Theatrical Men VIII
Shoot at Gun Club for
Benefit Of Red Cross

A Red Cross benefit shoot will ,oe
held at the Omaha Gun club Friday
afternoon. Jack Norworth, who stars
in the odds an Ends" company
opening at the Boyd theater Thurs
day night, startled Omaha seattergun
sharks a few days ago when he is
sued a sweeping challenge to any
quartet of local shooters against a
picked squad from his show. Ar
rangements for the match were soon
completed and the receipts will be
donated to the Red Cross.
|, The original pot would amount to
about $40. Ammunition companies
learning of the event, donated the
shells which will add a considerable
sum to the fund The days shoot will
be open and several other shooters
have entered, and indications point to
the event raising 500 for the Red
Cross.
Mr.. Norworth will have on his team
besides himself, Harry Watson, jr.;
Jack Coogan and Jay Dillon, all men,

pany. The local team will be headed
by H. S. Mcdonald as captain and
1t. F. H. Lewis, R. c. Kingsley and
George Redick. The shoot will start
at 3 o'clock.

interest among Omaha trapshooters.

team are theatrical men ahd have little
opportunity to keep in practice, they
will prove able rivals. Norworth is
considered one of the cracks of the

SHELL SHOCK IS
TREATED IN. BIG
ARMY HOSPITAL
Major Henry Tells Rotary Club
of His Experience in Help
ing Remake U. S. SOL
diers.

"Shell-shock is putting the last
straw on the camel's back" said Ma.
jor E. c. Henry, who is home on a
brief furlough from Cape May, N. J.
in addressing the Rotary club at its
MONDAY luncheon at the Fontenelle
hotel Wednesday. He was there to
tell the club members some of his
experiences in a reconstruction hos
pital.
What | mean," continued the ma
jor, lis that one never knows what
struck him, when he is suffering from
shell -shock. Your boy may be stand
ing up in his trench, and all of sud-
den fall over. That's shell-shock in
one form. Then again, it may express
itself in more violent form. 1t acts
much the same as bolt of lightning"
Speaking of the actual work in the
reconstruction hospital, Major Henry
told how Uncle Sam has taken every
means to care for the boys thus af-
flicted. As he explained, his work
has only to do with the treatment of
their kind of cases-cases which at
feet the nervous system, generally.
1T is wonderful" said Major
Henry, what a part medical science
has played in restoring incapacitated
Sammies to line of occupation to
which they will best be fitted. In or
der to accomplish this, the govern
ment has established factories of all
sorts in order to determine and main
tain the efficiency of our boys"
Should Stand Squarely.
Referring to patriotism at this time,
Major Henry said: There never was
a time so important &c. every Ameri-
can to stand square On his feet. as it
is today" The impression was most
forcefully brought home to him as he
reviewed the American troops in that
monstrous .Fourth-of- July parade in
New York this year. Il never real
lied till then what polyglot nation
ours really is. | believe every nation
i'll the world was represented"
Other speakers at the Rotary club
were George WOLF of Fremont, state
council for the Lincoln highway, and
w. B. Cheek, president of the Omaha
Auto club, Both men gave very in
teresting talks, Mr. WOLF speaking
of the necessity of cooperation in
connection with maintaining the Lin

and leave them there" said Mr.. Cheek.
in speaking of the auto thefts in
Omaha, as leave our cars stand on
the streets unlocked" He also urged
a single automobile tax, the money
thus collected to be used on road i'm
provement and extension throughout

plan of cooperation the club has per-
fected for assisting the police in the
apprehension of stolen cars.
