She returned to consciousness today after 43 hours under influence of a sedative with no indications of the ailment which has bothered her for nine weeks. Dr. H.

H. Burroughs who administered the sedative after dozens of remedies had been tried, said he would take nothing for granted until effects of the sedative are entirely worn off. But so far, Phyllis has not "hicked" once. At, C. SMITH "Vice-President and Telegraph Editor A.

Discussing the proposed "beauty" contest to be conducted this year by the Lincoln Fall Festival, sometimes referred to as the Nebraska State Fair, the editor of the Falls City Journal says: "The state fair board is determined to stage another beauty contest at the state fair this year in spite of the sorry mess and the unfavorable publicity which grew out of the last one. The fair board, no doubt, feels that it is not responsible if young women who compete in the beauty pageant later involve themselves in situations which have an unsavory or ridiculous tinge. But experience has shown that a very high percentage of young women, who win out in these contests eventually become involved in experiences and situations which have a twdry aspect to say the least and the reason is to be found in the false fame and adulation given to impressionable young will OKiXKJKlus Mechanical Manaeer LEONARD R.

After reading the views of that Falls City editor one must reach the fair conclusion that he writes from the standpoint of a lover of Nebraska young womanhood, while the Lincoln management of the State Fair usually acts while thinking of Lincoln crowds and gate and trade receipts.

AUDITOR! UM TO CLOSE PR0 GRUB Omaha Speakers Have Busy Day in Visiting All City Schools TRUTH AND OTHER THINGS. There may have been some doubts that the summer season was really on the way its' been hard to throw off the shackles of winter and a cold spring. But any doubts were shattered yesterday when into the office of the Daily Telegram came that sure harbinger of a brand new season the advance press representative of an honest-to-goodness circus! And the circus is coming to Columbus! That's the thrilling news divulged by Justus Edwards, publicity man for Russell Bros.

School Visits It was a very busy day for Mr. Zerzan and Mr.

I hope Jim will win the prize. Violently the enemies of President Roosevelt have been protesting against the president's action in "spending money like a drunken sailor" in effort to carry relief to the needy unemployed. Today they are changing their tune. Now that the president has announced that the big spending is soon to cease comes another violent criticism from those localities which have received public money for local improvements, giving employment to the needy ones who otherwise might have been a burden of expense to the town and county taxpayers.

Now the critics are lambasting our poor president because of his announcement that he intends to curtail the spending of relief money. The situation would be amusing where it not that the past criticism of the president because of his efforts to relieve distress, and the present criticism because he announces the spending will be curtailed, has been and is so shamefu. The official board of the Lincoln Fall Festival, sometimes referred to as the Nebraska State Fair, has decided to expectorate in the face of public sentiment in Nebraska by pulling off another of those disgraceful "beauty" contests. Some may ask what right a country yokel has to say what manner of entertainment the Lincoln Fall Festival crowd shall provide for the annual sucker show? Good right, it seems to me, for indeed the people of Nebraska have already invested a hundred thousand or more dollars in that Lincoln Fall Festival property, sometimes referred to as the Nebraska State Fair. But let's talk a little about the "beauty" show.

Perhaps my own talk might be regarded in some quarters as the talk of a citizen unfriendly to Lincolnesque policies and doings. Indeed I am not unfriendly. Why, in Lincoln live three of my bosomest friends John Thompson, the better part of the Lincoln Journal, Jimmy Lawrence, the Lincoln Star's brightest twinkle, and Charley Bryan, one of the best governors Nebraska ever had, and who may possibly secure my permission to once again become our governor. However, in order to dismiss the element of prejudice on my part let me ask all Nebraskans to read something written by one of Lincoln's best friends on the subject of the nasty "beauty" contests. The editor of the Falls City Journal lives in Lincoln trade territory.

He may not be successfully listed as more age of 15 minutes at each building. City Superintendent R. R. McGee ties that would make the circus man of yore open-eyed with envy in these respects our circus is definitely a part of today." It is just about time for someone to remove the growing impression that the ideal marriage is a species of glorified strip-tease act. Marriage as an institution has taken many a beating, in the long course of history; right now it is taking a worse kicking around from its friends than its enemies ever tried to hand it.

