NEBRASKA UNI.
AND NOTRE DAME
PLAY TIE CAME
Cornhuskers and South Bend
Team Unable to Score on
Field Covered With
Mud and SIuSh.

Lincoln, Neb,, Nov. 2s.-(Specia
Telegram. THE smallest Turke,
day crowd in the history of Corn
husker athletics saw Nebraska
and Notre Dame fight to a 0 to
draw on Nebraska field this after
noon in game married by the soft
field, which was covered with two
inches of snow.
There were less than 1000 people
in the stands. but the holiday spirit
was present and roofing spirited
The condition of the field forced
both sides to resort to punting prac.
tically during the entire game, with
honors divided about equal between
Dobson and Gipp, the Notre Dame
kicker. Nebraska failed to make a
first down. Notre Dame made Il
and had all of the edge when it
came to advancing the ball. Three
tunes the visitors were halted in
side of the 20-yard line for lack OF
the punch to put the pisskin across.
Touchdown Disallowed.
The South Bend warriors scored
one touchdown on a fashy 40-yard
sprint around the end by Barry, but
the play was disallowed and the
ball called back because a Notre
Dame player in the interference
grabbed hold of a teammates belt.
The visitors drew a 15-yard penalty
on the play. Penalties came thick
and fast during the entire game,
both teams suffering equally.
The first quarter was all Notre
Dame. The visitors rushed the ball
down the field after an exchange of
punts on end runs by Gipp and the
speedy little Barry to the Husker
ll-yard line, where Lantz inter
cepted a forward pass. Nebraska
kicked, but the Catholics again
rushed the ball to the Husker
23-yard line, where Howarth inter
cepted forward pass.
Cornhuskers Pick Up.
In the second period Nebraska
flashed her strongest play. The
Huskers drove the ball into Notre
Dame territory when Dobson out
kicked Gipp and twice rushed it to
the Notre Dame l5-yard line, but
were halted there. Dobson shot
forward pass over the goal line,
which was incomplete and Notre
Dame put the ball into play on its
own 20-yard lire.
The third period was limited en-
tirely to a kicking duel, Nebraska
making no attempt to carry the ball,
and Notre Dame compiling only
one gain of II yards on forward
pass to Kirk from Gipp.
Notre Dame Near Victory.
Ir the final quarter Notre Dame
again carried the fight to the
shadow of the Nebraska goal. lGipp,
Barry and Lameau smashed
through the Husker line and started
the ends for substantial gains,
carrying the bali to the Nebraska
15-yard line, where the Huskers re-
covered it.
The Huskers kicked to safety and
time was called.
Dana, the Husker right guard,
had his arm broken at the start of
the game while going down on the
kickoff. Captain Bahan was also
forced to retire because of an in
jured knee.

JUSTICE HAMER
DIED IN HARNESS,
AS He WOULD Wish
Archives of State Bear Many a
Testimonial to His Judgment,
Fearlessness and Ale
glance to Duty.
By P. A. BARROWS.

Lincoln, Aug. ll.-(Special. HE
died in the harness, just as no doubt
he would have preferred to die could
he have selected the method of lis
going.
Although not unxpected, the death
OF Judge Francis G. Hamer at the
home of his son in Kearney yesterday
has come to his large circle of friends
as a shock. 1t seems but yesterday
that his merry good morning was
heard about the state house, where ior
years he has been a familiar figure,
Just as his name has become almost a
household word throughout the state.
Although his health has not been
good for some time, yet he has most
of the time been at his post as MEM
Der of the state supreme court and
had carried on the work assigned to
him in his usual manner. Always
courteous, he has made hosts OF
friends and he will be sadly missed
among those who were wont to meet
him every day. :,
To have Judge Hamer as : friend,
was to have a true friend. He never
forgot his friends and his hearty
handshake was testimonial OF his
inmost feeling. His enemies, if he
had them (and what public man is
without this testimonial off his hon
esty and integrity?) will have to honor
his memory, His place on the su-
preme bench will have to, be tllled by
the voters of the state, but no man
will ever be able to fill his place in
the hearts of the people whom he
served for more than half a century.
He has gone to his reward, but
the archives of the state bear many a
testimonial Of his good judgment, his
fearIessness and his answering al
legiance to duty, and what better or
more lasting monument could pub
lie man leave behind him as COM
panion piece to the love the people
bore him?

