STAMPS OF
EUROPEAN STATES

LONDON.-Stamp collectors, Of
which London has its full share. are
enthusiastic over the curious post
age stamps which are beginning to
reach them from the smaller Euro
pean states.
One example from Lithuania is OF
the first permanent issue of that
country. 1t has been Autographed

Lettland, Lithuania's neighbor,
printed its first stamps on the backs
of German ordnance maps, but these
proved a little unwieldy and now
its stamps are printed on the fiimsi-
est of cigarette papers.
Czecho-Slovakia stamps recently
received here are simply the united
arms of Bohemia, Moravia and ST.
lesia, with the inscription "Czecho-
Slovenska Statni" printed on the
Magyar stamps. They were issued
when the Czecho-Slovak troops in
vaded Hungary.

PEACE-TIME SAVING.

During the first eight months Of
1919 the people of the Twelfth
Federal Reserve District, embracing
the states of Washington, California,
Oregon. Idaho, Utah, Nevada, part
of Arizona and the territories of
Hawaii and Alaska, saved S7,079,-
255.75 by the purchase of Thrift
and War Savings Stamps. according
10 a report just issued by the War
Loan Organization. High prices
were hit just that hard" said Rob-
ert E. Smith, director of the or
eanization. las every dollar saved
helps bring down prices"
The amount saved, however, the
report shows, is only 1879 percent
of the quota asked to date by the
Government from residents of the
Twelfth district. A. che beginning
of the year, the treasury depart
ment fixed a quota Of ten dollars
per capita as sufficient to help the
Government meet lis war debts.
The ten dollar quota is just half
the per capita quota asked in 1918.
1.-THE people are not standing up
to their responsibilities in this dis
trict," said c. A Farnsworth, as
sociate director of the War Loan
Organization. The Government
needs this money jus: as much now

as it did during the war, and is
depending upon every man, woman,
and child in the district to lend it
ten dollars before the end of the
year. Of course, there are in
digents in the West who haven't ter
dollars to lend their country, and
there are others who have the ten
dollars who aren't enough American
to lend it to their country. Con-
sequently real Americans must in
vest more than their quota if the
West is to save its face before the
rest of the country"
High prices" the report points
out, would be struck a serious
blow if the people of the West
would only save something out of
every pay envelope or salary check
if the wage or salary Garner
would make War Stamps the first
item on his budget each week. The
money saved would cut down de-
mand for Injuries and at the same
time provide capital for greater
production of necessities. The best
economists in the country are
agreed that this is the only way
to lover prices-that congressional
investigations and prosecutions of
profteers will not affect price re-
auctions.
Work and save regularly is the
only remedy" the report concludes.

No one is allowed to go unless he
or she has a good reason for being
in the United States. The wealthy
Britisher who wishes to escape after
war conditions here and see a coun-
try he has heard so much about
recently is in the same category
as the Italian or French waiter who
wants to seek a job "out there"
But if any one has anything to sell
these cases are in the great mi
nority, however, as few people in
England have anything that is need
ed in the United States-or if they
wish to go to purchase, they are
given every facility.
Every morning, an hour or so
before the consulate opens, line
of aliens forms. Often there are
from rs to 100 in the queue and
more keep coming. An average
of nine out of ten will be disap-
pointed.
A British woman, evidently of
means and just as evidently lacking
diplomacy, made no attempt to con-
ceal her irritation at standing in
line an hour and half. Her reason
for wanting to go to the United
States, she said. was to visit some
relatives.

of the examiner the question wheth-
er she would be gladly received by
the mother of the young man. Her
case was held up for consideration.
The young officer doubtless is home,

MRS. GEO. BLAIR
SUFFERED FOR
"A LONG YEARS
In Good Health AS Ever In
Her Life Since Taking
Tanlac-Gains ii Pounds.

You may not believe me when
tell you that l would not exchange
! the good health l have since taking
Tanlac for the biggest gold mine
in the world, but it is true just the
same," said Mrs. George Blair, who
lives on Route No. 5, Peoria, Ill.,,
while talking to Tanlac representa-
tive the other day.
"About fourteen years ago." she
continued, "my health broke down
all at once, and when l think of all
the suffering I have gone through
with since that time, l really Won
der that l am alive today. During
all that time l never knew what it
was to eat a meal without suffering
terribly with indigestion afterwards.
My stomach was in such bad condi-
ton that even just a few bites of
any kind of food would sour and
cause gas to form. l couldn't eat
enough to hold my strength, and I
just gradually went down hill until
| was SO thin and weak that l was
hardly able to get about at all.
Then, too, my kidneys bothered me
great deal, and l simply can't
describe the awful pains l had in
the small of my back, and when 1
would sit down or lie down it was
very difficult for me to get up
again. My nerves were in such bad
condition that the least little noise
would startle me and give me a
severe nervous headache which
would often put me in bed for a
whole day.
"When l began taking Tanlac my
health was just about as poor as it
could be, but / am thankful to say
that everything is quite different
with me now. Why, by the time I
had finished my first bottle of Tan
lac / felt better than / had for
years, and I kept on improving I'M
til / had gotten rid of every one
of my troubles. The good that Tan
lac has done me is almost unbeliev-
able, but it is really true that I am
in as good health now as l ever was
in my life. All that stomach trou-
BILE is thing of the past, and it is
Just grand to be free of those awful
pains in my back. I never had
such an appetite, and everything l
eat agrees with me perfectly, and
[ have actually gained fourteen
pounds in weight. l just feel fine
all the time, and my nerves are in
such perfect condition that l sleep
we'll every night. I honestly believe
that there are many nights l sleep
so sound that I don't even turn
over in bed, and l feed so rested and
refreshed when I get up in the
mornings. We are great believers
in Tanlac at our house and never
lose an opportunity to speak a good
word for it"

