mrWn THE BEE: OMAHA. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 25. 1917. Jgy MELLIFICIA-Oct. 21 Church Club Buys Liberty Bond. K. P. C. C. club sounds very mys terious, but it is really very simple. Remnant of the Pilgrim Congrega tional Church is the name that the in itials stand for and the little club is composed of 19 women who worked together in this church which was located at Forty-first and Dodge streets about sixteen years ago. When the church disbanded the members scattered to other denominations, but these 19 women have not drift ed apart, for they have met once a month at each other's homes just for the sake of "auld lang syne." Sewing has been done in the past at the meetings for certain needy fami lies which have been brought to the attention of the club. Imbued with the spirit of patriotism they have de cided to buy a Liberty bond and the members will be taxed 25 cents a month to help pay for it. Orders for comforts will also be taken to help swell the bond fund. Mrs. Josephine Carr is the presi dent of this enterprising group of women and Mrs. George Hurd is sec- .'.retary. The others members are: Mrs. C. C. Shimer, Mrs. Elizabeth Tyner, Mrs. W. A. Wilcox, Mrs. Thomas Dunlop, Mrs. Alice Shaddock, Mrs. George Hurd, Mrs. Marv Stethman, Mrs. Flora Kehoe, Mrs. V. A.

Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a girl of 20, seek ing advice. I have a brother who is just 22. Ha Is very attractive looking and of course the girls are crazy about him. Having lost both our parents we wore shifted about. I try and keep home just as mother did, but my brother refuses to work. Now Miss Fairfax, I cannot keep home on 10 a week and support two. By that I mean my brother wants a new suit every two weeks or hat, shoes, etc. He does not think that I have to work hard as a bookkeeper for that money. I've tried to tell him, but he told a young man that works in my place of business, "What la the good of working when your slater works for you?" I felt hurt over that remark and I spake to hlra. He says he will not work as long as he Is at home. It Would break my heart to turn him out, as he was mother's Ideal. i HEART BROKEN SISTER. From what you write, I gather that your brother la a weakling of that contemptible sort that gladly permits a woman to work for his support In allowing this, you are doing the boy s, frightful lnjustlo. No man who has real respect for himself will let a' woman work to support hlra. In work lng that he may be Idle, you are en couraglng the boy, in his desire for life with ease and luxury, and in a selfish and even vicious reeling that It dosen't matter who works for him as long as her work In sures him freedom from responsibility. Tou aren't being fair to your mother when you encourage your brother In his contemptible stand. Of course she wouldn't want the boy she Idolized to turn Into the sort of creuture he seems to be. Can't you make him recognize that he la harming no one so much as himself that be la spoiling his own future and cutting himself off from any chance of growing into some use ful and paying occupation which would let him be a respected citizen some day? Can't you stir his ambition and give him a pic ture of himself as a man who accomplishes things and is looked up to by people? If kindness won't help, he must be forced to make his own way. He may have to learn In the school of hardship and ad versity, but he must be saved from turning Into the most contemptible of all creatures, a man who sits back In callous brutality and lets a woman slave to support him. Go to Her Parents. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am engaged to a girl It years of age and have known her for four years. We have been going out together until recently, when for some reason or other her parents have forbidden her to go out with me alone. There hasn't been any explana tion on her parents' part except what I bear from her, as she Is the only daugh ter. I think the disappearance of so many young girls has taken a deep effect upon them. I am dearly in love with the girl and I know my love la reolprocated. It would simply be useless for us to separate, I am In a good position and am well able to support a wife, therefore I would like your advice. . 8. C. W. If you have a perfectly clear conscience, as your let'.er leads me to suppose you have, the explanation may be what you suggest In any event, the thing for yon to do is to go to the girl's parents and ask them if they really mean to separate you from the daughter you love and want to marry. By the way, have you ever gone to her par ents and told them of your Intentions and hopes in regard to their daughter T When Miladij Goes Shopping Women and children are doing fine, but how about the men who furnish only chin music for the tramp of loyal feet! Which slice o' life do they belong to? : : : : CAMPFIRE GIRLS TO GIVE A PARADE By ADELAIDE KENNERLY. A UTILE 8UCB O LIFE. She had three heavy bundles And she was a frail little thing. She got off the car at my street and I offered to carry tna heavy bundles In addition to my own. when I saw she Was going my way. A large gentleman had got off the car Just when we did and he burcled on up the street In the bundles she had three electric flat irons And several dictionaries, I thought. It was a back-breaking trip of five blocks. The large man