THE BEE: OMAHA. THURSDAY, OCTOHfcrt J.6, 1917. 11 conducted bv ADELAIDE KEN NERLY editor and ELLA FLEISHMAN, ASS'T ci Ry MEtLlFWIAOd. 17. P. E. 0. Pretty Expensive Order? "What does 'P. E. 0.' stand for, do you know?" is the question on the lips of half of Omaha's population. The supreme P. E. 0. sisterhood is now holding- its biennial convention in Omaha and the five-pointed star and the yellow and white banners of the order are everywhere to be seen. "Protect Each Other" is one of the popular guesses, but a facetious hus band ventured the guess, "Pretty Ex pensive Order," when he counted 600 guests, who were entertained at the banquet last evening at the Scottish Rite cathedral at the expense of local P. E. O.'s. P. E. O.'s frequently refer to "our B. I. L.'s." These are not the bills, but the "Brothers-In-Law," as the hus bands of P. E. O.'s are called. Hus bands of Omaha P. E. O.'s consider themselves brothers-in-law to all the other P. E. O.'s all over the country. Local P. E. O.'s have subscribed more than $12 per member to the fund for. the entertainment of the nearly 400 delegates who are in attendance at the convention. Most of them kept little banks in which they dropped a penny each day. The chapters, too, lused many unique schemes in order to raise the fund. For Machine Gun Men. A benefit dance and card party will be given by the Dundee Women's Pa triotic club Monday evening, October 22, at the Prettiest Mile club. The proceeds of the affair will be used to purchase yarn for knitted outfits to be sent to the members of the One Hundred and Thirty-fourth machine run company, who were formerly the 4 machine gun company of the Fourth Nebraska. The party, which will be a very in formal one, will have one special fea ture, which will be solo dancing by little Virginia Upham, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. D. Upham. Rushton-Davies Wedding. The marriage of Mr. Arthur Lyell Rushton and Miss Dorothy Davis, prominent .in the university set, took olace Tuesday evening at the home of the bride's parents; Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Davies, in Utica, Neb. Mr. Rush ton is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Rush ton, of Omaha, and the young couple will make their home here after their short weddidtig trip. The bride is a Delta Gamma and Mr. Rushton a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity. Wins Liberty Bond. A unique feature of the Creighton University Mixer' club dance which was given at'Keep's academy Tuesday evening was the bestowal of a Lib erty bond. As the guests came in each one was given a number and later in the evening the numbers were all thrown into a large basket and one of the men detailed to draw. Nine happened to be the lucky number and Miss Ruth English, daughter of Judge James P. English, the holder of the number. Consequently, Miss English is now the proud possessor of a $50 Liberty bond.

Noiv That Our Boys Have Gone Are We Going to Let Them Starve By ADELAIDE KENXKRI.Y. Whoever thinks of shopping as a joke, is blundering along the wrong path and wasting both time and money and a big Jot of satisfac tion. Shopping is a;i art, a science, and it takes good sense and judgment to do it properly. Successful firms select their most intelligent employes for buyers that is one reason for their success. Unsuccessful homes, too often, have unintelligent buyers (unintelli gent so far as buying is concerned) and that is why they are unsuccess ful. A competent buyer studies the markets. She (or he) knows ex actly what each and every article should cost and, adding a stipulated per cent of profit, plus overhead ex pense, knows what it should bring at retail. A clever buyer knows what ma terials will be popular each season and which ones will wear the best, keep their colors, and hold their lines. Intelligent buying is never ac complished haphazardly or on guess work. It is the result of keen observation, close attention and study. For the benefit of the home purchasers, merchants have em ployed experienced advertising men to properly present their goods, prices, etc., to the public. These ad vertisements are published in maga zines and newspapers, for the most part, and no woman need go be yond such mediums to gain her basic knowledge for intelligent shopping. These pages of advertise ments give, each day, an oppor tunity for comparing prices, styles and reliability of merchants. After these ads have been digested, a keen home purchasing agent, or Baby's Food shopper, may go to each of the scores advertising and compare qualities. In this way she sains the practical knowledge which is so es sential to every person living in the mad rush of twentieth century ac tivities. Progressive women know that magazine and newspaper advertis ing is a free school for the educa tion of shoppers; that it is paid for by the merchants, and delivered to their homes by publishers that they may study them without an ounce of wasted effort. Whoever fails to take advantage of this course of study is allowing their own finances to slip into the waste basket through a sieve of in difference. Shopping is a big job and only the intelligent do it wisely. Note: This is one of a series of articles being published in which both merchant and customer will be interested but profit. For out-of-town readers The Bee maintains a free shopping service. Just address "Polly, The Shopper, care The Bee, Omaha." Polly will buy for you with the same care that you would buy for yourself. A knitting class among the women inmates at the Old People's Home was formed Tuesday morning to knit socks, wristlets and sweaters for Un cle Sam's men.

