Red Cross Fills Women's Day.

Red Cross Fills Women's Day.
The wave of work for Red Cross
and war relief is sweeping westward
with ever increasing force. At first
it was merely desultory, and then the
National Surgical Dressings commit
tee enlarged its work by taking a
room in the Baird building and estab-
fishing circles OF workers. The move
ment became systematized. Now we
have hives of Red Cross workers in
every part of town and representing
every organization. 1t is becoming
increasingly dificult-almost impos-
sible-for even the frivolously in
clined to pretend that anything but
relief work should have a place in our
thoughts.
Mrs. A. L. Reed said yesterday:
1--WE are working at such pace that
II is hard to tell how long we will
last. ! think, though, that soon mat
tiers will be systematized in such a way
as to give everyone something to do
without burdening anyone, When
the work was new people rushed into
half a dozen things at once. They
couldn't stand it. Now that we are
becoming adjusted we will all be able
to work we'll without wearing our
selves out"
If you want to find any Of Omaha's
social leaders it is safe for you to fol-
low such a schedule as this on regular
days. From IL midnight to 8 or in
the morning they are home. From
to IL make the rounds OF the Red
Cross, Surgical Dressings committee,
League for Woman Service headquar-
tiers. in the Baird building, the Army
building or the Nurses club, and you
will see the faces that you want.
From II to look in at the Fontenelle
or at some OF the homes to find your
quarry, and then from about 2 to 6
make the rounds again and you will
have the day until dinner time, when
home is usually the place to tind the
workers. Some even devote the time
after dinner to teaching classes OF
girls who cannot give their days to
Red Cross, but others take their
recreation in the evening.
An interesting appeal for thrift was
made in England recently, which we
hope will never reach Us in all its
stringency:
Ten shiilings saved on, say, fcasting equals
eight cartridges.
Bottle Of champagne equals 400 car
tridges. t
Lady,s new hat equals four steel helmets.
Ladys new dress equals four service
rifles
diamond tiara equals one feld gun.
Motor car equals airplane.
Piano equals 100 shells.
Lap dogs equal twenty shells. and 80 on,

FIRST MEATLESS
NEDNESDAY'SHERE
Hotel Man May Follow 1t
Next Week With Wheat
less Wednesday
REAL FOOD CONSERVING
David B. Provan, of Adelphia,
Puts Theory Into Practice and
Pleases Patrons

Today Is "Meatless wednesday" Next
week 1t is likely to be called "Wheatless
Wednesday" in addition, IL the suggestions
of some Of the prominent hotelkeepers Of
this city are tried out
The "Nfeatless Wednesday" is being tried
today by some OF the leading hctelmen by
way of driving the economy plan home
little stronger. Eggs, FISH, cheese and vege-
tables will constitute the principal articles
on the bills Of fare today in tho hotels
where the idea is being tried out.
David II. Provan. manager OF the Hotel
Adelpha, suggests the "Wheatless We'd
nesday" as the neAJ move on the part of
the hotelmen to cooperate with the food
administration to conserve the food Dsup-
plies of the nation and at the same time
release as great volume as possible Of
wheat to our Allies
Not satisfied with the establishment of a
"Beeness Tuesday" and the experiment OF
"Meatless Wednesd W" he is going TO try
out the substituting Of graham rolls, corn
mullins and ginger rolls, banshing wheat
flour absolutely.
Mr. Provau has already reduced the nor
NAL use of wheat in bread and rolls TO a
mixture of S5 per cent whelt and Is per
cent rye flour. This reduction shows a
saving Of about one and three-quarter har-
rels from a former daily use of four bar
rels OF flour 1t is estimated that II the
other large hotels in the city would follow
the plan of substituting Is per cent rye In
bread there would be a daily saving Of more
than two tons of wheat flour in the city Of
Philadelphia alone.
And the finest thing about this new
change Is that the guests Of the Hotel
Adelphia are actually getting better bread,
rolls and mullins than when an all-wheat
mixture was used. As Joseph Sierra. the
French chef, slys: "1t is softer bread, more
like cake and it remains fresh longer than
the all-wheat bread. The American people
like soft bread, and the addition of rye
gives them much tastier morsel and a
pleasant surprise that they would not have
re llized possible except for this conserva-
tion innovation"
The batch of rolls made up in the Adel-
phia kitchen today contained IS per cent of
rye flour and 50 per cent of wheat. a little
Increase over previous combinations. The
chef explained that the most pa.atable
bread imaginable, the softest and most

HEAVEN COSTS 8 MONTHS

Verify, this is the parable of the man
who broke the seal of a freight car, and.
on the other hand. of what befell his fell
low-men who tried to break the seal into
heaven.
John r. X Scott is Ware leader of the
Fourteenth Ward. Eph Lipschutz is an at
torney in the office of Scott. This morning
Mr.. Lipshutz represented Michael link, an
extremely Sell-dressed young man who said
he lived In Coatesville. link was accused
in the Tenth and Buttonwood streets sta
ton house (in the Fourteenth ward) of
having broken open the seal of a freight
car at Eighth and Willow streets. The legal
penalty for breaking the seal on n freight
car Is two years in prison.
In testifying against link, PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad Detective Kayser said:
II found this man at Eighth and Willow
streets last night between two cars. 1
watched him break the seal on one car. He
saw me and ran to the other side Of the
car, where l arrested him. He had an au-
tomobile horn In his hand and It dropped to
the ground. He also had S54 in his pocket
l think the horn was taken from another
freight car"
But you didn't see him take the horn
and all the railroad company has against
him is breaking the seal on the car. As
matter of fact" asked Attorney Lip
schultz of the railroad detective. 'aren't

freight Cars?"
Kayser hemmed and hawed a bit and
then said he thought he was willing.

him."

John r. X. Scott is Ware leader of the
Fourteenth Ward. Eph Lpschutz is an
attorney in the office of Scott But neither
of them represented Polak by the name
Of Fred Turchen, who went to the Ruthe-
nian Church house, Sl3 North Franklin
street last night and asked to see God.
Turchen' cannot talk English very we'll and
his statement that he only wanted to see
priest wasn't very plain to the court.
Turchen had been Father obdurate when he
was brought in and had refused to give
any address. The Magistrate asked him
IL he had any home and the man. who was
fairly we'll dressed, started a little pigeon
English explaining.

tion," said Magistrate Beaton.
