nESSIMISTS who feel that the
call of the volunteer so prom
inent in war times has been
muffled in the greater call Of each for
himself-look at the picture of Mrs.
Bertha Washburn Pier, who is one
of Omaha's latter the volunteer"
and will leave in August for Japan,
where both Mr.. and Mrs. Pier have
signed for life service with the Y.
M. c. A.
Hardly a day passes, but l am
asked over and over again" said
Mrs. Pier, "why are you going to
Japan when there is so much work
to be done here at home?
"Mr. Pier and / know the need at
home, but when we consider the
comparative need of japan we could
not be true to the principles of de-
mocracy, which are the principles
Of Jesus Christ, and not answer the
call of the greater need of Japan.
"A missionary is one Who'll owes
his own country so we'll that he is
willing to leave it and carry its best
to the land beyond the sea-" 1t is the
task of the missionary, through a
sympathetic understanding of the
religious, political, and social prob
lens of the nations of the world, to
so interpret the West to the East
and East to the West that universal
brotherhood may be established,
which alone will bring world peace
| hope to do my part in the LIB
erty Drive, of Japan.
Mr.. Pier, who was director of the
Omaha Y. M. c. A. for two years
is now travelling for student volun-
teer work recruiting for the Y. M.
in various universities throughout
the middle west. He was but recent
ly released from the navy where he
attended the officers training school
in Chicago.
In Japan all the Y. M. c. A. &C
tivities are connected with the STU
dent work and as Mrs. Pier said:
1--WE do not feel that the war is
over. 1t is not won unless we make
the best use of the opportunities that
are before US in the countries that
have felt Americas touch in the
war"
In all save reality, japan will be
their home for it is only once in
seven years that Mr.. and Mrs. Pier
| will return on furlough. Student

a witch, I guess, but anyway her
heart was in the right place. And
let me say right here that all that
day, and the days that l worked
since (four altogether), l didn't meet
anyone who didn't seem anxious to
help me. | guess most of them
started where 1 am, and they re-
membered it.
Well, my witch-or fairy god
mother, as she seemed-explained all
about makeup to me, and helped
me fix up. She wanted to introduce
me to lot of queer looking people
all around us-Arabs and negroes
and old men with long whiskers and
girls in short dance hall dresses
But | got cold feet and asked her
not to, until l had time to get used
TO them.
I went over to the set feeling that
everyone was staring at me, but l
guess no one was. | found a scene
being Shot" as they call it, and
they kept on shooting it, and l sat
around on bits of scenery and felt
LOST ana lonesome.
At IL o'clock Director Horne
called: "Of to lunch, everybody"
And, still l hadn't acted, and my
evening gown was getting all crump-
ly from sitting around in it.
In the cafeteria we all stormed the
counters for food, and | picked up
snatches of talk that l could under
stand-most of it might as we'll have
been Greek, for it was all full of
words I'd never heard. But every
one seemed nice and friendly and |
began to feel at home
Well, it was 8 o'clock before ]
was called for scene, and then all
| had to do was sit at table with an
insipid-looking man and drink some
stuff that was supposed to be cham
payne. But i, wasn't-it was cider.
Anyway | saw the camera man
grinding away, out of the corner of
my eye, and thought: $50 I'm in
pictures at last!
But listen! When it was all over |
learned l hadn't been in the scene at
all-the camera angle" didn't in
clude my table. l nearly cried, but
the director, Mr.. Horne, saw how |
felt and said maybe I'd have better
luck next time, and to report next
day for a scene with Kathleen
O'Connor.
Maybe | wasn't tickled! I wonder
if he saw anything in my acting, if
you could call it that, that made him
think | would do. Or was it just that
he saw | was about to cry? l
wonder?

Politics, government, society and
every phase of life.
I'VE neither know the Japanese
language" said Mrs. Pier, "but what
the Japanese have done here, surely
we can do there. 1t means school
however for one and one-half years
and then perhaps private tutor for
perfection"
During the war Mrs. Pier worked
with Mr.. E. F. Folda as state sec
fetary for the Liberty loan COM
mittee and at present is secretary
in the Victory loan work. Per-
vious to her work in Omaha, she
was secretary for patriotic organiza-
tons in New York.
The Piers are giving their lives to
the work-what more could anyone
give?

Heart Beats
By A. X.

When December
Welded May my dears
The merry bells
Rang out
The robins sang
And the eagles screamed
But the blue5ird
Could not be found.
The maiden fair
With her sunkissed hair
Floating free on the
Soft June breeze,
Said: iii find him
Soon and build a cage
With the money that
Buys all things
So amid the gayest
Ot orchid blooms
And bridal wreaths
And palms
She took the vows
She knew nothing about
And promised
To love and cherish
Until death do part"
The man was pompous
In his narrow thought
That his gold
Could bargain with love,
His confidence topped
The judgment mark
And blinded his reason
To life.
Time skipped by,
A. a rapid gait
While the chasm OF cool ~
Indifference grew
Great and wide
Sparrows came
In droves to scold
And fuss and fume
And disturb
But the Bluebird
Was nowhere near.
He counted his gold
And his treasures rare
And sighed
For the woman he bought
Had brought no love
To his gilded cage.
She wept as she knelt
On her bridal veil
In the years that
Fitted by
And thought of the
Life that might have been
With the lover that came
Too late.
Youth to Youth
And Age to Age
Is the immutable
Law of God
Nor man nor beast
Can change the plan r
With the whole worlds
Store of gold.
God gives Love
For Loves own sake
And it never has been
For sale.
The price that is paid
For a law dehed?
Tragedies of souls
In wedlock bound
To material ground
In the mating of
December and May. .