Burgess Is CompIimented
For Thrift Stamp Drive

The following is quoted from pub
lication just issued by the National
War Savings committee of the Treas
ury department at Washington:
Ward NJ. Burgess, state director
for Nebraska, is receiving congrat-
ulations upon the splendid accomplish
ment of himself and associates in hav-
ing already sold War Savings stamps,
totaling in maturity value more than
SO, ,98S 900. as compared with a quota
of $25,920,000 for the entire year Of
1918. In addition to this, the Nebras-
ka committee still has on hand un-
redeemed pledges totaling approxi-
mately 100000 (maturity value).
Perhaps the one outstanding feature
of this splendidly successful campaign
in Nebraska is the committees esti-
mate that War Savings and Thrift
stamps are owned by approximately
100000 Nebraskans, this representing
over us per cent Of the entire states
population.

the French troops entered Montdidier
at 1890 o'clock Saturday afternoon
the Germans had not yet completely
evacuated the town, clinging to the
outskirts of the place with the help
of machine guns, some of which were
being served by the officers of the
detachments, all the men having been
killed or wounded.
The French troops are pursuing
their success and have now pro-
gressed far east of Montdidier, gath
ering up along the route thousands
of prisoners, together with enemy
cannon and machine guns. Harassed
by the French cavalry, which had
pushed far ahead, the Germans were
thrown into great disorder as they
sought to fall back. In the wake
of the cavalry came armored cars
with automatic guns which scattered
terror and destruction among the re-
treating foe. The enemy was en-
gagged in a desperate effort along the
roads to the rear. crowded with
MASSES of men and material seeking
to disengage himself from the French

Mrs. Burbank Had Been Going
Down Hill Four Years.
Praises TanIaC.

One of the most noteworthy tea
lures, and one that stands out more
prominently than any other perhaps,
in connection with Tanlac is the very
large number of men and women who
have reported an astonishing rapid
increase in weight as a result of its
use.
One of the latest to testify to the
remarkable reconstructive powers of
the medicine is Mrs. Anna Burbank,
who resides at 1882 Second Ave,
West, Seattle, Wash, Mrs. Burbank
came in the Bartelr Drug store in
company with her husband recently
and made the following statement,
stating that she had actually gained
thirty-tWo pounds.

| in describing her case, that | had
any special ailment, but for the last
-four years | have been gradually los
| ing weight and strength, and going
down hill. My appetite was so poor,
that ! never cared for anything to
eat. I was dreadfully constipated,
and suffered great deal with head
aches and pains in my back. I was
completely rundown and tired out all
the time, and hardly had energy
enough to drag myself around. Moth
ing did me any good, and | fell off
in weight until l was hardly more
than a frame
When I began taking Tanlac, I
weighed only ninety-hve pounds. !
had been reading so much about how
others had been benefited, and were
gaining in weight by taking Tanlac,
that | made up my mind to see what
it would do for me and the results
have been far more than ever ex-
pected. l now weigh one hundred
and twenty-seven pouhds-having
actually gained thirty-two pounds in
little more than a month-and am
still gaining. | am always ready for
my meals now with a fine appetite,
and have gotten rid OF all the head
aches and pains in my back, and my
tired, wornout feelings are gone, too.

Indian Names for New Ships
Are Harder Than French

The Nation of New York quotes
with obvious CONSERVATION some OF
the Indian words bestowed as names
for the newly launched ships, such as
Skunkscut, Schicksbinny, Tobesofka
Shivwiny, Shoccoree, Sisladobsis, Sue
casunna, Onteora, Unalaska, Umatilla,
Schoharie, Taycheedah, Suspecough,
Awensdaw, Sounenuk and Taghka-
nick. Perhaps the same genius who
selects the strange and unpronounce-
able names of the American Pullman
cars has had a hand in the present
nomenclature. But what has become
OF the time-honored names of Aurora,
Sea Witch, Pride of the Seas, Silver
Spray, Lassie, White Cap, Swallow
and those other numerous words
which used to express something OF
the quality OF the vessels and the sail
os.' pride in them?

