Ornamental Lights Shine Along the Streets of Dundee Every night since New Year's eve the streets of Dundeo have been llluminated by the new elestric lighting system, which has provided & large brilliant light to sach of four ormamental poles to a city | block. There are 40 of these ornamental poles tn Dundee, and consequently 400 of these lights. Dundee had been getting along with the ordinayy system of street lighting up to New Years eve. That evening the new lights on the 400 ornamental poles were turned on, the installation of the $3,000 syftém having then been completed. It was when George & Co. introduced the ornamental noles and lights along the poulevard system of Happy Hollow that Dundee became interested in artistia wtreet lighting. It was then that an agi- tation grew for a similar system in the entire village. Some time before the con- solidation of Dundee with Greater Omaha the village voted bonds of $35,000 for the installation of & system of lights pat- tetned after those installed in Happy Hollow.

TERROR OF THE EVIL DOER | (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) | GHVGHELL Serbla, Dec. 80.—One of the |most picturesuque figures of the Iuro- pean war is the Serblan “komitadjl” or | guerilla Ivan Stoikovitch, known to fame as Babounsky. The name is drawn from the Babouna pass, where recently the Serbs so long held the invading Bul- garians at bay. Ivan Stoikovitch comes from that part of Serbia and is there- fore known to his followers and to the Serbian population at large by a nick- name indicating the fact. A slight man, tall, with honest gray- {blue eyes and the pale features of a |student, he impresses the stranger with anything but the terror which his name inspires. Nor do his looks belie his real profession. For the redoubtable Baboun- sky was a school teacher until fired by |an ardent patriotism he gave up his classes to gather about him a band of intrepid spirits in the fight for the re- lease of the Turkish part of Serbia from the Ottoman yoke. | ‘ Ever since the first Balkan war he and | his followers have been under arms. | Unrecognized by the laws of war, they have taken thelr own risks of capture | and instant execution. Their refuge is in the Serbian mountains, and they have | been willing to trust thelr security to thelr own astuteness and the impreg- | nability of their numerous hiding places. | Sort of Robin Hood. During the brief periods separating the first Balkan war from the second and | the second Balkan war from the present | European struggle, the internal admin- | istration of Serbla was in such a state of disorder that it seemed to Babounsky better to retain his band under arms and to assist in the administration of a rough and ready justice than to send his fol- lowers to their own firesides. In this capacity even in the short intervals of peace he kept his name as a kind of | modern Robin Hood, the friend of the | weak and the terror of the evil doer. | Especially since the complete break- | down of the Serbian administration fol- lowing the flight of the government to Scutari, has Babounsky become a per- sonage of prime importance in Serbla. | Before the advancing German and Bul- | garian armies, town after town was evacuated. Sometimes the inhabitants were able to make a few of their be- longings with them; more often they were force to leave with the clothes they wore as their only possessions. But especially in the southern part of Serbia, where the greater part of the inhabitants are really of Turkish or Bulgarian ex- traction, only the Serbs fled and the Turks and the Bulgarians remained. While waiting for the arrival of the armies of their compatriots, they were not averse to going through the deserted Serblan dwellings ang acquiring a few useful articles. Quickly Disposed Of. Babounsky did not approve of {his. Naturally the deserted dwellings and all in them would fall into the hands of the conquerors. That was all right—the chance of war. But that former neigh- bors should do the looting was not in Babounsky's code. And those who tried it were dealt with in a most summary manuer. Whoever, among the Bulgarians was suspected of gIvIng information to the advancing Bulgar armies aleo received short shritt. A story is told of the first Balkan war when a certain pseudo-Serb known as Kechko was suspected of treason to the Serblan cause. Baboun- sky's band appeared upon the scene one night and Kechko and four others were arrested, tried in secret by the band at midnight and sentenced to be sent to Saloniki, that is, taken to the banks of the Vardar river, stabbed and thrown in, their bodies to drift down with the current to Saloniki. All five were lined upon the bank. Babounsky gave the signal for the fatal blows to be struck. But un fortunately Kecko's executioneer, a law- yer from Belgrade, had never killeq a man before and his hand slipped. The five bodies were thrust into the Vardar, but Kechko was still alive A week later the Serblan consul at Sa- loniki was called to the hospital Kechko told him the story of his escape from death, but begged that it be kept secret until after his departure for the Uniteq States. Ultimately recovered from the unskillful stab of the Belgrade law yer, Kechko quietly departed for Amer ica where he lives still, unterrified by the famous