At Krug Park This Year

The Omaha Central Labor Union
celebrates Labor day, Monday, Sep.
tember 2. this year at New Krug park,
and the committee on arrangements
has been working studiously for
weeks past to make this years cele-
bration one long to be remembered,
and one that will make those who
are only half-heartedly in favor of
Uncle Sans war program feel like
the proverbial thirty cents"
To begin the day the committee
has arranged a monster parade which
will traverse the principal downtown
streets and which will be led by the
Great Lakes Naval band of IS pieces.
AT New krug park an athletic pro-
gram consisting OF some IS athletic
events will take place in the afternoon

uted to the winners.
Mayor Ed. P. Smith and Miss Joy
Higgins have been secured to deliver
the addresses of the day, the mayor
to tell "what labor can do, and has
done for our country. and what it is
now doing to win the war for free
DOM" Miss Higgins will relate her
experiences while "over there" and
directly back of the firing line; also
the prominent part the women are
taking side by side with the men.
both in this country and abroad.
The gates at the park will be
thrown open at II a. m, so all may
enter Immediately after the parade.

Quoting facts and figures indicat-
ing the thriving conditions in Canada
in spite of her four years of war,
Frank B Ansted, president of the
Lexington Motor company of Con-
nersville, Ind, is sending out mes
sage of optimism which he believes
will decidedly Offset any gloomy Hun
propaganda.
In a communication to Lexington
dealers, Ansted points out that bank
clearings in Canada have risen from
$S,OOO,0O0,00O in 1914 tc $l2,0OO000,000
in 1917; savings deposits from
$639,000,000 to $985,000,0O0; crop
value from $638,000,000 to Sl,OS9,0 ,000,-
900.
Canadians have spent money free
ly," says Ansted, kept business 60
ing at full speed, paid heavy taxes,
and yet have increased their savings
by large percentage. Automobiles
owned increased from $4,000 in 1914
to l9l 900 in 1917. They have built up

TIRES ARE CHEAPER
NOW THAN IN 1910
In Spite of Rising Costs of
Everything Going Into Them
Prices Have Decreased
Greatly.

For the man who sat back in his
chair and watched the prices soar
in cent to 400
per cent over VIII, ey used to be;
for the man who has contemplated
dumping his automobile on the scrap
heap. few stati; lies on automobile
tire prices should have a wholesome
and beneficial effect.
Eight years ago, in 1910, automo-
bile tires cost half again as much as
they do today, according to Henry
Nygaard OF the Omaha Tire Repair
Co., distributors of Diamond tires.
TIE, for comparison, A 34x4 Dia-
mo-: tire which = $3.50 in
1910, it can be bought today for ap-
proximately $50. And the tire of to-
day is nue. .tter proi~-t.
Higher power>1 automobiles, the
increased use of pleasure cars for
commercial purposes, greater speeds
maintained, and the vast touring
radius increase the motorlst of today
has through good roads develop
ment, all have made new and greater
I 5 o tires. The m'"0ge ex-
pected from them must keep pace
each year with automobile and high
way progress. And although tires
are cheaper today, they are decidedly
better and give double the service ex-
pected of them eight years ago.
The price Of tires would be pro-
hibitive to the average motorist had
the selling price increase since 1910
been commensu. with the advanced
cost of labor and fabric during that
period. Fabric, which rep. esents over
one-third of the cost of making a
tire, has increased over 200 per cent
in price. Labor has increased nearly
IS per cent in cost to the makers of
pneumatic tires since 1910. Still, tires
are cheaper and better despite sky
rocketing of costs.

SATIN and Velvet
Rich Materials Plentiful Despite
Threatened Shortage.
Only Thing That Seems to Be Scarce
In Paris, Says Correspondent, Is
Really Hard Wearing Cloth.

