Advice to the
LOve-LOrn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Needs Cheering.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
Do you think it all right for young
man in the last draft to keep COM
pany with a young lady. as l will
probably not be called into service
before spring? I am doing so, as
nv brothers are in the army and in
other parts of the country, and am
lonesome.
Should the boy ask every Sunday
evening for the lady's company the
next Sunday, or is it supposed he
will call again unless otherwise
planned?
Some folks have told me I should
not start keeping company with any
one, knowing that / may be called
into service. But I am so lonesome
that l feel I need someone's CHEEKY
words to help turn the dark clouds
inside out tin the boys come home"
NED.
Many people think the universe
can't be properly run without their
unsolicited advice. OF course it is
right for you and the girl to keep
company" if you both want to. 1t
is a matter which concerns your
selves alone, and your friends have
no right to try to deprive you of the
girls friendship.
1t is safer to make the definite en-
gagement each time you want to see
her; also more considerate, as she
may at some time be uncertain as to
whether you are coming and want to
make other plans. If you have
made the definite engagement she
will be spared possible worry and
uncertainty in making her plans.
wish you the best Of luck in your
companionship with the girl who
cheers you and makes you less lone
some, and hope your friendship may
continue

Major Caldwell Of Salvation Army
Rescue Home is to Leave

In the loss of Maj. Elizabeth
Caldwell, for the past eight and one
half years manager of the Saliva
ton Army Girls Rescue home, who
is to be transferred to Des MONIES
November |, Omaha loses woman
who, in a quiet way, has done an in
estimable amount OF good.
Major Caldwell has been for near
ly 20 years in the work of helping
girls whom fate or their own self
ish love Of pleasure has led to the
brink of ruin. The Salvation Army
homes in Cleveland, o., New York
City and St. Louis, have been sue
cessively under her charge previous
to her coming to Omaha.
When Major Caldwell came here
there was big mortgage on the
home. This is now paid off, regard
less of the fact that little publicity
has been given to the need tor
money. This work is necessarily OF
such a confidential nature that the
public knows little of the pitiful
cases that are cared for.
Since the major has been in Oma-
Ia nearly 500 girls have been cared
for in the home. OF these 500 girls,
all of whom have been constantly
followed and guided in their after
life, IS per cent have kept straight
and are now all happy. Most OF
them have been married, in many
cases to the fathers of their chill
dren, and in some other cases to
good men who have been willing to
overlook their misstep. The home
requires that each mother shall
keep and care for her own child.
feeling that the care of the little
one will help give her courage to
face the future.
In the II years in which DR..
Strong was physician at the home
and the more recent years in which
DR.. Samuel McCleneghan has been
in charge of medical work, not one
death has occurred. Motherly care
and cleanliness, combined with
proper medical attention for the
charges, have made this record pos
sible.

and uncomfortable nervousness,
something must be wrong with the
head or back, woman naturally
says, but all the time the real trouble
very often centers in the organs. In
nine cases out of ten the seat of the
difficulty is here, and q woman
should take rational treatment for its
cure. The disorder should be treated
steadily and Systematically with
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
and the hygienic advice followed
which DR.. Pierce gives free.
For diseases from which women
suffer, 'Favorite Prescription" is a
powerful restorative. During the
last fifty years it has banished from
the lives of tens of thousands of
women the pain, worry, misery and
distress caused by these diseases.

convenience how to become popular
with the men. IN DISTRESS.
No woman can tell another how
to be attractive to men. 1t Is a gift.
Very likely your trouble is that you
are not accustomed to men and are
too self-conscious. Don't think how
to make yourself attractive, but how
to make your friends feel at home
and enjoy themselves. Usually one
meets plenty Of men, and If they
think you good company they will
find occasion to see you again. Re-
member this, any man likes laugh
ing, happy girl better than he does
serious, sad-looking one.

Hair Dye.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
A lady has requested me to write to
you and ask your advice. She is 25
years Of age and is good-looking.
But for such young lady her hair
is turning gray. Would it hurt the
hair any to dye 1t with some kind Of
hair dye? The color of her hair is
black. WORRIED.
Hair dye is not particularly bad
for the hair if you get a good one,
recommended by a reliable druggist.
However, if it were my hair I should
not color it. Gray hair is beautiful
and many young women wear it
proudly. Dye never looks natural
and often has disagreeable odor

CHAPTER II.
Foes in the Clouds.

THE fighting airplanes were rush
ing right at Peggy and Cen
- eral Swallow. The roaring
whirr of The propellers gave warning
of what would happen to anyone
caught by them. They would cut a
person or bird to pieces in a flash.
"Quick!" shouted Peggy, and her
tiny plane leaped out of the way.
So did General Swallow, who es-
capped only by inches.
As the fighters sped past Peggy
saw on the foremost one the black
cross of Germany. On the second
was the striped hat of Uncle Sam.
Peggy caught only glimpse of the
Yankee aviator, but it was a glimpse
which showed her a splendid young
chap, handsome. alert, brave and
determined. \
"Why, it's Teddy Rose, our neigh
bor," she cried.
Teddy was putting up snappy,
peppery fight, and the German was
trying his best to escape the bullets
that were being poured at him. Sud-
denly the German dived downward,
turned completely over in a "loop
|the loop" and came up behind Teddy.
Then the Huns machine began to
shower bullets at the American
plane.
But Teddy was not caught nap
ping. He gave a sudden twist to
get out of range, Owed and again
came up behind the German. The
German looped the loop again and
got in the rear. Teddy dove straight
for the earth, Strengthened out,
twisted around and came at the Ger
man from another angle. This time
his bullets went straight to the
mark, for they put the Huns engine
out of commission. The German
machine Topped like wounded bird,
whirled around and around as it
dropped toward the ground and
then Strengthening out just as it ap-
peared about to be smashed inc bits
landed safely behind the American
lines, where the aviator was quickly
made prisoner.
Peggy, who had gasped with hor-
ror as the German plane fell, gave a
sigh of relief as she saw that the
birdman was captured and not killed.
Some dandy fight, that!" shrilled
General Swallow. I'D say that the
American airman is better fighter
than any airbird I've ever SEEN"
Teddy, when he saw that his foe
had been driven down, sailed away
on the lookout for more enemies to
conquer. He didn't have to look far,
for just as Peggy and General Swal-
low were swooping down for clos
er inspection of the captured Ger
man a second Gel nan machine dart
ed out of cloud right behind Ted
dy. Peggy gave shout of warning,
but of course Teddy could not hear,
the roar of his engine and propeller
drowning out all other sounds.
While the shout was. on Peggy's

