(3SERVATION CLAS§ WILL PLEASE STAND Fore Are Some More Queries to Test Power of Noticing Things You Sece. CAN YOU ANSWER 'EM ALL? By A. R. GROH. You showed a very gratifying in- terest, folks, in that article last week testing your powers of observation. I thank you. It was a bright idea, I admit. I bow and again I thank you. Some people reported that they an- swered nine out of the ten questions, Others couldn’t answer more than five. One man, who must have been our well-known and highly-respected fel- low-citizen, Mr. Careful Observer, de- clared that he answered all ten of them—answered 'em right, too, by hokey. So, in response to popular demand, we offer for your kind approval, la- dies 'n’ gen'lemen, ten more questions to test your powers of observation, Each of these questions is harder than the other nine. Yet you have passed all the things inquired about many, many times. They are all on Farnam street between Fourteenth and Eighteenth streets. Here They Are. Where, within the !Joundaries men- tioned, are the following: 1. Ten grotesque faces and two gar- goyles carved in the stone above a main_entrance. 2, Bee hives carved on the corner of a building about thirty feet above the ground. . (That one ought to be easy.) s 3. A colossal bronze eagle standing on a rock above its nest and knllin‘g & serpent which was eating the eagle’s young. - 4. %he name and initials of an Oma- ha pioneer in big letters on the round- ed corner of a building, g 5. Cherubs sitting in floral swings. This 1s on the terra cotta front of 2 building. g 6. A canoe hanging out in front of a store, ¥ 7. A building with carvings of the sun, the moon, scales of justice and an cagle on its walls. 8. A bank with window boxes full of greenery. 9, What ‘material are the walls of the city hall built of? 10. What material are the walls of The Bee building built of? - Pretty hard list, eh? Afraid you won't pass? Well, now, mark yourself 10 for each Q“G“iofl you can answer cor-|a rectly. Here are the answers: 1. Gargoyles and faces over en- trance of city hall. 2.

B snmmenbchbamibchadehutat SR lican appeal in a purely partisan spirit.” Mr. Hughes defined a true Ameri- can_as follows: “The man who is a true American is one who rejoices in the victories of our institutions in giving oppor- tunities in which everybody shall have a share, not a selected few, but the diffusion of prosperity among' the great mass of people in this country “It is idle to say that we cannot go ahead because there may be abuses, We can cut out the abuses and go ahead at the same time, “When a party is in power, the hest thing it can do for its own good is to demonstrate that it holds the standard of public administration nb?vs Ahe petty demancs of partisan- ship. hgr. Hughes spoke for only twenty minutes at the suggestion of the throat’ specialist, who accompanied him. The nominee’s voice was husky and showed the effects of constant speaking in the open air.

VILLA STRUCK HARD BLOW AT CHIHUARUA Bandit Chief Captures Facto Artillery and Loads of Ammunition. De REPORT BY GENERAL BELL Washington, Sept. 21.—An official account of Villa’s raid on Chihuahua City last Saturday received at the War department today from Briga- dier General Bell at EI Paso says the bandit chief captured some of Car- ranza's artillery and sixty automobile loads of arms and ammunition, liber- ated 200 prisoners from the peniten- tiary and made off after being joined by from 1,000 to 1,500 soldiers of the arranza garrison. According to General Bell's infor- mation Villa himself went to the gov- ernor's palace and made a speech from the balcony after his forces had captured the palace, the penitentiary and federal buildings. The report reveals the fact that on September 14 Villa sent a letter to General Trevino, commander at Chi- huahua, saying he would be in the city at 3 p. m, Saturday to “shake hands.” General Bell expresses the opin- ion that the raid was completely suc- cessful and that Villa accomplished even more tl he said he would. Trevino's pe guard deserted him, it appears, and in the confusion many government soldiers were killed by their own comrades. Text of Bell's Report. General Bell's report follows: “Evidence increases to show that Villa was completely successful in his attack Saturday upon Chiluahua an accomplished all and more than he said he would do. There is diversity of opinion and statements as to the number of men with which he entered Chihuahua, Some reports state he only had about 500, while others give him 1,500, but all agree that he was able to secure possession of the peni- tentiary, the governor's palace and the federal buildings and hold them for several hours and all this with a Carranza garrison at Chihuahua. which some place at not less than 6,000, Liberated over 200 prisoners, secured and cairied away more than sixteen automobile loads of arms and ammunition under an escort of de- serting Carranza troops, He left Chihuahua with from- 1,000 to 1,500 more men than he entered with, “Villa retired leisurely and without molestation, The firing by Tre- vino's artillery occurred after Villa troops had withdrawn, Villa Sends Letter, “On Sertembcr 14 Trevino received letter from Villa stating that he, Villa, would be in Chihuahua td shake hands with Trevino on the 16th and he hoped that he would have a suit- able reception for him, that he might be hungry and would like to have something to eat, “On the 15th of September it was reported that Villa personally entered Chihuahua was seen by many of his friends_there and reconnoitered the city. Of course, he was in dllfluln. On the night of the 15th the Villistas approached Chihuahua from'a camp which he had maintained for two days within twenty-two miles of that city. After Villa columns had secured po: session of the penitentiary, the gov- s palace and federal buildin himself went to the governo into the main balcony, d played his face and made a short speech, which in substance was as follows: What Villa Said. “Viva Mexico, You do not have your lib- erty, I will give you your liberty, for I am your brother. am going to return In a fow days. “It appears that there had been a banquet attended by most of Trevi- no's officers and that about 2 o'clock this banquet was finished and most of the otficers of the Carranza gar- rison were asleep. As soon as vino heard of the trouble he toward the governor’s palace, personal escort deserted him and went over to V! “The party that attacked the fed- eral building rode into the building on horseback and the guard there deserted to them. It is reported that many of the Carranza troops who were killed were killed by other Car- ranza troops, probably as a result of artillery firing from Santa Rosa hill.” Turkey Agrees to Red Cross Relief Work in Armenia Washington, Sept. 21.—~Turkey has yielded to diplomatic negotiations for an extension of American Red Cross work in Ottoman territory beyond the present limited operations in famine-stricken sections of Syria. The State department today notified Red Cross headquarters that the Turkish government had agreed to remove its restrictions and preparations were taken up at once for beginning a great relief campaign in co-operation with the Red Crescent society of Turkey. President Wilson, by proc- lamation, has set aside October 21 and October 22 for Armenian and Syrian relief days, and it is expected that the funds in hand will be largely increased by contritutions received then. Already in the sections where the Red Cross is operating, such co- operation has proved successful. About $200,000 has been sent on al- ready to the branches of the society at Constantinople, presided over by the American ambassador and the other at Beirut. Dangerous Bronchial Cough.

