If Corporal Barley had quit, the
Hun advance might have gained force
and given the Americans serious
setback. A Hun victory of any size
would have delayed the end Of the
war. But Corporal Barley did not
quit. He made the best of what ne
had and that best was very good, good
enough in fact to win him the recon-
mendation for the Congressional
Medal of Honor, which is something
worth having.
We can no more afford to ignore
the principle of Thrift and Saving
and the splendid opportunity our gov
eminent offers for saving and invest
ment, than could the soldiers of Amer
lea on the French battlefelds. We
have a task to take care of that which
is ours alone, in this work of recon-
struction and thrift.
Each of US has his own little sector
of the front and it is our job to see
that we not only hold but that we adj
vance as far as possible all along the
line. If we do as well as Corporal
Barley we will keep our country in
the worlds front ranks and our child
rem and children's children far from
want
1t is for us to show the way by
thrifty living, by using wisdom in
spending and saving, by being sure Of
our investments and to be sure of an
investment means to become interest
ed in government securities. Right
now, there is absolutely no better in
vestment for our children and our
selves than Thrift Stamps, War Saw
ings Stamps and Treasury Savings
Certificates of 500 and $1,000 denom-
nations.

ciaize in Home Economics at the
State University. But the strange
part of it was that the "child" could
not give her reasons; she only resorted
to a woman's greatest refuge in times
Of trouble, and said Because" The
little word has, perhaps, also kept our
high school from including Home Ec-
onomics in its course of study. Our
taxpayers want definite reasons
easy--in fact, they are quite numer-
Gus.
How many girls become homemade
ers? Look out among your acuuaint-
ances and count how many women
have no home responsibility. Ninety
nine and ninety-nine one hundredths
per cent have such responsibility some
time in their lives.
How important is the home? Just
this much: not only our citizens, bust
ness men, school teachers, etc, but al
so our thieves and crooks are trained
there. There is no refutation when we
say that the home is the most impor-
tant institution in existence.
Who has the greatest influence in
the home? There is only one ans
wer-Mother. Putting it on a money
basis, where is the greater part OF a
mans income spent? You only have
to sit with few of our dear thrifty
grandmothers and you will hear some
thing like this: "John would have been
rich man, but Mary wasn't help
mate; law, that woman didn't know
the value of dollar, you should have
seen how she used to dress those chill
dren and now those girls are spending
every cent they make on clothes" p
even unto the third generation.
Are you training your daughters so
they will be efficient helpmates and
homemakers No one will deny that
homemaking is the biggest business
on earth, it requires more business
sense, organization, technical skill,
and yet, we expect our dear girls to
have this instinctively, while our ply
sicians, engineers and lawyers must
have training. Now, is it fair for you
to not give the girls an opportunity
to prepare themselves for homemaking
simply because perhaps one girl in a
thousand doesn't have that RESPONSE
bility. One girl in hundred may
have kept house well without train
ing. You may say that your daughter
does not have to wash dishes or even
clean the spots off her dress. Does
she know how to see that someone
does it correctly for her? Can she
superintend the house and know that
she is getting what she should from
her help?
| Get out of the old-fashioned idea
that home-making is instructive anc
it is disgrace to be told anything
about the home--also, Home Econom
les in your high school does not NEAR
just cooking and sewing; it means
training for better home making
which means better citizens for Farm

