THE BE OMAHA, TUESDAY, JUN E BIG OUTING T0 BE NOT ALL PLEASURE Business Men's Outing Club Organ- ized Primarily to Promote the Home Industries. ! AT CARTER LAKE AUGUST TWO The board of directors of the Ne- braska Business Men's Outing asso- oiation held a meeting at the Com- mercial club rooms Monday begin- ning at 10. o’clock This is the associa | tion which has made plans for a big business men's chautauqua to be held at Carter lake, beginning Monday, August 2, and ending Sunday, August 8. Over Four Thonsand Members, The association is composed of eight \ business associations of the state, with a membership of over 4,000 business firms. The associations that are members of this | genoral body are the Nebraska Federa- tion of Retailers the Nebraska Retall | 11} Hardware association, the | Jewelers' association, Bakers' association, the Nebraska plement Dealers' association, the | brasks State Pharmaceutical association, | the Nebraska rness Makers' assocla- tion and the Nebraska Retall Clothlers' amsocietion. The board of directors, which met to- | |day to further outline the arrangements | for the chautauqua, is composed of the presidents of these varlous state asso- clations and the general secretary and treasurer and manager of the general ( assoctation, | Outlines Plan. | Manager D. F. Dolan has the following tomay as to the plan and purpose of the outing or chautauqua that s pianned: “The Nebraska Business Men's Outing association Is orwanized principally to promote home trade and industries and ‘msgure higher efficlency in merchandis- # e T ““The buy-at-home policy is the best for the buying public, because it promotes #00d service and guarantees the quality ©of the goods sold. Goods are easily sold @t cut prices, but cheap goods which are ioffered for sate in connection with trad- dng stamps, profit sharing coupons and such other devices, to increase sal are dragging the standard of business down f§ to the level of cut<throat. L “The Business Men's association con- 3 templates a campalgn of education and publicity, not only for the instruction of the merchants of the state, but also for the public, with a view to & falr cooper- Ation between them, so that business may be ralsed to the highest efficiency and service. Such & purpose would promote the welfare and prosperity of the state, enhance the value Of property and bulld up our rural communities, which are still the source and center of the best things in American life. The subjects discussed at the outing will deal with the great \ business question, which will be dis cussed by men of well known ability and wide experience in the business field.

It is proposed to require that jitney men follow routes s in their applica- tions, which also show thelr sched- ules of fares. Permanent signs are to be placed on Jitneys, showing routes trav- eled and fares charged. Another proposition is to allow & max- fmum charge of 3 cents between mid- night and § a. m., requiring that regular routes be maintained. Stop on Near Side. Other regulations relate to competency of drivers, inspection of cars, lights after twilight, stopping on near side of inter- .| sections, penalities for violations and minor detalls.

[—— o ——————————— Baker May Bring ‘ San Carlo Opera Company Again | Charies R. Baker, general business rep- | resentative of the San Carlo Grand Opera company, nerally accepted by Omaba theater- ra as indcative of something good iIn | store, arrived in the city yesterday from Ban Francisco, where he has been spend- ing several weeks at the big fair. Mr. Baker's opera organization, by the way, 1s the only one tnat survived the ldln-un of -the amusement season just |closed, aside from the Metropolitan com- pany, which. is subsidised by New York capital. The San Carlo company will be one of the three great organizations as- sembled the coming season, the other two being the New York and the Chicago (reorganized) company. Mr. Baker has not decided whether Omaha will be in- cluded in the list of citles to be visited by the San ‘Carlo artists, but will con- sult with leading musio enthusiasts re- garding the possibilities. Asked what, in his opinivn, would eventuaily become of the moving ploture orase that has swept the country, Mr. Baker stated that, in his opinion, the tide has begun to turn, and that, once turned, it will develop rapidly’ back in |tavor of the iegitimate form of dramatic | entertainment. The smaller, or & and .10~ cent ‘houses, will survive the ‘longest. Americans want animated, red-blooded action on the stage-—something that gets deeper under the skin than the screen can produce. Fortunately, Mr. Baker added. grand opera cannot be produced by moving picture promoters, Feeding Station for E&nts Open Miss Beasie Randall, superintendent of the Visiting Nurse association, and Dr. Newell Jones opened a feeding station for Infants Monday morning at Columbus hall, ' Sixth and Plerce streets. Six mothers brought their bables to the sta- tion for advice. Another station will be opened Tuesday morning at 1604 North Twenty-fourth street. These stations will be maintained during the summer months, the south- east station to be open from 10 to 1l a, m. on Mondays and Fridays and the nerth side station during the same hours Tuesdays and Thursdays. Babies will be examined with a view to recommending foods which will best sult the various cases, and mothers will be Instructed fn the preparation of infant foods and the care of infants. Nugses will visit the homes when requested. Records will be maintained so that developments may be noted. Smashed Auto Has No One to Claim It Another mystery for the police: Who was driving the seven-passenger auto- mobile which crashed into a telephone |pole in front of Mason school at an early. hour yesterday? One wheel was torn off and the front of the carf was badly damaged. The car was headed {toward the north and was on' the |wrong sifle of the strest when it struck the pole.
