THREE REGIMENTS
WILL Be OFFERED
Poles, Danes and Civil War
Veterans Will Volunteer
Services.
MEETING HELD TODAY

If war actually comes, three distinct
and special volunteer regiments will
be raised in Omaha, in addition TO the
regulars and the National Guard and
any general volunteers.
A regiment of Polish-Amerieans is
one of the special organizations
planned. Preliminary to this, meet
ing of Poles will be held today, in the
Polish settlement. Father Kalamaja
of the Polish Catholic church has
been asked to assist. Mayor Dahlman
will speak. Lieutenant James Con-
nelly of the National Guard, says that
many men of Polish extraction would
join such volunteer regiment, in case
OF war.
Captain William Neve, who organ
lied volunteer company of Danes
for the Spanish war, has offered to
raise a whole regiment of Danes in
the Omaha district, if war should de-
velop at this time. Although over 80
years of age, he says he is still ready
to fight, and has already made his
offer of a Danish regiment to Presi-
dent Wilson.
The third special volunteer regi-
ment contemplated is that OF civil war
veterans, for home guard duty. Cap

Immune Serum Effective
In Baby Plaque Treatment

New York, April l.-Results of
Investigations undertaken by the
Rockefeller Institute last summer,
after the outbreak of the infantile
paralysis and carried on since
through experiments on monkeys, are
set forth in the April number of the
Journal of Experimental Medicine,
the institute publication, proofs of
which were made public today.
Definite announcement is made that
immune serum derived from the
blood of those who have recovered
from the disease, is of definite cura-
tive value. The report contains an
analysis of twenty-six cases in which
records were taken. In fourteen
cases the serum was administered
before paralysis had developed. Signs
of paralysis followed in only four of
these. OF the entire twenty-six, a
large proportion showed improve
ment after the treatment. The report
concludes that the serum is of the
greatest value when given both by
intraspinal and intravenous injections
and when used in fairly large guam
titles. 1t was found to have pre-
vented paralysis from appearing and
when the disease has appeared from
extending more widely.

GAME OF CHECKERS
GREAT FOR NERVES
School Director Experiments
Successfully With Nerve
Racked Boy.
SCHOOL WITH NO EXPENSES

F. w. Bason, director of vocational
work at the Fort School for Boys, be-
lieves that the ancient and honorable
game of checkers is one of the best
nerve toners. He has made expert
ments and proved his case. Lionel
Tuffield, one of the boys at the
school, was so nervous he could hard
ly hold a piece of paper in his hand.
Mr.. Bason played checkers with the
boy every morning for period of
months and during regular hours OF
the school instructed him in the ma
chine shop. Master Tufheld has been
turning out some tools that have won
splendid comments from experienced
mechanics.
IF you have case of nerves, play
few games of checkers every day."
said Mr.. Bason.
The Tuffield boy has just passed
the naval militia examination and his
clever work in making a double
handled wrench took him quite a
way in this examination.
Admirable Tools.
Mr.. Bason showed a collection OF
tools made by his boys when he ap-
peared before the Omaha Civic
league. He explained that at the Fort
school his little workmen use up
every conceivable form Of scrap
metal discarded by the other depart
ments of the school system. An old
shovel is used in making tack pullers
and calipers. Neat hinges and han
dies for tool boxes are made out OF
scraps of brass pipe and tubing. In
four years only $2S has been spent
for material in the machine shop OF
Fort school.
The boys have finished a hand
truck which is used at the school,
There are forty-fve boys now en-
gagged in the machine work at the
Fort school and every one of them
is intensely Interested in the work.

Hitchcock and
Lobeck Get Wire
From E. G. Twamley

"The west is not yet ready to sell
its birthright. Steer straight course"
That is the message which E. c.
Twamley, 33l7 Burt street, wired Sat-
urday to G. M. Hitchcock, United
States senator from Nebraska.
To c. o. Lobeck, Mr.. Twamley
wired:
1.-TWO years ago, you objected to
turning this country into an armed
camp. After wasting two years, you
are obliged to take action. Go ahead
and don't doubt the patriotism Of the
west"
Mr.. Twamley says it was his per.
sonal feelings only which prompted
him to send the kilograms.
Some of this paid advertising stuff
about preserving peace makes me
sick" he continued.

