Inquisitiveness often Leads

And he who tumbles in thereat
win be inquisitive no more.
Jimmy skunk has so little fear OF
any body and Is so independent be-
cause OF this that he Is apt To be In
quisitive about things which don't
concern him In the least. Inquisi-
tiveness IL. you know, one form OF
idle curiosity. II Is curiosity about
IN. affairs OF other people. Jimmy
always has been rather inquisitive
about things at Farmer Browns
house. That IL largely because he
knows that everybody there has so
much respect for his little bag Of
him. Even Bowser the Hound keeps
at q respectful distance from Jimmy
skunk.

Passover Appeal to Aid
Jews in the War Zone

A Passover appeal to the Jews OF
America to come at this time to the
aid OF the Jews in the war zones, has
just been issued by the central relief
committee, and has been distributed
broadcast throughout the United
States.
The appeal begins with the words:
Our people abroad cannot work.
They cannot earn money. The cannot
feed their families. But they can
starve! Will you let them?"
The appeal then goes on to contrast
the exodus Of the Jews from bondage
with the present fight of refugees
without clothes, without food and
without hope from the battle areas OF
Europe. This is the third Passover
since the beginning of the war and
finds the Jews in more dire plight
than ever. . T. ~
The alternative to help from Amer
lea is, the appeal concludes, ruin,
starvation, death! Shall the answer
be: Bread for the living or shrouds
for the dead? is the final sentence,

TRAIN YOUR HAIR AS AN
ACTRESS DOES

No class of people devotes as much
time to beauty as do actresses, and
no class must be more careful to re-
tain and develop their charms. In
quiry develops the information that
in hair care they find it dangerous to
shampoo with any makeshift hair
cleanser. The majority say that to
have the best hair wash and scalp
stimulator at cost Of about three
cents, one need only get package OF
canthrox from your druggist; dis
solve teaspoonful in cup Of hot
water and your shampoo is ready.
This makes enough shampoo liquid
to apply it to all the hair instead Of
just the top Of the head. After its
use the hair dries rapidly, with uni.
form color. Dandruff, excess oil and
dirt are quickly dissolved and ep.
tirely disappear when you rinse the
hair. After this your hair will be Sc
fluffy that it will look much heavier
than it is. Its lustrc and softness
will also delight you, while the stim'
ulated scalp gains the health which
insures hair growth.-Adv.

ROMANCE OF YOUTH
SHATTERED BY LAW
Fourteen-Y Year old Girl Runs
Away from Home and
Come Here to Wed.
BACK TO NORTH PLATTE

A blue-eyed, faxen-haired girl, IA
years old, looked out upon the world
Wednesday morning from her cell in
the police matron's room and volun-
teered to marry the man who wronged
her. \
81 will marry him." she said, lust
to save him from the penitentiary
And then, if we don't get along, |
can get a divorce from him."
The child, who is wise far beyond
her years, is Ruby Eloise Hutchin-
son stepdaughter OF Ed Cahill of
North Platte. The man in the case
is Walter Raueche, also of North
Platte, whose brother, w. E. Raueche,
lives at 1851 Ames avenue, Omaha.
Both were arrested by the morals
squad at the Raueche home here Tues
day night and charged with being flu
gitives from justice. The additional
charge of incorrigibility is lodged
against the girl.
Big City Bride.
1t does not seem to disturb Ruby
to know that her love-dream which
was to have led her to the altar as
big city BRIDE" brought her in
stead to the police station. She talked
of herself and her home quite freely.
1t was on Saturday night, back in
her coy North Platte home, that the
shattered romance started, she said
She wanted to attend dance at Her
shey with Raueche, whom she knew
she says, for more than year. Her
stepfather objected to her going on
the grounds that she was too young
to attend dances. But Ruby had
a date with Walter and slipped out
of the house to meet him.
Ruby says she enjoyed every num-
Der of the dance and she and Walter
had a good time. But when they
prepared to go home she found that
the buggy and driver who had
brought them to Hershey had re-
turned to North Platte. She suggested
that she spend the night with some
Of her relatives at Hershey.
mo" said Raueche, according to
her story, "lets go to Omaha and
stay with my brother there. Then we
can get married"
1t was as much the wish to see the
big city as the desire to get married
that prompted the child to say yes"
she says. The couple arrived in this
city Sunday night and straightway
went to the Raueche home here,
where Walter introduced Ruby as his
wife. She permitted the introduction,
she says, believing that on the next
day she would really become Mrs.
Walter Raueche.
Meanwhile, Ruby's parents had no..
tilted the police of her disappearance
from home. Sheriff Salisbury will take
Raueche and Ruby back home, where
marriage ceremony will probably
be performed. D.

covering the case, Lieutenant Wad-
dell could not sign the unexpected APP
plicant. She gave her name as Alice
Mccain and said she was 10 years OF
age. She was visiting Omaha friends,
whose names and address she refused
to divulge. She last worked as a
stenographer in Lincoln, she asserted.
Come in again soon," the lieuten-
ant said, invitingly. Members OF the
recruiting staff cordially echoed the
invitation and then tried to settle
down again to the Office routine. Miss
Mccain went away, uncertain as to
becoming yeowoman in Uncle
Sans navy.
Unofficial advices from Washington
are to the effect that Secretary Dan
iels of the navy has issued orders that
shore station commandants and re-
cruiting officers be prepared to enlist
women for yeoman service on shore
in case of emergency.
Difficulty Of securing men for such
clerical positions is given as the rea-
son for planning to enlist women.
The plan would release men from

permit them to serve as fighters with
