which the present control of the railways is
limited after formal proclamation of peace

not, and therefore does not afford sufficient
authority to undertake improvements upon the

Red Cross Collects
Clothing and Shoes
for Belgian Refugee:

Clothing for the Belgians refugees
is the object of the big drive by the
Red Cross which started Monday
morning and will continue all week.
w. S. Jardine has been appointed
by the Omaha chapter to take
charge of the drive.
Shoes are especially needed. The
Red Cross asks that the shoes be
tied together in pairs. In former
drive for clothing many pairs of
shoes that were contributed became
separated in conveying them to the
central stations and were rendered
useless. Hotels are asked to send
clothing that has been left on their
hands. All Omaha people are re-
quested to share with the first war
victims the warm things they are
fortunate enough to possess.
Omaha's quota in this nation
wide drive is $4,000 pounds. The
central collection station will be at
the east door of the Auditorium.
where someone will be stationed all
week to receive packages. Collec-
tons will be made at all the drug
stores in the city twice a day, so
housewives may leave their pack
ages at the nearest drug store. All
kinds of clothing and shoes will be
received, excepting those complete
iy worn out. Good clothes are
wanted.

Police Court Officer
Reduced in Rank and
Ordered to Walk Bea1

By order of Police Commissioner
Ringer, w. r. Wilson. police court
sergeant and one OF the veterans OF
the department. who has held the
position of court officer for many
years, was relieved of his place. and,
it is understood. ordered to walk a
beat.
Wilson has been on the police
force for more than 19 years. and
was considered an invaluable man
in the post he held. He had very
rercntive memory and knew the
criminal history of nearly all of the
local police characters and this facul-
ty was of great assistance to the po-
lice Judge in determining the dispo-
sition of cases.
For some months past he has been
in failing health. although his physi-
cal condition was not such that it
incapcitated him for performing
the duties of his place, but the siren
uousness of patrolman's job is said
to be beyond his powers.
He has about six months to serve
in order to be entitled to a pension
and his condition is now such that it
is thought he is entitled to a disa-
bility pension.
Sergeant Wilson has been Sue
ceeded by Sam A. Shriglev. who
assumed the duties of the office at
police court Monday morning.

Food Administrators
Adopt Nebraska Plans
at Kansas City Meeting

At a meeting of zone food admin
lstrators, held i'll Kansas City last
week and attended by federal repre-
scntatives from Nebraska, Iowa,
Kansas, Missouri ard Oklahoma,
the potato inspection plan put into
effect by Nebraska was adopted.
Nebraska was represented by A.
c. Lau. director of county organiza-
tons, and it was he who explained
the Nebraska inspection plan that
provides for the location of federal
inspectors at shipping points. This
plan provides that potatoes shall be
graded and that the grade certificate
shall follow the shipment from point
of origin. all along the line to the
consumer. The price is to be based
on the grade.
The food administrators adopted
a rule that whenever foodstuffs are
offered for sale, conditions OF sale
must conform to the rules in force
in the state in which the purchaser
resides.
Approval was given to the 60-day
rule with reference to the exchange
OF wheat for -four. The Nebraska
rule provides that when a farmer
takes wheat to mill to be ground
with him to he will take home a
quantity OF -four sufficient to last
him only 90 days. The rule also
provides that the farmer will sign
a pledge that he will use accredited
substitutes.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie, and is very harmful. Just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and entirely greaseless), is
much better than the most expen-
sive soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't
possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an album
dance of rich creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out easily
and removes every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive OIL
