Gossip is like mud thrown

Be natural, borrowed garments

There are people who think they

Ability to Profit
There is sometimes mucl abil-

good advice.
There is nothing like the candOr

Things that "cannot be done"

President Starts on
His Ocean Cruise

His Ocean Cruise
president ROOSEVELT went
by train to Charleston, S. c., to
board the cruiser Indianapolis for
a jaunt in southern waters. He said
he was not certain where the ship
would take him, but in Washington
it was assumed that he would pro-
coed at once for Buenos Aires to
attend the opening of the Pan-Amer-
lean peace conference on Deem
Der /. In that case he will make
stops at Port of Spain, Rio de jan
GIRO and Montevideo, and will not
return before December Is. If his
plans are changed, he will merely
spend two or three weeks fishing
in the Caribbean.
At his last press conference be-
fore departing the President said
he had about completed drafting
the 1887 budget. He said also that
he had outlined to his subordinates
the things he wants done during his
absence, these including:
Drafting of a farm tenancy law
to end evils attending the system of
share-cropping and farm tenancy,
now chiefly prevalent in the South.
Clarifying amendments to the So
cial security act.
Amendments to the Tennessee
Valley Authority act, permitting
broader social and economic i'm
provement of the regions served by
the Twas huge power projects.

San Francisco's Bridge
Formally Opened

g AN FRANCISCO'S dream of 80
y years was realized when the
great bridge across the bay of Oak
land was formally opened with elab-
crate ceremony. This largest vehic-
ular bridge in the world has been
under construction since July 10,
1888, at a cost of SIT, 0O0,O 900, the
funds being largely supplied by the
Reconstruction Finance corporation.

The butterflies

Not unlike the Pilgrims or the
Acadians, the butterflies, too, came
to America to escape persecution.
Their history dates back to the Six
teenth century, when, soon after the
Reformation, this particular sect
originated. Their basic principles
stress simple life under the Ten
Commandments and the teachings
of Christ. The butterflies were NO.
known by their present name until
1774, when Jacob Hutter, religious
leader, led a band of his followers
to Russia to escape persecution in
Germany.

Steel Workers Ask
for LEGISLATION

FIRST of the big groups that aid
ed in the reelection of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to call on him for
their reward, the steel workers
have asked that the Chief Executive
recommend to the next congress the
passage of legislation outlawing
company unions and forbidding CO.
ercion of workers by employers.
George A. Patterson and Elmer
j. Malol, employee representatives
of the Carnegie-Illinois Steel COM
pany, carried this request to the
White House.
The Carnegie Illinois company
has offered employees 10 per cent
wage increase on condition that
workers sign an agreement to per-
NIT adjustment of wages to the cost
of living. At his press conference
President Roosevelt said living
costs should not be permitted to op-
crate to curb wage increases. Fur
thermore, Secretary of Labor Per-
kins ruled informally that the en-
ployee representative had no au-
thority to sign such an agreement
for their fellow employees.

About Iacouer

Lacquer is a solution of a SUBJ
stance similar to celluloid in which
the desired coloring pigment has
been mixed. 1t differs from paint
primarily in that it dries by the
simple evaporation of solvents,
whereas paints and varnishes de-
pend for their drying upon a slow
chemical process of oxidation. Lac
quer can stand extremes in temper
ature. 1t is waterproof, can be
cleaned and gives high lustre.

durable, is suitable for wood, metal,

Hitler Scraps Another
Treaty Clause

a DOLF HITLER has torn up an
a other clause of the Versailles
treaty-the one that International
lied the German rivers and canals.
He has announced that the reich has
resumed sovereignty over all such
waters. The treaty clause was de-
signed partly to give Czecho-
slovakia free access to the sea, and
that nation now has agreed with
Belgium to protest formally against
Germany's action. British Foreign
Minister Eden rather mildly criti-
cized Hitler's course.

into second language. These in

Utilities District
Sees Up-Turn
In New Business

Mrs. Omaha IS going shopping
for a new kitchen! In keeping with
. nationwide movement toward
modernization, Omaha women are
discovering just how truly invit-
ing and pleasant a kitchen can be,
with proper equipment.
As evidence of this local move
ment Mr.. ". j. Barber, Assistant
General Manager of the Metropoli-
tan Utilities District cites the re-
cent upturn in the purchase of
modern gas ranges
"Our sales of gas ranges have
increased definitely during the last
three months Of 1885," Mr.. Bar
Der says. I'm fact, we can hardly
keep pace with the inordinate de-
mand for modern gas cooking
ranges"
81 am firmly convinced that this
indicates a healthy sign of rapid
recovery. Women are dissatisfied
with their old stoves, their old re-
frigerators. their drab dark kit
chens. They feel, and rightly so,
that the kitchen is the place to
start moderizing. Usually the most
important single piece of equip
ment in the kitchen is the gas
range. A range that is good
enough is often antique and inef-
ficient. requiring a great dea.
more labor and drudgery in cook.
ing meals than the new. modern
up-to-date gas range.
"Many women are surprised
when We demonstrate to them JUS
how much advancement has beer
made in the design and feature,
of gas ranges. Automatic lighting
when the burner is turned on is Z
commonplace with the modern ga;
range, but we find many womeT
surprised when we demonstrate
this feature. Accurate oven control
too, is not widely known. The mod
ern gas range has oven regulation
that IS absolutely faultless, due tc
advances made in insulation Of the
oven and burner equipment. Anoth-
er thing, the new ranges consume
less gas fuel and operate more &C.
oomically, due TO the modern
methods Of combustion and abso-
Lutte even insulation. What appeals
most. perhaps, is the modern de
sign and appearance of the modern
gas ranges-and let me tell you
they are really beautifully, smart,
Chi ard all the words women like
to apply to something truly mod
ern and attractive
A serious effort will be made by
the Utilities District to acquaint
Omaha women with the merits Of
gas cooking and the modern gas
range this year. A campaign is
contemplated which will include
instructive and interesting adver-
Using, cooking demonstrations.
etc. which will show just how mod
ern and desirable gas cookinng is.
The theme of the campaign will
be "Go Modern with Mrs. Modern"
and enjoy the full benefits of gas
as a fuel for cooking. 1t viii bene-
fit all Omaha dealers in approved
Gas Ranges.
