today by the senate interstate

called for cross examination.
Although emphasizing, as yes

roads from adequate returns on in

by the increases during the last
three years. he asserted and he
launched into defense of tho

Although propaganda for low
or rates existed, he said that the
cost of transportation was justifia-

the rate fabric was responsible.

YOUNG GIRLS Need CARE
Mothersl Watch Your Daughters Health
Health Is Happiness

From the time a girl
reaches the age of twelve
until womanhood is estab-.
lished she needs all the care
the thoughtful mother can
give,
The condition that the
girl is then passing through
is so critical and may have
such far-reaching effects
upon her future happiness
and health that it is almost
criminal for a mother or
guardian to withhold coun-
sci or advice.
Many a woman has suf-
fered years of prolonged
pain and misery through
having been the victim Of
thoughtlessness or ignoe
rance on the part of those
who should have guided her
through the dangers and
difficulties that beset this
period.
Mothers should teach their
girls what danger comes
from standing around with
cold or wet feet, from lifting
heavy articles, and from
overworking. Do not let
her overstudy. If she COM

Washington, April 25.-"Wnether
it is suffrage or some other influence,
il is a fact that the manageable
young woman Of today prefers to
pick her future husband from among
men of maturer age" according to
Captain Kroll, tn ecapitafs marriage

THE psychology of the girl who
contemplates marriage has expert
cnced a decided change during the
last two years." observed Cupid's of

girl these days has an eye to a
safe future with comfort with a
husband with good sense, even
though older than herself, rather
than a "life full of romantic uncer-
tainty with a handsome youngster
who may change his mind over
night and get a divorce the next
morning"
Colonel Kroll was not prepared
to say whether this rather startling
development in matrimonial con-
temptations would be lasting or
whether the principle of like likes
like" would again gain the upper
hand. at may be that the girls de-
sire more independence and it may
be they think an older man can
guarantee such a state with more
facility than young husband just

Lives Years
After Crowbar
Pierces Skull
Surgeon Who Performed OPP
Grafton Cites Accident
Skull Now Used in Medi.
cal College at Harvard.

Boston, April 16--The fact that
crowbar was driven through a mans
skull here without causing death was
cited today by DR.. L. Vernon Briggs,
eminent alienist commenting on the
removal of bullet from the brain OF
prisoner at Sing Sing in an effort
to cure him of suicidal mania.
Years later, just before he died, the
man willed his head to the Harvard
medical school. The skull is at War
rem museum and is used in lectures
almost daily.
Lives Many Years
DR.. Briggs said the man was hold
ing the crowbar, which was being
struck by another man with a sledge
hammer. The man moved until his
chin was directly over the top of the
bar. :.
Not noticing the change in position
of his .fellowworker the man with
the hammer struck him smashing
blow on the head, driving the bar
upward from the chin through the
head and out of the top of the skull.
DR.. Warren, the eminent surgeon,
performed an operation, removing the
bar and inserting a silver plate at
the point in the skull where the
crowbar emerged. The man lived
many years.
Used at School
The skull now reposes at Warren
museum with an iron bar running
through it to illustrate to students
lust how the accident occurred.
DR.. Briggs, DR. George M. Kline
head of the state department of men
tai diseases, and City Health Com
missioner Woodward, all said that
only time can tell whether the Sing
Sing prisoner will be cured OF epi.
lepsy and suicidal mania by the re-
| moyal of the bullet.

L. A. Benson, prominently identi-
fed with Omaha civic affairs for
many years, has accepted the chair
manship of the Ure-for- Commission
er club, supporting the reelection of
City Commissioner w. G. Ure.
n answer to a question as to his
reasons for undertaking to head the
Ure campaign, Mr.. Benson said:
IL accepted the position through a
pure sense of duty as a citizen. Mr..
Ure is one of the most valuable city
officials Omaha has ever had. do
not think there is any room for doubt
about this in the minds Of informed
men and women, and if he does not
receive the vote OF every well-mean-
ing citizen in Omaha. it will be be-
cause such citizen is not informed
or because he allows some prejudice
or personal interest to overshadow
his duty to the city.
Ability Never Questioned.
an saying this l do not mean to
disparage any other present or former
official. I am simply stating what /
believe to be an universally recog-
nized fact. | have never heard a
man or woman question Mr.. Ure's
ability, or his integrity, his value
as a public official or his fidelity to
trust
Il know there are some who will
vote against him because he has been
too faithful in guarding the interests
of the city. This is the penalty ev-
ery honest and courageous public Of
fetal must pay, but it is not the re-
ward the people of Omaha are going
