There should be a statute. fixing
severe punishment on those who steal
automobiles, just as there is o. special
statute against the stealing Of bicy-

reports, this thing is getting to be an
almost daily affair. 1t seems to be
an easy crime to commit and IL is get

These were words uttered by the
judge in a timely lecture he gave
the young white man who stood be-
fore him. in the prison ers' dock, well,
dressed and youthful, but upon whom
he was forced to pass severe judg-
ment.

Swimming Director for
0. A.C. Exhibits Some
Fancy Stunts in Pool

G. P. Wendell, director OF athletics
for the Omaha Athletic club, Tues
day night gave the first exhibition of
fancy swimming and diving in the
natatorium on the fourth floor of the
new building.
Several hundred persons witness
ed the demonstration. Prof. Wen
dell's spin dive proved particularly
popular. This feature was originated
by the performer, and consists of
his taking the same course while in
the air as the aviators take in their
famous stunt called the "tail-spin."
Another number on the program
which appealed especially to the
spectators was a stunt, also origi-
mated by Prof. Wendell, who learn
ed it from the deep sea fish in the
North Sea. It represents the SWIM
mer's idea of a whale at play. He
swims the entire length of the pool
beneath the surface Of the water.
Particular pleasure is afforded when
the performer comes up and spouts
water 20 feet into the air
The program consisted of IS num-
bers, and among others were the
swan dive, seal dive, cork screw
dive, imitation of the submarine and
a demonstration of the English over
arm stroke.
Prof Wendell announced the pool,
which is said to be one of the finest
and most complete in the country,
would be open to the public in the
next few days. Swimming classes
will be organized, and several days
a week will be reserved for women
and girls, it was said.

the Nebraska base hospital is Ioca-

visit the hospital.
The coming of the Omaha boys
was complete surprise to the doc

hospital, who gave the visitors a
royal welcome. Many of the men
who met there were formerly per-
sonal friends, according to Nichol-
sons letter, in which he states that
three, of the boys in the ambulance
unit were fellows who had been in
his own class in school.
There are very few patients left
in the Nebraska hospital in France,

Town Crier in France
Drums Up Crowds and
Then Reads the News

A different way of purveying news
than that of newspapers in this
country is described by Ike Feblo-
WITT, formerly employed in the
Bee composing room, in a recent
letter from St, Aigon, near Tours.
France, where he is in the service.
This is a very old fashioned
place-no street cars, shows or
newspapers-the last one in which |
am most interested. Last week an
old Frenchman came down the
street with a big drum. He would
stop at each corner, drum for a
while, then read the latest Dispatch
es from Paris to many interested
French people. 1t was quite a
novelty at first but | am getting
accustomed to their ways now.
"On Sundays the farmers come
to town with their cows, pigs, rab-
bits etc; merchants with their
wares and place tents along the
busy streets. I have seen the same
in reel" life, now | have a chance
to see the real way in which it is
DONE" he wrote.
