same as proposed. With this change

OMAHANS FAVOR
HARD SURFAC
ROADS IN COUNTY
Discuss Proposed Bond Issue
to Construct 100 Miles of
Highway; Favor West
@ Street Route.

The proposed bond issue of So
100000 to construct 100 miles of hard
surface roads in Douglas county and
the routes that will prove the most
beneficial to Omaha where the bulk
of the taxes will be paid were dis
cussed at a meeting of representa-
tives of different organizations inter-
ested at the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday.
John w. Gamble, president of the
club. presided at the meeting and
W. B. Cheek, president Of the Auto
club and chairman of the good roads
committee of the Chamber of COM
merce detailed the plan found most
advisable by the committee appoint
ed to have charge of the movement.
The proposed route selected by
the committee was opposed in part
by the Real Estate exchange who
preferred a road west on @ street
in preference TO improving the Cen
ter street road.
Other interests -favoring the Cen
ter street project compromised and
the @ street road was named.
Stryker Motion Approved.
A motion made by Secretary A. F.
Stryker of the Omaha Stock Yards
company and seconded by Gene Me-
lady, commission man, was unani-
mously approved by the meeting to
pave the following roads:
Washington highway to the coun-
ty line; Military road TO Valley;
spur from Valley to Bennington;
pave Benson road proposed; Lin
coin highway to Waterloo; new strip

four miles north of Valley to Mill
tary road; one mile north and west

Waterloo; @ street TO Willard; west
to a line directly south of Elkhorn;
Sixtieth street south to county line;
a road connecting Dodge and Q
streets; Center street south to coun-
ty line; Willard to Military highway

the various organizations was in the
selection of a road west from Om-
aha in the southern part of the
county. All were united in favor of
the bond issue
Build For Future.
Chairman Check in outlining the
reasons Of the committee in favor
ing the Center street road said that
hickey to bringing business to ON
aha from the terri &ry directly west
hinged on seeurin "a bridge over
the Platte river and that the Center
street road would run direct to the
proposed site. He urged the men
present TO choose roads that would
be most advisable in the future and
not to build for today purposes
only. He opposed the Q street road
as it paralleled Sarpy county roads
and would not reach the territory
Omaha desired to reach.
Chairman F. A. Brogan of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Chamber
of Commerce opposed the Center
street road as it paralleled the
Dodge road. He urged that atten-
ton be paid the northern part of the
county and advocated paving the
High road to Blair. Chairman Cheek
opposed the suggested road to Blair
saying it would only be Of interest
to 10Y riders" and stated that the
Washington highway was the busi-
ness tap to Blair and would be

Paris, Feb. Sit is now possible
to give some details of the heroic
and strenuous war activities of the
Misses Gladys and Dorothy Crom-
we'll of New York, who chose such
a tragic climax to their career of
sacrifice and devotion when they
plunged into the river Gironde from
the deck of a steamer that was to
carry them homeward.
Persons who were closely associ-
ated with the two young women in
Red Cross work are unanimous in
expressing the conviction that a
nervous breakdown from overwork
caused their suicidal act.
The Misses Cromwell enjoyed the
highest reputation among their fell
low workers and their record with
the Red Cross was spotless. Every
body who knew them remembers
them with admiration and love.
The two sisters arrived in France
a year ago and were assigned to
canteen work at Chalons- Sur Marine.
Soon after their arrival began, the
German offensive in Picardy which
was accompanied by almost nightly
bombsrdment of Chalons.

One Nebraskan's View
Of the Importance Of
More Good Roads

w. D. Fisher, secretary Of the Al
lance Community club, in recent
number of the Motor Highway.
says:
1--WE all have great deal of re-
spect and pride for our good state
of Nebraska; it is a wonderful state
in many ways, but when it comes
to the most important of all
roads--we have to take back seat,
to the disgust of many thousands of
tourists each year and to the shame
and detriment of our communities
where these conditions exist.
ut is appalling when we think of
the thousands of acres Of land which
are lying idle in our state because
of road conditions. Good roads i'm
prove the business of the local COM
munity and add TO the total food
supply of the country"

VACCINATI0
. OR QUARANTINE
SAYS MANNING
But Two Courses Open in
Regard to Mason School
Pupils; Doctors to Be
at Building Monday.