We are threatened with a deficiency
of dress material for the coming year,
but in the meantime the shops are well
supplied with everything but really
hard~wearing cloth, writes Paris cor
respondent of the London Times. All
such things as satins, silks and velvets
are to be seen in abundance with many
variations on one theme.
Perhaps the most popular material
is stamped velvet of various kinds, for
coats, evening cloaks, trimming in
stead of fur, and even for dresses,
WaiStcOats and hats Satin still is the
most popular material for afternoon
dresses; it is generally black. Often.
now, bold embroidery design in ivory
VOL or silk trims a satin tunic and
gives it lighter note and richer
touch. Indeed, embroidery of all kinds
promises to come back into fashion.
That those who are employed to work
on it might do more useful work is
an argument that dressmakerS do not
see; dressmaking in France, they
maintain, must be allowed to flourish,
not as luxury, but as a national In
dustry.
Boots are less high In the leg than
they were and not many are made al
together of leather. The cloth-topped
boot is the one most worn, and the all
suede is among the most fragile. The
buckle shoe is worn again at home,
and the very high heel is more often
seen at home than in the streets,
where it is unbecoming and dangerous.
The national boot, wherever it has
been found, is said to be satisfactory.
Millinery is becoming. Black satin
hats with no trimming are worn with
neat wells. Brown panne hats and
gray panne or satin are good. The
small toque grows in favor; the high,
heavy crown is dying out. The big
picture hat is still in fashion, but, as
a rule, a smaller hat Is more practical
as well as more attractive.
Everyone uses a small bag, in silk
or beads or stamped velvet, with
mount of tortoise shell or silver, or
else bag of shiny leather on a short
strap. This last is more of q purse
than a bag and it can be slipped into
the small muff or carried in the hand.
The long bag which hangs on the arm
is pretty, but not practical.

ized TO promote the destruction OF
the English, or house, sparrow, but
many of the so-called sparrow clubs
are really sparrow and rat clubs, for
the destruction of both pests is the
aVoWed object of the organizations.
sparrow club in Kent, England, ac-
complished the destruction of $4,000
sparrows and 1900 rats in three sea
sons by the annual expenditure of
but ,t6 ($29.20) in prize money. Had
ordinary bounties been paid for this
destruction, the tax on the commu-
nifty would have been about $3.50 (over
S1,2OO).
Many organizations already formed
should be interested IN destroying
rats. Boards of trade, civic societies,
and citizens associations in towns
and farmers and women's clubs in
rural communities will find the subject
OF great Importance. Women's mu-
nicipal leagues in several large cities
already have taken up the matter.
The league in Baltimore recently Sc
cured appropriations of funds for ex-
penditure in fighting mosquitoes, flies
and rats. The league in Boston dur
ing the past year, supported by volun-
tary contributions for the purpose,
made a highly creditable educational
campaign against rats. Boys corn

similar organizations could do excel
lent work in rat campaigns.
State and National Aid.
To secure permanent results any
general campaign for the elimination
of rats must aim at building the ami
mails out of shelter and food. Build
ing reforms depend on municipal ordi-
nances and legislative enactments.
The recent plague eradication work
of the United States Public Health
Service in San Francisco, Seattle,
New Orleans, and at various places in
Hawaii and Porto Rico required such
ordinances and laws as well as finan
cial aid in prosecuting the work. The
campaign of Danish and Swedish or
CARNATIONS for the destruction of rats
had the help of governmental appro-
priatiOns. The legislatures OF Cali
fornia, Texas, Indiana and Hawaii,
have in recent years passed laws or
made appropriations to aid in rat rid
dance. 1t is probable that wel-or
ganized efforts of communities would
soon win legislative support every
where. Communities should not post
pone efforts, however, while waiting
for legislative cooperation, but should
at once organize and begin repressive
operations Wherever health is threat
ened the public health service of the
United States can cooperate, and
where crops and other products are
endangered the bureau of biological
survey of the department of agricul-
ture is ready to assist by advice and
in demonstration of methods.

Jewish Blood in ROYAL Veins.

Legend tells that when Count Al
brecht Tor AlberD III, the real founder
of the House of Hspsburg, returned
to Rome from a crusade he fell in love
with the pepe's niece, the former
JewesS, and took her for his wife with
the pope's consent. The official genoa
logical table of the Hapsburgs desig-
mates Albrechts wife as Roman wom-
an and relative of pope, but does not
mention anything concerning her de-
scent. 1t seems, therefore, very prob
able that she was a PierleOni. Count
Albrecht ILL., also called the Rich, died
n 1899. He was succeeded by his son,
Rudolph II, count of Hapsburg, whose
son, Albrecht " (died 1240), was the
father of the later Emperor Rudolph.
From emperor to emperor. or, rather,
from King Rudolph, descend all the
Hapsburg- Lorrainers of the. present
day. AS all the ruling houses are,
through intermarriage with the Haps-
burg-LOrrainers, intimately related. it
Is obvious that through them Jewish
blood has come into the veins of all
European dynasties.

Salmon For Eastern Streams.

