A house-to-house canvass by food adminstration workers to secure pledges for the conservation of food began in earnest in Omaha this morn- This work will be the chief feature of pledfje card week, which began October 28 and will continue until November 4. The school children of Omaha, who conducted their cam paign last week, secured in the neigh borhood of 25,000 pledges and the ef fort will now concentrate around those families not reached by the schools. , , A very accurate record will be kept of all persons who do not sign pledge cards as well as of those who do. In order to make known the names of those who refuse to sign the cards a published list will in all probability be furnished by the Omaha Commer cial club. . To Keep Complete Record. Within a few days accurate figures of the progress of the campaign will be available. s Frank Boyd, chairman irf charge of the Douglas county campaign, called a meeting of his precinct chairmen yesterday and gave them final in structions for the carrying out of the campaign. The entire city will be di vided into approximately one block per man. Following State Food Administra tor 'Hoover's appeal for .everybome to pledge itself to assist in overcom ing aristocracy, the workers expect to have little difficulty in explaining away any doubt that may remain in the minds, of housewives. Two cards will be given to each member, one to be placed in the front window, and another to be tacked in a conspicuous place in the kitchen. The "Home Card," which goes intu the kitchen, should act as a constant reminder of the world war and what 4lif fnnrl rnnervatinn ramnaicn frrallv ; means. It deals with article which , are considered scarce, how to over 5bme meatless davs, new ways of preparing vegetables and fruits and many helpful general suggestions. When the workers arrive at the respective Omaha homes housewives are urged to be ready to sign the card Surgeons Who Split Fees Not -N Permitted in Licensed hospitals Several important measures were adopted at the recent convention of the Clinical Congress of Surgeons and the sixth convocation of the Ameri can College of Surgeons, held in Chi cago, according to Drs. A. F. Jonas and Charles A.-Hull, two of Omaha's prominent surgeons, who attended the conventions. The congress decided to make a omplcte canvass ot all the hospitals or the country, similar to the one made recently bythe government, and publish a list of the institutions which meet the minimum standard of effi ciency set by the surgeons. All Omaha hospitals have turned over their invoices to the government and are now waiting to be classed or called upon for service. The "divided fee" evil, whereby sur geons split the fee with hospitals, was Sharply condemned by the convention and action was taken to bring about its extermination. The college will insist that physicians and surgeons who divide fees shall not be permitted to practice in any approved hospital, when the classifications are com pleted. Dr. Hull was in attendance at all the sessions of the two conventions. Dr. Jonas spending a few days of last week in attendance. and delay the campaign as little as possible. TheMvork for the entire state is being carefully tabulated by the Omaha bureau. The local offices arc being deluged with telegrams and letters urging that more cards be shipped to the Nebraska towns. The supply of front-window cards on hand proved all too few, and a request to Washington for 25,000 more has been made. 1 To Bar Frozen Potatoes. Mr. Wattlcsi in a special appeal to Nebraska railroads entering Omaha requested that they refuse to accept frozen potatoes for shipment to Oma ha. The request met hearty co-operation by all the roads, including the Burlington, Northwestern and Union Pacific, who will henceforth carefully examine the spuds before they are placed in box cars. The frozen potato evil, according to Victor Parrish, publicity manager of the Omaha Commercial club, has been particularly in evidence among peddlers throughout the city, they claiming the potatoes were nipped before arriving in the city.

SALMONS SWAY IN THE COLD BREEZE Big Bags Swing Wildly in the High Wind, Making it Hard to Set the Instruments. Students at Fort Omaha worked under difficulty Monday, for the great bag of the kite balloon swayed and j swung wildly in the wind, and the !it- tie basket beneath tipped and whirled i about till those on the ground fully i expected to see the students pi'ched I to the ground. 1 "That's all right," said everyone. "We will have to work under worse conditions this winter in France. We aren't going to let a little wind and cold frighten us." It was hard to set the instruments and take jbsrvations in a rolling. tossing basket, but that is what wilj have to be done at times on the fifing line, so it is all good practice for the soidiers. The cold weather reminded Leo Stevens of one of his most famous balloon flights in the east several vears ago. He-started f rom Pitts "lield, MaSs.. when the thermometer registered 30 degrees bel6w zero, with a lot of carrier pigeons to send back. He sent the pigeons, out according to schedule, but they froze solid before they touched the ground and were found where, they bad dropped with the little messages tied to their necks. Mr. Stevens had been provided with plenty of warm wrappings, so he con tinued his flight and landed afely later in the day. Grain Receipts Boosted.
