Anyway, he tried it, and the result was pictures etched with such clearness as greatly facilitated the study ot the ground photographed. Many experiemnts were made. Height, and angle, light ana1 shade, had to be carefully studied. But the pictures finally obtained presented objects in such high relief that it was possible' to estimate height within a few inches, and depth of trench or dugout so accurately that the tanks could go forward with almost the same certainty as it coverel ground previously traversed. Camou flage, too, stood revealed.

It is not unlikely that the parlor table will once more welcome old Rip Van Winkle Stereoscope, for only by photograph will many of us see the scenes of war and reconstruction, and this rejuvenated old friend can show them to us just as much better than the ordinary photograph as is could in the days when no home was complete without one. DIES, DEMOCRAT, HAS AX INNING Takes a Hot Fling at the Administration, Leaving the House Representative Martin Dies, of Texas, saying a voluntary farewell to service in the House, paid his respects to the administration and the Democratic party, in the following terms: Mr. Chairman, when members talk about loaning money to the farmers of this country, and talk about Democrats and Republicans, it makes aa honest nonpartisan man laugh. Tim best thing you can do for the far mers of this country is to let alone and quit spending money and taxing the eternal life out of them. (Laughter and applause.) I wish the farmers of this country and the taxpayers of our land might have a return of the old democratic and republican theory that government is not created to support the people, but that it is a creature to be supported by the people.

The great mistake we are niakiAj my friends, here now is that we are practicing nypocricy upon the people We are leading them to believe that the government can support them and lift them by their boot straps out of their financial difficulties when, as honest men, we should say to them that all that the government can do is 'to protect their life and their liberty and tax them to support the government. I have been here ten years, and I am going out now A niemb'er. And voluntarily, too. Mr. Dies.

Yes; and I will tell you what you have done, and I hope you will take it in good part: have taken the fairest and best government ever known among men and you are making it into the most de-slpicable socialism. You took the American people at a time when they believed their government and you are teaching them hour by hour and day by day to expect that their government shall support them. Instead of telling our magnificent army, when the boys are coming back from France and are being demobilized to go back to their jobs and engage in their former Industries, you are lead ing them to believe that the govern ment shall take it upon Itself as a duty to support them. Tearing Down My friends, you are tearing down the greatest government, the greatest democracy, the world has ever seen, and you are building up in its stead the poorest fabric of socialism that history can record. Is it your Intention to help the people? No.

You will not help the people unless you tell them that the government has one duty to the citizen, and that 'it to protect his life and property and give him an equal and fair race in this world. (Applause.) And you are teaching iim that the duty of the government is to keep him. My beloved country! I do not know; we are losing the greatest republic the world has ever seen. Talk about international democracy! It is being swamped a- midst nebulous phrases and unintel ligible jargon. Would to God the President of the United States would get on the Tennessee and come home and preserve this republic (applause) rather than meddle longer with the politics of Europe.

We are casting the lot of the people of America, the peace and destinies of our country into what? Into the hotchpotch of the quarrels and proverty and woe ot and destruction of Europe. You konw, when this is all over, my friends, will be out jiome farm-, lng, and you who are left here will read Washington Farewell Address with more respect than you have ever read it before. (Applause.) FULL LIST OP COMMITTEES OP THE WOMAN'S AUXILIARY Following is a list of the committees of the Woman's Auxiliary, as appointed by its president, Mrs. A. G.

Allen. It is the wish of the president that the chairmen call their commutes together as soon as "possible so they can -discuss and plan their work for the year. The chairman ot the different committees will then bring In their reports to the partners, has received his factory number and (predicts tlhjat in the near future he will have a growing enterprise in Deadwood. Mr. Herman is expecting a cigar maker in a few days to help him out as his former partner, will leave for Denver in a tew' days.

Under a resolution introduced by Representative Daniel R. Anthony, of Kansas, no further expenditures can be made by the Wfcr Department on cantonments or military training grounds for new construction and no additional real estate can be purchased without the specific authority of Congress and the necessary appropriation. The only exception is made in the case where the purchase of land upon which cantonments are already located would be more eco nomical to the Government than the payment of rent or damage. Prohibit Drugs The liquor Interests are right in maintaing that as liquor goes out, "dope" comes in. That has been the general experience inthis country, Restrictive drug laws have lessened the substitution, but not changed the tendency.

Men and women with the alchohol habit, suddenly deprived of alchohol, find strong temptation in habit-forming drugs. It is quite possible that the recent growth of prohibition has a renewed demand for these dealy drugs, just at a time when state and national prohibition has begun to make headway against them. But the remedy is not to fall back on alchohol. That argument, while understandable from the ibusimessi viewpoint of the liquor men, is wholly illogical. Yielded to, it would leave us with two great evils instead of one.

The thing to do, of course, is to abolish both. Unquestionably, of the two vices, drug-addiction is worse than drinking. It has a more devastating effect on character, health and efficiency, makes a stronger appeal to its victims and it is harder to conquer. While rejoicing, then, in the approaching doom of strong drink, the nation must recognize the new menace, and insist on measures for overcoming it. Using Wood Waste The ceiver gentlemen who formed a comipany two centuries ago for melting down shavings and sawdust into boards without knots simply lived too soon.

A chemist of Cam bridge, points out that the eery same wood wastes today are be ing made into stout paper boards. The sawdust of certain kinds of wood is also being made into alcohol. Two plants, one in South Caro lina and one in Louisiana, are now manufacturing 3,000 gallons of ul chohol apiece every day from the sawdust and chips that would otherwise be wasted in the pine regions near by. Other plants in the vel- low pine districts will be put in operation. The next step in conserving wood waste will probably be accomplished In the next few years.

That is the saving of a great waste of smoke. It is said that 60,000 cords of wood a day go up the nations' chimneys in the form of unburnt carbon. Such figures make the waste that has gone on in the past seem appalling. Chemists are at work solving the problem of conserving all this lost material. In the meantime, we have learned much in the past year about conservation In small things in the daily business and domiestic routine.

The nation has been learning a wholesome thrift that saves by us ing. It is a good sign that the dom estic economies and the big econo mies of industrial and natural resources are going forward at the same time. Photographic Rip Van Winkles Everybody remembers the old steroscope that used to be on the parlor table, with the Rodgers Group, and the red plush photograph album. But not everybody knows that in this ultra-modern war of airplanes, submarines and wireless, the good, old-fashioned steroscope, like the be loved and true-hearted, came to visit us once more. The stereoscope, it will be remem- berede, is an optical device by which two almost identical photographs printed side by side are looked at thru a double-lensed glass, with the result that the objects presented stand out in clear relief.

One of the most modern improvements in the art of war has been the taking of aerial views of the enemy lines, trenches and fortifications, men being especially trained for this new est branch ot (photography. This was the last word In up-to-date, not to say up-in-the-air, picture-taking.

PARAMOUNT" "ALWAYS SOMETHING WORTH WHILE.

Deadwood Theatre TONIGHT 10c ADMISSION 25c NORMA TALMADGE in her latest Select Picture Omaha A Banking Center OMAHA is one of the wealthiest cities in the United States in proportion to population. Although there are thirty-three larger cities, there are only eleven with larger bank clearings. Omaha was sixteenth in bank clearings in 1916, fourteanth, in 1917, and twelfth in 1918. The average bank deposits for every family in Omaha is 12,500. Omaha's position in-world finance enables the city to be of great banking service to the peopla of a wealthy agricultural empire of which it is the natural gateway.
