Baltzly. Rev. DR.. d. e. Jenkins, Rev

Mr.. Groh was born a missionary,

lad. While q youth at Roanoke col

missionary work among the colored
people In the jail. Later he went to
college in San Diego. Cal. and in
Canada, always being active in his
chosen work.
Accepts Mission Call.
While attending the Lutheran Theo-
logical seminary in Philadelphia an OPP
portunity came II him TO 80 to the Mis-
sionary school OF New York. This was
presided over by Mrs. whittemore. for
merly a society woman OF the metropolis,
a woman OF such strong faith that she
had built up the entire institution with
out taking 1 cent Of contributions. All
had come In response 20 her firm faith.
Mr. Groh was for a time tutor to her
children Then he and another man
travelled through Pennsylvania, holdins
tent meetings, and twenty years ago he
decided to go as missionary TO the most
neglected fields directly south Of this
country.
Though me was enthusiastically distin-
guished and could have had high posi-
lions In this country. with ease and com
fort Of civilization. he unhesitatingly
gave himself to this work.
Lives Primitive Lite.
Though he could have gone to the for
eiEn field with an assured salary from
some missionary board, he insisted on GO
INK literally without purse and without
scrip" And 30 he continued throughout
the score OF years.
His work was largely among the In
dams I'm the remote mountain villages OF
Honduras and Guatemala. the primitive
people. who han been almost entirely
neglected In missionary endeavor. He re-
turned to the United States only twice In
tho twenty years of his foreign work.
He went through several sieEes OF trop-

WOULD UNDO THE
CITY COMMISSION
South Side and Dundee Residents
Seek Legal Advice on Manner
to Perform Deed.
FIND WAY, BUT MUST WAIT YEAR

Are the people of Omaha satisfied
with the commission plan of city
government or do they want a
changer
The commission plan was adopted
for Omaha about four years ago and
has been operative since May 1919.
so the question raised is whether
now, after consolidation into Greater
Omaha the majority are Of the same
opinion as when they voted yes"
on the proposition. "
1t has come to- light that inter
ested parties, more particularly in
South Omaha and Dundee. who have
no representation on the present
commission because chosen before
the achievement of annexation. have
been seeking legal advice as to un-
doing the commission plan and going
back to the old system OF ward coun-
cilmen which would insure a member
from the annexed territory.
Find .One Provision.
Looking up the commission plan law
they have found a provision for city to
get out of the commission plan class in
the same manner that II got into II. The
section relating to the abandonment OF
the commission plan applies TO any city
which may have operated for more than
four years under the act and prescribes
the exact method Of procedure. A petition
must be presented signed BY qualified
electors OF the city equal TO rs per cent
OF the highest vote cast for any OF the
counoilmen Mt the last election, which in
the case Of Omaha, would take about a,OOC
names. The petition must be checked up
and verified by the city clerk and the
proposition submitted at a special election
In the form OF this question:
shall the city OF Omaha abandon It's
organization under the commission plan
law and become q city under the general
law Of the state governing cities OF the
metropolitan class7"
A majority Is sufficient 20 carry Tn,
proposition and n carried then at the next
succeeding general city election the voters
would choose again twelve councilmeu
from as many different wards instead OF
seven commissioners selected at large.
MuAt Wait Until May.
Those back OF the scheme admit that
they have met with this obstacle, that the
abandonment provided for under the com.
mission form law cannot be invoked be
fore May Of next year when the -four
years under the law will have been com.
pleted and. furthermore that IL they
should gain their point at special cleo.
ton held at that time they could moi
reap the benefit OF It in the form OF q
councilman TO represent either South
Omaha or Dundee before two years more
should elapse because the present In
cumbents would continue 70 serve out
their terms undiaturbed.
'Tt would be no trouble at all 20 re,
the required petition Of 1900 Nance" de.
clared a lawyer who has been advised OF
the move. More than that number could
be secured in south Omaha alone. A
doubt has been raised, however, whether
II IL worth while and whether more az.
fective action cannot be had In some othe,

Don't Be Monotonous.

