Capture Of Ls,ss
Brings Joy 70 Paris. !
Long Short of Fuel

X Paris. Oct. s.-The rccapture OF
Lens and Its many coal mines has
given the highest hopes here that We
may be much better of for coal this
winter than last. The past two win
ters will remain as nightmare Tor
many years to come in the recoiiec-
ton Of thousands Of Parisians.
Coal at>more than one period during
those two winters was absolutely un-
procuraablc at any price 1t always
brought a minimum Of $50, ton. IN
the second half of each winter there
was q period OF ave to seven weeks

straits that hundreds OF even wealthy

Proof OF this is found in the fact that
thousands OF families even in the Paris
area have had to be content with
power to buy a single hundredweight
of coal per week and have never been
able to rely on. even that much beng
obtainahle.
Feeling Of Relief.
It may be imagined, therefore. with
what a feeling Of relief Paris heard

the Visiting Nurses, told of the
great need of a day nursery in order
to prevent disease among the poor

in the industrial center in Omaha,
and one at TWenty-fourth and Cum
ing streets.
The social service commission of

in the Gardner Memorial hall for
a nursery.
When Mr.. Kennedy of the We'll

scheme that took children from
their mothers and insulted the
mothers by telling them they didn't
know how to care for the children.
