Omaha, Nebr.
Aug. Is, 1887
To The Committee on Resolutions,
American Legion,
Department of Nebrasna
In Convention on Aug. 22-25 Inc.
at ~Scottsbluff, Nebraska
Gentlemen:
We want, in this fashion, to in
form your body of a matter which
to some may seem trite, trivial or
unimportant, yet a matter which to
others is of Fundamental Importance
and of great significance.
1t is a matter of gross and un-
warranted discrimination on the
part of a business establishment
endorsed by Omaha Post No. l
when serving as host to the last
American Legion convent on held In
Omaha. "The Trench" a tavern
located at goth and Farnam streets
was listed as a place extending a
welcome to and soliciting the pa
tronage of the delegates to that
convention.
Delegates representing Roosevelt
Post No. 30, on entering the above
named tavern in the company and
presence of other delegates, were
refused service by the operators of
the tavern. There may be reasons
submitted and stated to justify
such action, was there is every
evidence and cause to feel that such
action was the result of diserimina-
tory and prejudiced feelings re-
garding racial affiliations.
Because of this incident we, the
members of Roosevelt Post No. 80
are DESTROYS of submitting the fol-
lowing resolutions
Whereas this organization is
composed of men who a few years
ago were called upon to and did
offer their services, and in so doing
jeopardized their life, in defense
of a cause which had as its goal
the task of making the world safe
for Democracy and
Whereas at that time a mans
service and life was not reckoned
with or consiered in terms of race
and
Whereas the members of Roose.
welt Post No. 80 have attended sew
eral conventions held in cities
throughout the state of Nebraska
and have not on previous occasions
suffered such discrimination and
Whereas in lieu of such facts we
feel that such treatment resulted
from a laxity or oversight on the
part of the entertaining Post, and
Whereas we feel that the pre-
cepts on which It's organization is
founded do not incorporate, encom-
pass or armonize with such occur
ences or Incidents of treatment, we
beg to submit the following resolu-
tions:
Be it resolved that the entertain
ing Post exercise every possible,
care, in planning a convention, to
avoid such treatment of delegates
70 that convention, and
That it be mandatory that the
American Legion, Department of
Nebraska in convention be inform
ed of such discriminatory treat
ment being afforded any delegate,
and
That immediate steps be taken to
correct such erroneous procedures
by the boycott of such establish
ments as r guilty of so acting,
and
Be it further resolved that the
American Legion, Department of
Nebraska in this and every way
live up to the great ideals charact-
eristic of the men whose sincerity,
valor, desire, 0 serve, and devotion
to God and Country was and is
such as to warrant their member
SHY herein.
These resolutions do we respect
fully submit,
Sincerely,

into a dressing room.
She waved aside the maid who
attempted to help the actress into
the black gown. LET me help you, %
she offered and lifted the gown over
the ashen head.
Pulling it on, Francine said,
miss Weston, I'm terribly happy
that you are so pleased. I'm so
happy that I can forget my own
disappointment. You know didn't
design them; they were turned
over to a little artist in the shop"
Didn't you?" Lame asked,
struggling into the clinging frock.
1t mattered little to her who had
done them so long as they were so
perfect:
I'm mad about this one" she
added from within the folds of
crepe.
F'rancine fastened the last of the
hooks and stood off. LANE Weston
didn't look into the mirror at first.
She was staring instead at the ex-
preston Of shocked surprise on
Francine's face. She didn't see the
CLEAN in Francine's narrowed eyes.
Then she turned and looked in the
mirror. Saw the angular lines the
gown gave her. figure. the cruel,
stark brutality Of it. Then she
opened her mouth and shrieked!
Mary heard the tumult that fol-
lowed. Lanes voice, angry, in a
TRADE; Tony's placating. The
dreadful thought struck her:
Something went wrong with the
black gown!
/ She waited for the nightmare to
come upon her. It did.
Because it sickened her. deep in
her heart, she tried not to hear
what was said in that. back room
few minutes later. There was
Tony, furious, out Of, control with
himself, shouting that he had been
a fool to trust an untried girl.
There was more go. and more.
There was Francine, calm, ex-
pressionless save for that steely,
smiling light in her eyes. There
were filters, cutters, seamstresses
explaining that they'd followed
the patterns. Mary had made the
patterns.
She sat there long after the
others had left for the night, per-
picked, forlorn, with her hopes
crumbled about her and the dis
carded black gown thrown con-
temptuously on cutting table.

