ate ants and caught poison ivy and
did all the other things people always
do OH picnics.

After / got back to st. Louis l had
a great time. The nurses used to take
me to town with them. There was one,
Miss Lillian Bennett. who used TO pet
me. One day when 7 was downtown

URGE COOLIDGE
To SCRAP SHIP
B D A R D
President Is Given Plan for
Hating Friction in
Marine Service.
DIV JShN i. LAND
BY Universal Service.

WASHINGTON, u. C.. Nov. 2S.-
Strip the United States shipping board
Of practically all its power.
Place future control of Americas
vast fleet of ships and all marine
property. wherever located throughout
the world, in the hands OF a new public
fleet corporation, directly responsible
to the President
Sell the ships 70 private interests as
soon as possible. with the requirement
that they shall forever fly the Ameri-
can flag.
But, whether under private or gov
eminent operation. maintain nm ade-
auate merchant marine for commerce
in peace tine and for protection in
var, because the people want it.
REPORT TO COOLIDGE.
These are the important recommen-
dadons made fer future marine pol
iey TO President Coolidge by H. G..
,Dalton of Cleveland, appointed by the
President TO find out what is wrong
with the merchant marine and why
the shipping board is torn into war
ring factions. The President has made
the report public.
Disaffcction between the shipping
board and the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration will continue unless the pres
cnt dual control over the ships is abol-
ished, Dalton reported.
The President, he stated, should ask
Congress for authority 10 name a chief
executive Of tine fleet corporation, who
would operate the ships, aided By a
board of trustees to include the secre-
tsreis of war. navy and commerce and
the postmaster general.
TO ADJUST RATES.
He would revert the shipping board
30 the status Of the Interstate Com
ncrce Commission, with power to ad-
Just rate and cargo disputes between
the shippers and the ship operators.
The same plan has been proposed by
Secretary of Commerce Hoover.
The government, Dalton advised.
should maintain its age-old policy OF
restricting coastal trade TO American
ships.
Government operations Of ships in
foreign trade can never be successful,
he believes. Ship lines should be
brought by the government to a
profitable basis if possible and then
sold. Railroads. he advised, should
be permitted to own and operat,
ships.
President Coolidge is expected to
adopt that section of the report which
recommends the practical elimination
Of the shipping board and to include
II in his message TO Congress.

Trio Bound Over 10 District
Court Under $4,000
Bonds.

r. TT. kinzie, his wife and Elmer
Dunning, bank bandit suspects held
by Omaha police since Sunday, were
bound over TO the district court under
bond of $4,000 each when they were
arraigned in police court "Wednesday
morning on charges of possessing
burglars TOOLS
Charges against the three suspects
were filed Tuesday to block habeas
corpus actions and to enable police
to Investigate further the activities
OF the trio. Police still believe they
can be connected with several of the
recent bank robberies in Iowa and
Nebraska, and that Kinzie may have
been implicated in the Denver mint
robbery in 1922.
kinzie was turned over 10 federal
authorities Tuesday afternoon to an.
swer charges of transporting a stolen
automobile.
John Marsh, alias Lambert. who
was arrested with the other three

New YOrk's Solution.
Nearly every city has combatted
the smoke nuisance, and some have
solved 1t entirely. New York City
did it some years ago by prohibiting
the use OF anything but anthracite
coal.
However, the metropolis is adjacent
to the hard coal fields of Pennsyl

simple. The situation In Omaha Is
entirely different. The city con.

result is that his coal bill is nearly
twice as much as 1t should be, that
