MORE FREIGHT CARS
IS RAILROADS CRY
Figure Too Many Cars Con
stantly in Shops f~r Repairs
and a Remedy is Be-
ing Sought.

The Committee on National De-
fense, through its subcommittee on
railroads, has pointed out the method
OF adding 10000 freight cars to the
equipment OF the railroads of the
country and without any additional
expenditure of money.
Railroad officials admit that this
can be done and that generally the
roads are willing to give the plan a
trial.
The railroads own total Of 2,575,-
600 freight cars. Under normal con-
ditions, 10000, or 6.5 per cent are al
ways in the shops for repairs. A re-
iuction to per cent can be made il
speeding up plan is adopted. This
would release $4,000 cars for service.
The average daily run Of a freight
car is twenty-five miles. By adopting
the speeding up plan. the average can
be increased to thirty miles, which
would be equivalent to the addition
OF $4,000 cars.
Railroads and shippers are urged to
Join hands and see that all cars are
loaded to 10 per cent over marked
weight capacity, which would equal
an addition of 100000 cars.

Asks School Board to Take
Free Dental DiSpenSary

A proposition has been made to
have the Omaha Free Dental Dis
pensary for Children taken over by
the city government or Board of Ed
ucation. Failure to receive financial
support as planned is the reason for
the situation.
The executive committee Of the
Commercial club requested its conf
mittee on city health and hospitals to
investigate and report.
The dispensary was started last
January and to date ops children have
been given free dental treatment. The
need Of the work and the success of
the dspensary have been demon
strated to its founders and the prob
lem now is tc arrange the finances to
permit continuance of the work.

"Goodby, fellows, I'm glad met
you all. Come on, Jimmie"
1t was thus that Mrs. ]. II. Hughes,
the baby bride, lett the matron's
quarters at police station after two
weeks Imprisonment on the charge
of forgery. Her husband had re-
deemed the check and the court had
dismissed the charge.
Her jovial farewell was flung at the
police and reporters. The come on,
Jimmie" was for her sedate husband,
James H. Hughes, aged So years, a
$5-a-day mill worker at Fort Dodge,
la.
Mrs. Hughes, who is only IL years
old, induced her husband to announce
that they were not going home till TO-
morrow. They are going to spend
one night seeing the sights" in the
city.
And then it's back to Fort Dodge
for me-" said the child-wife glibly.
Jimmie is going to pay more atten
ton to me and | am going to live Just
for him. You won't find me breaking
over the traces again"
Mrs. Hughes, who wears her hair
bobbed. looked fidiculously childish
in modish summer suit and gaily-
colored straw hat.
Matron Gibbons and Mrs. Hughes
Lave developed a strong mutual
friendship. .
Il really don't like to leave you,"
said the baoy bride. You have been
very good to me-
And I'll miss you, Marie" said the

Then Mrs. Hughes took her hus-
band by the hand and skipped down

If there are any timorous youths
in Nebraska who think to escape the
grim requirements of war by hiking
out for backwoods farm, they are
badly mistaken. is the declaration Of
Ensign John Rayley of the naval re-
cruiting station here. He has been
informed that Nebraska municipali-
ties, particularlyythe small ones in ag-
ricultural districts, are organizing
vigilance committees" to weed out
possible slackers.
"A pitchfork is a four tined in
strument sharpened to needle-effi- :
ciency,' leading business man OF Ord
told me- said Rayley. He added
that the vigilance committee will
adopt the pitchfork as an inspiration
to laggers. He also remarked that a
pitchfork, applied to the slack Of a
slacker's clothes. has been known to
accomplish wonderful results"

Council Postpones Bread
Ordinance for Six Months

The city council committee of the
whole voted to recommend six
months postponement of considera-
ton of an ordinance to provide stand
ard weights for bread.
The proposal was to make one
pound the standard and loaves weigh
ing more than one pound to be OF
lnultples of pounds. One-half and
three -fourths were to be the legal
weights for less than one pound.
The mayor, who offered the ordi-
nance, said he believed it would be
unwse to pass this legislation at this
time, in view of uncertain conditions
of the flour market,
Commissioner Hummel took occa-
sion to remark that one of the causes
Of high cost of living is unnecessary

Pitchforks Used on Slackers
By Eate Vigilance Committee

Ord, Albion, Madison and half
dozen other towns are arranging wi
GLANCE committees" to inspire quit
ters who are expected to become ne
glectful of their duty.
Feed a warrior or be oneF is the
slogan adopted, and no half way point
will be tolerated.
Rayley says his tour Of the state
for recruits develops the fact that pa
triotsm is more intense as smaller
communities are reached, and that in
proportion TO population. Madison,
Neb., beats Omaha for recruits.
Five recruits to the navy from Nor
folk arrived Sunday and signed up
bright and early, and five more are re-
ported on their way. Recruiting con-
tinues brisk for the navy and the
probabilities are, according to Rayley,
that the local station will beat any
other city in the same class in the
matter OF new men taken on.
