It was contribution of inestimable value, and we could supply if it were ever again necessary"
 He called attention to the fact that oo per cent. Of the men examined in the selectiye draft were physically de- thcient in some respect. and pointed out that in New York state 51 per cent. were not up to the physical standard. This. he explained, was reason enough for the schools and colleges to take a more active inter- est in body building, and to make physical education compulsory, if that was The best means to insure better men and women
 He spoke of the broad influence which the recreational spirit of the American soldiers had abroad. and gave much of the credit for this to the development of sports in the schools and colleges: He also called atten- ton to the fact that the demands of pence were quite as strong as the de- .nands of war for men not only sound fin mind but sound in body He con cluded by saying: ... .,.."

On>Women's Right to Jobs

gamated Association of Street and
Electric Railway Employees, oppos-
ed the appeal.
DR.. Shaw declared that during the
war women in all parts of the eoun-
try had responded nobly to the ma
tion's call for workers, but that now
that the acute need for workers had
passed there was tendency to get
rid" of the women.
Men employees demand it" said
DR.. Shaw. "and because they are or
ganized they have power to enforce
their demands. The worst of it is
that many of the men so employed
were never in the military service,
but had left to enter safe employ
ment."
DR.. Shaw insisted that the basic
right of women to do any kind OF
work they were capable of perform
ing should be established and that
men should not be allowed to say
that women could not be employed
Mr.. Walsh, who appeared as coun-
sci for the women employees, said
the board should declare that wo-
men were legally entitled to the

An effort was made to get infor-
nation from the three boys, who
range in age from s to IA years, but
a sharp command in Bohemian
from their father silenced them.
The wife recently left him and it
was strongly rumored she had gone
to obtain a dovorce because of al
legged cruelty. Blazka had the boys
searching the country for her and
when he found she was in Alliance
wrote her, stating he was very sick.
and asked her to come home. This
she did.
A year ago last December Blazka
stabbed to death Guy Catlow, a
neighboring boy, who had gone to
his home in company with Floyd
Yauney, a deputy sheriff, for the
purpose of adjusting a slight differ
ence in which he had a warrant
sworn out for Catlow's mother. At
this time Sheriff Yauney was conf
PEELED to shoot him in the legs and
threaten to kill him before he was
conquered. AS a result of this shoot
ing one of Blazka's legs was am
putated and he was in hospital in
Omaha for nearly a year.

took the prisoner, the three boys and
the body to Hyannis where a cor
