STANLEY WORKS DID
 ITS PART IN WAR
For One Thing, Made 9,OOO,OOO
 Valves for Gas Masks

The Stanley Works put the major part of it's production into war work shortly after the war started and was probably one of the pioneers among the manufacturers. The company did not have to look for contracts the government looking to it to take care of their wants in the hasp and hinge lines, realizing that the Stanley Works was far better qualified for this kind of work than practically any other manufacturer. No job was too big or none to small to be taken care of, everything being asked for by the government being given the same in dividual attention.
 It may be surprising to know that in 1918 the Stanley Works used over 60,00O,000 pounds of cold rolled strip steel in the manufacture of hinges hasps, guards and countless other items. This represents 30,OOO tons or the weight of one of the largest of the ocean greyhounds. Every pound of the steel used in the contracts was produced right in the mills here. The crude pig iron was smelted down through the different processes, hay ing the finishing touches applied at the rolling mills.
 SpfS NOftddNI~
 One of the most surprising things concerning the work done at the To- cal plant was that the Stanley Works produced as much on it's valve guard contract as any other five concerns accomplished in tke same length of time. This was made possible by the men who were working on the job who constantly found new devices and ingenious methods of eXpediting production. One man would find a new kinl1 that made it possible for him to do 8 certain thing just a little quicker than the next man. The spir- it of rivalry and competition brought out innumerable short cuts in pro- duction which made it possible for the company to outsIrip any ether con- cern in the country doing the same kind of work. All during the period of the greatest rush there were three shifts of eight hours each, kept up for months, thereby keeping production constant.
 There were seven contracts of par ticular importance which will be eX- plaired in the following paragra phs. Over 9,000,000 f7utter valve guards for the gas mask were manufactured by the concern during the period of the war This gives an idea of the num- Der of gas masks used during the reriod of the war as only one valve is during the war as only one valve was used to a mask. These flutter valves regulate the air supply within the

"Seen,s StrQnqe"

There has been no more ardent partisan of
the president in Great Britain than the Man
chester Guardian.
In discussing the controversy in the senate
over the peace treaty, the Guardian says that
the president was" naturally questioned very
closely on the Shantung agreement. He made
very serious attempt to modify it, but yield
ed in this as in other matters to the necessities
of unanimous agreement.
Neither he nor Mr.. Lansing, the Guardian
agrees, had any knowledge of the secret treaties
with reference to Shantung when the United
States entered the war. or later when the presi-
dent formulated the Ia points. And then the
Guardian remarks: "What must continue to
seem strange to his most friendly critics is that
he did not make fuller use of his position Both
morally and materially the position of the
United States was strong-one might almost
say. dominant. 1t was upon him to say that
he had gone into the war on a distinct under
standing which the secret treaty-kept in secret
from him-violated. In this and in other mat
ters he had no doubt to make the difficult
choice between acceptance of some very bad
points or possible breakup of the conference
But were the other allies in position to push
matters to- the breaking point? What we hope
is that the price of all these concessions
the league of nations-wi be safe And this
depends principally on the United States itself
But if it does sign, we may expect some pretty
definite interpretations of the Shantung clause
to accompany the signatures"
This is interesting and worth while evil
dence in support of the belief. expressed by
Mr. Lansing, that the president could have
averted the Shantung injustice if he had made
reasonable effort to do So 1t is also an
indication that if, as the Guardian says, 1--WE
Uhe Britlsh) may expect some pretty definite
interpretation of the Shantung clause" there
will be no surprise and probably no protest
from the same quarter against definite inter
pretations" of other provisions of the treaty not
satisfactory to the senate.-Minneapolis Tri-

A Dru Strike

"This is the first strike in the United States
when the strikers could not purchase liquor"
writes a correspondent of The Journal from
Pittsburgh. AS result. he reports, there has
not been as much violence as was expected
Prohibition Is being enforced and men are not
doing things under the excitement of liquor
that they would not otherwise have done.
In it's palmy days the saloon throve on
strikes as on all occasions when men were idle.
In the literature of melodrama, the man who
is going to do bad deed always fills himself
up with fiery liquor. These things must now
be counted among the memories. The striker
now has not the excuse for violence that once
might have been offered.
Satire about prohibition must turn to seri-
BUSINESS if it is shown that dry strike is less
violent and destructive of life and property
than some of our wet strikes have been. Men
in their right minds will not only exercise
greater self-restraint but will be in better
frame of mind when the time comes to con-
slider and adopt reasonable terms of settlement
1t is but giving prohibition its due to say that
it creates an atmosphere in which one would
naturally expect to find soberness and reason

Ruth, the Home Run Man

Whatever else this eventful year has failed
in It must be credited with a new record in
the most individualistic angle of base ball. tor
Mr.. Ruth of the Boston Americans has done
something that nobody else ever did. He has
made 28 home runs in a season IN major
league.
It may mean nothing to Peruvian profes-
sor of Iceland languages that man is able
to hit a sphere of rubber, string and leather SO
hard with piece of wood that he can touch
three bases go feet apart and get home before
the ball is returned to the place OF impact but
it means lot to Americans. And the inter-
est in a man who make 2S home runs in
season is not % times greater than in PLAYER
who can make one: it is $4,000 times greater.
The early history OF the home run, unlike so
many other great accomplishments OF man
kind, is not lost in the mists of the ages Every
base ball enthusiast knows about Ed William
SON. who made 27 four-base hits in 1884, and
John Freeman, who larruped the leather to the
limit Is times in 1899. 1t is the records of
these Olympians that George Ruth has sur
passed this year, putting himself on the same
plane, in the minds of thousands of youths,
with General Pershing and the king OF the
Belgians. #
The home run Is the acme of magnificent
!ndividualism In base ball. II is philanthropic
that i helps those who are ahead, on bases

breaks the heart Of the opposing outfeld. 1t

Descent and Distribution.