You can't blame him for putting
on a good show in front of Wes-
ton. She's been his best girl for
years. It'll all blow over by to-
morrow. They can whip up an
other little number. So don't
worry about it,
Don't worry about it. Don't
worry about anything. Everything
is just lovely. You've only lost
everything! You poor fool. You
dared to think you were an artist,
that Tony Castle was falling in
love with you. She's been his best
girl for years. He doesn't care
about you or your talent. Ask
him what he thinks of your talent.
A nice fuke, wasn't it? A
FLUKE? How could it have
bees? After the patterns were
made, the muslins had been cut
and Francine herself -.
FRANCINE!
Mary's unhappy reverie came to
an abrupt end.
She snatched the discarded
gown from the table and half
stumbled to her studio where the
box containing her duplicate pat
terms was stored. She took the
patterns out and pinned them to
the gown. The evidence Of what
Francine had done was before her
eyes. She had deliberately dis
torted them! Deliberately ruined
the gown, not knowing that Mary
had duplicate patterns.
For one wild moment, Mary
felt triumphant. She could take
them to Tony, prove to him -.
Then she remembered: Tony
wanted none of her.. He belonged
to Lame Weston.
Oh, she could lock him out of
her heart and out Of her thoughts
but someday . :, someday she
would prove to him that she was
an artist. She'd make him &C
knowledge that.
Her leaden eyes fell on a book
Of sketches. The word PARIS
caught her eye. She stared at it
for a moment and picked up a
pencil. She had $500 in the saw
ings bank and $1,000 in bonds that
her. grandmother had left her.
She had a passport. The morn
ing paper lay at her hand. Slowly
she picked it up, turned the sheets
to the shipping page. Her finger
traced a column.
Gradually life came back to her
numbed senses. Losing Tony had
given her back an impossible
dream.

CHAPTER Z

MARY BARRETT thought thai
June q was the longest day she
had ever lived. She didn't know
that it was to be one of the most
important days in her life.
On her calendar pad there was a
small note:
Weston costumes to be ready for
final try-on.
Five p. m.
At 8 O'Clock, Sadie, one of the
sewing room slaveys, poked her
head into Mary's studio.
Miss Barrett, two of the things
are ready" she said.
Had it been an unwilling, Mary
could not have been more thrilled
than she was when she looked at
the breath-taking negligee. The
turquoise beauty of it with flashes
Of silver circling down like the
wings of a sea bird.
She turned from that to the sable
and saffron gown. The touch of
the soft chiffon, the incredibly rich
fur made her fingertips Jingle.
where's the black one?" she
asked. Her gown.
MRS. Long is finishing it." she
was told.
"Let me know when it is ready"
She went back to her studio Office
and closed the door back of her.
She wanted to SAVIOR the moment
that was coming moment
that was hers and yet not hers.
The credit was to be Francine
Longs. For all that, since that
day nearly two weeks ago when
Lame Weston had approved the de-
signs, Mary had literally shaved
over them. It was Mary who was
at the shop early and late, working
over muslins, running to the home
Of the convalescent Francine for
her approval and assistance.
If Francine was jealous of the
younger girl, or if she thought that
Mary had done notable thing, she
gave no sign Of either. Francine
was a machine operating for the
shop and for that Mary was glad.
Francine did not come back to
the shop until two days before the
costumes were to be completed and
in the meantime, Mary had worked
out all the muslin patterns and
made duplicates for herself to keep
and study her own work later.
Then Tony, embarrassed, kindly,
and a little worried, had said,
Mary, do you mind keeping very
much in the background for this
one time! You know Lane is tenn
peramental and perhaps it would
be better all around if she thought
that well, that a more recog-
rized designer had done them"
That's all right" Mary had an
sWered generously. Cali I care
about is getting the job done
right"
And now it was done.
Promptly at o'clock, Lame
stepped out Of her foreign car.
Mary saw her and fled to the work.
room where she could see without
being seen.
Her eyes danced as she peered
through the velvet curtains sep
arating the worlzroom from the
salon. Lame, in the saffron gown,
paraded there. LANES clear voice
easily penetrated the curtains.
TITS enchanting, Tonv!" she
pronounced while her famous hands
caressed the lines that dissolved
her hips. II don't want the slight
est change in it.. Now for the neg
ligee."
While Lame walked slowly before
them, in the turquoise and silver
iovelinesS, Mar!'s eyes were on
Tony. Her OWE heart leaped pain
fully with the happiness and
triumph that filed it when size saw
his face.