This Will Remove Hair or Fuzzy Growths (Toilet Tigs) A safe, certain method for ridding the skin of ugly, hairy growtas is as follows: Mix a paste with some pow- dered delatone and water, apply to hairy surface about 2 minutes, then rub off, wash the skin and the hairs are gone. This is entirely harmless and seldom requires repeating, but to avoid disappointment it is advis- able to see that you get genuine dela- tone.—Advertisement.

OMAHA HAS A GOOD CHANCE FOR BANK C. E; Herring Tells Concord Club Members Benefits to Community Enormous. MUST INTEREST INVESTORS Omaha stands a mighty good chance of getting one of the federal farm loan banks, Carl E. Herring told the members of the Concord club at the weekly meeting and luncheon of the organization at the Hotel Fontenelle at noon. Mr. Her- ring, as a special guest of the club, C.|gave an interesting ialk on the farm loan bank question, predicting to the Concordians that the benefits of the system to this part of the country will be enormous. He, however, qualified some of his statements by saying that many of the democratic party’s outbursts as to the farm loan bank proposition, while “beautiful,” “bunkum.” 5 The vast needs of the farmers in the matter of loans and the part they will play in the working out of the farm loan bank system were ex- plained by Mr. Herring. Appeal to Investor. An important phase of the farm loan banks, and one, he averred, must not he overlooked, is the standpoint of the investor. First of all, Mr. Herring pointed out, the farm lpan banks must aopeal to the investor. He declared that they must be satis- fied that the farm loan banks con- stitute the best channel for invest- ments before they will let loose of their money. The important investors of the country, he said, are in two classes, both of which are in the east—the insurance companies and the savings of the New England states. This week's meeting of the Con- cord club was one of the most large- ly attended of the year thus far. C. E. Corey acted as chairman. One of the entertainment diver- sions was a violin solo by W. L. Hetherington, a member of the club. People of Crete Revolt and Set Up Provisional Regime Paris, Sept. 21.—A revolution in the Greek island of Crete is reported in a Havas dispatch from Athens. The |. revolutionists are said to have pro- claimed a provisional government. Several revolutionary outbreaks in Greece have been reported since the |} entrance of Roumania into the war and the occupation by the Bulgarians of the eastern portion of Greek Mace- donia, which resulted in an agitation |; ] in favor of participation by Greece in the war. Last month revolutionists obtained control of parts of Greek |} Macedonia, near Saloniki, and pro- |} claimed a provisional government. The movement was said to be extend- ing, but further news was withheld by the censor. The Island of Crete, 150 miles long, with a population of something more than 300,000, is in the eastern Medi- terranean, sixty miles from the south- ern extremity of Greece, It is the former home of ex-Pre- mier Venizelos. Under the treaty ot peace between Greece and Turkey in 1913, the island was annexed by |- Greece.

MAYOR ASKS HOWELL T0 AID IN PAVING Metropolitan Water District| Will Not Sign Petitions for Street Improvements. QUESTION OF THE PAY Mayor Dahlman broke into the routine of the city council proceed- ings to express his mind regarding the arbitrary policy of the general manager of the Metropolitan Water district, yclept R. B. Howell. “Two women called at my office to ask why the Water board should not sign a paving petition for Nicholas street, Thirty-eighth to Forty-first streets,” said the mayor. “The Water board conmtrols the frontage at the Walnut Hill reservoir and I don’t understand why they can nold up public improvements in this man- ontal contained much Loe Will Not Sign. Assistant City Attorney TePoel ex- plained that the water works man- agement has steadfastly refused to sign petitions for public improve- ments on the theory that the prop- erty of the water district is not sub- ject to special taxes. Special taxes have been levied against water works property in several instances, but the assessments have not been paid. City Attorney Rine suggests that a suit should be started to establish tl.e merits or demerits of the conten- tion of General Manager Howell. In the case of the proposed Nicho- las street paving it will be impossible to secure a majority of front footage on the petition if the water man- ager does not “kick in” with his sig- nature.