Many thousands of humpback sal
mon, native of the Puget sound
where they were collected by the Cow
eminent two years ago, entered Penn
broke, Dennys, Penobscot, st. Croix
and other rivers in eastern Maine this
autumn as part of the fisheries bureau
plan Of stocking the East with the
pride of the Pacific coast catch. The
bureaus investigation shows that the
humpback in its new environment re-
tains its Pacific coast habit of pro-
ceeding to the ocean shortly after it
begins to swim, and returning to the
rivers to spawn and die when two
years old. The government has made
annual shipments of eggs OF the
humpback salmon acrOs the continent
for the past five years, drawing the
cOnsignments alternately from WASH

unite in efforts to get rid of rats.
much more lasting results may be at
tanned. If continued from year to
year, such organized efforts are very
effective.
Community Efforts.
Cooperative efforts to destroy rats
have taken various forms in different
localities In cities, municipal en-
ployees have occasionally been set at
work hunting rats from their retreats,
with at least temporary benefit to
the community. Thus, in 1904, at
Folkestone, England, town of about
$4,000 inhabitants, the corporation
employees. helped by dogs, in three
days killed 1,645 rats.
Side hunts in which rats are the
only animals that count in the con-
test have sometimes been organized
and successfully carried out. At New
Burlington, O., rat hunt took place
some years ago in which each of the
two sides killed over 5000 rats, the
beaten party serving a banquet to
the winners.
There is danger that organized rat
hunts will be followed by long in
tervals of Indifference and inaction.
This may be prevented by offering
prizes covering a definite period of
effort Such prizes accomplish more
than municipal bounties, because they
secure a friendly rivalry which slim
ulates the contestants to do their ut
most to win.
In England and some of it's colonies
contests for prizes have been organ

Frock for Winter.

Although Jersey cloth has been put

sons, it is still placed very near the
head of the fabric list by the French

To be sure, the weave has been
varied and the surface impressed with

All of which Is to say that the girl

IMPORTANT FACTORS
IN GROWTH OF HOGS
Problem of Exercise Is Difficult
to Solve in Winter-G0od
Plan Is Outlined.

Exercise is one of the most impor-
tant factors in the growth of hogs.
Hogs that are confined in small lot
do not develop sufficient stretch and
frame, points out Ray Gatewood, in
structor in animal husbandry in the
agricultural college.
1.-The problem of exercise" said Mr..
GatewOOd, lis more difficult to solve
in winter than in any other season of
the year due to the fact that hogs
should be kept off the pasture for the
good of the pasture.
Exercise can best be provided by
allowing the hog free range on field
which is fenced hog tight and which
has not been planted to any crop. Stalk
fields in which cattle are running make
a desirable place for stock hogs. Be
cause hogs are likely to remain in
their sheds too much in the winter
they should feed some distance from
their sleeping quarters. This forces
them to take certain amount of ex-
ercise."

HOW TO MAKE HAIRPlN LACE
Simple Directions Given for Work
Which May Be Used in the Place
of Hemstitching.

Try making the new hairpin lace and
using ii in place of hemStitching. Make
a loop with thread or crochet cotton in
middle of hairpin. Place crochet
needle on under side of hairpin, and
turn hairpin. Catch thread with
crochet hook and draw through loop.
With crochet needle in loop in middle
of thread of hairsln catch loop around
the hairpin. You will then have two
loops of thread on crochet needle, then
catch thread with needle and pull it
through the two. You will have the
one loop in middle of hairpin TO start
again.
If you wish TO make a centerpiece
of leaves, try this stitch. First work an
ordinary stitch from side TO side, fol-
lowing the outline on the leaf. A cat
stitch is a series of stitches taken
from side TO side between two lines,
After the leaf is filed with cat stitch

SYSTEM IN WATERING PLANTS
System of Continuous Moisteninq
Found to Be Better Than Drench-
ing of Soil at Stated Intervals.

Plants should not be watered at any
old time and in any old way. They
may thrive in spite of your method of
watering them. but why not care for
your plants in the most approved way?
Lucien Daniel, French botanist, has
discovered that young dollhouse plants
and slips of vegetables, as well as
flowers, thrive far better by a system
of continuous watering than by drench-
ing the soil at stated periods.
The new method depends upon the
law of capillary attractions. Near each
plant is placed jar containing water
into which is dipped one end of strip
of linen or cotton, whose other end
lies near the plant. With this uninter-
rupted supply of water, drop by drop,
the plants thrlved, greatly outdistanc-
ing other plants, which were submit
ted to an intermittent drenching.

Piano Box Closet.

only 51s feet from the floor, and of
such size that the large bureau and
chiffonier, placed diagonally across
the corners, hid them entirely from
view, and yet permitted free access
to them.
In another room piano box, set on
its side in the corner, became a closet,
the front being converted into door
the whole covered in panel effect with
conventiOnally decorated burlap. With
strips of molding to separate panels
and knobs screwed into the top, it
looked to casual observers merely like
an ornamental screen. This idea
could also be used for a broom and
bucket closet on a back porch or out
side the back door.
