THK Bffi: OMAUA, FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1915.
By MELLIFICIA,
Thursday, May 6, 1915.
WHT la Oitiah out of the career iti that ti sweeping over society
throughout tha country?
Daughters of the richest and most exclusive families in
elsewhere circle are literally falling over each other In their
mad endeavors to pre-empt places for themselves In the business world.
Rome are matriculating In training school for nurses, others passing
library examinations and entering schools for social economy to fit them
selves for settlement work. ' Many are opening exclusive little shops f
their own handicraft.
This growing tendency of young women of social standing to enter
actlre life has reached startling proportions In the last twelve months in
many cities, but for some reason conditions are not so In Omaha.
Is it because we have riot the vim? Perish the thought of Indolence!
Possibly we are slightly lacking, in Initiative! - Or maybe Omaha maids
are more matrimonially inclined, rather than to careers outside of the
home.

OTHERS WANT OLD PLACES
It Is given out at the city hall that
Commissioners Hummel, Kugel,
Wlthnell and Butler have committed
themselves positively to Voto fcr
Mayor Diblman for another term aa
msyor. Formal action will be taken
Monday, when the new council meets
for organization.
The four commissioners mentioned
expreshd themselves In Interviews
and also In an executive meeting of
tha mayor and council. This lnfok
nation is regarded as setting at rest
various rumors that a commissioner
other than Mr. Dahlman waa botna;
considered for mayor. t
"I don't want the office of msyor. I
sm more Interested In my work tn the
park and boulevard department, I really
don't believe anybody else on the city
commission wants the place," declared
Commissioner Hummel. In speech last
Monday In Alamo, hall Mr. Hummel said
he would be for Dahlman for mayor If
elected.
Are for Dahlmaa.
Commlsnloncre Kugel, Wlthnell and
Butler are equally outspoken la thslr
support of the present msyor.
"I would be sn Insrate If I did not
vots for the mayor this time," was the
declaration of Commlasloner Butler.
"I think the mayor waa re-elected to
fill the office he now hue, rather than
soma other place on the commission,"
stated Commissioner Kugel.
"During the conference It ws suggeetet
thst Commissioner Butler take the de
partment of public. Improvements, but be
said he would prefer his present depart
ment of finance and publlo accounts. .
The five re-elected members of the
council s a reed to retain their present de
partmenu, and It la understood thst Jar-4
dine will be assigned to the department
of publlo Improvements, provided that
his unofficial lead over' Commissioner
McGovern is sustained by the official
canvass. Drexel Is slated for the clean
ing and maintenance, made vacant by the
displacement of Commissioner Ryder.
Conrerula Otbrr Chances.
The commissioners hsve not considered
seriously prospective chsaess in ths va
rious departments but several ere being
suggested. It is no secret thst some
connnlHaioners wish a new city prosecu
tor and Rdwsrd Hlnion is being urged
for that place, with R. J. Madden an
applies ntv The recommendstion will be
sent In by the mayor, who is not resdy to
commit himself on this mstter.
V 8. Ritchie. who hss been mentioned
In connection with the office of corpora
tion counsel, said ha Is not seeking any
public office. Assistant City Attorney
LAmbert. who hss been handling the cor
poral Ion counsel work since the resigna
tion -of B. H. lisker, is In-line for the
position snd Indications are that Mr.
lAinbert will be succeeded as assistant
rtty attorney by South Omaha man
when consolidation is consummated. The
bringing of Houth Omaha' into the of
ficial family Is expected to increase the
work In' the less I depsrtment materially.
Commissioner-elect Jardlne visited the
city hall and chatted with his prospective
aesoclsles. .
