Son Of Salvation
Army Chaplain Dies
AT Home In Chicago

While Chaplain Harry Kline OF
the Salvation Army was on the
ocean, returning from overseas serv-
ice, his 7-year-old son, Jimmie, the
pride of his heart, died in Chicago,
following an operation on his ap-
pendix.
Chaplain Kline, who is we'll known
in Omaha, observed the boys
seventh birthday anniversary while
in midocean. He observed the event
by thinking of the companionship he
would enjoy when his homeward
journey should be ended.
Captain Jimmie" Kline was ia
vorite in Chicago Salvation Army
circles. Last spring. dressed in uni
form and overseas cap, the boy led
Salvation Army contingent in
parade. The night before he died he
sang Keep the Home Fires Burn
ing" a song which he had learned to
sing quite we'll during the year his
father had been away. The boy had
been hoping to sing this song to his
father.
Mrs. Adjutant Kline bore her loss
with admirable fortitude.
Omaha friends of the Kline fam
lily were shocked to hear of the sad
death of Jimmie Kline.

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. Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo (Which is
pure and entirely greaseless), is
much better than anything else you
can use for shampooing, as this
can't possible injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, and
,leanses the hair and scalp thorough
ly. The lather rinses out easily and
removes every prticle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves it fine and silky, bright,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo at most any drug store.
1t is very cheap, and a few ounces
is enough to last everyone in the
family for months.-Adv.

Lithuanians Will
Stage Homecoming
for Soldiers Sunday

South Side Lithuanians will
stage a home coming celebration
Sunday at the park in Ralston to
welcome home 49 of the 76 of their
number who served with their
adopted Uncle Sam. A big picnic
and parade with plenty to eat for
all men who saw service, others
than Lithuanians included, is being
arranged by J. P. Uvick, chairman
Of the Lithuanian soldiers welfare
committee that provided for the
comfort of local Lithuanian SOL
diers during the war.
When war activities ceased and
$40 was found to be remaining in
the treasury from concerts and other
entertainments given during the
war, the committee decided to use
the surplus to give the ex-fighters
a good feed" A parade Of autos
bearing the veterans will leave
Thirty-third and S streets at 2
o'clock, headed by band. The men
will be in uniform. Drills and exer-
cises will be held at the park.
Since the entire surplus is not ex-
pected to be, used, the remaining
will probably be sent as dues to en-
roll the veterans in the American
Legion, a national organization
limited to service men. Chaplain
George Jonitis, former South Side
clergyman, will come from Chicago
for the celebration. About $50 peo-
pie are expected. Dancing will oc-
cupy the evening.

Fort Omaha Officers
Anxious to Take Part
In Big Balloon Race

ST. Louis, Mo, July l6.--A balloon
race for the United States champion
ship will start from St. Louis Octo-
Der l, it was announced following
a meeting of the Missouri Aeronau-
tical society. The race will be con-
Quoted by the Missouri society un-
der the rules of the International
Aeronautical federation. The first
prize will be $500, the second $500
and the third $500.
Under the present rules of the
War department, United States bal
looms are not allowed to enter open
competitions under management Of
civilian organizations, it was stated
at Fort Omaha when the question
whether or not the balloons from
the fort would participate was
brought up.
Maj. R. ]. O'Brien, adjutant and
balloon officer, stated, however, that
1t. Col. J. w. S, Wuest, command
ing officer, intended to petition the
War department should invitation to
enter the October race be rendered
by the Missouri association to
Omaha balloonists, } permit officers
at the fort to take part, using gov
errment gas bags.
1t is probable that A. Leo Stevens,
instructor at the fort, who, before
the war, was the foremost balloon
in America, will enter
the race with privately owned bal
loon. Stevens has been a prominent
participant in all balloon races in
The past, holding many national
records.

Ia, went over the high bank on the
west side of Park avenue, Council
Bluffs, plunging down Is feet to the

turned over several times and was
completely wrecked and all of the
persons were injured. Mrs. Flet-
cher was taken to the Edmundson
hospital, but Mr.. and Mrs. Kestrip
were cared for by friends.
The accident was an exact repro
duction of one that occurred at the
same point last spring when Ford
car containing six people plunged
over the bank. In both cases the
brakes failed to hold when the driv-
ers found the grade into Fairmount
park was too steep for their ma
chimes to climb and the backing
cars went over the bank.
Several persons who saw the ac-
cident last evening said Mr.. Kestrip
was attempting to, turn around when
he lost control and the car backed
across the roadway and went over
the bank.
DR.. Moth, who cared for Mrs.
Fletcher, said he feared she was

Two Omaha Men Strike Oil
While DriIIinu for Water

Ed and Al Shurig of Omaha are
reported to be on a fair way to be-
coming oil millionaires in Wyoming.
They bought 800 head of cattle with
Jim Wilson and Art Bridenvelt of
Wyoming, and then came an un-
precedented drouth on the western
ranch. The cattle stampeded for
water. The four men hurried in des-
peration to bore for water, sinking
a we'll on the ranch.
They found no water, but they
struck oil. A sample was sent to a
laboratory, where it was pronounced
90 per cent gasoline. Now a COM
pany has been organized to exploit
the field The cattle have been
shipped back to Nebraska.