ahead of us turned in at a gate. When we came to same gate the turned In And said: "I live here. Thank you so much." "But the Mg guy who turned in hero?" I said. "The man who got off the car when we did. He turned In here, too." "Tes," she replied sweetly. "He's my hus band, And he just hates to carry packages Through the street Thank you so much." Roy K. Moulton, of the New York Evening Mail staff, wrote the above. Roy knows more than a wee bit about these uneven slices o' life, too. He observes. Now that Uncle Sam is calling our boys and young men in such great numbers to the front, the little fellows and the women are asked to "fall in line and help." Are they doing it? Well, 1 want to announce to the world that they arel Boys are being excused from school to help on the farms during the harvesting season. Boys are working after school on delivery wagons. Boys are turning in and doing work that men did prior to the call to the colors. Women are stepping into posi tions which were formerly held by men in order that the "American machinery" may be kept in running order; that our boys in service may be clothed and properly fed; that the little children's education may go on just the same as in normal times. In the homes women are doubling their activities and rallying to the "cause" in fine style. They arc carrying home many of their bun dles; they are shopping more con sistently than ever before; they are more reasonable and less prudish. The women and children are coming through with colors fly ing, but how about the men who are under the exemption line be cause of their age or physical de fects or some other reason? We have a certain class of men who furnish chin music and little else. They shout about Germany, they applaud the allies and talk conser vation and what-not, but when it comes right down to brass tacks, what arc they doing to win the war? Many of the are not even willing to carry their bundles home because of false pride. Every time 1 see a man carrying unruly packages home through the crowd, and on a crowded car, 1 cannot help believing that he is do ing his bit and maybe his most. Anyway he doesn't belong to Rov K. Moulton's "Little Slice o' Life" kind of men. He is doing more than furnishing chin music for the tramp of loyal feet who carry their bundles. It is up to the women, sometimes, to point out to their husbands, and sons, and brothers, which slice of life they belong to. Now is the time to start.

Boy Scouts to Change Name The Boy Scouts of America has be gun a suit to protect its name and the words "Boy Scouts" and "scouting." This action is brought by Its attorney, former Justice Charles E. Hughes, against the "United States Boy Scout." The Boy Scouts of America lias a federal charter and is the only boys' organization in the United States spe cifically authorized to wear a uniform any part of which is similar to the uniform of the United States navy, army or marine corps. There are now 258,891 Scouts in the organiza tion, with 11,474 scoutmasters and about 70,000 members of troop com mittees and other local officials, in 2,000 towns and cities. Since the start of the scouting movements less than a decade ago this organization has led about 375,000 other boys through the program of scouting. These men and boys are conscien tiously devoting themselves to the program of scouting as it is commonly understood the world over and as pro moted by Lieutenant General Sir Rob ert S. S. Baden-Powell since 1907 in England, The Boy Scouts of Amer ica form a part of the world brother hood of scouting, the different mem bers of which follow the same pro gram. The movement in this country was incorporated February 8, 1910, with the patronage and support of Gen eral Baden-PowelL Its honorary of ficers are President Woodrow Wil son, former Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William H. Taft and a large number of the governors of varr ous states. The Boy Scouts of America has no time nor desire to interfere with any organization which is helping boys. All the boys m all the boys organiza tions in the country form only a small oercentaee of the boys who need di rection in their activities and char acter development There is plenty of room for every legitimate and usetui boys organization. It should be made clear to the public that tms is not a row between rival organizations. It is an attempt to protect boys from being misled and to protect contrib utors against the possibility of hav- ing funds intended for the support of the genuine Boy Scout movement used for some other purpose. The value of the Boy Scout move ment as an educational agency for boys in the development of their char acter and in training them for the re sponsibilities of citizenship is depend ent upon the ability of the organiza tion to maintain high standards and to insure the carrying out of the pro gram in a thorough fashion. It was because of the importance of this that congress saw the wisdom of grant ing a federal charter and it was be cause of the responsibilities that this charter imposes that the Boy Scouts of America has taken steps to com pel the United States Boy Scouts to change its name. , ' One of the most indefatigable work ers on behalf of the British wounded is the beautiful duchess of Sutherland, whose husband is one of the wealth iest members of the English peerage.