CRYSTAL-GAZING
SHOWS HER GUILT
But Welfare Board Members
Cannot Agree With Super
stitious Mother.
LEGAL AID BUREAU BUSY

As it enters upon the second year
of activity the Board of Public We'll
fare expands with each weeks work.
During a day of last week the free
legal aid department received ten new
cases, gave advice in fourteen cases
and attended to four old cases. Hous-
ing investigators inspected twelve
places to determine whether living
conditions were conducive to health,
morals and general social welfare.
The employment bureau placed forty.
one applicants in positions, and the
domestic relations department adj
ministered to various disabled fami-
lies.
Attorney Mcclure had an unusual
case of a mother who complained of
alleged misconduct of daughter. The
complainant made a serious charge
and when pressed for evidence on
which to base complaint she admit
ted that she was an addict of crystal
gazing. She had seen her daughter
in the glass and described to Mr.. Nc
CURE some of the scenes she said had
been revealed to her by the crystal.
A woman bought suit at an in
stal1ment house and when her hus-
band was told of the purchase he Or
dered her to return the garments,
which she did during the next morn
ing, but the store would not accept
the returned goods. The installment
people told her the health commits
sioner prohibited acceptance of re-
turned goods on account of danger
of contagion. She went to the health
office and then to the Welfare boards
office, where efforts were made to
relieve this woman of the impending
wrath of her husband.

Another Irwin Show
Starts Well at Gayety

A very good show is at the Gayety
theater this week. 1t is Fred Twins
"Majestics,' an deliberately staged
medley of clean fun, replete with spe-
cialties that really entertain. Twins
so-called "Big Show" which held the
board at the theater last week, is a
midget mimicry in comparison. In
every scene (and there are fifteen of
'em) may be found panacea for "the
blues" If there is a crouch in your
system, you need the pleasant, sugar
coated antidote which Florence Ben
nett, Frank De Mont, Lyle La Pine,
Paul Cunningham and Doc Dell offer.
Cunningham scores with his Good
bye, Daddy" La Pine and Florence
Emery sing ditty about Love in
Frog Land" which is winner. La
Pines rendition of when the Old
Town Goes Dry" strikes home with a
zip. Miss Bennett and Cunningham
get deserved encores with their catchy
song, Dancing to Ukelele Band"
and their singing of Before | Met
You" is a big hit.
The Franks entertain with dances
on roller skates. Doc Dell dances
eccentrically. Frank and Grace De-
mont stage a bathtub pantomime.
Demont and John Keit offer a win
ming skit, college Nonsense" marked
by snappy dialogue and acrobatic
dancing. La Pine and Dell have
clever nonsense in their song-duet.
And it's girl show. A certain Mr..
Hayden accepts responsibility for the
costumes scant, as we'll as the elabo-
rate ones. The way the girls fill them
seems to have met the complete ap-
proval of last nights audience.

MASARYk ABSENT FROM
HIS OWN EXECUTION
lannon's Slav Sentenced to Death For
Treason by Austria-Refuses to
Play Game.
Omitted Press)


LONDON, Jan. 11-Professor L. U.
Masahyk will have to send his regrets
to Vienna when the time comes for
his execution. Masaryk is scheduled
to be the guest of honor at the kill
ing but dosen't believe he will be able
to attend.
The Austrian government conducted
a regular orderly trial of Masaryk on
charges of high treason. He was sen
fenced to death following verdict
of guilty. The defendant was in Lon
don where he remains today as lee
turer at the university of London.
Masaryk is one of the most interest
ing figures in the Slav political and
scientific world. AS leader of the pro
gressives in the Roichsrath he was
| forever demanding liberation OF the
| Czoch nation from Austria domin alton
The outbreak of the war made
| things very uncomfortable for the pro
lessor in Austria so he left.
He had organized and led the op
position to Austria's annexation o
Bosnia and Horzogavinia.
Masaryk, although theoretically al
enemy alien has found London
friendly haven compared to his home
land.
