SCOUTS COVER
FALLS TO AID
SALE OF SEALS
rs Youngsters Will Distribute
Bills on Dangers of
tuberculosis.

Boy scouts of the city will take the
initial step in aid of the sale of tuber-
culosis Christmas seals this afternoon,
when they will distribute handbills
through the residence district, business
houses and offices.
The scouts will meet at the office
of the scout executive after school
and each scout will be given a territory
and 45 or 80 handbiIls. The limiting
of territory will mean that the city
will be covered with each scout spend
ing only d half hour in the work, f. l..
Graybill, scout executive, said. About
rs scouts are expected to report for
the work.
Plans for the sale, which will con-
tinue throughout this week, have been
laid by the committee of the Civilian
club, and all arrangements have been
perfected.
Some of the need for the success of
the sale was outlined by DR.. E. NJ.
Larson, president of the Civilian club.
"The department of commerce.,
through the bureau of the census, an
%nounced today that about $4,000 deaths
were due to tuberculosis in the death
registration area of the United States
in 1921, and if the rest of the United
States had as many deaths from this
cause in proportion to the population,
the total number of deaths from tuber-
~culosis in the entire United States for
1921 was about 100000 or $4,000 less
than the 10000 estimated for 1920"
he said.
"Thc figures for Montana showed
3J6 deaths in 1921 as compared with
419 in 1920 and $50 in 1910. Not only
is tuberculosis on the wane in the
Treasure state. according to the fig
ures, but it has also the fourth low
est death rate of any state in the
union from this dread disease.
THE trend of the tuberculosis death
rate is likewise downward for the
whole country except Utah"

overtaken by the officers, and both
his hands were badly frozen.

rivals that the show will have keen
competition in virtually every breed.

pens. The judges, III. Fl. Collier and
A. c. Smith. will also be in the city

Prince Lei Lani Wins
Suit on Cleaning Bill

A suit brought by Dresher Broth
ers against Prince Lei Lani, Ha-
waiian singer, was dismissed yester-
day by Justice of the Peace Bunce.
The cleaning firm alleged that the
prince owed $2s.25 for cleaning and
pressing.
Prince Lei Lani countered with
testimony that Dresher Brothers had
lost two of his suits which he valued
at $4s each and two Panama hats.
That was the reason, he explained, he
had refused to pay the cleaning bill.
Justice Bunce decided that under
the circumstances it would be un-
reasonable to expect the prince to
pay and dismissed the case. He also
dismissed the singers counter claim
against Dreshers.
Prince Lei Lani lives in Council
Bluffs. He has made his home there

Chicago, Aug. 4.-Union officials
and executives of the Chicago SUR
face lines agreed to proposals which,
if accepted by the traction en-
ployes, would end the four-day strike
of surface line and elevated en-
ployes.
Immediately following the confer
ence it was stated that the mems rep
resentatives had agreed to 70-cent
maximum wage instead of the pres
ent 82-cent wage, but that they retain
the eight-hour day with overtime for
all beyond the eighth hour and also
retain working conditions effective
before the strike. Ratification of the
men, if given, would allow cars to
begin operation by Sunday or Mon
day, it was said, thus running the
strike into its sixth or seventh day.
