Want More Cars—Students of the University of Omaha who live within the limits of crosstown car line have complained to President Jenkins that they are unable to get to classes regu- larly on time because crosstown cars are so crowded as to make it almost impossible to board them. The com- plaints are made mostly by those who have 8 o’clock classes. Because of the crowded cars the time schedule is not kept and this often is a cause of their lateness. The students wish that more cars were placed on that line. Andirons for Christmas—Sunderland’s. Damage Suits Taken To the Federal Court A number of important suits agajnst the Rock Island Railroad company have been finally transferred from-the Pottawattamie county district court| to the federal court. The suit of Ar-| thur C. Storz of Omaha asking $10,» 000 damages for the death of Mrs. Storz, who was killed on the Wood- bury avenue crossing on the evening of June 8 last, when her sister, Mrs. Bartlett, of Omaha, was also killed, when their automobile was struck by a Rock Island passenger train, was among the nuinber. Another was the action of Peter Larsen, asking $15,000 for the death of his wife, killed by a switch crew at the South.Seventh street erossing while she was' réturn- ing from the grocery carrying food | intended for her husband’s supper, The suits were taken from the state court by the railroad. 3 The Milwaukee railroad also took into the federal court the “action brought by the county board and the Minden, Neola and Norwalk drainage district to enforce the assessments of the Mosquito creek drainage ditch. T'he railroad company filed a claim for $21,500 damages for right-of-way and other expenses connected with the es- tablishment of the ditch and was al- lowed $350. The railroad appealed to the district court and the county began suit.

CIVIC LEAGUE IS HELPING, Where are the food-distributing centers that serve Omaha's 200,000 people?> Where are they with refer- ence to the bulk of the population?| How much duplication is there in| many sections of the city are there where service is hard to get? These are questions that are to be answered by means of a comprehen- be on exhibit in the court house De- | cember 13 to 23, in connection with | other exhibits the City Planning board is to have there at the time. George T. Morton, chairman of the city planning board, told of some things | this exhibit is to contain in a talk| before the directors of the Civic league at the Commercial club rooms at noon. ! | That H. C. of L. The map of distributing centers is! expected to be of great interest in| connection with the live issue of the; high cost of living. [ Everybody knows that from four to pass his door every morning. That is duplication, and one of the items that enters into high cost. Grocers’ wagons of a half dozen competing | stores cover the same territory and duplicate. The City Planning board does not know whether it can do any- thing about all this or not, but it will at least have a map that will shaw | where all these wagons start from. Mr. Morton also told the Civic league about the plans for widening Twenty-fourth street and other work planned by the board. At the next meeting of the Civic league directors the league will have under discussion the various phases | of the high cost of living. Secretary | Stanley Rosewater will collect what information he can in the meantime on the subject, being glad to get sug-1 gestions by mail or orally from any-| one who has a phase of the subject that might be of interest.

It all started o a mistake in names, as far as officials can ascer- tain at this time. Alva A. Baldridge, | a Lincoln, Neb, salesman, came to Omaha and took out a marriage li- cense with the avowed intention of| wedding Miss Arline Daniels, one of the prettiest of the ‘crop of maidens at Decorah, la. Miss Daniels has a| twin sister by the name of Irene “Cupid” Stubbendorf got the names entered on the marriage license rec- ords as “Alva A. Aldridge and Irene Daniels.” The given names of the twin sist 3 sound so much alike that the migtake went unnoticed at the clerk of the county court’s office and at the parsonage of Rev. J. A. Max- well, who performed the marriage OMAHA SUNDAY BEl Have to Swear ceremony From Mr. Aldridge married his intended bride's twin sister, though in Told ct Miss Arline Daniels, his wife, [t married to him. The bridegroom discovered the mistake and wrote to local county officials Friday. After counsulting several attorneys and members of the judiciary, Clyde Sundblad, clerk of the county court, has decided that Mr. Aldridge, the twin sisters and the officiating pastor must appear at the court house and aid in unraveling the freak case Miss Irene Daniels, who was married in name to her twin sister's be- trothed, is at home in Decorah; Mr Aldridge and his bride, on the rec- ords here as his wife's twin sister, are in Lincoln. It may be necessary for the county court to take some action; the pres ent records possibly will be cflaced and the couple married over again. The majority of attorneys at the court house on the last day of the week declared that the case is unique and without a parallel. Wil | Lessen All Crime| Dr. A. O. Hunt spoke on a free dental dispensary, at the Commercial club at noon. “All the dentists of Omaha want is a chance and a place to give away their services to the| children in the care of teeth,” said| Dr. Hunt. He declared that care of the teeth had a tendency to cut down | the number of epidemics, and Miss| Ruth Freeman of Chicago upheld him | in this in a brief talk. She declared | a big per cent of tt ice in Chicago and other large cities could be avoid- ed if the children had better care of the teeth, as the brain was af- fected by bad teeth and careless mouth hygiene. g Mogy Bernstein, who took part in the symposium, declared that while he was probation officer in Omaha 50| per cent of the children that came before the court were in need of dental attention.

President J. L. Duff presided. “We must extend our operations to the state legislature,” Judge J. J. Breen, prime organizer and leading ‘sppkrsmau for the organization said. “You men would be surprised if [ were to enumerate some of the things that delegations of local citi- zens have done by meeting with com- mittees of the state rgpresentative | body. “If we are to obtain a sub-branch railroad station here we must brigg | the matter immediately before the | public and introduce it in the form {of a bill at the next meeting of the ‘stfne. legislature. The railway com- missioner will undoutedly be inter- | ested, and will officially act on re- | | quest of the state body.” The need of a new depot was commented on with vigor by Vin- (cent Vasek, wall known local dry goods merchant, who is a heavy tax- | payer. Mr. Vasek spoke of the need |for a solid organization of taxpay- |ers which would stand for improve- ments here. President Duff and Mr. Breen re- ported that they had interviewed of- ficials of the' Burlington railroad in | quest of action of the proposed build- ing of a' new railroad station. The officials they said, were favorable to | the idea and although not promising anything definite left the impression that they would sooner or later act | favorably.