Under the laws of New Tork homicide committed unlawfully and with malice aforethought is punishable by death. It Is none the less murder because It la done by a woman or because her victim Is her husband or because ah may have suf fered at his hands. The state does not ad mit the rla-ht of an aggrieved cltlsen, even If a woman, to administer what she deems to be Justice with a gun. There Is no question In the mind of any Intelligent man of the wisdom of the law which forblda the execution of private ven geance and puts the punishment of all crimes Into the hands of the state. If there la no question of the righteousness and Jus tice of the laws, there can be no queatlon that they should be enforced. As the stage Is set for the murder trial which will soon engrosa the attention of New Tork It Is quite clear that there Is little confidence that the law will be vindicated. The accused pleada her aex, her beauty and her arlevance against an unfaithful hus band. While the laws recognlxe none of the defenses, Juries do. Syracuse Post. Advice to Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Father and Daughter Dear ML Fairfax: I am 18, have b'u working for two years, and am making good. I asked my fathor If I might have a fw crllers thla winter, and if 1 could go out once In a while with young men. I have missed all the goo 1 times this sum mer, as all the girls I grew up with have friends now, end go out with thm, and when they Invite me, I always itiske a third, ao I refuse thu Invitation. My father told mo that 1 did not need to k" out with yiUng men until I was ready to get married. I told him that his attltuiln wits absurd, and that I needed a little reciea t jii wit pcop'.e of my own age. Ho hits told ma before that If I ever bring or In vite anybody to call on me they will be refused admittance. I am a lover of music, a good dancer, rnd I make hosts of friends, but when tt comes to going on excursions of any kind, 1 can't go along, and I am feeling heartbroken. If my father finds 0 that any particular girl friend of mine la golnf out with young men, I have to give that girl up. Nearly every evening at homo an argu ment is started and when I quarrel with my father I Just feel miserable because 1 know he loves me and Is solli ltlous ot my welfare, but I can't see any harm In go ing ou. with young man f.r a little pleasure occasionally. My mother la dead. c. a. Of course good times are thing on which you'h Is likely to lay loo much emphasis. But equally age Is likely to for get tt r rfec'ly good adage that "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy and Jll' an equally dull girl." Undoubtedly your father wana to protect you. He ants to save yoi from rushing aroun'd madly In search it excitement and wasting your youth and health and t.rength on trivial pleasures. I think a better way tor him to protect you would be to let you have an occasional -nan call on you. Then he. himself, might come In and meet them, r ike friends with them and figure out who will be good companions for his young daughter Don't tell him agam that his attitude la absurd. And don't fancy yourself heartbroken because you can't go chas ing about to all aorta of cheap entertain ments whl do girls more harm than good. Just make your father feel r.i t feel that It Isn't fal. to expect fate to provide you with a good husband right out ot a clear sky; that It I. 't aafe to shut your horns to your "rtends and to Ignore the fact that youth nee enjoyme . and recreation ex actly as plant need! sunshine. Father is a llttie oo conservative and reacts too far against 'he foolish gayetles that have such a hold on young people today. You too must compromise. A Lack of Fine Feeling . Dear Miss Fairfax: Is It proper for a young man who has been giving atten tion to a girl for a year to be attentive to friend to whom she introduced him? He gives her everything and takes her out. His sweetheart lovea him, but do you think It worth worrying overT PUZZLED. This Is not a question of propriety, but one of consideration and fine feeling. A man who really lovea one girl li unlikely to want to make love to another and surely would not wish to humiliate hla sweet heart by demonstrating the charm another girl had for blm. He Is