Underwriters
RECOMMEND new
ALARM SYSTEM
National Organization Says
Omaha Fire Signals made
quate and Suitable Only
for Small City.

The committee on fire proven.
ton of the National Board of Fire
Underwriters, in \ report received
this week by city officials, recon-.
mends that a modern fire alarm
system be installed in Omaha. This
same accommodation has been
made by the committee in its re-
ports on Omaha for 4 period Of
years.
An extract from the report reads
Gas reported in 1918, the fire alarm
system is of type suitable only for
small cities and is little used in
sending in alarms; it is so made
quate that it can not be used from
many localities, including Benson
and Florence, which have no fire
alarm boxes; even in the congested
value district there are only about
half as many as are needed. Boxes
are inconspicuous and many have
detached keys, which partly &C
counts for their not being used"
Fire alarm system is very mad
quate and unreliable" is the conclu-
sion.
The report adds that building in
spections by the fire department are
too infrequent to expect effective
results; although the area of the city
has greatly increased, the fire in
spection branch is smaller than in
1913.
Another recommendation reads:
THAT company officers make quar-
terly inspections in all districts, ex-
cept of dwellings, to familiarize
themselves with local conditions
and to secure the removal of unnec-
essary combustibles and other
hazards, making detailed written re-
ports on approved forms"
There are ITO fire alarm boxes in
use, the system being operated by
the telephone company on yearly
contract with the city.
Chief Salter stated that a modern
fire alarm system would cost ap-
proximately 100000, and he ret-
ommends an improved alarm system
for the business district. A legisla-
tive enactment four years ago,
which provided for the motorization
of the fire department, carried with
it a provision for a special levy for
a fire alarm system.

Smith, Sehall & Howell, conducted
the preliminary defense, assisted by
Frank Sheehan of the same firm.
Deputy County Attorney Slabaugh
conducted the prosecution.
Miss Kroupa was very nervous on
the witness stand and at times broke
down and wept.
She said she was going to work
at about 1880 o'clock noon, on
July 7, when she met the negro on
Tenth street.
~ was afraid when I saw him, but
| didn't want to turn and run back
then" she said. lust after he
passed me he threw his arm back
around my neck. l tried to struggle
but he ch6ked me and then dragged
me about l20 feet east into clump
of shumac and threw me on the
ground and tied my hands. Then
he assaulted me.
Pleaded With Him.
II pleaded with him all the time
to let me go, but he wouldn't. After
that he tied my feet and then he
sat down minute and wiped his
face with his handkerchief and
wiped off my face, too"
Miss Kroupa's Identification was
not as positive as that of George
Kyrel, laborer, who lives in that
vicinity and who testified that he
saw the weeds pressed down at a
point along Tenth street while he
was out looking for milkweeds to
feed to his ducks and geese.
$50 I went in a little ways and
there l saw Miss Kroupa standing
with her hands tied and gasping
for BREATH" he said.
He released her and then assisted
her to her home, Ais South Ninth
street.

and Canton streets about II o'clock
that morning" he said. Il am posi-
tive 1T was the same man
Johnson seemed entirely uncon-
cerned with the proceedings and I'M
conscious of the angry glances
thrown at him. He watched the
pretty witness and her pretty sister
closely throughout the testimony.

prompted the giving of this flag is
the same friendly spirit of helpfulness
and cooperation which has been made

due to this splendid cooperation from

consideration. They also wish to ex-
tend thanks to the Pennington papers

WHERE THE SALVATION ARMY
CARRIES ON ITS WORK

The Salvation Army, whose praises
the returning soldiers sing so loudly,
is an organization of much greater
size, and is far more widespread than
the average person imagines. 1t is
almost as diverse in its membership
as are the tongues of the world.
In the ranks of this army, which
works as hard in peace as it does in
war, there are II different nations rep
resented. The organization has what
it calls "outposts" in So countries and
colonies, and breaches in SO languages.
There are close to 5000 different corps
and posts, more than IL 900 social in
stitutions, over 600 day schools and
close upon 1900 officers and cadets.
The number of adherents--as we'll as
the number of those who the army
has helped at one time or another--is
seemingly beyond exact calculation,
for the Salvation Army trains Bible
women, lecturers and others to preach
Christianity and cleanliness to their
fellow-countrymen and sends them out
on the highways Of almost every coun-
try on the face Of the globe.
From the coolest lands to the
warmest. chimes members of the Saliva
ton Army are forever working. In
Indiana they carry on their labors de-
spite the strange native customs and
the completely of Indian character
and languages. And they also carry
on their work even in the most trou-
bled times in Russia.
But widespread as is the work and
diverse as are the peoples the Saliva
ton Army reaches, it is doubtful if
there is any phase of their work out
wardly more picturesque than that
found in Java. Our illustration shows
a parade in Java of Salvation Army
converts marching to win the souls of
their fellow-countrymen.
On the very next street corner they
may take their stand. And the figures
strange to our eyes and the music
strange to our ears will fall on Java
nese eyes and Javanese ears with the
same sort of familiarity that the Sal
walton Army on the street corner
downtown will greet your eyes and
ears.
But it does seem strange to think
of this Javanese band as being a veri-
table Salvation Army band, doesn't it :?

Literally a Widow S Mite.

AS is probably very we'll known
all over the country by this time,
the Methodists of America will con-
duct mammoth financial campaign
in April for $115,0 600, 600 the
Northern Church raising $50. 100000
and the Southern Church S35, 0Q0,-
600. The greatest campaign ex-
perts in the country are heading the
drives, and the whole immense con-
stituency of the denomination is
working as one man to see that the
drives are a success.
Many individuals are planning to
give substantial sums to the mis-
sionary work of their church and
throughout the length and breadth
of Methodism every one is doing his
best. No subscriptions are being
taken at this time, it being nee
cessary rule of the general plan that
all subscriptions must be made
within the limit of the eight-day
drive.
However, there is an exception to
the hardest cut rule always, and the
Centenary treasurer found an ex-
ception to the subscription rule.
This was the way of it:

treasurer received a letter-a letter
