Burwell, Neb., Aug. 22.-To the
Editor Of The Bee: I have just read
in your paper the letter signed "An
Observer" dated August 20. The
writer lives in Omaha and has al
ways thought Of this same subject.
1t does look as though people would
think of those who are not fortunate
enough to have a car and ask them
to enjoy this wonderful pastime and
pleasure. But let me quote an in
stance:
A friend Of mine in another city
was kind enough to ask a friend to
go riding, but on one occasion he had
the misfortune of an accident and one
Of the invited riders was injured
This injury cost my friend something
over $4,000, as the rider whom he had
invited to take a ride sued for dam
ages.
Is there any law that would pre-
vent the injured party from bringing
suit in a case Of this kind?
Our people are far from selfish. In
fact they are wonderful people and
are always ready to help its citizens,
but because they do not feel like
taking the chance of responsibility
does not condemn them in the writ
er's view. A. S. K.

Making German Music PAY.

While as people we are not making war on
whatever is worth while in German art or litera-
ture. our industrious commissioners for the intern
ment and management Of alien poperty has found
means to make German music help pay the war
debt. For example, there is Emmy Destnn,
whose golden notes have been impershaby
recorded on many asgraphaphone disc, each of
which has returned certain small honorarium

Is now to be impounded, and instead of going to
line the pockets OF the bountiful frau, it will be
invested in Liberty bonds or war savings stamps.
Ditto Fritz Kreisler, whose magic art with the
violin has charmed the ear and soothed the
breast OF so many who appreciate music. He
came back to US from the war, wounded and unfit
for further active duty but with his art un-
touched For him let it be said that he did not
Try to foist himself on Americans after war was
declared but had the good taste to cancel his en-
gagements before he fell into the disrepute that
has overtaken some Of his guild Kreisler has
made many records that are being sold, and these
will also turn in revenue to the alien property
man.
Others fall into this class, and then comes the
steady stream of American gold that has tricklet
into the pockets of German and Austrian com
posers, which will be diverted to Uncle Sam!

Wants to Close High Schools.

Omaha, Aug. 23.-To the Editor Of
The Bee: Considerable comment is
circulated concerning nonessential
employment. This, indeed, is a vital
subject at this time. Our country
needs every available man, and non
essentials should be eliminated until
this war Is ended, If not forever.
Have the commentators ever real
lied that high school education and
all educational Institutes, having pu-
pills from Is to 20 years, are possibly
not as essential as the feeding of the
soldiers at the front? Why not post
pone this education for two or three
years, and have these students assist
In doing the necessary work of our
country at this present time and then
take up their studies at the end of
the war? They are needed now, but
If they keep on with their schooling
and finish their course there will un-
doubtedly be large number Of them
ready for service when our boys re-
turn from the front, and at that time
they will not be needed as they are
now. G. B.;

POstponing the Quarrel.

A lady who lives in our neighbor-
hood hired a small boy to do a little
piece of work for her. When the work
was finished she gave the first boy a
quarter. the price agreed upon before
hand. Then difficulty arose about
the division Of that quarter. We
overheard the conversation.
"I'll match you for the odd cent"
proposed the second boy.
"Aw, rats" said the first, who was
q sport. "I'll match you for the
whole quarter"
Il amt no gambler" protested the
other. Lets buy a Thrift stamp with
the quarter an start a partnership
book"
And they did.--Cleyeland Plain

TWace Told Tales
Choir Didn't Matter.

The late Lord Alverstone's love of
music made him for many years a
member of the choir at Kensington
parish church. A good many curious
folk went to see the unusual spec
tacle OF an attorney general in sur
plice. but were not always able to
identify him.
One of these visitors asked the
verger which of the choirmen was
the attorney general and received the
dignified reply:
That's the vicar, them's the cur
ates, I'm the verger, and so long as
the choir gives satisfaction it's not
my business to inquire into the ante
cedents of any of 'em."-London

Omaha, Aug. 23.-To the Editor Of
The Bee:: Time proves all things

dowed with the gift Of prophecy, but
let us hope that his word to the negro
recruits may come true. Part Of that
brief, brilliant, forensic effort: Boys

thousand times more welcome for do

Such words Of prophecy are wear

While mixing in the crowds you
could hear members Of the dominant

ON THE OLD HOME PORCH,

Scent Of honeysuckie
As the soft night shadows fall.
Little stirs and bushes
- And sleepy robins call.
Brush Of leaves and whir Of wing
And soundless fall Of dew,
And all the magic summer eve
Is whispering of you!
Scent Of honeysuckle.
And a mist before my eyes
A little wrath of sadness
Subtle. sweet. before me lies.
Sigh of wind and crickets note,
The warm i.islt silence through,
And all my wistful mist OF dreams
Is whispering Of you.
