Mrs. Edgar S. Penney of Fuller ton, Neb., has been appointed repub lican national committee woman for Nebraska, and her appointment has brought much joy to other women re publican leaders of the state. For Mrs. Penney is the sort of a woman who inspires both love and confidence, and is most thorough and aggressive In her undertakings, her associates say. Mrs. Penney’s record bears out the compliments that are bestowed upon her. An early resident of Nebraska, Mrs. Penney, as a young woman, taught a rural school near Ord. Th« terrible blizzard of 1888, In whieh many lost their lives, gave her an op portunity to display her courage and keen sense of duty. As the blizzard grew more blinding and the temperature dropped to many degrees below zero, MrB. Penney real ized that the lives of the little group of children in her school were in danger. She found some rope, tied the children together, and led them out of the little school building Into the storm. Unable to see In any di rection she nevertheless managed to get the children safely to farm houses. Since then, Mrs. Penney has held many non-political positions of im portance. She was recently president of the Nebraska Federation of Woman’s clubs and served one year is president of the state auxiliary to the American Legion. She was ap pointed by Governor McKelvle to as sist In designing a new state seal. But despite these many duties eho haa never! allowed them to interfere with her family life.

Ah an outgrowth of the recent cam paign of the Omaha Welfare federa tion and Community Chest, a plan Is In operation whereby a distribution of Christmas cheer can lie made to deserving Omaha families. <Phe council of social agencies has asked all agencies, churches, and other institutions giving food and other Christmas cheer to Omaha fam ilies, to register the names and ad dresses of the families to whom they expect to make distribution. Such registration should be made at the Christmas (living Clearing house. By this means it Is hoped to avoid duplication. It will enable those who desire lists of deserving persons to obtain them through the clearing house. In former seasons much of the giving has been dissipated be cause of the cross purposes of num erous organizations not centering their list in one common point so that the greatest number can be served to the greatest good, It Is said. An experienced secretary will be in charge of the registration. Omaha citizens have been urged to submit in writing the names and ad dresses of those who they know are deserving, or ask for names and ad dresses of those to whom they would like to give. The Christmas Giving Clearing house wilibe at the Community Chest office, city hall. Woman Admits Setting Fire to House and Barn Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.

New Police “Stars” Not So Large But They’re Just as Persuasive “Cops ’ Quarrel Over Posses sion of Lucky Numbers, So Seniority Settles It. By these badges, ye shall know them. They are the new insignia of all Omaha detectives, somewhat smaller, and less ornate, than the design for merly in use. Considerable controversy developed in connection with the issuance of the badges, each detective clamoring for his favorite number. As a result, they were issued on the basis of seniority. This made Fred Palmtag and Wil liam Gurnett the "lucky" pair. Palm tag drew No. 11, and Gurnett No. 23. No. 13 was issued to Detective F. S. Aughe. Frank Murphy, the oldest detective, in point of service, on the department, got No. 1. Ben Danbaum got No. 2. Several detectives, dissatisfied with the unpretentious dimensions of the new badges, desired to have them gold-plated. This request Inspector of Police Pszanowski refused. Only a captain, he holds, is entitled to have his badge gold-plated. Pete McGuire's request for permie sion to have his badge engraved with shamrocks also was denied.