Carrier Pigeons Stand Up
to the Test of World War

The carrier pigeon has stood the
test Of the world war. Numerous in
stances prove its worth as a bearer
of messages in desperate situations
where no other means are practicable,
the pigeon frequently going through
what no man can face.
"The training of pigeons usually be-
gins at eight weeks" says w. F. Dis
mer of Washington, D. C., breeder
and trainer of racing pigeons. Like
athletes they must be trained grad
ually. The young birds are first TAX
en- mile from the home loft and re-
leased to find their way back. This
distance is slowly increased to 5, TO-
Is, 100 and finally to 1900 or 1900
miles. But it is only the exceptional
pigeon that is reliable after 600
miles," stated Mr.. Dismer. They
are, of course, started off unfed. and
their instinct carries them back to the
place they were fed last. 1t is found
that pigeons with young make the
best speed.
"The average speed of a racing
pigeon is 500 miles iE IA hours
though it cannot do this against the
wind. The, fatest known speed is 9C
miles an hour, but this was with a
strong favoring wind. Pigeons dc
rot take their course as the crow
flies as the expression is; they adapt ii
to the wind. Distances in races, how
ever, are measured in a straight line
between two points whose latitude
and longitude are known.
Fifty per cent of the pigeons diet
is made up of Canadian peas and the
rest of corn. The ideal food for rae
ers is tick beans and vetches. but few
tick beans are being fed them now
since these must be imported.
"The life of racing pigeon is moi
long; good one may be used for hive
years, but this is exceptional. Sixty
FIVE per cent of the racing teams are
yearlings, and 20 per cent are 2-year'
-olds."

CALL FOR STENOS
TO WASHINGTON
Boyles Says Good Pay Awaits
Women Who Want to
Enlist in War
Work.

81 have heard a large number of
women say, If were man | would
enlist without a moments delay and
l am sure they were sincere in their
intentions. The opportunity is now
presented in the form of civil service
at Washington and l believe a good
ly y\number of women will respond
post haste" said H. B. Boyles.
The appeal CONS direct to women
stenographers in Omaha brought
here personally by Capt. w, r. Rob
inson of the quartermaster corps,
Washington, D. C., who called upon
me and urged upon ME the impor-
tance of expending every effort pos
sfble to recruit helpers for his de-
partment. These stenographers have
the choice of working in Washington
at SIPS month or of entering serv-
ice here in Omaha at $l,l00 to 81 200
a year and later transferring to the
capital city at the higher salary.
Chance for Women.
"I have all the facts here on my
desk and will gladly repeat them to
women who are interested in this
proposition of doing patriotic service
of character that is second only in
importance to actual fighting. There
is nothing but encouragement to offer
these women, working conditions are
pleasant, to live in Washington is a
real privilege and the opportunity to
travel is certainly attractive. The
pay is better than that received by
the ordinary stenographer, and Cap.
tain Robinson has told me that the
cost of living is really no higher in
Washington than it is in any large
city.
Experienced stenographers are
preferred, those who have had the
necessary PRELIMINARY commercial edu-
cation topped off with actual office
experience are the ones that are most
wanted although new graduates from
our institution are receiving appoint
ments regularly in the various depart
ments at Washington. This is truly
the chance ambitious aud patriotic
women have looked forward to, and
the response is certain to be unani-

Take Your Shower on Slant
in Preference to Straiqht

That the oblique shower, at an an
gle of IS degrees, is far preferable to
the vertical overhead shower, is urged
by DR.. Simon Baruch in the Journal
of the American Medical Association.
The vertical shower is well enough
for simple cleansing. but an equally, il
not more important feature of the
shower is the refreshment and invig-
oration produced by the forcible inn
pact of the water on the skin nerves
and muscular structures. The pres
sure of the water is lost on the hairy
scalp, from which it trickles over the
body, while the oblique shower strikes
the chest, back and sides and stimu-
lates the body generally.