"I'm going to help him." shrieked|
Peggy though she didn't know what
she could do.
$50 am r. shrilled General Swal-|
low, putting on his fighting look.
Up they darted, only to find thcn1-|
selves caught in a perfect hail Of bull
lets as the Germans tried to over
whelm Teddy. Peggy saw General
Swallow suddenly go tumbling head
over heels toward the ground as I'll
bullet struck him. Then her air-|
plane was given terrific blow from
behind and she followed General
Swallow, turning over and over asI
she fell toward the earth.

Stick to your trench Z!

Remember, you've got to stick to your trench
Yes, stick like glue your trench.
You dig while it's dark and you work while it's light
And then there's the listening post at night
Though you're soaked to the Skin and chilled to the bone:
Though your hands like ce and your feet like stone.
Though your watch is long, and your rest is brief
And you pray like he'll for the next relief
Though the wind may howl, and the rain may drench
Remember you've got to stick to your trench
Yes. stick like mud to your trench
There's rush and dash, and they're at your wire
And you open the hell of a rapid fire;
The Maxl1ns rattle, the rifles flash;
And the bombs explode with sickening crash
You give them lead and you give them STEEL
I'LL at last they waver, and turn, and reel
You've done your job-tFere was never blench
You've given them Hell and you've saved your trench;

Dry Battery Men To
Be Put onU. S. Job
Federal Bureau Will Fill N. Y.
Factory's Positions Despite
Rival Firms Protests

The need Of dry batteries to equip
aeroplanes in France caused a stormy
afternoon yesterday at the Federal En-
ployment Bureau, at 22O Fifth Avenue.
Every dry batteries maker in New York
was there, represented by counsel, to
make what plea he could before the
War Priorities Board for the retention
Of his workmen. The government, how
ever, made no concessions, announcing
that it would take as many men as
wero needed from all plants to fil the
big government orders for acroplanes.
The government contract for aero
plane batteries was awarded recently
to the United Batteries Company, whose
main factory is at 425 West TWENTY
fourth Street. This company found it,
self unable to fill the order without
more workmen. 1t called on the Fed
eral Employment Bureau to find the
men, and the bureau discovered that
there were no unemployed men of this
nifghly specialized trade available All
the workmen in the market were al
ready employed by rival firms of the
United Batteries Company Hence the
summons to the heads Of all these com
panies to meet the War Priorities
Board yesterday The board will make
survey of each plant and take from
each enough men to give the United
Batteries Company sufficient force to
til the government order.

dent Wilson, not, however, with the
intention Of cutting off peace discus
sions, because in his speech of Septem-
ber ~ he again reverted to 1t and in
an objective manner set forth the
necessity of just peace--a peace that
would not be one-sided, but Just to
both sides, and thus fulfill the princi-
Pile Of high justice to ALL
See Chance for Agreement
'"At this moment of the proclamation
OF this principle of equal justice for
all parties it became clear that it was
possible in this manner to some near
tt attaining peace, because the princi-
pie Of the elimination o: any one-sidcd
preference provides for the solution
of group of difficult questions.
I'm the consideration of tho further
circumstance that owing to the inter-
nal political change in Germany GER
tain difficulties were cleared out of tho
way, it became clear that uniform
decision of the Central Powers regard
ing peace could be effected. On this
day of the new German governments
entering Office we are in a position to
undertake step which reaches rs far
back as the beginning of 1917
This step was not born Of the
events of the moment, but continually
had won it's way through in the course
of natural development"
Look to Wilson First
"ln the circumstances we expect our
step will lead to rapprochement and
discussion. At the same time, in cx-
pressing this hope we do not know how
the Entente and President Wilson will
view this step. 1t is, however, political
" justified on the ground alone that
President Wilson represents sole
power and is. not politically bound to
the Entente.
"1n formal manner it is also
pointed out that our step is not to be
interpreted as a request for mediation.
This is out of the question. as only Il
neutral could act as mediator We ap-
proach President Wilson because the
points formulated by him represent a
basis OH which we could negotiate.
"Our step will assuredly be regarded
generally as one of great historic mo-
ment. In the note it is expressed with
full clearness that the much calumni-
ated Central Powers are pursuing no
lmperialistic policy, and, moreover,
their conditions are in full accord with
their programme of defence.
Should our proposal not be ac-
cepted, then our opponents will have
to undertake full responsibility The
note is presented separately because
the Allies (Teutonic) are represented
in America by protecting states--we
