GOODS sPURN SMALL INCOME
Wouldn't Marry Man Who Gets Less
Than 81, 500 a Year, Girls
Say.

If any of the gay young LOtharios
or Romeos of this bustling and enter
prising village have designs on the
charming goods at the University of
Omaha, they are warned to look to
their check books. Big, black eyes,
pompadoured locks, glistening white
teeth and neatly manicured nails don't
cut any ice with the Omaha co-eds.
An income of at least 81, 500 annual
ly is the first inducement bachelors
with an inclination to leap into the
matrimonial sea with an Omaha coed
must make. So the goods answered
Prof. Harry De Lamatre, instructor in
economics. when he asked them what
they considered suitable salary for a
man who is going to be married, says
the Omaha Bee.
When De Lamatre said he believed
an income Of 81 900 a year was quite
sufficient from an economical stand
point, the fair young things burst forth
with a simultaneous shout of protest
and incredulity. "Who would want
to live on that?" they demanded.
The Omaha co-eds don't demand
luxurious limousines, birds of paradise
eled shoes, but they insist it takes ST.
500 year to keep a home going.
Upon hearing the views of their fair
schoolmates the boys at the university
promptly held an indignation meeting
and decided to boycott what they
called the extravagant co-eds and find
girls who aren't filled with ''high-
falutin" ideas.

TRAINING TODAY'S
BOYS AND GIRLS
Happy Child Is the One That
Travels Peacefully.
KEEPING HIM GOOD MATURED
BUSY Work" for Fidgety Little Hands,
A Set of Simple Amusements, and
Mothers Train Problem Is No
Problem at All.
BY slDoNIE M. GUTENBERG.

lAI HEN the train stopped at the first
w station, the older of the two wom-
en- near the end of the car looked out
nervouSly to see who was getting on.
She was not awaiting anyone; she was
only worrying lest some children get
aboard and make the rest of the trip
miserable for her. Some children did
get on-three of them, with only one
mother to take care of them. Then
the nervous woman felt sure there
would be trouble, and her companion
could not comfort her. She knew the
children would be running about and
shouting; that they would be restless
and bother the mother for a drink or
for candy, and that they would surely
make her journey miserable. She only
dared hope that they would not stay
on the train long. And when the train
started off again, she settled down
comfortably to a good, old-fashioned'
fretting spell.
And at the same time the mother
of the three children settled down
comfortably to a whole days travel.
First she called the porter and had
him get a table. At this she placed
the two older children, with a box of
colored crayons and some outline pic
lures. The children set to work COM
pairing notes as to the color to be used
for the horses or ships, and babbling
continuously about the incidents sug-
gested by the pictures The youngest
child was given some beads, with
which he played until he fell asleep |;
and the mother took occasion to sit
back quietly and rest while there was
still a chance.
When the children tired of working
with the crayons the mother dipped
into her baggage again and brought
forth some "cut-out" pictures, with
two pairs of dull-noSed scissors. Sort
ing the pictures and deciding which
ones were to be attacked first helped
to eat up some of the time, and then
| they were busy nearly an hour-with
the interruptions at stations and oc-
casional glances at the moving land
scape.
After short period of relaxation
the children were again ready to do
something, and the mother suggested
reading a story. This seemed to meet
with approval, and the mother drew
| forth a book the children selected the
| story, and the mother read to them.
| They stopped to look at the pictures
and to discuss the ethics of Jack
| making way with the giants wealth,
the elder boy contending that 1t was
not really stealing since the giant had
+ taken it from Jacks father.
Then the baby awoke and mother OBJ
served that it was time for luncheon.
This was dispatched in a happy and
4eisurely manner. After luncheon had
been cleared away the mother pro-
duced couple of "Stampkraft'' books,
containing Mother Goose" or fairy
tales, with packets of poster stamps
The selection and comparing and past
ing of these stamps kept the children
| busy and the mother was able to give

Results of Tests Made Last
Winter by Kansas City People
Now Announced.

From the Kansas City star-When the
Southern treatment for Group and
cold troubles-Vick's Vap-O-Rub
Salve-was being introduced In
Kansas City, Mo-, last spring, the
local druggists naturally were skep-
tIcaI. They wanted to be shown"
that vap-O-Rub really would relieve
Group and colds just by applying
over the throat and chest. So ar
ranqements were made for each
druggist to give away few compIi-
mentary Jars to his customers on
condition that they give it a thor
ouch trial and report the results.
We give below a few extracts from
these reports.
Mrs. James Ro1lens. 1928 Tracey

for a cold in the chest and find IL ex-
cellent, and especially so for children.
