 That usually settles it. They seem to take it for granted that every Ani- erican in Paris just now must be the close friend and confident of the PreSi dent.
 The American civilian in Paris or about sixty or thereabouts who bears even the remotest resemblance to our President has certain endorsements.
 His joker friends are apt any even- ing, on the crowed boulevardS, where the merrymakers throng, to point him out to group of French poilus ard their girl friends and with q wink say: "There goes President Wilson incog- nito."
 I've seen at least three very dig nified American gentlemen on diff ferent occasions surrounded by pretty girls, doing May-pole dance around them, to end in the dignified gentle men being kissed and kissed and kiss ed.
 Paris's stock of "Vive Las" is ai- most exhausted.
 The taxi driver, the street clean CT, the subway conductor, the police man they all wear from one to three Wilson buttons, while every shop had a big Autograph of the President in the show window.
 The Murat palace, where the PreSl' dent now lives, always has a crowd in front of it, the curious hoping for just a glimpse of the famous visitor.
 Paris has been used to entertain ing kings and queens and empero"S and princes and potentates all it's lifr. but this is the first time for an Amer can President.
 It's great stuff for Paris.

PARIS HAS
 WILSON|T|S
( By C. C. Lyon )

. AMID, Odll' - NDy ldilJ I ii mas WilSonitiS in most virulent form.
 The Spanish "flu" which recently had the town in it's clutches, wasny half so widespread.
 President Wilson just now is the hobby of every Parisian who's ole enough to know what it's all abou,
 They've already dedicated to him the
 Wilson cocktail.
 Wilson highball. Wilson hat.
 Wilson Shoe.
 Wilson avenue.
 Wilson march.
 Everywhere you go restaurant, hotel, theatre, in the street. you hear them discussing "Le President 'VilSon'.
 You drop into a barber shop fcy a shave. The barber's wife lathers your mouth, eyes, nose and ears while Monsieuh Barber is finishing of tho customer in the next chair.
 She begins at once:--
 "I saw Madame Wilson riding in the street today 1 waved to her with my little American flag" She opens q drawer and brings out the American flag and waves it again. It is the same for every American visitor to the Shop.
 Madame Wilson is very pretty. And her gowns. Oh, la la! Le Presi- dent must be very rich? She is very chic. And her clothes are all American mad,? How interesting! l had no idea American modes were so stylish"
 She babbles on until the husband steps over, razor in hand, to start ope 9tions.
 Ia tead of beginning at once to re- min you your hair is falling out and tha: he has just the remedy for it m a biz green bottle of that nice mas. sag would go well with your shave, he says:
 "Tell me, is it true that your Pre'i- der, often slaves himself, and with d safc.y razor?"
 he emphasis he puts on "Safe!y razo~" indicates that such instruments are 70 more popular with French bar ber7 than with American.
 I profess complete ignorance on the .abject.
 European rules never shave them sel. eS," he adds.
 Hn then inquiries as to who is the Pr; ;dent's chief valet during his stay in France, whether it would be diff cul, to get an audience with the valet, etc, ctc.
 'No greater honor could come to me in life than to shave your great Pro ident just once while he is in Par is" he finally confesses. "That", I assured him gravely, "wculd be matter of great state im- por,ance. I'd advise you to take it up witt Ambassador Sharp or Colonel Ho' se."
 He thanks me profusely for the ady cc and I manage to get out of the sho1 without buying that bottle of hal tonic.
 IFS the same in the restaurant.
 70 matter who the Frenchman is who sits next to you or at near by able he. finally draws you into con 'cwation on the one topic that is rrpermost in his mind President Wilson.
 It seems to interest the average Fr.nchman intensely to hear that President Wilson's favorite drink i' pure water. In France they use wat CT cnly for bathing purposes and tc put under bridges. '

WAR REVENUE
BILL ASSUMES
final SHAPE
Senate and House Conferees
Reach Agreement on Mea-
sure to Raise Six Bill
lion This Year.