No Difference in U. S.
You could hardly say that there

answered Miss Towne.
Isn't there some things that COM
pensate for not being able to gig
gle and laugh and crowd in street
cars, and wear flying colors at a
base ball game, like.high schoolers?
That doesn't apply to georgette
waists worn by women and girls
enough older to- be the ideal of the
high school lass" answered Miss
Towne.
SO women continue to ponder and
ponder whether they may find an
island off and away where only
these above this dead line age may
gather and dress, and wear georgette
and have complexions without con-
Eliminating those younger,
ITS true as l said at the Wo-
mans club" she continued, that
until women distinguish between
things proper for the street, such as
suits and general street clothes and
these thin georgette waists that per
fectly respectable women wear, |
cannot teach girls that they should
not wear them.
r. Blame Falls Upon Elders.
There is street style that needs
no explanation, but perhaps I've
said too much now, but you can't
criticize girls without critizing those
whom they initiate
So we poor out of High school
people can't wear middies and sweat
ers like unto them; we can't have
even one little pink spot to help out
our own; we can't wear frilly, thin
waists lest we harm our youthful
imitators-guess we'll just have to
amend DR.. Osler's decision and plan
to chloroform all above High school
age lest by our acts they are inf1u-
enced!
At least that is the only way out
if Miss Towne's advice is taken
literally, according to the women OF
fashion in Omaha.

POLICE ALICE
H0LD-UP FAXED
TO ROB ANOTHER
Letter from Guest in Next
Room Tells of How
Hastings and Bond
Planned Deal.

' Albert Hastings and Ira Bond,
two Omaha real estate traders, are
being sought by Omaha police for
completely in an alleged fake hold
UP staged Sunday night in the Har-
ney hotel.
Hastings reported to the police
that himself, Bond and George
Woods, Council Bluffs, had been
robbed at 9 o'clock Sunday night i'll
Hastings hotel room. He said the
two robbers, men who had called
ostensibly to negotiate a land deal,
had taken $46 from him, $40 from
Bond and an unknown amount from
Woods.
Alleged Hold-Up. To-.
Police allege that the hofdup was
a frameup to rob Woods. In sup
port of their charges they produce
letter from a guest at the Harvey
hotel, who occupied a room adjoin-
ing Hastings.
The police withhold the identity
of the writer of the letter.
1t relates a conversation supposed
to have been held by Hastings and
Bond in which the holdup was plan
ned
The two voices, the writer of the
letter said, mentioned that Woods
always had $1,000 or more in his
pocketbook,
Bond and Hastings were recently
tried in police court on a charge of
having swindled Sam Joe. former
Omaha restaurant keeper, Of val
liable Omaha apartment bafding.
The case was tried about 10 days
ago and was featured by allegations
of blackmail from both sides. Joe
admitted that he had been influenced
by others to file the charges against
Bond and Hastings.
The letter referring to the alleged
fake" hold-up received by the po-
lice reads as follows:
This man Hastings, and this
man Bond-the short fellow-fram-
ed this holdup themselves, as l
heard them talking through the door
in the next room.
"They said: Now, this fellow
Woods has got about ST 900 on him
and he don't drink and we will have
to get this money \
"'Well,' one of them said, l think
it was Hastings, the big fellow. We
will frame holdup.' .......
$50 they called up a number like
Douglas 1851 (Orpheum Garden)
and asked if Pete was there and
said, Can see you right away
$50 then they went out and in
about two hours four men came in
and went to Hastings room"
The balance of the letter police
have suppressed.
Nothing has been learned of the
identity of woods" other than that
he lives at Council Bluffs. He failed
to report his loss to police.

Poor "we-uns" who are over 10!
We can't powder our nose, with any
fluffy white powder puff, we can't
wear dainty georgette waists-either
dark or light-summer or winter
we can't venture stray glance at
complexion that comes in little
round box-we can't follow Dame
Fashion and wear 'in at the feet"
dresses.
We can't do any of these things
according to the letter of the state
ment made by Miss Jesse Towne,
dean of the girls in Central High
school at a meeting of a woman's
club.
We can't do any of these things
because if we do some little miss
in high schol will follow our habits
and will powder her l6-year-old nose
and will adopt slimsy georgette
waists and even attempt complex
ion other than her own.
Their Favorite Attacked.
This statement brought storm OF
protest yesterday from Omaha wom-
er-they were alarmed to see
fashions favorite - the georgette
waist-attacked.
What can we do and what can
we wear?" they asked.
And just to find out, reporter
asked that same question of Miss
Tcwne, between classes at the Cen
tral High. ...
81 don't attempt to criticise or
dictate to Omaha women alone,
said Miss Towne, "but there are
street clothes and there are those
waists which appear on the street
which the high school girls are de-
termined to initiate in the extreme.
II am glad to say that the MAORI
ty of our girls now dress simply
look in the halls and see them in
their sweaters, middies, one-piece
dresses-but these diminish with ev-
cry georgette fad"
So that must be the option left
US!

see Miss Twenty and Thirty or
Forty-year-old trip down town,

pie one-piece dress-for her salary