MISSOURI WAR HERO'S
EXAMPLE WORTH EMULAT-
ING IN PEACE TIME

There is a regular soldier still in
France who is going to get the Con-
gressional Medal Of Honor. To him
was given the supreme honor of
breaking up a German attack all by
himself, an attack, if it had been sue
cessful, would have decided the for
tunes Of the battle in favor of the
Hun.
And be it noted that he could have
very we'll said to himself on that oc-
casion that he "could not afford" TO
remain where he was, target for the
whole German army.
He could very easily have placed
himself in the attitude some people
have taken toward the Liberty Loans
and the War Savings campaign. He
was just an American army coporal,
a Yankee non-com from Missouri
But he didn't try to shirk any respon-
sibility.
1t happened near Verdun in the
twenty-seven days battle of the Ar
gonne. The regiment to which the
Missourian belonged was pretty bad
ly shot up. The Huns had thrown a
smoke screen out and were driving
the Americans back under cover of
the artificial gas fog from Hunland.
The lone soldier was falling back with
the others when he sighted dis
abled French tank and German ma
chine gun at about the same time.
He planted that Hun rapid-frer in
the French tank and got busy. From
his station he commanded hilltop ov-
err which the Boche must advance. AS
they came on in battalion formation
he "swept them down. to use his own
words, "like hay in front of a sickle.
He had no one with him to feed that
unfamiliar machine gun, remember.
The water jacket on the gun boiled
dry from the stream of bullets that
he kept squirting into the German
masses. He emptied his canteen Of
water into the jacket and cooled it off
a bit, and went methodically to work
again, killing Germans. All the time
he was firing German cartridges col
lected from the abandoned German
machine gun nest behind the tank.
He was on the job, doing what he
had been trained to do, what America
sent him over to do. Finally the Huns

Use Dealers License.
Discussing The operation of auto
mobiles by car owners under a deal
er's license, State Engineer Johnson
had this to say in warning to the
dealers: Every dealer has occasion
OF permitting a purchased car to be
driven home with his dealer tag on.
The law allows an owner 10 days
under that tag, and after that the
owner is required- to get his own
plate. But, in Omaha, Lincoln, and
in fact all cities, there is no neces-
sity for this as the local county tres
urer has the plates and all the owner
has to do is to go there and get it.
| want to warn dealers that when a
car owner keeps his dealers license
plate for 10 days, as provided by law,
that car owner is acting in the ca
pacity of the dealers agent and the
dealer is responsible for accidents

ing this 10 days. Car owners and
dealers as rule do not know this,

TILT YOUR LAMPS
TO COMPLY With
The STATE LAW
Dealer Who Allows Purchaser
to Use His License Num-
Der Is Liable for
Accidents.

A meeting called by State Engi-
neer Johnson, at Lincoln CONNER
cial club, Thursday, on the sub
ject of a uniform enforcement of
the state headlight law, and the pro-
vision in the new registration law
regarding operating privately owned
cars under a dealers license, de-
veloped the fact that the road build
ing fund of the state is being
cheated out of thousands of dollars
by car owners holding onto their
dealers license tags.
Col. B. w. Jewell, J. S. White,
H. o. Friedricks and Secretary
Smyth represented the Omaha Auto
club.
1--WE have a headlight testing sta
ton here in Lincoln, in connection
with the police station" stated
State Engineer johnson, where
every make of dimming lens has been
tested. So far, we have failed to
find a single lens which conforms to
the requirements of the state head
light law. The law specifies that
the direct beam shall not rise above
AZ inches from the road at dis
lance of IS feet in front of the
car"
All the popular makes of dimming
lenses were mentioned in the dis
cussion, and only one received
uear-ron1rnendation.
Tilt Lamp Forward.
After a long discussion on the
light question, it was the unanimous
opinion of state officials, auto club
officials and others interested, that
the solution is to tilt the lamp for
ward to comply with the law. This
is recommended by the Lincoln po-
lice, State Engineer Johnson and
Auto Club officials. Tests under
this fitting process have shown ex-
cellent results, as a car can then be
driven without dimming lenses and
you have the full car'-.e power OF
your lights on the road, safe both in
the city and the country.
fitting the lamp post forward
was recommended few years ago
by the secretary and other officials
of the Omaha Auto club, but the

ket at that time was thought a So
luton Of the light problem. At that
time California had just held an ex-
haustive test and had recommended

-Four Changes In the
Lincoln Highway
Are Recommended

Four changes in the Lincoln high
way from Omaha to Fremont, in
GLIDING the elimination of Waterloo
as one of the town on the route, are
recommended to the county commits
sioners in a letter from Vice Presi-
dent A. B. Bement for the board of
directors of the highway association.
The suggested changes are:
Five miles west of the Omaha city
limits, to cut and fill a road along
the section line, instead of detouring
around hill to the south and max
ing a dangerous curve.
Four miles east of Elkhorn, to
keep to the north of the Union Pa
cihc tracks instead of making two
crossings of the railway line before
entering the town.
After crossing the Elkhorn river,
to eliminate the dip south through
the town of Waterloo by making a
straight cut to where the highway
joins the Union Pacific northwest of
Waterloo.
Parallel the north side of the I'm
ion Pacific from Valley to the Dodge
county line, cutting out two right
angle turns.

