''Why do you look at me like
that, Reb Jonah? She is lovely
girl, from a big town, and has
business in her hands that will in
time bring in more than five thou
sand roubles."
"And what will your father say
to it?''
"What do you care, Reb Jonah?
You go and talk; and if she con-
sents-t there is some doubt about
it will arrange with my father
all right. And about your fees,
Reb Jonah, don't let that worry
you. You will get as much from
me as if I were getting the first
thousand roubles dowry."

only afraid Of his father. He would
be wild when he got to know Of it.
That the girl should raise any OBJ
lection l never imagined. But so
it turned out.
"Will l marry that mad mathe
matician?" she said. "He would
count the grains of oatmeal in the
pot"
Did you ever hear such reply
from a girl?
But the young man would not
rest. He sent me again and again.
He wanted no dowry. On the con-
trary, he was ready to spend all
his money on her; would give her
father money, too. It was useless.
Her father was more than willing.
Why should he not want to get
into the family of Macheal Gins
preger? But Chyena of the bright
eyes would not even listen.
Chalye, on the other hand, would
hear of no other match.
''It is useless your talking, Reb
JONAH" he said. EITHER Chatz-
kels daughter or no one"

his mind in the course of time, but

held out against him the more he

her how we'll off the woman is who
marries business man. And he
threw in word or two that he was
his fathers only child; and in
hundred and twenty years he would
etc., etc.
But the more he talked the more
firmly she locked her lips, and the
more sternly she looked straight
at the wall.
You must know that Chalye is
by nature shy. And when he saw
her attitude he completely lost con-
troll over his powers of speech, and
did not know what to do with his
hands.
He was inspired by the idea of
showing her that he was no less
cultured than the empty tops of
Warsaw. And he began to explain
to her how clever he was at mathe-
MATES.
The moment he started on this
theme he was a changed man. He
was no longer shy and had no con-
straint. He was real professor.
'As regards what you say of
mathematics" he cried, as if they
had been arguing the subject for
the last three hours, "tell me, |
pray you," what is so clever as
arithmetic? Whether you buy a
pound of sugar or build ship you
must always calculate.
"Or take, for instance, the sci
ence of statistics. Is there more
important subject in the world?
For example, you go to get mar
ried. It is we'll that you should
know where you are in the world.
For example, we have today six
million Jews in Russia; of these
one million three hundred thousand
and thirty nine are bachelors, and
two million two hundred and sew
enty-f1Ve Thousand are unmarried
women. That means there are one
and three-quarter girls for each
man. Each year six hundred thou
sand one hundred and eleven are
married, and nine hundred and
seventy-fve thousand and forty
seven girls remain unmarried. If
we were to count up how many
girls remain unmarried in period
of ten years we should arrive at
the following figures"
Chalye was starting to make out
his calculation, when he raised his
eyes to the girl. She was death
like. Her eyes we're glazed. She
evidently wished to say something,

WE HAVE been asked to
" assist the American Red
- T. Cross in raising a mem
bership of $4,000 in Omaha with
in the next few days.
1t is our belief that we can best
do this by paying the cost of this
advertisement, appealing to our
friends---the men, women and
children Of Omaha and vicinity.
We feel that the maintenance
OF the Red Cross is a privilege as
well as an obligation, and that its
support should come from ALL
the people, not a few wealthy
contributors.
Japan has more than 100000
members; Germany had 100000
at the start of the war---Austria
$4,000.
Omaha, although SD in pop
ulation among the cities of the
United States, ranks 10Th in VOL
ume of business. We are conf
dent that if everyone will do their
part Omaha will be among the
first dozen cities of the country in
the support of the Red Cross.
This is. not a request for charity.
1t is our duty to take care of the
men who are called to war and of
those they must leave behind.
~. This Advertisement Inserted in Behalf of the

liged to go to the front, nor are
they expected to contribute finan-

THUMNAIL SKETCHES OF MEN
WHO RUN THE U. S. NAVY
(By United Press)

\by OultcU fE6SS)
Washington, April 18-The United
States navy was the pioneer of all
the navies of the world in adopting the
electrical drive for battleships. Now
electric propulsion is universal. A
few years will see the last of the
old coal-driven dreadnaught.
The change is considered the most
revolutionary of all modern naval de-
velopment.
The man who accomplished it is Ad-
r1iral Robert S. Griffin, engineer in
chief of the United States navy.
He is an expert of experts in any,
thing pertaining to marine construc
tion and is one of the veterans of the
bureau he now commands.
The mechanical equipment Of the
great chain of radio stations which
now link the United States with the
Orient has been largely under the di-
rection of Admiral Griffin. Through
the trans-Pacific leap the secretary
of the navy at his desk in Washing
ton can communicate instantly with
his commander of the Asiatic fleet,
wherever it may happen to be.
The navy expects much more of
Admiral Griffin's mechanical genius.

