judge, he won the race"
This admission .of defeat was
smilingly given by N. Fisher. one oil
the most good-natured speed
mailiacs who has ever menaced the
lives and limbs OF pedestrians, after
he had listened to a description OF
| a chase that was made after him
by motorcycle cop on Lake street
last night.
As an enthusiastic follower OF
Omaha's most dangerous outdoor
sport, that of speeding in violation
OF the traffic laws, he was a cheer
full loser and paid the SIS fine which
Judge Britt imposed with the la
comic observation: "I'llsnot hand it
to him, but to you, my lad, SIS and
costs"
Emil Rokusek, another man who
tried to exemplify the Eddie Ricken-
hacker record as speed demon on
the streets of Omaha, drew SIS and
costs for his indiscretion.
Earl Fisher and R. L. Hurst drew
$40 fines for exceeding the speed
limit, and Frank Thomas, who ap-
pcared in court little belated, just
after that august tribunal had ad-
journed, found he had forfeited a
SIS bond on the charge of reckless
driving. 2
Lew Goodall, after explaining his
machine was equipped with a gov
ernor which hello his car down to
20 miles an hour, pleaded not guilty
to speeding. His defense satisfied
the court, who ordered him dis
charged.

Fewer Calls for Nurses
Because Of Flu, Says
Visiting Nurses Head

Miss Florence MeCabe, head of
The Visiting Nurse association, says
influenza calls are not nearly so
heavy now as they were in October,
when the epidemic started.
I'VE had about II 900 calls during
October" she said, "and in Novem-
Der we had only 1000. So far this
month the number OF calls per day
has been about the same as in No
vember. 1t may be that the infu-
cnza cases now are among people
who do, not call the visiting nurses.
I know that our calls at present in
the Dundee district are heavier than
4 usual.
I'VE are ready to answer any
call, even from families able to EN-
ploy regular nurses" she said. 1--WE
realize it is hard to get regular
nurses now. Such families should
pay small fee for the visit of the
nurse. The nurse. of course, cam
not remain permanently but will
come and give the nursing care nee
essary."
Visiting nurses at present are
working on regular eight-hour
schedules. During the worst of the
epidemic in October they worked
night and day.

- one of the most interesting
themes in which she has appeared
this season, at the Sun today. She
plays the part Of the daughter of a
white father and Indian mother
and when sthe play opens is dressed
in Indian costume, living with her
father in the mountains. A young
city man is there and realization
of his love for her does not. come
until she comes to him one evening
dressed in low cut party gown
which was part of her wardrobe
when at girls boarding school.
There are moments, when the path
of love does not run at all smoothly
but in the end all ends most happily.
Miss Glaum interprets her part I
a capable manner>and the setting
and photography Of scenes is most
beautiful. The. play is scheduled
for the rest of the week.
Dorothy Gish at the head of her
own company appears in her second
play today and the rest of the week
at the Strand in Battling Jane"
Miss Gish plays the part Of a vag-
abond girl who rides into a small
town while Thrift stamp drive is
in full swing. She gets a job as a
waitress and she is taken into a
home where the husband has mis-
treated and neglected his wife, and
Jane becomes the caretaker of the
little baby When her ward earns
$500 baby contest prize there
are developments as the husband
wants to claim the money In the
end, however, Jane invests it in
Thrift stamps, puts the town
over the top in it's drive and wins
happiness for herself. Miss Gish
proves to be the same enjoyable
actress she has been with Mr.. Crit

cellent Company has produced an
interesting play.
