Robert Patrick, prominent race
horse fan, had a big thrill when both
he and Omaha were in their infancie, J.
Patrick was calmly jogging along
homeward one cool spring evening
when a roadside sniper took shot at
him. Patrick claims that he hung up
a record on the dash home which
will never be equaled.
A big dog with an ugly disposition
caused several thrills and chills to run
down his back several years later
when said dog decided that piece of
Patricks leg would be good eating.
Patrick claims he cleared a 10-foot
fence in his jump to safety.

since he has been on the force, Demp-
sey said:
"Oh, they are too many to remem-
ber."
But his first days on the force were
marked by happenings stirring enough
for new officer.
"My first beat ran between Farnam
and Harney streets and Tenth and
Sixteenth streets. The first man ar
rested on my first night on the force
had been engaged in shooting
scrape. The next night arrested a
man who was armed with revolver,
a pair of brass knuckles and dirk.
Then I chased a man from Eleventh
and Harvey streets to the Burlington
roundhouse at Gibson. The man
who was armed with the knuckles |
picked up in front of the building
which is now the city Jail. 1t was one
of the city's finest school houses then.
1t isn't even considered good enough
for jail now."
Chief Dempsey has always been in
the best Of health SINCE he came to
Omaha, he says.
"They just about took the sap out
of me in the mines, but I'll be 81 July
80 next, "he says, "and guess I'm
good for long time yet. Lots of the
men who wereNon the force when |
joined are gone now. John Savage
and I worked together at the Union
Pacific freight house. There we trav-
eled together as detectives for nine
years. He died six years ago as
chief of detectives"
Five of the seven boys in the
Dempsey family are still living. Cap
tain Patrick F. Demspey is in the fire
department~and is stationed at the
Lake street barn. Stephen Dempsey
is in the employ of the Burgess-Nash
company. One brother is in Colorado
and the Oldest brother is still in PENN
sylyania. Chief of Police Dempsey
is the second of the brothers.
Dempsey joined the police force
October p, 1885. In February, 1888,
he was made detective, and in 1901
he was made sergeant. He was ap-
pointed a captain in 1910, and assist
ant chief of police in August, 1917.
Last April he succeeded Henry Dunn
as. chief of police.

Turns Big Deal

When c. c, George had been an en-
ploye of Potter & Cobb, real estate
dealers, only a few months he felt the
thrill that comes once in a lifetime.
He sold lot on the northwest corner
Of Sixteenth and Farnam streets for
$4,000 and did it all by himself al
though he was only youngster.
Both Mr.. Potter and Mr.. Cobb were
out Of the city when a stranger walked
into the Office one day. Mr.. George
was there. The stranger stated that he
was from Philadelphia and that Oma-
ha looked like a town with future.
Mr. George told him that Omaha's
future was like the future OF Rome
when Romulus and Remus were being
nurscd by the wolf. He told him the
surest way on earth to make money
was to buy Omaha real estate.
"a The stranger seemed interested and
young George thought he might per-
haps sell him some inexpensive lots.
! He began telling him of some good
investments.
Got anything down In the business
district, brotherY asked the stranger.
Yes, here's i lot right on the main
corner that's bargain at $4,000"
said C. G. George, half III a joke be-
cause it was such a big deal
The Philadclphian was interested.
Young George took him over and
showed II to him. The stranger looked
ID, II down the street
q believe you're right. young man.
This is good investment. I'll take
II.
And the young rcaitsr got the thrill
then and there that has never been
cQisallcd though he has turned many d
bigger deal since then.

Plans Work for
College Girls
During Vacation

Possible lines Of war service. tor
college girls during the long sum-
mer vacation are suggested by the
womans committee of the State
Council OF Defense.
Each girl should decide in what
branch OF work she has the most
ability. The home demonstration
agent needs girls who have had train
ing in home economics, public speak
ing, English and journalism. They
need, also, girls who have ability to
organize or arrange things attract
lively for exhibits and fairs.
ITO those who have nothing def
mite in mind | suggest that they hunt
up the home demonstration office,
usually found in the farm bureau, if
they live in a rural community, or to
find the urban agent, If they live in
city. Should there be no urban
agent in her town, girl should look
up the woman WHO represents the
food administration. In almost every
county of every state home demon
stration agents are overworked and
need help badly.
"1f in college girl has shown any
ability in research, she can help great
ly in standardizing recipes which are
sent in by housekeepers and in asst
ing the agent in preparations for DEM
onstrations. No good agent ever
goes out to give demonstration
without first having made careful
preparations.
IF girl has any ability to write,
there is tremendous field for her to
help with the publicity work in the
country. If girl is good public
speaker, she can be OF invaluable as
sistance. Speakers are needed who
can combine inspiration with facts.
on foods and diets. Here the college
girl trained in home economics has
an advantage over her associates
trained along other lines. For in
stance, il is important that the house.
wife realize the danger Of cutting
down the consumption of milk for her
children, and that she be informed as
to what substitutes for foods not
plentiful she can safely use and pre-
serve the health of her family. If a
girl has artistic ability and originality,
she can be of assistance in arranging
exhibits. The preparation of exhibits
takes a great deal of time, but be-
cause Of the value as means of
teaching the conservation of food it
is an important part of the work.
"The girl who held offices at col
lege is usually good organizer. The
ability to organize can be utilized in
completing committees for food con-
servation. This community commit
tee is the last link in the chain be-
tween the housekeeper and the federal
food organization for conservation.
II the college girl has the asset of
being good mixer, the value of any
otller qualities is greatly enhanced"

| "Came across in the dummy shot
back Chief of Police Michael r,
Dempsey to the query, "How did you
happen to come to Omaha!'
Guess that was before your time,
my boy" chuckled the chief.
"It was in December, 1877. that ]
left the farm where I was working
near Walnut, Ia, and made trip
to Omaha" continued the chief REM
iniscently. "The Union Pacific
train used to make trips about every
hour those days from the Union

tion at Seventh and Marcy streets.

had made its home in County Galway
for generations, Michael F. Demp-
sey was born near Pittston. Pa, July
80, 1857
"Yes, I went to work in the coal
mines when / was 8 years DID," said
the chief. "My father was killed in
the mines and all of us seven boys
went to work. I used to pick the
slate out of the anthracite as the
coal came down the chutes. But
II years of that and tending doors
and driving mules in the mines gave
me the pleurisy and came west
for my health to some relatives in
Iowa in 1877"
His first visit to the future Gate
City of the West" prepossessed the
stocky Irish-American lad in favor
OF Omaha, for within a few, months
after his first visit he made another
trip across the old Union Pacific
bridge on the dummy" and settled
here for good. The year on the farm
had cured him of pleurisy and he was
again ready for hard work.
Various jobs in the smelter. in
Dewey & Stones old warehouse and
in the Union Pacific freight house
occupied the years until October p,
1885, when the future chief joined the
police force.
Il wanted the job as patrol driver
he said, "and Mayor Jim Boyd prom
ised to give me the job. He had the
appointment all ready in his pocket,
but some politician got to him before
he reached the old city hall at Six
teenth and. Farnam that morning and

Dempsey's life has been full of ex-
citing incidents. In the mines as a
boy he had several narrow escapes
from death. Once he just escaped
being crushed when the roof of his
section of the mine caved in.

powder failed to go off. | went up to