guerilla Whenever the allied troops have need of fresh meat or wood or mules one of the officers acquaints a Serbian with what is required. The next day twenty sheep, two cords of wood or 100 mules are brought inte Negotin or Kaphadar as the case may be by a Serbian peasant. The peasant collects an equitable sum for the goods delivered and in time each Serbian who has been involuntarily levied upon for lamb or wood or mule receives his payment. Babounsky does not even keep a commission When, too, either Serb or Bulgar in one of the towna occupled by the allied troops behaves in a grasping or dishonest way towards the French or the British it is not long before the punishment ar- rives. The punishment may take various forms, from death for treason to a dozen plows with a stout stick for cheat- ing one of Serbia's allies. The punish ments, however, are rare. Babounsky's reputation is too well known The magic phrase: “Listen, my friend- 1 shall see that Babounsky hears of this,” generally has its effect. Redfield Points to A Great Prosperity, But Sounds Warning WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.—Secretary Red- field in a memorandum on business con- ditions transmitted to President Wilson today, pictured the country as in the most prosperous atate of its history. The warning is added though that war's in- flation of commerce will last only until the war ends and that business foresight alone will prepare the United States for peace. The slump that will follow the war abroad, the secretary’s summary de- clares, mdst find Americans ready to take their share of the world's trade un- hampered by provinclal notions. Fa values created by unusual conditions, he fears, may lull the United States into a fancied commercial security. “It is not expected,” the secretary says, “that our business movement will con- tinue in its present form. No one dreams that we can now or in the future main- tain an export movement of more than | five billions actual value, or that we may sanely expect an apparent net balance in our favor on merchandise transactions of three billlons in any one year, “It is alike impossible and undesirable that these things continue. It is impos- sible for no other reason than because the world has not the power to pay any one nation such vast sums for any long period in addition to the waste of war. The nations are not spending their in- comes in our markets, but their capital, and vast as it s, there are limits to which the continuance of the processes is undesirable, for it would make us the midas among the nations and produce & moral overstrain that would be danger- ous.” PUT YOUR THINKING CAP ON Did You Ever Hear of an Indlan ¥aving Cornst——The Why and Wherefore. ““The aboriginal Indlan who wrapped hides about his feet and tied them there to resist the winter's rigors showed that he had a more intelligent regard for his hard-worked pedals than the woman of today who toddles about on high-heeled, pointed-toed shoes. You never read of an Indian having corns or any other foot trouble, do you? Thus spoke Dr. Maurice J, Lewl in the course of an interview in the New York Tribune. Dr. Lewi is an authority on chiropod. “Why, here in our clinic every evening,' continued Dr. Lewi, “nearly two-thirds of our patients are women. There are several reasons for this Women nat- urally have more pride in their appear ance than men and want uneightly joints straightened and so on, and again, men are not ordinarilly given to the gro- tesquely shaped shoes that the manufac- turers have been turning out by the million pairs for female consumption particuarly during the last few years since the dancing craze struck the coun- try “With heels ralsed two or three inches from the ground, toes all crushed into a little ball by a short vamp, a sole that is too thin and a shank that is absolutely rigld, is it any wonder that afte fow months' hard usage the foot rebels and drives the owner to seek relief from a chiropodist ? “The revived craze for ice skating calls for low-heeled, broad-toed shoes, and while these are the nearest to ideal foot- wear when properly constructed, it is found that they cause much discomfort to feet unaccustomed to them. “The reason is not far to seck. Con- | stant pounding along on three-inch heels has so contracted the wmuscles of the sprayed-out toes that when the heel is let down to somewhere around o normal level, the toes drawn back and the knees straightened, the unused muscles cry out at the unfamiliar motions “Neverthcless, foot eovering of soms sort is imperative in this climate and in the city, and If a shoe must be worn, the moderately low-hecled, broad-toed va- riety is is the one hest calculated to give comfort and service. If such shoes were universally worn nine-tenth of the foot aillments of the day would disappear, most of the chiropodists would go out of business and there would be little work for schools of chiropody. “‘Besides vicious shoes, the cause of much foot discomfort is badly made stockings with thick ribs and seams in the wrong place. If in addition these happen to be a halfsize too short, the results are most unhappy to the wearer If they are too long they will wrinkle and irritate the tender skin beneath and lo! a little calosity will appear, sent out by nature to act as & buffer.