either fickle or haa a rather brutal desire to hurt the girl who loves htm and to glory in showing hla power. The alarming rush of the , pup-! ulation from the (arm to the ! cities must be checked, and it is J up to the women to help in this as a ! war-time measure, Charlie I.athrop l'ack, president of the National Emer gency rooit iiardcn commission, oi , U asliinpton. told the members of the Woman s National Farm and Garden association at Chicago. And the men must be led 'back to the farms by the women, "for they will not go without you," said the man whose "Food F. O. B. the Kitchen Door" campaign, resulted in 3.000,000 war gardens being planted this summer. Mr. Pack nave some startling fig ures, which show that only 2-1 per i cent of the population is now en gaged in farming, whereas 8S per cent was fanning in 1W0. In other words, every fanner must now feed himself and seventy-five others un der present conditions. This trend to the cities has forced prices up and the call of war has only added to the boost. Mr. Tack said. Mr. Pack Takes l3sue. "I take issue," continued Mr. Pack, "with any one who says there is great waste in thr American home. Vou cannot make me believe Un American housewife who supervises her buying and kitchen work is a waster. With bacon at 55 cents and butter at 54, the American woman, who is the greatest factor in win ning this world war, is saving as National Emergency Food Garden never before. The estimates of the commission show that 460,000,000 cans are being put on the pantry shelves this fall. "More and more the women of our country are realizing the joys of farm life and the returns it brings. There are women managers of big farms who are making them pay. There are women all over the country who are in the garden produce business on a big scale. More of you must be turned toward the farm where out-of-door livinp- means wholesome living. There is a tireat future there and also the salvation of the country. Jwo Million Under Arms. "Secretary leaker points to 2,000, OOO men under arms. The estimated daily cost of feeding a soldier has been ulaccd at 40 cents. That means Uncle Sam's board bill for soldiers alone is the staggering figure of $S00,000 a day. That figure does not include tha thousands who have gone into war work of one kind or an other. In Washington alone there are .15,000 new governments clerks and many departments are now being moved to New York to find office room. "These people must he fed! "The people of this country must awaken to the fact that we are at war and that this is not the annual maneuvers. You are beginning lo get nil idea what this means when in tears you sent your boys away to the training camps. You women have gladly niven your sons that the world may be made safe for democracy, to rescue an save civilization. Now that you have Riven them are you going to let them starve?" f'uttlng Down F.xpentieH. "Are you reducing your expenses, Hiltf" "Indeed, I am.

I love to dig and toil, and do the best a mor tal can to till the fruitful soil. I love to clip the artichokes from sturdy cabbage vines and gather beets from which my folks may make the choicest wines., I look about with smiling eyes whene er I take a walk, and see the squash and pumpkin pies that grow on every stalk. Another thing I dearly love, and do with keenest zest, is rambling through my turnip grove, with some admiring guest. I love to climb an onion tree and gather luscious fruit. Beyond all else it pleases me to take a gun and shoot potato bugs that eat my beans and white-pine blister-moths1 that make attacks upon my greens, like vicious Huns or Goths. When first I started out to work this garden stunt of mine the neighbors used to scoff and smirk and laugh at my design. But now the joke's the other way, for since these acoffers see how I have dodged the rainy day they laugh no more at me. They see the store of stuff I've canned, the store of stuff I've dried, and wish that they had also planned to be so well sup plied. They know that 111 not have to feed on grocer's pork and beans. They know that no food-gambler's greed can strain my meager means. They know I'll feel no winter's pang--that I'll be living well when they are wrestling with the gang that makes the H. C. L.
