home for examination, preliminary
to being taken to Jail.

place." they cried in unison, led by
Miss tBobbie" Gladstone. You'll

The women were arrested in vari-
Gus places Saturday night. Three
of the women, Nell Clayton and
Mary Holmes, 70S North Sixteenth

North Fourteenth street, were ar
rested early Sunday morning by De-
tective> Paul Sutton, when he broke
into their rooms in a search for Ger
tain named men who had end 1rsed

When the women learned they
were to be taken to the Detention
home for examination they laid on
the floor of the city jail. A squad
of policemen was ordered by Cap
tain Haze and Chief of Detectives
Dunn to carry the rebels into the
drug rendezvous.
A crowd, attracted by the girls
screams of remonstrance, gathered
about the Jail and watched the po-
lice carry them into the Detention
home.

SWIFTS DENY
CHARGE AGAINST
LARGE PACKERS
Statistical Analysis of Com
pany's Beef Operations Pre-
sented to Committee.

Washington, Aug. 2s.-Federal
trade commission charges against
the five leading packers, on which
the Kenyon and Kendrick bills pro-
posing license regulations of the in
dustry are based, were denied before
the senate agriculture committee, In
behalf of Swift and company. L.
D. H. Weld, manager of the depart
ment of business research for the
Swift company, was the only witness
actually on the stand, but his state
ments were supplemented occasion
ally by Henry Veeder, as general
counsel for the company, and by
John Chaplin, its general auditor.
Statistical Analysis
Statistical analysis of Swift and
company's beef operations present
ed by Mr.. Weld fixed the cost price
of fresh beef to the company in
1914 at 500 a hundredweight, and
the selling price at $l209. In 1918
the cost price had jumped 53,1 per
cent, or to $l08l, and the selling
price had increased 46 per cent, or
to $17,T. During the four weeks
ending August Is, live stock, Mr..
Yields charts showed, cost Swift
$l02S6 head, and were slaughtered
and shipped at an expense of $l2.S2
head. The beef in each animal
brought an average of SSH, and
hides and by-products 1916. The
profit deducted from this was %
cents a hundredweight.
Denies Profits Concealed.
Mr.. Weld denied that any profits
not shown were concealed in the
by-products distribution and when
committee members pressed the
point, Mr. Veeder declared that
the books of the company and all
its subsidiaries were open to its
examination for verification. +
Denial was also made by Weld
that combined profits of the pack
ers during 1918 under food admin
istration control were $l78,OO0,OOO,
as stated by Federal Trade Com
missioner Colver.
"The facts" said Mr.. Weld, "are
that in 1918 the five companies
earned $68,516,000 and that after
federal taxes were deducted they
earned $5l, 100000 net. Under the
food commission regulation, the
profits were much lower than they
were in 1917. In 1915 the packers
profits were equivalent to 1927 per
cent on capital and surplus; in 1917
they were 1928 per cent and in
1913 1912 per cent.

Alkali in Shampoos
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali, which
is very injurious, as it dries the
scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap and beats anything else
all to pieces. You can get this at
any drug store, and a few ounces
will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required. 1t
makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly,
and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking. bright, fluffy,
wavy and easy to handle. Besides,
it loosens and takes out every
particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.

Omaha theatrical managers will
join in paying tribute to the actors

cess of being appointed or have been
appointed in every city to further
plans for the day.
It is pointed out that many actors
laid down their lives on the field of

Those who remained at home raised
more than $2s000O,000 in the various
financial drives through their own
efforts.
It is planned to stage an extra
show in every theater in the city on
that day, the proceeds to go to the
