OMAHA, NEB.-The roar

Fascinating documents. maps,
relics, weapons, furniture. books,

other mementos of the men and
events which carved an empire out
of wilderness comprise dramatic
and graphic visual record of the
struggles, tragedies and triumphs

interviewer with the faded relics
and ghosts of long-dead pioneers and
heroes of the West are exhibits por-
traying the epic record in the build
ing of the Union Pacific, which
played an instrumental role in the
westward expansion of the empire.
Stunning away from the
musty and moldering atmOs-
phere of the typical museum
idea," all the exhibits are de-
signed to preserve all the color
and adventure which prevailed
In the pioneer days.
Since this valuable historical col
lection was opened to the public In
1889, approximately 100000 visitors
representing every state in the union
and Al foreign countries have regis
tered at the museum.
Reminisce on Careers.
Bearded oldsters wander through
the exhibits musing over items
which recall their own picturesque
careers when they-and the West
were young. In contrast are school
children and street urchins, in

Curator of the museum is Mrs.

school teacher who has been asso-
ciated with the railroad for many
years.

admits that her one regret is that

DeCaulle Far
 Ahead In Election In France

PARIS, P-Gen. Charles De Gaulle's new anti-commu n s party, the rally of the French peo- pie RPF), held a steady lead over all other parties yesterday as the count of votes in Sundays muni- cipal elections proceeded slowly.
 Frenchmen, convinced tn a t something would be changed as a result of the election, awaited a scheduled declaration from the general tomorrow for a possible hint as to how he intends to ex- ploit his victory.
 With 6,680,806 of an estimated 25,00O,OOO votes counted thus far, the standing was:
 RPF-f,631,311 votes of 33.1 per cent; RPF-headed coalitions, 272,- 565 votes or 5.5 per cent; De GaulrS total 38.6 per cent.
 Communists - 1,442,941 votes, 29.3 per cent.
 Socialists - 703,O35 votes, 14.3 per cent; Socialist-headed coali- tions, 38,3O4 votes, 8 per cent; So- cialist total-15.1 per cent.
 Other parties 337, 1852 votes, 6.8 per cent.
 The tally showed 1,755,259 ab- stentions.
 Frenchmen are sure that the re- emergence of De Gaulle as one of the top political figures in France means some changes are going to be made.
 One change already was evil dent, and many Frenchmen at tributed it to De Gaulle's victory. Parisians woke up to find their buses and subwayS running on schedule after having been strike bound for a week. The strike was settled Monday night.
 This work stoppage had been depicted as a struggle between the non-communist government of France and the communicated labor unions. Positions of both the government and the communists were said to have been weakened by De Gaulle's demonstration of strength, although the commun- ists did not actually lose any back ing at the ballot boxes. And this was held by some to have been a factor in settlement of the strike.

Fire Jeopardizing National Economy Says Authority

Percy Bugbee, general manager of the National Fire Protection Association said recently that "in the face of the country's worst housing shortage, we are burning up enough timber and lumber an nually to build 100000 five-room houses"
 Bugbee stated that last year ap- proximately l1,000 persons were burned to death and more than 10000 persons were injured in fires. The fire authority charged that needless fires were seriously jeopardizing the national economy when he reported that there were over 6oO,OoQ building fires with property loss alone of $561 ,O0O,- 900. He said that last years loss es represented 25%o increase over the year before and were 83%o higher than the last pre-war year.
 In a special prepared statement, Bugbee said:
 "We average about 1000 fires in U. s. dwellings every day We are in housing shortage and yet we burn up enough timber and lumber to annually build 100000 5-room houses. Last year when this nation stood aghast at the tre- mendous loss of man days of work because of strikes and indus trial disputes, we lost more than one-quarter as many man days of work as result of fires, without more than a ripple of concern ex- cept in the case of one or two spectacular and isolated instances an approximate figure of 25,000,- 900 man days or enough working time to make nearly 100000 badly needed automobiles. To measure this fire loss in dollars, it was enough to pay $45 a week to every man, woman and child in Wyoming for one year, or to pay the wages of the working popula- ton of South Bend, Ind, for two years.
 "The careless disposal of lighted cigarettes and matches is the prin- cipal cause of all fires. We estim- ate about 100000 fires last year from this cause alone. It seems to me that the cigarette companies should assume some responsibil- ity in educating smokers so that the loss of life and this tremen- dous number of fires by the heed less act of smokers may be re- duced.
 "I believe that the cigarette companies should maintain a con- sistent campaign to educate the public in safe smoking habits.
 There is probably no group of

BEAUTIFUL THINGS.
BY Ellen P. Allerton.
Beautiful faces are those that wear
1t matters little If dark or fair
Whole-souled honesty printed there.
Beautiful eyes are those that show,
Like crystal panes where hearth fires glow
Beautiful thoughts that burn below.
Beautiful lips are those whose words
Leap from the heart like songs Of birds
Yet whose utterance prudence girds-
Beautiful hands are those that do j,
Work that is honest and brave and true
Moment by moment the long day thfouxh
Beautiful feet are those that so
Down Do iowliest ways il God wills 1t 50.
The following poem was also
copied from the same issue Of the
Family Circle Magazine. I thought
perhaps it might appeal to some
Of the young mother readers colder

Some folks pray for a boy. and some
Some claim to think there is more JOY
Wrapped up in the smile of little boy
While others pretend that the silk curl!
Bring more of bliss to the old home place
Than a small boys queer little frecklet

Boy or girl? There can be no choice;

And all that / ask the Lord to do
Is see that the mother comes safel!

And guard the baby and have it well.

And a pair of eyes and a shock of hair