BRITISH THE MORE COMPLEX $4f‘nrvu,mnd»n.e of the Associated Press.) MANCHESTER, Fngland, Jan. 1.—The ‘h\l‘dl- and defects of the English sys- {tem of education formed the subject of | & recent lecture here by Vice Chanecellor M. E. Sadler of Leeds university, who spoke of the English, the American and the German as the three great repre- sentative types, each typical of a differ- ent point of view. Germany stands for unity based on the state, the United States for variety based on the individual and the British empire for an attempt at moral unity based partly on individual experience, partly on Inherited tradition and partly on adminis- trative organization, sald Prof. Sadler All three face the same human problem, and each has learned from the other two. But Germany and the United States work on simpler theories and have the advantage of a simpler aim. The British view is the more complex, and British education when it falls below its best Is less effective in accomplishing its aim than the others. British education, especlally glish at its best, is stronger than its rivals in the development of personal character. The care that the Germans have lavished in intellectual attalnments and the Americans have spent in fusing together the diverse olements of their population has been given in England to questions of personal conduct and char- acter. British schools have been at least a8 successful as the others in fostering the will to sacrifice life and limb 4n times of national peril. But they have not been as successful as the German in producing the conviction that daily sacri- fice must be made by the individual for the welfare of the community. On the Intellectual side, Prof. SBadler found that with certain brilllant exceptions, British education is feeble as compared with the German, but not as with the American. The gravest defect in Britlsh education, according to the lecturer, is the absence of an exacting standard in the training of the mind as contrasted with the train- ing of conduct. As the result, the im- portance of genera] knowledge and the value of pure science as applied to the needs of life and industry is not appre- |clated. The capricious and casual way in which parents select schools, without understanding the needs of their chil- dren; the failure of the schools to stimu- late the intellectual interests of boy nd | girls of average capacity, which results in a wastage of the mental powers of the nation and indifference toward science alike in industry, public administration and domestic management HOSPITAL PROVIDED FOR WOUNDED ARMY DOGS BBERLIN, van. 7.—(By Wireless to Say- ville.)~The dogs of the army hospital service have had a hospital provided for them in Jena and already a number of dog patients have been treated there for wounds and various ailments.

Suce | IT WAS A WHALE OF A YARN! Captain of the Windjammer 1'-"-[ How Shipwrecked Sallors Were Saved. Was it a nightmare of some Dutch painter? Well, it looked Iike one, but really was an old square rigged ship— blunt bows, and paint was only a mem- ory. It came to anchor in the bay some days ago—the Lena Opfergeld, of Am- sterdam. The captain, short, goo! natured and brown as mahogany, spoke English well, as most of the Dutch can when they come in contact with the world. Nothing ever gets by the Duteh. And the captain hove his boarding irons onto a tasty glass of schnapps, “Well, you we were at Batavia, Sumatra,” mused the captain, “taking on a cargo of tabacco spice and miscel- laneous stuff, when we received orders to go to Melbourne, Australia, then to Honolulu and fill out our cargo and round the Horn to New York, “We started in good shape, and all went well untll we were about longitude 130 west, latitude 20 south, when the winds seemed to glve out and we only barely moved. Friday night the animals got uneasy—we had a dog and cat for luck—and the barometer dropped like lead. We made everything snug and tight, soon we were running before the wind under bare poles to the southwest. There was a small coral island ahead, surrounded by barrier reefs, and the fsland itself an atoll, with water inslde. “All we could do was to run ahead of the wind, and by some chance we entered the open roadway into the enclosed bay and in a few minutes had an anchor out and by good luck had a good hold. “The next morning is cleared up—no breeze and a dead calm again. Early in the day a boat made from the shore, and, believe me, there was Robinson Crusoe and