Jenks, Dean J. H. Tanco Rabbi Frederick Cohn and T. Sturgess are against killing unfit infants at birth. 3 Mrs. H. C. Sumney and K. L. Schreiber take an opposite view of this proposition. Mr. Sturgess, as a member of the advisory board of the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures, was asked for an opinion as to the advisa- bility of indorsing “The Black Stork,” a photoplay presentation of the sub- ject of killing the “unfits.” He wrote Omaha social workers for expressions. Mr. Sturgess is chairman of the Board of Public Welfare. His reply to the national board fol- lows: “Personally, I do not think it ad- isable for your committee to approve the photoplay “The Black Stork,” be- lieving that the alleged advantages to society at large will be offset by the damage that might be done through wrong impressions. It Is my belief that there is an increasing tendency to value human life too lightly. In my opinion, the strongest impression and the greatest influence of a photo- play of the character of “The Black Stork” would be stimulating to the growing tendency to regard lightly the value of human life. In other words, the total influence of this pho- toplay would be for evil and not for good at this stage in our social de- velopment. “L will leave to those who have ex- pressed their opinions to me to state more fully the reasons why this pho- toplay should not be passed by the national board.” Sleuths Seeking Men Who Stole the Roof from City Hall City commissioners, sitting as a committee of the whole, ordered an investigation into alleged thefts of copper sheeting from the roof of the city hall and materials being torn out in connection with remodeling of the municipal building. The contract for a new roof pro- vided that the city should receive all of the old copper, which is valued at nearly $2,000. Detectives from the police depart- ment will be assigned to trace the missing material. City Purchasing Agent Grotte re- ported the matter to the commission- ers. Three and One-Half Million Bushels of Grain Are Stored While receipts were" fairly heavy last week, grain stocks in storage in Omaha elevators decreased close to 750,000 bushels, as compared with Monday of last week, but were 1,234,- 000 bushels more, as compared with the corresponding date of one year ago. The following shows the bush- els in storage now and on this date last year: Now.

Mrs. Craighead Explains the Aims of the Newly Organ- ized North Omaha Con- sumers’ League. Co-operative buying and a munici pal market to lower the high cost of living were urged by Mrs. D. G Craighead, in explaining the aims of the newly-organized North Omaha Consumers' league. Mrs, Craighead's talk was given before the social sci- ence department of the Omaha \Wom- an's club Monday. “I do not believe in boycotting, though, of course, there will be less buying, because people cannot afford said Mrs. Craighegd “*What is the reason for the high cost of living? Who is te blame? What is the remedy? Is there anything the consumer can_do to lower the pric These are some of the questions we are striving to answer “Our plan is to organize leagues in different parts of the ci If enough women join they may bring pressure to bear on the market. \We haven’t a definite plan of action yet, but want suggestions.” A megting will be held Thursday evening fat the home of the president of the Consumers’ league, Mrs. Ver- non C. Bennett, 2733 Fowler avenue. Mrs. Bennett will speak on this subject next Sunday at a meeting of the Philosophical society Bean Soup Without the Beans is ‘ Now Served in Omaha Restaurants Bean soup without beans—that is what many restaurants in Omaha are now serving. There is a reason, for beans have climbed steadily in price, even faster than corn or wheat, until now they are selling at from 12! to 15 cents a pound. : If anyone were so rash as to desire to buy a whole bushel of navy beans he would probably be required to pay somewhere between $8 and $9 for it, if, indeed, the grocer would sell him that many in these days when there is so much danger that a man may be trying to corner the market. ing served. For years bean soup has been one of the very cheapest dishes at the restaurants. Bean soup could be had for a dime most anywhere. To- day it may still be had, but it has merely the flavor of the bean, while the beans themselves are religiously strained out and kept back in the gen- eral pot to flavor the bean soup for the next day. Of course, some of them become so soft from constant boiling that they will eventually mash up and slip through the strainet. This tends to keep up the flavor and makes it necessary once every few days to add another handful of beans to the pot to replenish the loss. Two and a half or three years ago beans sold as low as eight pounds for a quarter and one could get a bushel for $1.50 or $2. Thus they have gone up over 300 per cent in three years. Those who used to get eight pounds for a quarter now get two pounds for that money. Oatmeal has been climbing stead- ily. That staple breakfast dish has reached a price where it will soon be prohibitive also for many. About three years ago the companies pack- ing oatmeal in standard packages be- gan to cut down the size of the pack- ages. They did this just as the baker Advocates Co-Operative Buying to Combat Present High Cost of Living [JPON LIGHT TODAY So bean soup without beans is be-| THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5. 1916.

With a p rice on his head, Lafitte boldly entered the of- fice of Governor Claiborne and offered his sword and his services and those of his frecbooters to the Govern- ment of the United States. General Jackson accepted the services of Lafitte and his band, and one of the latter became famous as Dominique You, who afterward enter- tained General Jackson with true pirate hospitality and cheer.