w. Eff a man should die leav-
ing no will. does a second wife share
equally in the estate with one child
of a former marriage? What is
brothers and sisters share and just
what is the Nebraska law on inher-
itance?
Answer-The laws of the state of
Nebraska on the subject of descent
and distribution are as follows:
When any person shall die, leav-
ing husband or wife surviving, all
the real estate of which the de-
ceased was seized of an estate of in
heritance at any time during the
marriage, or in which the deceased
was possessed of an interest either
legal or equitable at the time of his
or her DEATH whichhas not been law
fully conveyed by the husband and
wife while residents of this state,
or by the deceased while the hus-
band and wife was a nonresident of
this state, which has not been sold
under execution or judicial sale, and
which has not been lawfully de-
vised, shall descend subject to his
or her debts and the rights of home
stead in the manner following:
First. Onefourth part to the
husband or wife, if the survivor is
not the parent of all the children of
the deceased and there be one or
more children, or the issue of one or
more children surviving;
Second. One-third to the hus-
band or wife if the survivor is the
parent of all the children of the de-
ceased and there be two or more
children, or one child and the issue
of one or more deceased children
surviving;
Third. One-half to the husband
or wife, If the survivor is the parent
of all the children Of the deceased
and there be only one child or the
issue of a deceased child, surviv-
ing:
Fourth. One-half to the husband
or wife, if there be no children nor
the issue of any deceased child or
children surviving;
Fifth. If the deceased leave
relatives of his or her blood the
residue of the real estate of which
he or she shall die seized in the
cases above named, when not law
fully devised shall descend subject
to the rights of the homestead, in
persons as hereinafter provided for
the descent of real estate of de-
ceased persons leaving no husband
or wife surviving; and in the event
the deceased leave no relatives of
his or her blood, the residue of the
real estate herein provided for shall

The Professors s Debtor
From the New York Times.

Who owes the college teacher "a square
deal?" Thus far in the several drives" for en-
dowment funds the alumni of each institution
have collectively assumed the debt, thereby de-
claring gratitude for PROFESSIONAL admonitions
which they scarcely felt in their undergraduate
days. A correspondent yesterday gave evidence
that the mellowing fingers of time have touched
others equally Though he went into business
without college course, and prospered, he is
not one of those who glory in being self
made" but has always regretted his loss. He
suggests that "a large part of the funds" should
be paid by men who feel as he does.
Equally to be admired are the fine generosity
Of his thought and the hardihood with which
competing "drve" teams One casual sentence,
moreover discloses an underlying wisdom. cal
most without exception self-made men educate
their own children 1t is thought that puts
to shame the French cynic's definition of graft

With only single step further in the enlight-
eminent OF self-interest, we arrive at the con-
clusion that, as the ultimate beneficiary of adj
vanced education is the community as whole,

who realize what they have lost and wish to in
sure it to their descendants.

suggestion is made by julius H. Barnes, speak
ing for the Institute for Public Service. The

figure so that liberal education may be within
the means of poor, and even of self-supporting,

in effect, is gratuity. That is one of the many
anomalies of democratic institutions Mr.
Barnes suggests that in making their canvass

solvent graduate with demand for unpaid ar
rears of tuition, and then proceed to the more
abstract obligations of college loyalty, pupllary

SAME OLD STOP THIEF" CRY.

1t used to be the favorite ruse of a clever
pickpocket, when he had turned \ trick and
wanted to make safe getaway, to start the
cry, stop thief" in order to divert attention

to cover up their own part in the recent riot by
raising hue and cry against The Bee for which
they know there is not the slightest justification.

pened the day after:
PROTECTION FOR WOMANHOOD.
Attacks on Omaha women and girls have
at last challenged the indignant attention of
the community. THE EXTREME LIMIT
OF ENDURANCE HAS BEEN REACHED.
The apex has been passed with the criminal
assault on little Agnes Loebeck Thursday
night by an unidentified negro. The crime
was one of the boldest and most degraded in
the annals of crime.
The womanhood Of Omaha is aroused
MANY WOMEN FEEL THEY ARE NOT
IN THEIR OWN HOMES. They fear for
the safety of their daughters if away from
home after nightfall AND. REGRETABLE
AS 1T is TO BE FORCED TO MAKE
THE ADMISSION. THEIR FEARS ARE
NOT GROUNDLESS. They are demanding
better protection--they have perfect right to
demand it for themselves and their daugh-
ters-protection from both white and black
degenerates.
IF. POLICE PROTECTION CON-
TINUES UNAVAILING, OMAHA
STANDS IN A FAIR WAY OF BEING
STILL FURTHER DISGRACED BY MOB
LAW VIOLENCE, for the people of Omaha,
any other reputable city, will not stand to
have women and girls left helpless before
their assailants.
The other day when bank was robbed of
few thousand dollars more than a hundred
men were soon on the trail of the bandits
The police and state officials were prompt
and untring in their efforts to catch the cul-
prits and recover the money IS MONEY,

UABLE THAN WOMANHOOD? Omaha
and surrounding country should be combed
and every avenue of possible escape watched

has been caught-and then let no mistake be
made when the case is called in court

PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS-Omaha
