Important Part

While conservation is a patriotic
duty and an every day necessity, the
women of Omaha are meeting the
situation admirably.
Attendance at the instruction
classes has kept up and increased
week by week. A choice collection OF
tested recipes has been given at each
meeting and the faithful ones who
have not missed lesson, have new
cook book that is strictly up to date.
Some have just discovered that a
free cooking school is being conduct
ed where individual problems are dis
cussed and solved. Many who have
taken advantage of this courtesy OF
Uncle Sam have requested that these
classes be repeated. Already new
classes are scheduled for September
Only limited number can be con.
Quoted at once and those wishing this
instruction brought to their districts
should apply at once as classes will
be formed in the order of application.

. Mrs. c. I. Kountze
!: Brings --latest News
!. From New York

RFRS. C. T. KOUNTZE, assistant
M director of the bureau OF per-
A'A sonal service for Nebraska, has
just returned from New York with her
head full of the latest Red Cross news
Her interest was centered chiefly in
the developments along the lines OF
service abroad which are included in
the personal work. They are clerical,
canteen, social service and the new.
est branch hospital hut work.
The presence of two former Omaha
women, intimate friends of Mrs.
Kountze, at the head of the personal
work, made the inspection tour de-
cidedly pleasant as we'll as profitable.
One of these is Mrs. John Els
worth, formerly Miss Eleanor Mont
gomery, granddaughter of the late
Gen. Granville Dodge of Council
Bluffs and Omaha. She is at the head
of the canteen service of the Atlantic
division.
Work Done.
The amount of work done by the
canteeners in New York is amazing,
according to Mrs. Kountze. They meet
the troop trains and gather at the
ports to speed the boys on the last
lap of the journey to the war zone.
"Mrs. Ellsworth, the commandant,
wears the most attractive uniform"
Mrs. Kountze said. "The skirt is dark
blue, the short coat of horizon blue
has epaulets of red. The navy blue
war sailor is banded with horizon blue
and ornamented with the Red Cross.
The workers wear smartly made long
motor coats of horizon blue linen with
hats similar to that of the command
ants"
The reason for the gay looking COM
bination is to make the workers
recognizable at a distance. Mrs.
Ellsworth directs the activity Of
1000 New York women who serve
thousands of boys daily. Mr.. Els
worth is director of hospital service
for New York.
Mrs. Joseph Cudahy of Chicago,
foSmerly of Omaha, director for the
canteen service for the central division
Of which Nebraska is part, was in
New York with Mrs. Kountze. Mrs.
Cudahy and Mrs. Ellsworth are men,
bers of board of IL who compose
the advisory committee OF the wo-
mans national committee. Mrs. Cud.
ahy returned to Chicago with the
Omaha Red Cross chairman.
An important part of Mrs.
Kountze's visit was to arrange to
bring to Omaha Mrs. John Orb, OF
Minneapolis, who has just returned
from several months CLERICAL work

times silk, and on hot days they are
of sheer muslins, georgettes or Or
candies, but invariably white. She
did, however, appear on French In
dependence day, in a costume OF
light blue, with white hat and light
blue band, all of which was most be-
coming to her brunette beauty, and it
is very few brunettes who can wear
light blue.
Miss Wilson wears rather palmer
clothes than her fathers wife. but
white and pink have seemed to have
been adopted by her this year. She
is taking a very active work in the
entertainment of the soldiers and in
the community center work, in the
District of Columbia. This has al
ways been the work in which she has
been greatly interested, leaving to her
sister, Jessie, now Mrs. Sayre, the
work of promoting suffrage as much
as possible, and to the youngest of
the three. Mrs. McAdoo. the work of
keeping up with the social end of
everything, and the artistic things.

their mothers taste and talent in art.

