WE WANT TEACHERS

Let US not forget that the
time is drawing near for the
election of teachers. There are
several of our young women
who are eligible both by train
ing and experience to have a
place in our public schools.
They will not be appointed,
however, if we continue to be
idle and do nothing about it.
Let us get busy now and go in
dead earnest, intelligently, but
insistently, for this just recog-
milton of our citizenship.

FOR A MORE BEAUTIFUL
CITY

Spring is here and we are
quite sure that all of our citi-
zens, and especially those who
are home owners, of whom we
have a relatively large number,
will take pride in painting up,
cleaning up and identifying
their premises. Unfortunately,
there are some of our people
who, as tenants, are living in
unsightly shacks for which the
owners should be prosecuted
for renting, who have little in
centive for trying to improve
their surroundings and yet,
even in these cases, we hope
that the tenants will do what
they can to make these places
more slightly, by cleaning up
the premises and by planting
flowers. In the meanwhile,
just as soon as they can, we
hope they will move into bet
ter places and the city will
compel owners to raZe or re-
pair some of these novels rent
ed for human habitations.
Whether owner or tenant, let
us do all we can to beautify
our homes and help Omaha to
become more beautiful city.

CAPITAL STOCK ISSUES
ARE NOW AT HIGH MARK
snecial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The star.
NEW YORK, November 12-Not in
years have stock issues been employed
for the purpose Of raising new capital to
the present extent. This is a natural
result of the public interest in equities
rather than in fixed Obligations and one
of which corporation borrowers and
their bankers are taking full advantage
Figures that have been compiled COW
ering October financing indicates that
the output of stocks by industrials and
public utilities in that month was near
~ twice as large as the amount of new
bonds authorized. Some of this is due
to new stock which several of the large
corporations such as Montgomery Ward
have offered to their shareholders. Most
of IT represents form of borrowing
adopted to meet the demands of the
times. It includes not only common
stock, but preferred stock issues. al
though the latter frequently confer on
the holder the privilege of at some time
converting 1t into common.
The stock issuing tendency has been
strong throughout 1928. In the first 10
months of the year the aggregate of
such issues was nearly $4,000, 900 900
compared with $3,314,833,000 of bonds.
Industrial companies sold a greater
amount of stock than of bonds In the
case of the public utilities bonds ex-
ceeded stocks by $300,0000 900 and rail-
roads issued four and half times more
bonds than stock.

CHANGES IN STYLES

American Output Increases Rap
idly as Depression In
Industry Wanes.

Spacial DISPATCH to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 12.-The
United States will supply more patent
leather to the world this year than ever
before in history. Americans will buy
more patent leather shoes, according to
August H. Vogel. leather producer, than
any other nation, but the American
product will fill the demand of every
other country, including British India
and China.
This is bringing an increased volume
of business to the section of the leath-
err industry which tans upper feathers
and accounts for nearly half the cattle
hides of the nation. Output OF upper
side leather has gained $40 per cent in
the last nine years as a consequence
and 1928 will be the ,industry's biggest
year. James Whitcomb Riley's SUM-
tanned bare legged boy has revolution
lied the tanning and leather industry
of America. outside the patent leather
field. That is because the barelegged
sun-tanned boy has been followed by
the barlegged sun-tanned girl. At the
style show here the bare-legged SUM-
burned colors will be displayed ex-
tensively for women's wear in the Spring
of 1929 and the tanners will exhibit
some remarkable shades in calf, kid
and reptile feathers.
The tanners will confer then with
the makers and designers of shoes and
this meeting, which is still in the ma
ture of an experiment, having been
held only once before. will determine
the styles and colors to be worn during
the hot weather of 1929. There is to-
day closer cooperation throughout the
leather industries from the producer of
hides to the maker of shoes than ever
before, and the guesswork is gradually
being squeezed out.

BANK PRESIDENT 81,

Saws Ideal Man Should Strive for

EAST JEFFREY, N. H. P).-Alfred
Sawyer at 81 is still a bank president;
For many years an Office holder and
a leader in local civic affairs, Sawyer
now has practically Withdrawn from
these phases of public life except to
serve as trustee for philanthropic funds.
Looking back on his long and busy
life, Sawyer declares that an ideal for
which man should strive Is to be able
to control his own actions"
There is such thing as working too
hard, he admits, but others are TOO
lazy. He could not, he says, have con-
sidered he had done a days work after
six or eight hours labor, and he does
not believe people today are working
as hard as in his earlier time.
His advice to the rising generation is
simple:
"They should undertake to do some
thing that will count. They should GO
to bed early and get plenty Of sleep II
they are to act in the world next day
as men and women. They should go
to bed and be rested and prepared for
work. If studying, they out to learn
the lesson, learn it so well 1t Will never
depart from them"
Sawyer has required doctor only

ticed moderation in eating and has re-
trained from smoking and drinking In

SUBSIDIZED OPERAS

ayers say, or they will be forced to adopt
commercial methods.
For two and a half centuries the
Opera and the Comedie-Francaise. and
for lesser periods the Odeon and the
Opera Comique, have maintained stock
companies and produced a specified
number of the classics and new works
each year. The seat charges have been
regulated, actress friends of powerful
politicians often have had to be en-
ployed and government officials usually
had plenty of passes. Nevertheless, the
four houses prospered until the war,
maintaining the best art standards in
drama and music.
Subsidies Reduced.
Subsidies of a third of a million dol
lars before the war have been reduced
through depreciation to one-f1fth that
amount. It is said the four houses must
have the real equivalent of their pre-
war allowances to fulfill their artistic
aspirations.
All four have the use of their build
ingS without charge, but they pay the
same taxes as other theaters. Their
expenses for upkeep and equipment,
however, are higher because relatively
rich staging is expected of the gov
eminent houses.
The pay roll of these houses is a
sore point Actors of great reputation
get less than minor players in small
theaters. The rank and file of the
companies do not get enough to live
in a modest boarding house.
Pay Wages in Fame.
They have to supplement their
salaries with outside revenue by teach
ing or society entertaining. They are
expected to take fame as their wages.
The two operas relieve the strain by
guest" performances, which are merely
by a singer who has the money to
satisfy his or her vanity. And as the
operas have no real competition they
usually play to fairly full houses. They
are unable, however, to engage any
noted outside artists or to produce
enough new operas in proper man.

although with difficulty, at an altitude
Of about $4,000 feet. Man can, too,
live for some days at attitudes above
$4,000 feet. These facts are proved by
the Mount Everest expedition in 1922