The grand old, quarrel between
the vaccinationists and the anti-vac-
cinationists broke out afresh yester-
day afternoon when a special meet
ing of the Board OF Education was
called to decide whether the chill.
dren and teachers of the Mason
school must be vaccinated.
A pupil was taken from the school
last Thursday in an advanced stage
of smallpox.
The situation has a new angle
because the principal of the Mason
school and some OF the teachers are
Christian Scientists and many Of
the children come from Christian
Science homes,
Besides the members of the Board
of Education, Dr. Z, I. Manning
city health commissioner. was pres.
ent. as was also Lester B. MeCoun
Christian Science practitioner.
Two Courses Open.
DR.. Manning soon made it plain
to the>board that only two courses
are open to the teachers and pupils
Of the school. Either they must
submit TO vaccination or they must
submit to quarantine at their homes
for three weeks.
1T is very evident" said A. R
Wells, member of the Board OF Ed
ucation, that the Board has no dis.
cretion in the case The regula-
tions of the State Department Of
Health lay down the law very def
nitely in just such cases as that oil
the Mason school II is either vac
cinate or quarantine The board
cannot override the state law"
Dr. Manning set forth the ac
vantages of vaccination and de-
clared there is no doubt ali all that
it is the one and only preventive Of
smallpox and is especially impers-
tive when a person has been ex-
posed to the disease.
Vaccination a Privilege.
AT present the disease is not vir,
ulent," lie said. Those who take
it do not have it in violent form
But such is the nature of smallpox
that at any TIME the prevalent cases
may become virulent and dangerous
to life and likely to leave permanent
Disagreement. Vaccination ought
to be regarded ASA privilege in
stead OF disagreeable duty.
have been vaccinated myself a great
many times"
No teacher or pupil in the large
Mason school will be permitted &c
come to school Monday unless he
or she has been vaccinated.
They are urged 10 have their own
do it, but the city health
will have doctors
present at the school building Mon
day to vaccinate those who prefer
to have it done there.
"But not teacher or pupil will
be permitted to continue in school
who does not get vaccinated," said
Dr.. Manning.

Ru-BIan Apartments

The owner of the Ru-Blan apart
ments, Mr.. Harry Gross, realizing
the demand which existed for some
time for attractive three and four
room apartments in a close-in dis
trict, started their erection in the
spring of 1918, hoping to have them
ready for fall. Owing to the scar

which he was very insistent, and to
disastrous fire which consumed a

Cromwell Sisters Took
Horrors of War to Heart

creased the canteen work and the
feeding of the passing soldiers en-
route for the scenes Of slaughter
became a tremendous task. The
Cromwell sisters were unusually
sympathetic, taking the war tragedy
much to heart.
Stuck to Work.
The Germans kept bombarding
Chalons. Passing trains were
bombed from the air. The station
near which the canteen was located
was struck several times.
Gladys and Dorothy Cromwell
stuck to their work. Frequently
they saw civilians manned by bombs.
The sight of wounded soldiers pass
ing through was, of course, con-
tinual.
Amidst such suffering and work
ing under such a terrible strain, it
was no wonder that the nerves of
the two young women, delicately
reared in sphere OF refinement.
culture and gentleness, finally gave
way.
The anticipated climax came at
midnight of July 4 when Chalons
was made the first objective of Il
gigantic German drive. The first
mornings fight brought several hun
bred fresh wounded, bleeding Amer
lean soldiers of the Rainbow divi-
sion through Chalons station.
On September l the Cromwell sis
tiers moved with their canteen to
Souilly, which became the center
of operations in the American often
sive. They continued their work
through the fall offensives, and af-
ter the armistice until New Years,
when signs of overwork necessitated
their return home.