MANY BAGGAGE
PIECES Bear A
WRONG ADDRESS
Railway Express Co. Last
Year at This Time Sent
1900 Trunks to mo
Mark" Bureau.

With the vacation season at its
height. local expressmen are now
handling more summer baggage than
at any time in the history of the ex-
press business, said General Agent
Warner, in charge of the city office
of the American Railway Express
Co.
The heavy movement of trunks,
suit cases and other personal bag
gage from nearby resorts is keeping
the local expressmen on the con-
slant go. Last year at this time
1,500 pieces of personal baggage had
to be sent each month to the various
mo mark" bureaus of the express
company, throughout the country, as
the addresses of the owners were
totally missing or Inaccurate
General Agent Warner recently
called his men together to study the
situation. Most of the trouble has
been traced to carelessness. on the
part of vacationists, in addressing
the baggage.
The most prolific cause Of delay
according to General Agent Warner
is the practice of shippers of not re.
moving all of the old labels and ad-
dresses from previous trips Of their
baggage. Frequently trunks are
found in the express office with two
or more addresses, anyone of which
may lead the trunk astray. Some
vacationists, returning to large
city, fail to give their local street
addresses and the city Offices of the
express company find it impossible
to locate the owner.
Each piece of baggage should have
a tag and label, bearing the proper
address attached to it. The address
should be clearly and correctly writ
ten and contain all of the essential
information. to accomplish its deliv.
cry. No shipments are accepted
without declaration of value and il
is to the interest of baggage shippers
to make correct statement on this
item, as under the law the carriers
liability, unless extra valuation is
specified. is limited to $50 for bag.
gage weighing 100 pounds, or under
or SO cents per pound actual weight
if the trunk is over the l00-pount
minimum.
AS an additional precaution the ex.
press officials suggest that all bag.
gage shippers place an extra address
somewhere on the inside Of their
trunks and suit cases, so that in the
case Of delay or miscarriage of the
pieces. they can be opened and their
owners identified as soon Is possible
and the baggage forwarded tc

Safety first rules are applied and

bound to maintain in the operation

dan, chief of the governments air
mail service, who was in Omaha
last week, looking over the landing
field and designating the location
of the hangers to house the air
ships that will go into commission
when air-mail service is extended
from Chicago next May.
with properly constructed air
plane, navigation of the air is much
safer than riding in an automobile
over the crowded boulevards of a
city or in congested business dis
trict Few airplane accidents are
recorded except in cases where the
pilots have been careless or where
the pilots have been driving poorly
constructed machines" continued
Colonel Jordan, who for 10 years
has spent a large portion of his
working hours in the air.
There is something wonderfully
exhiliratng about flying and the
man or woman who once gets a
taste of it ever thereafter greatly
enjoys navigating the air. There
is that freedom that it is impossible
to feel when riding on railroad
train, steamboat. or in an auto
mobile You realize you are skim
ming through the air like a bird
and after the first few rides nervous
ness disappears and feeling of
confidence and safety takes its
place.
''In an airplane you need have no
lear of wind, tornadoes or cyclones.
The plane can outdistance any of
them in race. and in the event that
navigator Of the air happens to
run into one of these storms of the
air. all he has to do is to put on
little speed. He clefts it like a
night, and an instant later he is in
the zone of calm. Then, too, if the
air current is bad where he happens
to be flying, he can drop down or
elevate his machine 1000 or so feet,
and he is outside of the danger zone.
Flying is a great pleasure, and
it's going to be great help in the
transaction of business where deals
OF considerable magnitude must be
closed and where the parties to the
transactions must meet face to face.