Often it was the agents of Amer
ican industry who painted the glow

lands. Sometimes it was tales of
the successful traveller on his visit
to the "old country which fired the
imagination. Both had the same re-
suit, to crowd the steerage of every
ship bound for America.

times frowned. For some fate still

Omaha's German-born Americans. A
splendid society composed OF 200 wo-
men, known as the Christian mothers,
is doing much in a social and educa-
tional way. Mrs. Nachtigall is in
charge of the St. Joseph's church Red
Cross knitting auxiliary and the sur
gical dressings workers.
In both the Liberty loan and Red
Cross drives, this patriotic woman
has taken the initiative. The women
have made a very creditable record
in each wartime activity.
Continual inspiration from Itaiy's
brilliant fighting, has come to the
group OF daughters of this land, who
are expressing loyalty to the allies
when they work for America in Red
Cross and the bimonthly programs
of patriotic nature given by the
members of ST. AIMS parish.
In none Of the groups has the work
been really organized. Other workers
are to be named among the Bohemian
women. Miss Jessie Kruger, well
known in Jewish welfare work, is the
last chairman to be appointed. The
plans t9 be followed haye not been

Washington, July 20.


wy ASHINGTON as a summer re-
w sort, is so far, great sue
W cess. For six weeks CT more
it has been too cool for picnics and
Tor water trips with any comfort.
Open fires have given the country
clubs an autumn atmosphere. The re-
ports from the seaside resorts from
the weekend travellers that they are a
scene of half desertion. Motor par
ties who do not stay long are the rule,
rather than the permanent summer
colony. 1t is the hotels that are suf-
fering, rather than the cottages. The
mountain resorts round about Wash
,ington are we'll filled, and in fact are
having the most prosperous season
they have had in years. There is too
much of importance, necessity and in
terest in Washington, for many of its
residents to want to leave, and the
housing problem grows easier every
day. The hotels are not even full,
much less crowded.
A party of resourceful girls solved
the question for themselves clever
ly few weeks ago, and are the cos
lest, happiest little party ever. Every
one familiar with Washington knows
of the many localities, desirable to
live in, where there are little shabby
ramschackle story and half and two
story shanties, which have once been
cottages, but neglected SO long that
even many of the colored people shun
/. them, but which stand beside, be-
tween and across the street, from
some of the most pretentious and
fashionable residences. This enterl
prising group of girls here doing war
work found one of these veritable
huts on ! street, close to the new
Powhatan hotel and at the other end
Of the block from the Metropolitan
club. 1t had been occupied by negroes
and had had little shop in the front
room. They looked-it over, rented it
for next to nothing and then went to
work on it. They fumigated, painted,
repaired and scraped it inside and out,
installed a bath and restored the back
yard into tiny garden, furnished the
tiny house in modern, summer fur
nishifigs, including electric lighting
and fans, and are now in possession
of one of the prettiest and most COM
Portable little places ever seen with
seven good room. And it is within
three minutes walk from the State
department and Immediately in one of
the fashionable neighborhoods, Their
little drawing room with dining room
behind, is one of the most adorable
suites with artistic hangings and con-
genial surroundings. There are hum
dreds of such transformations all over
the city, even in the business blocks
where some one fits up charming
apartment.
Vacation Problem.
Now that congress has solved the
vacation problem, the president and
Mrs. Wilson are expected to take a
few days now and then, for change
and recreation. Just how and where
will be question to be announced,
probably, after they have done it.
Mrs. Wilson, is very attractive in her
youthful summer outfits of white
suits and soft. surnmery hats. which
she invariably wears. This cool
weather. the suits are of cloth, some

THIRST in the hearts of all Oma-
r. hans are the fighting men who
call our town home" They are
scattered from the Pacific coast to the
Atlantic and the war devastated coun-
tries overseas claim many of them.
Newsy bits about these boys grown
tall' who have pledged all TO their
country, 'are read eagerly by those
who stand behind them at home and
all other news takes secondary
place. A few gold stars are appearing
on Omaha's service flag telling their
silent story of her valiant sons who
have made the supreme sacrifice.
While the boys are far away hos
pitable Omaha has opened wide her
doors to the men in khaki who are
stationed at the nearby forts. Many
of the officers have brought their
charming wives with them and they
are honorees at delightful parties al
the clubs and at the informal little
teas given at the different homes
They are such attractive young wom-
en- and bring such a refreshing
glimpse of the outside world to US,
that everyone regrets deeply when

According to letter received last
week by Mrs. Tom McShane and Mrs.
Roy Byrne, their brother, Sergeant
Sheridan, of ST. Joe, was wounded
during the battle on the Chateau
Thierry front in France, and was then
in hospital behind the French lines.
Sergeant Sheridan, who is a young
doctor and member of the field hos

trying to rescue Captain Duncan, who
was close friend of Sergeant Sheri-

Captain Duncan from the field into q
wood which was Immediately located
by the boches, and with their guns
