Save Your Appetites
For Speedway Races

Don't eat bite or buy cigar be-
tore you go out to the speedway for
the automobile races on the Fourth
of July" say Mrs. Howard Baldrige
and the fifty or more women and girls
who are working hard as her assist
ants in getting the Red Cross con-
cessions ready for that occasion. With
the aid of Mogy Bernstein and Bert
LIE Bron, who have proved themselves
model assistants, the women are pre-
pairing the booths for the sale of ice
cream, sandwiches, cigars and chewing
gum.
Three booths have been construct
ed, one inside the auto pit and two
outside, where society girls with a
chaperon for each ten will vend the
eatables. Mrs. Charles T. Kountze
has charge Of the booth inside the
auto circle. From this booth and
the Others the groups of seven or
ten girls will work among the crowds
selling their wares for the benefit of
the Red Cross. That is why they are
asking their friends and acquaintance
to eat nothing at all before they go,
so that they can buy more from the
Red Cross booths when they get
there. Any man who deliberately
buys his cigars before he goes to the
speedway the woman have promised
to blackball.

H. c. L. Not Due to Freight
Rates, Says Rail Official

Charles J. Lane, general freight
agent of the Union Pacific, has fig
uted out that railroad freight rates
cut but little figure in the matter OF
the high cost of living.
As an illustration of his contention
that the freight rate is one of the
minor items in the cost of living, he
cites the fact that the rate on a
pound of beef, live weight, from North
Platte, into Omaha, is but one-sixth
of cent a pound. The haul is 281
miles.
Taking up the freight that is ap-
piled in connection with wheat that
eventually finds its way into bread,
Mr.. Lane in using Big Springs, Neb.,
as basis for his argument, says that
the rate per .bushel into Omaha, a
distance of $50 miles, is .092 cents per
bushel. One bushel of wheat, ground
into -four, Mr.. Lane says will make
sixty-fve 10-cent loaves of bread. The
freight on enough -four to make one
of these loaves, Mr.. Lane figures
would amount to one-seventh of a
cent. He. uses other illustrations,
showing that the flour rate from
Seattle, Wash, 1000 miles, amounts
to but two-ffths Of cent for enough
to make l0-cent loaf of bread.

Mayor to Appoint Three
Women to Attend Council

Presidents Of Omaha womans Or
ganizations have been in a quandary
the last week over the appointment
of delegates to the meeting at Lin
coin Saturday Of the Nebraska Coun-
Gil of Defense.
For the last three, days they have
watched their mail for instructions
as to the appointment of delegates
from their respective organizations. A
few went so far as to select the dele
gates to be ready for the call when it
came.
Finally when the postman failed to
bring the expected letter, Mrs. A. l..
Fernald, president of the Woman's
club, telephoned the mayor to ask
what she should do. Re-reading the
letter he had received, he discovered
that the delegates are to be state
presidents of organizations and one
delegate from each city, with the ex-
ception of Omaha, which will have
three. to be appointed by the mayor.

man, members of the registration
board for selective army conscrip.
tion, have filed special appearances in
district court objecting to the juris-

Ministers to Preach
On Food Conservation

Seven hundred and fifty-three min
listers in Nebraska have been called
up by the Bell Telephone company in
the last few days and asked to preach
sermons, Sunday, July |, on the con-
servation of food.
This was done at the request of
Herbert c. Hoover, national food ad-
ministrator, who took this quick and
practical way OF reaching all the min
listers in the United States.
Out OF the 753 ministers called, only
eighty-five declined to preach the SER
mon, most of them declining on the
ground that they had little informa-
ton on the subject. The Bell COM
pany has forwarded to Washington
the results Of its canvass of the min
isters for the information of Mr..
Hoover ard the facilitating of further
steps in this direction.

MALONEY MAY MAKE
APOLOGY TO KUGEL
Friday Afternoon Set for Hear.
ing of the DIRTY Rat"
Charges; Commission
ers as Witnesses.