Just recently, for instance, a musical comedy queen announced that chorus girls make the best wives. Why? Because they are always neat, trim, and seductive; their hair is always waved and their noses are always powdered; and their slips never, never show. Shortly before that, we had a national picture magazine offering a series of photos designed to show wives how to disrobe without shocking friend husband's esthetic sensibilities, the pictures being posed by some blond esthetic from a burlesque show. And, paving the way for these demonstration, we have had whole reams of advice in the women's magazines, lovelorn columns, and similar spots, all piping in the. same tune.

If your husband leaves you, or starts chasing butterflies in somebody else's back yard, it's your own fault. You must always look your best, you must always be romantic and alluring and attractive, you must be a siren on a 24-hour basis. If you aren't a hotter number than the blond down at the office, the blond down at the office will hook the poor fish just as sure as you are a foot high. And so on and so on. And it is about time that someone inquired whether the average hubby can possibly be as great a jackass as this line of talk would lead, one to think.

Just what one of these dainty sirens would look like after she had done an ironing for a family of four on a hot August day is something the advisers never seem to touch on. Would her nose be still as well powdered and her slip as invisible after a day of bed-making, dish-washing, cooking, and keeping two irrepressible infants out of the coal bin? And when she arises, sleep-drugged, for the third time in one night to change the baby and give him his bottle, will she be as careful as ever about presenting that romantic and girlish appeal to her better half? Now the great American husband may not be a mental giant, but he is generally smart enough to figure out things pretty sensibly. He is no Robert Taylor himself, when you get right down to it, nor does he expect his wife to be a Claudette Colbert at all times and seasons. He may have moments when he sniffs the spring breeze wistfully and dreams of Tahitian maidens but the little woman, too, has her day-dreams and what of it? Human beings aren't quite so stupid as all this be-a-siren advice would lead you to suppose. Oh, some of them are, of course and they deserve to get exactly what they do get, which is unending disillusionment.

But most of them are fairly well-balanced. So can't we have a little rest from this advice which assumes they are all dolts?

For she recognized the writing, as scrawled and hurried as it was, as Betty's. And the postmark was Eureka! Opening the envelope, she drew out a piece of cheap notepaper which had obviously been tightly crumpled before being folded and inserted.

The penciled scrawl was dim and smeared but there were characteristic letter formations. Martha was certain that this message, at last, was from Betty Haynes herself. "It's I can hardly make it out. Can I have a little more light, please?" Reluctantly the woman turned another switch, while Martha smoothed the paper flat upon the table. Time after time she tried to follow the thought of the few penciled lines after the more clearly legible "Dear Martha But the best she could make of it silently in the coupe trying to remember, trying to collect her BEGIN HERE TODAY" MARTHA I1UITTAI and BETTY HAYNES pick up GERRY A KA handsome young: hiteh-hiker, on their wy np the wert coast to demonstrate the new Airspeed trailer.

Finally, en route north from San Francisco, Neal tells Martha he loves her.

He sits next to the "speakingest" man in the senate, Robert M. Armstrong of Auburn.

Both are popular with their colleagues and the working press Carlson for the example he sets and Armstrong because he always has something to say. A freshman in the legislature, Armstrong stepped into one of the toughest jobs in the assembly. As Chairman of the committee on enrollment and review, he's on the floor a great deal of the time steering bills through the intricate procedure and explaining why some legislator's amendment, drawn in the heat of debate, won't fit into the original bill. "Flyspeck Committee" They call it the flyspeck committee because one of its jobs is to put commas, periods and colons in the right places. Actually George Mann, bill drafter, does most of that work but the responsibility is Armstrong's.

Also, Armstrong did much of the detail work on several intricate and important bills. With Sen. P. L. Ca-dy, of Fremont, he rounded up a dozen divergent views on the problem of bindweed control, defended the truck regulatory act from snipers in committee of the whole, toiled on the highway safety patrol measure.

None of those proposals has become a law yet but all of them probably will be before adjournment. Second least talkative legislator is P. J. (Pat) McMahon of Omaha. He's made only one speech in support of a merit system for Omaha policemen and firemen.
