nEAR Busy Bee: Today is
~ Mothers day. We haven't all
had sisters and we haven't all had
brothers, but every single child has
had q mother. To us children every
day seems Mothers day, for its our
mothers and those who mother US,
who smooth out the hard places and
help us make our wishes come true.
They change our sadness into glad
ness, our troubles into JOY.
No one Is prouder when we do
right and no one is sadder when we
do wrong than our mothers. What
topsy-turvey world il would be II
there was no mothers to keep us clean
and yell and full of happy thoughts!
And so today let us give our mothers
and those who mother us a kiss and
1 hug and say. "Hurrah for Mothers
day" Lovingly, MARGARET.
Children's Successful Benefit.
Many children who had never been
to 4 thcater in the evening before
came to see the dance carnival at the
Brandeis theater Saturday night. This
carnival, given for the Fatherless Chill
drcn of France. was well worth see
ing, for the children who danced
seemed to enjoy it all as much as the
children who watched them.
Every one did their part in the
incest sort of way and the French
orphans will think very grateful
thoughts about the Omaha children
for the warm clothes and good food
that the money from this benefit will
buy for them.
Measles and whooping cough were
the only things not in favor Of the
affair and at the last minute little

Fine Fat Capons.

Major Putnam, the egg and

caponized a lot of large Ply

DEMAND FOR BLACK
Material Favored as Economy
Rather Than for Mourning.
Many Disadvantages Cited in Dead
Color, Particularly That 1t Does
Not Match Well With Khaki.

There seem to be two opinions
among merchants who deal in wom-
ems dresses, and womep's wear in gen
eral, about the probable demand for
black. Needless to say, war times al
ways mean an additional demand for
mourning, but after the experience Of
England and France it is hardly likely
that we will overdo the matter Of
wearing mourning in this country as
they did at the outbreak of the war.
Already there has been very definite
and telling agitation against this, and
1t is likely that if occasion for the as.
suming Of mourning comes, it will be
donned, but likely by American wom-
en-.
But aside from black as the color of
mourning, the prediction has been
made persistently in some quarters
that there will be an enormous demand
for black clothes as matter of econ
omy. Women may demand black, and
they may wear 1t. But the question
Is still open as to whether they are
doing wisely. Almost any woman who
has ever wore black for mourning
knows that it is not an economical
color. In almost any fabric black re-
quires constant brushing and constant
trips to the tailor. No color looks
shabby so soon as black. A black suit
skirt seems to collect the dust more
quickly than suits of other colors, and,
of course, black blouses have the dis
advantage of not usually being wash.
able. The elaborate black evening gown
cut with an extreme decolletage comes
lin for almost universal admiration, and
even debutantes yearn to wear it.
In England the fact is commented on
considerably that black does not go
well with khaki, and it must have
been noticed by everyone in this coun-
try that since the escort par excel
lence is the man in khaki, our pretty
girls have been wearing colors OF
brighter hue than ever before.
So think twice before you have much
black in your wardrobe, and think
three or four times before you adopt
1t as matter Of economy.

A statement prepared by the war
credits board includes the following
of its functions and activi-
ties:
when concern that has contract
with the war department for supplies
has shown the board that it needs finan-
cial assistance and has been able to
comply with the act by giving adequate
security, the board has approved an ad-
vance payment and the money has been
received; in many instances where the
case was urgent the money has been
paid over to the contractor the same
day the application has been filed.
However, the board does not act in
any sense as a bank. 1t Is only when
the manufacturer has reached point
where financial assistance is needed, in
addition to his banking lines, that ap-
plication for advance payment for his
goods is considered favorably by the
board"

November and January "a the board
approved advances to contractors to-
falling $145, 1851, 900.

In reply to inquiries regarding the
possibility of redistilling seized spirits
for alcohol the war department has an
nounced that the small amount of alco-
hol recovered, the cost of transporta-

would make the cost to the government
greater than it is now paying. The av-
erage yield from confiscated liquor
would not exceed per cent of alcohol.
The war department now permits
women to qualify as inspectors OF
small arms, according to an announce
ment by the civil service commission.

 As soon as the plot was given away, by one' of the officials, who when it came to be a down right traitor refused to go through with it, information was sent out broad cast in an attempt to catch the guilty ones but it is feared that they have arleady reached the Ger man lines.

The Hague. March 12.-All Labor and Socialist organizations in Germany and Austria, have been secretly plan ming for months, to call a general strike of all workers on the first of May it was learned here today. The German Government has learned of the plans of workers and is doing all in it's power to placate the workers while at the same time preparing for eventualities.
 Phillip Scheideman the prominent German Socialist stated that the trial of Thomas Mooney in the United States has a great tendency, to coun- teract any opinion among the German workers, that the United States was waging a war of Democracy as much in the interests of the German people Gas against their form of government as in the interests of the people of the rest of the world.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 12.- In view of the many false reports being continually circulated about the coun- try, by irresponsible speculation both through the press and by individuals, who know absolutely nothing about the date having been set for the next draft, Provost Marshall General Crowder to- day emphatically stated that there was no date set. Crowder intimated that the Department itself was not in position to announce just when the date would be decided upon as legis- lation which is pending at the present time will in all likelyhood change the basis of computation. He said how ever, that the next increment would not be called for in such large num-
 her at one time as the first draft but that the men would be gradually as simulated in small quotas as room is

The na- tional quotas and state quotas shlll be fixed in the near future, that is with regards to numbers but this does not mean that these men will be called to military service immediately the num- b IFS are issued. After explaining the problem presented by the scarcity of men for farm and other kinds of com- mon labor, the Provost stated that plans had already been perfected to take care of this situation.

STOCKHOLM, Mar. 12.-Infor- nation coming from Petrograd to- day says that all efforts to oust Trotsky from office have now ceased as he has so thoroughly convinced all factions, that his policy which has been carried out to the interest of the people, was the only policy that could conclusively prove to the people that it was the peoples in- terestS which were at stake in the war and not the interests of few big land owners. Trotsky's saus- factory explanation of all questions put to him by t hrroemef, f,abaicdof1 put to him by the former dissatis- fled adherents of Kerensky has even strengthened him with them and made him more popular with the people than ever.
 A plot has been expose in Mos. COW, by the confession of one of a number of officials who formerly Kerensky and who have been at some pains to give excuses for their lack of support or the Bolsehviki Government. whereby it is shown that these officials even went so far, in their attempts to

 Marshall Crowder reveals the fact that all men coming under the head of Deferred Classes as well as all men in class one who may have had special technical training that would make them desirable will all be called. The next national quota when announced, it is assumed will consist of about 1 ,30000O men but the exact number to be called from month to month cannot be announced for reasons which at the present time cannot be made public. The last increment of the first official draft will start for the cantonments on March twenty ninth and will con- sist of 95,000 select service men, order for this movement will be immediately put into effect, asserts Crowder.
