Suspender and garter manufac-
turers are already advising men to
take care of their suspenders, patch
EN- up with bits of old galouses,
rope and string, because they will
soon find it impossible to obtain
new ones.
Of course, the suspenderless con-
dition will not bother those who
use belts, but statistics show that
fully 20 per cent of the men in
America wear suspenders.
Will these men have to turn TO
wearing the old Roman toga or
blankets like the Indians?
Moral: Save your present sus-
penders and garters for future

AFTER-THE-WAR
PROBLEMS ARE
TOPIC At CLUB
Mayor Smith and Mrs. Arthur
Gleason, Y. N. c. A. Work.
er, Just Returned from
France, Address Women.

Mayor Ed. P. Smith in his address:
before the Political and Social Sci
ence Department of the Omaha Wo,
mans club, Monday afternoon, out,
lined the basic principles of an idea
democracy.
The time has come" said Mayor
smith, when we must see that the
bolsheviki OF Russia don't become
the bolsheviki OF America" With.
out trace of pessimism Mayor
Smith said that our responsibilities
have just begun. Briefly he discuss
ed the changes the great war has
brought about. There never again
will be the social barriers of days
gone by; morally the country is
greatly improved. There have been
fewer crimes during the past IL
months in Douglas county than in
any time during the past 20 years.
"All the world looks to America
today and the future of generations
to come will be decided at the peace
table" said thetmayor.
The ancient words Am | My
Brothers Keeper have been herald
ed from oae corner of America to the
other and Americas answer was the
downfall of Turkey, the surrender OF
Austria, and the utter defeat of the
Hum" said Mayor Smith, "and the
ideal democracy will be based on
the Fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of man"
Frank Mayer, executive secretary
of the churches, told of the enlarged
after-the-war program which the
churches must plan, TO meet the de-
mands of the hour.
The meeting adjourned to join
the Association of Collegiate Alum
nae, who co-operated with the polit-
zeal and social science department.
in presenting Mrs. Arthur Gleason,
w.'o has recently returned from
years service overseas. Mrs. Glea-
son, who is recruiting women for
Young Mems Christian association
work, spoke in an informal way of
her personal experiences serving in
a Young Mems Christian associa-
tion hut near Verdun.
We want young women, but MT
youngsters" said Mrs. Gleason;
I'VE want women with level heads
who can receive the attentions
showered upon them by hundreds
of homesick boys, and realize that
the attention is not personal, but
that he is honoring through her his
loved ones at home-a wife, mother
or sweetheart.
Older women are not so we'll
qualified for the reason that they
often are not able to stand the rig
orous life"
In vivid word pictures Mrs. Glea-
son made her audience see the little
hut on the hill where she was first
assigned, with its mud floor, its
leaky roof and its pitifully small
and meagre supplies. A wheezy pi-
ano, cracked photograph record
or two, and hundreds of men, who
just wanted some one to listen to
them" ~ 'f''
The crying need for workers now
that peace has come was empha-
sized by Mrs. Gleason. There is
no top to 60 over now; there is
nothing but monotony and mud and
rain; and the sight of an American
woman to the hundreds of men in
khaki is like an oasis in the desert

MEANING BACK OF
 ARMY SALUTE

Saluting an. officer is a ceremony
 that pals on many soldier of our
 national army, if he must go through
 it frequently in the course of a day.
 In the reservation or enrichment he
 is seldom allowed to avoid it, never
 b van officer who understands the sig inificance of the salute as a part of
 discipline.
 On leave, the soldier of the national
 army, whose head may be filled with
 false notions of the relation of democ- racy to military usage, sometimes fails to see the officer to whom a salute is due. Particularly is this the case when the soldier, who knew the officer in civil life as an equal, or perhaps as less important citizen, disapprovea of his success in obtaining a commission. It must be admitted, too, that officers do not always return a salute prompt ly and in the right spirit. They mis- apprehend the meaning and value of it as much as the ill-disciplined pri- vate does. On this subject Lieut.-Col. Andrew J. Dougherty, late of the 18th infantry, U. S. A., and now of the 357th infantry, national army, speaks words of wisdom, which the national army would do well to assimilate.
 When an enlisted man, lieutenant, a captain, colonel a general, salutes his superior, he says by that act, q will obey you,' and the smartness with which the salute is made is an exact measure of the way he will obey. When he returns the salute of an in ferior in rank he says: q will strive to the limit to prepare myself to lead you to victory" He will fight as he salutes.
 Colonel Dougherty was once an en- listed man himself. At San Juan he fought as a corporal of the Sd cavalry. The point is that Colonel Dougherty rose in the service because he submit ted to discipline when he was in the | ranks and taught it to the men he as an officer-in other words, because he was always actuated | by the spirit of the soldier. He is, an excellent authority on the salute-From the New York | Times.
