OF the day when he graduated out OF the

Central High school. Principal Nightin-

by Mr., Jardine, goes something like this:
I'VE were being questioned about the
races of people inhabiting this continent
before the advent of Columbus. The
evening before had been reading Oar
wins evolution theory. A boy named
Redfield was standing in school near me
He was asked the question about the
early races and frequently looked to me
for answers On this occasion told him
to answer monkeys which he did, and
then he burst out into an irrepresslble fit
of laughter, while 1 remained quite sober.
That broke up the school The teacher
suspected me, but 1 maintained an atti-
tude OF injured innocence.
The teacher sent me TO Principal
Nightingale. who ordered me to remove
my coat for a reason which 1 understood
without being told. but Just to be con-
trary told the principal would not
take my coat off. The principal solemnly
declared he intended to whip me and /

The Haynes twelve-cylinder chassis is
one of the big attractions of the Auto
show. The Haynes company was one Of
the first manufacturers of automobiles
and of recent years has built one of the
most popular light six-cylinder machines
on the market.
In short time the twelve-cylinder
Haynes will be on the market. Charlie
Corkhill. Omaha representative for the
Haynes, asked that one of the twelve
cylinder chassis be sent to Omaha for

one of the biggest distributors the Haynes
company has. ~ r'''s
Mr.. Corkhill declares that already he
has received a number OF orders for the
twelve, even though he has not received
any of the cars yet. THE light six Is
not losing any of its popularity, either"
says Corkhill. I'm selling them even
beyond my fondest expectations. Lots of
people want the twelve and lots of others
want the six. We are going to have

Yes, l asked him what could have

BRIGHTER CHILDREN

Children are probably brighterto-day
than a generation ago-but are they
strongerf That's a grave question.
So many pinched faces, dulled eyes
and languid feelings make us wonder
if they will ever grow into robust,
healthy men and women.
If your children catch colds easily,
are tired when rising, lack healthy
color, or find studies difficult, give
them SCOTS Emulsion for one month
to enrich their blood and restore the
body-forces to healthy action.
SCOTS Emulsion is used in private
schools. 1t is not "patent medicine"
simply a highly concentrated oil-food
without alcohol or harmful drugs. 1t
cannot harm; it improves blood; it bene-
fits lungs and strengthens the system.

Great Battle Of verdun
Appalling,
rEUToNs ATTACKING WITH FURY

PARIS, Feb. 25.--At the great bat
tic being fought a few miles north
of the stronghold of Verdun, the
eastern pivot Of the French front, so
far the Germans, by sheer weight Of
II en- and metal, have succeeded in
forcing the French left wing back for
three miles to Samogneux. on the
heights above the Meuse. and for a
shorten distance on the right, but
they have made little impression on
the center. The line is bent, but far
from broken. The nature of the
country between Beaumont and
Samogneux lends itself more to at
tack than to defense and the French
command appears to have brought
the line back chiefly to avoid useless
losses and to take up positions that
ARE more easily defended.
Artillery Operations.
No infantry attacks were made by the
Germans on the extremities of the battle
front, their action being confined to
violent and continuous artillery opera
lions, but the French artillery has sue
Ceeded in holding its own. The assaults
ended at the heights of Herbebois and
the positions of Deux Jumelles, Between
these latter points passes an important
road which, after skirting the heights of
the Meuse. joins the main road from
Itain to Damviliers.
The French defense according to mill
tary experts, has proved itself most ef-
fective by inflicting appalling losses on
the Germans Prisoners taken yester-
day stated that whole regiments have
been wiped out, 1t is expected, however,
that the Germans will return to the
charge with renewed fury as they desire
10 get within reach of the forts. They
are now within two miles of that of
Douaumont, within three miles OF that
of Charny and about the same distance
Of vaux and Tavannes. If they should
succeed in their purpose-which Is thought
in military circles to be highly improb-
albeit would be at cost of life out of