In certain suburban town a young
housewife found when she started
housekeeping that she must order chick
ems of farmer. who would deliver them
on any day stated. She knew that her
husband disliked monotony, and she
thought of this plan: She ordered a
chicken for the third, the twelfth, the
twentieth and the twenty ninth of every
month. This arrangement was accept
able to the farmer, and her husband
never thought that chicken was monoto-
nous If 1t had been served to him every
Wednesday or every Thursday or every
any other day of the week. although he
was very fond OF chicken. he would soon
have tired of 1t.
a big house is often a great. assistance
to the busy housekeeper: and up to a
certain point it is admirable. But where
II reaches the point of producing mo-
notony. 1t In a mistake. For monotony
often leads to discomfort and even I'M
happiness
OF course. 1t is almost necessary to
have regular laundry and cleaning days,
and no one is made unhappy or even I'M
comfortable by the fact that each Mon
day morning means a siege with the
weeks laundry. But when the whole
family must look forward from one
weeks end to the next to a boiled din
ner' every Tuesday. to rice pudding
every Thursday. or even to chicken
every Sunday. living has lost much of
its charm For isn't part of the joy of
living produced by the uncertainty that
surrounds US?

TRICKS OF THE DRESSMAKERS.

The reason that the clothes many
people make have a homemade look
Is not usually because Of lack of ma
terials and implements. 1t is rather
because of lack of knowledge on the
part Of the home sewer. The profess
sional dressmaker has certain tricks
of workmanship, and she keeps up
with the changes In fashion by learn
ing a new set Of tricks each season.
Now, as so much depends on these
little tricks of the trade, il is we'll
worth tho time of the woman who
does much sewing to learn As many Of
them as she can.
Some of the fashion magazines con-
tain articles on home dressmaking.
and as rule these are highly help
full The perusal of a series of such
articles would arm the home sewer
with much useful knowledge.
Another way of learning about each
seasons tricks is to go about tho
shops. Look at the ready made
clothes on sale and study each ready
made garment you buy. If you buy
the materials with which you mako
your frocks in a certain shop. there
is no reason why you should not feel
at liberty to look at the clothes In
that shop, and then much more can he
learned by studying the displays In
the windows of all the shops.
This year the full skirt is little
puzzling. because 1t is new. Now ons
thing you will find out by looking at
ready-made skirts. is that in pleated
skirts the hem Is turned before the
seams are stitched. Then the seams are
stitched and bound. This finish makes
IL possible to fold very narrow box or
side pleats without bulkiness. whereas II
the seams were made first, the hem
would be bulky and would ridge when
II was pressed
Another thing about the full skirts Is
that they are often without a hem.
Someti 8 they are finished with a cord
at the bottom. 1t is run through a
machine stitched fold of the material.
which finishes the bottom. Again
ruche of silk makes the bottom finish
of the skirt. Sometimes. too. picot
edge is used at the lower edge Of
full silk skirt.
Machine made picot edging is done ut
many trimming shops. for few cents
yard. and 1t is a boon to the home
dressmaker. For II gives a professional
touch to the work she does and helps
her over the difficulty of many compli-
Gated finishings. Collars ard cuffs of
lawn or silk may be finished in this
way. ruf1es and frills are often made
with a picot edge. Machine hemstitch-
ing can he used. too. in many accessories
of the new frocks-collars, cuffs, fchus.
net lining is used in many of the
taffeta frocks-for n waist lining. II Is
cut with underarm seams only. and with
little semblance to fitted lining. and is
edged at the top with a narrow lace.
Many of the new long sleeves are fn-
ished with a cord at the bottom and
facing that extends up three or four
inches at~the wrist. The cord Is basted
in place on the right side of the sleeve.
with the facing over it. and then II Is
stitched by machine in a seam. Then this
facing Is turned into position, and tackled
it'll two or three stitches.
