Americanization Is Discussed by Womans’ Club Dr. E. C. Vermillion of Akron, O.; Migs Alice Loomis and Mrs. Eva Morge Are Principal Speakers. “Every American woman should assist In educating the foreign-born women,” declared Dr. E. C. Vermil lion of Akron, O., former state di rector of Americanization for Ohio, who spoke before the education de partment of the Omaha Woman's rluh Monday afternoon in Burgess Nash auditorium. Dr. Vermillion, who is on a lecture tour In the In terest of Americanization, came to Omaha for the state meeting of teachers last week. "It is the personal contact with these foreign-born people which will bring results, and we cannot hope to educate them until we show a friendly and neighborly spirit toward them,” he said. “The best results can be gained through the foreign born women, who are beginning to take nn interest in school affairs and ci'izenshtp since the vote has been given to them. In adult education, it is necessary that the teachers be speclr'.ly trained for the work, as it is far different from teaching the chi’d the English language.’’ The sneaker was Introduced by Miss Ella Thomgate, local director of Americanization in the public schools. Miss Alice I.oomis, director of the home economics section of the Ne braska board for vocational educa tion, told of the work that is be'ng accompl’shed in her department. “If we are to help the foreign born, we must first tench them to read and write in our language and secondly educate them along the lines best suited for their needs,” she said. “Only 2 per cent of our petjple are reached through the universities and 8R nut of every 100 leave the public schools at the age of 1G." Mrs. Eva Moore, assistant direc tor of adult education, forking un der the Omaha Board of Education, told of the work that is being ac complished among the foreign born at Cass school.

A. “The time will come soon for cold intellectual analysis.” he said. “The greater the study in your women's organizations, the greater the op portunity in politics.” "The question of a woman in the cabinet will depend a great deal up on the president in office,” said the speaker.

Mrs. Anthony French Merrill, who has been coming to Omaha for many years, giving a series of six lectures at this season, opened her 1923 course Monday morning at the Blackstone hotel. Several hundred women filled the lecture room on the eighth floor. Mrs. Merrill's subjects are on current literature and drama. Broadly speak ng, Mrs. Merrill’s first lecture dealt with the course of man in a world changed and chang ing by scientific discovery. "Science has revolutionized living more than war or politics," she said. "Science has moved faster than the spirit of man. Man the ch Id, we see everywhere in the world today. How can man acquire ability to use well the developments of the age?" Books and articles cited by Mrs. Merrill along this line were: "Gifts of Science to the Age," by Sir Richard Gregory. This book, as 'he title lmpl es, enumerate the new 1 gifts of science to man. "Anyone who has seen a baby drink ing tomato Juice, fruit Juice or vege- 1 table soup from a bottle, knows that ' the old theories about food are molt- 1 ing away?" she said. "What to eat, and what not, has become a burning question. "The science of nutrition as well as - the whole field of new conclusions as to what we are, and what we need, are broken to us gently," the speaker Informed, “In ‘Outlines of Science’ by J. Arthur Thompson. "A text book for the race,” Mrs. Merrill called the book which comes in four volumes. "The New World of the Atom,” 1 by Prof. W. L. Bragg, In the July number of the Yale Review was rec ommended by the speaker as an it luminating article on the great un solved atom. "The new psychologists are study ing the cat," Mrs. Merbill Informed. ' "They know the history of the cat, its reaction to training, education and environment. They have work ed out its processess learnedly, and yet no one can prophecy where, in a new situation a cat will Jump, be cause, there is within him," she said, "that germ of life which is incalcu able. The mystery of man is pro founder than that of the cat. What : can man make of the forces and1, powers newly placed within his grasp? Which way will he Jump?" "The Adventure of Living" by Lyt- ■ ton Strachey, an autobiography, I treat* of this Incalculable germ of life." The old theory that progress 1* In evitable is taken up In "Modern Prog rees and History," by Dr, Walsh and "What is Progress,” by Robert Shafer,” according to Mrs. Merrill. Mrs. Merrill named as handicaps of today, (1) a loss of the great certain ties, (2) trying to be clever instead ] ol' good, and (3) worry about money I affairs. "Man does not live by knowledge but by his great certainties,” said Mrs. Merrill. "Dr. Jung's new book, ‘The Psychological Types,' deals with man and these certainties among them, love, hope, duty and particu larly religion." Tuesday’s Social Gaieties. Mrs. Joseph F.

By MARTHA ALLEN. COLLEGE Bred writes that she is anxious to know if it isn't com mon to spoon. Her question is not prompted by any highbrow atti tude, she asserts. A perfectly normal person ie what she calls herself. She answers her own question indirectly with that “isn't.” Higher education is beginning to have its effect upon this girl because of the verdict al ready made as to spooning, its com monness. A ray of good Judgment is shining through the haze of romantic longing. If college has this effect I'd on the younger generation every effort should be made to send all boys and girls there. Perhaps a course in "The Harm of Promiscuous Love Making" would be helpful. By com mon, it is assumed this young woman means cheap and that with that word in'her mind she should realize noth ing worthwhile is cheap. It is a uni versal habit of all love seekers to spoon, and is just like any other habit, hard to overcome. One kiss Plight not do any harm but not many persons know when to stop. If the start isn’t made on spooning, the habit Is something you'll not have to f’ght against.

