Employees of Three Large

Employees Of three important com.

On the cold little feet Of small boys and

Omaha. With the contribution from
the workers IN the Kirschbraun &

verse.

Employees OF three yards Of the Up

in $3.50.
The present bitter cold and damp
weather is particularly hard on the
children of the very poor where scarce
ly enough food can be obtained to say
nothing of shoes. Many mothers toll
through the night, scrubbing in Office
buildings or doing other work in the
heroic fight to feed and shelter their
little ones. Some are even worse off 4,

Vinced il is not from blind hatred of

with reference to the original pact
quite fairly. 1t was proffered as an
answer to those who claimed that the

There WAS a strong party In France
which urged NJ. Clemenceau to de-
mand that the Rhine should be treat

country and that advantage should be
taken of the overwhelming defeat of
Germany to extend the boundaries of
France TO that fateful river. For un.

In "A generation, once more overflow
its banks and devastate France. The
most moderate and insidious form
this demand took was proposal that
the German provinces on the left bank
Of the Rhine should remain in
French occupation until the treaty
had been fulfilled.
That meant forever.
The reparations. alone--skilfully
handled hy the Quai d Orsay--would
preclude the possibility of ever witnes-

gument by which they supported their
claim was the defenselessness of the

barrier. France had been twice in

German military power was now
crushed and provinces Of the German

The Scientific Wonders
 of The Great Pyramid

AS to the Great Pyramid of Gizeh, volumes have been written about it, and dozens more could be Wrltten- There is not one single stone or meas 1,rement in the whole titanic edif1ce that does not seem to point to sc1- entific purpose, although that purpose continues a dispute.
 This much is certain: whoever built the pyramid knew a lot more in many ways than do our modern scientists Here are a few facts. It is the only building in the world that is oriented pass. Its measurements, extended, give the weight of the world in tons and the mean distance between the earth and sun in miles. Its base is an exact fraction of the diameter of the earth from pole to pole-to be earth's ssemi-axis. It stands within a few feet of the exact center of the earth'S ha bitable area, and in all ike lihood is only those few feet out of place because the rock on whic h 1t stands is necessary to its foundations. Its inside temperature
 its descending passage points upward exactly toward the Pole Star. Its in side temperature is exactly the mean between the boiling and freezing g points of water at that level. Its di- mensions are said to solve the prob lem of the squaring of the circle; and strangely enough, it appears to estab- fish the scientific basis of the English gallon measure and the English inch. as against the so-eaned metric meas urement.
 The great coffer, which was the only thing every found inside the py- ramid, has exactly the same dimen- sions as those of the Jewish Ark of the Covenant.-F'rom Adventure Magazine for October.

 New York has probably 2S,oOO pools, all except 100 or so being small pri- vate pools in offices and factories, and semi-private enterprises operated in cigar stores. There are four big pools.

Y HE VOGUE of the wearing of \ the comb is increasing daily, not to say nightly. A season or two back, the high Spanish comb came in Swith the silken fringes and shaw1s of Spain. And as the seasons grew, so did the height and width of the combs, until they reached almost amazing propor- tions. And it was found and ad- mitted, that there were other wo- men in the world than the Span ish women, who could wear comb with an air and dash.
 Since combs could no longer in- cfease in size, something else had to be done about them. So they took on color.
 They now come in all sorts of lovely shades, all very brilliant, to accompany matching gowns, or to lend the dash of color to a black velvet dress. Chinese lacquer red ones, and jade green ones are the most vivid and popular per- haps, SO far. But these combs cannot properly be called Spanish combs, even though they are pat termed after them in shape and design
 But the variety in shapes and sizes of the new combs for fall is legion. Some are fan shaped, ohers triangular, some oval; and some so narrow as hardly to be called combs at all, but rather pins.
