Pictures Show Effects on Tires.

Slow motion pictures of the typS
that have amused movie fans by SLOW
ing down swiftly moving bodies to the
point where every action may be ana
lived have been utilized by tire com
pany for a scientific study Of just wha;
happens when a heavily loaded motor
truck climbs a curb, drops off an ele-
walton or bumps over a railroad track.
This is the first time this very valu-
able form of photography has been
used by a tire company. Among the
questions the pictures will aid in SEW
ing are the effects of heavy blows ON
highways, trucks, loads and tires.

Electricity to loSate Oil.

New uses for electricity are con
stantly appearing. One of the latest
IS the detection of crude oil in the
earth instead of boring for it. 1T II
stated that crude petroleum has beer
located electrically in the shallow oil
field near Corsicana, Tex, and that
further tests are being made around
Burkburnett. A series of batteries Isl
used for the test, the negative ter
minal being connected to a wire
which is dropped into dry waterhole,
valley or indentation, and the positive
terminal being connected to "land
wire" which is used to make contact
at various points on the surface or
the field investigated. 1t is stated
that the higher electrical resistance
of oil compared with other constitus
ents of the earth, permits it to be To-
Gated by the reduced DETECTION of a
sensitive instrument in the circuit.

MISSOURI VALLEY DE-

FEAIS BLAlIt-26-7
Sunday afternoon before crowd
Of 200, the town team defeated the
fast Blair team. The game was we'll
worth the time spent in keeping
warm.
Early in the game it was apparent
that with the heavy line and backfield
the home team would roll up a good
score. Blair had very little chance
in the first quarter to show their Of
fensive power, but later in the game
they pulled off some good plays, one
forward pass netting them a touch
down, the first one made on the local
team on plays. 1t will be remem-
bered that the Nonpareils scored
from a tumble.
The Blair team is a clean bunch
Of players and we cannot help feeling
that this is the beginning Of proper
athletic relations with our neighbors
The town team goes to Blair for re-
turn game on Turkey day and nc
doubt will be accompanied by large
crowd Of rooters.
The attention of the team is now
conferred on the Atlantic game next
Sunday at Atlantic. "Pip" Cook will
come over from Lincoln Thursday te
give the team some special coaching
for, this game. +.

POOR SERVICE TO OMAHA

The Northwestern has juggled the
time card until we have the poorest
Omaha service imaginable.
You have a dozen trains you can
take to the "Pay as you Enter" city
before eight o'clock in the morning,
but nothing from then until 2:O5 in
the afternoon.
1t would seem they could stop train
No. II here, which goes through at
$3.50 a. M, without discommoding
their schedule great deal. At pres
ent it takes whole day to attend a
matinee in Omaha and it is impossible
to attend a night show without re-
manning all night.
1t would seem that trains could be
run somewhat for the Accommodations
of the towns through which they
pass rather than for the highbrows in
Chicago.

PERsHlNG's TRIBUTE
TO THE RED CROSS

ut gives me real pleasure to
pledge my hearty support to
the American Red Cross. While
the opportunity for its greatest
service comes during times of
war, and it's achievements dur
ing the late World war have
been unparalleled, yet there is
and perhaps there always will
be a vital need for the humani-
tartan work which it renders.
1.-THE present and former sery-
ice men can never forget the
Red Cross, not only for what it
did for them during the war,
but for what it is doing now in
the army camps and posts and
wherever needed in assisting the
ex-service men throughout the
country. The value of the
American Red Cross as a peace
time organization can hardly be
over-estimated, and we owe it
our loyal support and active CO.
operation.

their lives. 1t had furnished them
with entertainment and other enjoy
nent and aid while in camp, but the
great majority had never felt the need
Of the Red Cross before entering the
service and they reasoned they would
not need its assistance now that they
were out of it again.
Since that time many thousands
have learned to know otherwise. The
Red Cross was their friend in the
service and they naturally turned to
it when trouble and complications be-
set them in civilian life.
Nearly Million Aided.
Through the Home Service Section,
which has taken up the task of car
ing for the soldier and sailors after
they leave the service, and their fami-
lies and dependents, nearly million
men have been given assistance of
various kinds. This consists princi-
pally of financial aid, finding Jobs,
obtaining back pay, allotments and
compensation.
The states in the central division
are beginning to realize some idea
Of the volume of information work
being carried on by the Civilian Re-
lief, u part of the Home Service de-
partment. From 1900 to 1000 cases
are handled from each state almost
every month.
The Red Cross does not conflne its
activities to service men only. It also
takes care of his family. In little
town in Nebraska recently a certain
soldier stationed at the Alcatraz bar
racks for discipline was granted
clemency and his term reduced. But
he had become so respondent that he
threatened to take his life.
Found Family Destitute.
The Red Cross investigated the con-
dition of his family and found they
were in destitute circumstances and
! that his mother was i'll. Moreover, It
! was found that he had been absent
! without leave to go to her. Upon
! presentation Of the facts in. the case
the sentence was committed and the
Red Cross is helping the family to get
on its feet.
f. The fact that all the returned
bodies Of dead soldiers are given q
military funeral may be partly at
! tributed to the Civilian Relief bu-
reau. While the organization does
not attend to the funeral directly, 1T
gives instructions through the Ameri-
can Legion and where the family is
financially unable to take care of the
matter, the Red Cross comes to the
assistance and offers relief.
Public health hospitals are filled
with ex-soldiers whom the Civilian
Relief service is taking care of. A
large percentage of these are suf-
fering with tuberculosis and shell
shock.
Helps Get Compensation.
i Great service has been rendered by
the Red Cross in mental cases in iden-
tifying those who have appeared In
state hospitals for the insane, and
helping them secure compensation due
from the Bureau of War Risk Insur-
ance.
In the federal boards various Offices
in the central division, the Red Cross
worker, acting with the Home Service
section, makes necessary loans to the
men, arranges suitable living condi-
lions, helps collect evidence and sup
ply facts to the board, assists in ZAP
pealing cases" and settles various
personal difficulties for the men. The
workers also follow up and aid all
men who discontinue training.