If anything in the way of evidence
were needed to convince the photo
public that Cecil b. De
Mile belongs to the front rank of
the great producers of the day, his
direction of "John the Woamn," which
will be shown at the Palace Monday
should supply it in full measure.
Miss Farrar in her Interpretation OF
Joan gives of the best of her great
talent in portrayal. Not always is
she the soldier, in mood and in
spirit. One of the best scenes in the
play is where after the coronation
in the Rheims cathedral she leaves the
king and goes to the entrance of the
great pile to greet Uncle LaXart, the
brother of her mother.

unless the price shows an unreason-
allie profit on the primal cost Of pro-
duction. The producers of food and
cotton have no right to expect more
We do not believe that they do. A
material decline in cotton seems i'm
probable, therefore, unless there is q
Ike decline in food products, labor
and livestock, which definitely enters
into what it cost to grow it.
Summed up, events indicate no bur
Idensome surplus while the war lasts.
They do indicate an acute shortage

Praise CensOr's Wise Counsel.
(By United Press)


Washington, April 19.-From time
immemorial the news censor has been
''cussed" by the newspaper man
Cases when his work has been appre-
ciated are so rare as to be we'll worth
recording.
Twenty-Five Washington newspa
per men on the State, War and Navy
"run," recently wrote a letter to Sec
rotary of War Baker in appreciation
OF the services of Major Douglas Nc
Arthur, the official War Department
censor. The letter, praising the "un-
failing kindness, patience and wise
counsel" of the major, bears the au.
tographs of the 20 men.
Secretary Baker, who has found
Major Macarthur invaluable as an ad-
wiser and aide, expressed wish that
the letter might be manifolded anc
distributed broadcast as proof that
real service is appreciated ever
though it may come from a news
censor.

The government has made it plain
that no exorbitant profits will be paid.
This should not convey the impression
that there is any doubt about the
patriotism of the railroads, labor
unions, the banking, manufacturing
and commercial interests Of the coun-
t1y, or about those engaged in agri-
cultural pursuits. The patriotism of
a,l these citizens has been established
beyond question. AS it relates to our
section, we are perfectly confident
that every bale of cotton in the South
today, and all that may be grown
during the coming season, would be
sacrificed without reservation should
the defense Of the nation demand it.
This attitude Of the government,
however, is apt to be construed as
m enace to business prosperity if its
tue status is not fully understood.
The nations economic efficiency is an
item of the very first Importance in
national preparedness. 1t is generally
accepted that this efficiency can only
he maintained on a profit-earning ba-
SIS. The government indicates its full
recognition Of this principle by max
ire allowance for a reasonable profit
in all of its contracts. While this fore
casts that the cost of production will
be carefully investigated, it also fore
casts that the prosperity Of all firms
having transactions with the govern
ment will be carefully considered.
AS it relates to cotton, the detailed
figures given in our letter of March
Ii indicate that the cost of growing
cotton today is about double what Ii
was when prices were from 10 to II
cents. Or, in other words, 20 to %
cents would not be an unreasonable
profit on the present cost of produc
ton. 1t is evident that the govern
ment is taking this view, as its agents
cnly a few days ago gave out the
statement that the purchasing power
CT a bale of cotton at the time prices
we're II cents was greater than the
purchasing power is new with prices
at 20 cents.
After all, war contracts will absorb
little OF the supply.
There will be many million bales
whose price will be fiyed without the
Intervention of the government. Fixing
this price will be distinctly an issue
between the producer and the spinner.
The trend towards the raw material
sharing more largely in the profits
f the manufactured product can be
expected to continue. The war is not
likely to interfere with this trend i'll
any material way. 1t is obvious, how
ever, that the war will give the pub
l;c a more intimate knowledge OF the
cost of manufacturing the raw mate
rial. While it may appear somewhat
raradoXical, we believe this informa-
tion will in the end conserve the in
lerest of both the producer and the
spinner.
That exports are falling off, that
there may be more than. enough cot
ton to 90 around and what will be-
come of the surplus, continues to be
discussed. All this is neutralized by
the ability of the South to carry the
surplus. In fact, the producing inter
sst fully realize that they may be
,alled upon to do this at any time,
and are fully prepared to meet it
They realize, too, that our entering
he war points to great shortage