| know of a new laundry room
where these simple lighting princi'
pies have been carried out. A light
above the stationary tubs and wash
ing machine provides good seeing
conditions. Another light over IRON
ing board and ironer helps the
laundress to work deft4y and
speedily.
Red oil cloth is used for hangings
at the basement windows. The
walls are cream-colored glazed tile.
There's no reason why laundry
room must be a gloomy dungeon!
The new idea Is to have it well
equipped, light. and attractive.
Jealous in her effort to release
herself from the drudgery OF wash
ings, the housewife has rightly con
centrated on buying new labor and
time.saving equipment. But she
should not overlook the fact that
good lighting is an additional aid,
and at an amazingly low percentage
OF the cost of the other equipment.
Several other handy things have
been worked out in the laundry
room pictured here. There's a table
top covering for the stationary tubs,
for example. Also heavy rubber
cord is suspended short distance
from the ceiling. Into the safety
outlet at the end Of this may be
plugged the washing machine cord,
thus eliminating a coil on the floor
or the removal OF globe from u

VALLEY BOYS
TO TAKE PART
IN AIR RACES

Many visitors to the Imperial
county fair annually are attracted
to the county airport, Just across
the highway from the fair grounds
In the city limits OF Imperial.
Ideally situated for an airport,
the landing field is potentially
one OF the best in California. 1t
is home port for a surprisingly
large number of Imperial Valley
ships. and so the center OF attrac-
ton for many boys who will parti-
cipate in this years fair through
the miniature airplane contest.
Through the efforts of the I'M
pcrial chamber of commerce. sup
plying leadership for civic spirited
residents Of the town, the airport
was recently cleaned of brush and
other debris which for a time
threatened TO make it unpopular
as a landing field.
The airport long has served as a
port of call for United States
army and navy fliers on scouting
or training expeditions. as well
as for many civilian fliers visit

TyHAT once despised room, the
i laundry, is on the way to be-
coming as cheerful as the kitchen.
A big aid in this change. along
with good laundry equipment, is i'm
proved lighting. The fact that good
illumination is sure way to make
laundry work easier and shorter Is
still not known. however. by a lot OF
housewives who work In the gloom.
Most laundry companies long ago
learned that they must have good
lighting as well as good equipment.
When they supplied their ironing
boards and inspection tables with
an abundance OF illumination they
found that snowy white, unscorched
clothes were much easier to turn
out.
In many homes. basement light
ing is still haphazard. Yet proper
lighting for the laundry room Is
such simple matter.
The rule goes like this: Have a
light over each OF the places where
you work. Fixtures similar to the
standard kitchen ones are ideal for
these places glass enclosing
globes, that Is. with which 150-
watt bulb should be used.
A good thing TO know. also, is that
q blue daylight bulb makes IL much
easier for you to see scorched or
soiled spots, especially on white
material.