J.: Be sure that your diet Is correct before you try to clear a bad complexion with facial applications. Kat only vegetables, lean meats and fruit for a month or two and see if your complexion doesn't Improve. Klch gravies, heavy puddings and fat meats are harmful. For the pimples arid blackheads put hot cloths to the face until the skin is red. Then rub a good lather of soap into the skin, rinsing with warm water, and then ice cold water to close the pores. Your skin may peel when this treatment is lirst followed, but there Is no need to worry. New skin is what you prob ably need. Bob: If your face Is long and thin, bobbed hair would be becoming to you, I should think. The newest style of “bobs" seems to be with hair cut to a length covering the ears and cut quite closely to the back of the head. If you curled the cut locks it would make your face seem a little wider. Anna: There are no set rules for travel in a patlor car. Tickets for reservations on a parlor car are usually purchased with the railroad ticket, if there is no parlor car on the train consul the ticket agent as to a seat in the Pullman car if you are going only a short distance. Anxious: Girls of 14 and 16 years seem rather young to have beaux Your parents will have to settle the question of the hour you should re turn home. ---i Comings and Goings of _Pe tfrle You Know_ Miss Dorothy Dahlman returns Wednesday from a two weeks’ east ern trip.

Adele Garrison “My Husband's Love” Lillian’!) Viewpoint Comforted Madge. At my tempestuous outburst, Lil lian looked at me steadily, and there was that in her kind eyes which calmed me. There was not only wis dom in those eyes, but suffering also, and the authority which is born of both. I felt suddenly young and in experienced beside her. “From the standpoint of strict jus tice," she said slowly at last, “there is no reason in the world why you should ‘trouble yourself to make the best of Dicky’s flirtation with an other woman.’ ” She repeated my words colorlessly, without stressing any one of them, but 1 winced as if she had weighted them with irony. “But—would you be happier if you didn’t make the best of it ? If you would, I should advise you to make a row or cut loose from Dicky alto gether. At that, those two courses mean the same thing eventually, you know." Yes, I did know. I acknowedged that as I shrank involuntarily from the picture she had limned for me with so few strokes. Dicky might indulge in futile rages, as evanescent as they were tempestuous, but some-1 thing within me, a knowledge of my | Peter Pan born of my love for him. told me that if I descended to the jealous raging fury over his dere lictions which many women would have meted out to him, he might ac-1 eept the first one as a proof of my ! love for him, but It would be the be ginning of the end for us both. Nothing Save Annoyance. But It was the alternative Lillian had named which stripped the futile anger from me, leaving only the stark realization of what life would mean tb me were I to "cut loose from Dicky altogether." I knew, of course, that if ever I became con vinced of his ceasing to care for me, or of his allegiance to another wo man. I should find pride and cour age from somewhere to go out of his life altogether. Deep In my heart, however, although often clouded over by jealous fear, lay the conscious ness that Lillian was right when she raid that Dicky was essentially loyal to me, and that I had nothing save annoyance to fear from his occasional flirtations. It was a lnog minute before I could speak. Then I looked grate fully at Lillian, and murmured a wan “thank you," which brought her sud denly across the room to my chair. She bent and kissed me warmly, rest- ' ed her hand upon my shoulder for an Instant and went back to her seat. "I know," she said, comprehend ingly. "Nobody better. IPs undi luted—perdition—for women which ever way you look at it. The per son who first emitted the classic. 'You neither can live with 'em nor without 'em,' should be credited with saying a dozen mouthfuls Instead of one." She stooped to the tiny wood box, am} laid nnother stick upon the fire. Something In her words, and the look upon her face swerved me sharply. Pushing Dicky and his transgressions firmly Into an unused chamber of my brain and turning the key upon them, I furtively studied my friend's face, finding etched upon it lines of pain which either she had been able to mask cleverly when she entered the apartment, or which I had been too selfishly absorbed to no tice. Romance After Tragedy. I had suspected for some time that her affair with the famous artist, Robert Havarln—the Idyllic romance which had begun in Lilian'* young g rlhood, and had been resumed after years of tragedy had saddened both their young Uvea—was not going smoothly. No one who saw them could doubt their deep love for each other, but ever since the memorable day at his sister's, when Robert had betrayed ljis dislike for Lili an's gov ernment work, and the Jealousy that was In him against any personable man with whom that work associated her, I had guessed that Lillian wa* weighing very carefully the pos sib litles—and probabilities—of un happiness to them both should she link her life to his. Was It possible that she finally had severed definite ly the *!n between the? Her letter had told me about Robert and his sla in were about to start for Europe, and that she and Marlon were cut l.ng short their visit on that ac count. I had wondered at the sudden decision, so unlike Robert Savarln’* dreamy deliberations. Did It mean that the two had come to the parting of the ways? For Miss Emily Burke and Her Cousin.
