YIN. c. A. WORKER
DENIES CHARGES
OF ExTORTION
Harry Trimble Swears, So
Far as He Knows, 0rgani-
zation 0verCharged No
Man in Trenches.

Il swear that as far as I know
the Y. M. {. A. overcharged no
man." said Harry Trimble, returned
Y. NJ. c. A. worker, in refuting
charges of extortion in the organi-
cation at the First Christian church
last evening "The men in the front
line trenches were charged abso-
lutely nothing for the things the
~ distributed to Them" he con-
tinued,
This passionate defense of the Y.
M. c. A. by Mr.. Trimble was evok-
ed by the statement of one of the
men in the audience that his son had
been charged SASS for a meal by
the association.
Mr.. Trimble told of the enormous
difficulties confronting the Y. NJ. C..
A. in its attempt to aid the Amer
lean soldiers. The lack of an eff
cient organization and of capable
men at the outbreak of the war was
the biggest handicap, according to
Mr.. Trimble. In addition to being
physically fit each man had to be
trained for some time at the Column
bia university. The course of train
ing for the "Y" worker was just as
vigorous as that of the soldier.
"Even them" said Mr.. Trimble,
"35 per cent Of the men sent over
seas BY the organization were re-
jected for duty at the front line
trenches nv the authorities at
Paris"
Describes Huts.
Mr.. Trimble pictured a Y. M. c.
A. hut close to the front line
trenches. 1t was generally built
among the ruins of some old French
chateau. The cellar would be made
habitable and a roof placed over it.
Here the men temporarily released
from duty at the front line trenches
would congregate. Some of them
would eat, others sleep, still others
talked or wrote home. The MILF
tary authorities would not allow
the men to come together in groups
near the front line trenches.
He told of the associations diff
ficulty in obtaining a sufficient
amount OF supplies.
1.-THE tonnage which the govern
nent gave US was not sufficient. as
the number of men in France in
creased, and we were forced to buy
many things in France at the pre-
vailing high prices" he said.
Zone of the most inspiring sights
that it has ever been my privilege
to witness was the old gray-faired
mothers of the Salvation army pass
Ing out doughnuts to the boys under
Ahell fire." concluded Mr.. Trimble.

Theater Patrons join
in Protest Against
Proposed Tax Raise

Omaha theater managers are &C
lively participating in the campaign
Of protest against the increased tax
on theater tickets. For the last
three days petitions have been
passed among the audiences ASSEM-
BLEED at the downtown houses, 90
per cent Of which are said to be
signed, asking that the tax be made
no higher than 1t is at present
The present rate is 10 per cent
the proposed rate is 20 per cent.
The national association has pro-
tested at Washington, and has been
referred to Chairman Kitchin OF the
house ways and means committee,
who remains obdurate in his po-
sition.
Theater managers point out that
the tax will defeat itself by so re-
ducing attendance that many will
have to close. Under the proposed
law the prewar price Of tirst-class
show jumps from 81 to $40, or 20
cents more than is now paid. Lower
priced tickets are proportionately
advanced down to tickets costing SO
cents or under, on which the 10 per
cent tax is retained.
The issue is assuming large pro-
portions At Washington where con-
gressmen are receiving thousands of
messages Of protest from thester
patrons.

New Way Of Adding to In
comes; Omaha Men
Investigate.

John T. Cox, cashier Of the bank
at Howe, and Sam Hughes, a farmer
living between Humboldt and Au-
burn, Neb.. are adding pretty pen
ny to their incomes BY finding and
marketing native gem stones. Their
success has been so great that
school boys in their part of the
country have gone into the business
on their own hook.
Fine specimens Of yellow topaz.
tourmaline, cairngorms, blood
stone quartz and the peculiar red
topaz known as Brazilian ruby are
found in abundance in certain dis
tricts in the southwestern part Of
the state. The stones, according to
scientists, were deposited there by
glacial drift in a prehistoric age
The original home Of the stone is
supposed to have been in the ranges
Of the Rocky mountains far to the
northwest.
Found After Rains.
Mr., Cox and Mr.. Hughes search
in the fields plowed BY the farmers
on gfavelly hill sides and in road
side gulleys and. washes after hard
rains, and have gathered large guam
titles of the various kinds of stones.
There is market for the uncut
stones but they have found that
they can make more money BY fav-
ing the stones cut and mounted in
rings and other forms Of iewelry BY
local lapidaries and jewelers.. These
jewelry pieces they have sold at a
handsome profit among the young
men and women Of neighboring
towns and now find the demand SO
brisk they have been unable to meet
It.
The success OF these men has
attracted the attention of Omaha
business men to the possibilities Of
mining semi~precious stones in Ne
braska and turning them into jewell
~. As a result Of investigation.
large beds Of yellow rock crystal
have been discovered near Louisville
in the gravel along the Platte river.
When cut and mounted these crys-
tails are Of better gem quality than
rhinestones Of The cheaper sort Of

DR.. Lowe TALKS
TOGRADUATESOF
CENTRAL HIGH
Necessary That Young Stu
dents Going Out Into World
Be Sound Of Mind
and Body.

Every man and woman worth
his or her salt is fighter" declared
the Rev. Titus Lowe in delivering
the baccalaureate sermon to the.
mid-winter graduates of the Central
High school, at the First Methodist
church Sunday morning.
The subject chosen by Rev. Mr..
Lowe was Life At Its Best" and
he used as text the Goth verse of
the 9th chapter Of Paul's letter to
the Corinthians, SO fight !, not as
one that beateth the air" He ex-
tolled the life of Paul, which he
characterized as "a pursuit, a race,
a battle, as exemplifying the char
acter necessary in the young stu
dents whom he was addressing as
they step from the school room into
the active things of the world.
You are being graduated" he
said, when the world is seething
with more unrest than any class
that ever graduated from the
Omaha High school. There was not
as much unrest in 1914, after the
outbreak Of the world war, as there
IS today The whole world is seeth
ing with unrest"
Refers to Labor Conditions.
He referred to present day con-
Gitions in Russia, Germany, Austria
as we'll as France, Great Britain
and the United States referring par
ticularly to the labor convention
in Chicago a few days ago at
which men Kissed the American flag.
Something is wrong right here in
America today. There was never
a day when unrest and confusion
! was more marked" he added.
He said there had never been
time when it was more necessary
that young students going out into
the world should be sound Of body
snd with sound, responsive and ac-
tive minds.
"The plea for happiness, is the
plea of a weakl;ngp said Reverend
Lowe, ut is not the main thing in
your life, and / want to serve notice
on you, If any of you set out to OBJ
tain happiness as the sole object of
you Rife, you will not get it. The
acquisition OF gold is not the high
est motive. It is a gift from God
end helps make life worth while, but
it is a gift that may be abused.
The fighter has motive, and the
acquisition of wealth, personal hap
your life, you viii not get 1t. The
piness, personal interests and even
saving ones own life IS not the true
motive, but the master motive may
be said TO be to make sincere, even
If modest contribution to the work,