Washington. Feb. L. The war
revenue bill, revised to raise about
100000 by taxation this year
and $4,000,000,000 annually there
after, assumed final form late today
when the senate and house confer
ence reached complete agreement
on the measure. 1t will be pre-
scented to the house Wednesday.
The conferees already had an
nounced agreements on all tax rate
adjustments, and today was devot-
ed to comparatively minor provi-
sions. Among these was the tax
on campaign contributions, senate
provision, which the house yester-
day voted to reject and then after
ward to accept, if modified to apply
only to future campaigns. The sem
ate conferees, it was reported,
yielded the amendment and agreed
to its elimination.
The conference report and final
redraft will be called up in the

Enforceable Law
Needed to Regulate
Sale Of Cigarets

1--WE need a cigaret law in this
state that will really protect a child
or youth under the age of 10 years"
SAYS ]. B. Carver, supervisor Of
school attendance. "At present we
have a law which prohibits the sale
of cigarets to everybody and any
body in Nebraska. This law has
been proved impracticable and TN
enforceable. My idea is the result of
long experience with juveniles
while attendance officer for six
years and probation officer for 10
years. This law will take in all
school boys DIP until after they have
passed the high school. The prin-
cibal harm from cigarets comes to
those who use them when they are
under this age. Such a law passed
can be enforced and / think would
be enforced, because it will have
back Of it endorsement of public
sentiment which the present law has
not. / am sure our present police
commissioners and juvenile officers
and all who are interested will do
their best to enforce a law against
any dealer who sells or gives away
cigarets or tobacco to any child
under l6 years of age.

MEN INJURED in
WRECK ABLE TO
LEAVE HOSPITAL
Body Of Lieutenant SALISBURY,
Killed in Accident on
Dodge Road, Taken
to ST. Louis.

The body of 1t. Donald c. Spals-
bury of st. Louis. Mo-, chief of the
Fort Omaha military police, who
was killed in an automobile smash
up on the West Dodge road shortly
before o'clock Saturday morning,
was sent to his home in st. Louis.
Lieutenants Stewart r. Kirkpat-
rick and Frank T. Davis. who were
reported seriously injured, were able
to leave the post hospital last
night.
Two In Hospital.
1t. George D. Kingsland and Pvt
Floyd A. Huntington, chauffeur for
the party that was in the wreck, are
still under the care of surgeons.
Lieutenant Kingsland suffered
severe contusions of the head, as a
result Of being thrown bodily from
the overturned car.
Private Huntington is suffering
from internal injuries. After doing
his utmost to swerve the car to
avoid colliding with another auto
mobile, he was hurled from his po-
sition when the speeding car made
the abrupt stop. His gloves,
smeared with blood, were found 80
feet from the wrecked car. Private
Huntington is an Omaha boy.
Well Known Here.
Lieutenant SALISBURY, who was
killed, was a well-known figure in
Omaha, due to his connection with
the military police. He was COM
nissioned early last year from
camp in Texas and came to Fort
Omaha in June, 1918.
In the finding of bunch of fine
hair, similar to a woman's, beneath
the rear seat of the overturned car,
il was thought that several women
were in the party. Army officials
at Fort Omaha declare the officers
were on duty looking for bootleg
gers coming into Omaha, thus ex-
GENERATING them from the SUPPOSE
ton that there were any women in
the car.
The roadway from the top of
the hill for a mile and half is a
veritable death trap. 1t winds its
devious way down steep grades,
hairpin turns, flanked on either side
by steep banks and deep arroyos.
Smooth as Boulevard.
And the surface is as smooth as a
boulevard drive and, when care-free
recklessness sits at the wheel, with
daredevil adventure calling for
more speed. there is invitation TO
tragedy over every foot of the way.
A visit to the scene a few hours
after the accident revealed the fact
that the car occupied by the army
men must have been travelling at
immense speed. From the top of
the hill, where the curve begins, to
the place where the automobile
turned turtle, there is at least 40
per cent grade. At the apex of the
arc described by the curve the driver
of the car must have realized his
danger and applied the brakes, for
at this point the marks Of the
wheels in the hard surface of the
road shows a sliding skid
for distance Of 20 yards
to the point where the machine
came to an abrupt stop, facing west
across the road and then turned
over. The force of the !. impact
shattered the spokes of the wheels
to splinters of wood, the steering
wheel TO sheds of hickory and the
glass Of the windshield to small frag-
ments,
