Lincoln, Nov. 4.-(Special. 1.-The
attempt of the War department to
shelve responsibility on the Nebras-
ka state university for the damage
to a dozen government trucks which
have been left exposed to the
weather for some time near the
state fair grounds In Lincoln has
been entirely exploded by records in
Chancellor Avery's Office.
These records show that time
after time the War department has
had its attention called to the
trucks, not only by the chancellor
himself but by Colonel Morrison,
representative of the War depart
ment at the university in charge of
war property left there and no no.
tice taken of the communications.
Fhe records also show that the uni
versity authorities have become
tired Of waiting for authority from
the War department and have taken
charge of the trucks, placing them
under cover.
The first time was when the
trucks were first abandoned and the
chancellor ordered them placed in
a building at the state farm. When
the building was torn down the de-
partmcnt was notified that there
was no place for the trucks, but no
notice was taken of the communi-
cation, and after waiting an exas-
perating long time, the chancellor
had the trucks placed in building
at the fair grounds after taking the
matter up with Secretary Danie1son
of the state fair board. Just prior
to the fair the War department. was
again notified that the buildings
would have to be used for the fair,
and when no reply came to the conf
nunication, the fair board set the
trucks out in the field near
the grounds where they have
remained, despite notices sent
to the War department that
they were there and liable to
damage. ...
Barrows Starts Something.
1t was not until after Lieutenant
Governor BarroWs, then acting gov
ernor, early in October. discovered
the condition of the trucks and
notified Congressman Reavis, who
called into the congressional investi-
CATION representatives of the War
department. motor corps, and told
them of the matter that they told
Congressman Reavs that the trucks
were in charge of the Nebraska uni
versity; that the department knew
nothing about them and that the
university regents would be held
responsible for their condition.
Publication of the story in news
papers was the first notice that
Chancellor Avery had of the loca-
ton of the trucks and he promptly
took the matter up with Colonel
Morrison, who stated that because
of the "red tape" of the War de-

turkeys for Thanksgiving Day this
year. Not only are they going to pay
higher prices for the fowl than in
previous years, but they are going to
have rather a hard time in finding
enough turkeys to go around, accord
ig to indications yesterday.
All this, of course, on the SUPPOSE
ton that the supply of turkeys will not
show big increase just before
Thanksgiving, which is entirely pos
sible. According to local poultry deal
ers, however, the supply will not be
great. and prices will be higher than
in years past.
In fact, to guard against any short
age OF fowl for Thanksgiving, many
poultry markets are arranging for
geese to offer their customers. Even
if there are turkeys enough to go
around, dealers expect to have many
inquiries for geese. for the waterfowl
will be substituted for turkey by many
persons in Thanksgiving day menus.

WILL KILL $4,000
CHILDREN WITHOUT
STRICT AUTO RULES

Unless sufficient precautions are
taken $4,000 school children will be
killed by automobiles and motor
trucks during the year 1920.
This estimate was based on statis-
tics compiled by the national safety
council, the prediction being made as
warning and as propaganda to re-
duce the number of motor vehicle ac-
cidents.
As a part Of its nation wide cam
paign the council proposes opening
safety schools for chauffeurs in
various cities throughout the country
while other cities Of their own accord
will endeavor to rigid1y enforce the
motor vehicle laws. The latter policy
has been adopted in Phoenix
Last year more than 10000 children
were killed accidentally, the greater
number of these deaths resulting
from automobile and motor truck ac-
cidents.
Assuming that the casualty list
will increase in direct proportion with
the increase in the number of motor
vehicles in use, it is the opinion of
officers of the council that the stu
ton is now one of the most serious
problems before the country.
The first of the safety schools"
has just been opened at ST. Louis and
plans are afoot for their establish
ment at Los Angeles, Cleveland,
Rochester, Ptitsburg and Kansas City.
No charge for tuition is made, the en-
tire expense of the schools being
borne by the national and local
councils.
Among the men who are delivering
lectures to the chauffeurs' safety
conferences at St. Louis are the di-
rector of street, the city corner, an
expert on automobile manufacture,
and the city's largest teaming oper-
ator.
