HALF MILLION
DOLLAR BLAZE
EARLY SUNDAY
Fire in LINCOLN Business Dis
trict Is Supposed to Have
Been Work of Two Pro-
Germans.
From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Sept. 8.-(Special. Fire,
supposed to be of incendiary origin,
and which destroyed about $5O0,0O0
worth of property, broke out in the
Schuck & Yost Lumber company's
yards and rapidly spread to the Hebb
Motor factory and the De Witt Grain
company's buildings early this morn
ing.
The loss of the Schuck & Yost
company is estimated at 100000; the
Hebb Motor company, $4,000, and
the De Witt company, $4,000. 1t is
thought that the loss to the lumber
company is fully covered by insur-
ance, while the other two firms will
be partially covered.
Just before the fire started a mo-
tornan on passing street car saw
an automobile standing near the
lumber yard. Coming back five min
utes later he saw two men jump into
the same car and drive rapidly away.
Mr.. De Witt of the grain company
passed the place where the fire
started five minutes before it was dis
covered. He says he saw no sign of
fire. He lays the fire to pro-German
origin because the Hebb Motor COM
pany was making trucks for war use
and the grain company had in storage
large amount of foodstuff. By set
ting fire to the lumber yard the wind
would drive the fire directly to these
two industries.
The number on the automobile
carrying the two suspects was OBJ
tanned by the police.

ATTORNEY reed
Attorney General Says Public
Calamity Exists anG Rail-
roads Can Use Reason
able Judgment. 8. ~
From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Sept. S.-(Special, )-Ex-
ercise of sound and reasonable judg-
ment in the working of employees on
the railroads of the state should APP
ply during the period of the war and
the same care be taken that is taken
in case of wrecks where the law
which prohibits the employment of
men under 81 years of age from 7
o'clock in the evening to 7 in the
morning does not apply, is the opin-
ion of Attorney General Reed given
in answer to an inquiry by the United
States Railway Administration, Union
Pacific system. The opinion reads;
"In response to your favor Of the
9th instant, in which you cali my
attention to Section 600 of the Re-
vised Statutes of Nebraska for 1918,
which prohibits the employment be-
tween the hours of 7 o'clock in the
evening and 7 O'Clock in the morning,
of any telegraph operator or tower
man, whose duty it shall be to assist
in the movement of trains, unless
such telegraph operator or tower man
shall have reached the age of at least
q years, will say provision is made
that this section shall not apply when
a common carrier is engaged in re-
lieving its track of wreck or some
public calamity.
May Employ Minors.
"You also state that you are en-
countering tremendous difficulty in
securing railroad labor, to operate
trains, and the situatlonshas become
so aggravated that it will result in
impairing the efficiency of railroads
unless some remedy can be had in
the near future.
Have had the same question before
me respecting like conditions which
affected the Burlington railroad, and
I am of the opinion thae the situation
throughout the country is such that
the exception clause applies because
of the present public calamity, which
is synonymous with the world war,
and that during the war your COM
pany would not be violating the law
if it exercises sound and reasonable
judgment in the selection of employees,
irrespective of the provision of the
statute just referred to-"

FOOD PROGRAM
LESS STRINGENT
SAYS WATTLES
Food Administrators Outline
Plan for Year at Washing
ton Meeting Called
BY Hoover.

Americas conservation program in
food will not be so strenuous the
coming year as it has been during
the past, yet it will be much more
general in scope and will accomplish
through economy in the use of all
foods what has heretofore been &C
complished through rigid restrictions.
That message was brought back
yesterday from Washington by Cur
don w. Wattles, federal food admins
traitor for Nebraska, where he at
tended a meeting of state officials,
called by Herbert Hoover.
I'VE had an unusually interesting
meeting" said Wattles. "Hoover's
review of the food conditions in the
allied countries was a gripping recital
of what those people have gone
through and how they have sur
mounted obstacles that you and | can
hardly appreciate. 1t made us realize
what has been done lover there" and
that while conditions have improved,
there remains great deal more.
Must Provide More Food.
America must furnish greater
foodstuHs than in the past for, in ad-
dition to feeding our own army of
100000 or more, we must furnish
the greater portion of the food re-
CURED by the allies.
I'VE must supply this food by gen.
eral economy in the use of all foods.
Specific curtaiments in amounts of
certain foods will be eliminated as far
as possible and instead a widespread
appeal for economy in the use of
foods suggested
The one outstanding feature of
the meeting which impressed itself
upon us was that the whole allied
world is now on the same wheat
basis and that this basis will be
maintained throughout. We are eat
ing the same wheat products and we
are all eating them in the same
amounts.
when you consider that the man
in the trench. those backing him up,
the civilian here and over there and
you and are eating the same wheats,
you can begin to realize and appreci-
ate what a gigantic task it has been
to standardize the wheat rations of
the allied world"
Mr.. Wattles has many interesting
details of his plans for the winters
work in Nebraska. These will be out
lined at the meeting of county food
administrators, which will be held at
Hotel Fontenelle Wednesday.

Schools Arrange Study
Hours to Convenience
OF Wives Of Soldiers

My husband is not yet IS and will
of course have to register for the
army draft. He may have to go. We
have no income save what he earns.
II he should go to war | shall have to
earn my own living. | don't know
anything but housekeeping. I want
to learn to do the work of clerk, SO
l can earn wages"
This is the substance of a state
ment made by an attractive young
married woman who called at the Of
fee of Boyles college Saturday. This
lady is typical of many others who
have called on us lately" said Presi-
dent Boyles. They are of the opinion
that a course in business training is
the shortest cut to paying position
in business office"
How can | tend to my household
duties and keep up my studies?"
asked another lady. We told her that
women so situated would be permit
ted to choose their study hours. At
this she was highly pleased, and said:
My neighbors and | have had a
number of conversations about the
new situation confronting us. Some
of them are quite anxious about it.
Not one of them ever had to earn her
living and none is qualified to do so
when it comes to taking work i'll a
business'office. I shall be glad to tell
them of what Boyles college is pre-
pared to do for married women
whose husbands are likely to go to
war"
From the numerous interviews l
have had with these ladies'" continued
MIR. Boyles, Il gather that a large
number of married women are ear
nestly discussing the situation in
which they have been placed. We
shall, of course. do all we can for
them, and we know that many will
take business training in our classes,
and we can assure them that good po-
sitions await all who may qualify.