The city commissioners definitely
fixed 2 p. m. Friday as the time for
hearing the dirty rat" charges
against Captain Stephen Maloney.
City Attorney Rine, who filed the
charges at the request of Commission
er Kugel, has summoned the city COM
missioners as witnesses and several
outsiders also will be summoned.
Attorney Ben S. Baker will repre-
sent Maloney.
Superintendent Kugel, to whom the
appellation was applied, at the time
did not take any appreciable cog
nizance of the outbreak, but several
days later requested the city attor-
ney to file the charges.
One Of the current city rumors is
that Captain Maloney may offer to
make public apology, on the grounds
that he was under unusual mental
strain and stress, and lost control of
himself.

CACKLING HENS
LEAD TO ARRESTS
Officer Wheeler Hears Noise in
Auto and Finds Drivers
of Machine Hidden in
the Bushes.

Officer Wheeler, better known as
the chief OF police of Dundee, had
his attention attracted to an automo-
bile standing near the park in Dundee
at 7 yesterday morning by the cack-
ling of hens, On investigating he
found the occupants of the automo-
bile hidden under bushes growing in
the park. Two men and two women
were in the party. The men were ar
rested, but the wome2 escaped while
the men were being secured.
When brought to the station the
men gave as their names Frank Hart,
Enid. Okla, and Kent Dunlap, Wich-
ita, Kan. The two women were later
found in the rooms they occupy at
Thirtieth and Pinkney streets. They
gave as their names May Dwyer,
alias Hart, alias Pipe and Helen Hale
alias Mrs. Paul Ray.
Tell Different Stories.
When questioned as to their where
abouts all told different stories. Later
they would admit that they had been
lying and tell another. John Dunn,
acting captain of detectives, said: II
will admit that they are all lying, but
we can do nothing with them until
we trace the automobile they were
driving, which | believe to be stolen.
The fact that they have a Kansas and
Nebraska license number both looks
bad. Three dozen and eight chick
ems were found in the automobile,
and if anybody had chickens stolen
last night I wish they would come
and identify them."
All, at one time, asserted that they
had been living at 3l2 West Third
street, Wichita, Kan, two weeks ago.
Dunlap told that he had sent his wife
to Kansas three days ago. The story
they told most consistently was that
they left here any time between 9
o'clock in the morning and II o'clock
last night and went to Springfield,
where they purchased the chickens.
The engine, they say, stopped in Dun
dee and they went into the park to
wait for it to COOL 81 will gladly
give cigaret as a reward to anyone
who can tell what they were doing
from their story" said Dunn.

ISoME ORE DEPOSITS YOUNG
Such Famous Mining Camps as
Goldfieid and Tonopah.

Ore deposits ranging in age from the
time when the most complex living
thing on the earth was a crablike crea-
ture down to the time when mammals
were highly developed have been found
In this country. Among the younger
deposits is a group known to geolo-
gists as the late tertiary veins.
These veins are widely distributed
and are of particular interest not only
because they have given rise &c famous
mining camps such as Tonopah, Gold
field and Comstock, but because, owing
to their comparative youth. the surface
on which they crop out is not greatly
below that whoch existed at the time
of their origin. Thus by considering
the surface conditions and by labora-
tory experiments the phenomena they
present can be interpreted more accu-
rately than those Of older deposits
which are at greater depths and are
more deeply cut by erosion.
Many of the late tertiary veins in
this country, all Enclosed in lava rocks
or closely associated with them. are
found in Nevada.

And Prudence leaped out. of bed and
started for the door, followed by Fairy,
with the twins creeping fearfully along
in the rear.
"She was asleep" muttered Carol.
1--WE didn't want to scare her." added
Lark.
Prudence was careful to turn the
switch by the door, so that the room
was in full light before she entered.
The closet door was wide open. Con-
ME was soundly sleeping. There was
no one else in the room.
"You see" said Prudence sternly.
"I'll bet he took our ruby rings" de-
clared Lark, and the twins and Fairy
ran to the dresser to look.
But a sickening realization had come
home to Prudence. In the lower hall.
under the staircase, was q small dark
closet which they called the dungeon.
The dungeon door was big and solid.
and was equipped with a heavy catch
lock. In this dungeon, Prudence kept
the family silverware, and all the
money she had on hand, as 1t could
there be safely locked away. But more
often than not, Prudence forgot to lock
