l aw Enforcement Is Made Aim of ^ Wolnan’s Club on 30th Birthday Organization Banded for Serv ice, Mrs. Phillip Potter, President, Says—Build ing plans Discussed. The Omaha Woman's club opened Its 30th year Monday afternoon in the Burgess-Nash auditorium with an overflow attendance. Following a prayer by Rev. Edwin Hart Jenks, the club sang the general federation song, "America the Beautiful,” led by Mrs. Grace Poole Steinberg with Mrs. John Haarmann at the piano. "We are banded together for serv ice more than culture," said the pres ident, Mrs. Philip Potter, in her ad dre.eg of greeting. "Education, philan thropy and civics are our three great aims. We must work for law enforce ment, which is the greatest question of the day." Mrs. Potter urged each club woman to bring in at least one new member. "We want a permanent home and need one, and if we are to enlarge our club interests we must enlarge our membership,” she stated. Site Almost Paid For.

It cannot be overcome by will power, but should be treated the same as tuberculosis and other diseases by competent medical men. "Many soldiers were addicted in base hospitals during the war. They are innocent victims, yet they are given no treatment and are forced to get the narcotics from the graft ven ders of the underworld. Education Is the great need of the hour. When we come to think of the drug habit in terms of sickness instead of vice we will be able to help these people,” she concluded.

The doorway upon which I had ’stumbled evidently was the entrance to the kitchen of the janitor’s head quarters, and a more Immaculate place I never hope to see. There was a cheeriness In Its home ly comfort, also, which, alas! does not ►^always accompany scrupulous cleanll ness. Tne woodwork was brave In yellow paint, the window panes were shining—and with the handicap of city dust what that meant in terms of constant care, I well knew—and upon the sills, where they could catch every bit of the scanty sunlight, were six scarlet geraniums, those hardiest soldiers of the indoor gardens. A gas range glitterejj with the high polish only hard rubbing could give Its surface, and the faucets of the sink might have been made of some precious metals.

This surmise had been con firmed later by her garrulous hus band, who did an occasional bit of heavy cleaning for me, and who had bemoaned the “bad pains" from which his wife suffered. I had deduced rheumatism, and now I had proof of my diagnosis in her swollen feet. Cased in woolen stock ings, they rested on a cushion before her, while a pair of old fashioned "carpet slippers," large enough for a man, lay beside her chair. She greeted my unexpected appear ance at her door with a smile which lit up her pain-twisted face. “Come in. Missis Graham, and please excuse me,” she said simply. “My feet are ferypa<\ today. I schust took my slippers off, for I couldn't stand on my feet any longer. Did you want Mr. Schwartz? He must be around here somewhere. Sit down till h6 comes." "Thank you," I said, promptly drawing a chair nearer her and sit ting down, for I saw she would be more at her ease with me seated. "I do want to see your husband. He has promised to show me some apart ments this morning for a relative of mine.” "Yes, I know,” she interpolated. "He told me. Of course I shouldn't say anything, but if I were in your place, I would take the one on the same side of the house as you are. The woman who has that to rent she is very clean about her rooms, while the other one on the other side —veil I mustn’t say anythings, but I can’t help having eyes! And X said to Schwartz, you were too nice and kind a lady to get into a place that you wouldn’t like. But of course he has to show all the places to any body that asks, that's his Job, you know," she added a bit wistfully. “Of course,” I agreed heartily, "and I shall look at both of them. But I am sure I shall be very glad to take your advice, and thank you so much for giving me the hint.” A flush came into her faded cheeks, and she looked at me with grateful eyes. I guessed that few callers came into her life, and she was mak ing the most of my visit. "It's no more than I ought to do,” she said. "It’s hard for a young thing like you, with no experience, to know all about rooms like these.” Woman like I felt my heart warm to her at the absurd compliment. But I did not take time to contradict her. “It’s awfully good of you to help me,” Isaid humbly, "I've been won dering. since I saw your lovely kitch en, if I couldn’t make some arrange ment with you to help me out in another matter." She shot a sudden keen look at me, and I realized that she was as shrewd as she was kindly. "What was it you wanted?” she asked cautiously. “I have four people, relatives and friends, coming to visit me this eve ning," I explained. "There are rea sons why I do not wish to take them to a restaurant, and you know I can not manage much of a dinner on my gas-plate.” "I could not get dinner for you,” she interrupted hastily. "It is all I can do to do my own cooking.” "Oh! no!” I answered as hastily, “I didn’t mean that. But I wondered if I couldn't rent your stove—espe cially your oven—for a few hours this afternoon?” Lutheran Women Will • Convene at Columbus Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.