three Fridays—only they were Portuguese—and all of them were good pictures for a ecire Our cook could speak Portuguese, and soon we had their story. “Captain Friday, as we chose to call him, related his story, which, shortened up, was as follows “We left Honolulu' sald Captaln Fri- di ‘in & two-masted schooner for a cruise among the islands to gather copra and shells, 1t was the old story—a Kale and & wreck. Out of a crew of seven four suceeded in getting to the island, and there was little there except brack- sh water and a few walms, Food wi scarce, except shellfish and fish.' “Caplain Fridov weas a man of educa ion and a botanist, so was able to use quite a lot of edible scaweeds for food “We were fortunate In having sa a lot of the wresk of the schooner— pumps, some barrels, hose, sails, etc but lost all our compasses, also eur chronometers, and to try to reach un- known parts was foolhardy. ‘After some months had passed and no salls in sight to get away, fate blew cne good thing our way—another big gale, and to our surprise next day we found a big cow whale and a calf with her. | We knew we had meat for at least some time. We decidea to kill the calf and dry the meat, which is very much like coarse beet and very nourishing. The water in +he lagoon was not more than seven fath- oms deep, and while the old cow could swim around the island for some miles she seemed to mise the opening to the sea. After lots of work we managed to kill the calf and get the meat dried for future use. ““The old cow seemed very much wor- ried over the loss of the young one and came each evening to the shallow cove, with & good beach, where we had killed the calf, and we noticed that she would isak & lot of good milk from her overful udder. “ “The second day we succeeded in sav- ing a lot of the milk by using a rubber hose with one of the pumps at the other end, and would fill from two to five bar- rels each day. So we had plenty of good fresh milk and cream, and in a short time we had butter in plenty, but could not make cheese, lacking knowledge and trom |of one | & #cissors and toe hold. | with all {nformation in rennet to do so * “This milking of the whale seemed to afford her great relief, and somehow to take the place of the calf, far as her feelings were soon she concerped, and Although the story is officially denied the Rourse Garette's corre- 0f Hever Castle| in Germany, . spondent claima that he is in possession LONDON.

HASTINGS & HEYDEN, 1614 HARNEY STREET, Advance (This Is Talk No. 11 of a Series on ‘‘The True Story of Real Estate.’’) Not to Sell--But to Serve” There are people who are inclined to discount the statements a real estate man makes about any ' property. *“‘Oh,” they say, ‘‘he is trying to sell me a house.” As a matter of fact, the reliable, progressive real estate man does not make his sole aim to sell to you. Heg is trylng to serve you, / The established real estate man will not sell yon 7 a house that you cannot afford, or one that is not suitable to you for any other reason, He has too much at stake. / If he does not have a property such as you re- quire in his own lists, he will refer to the properties listed by his fellow brokers to find the one best suited to your needs, If you are not ready to buy, he will tell you. Among representative brokers it is considered a dis- grace to have a property “‘come back™ and they will not sell where this is a possibility, / All the important facts about real estate, that he has learned through years of experience, the broker puts at your command, He realizes that he is a professional manp, in the personal relation that be bears to his client. Many people, today, look to their real estate broker for advice with as much confidence as they do to their attorney or to their family physician. As a result, the real estate man is making him- self worthy of this confidence. Leading real estate wen of this and many other cities have formulated a code of ethics, just as severe as those of the doctor or lawyer. These ethics clearly define the duties of the broker to his client; the duties of the broker to the prospective buyer, and the duties of the broker to his fellow broker. Taken together, they form your strongest protee- tion against dissatisfaction in any real estate trans- action. You get the benefit of this protection whenever you buy or sell property by consulting with an es- tablished, reliable real estate firm, E. R. BENSON, C. ¥, HARRISON, G, G, WALLACE, Cowmittee.
