"The Young Women's Christian
association did not volunteer, but was
drafted to do this work," declared
Miss Ada Starkweather, national war
work secretary of the 'association,
speaking at the Commercial club
Monday noon at a luncheon which
inaugurated the association's drive
for $35,000 in Omaha as its part of
a national fund .of $4,000,000 for war
work.
"Government representatives not
only of our own nation, but of nearly
alt the allied nations came to us and
asked or rather demanded that we un
dertake to do this work for women."
Among the things she mentioned
for which the fund is to be used .are
huts where the nurses in France and
other countries can go and find rest
and refinement after their long tours
on duty; "canteens" for girl workers
in newly created war work factories;
"hostess houses" for the use of women
visitors at the various cantonments
in the United States.
Government Co-Operation. -
. ' "We don't want von 'to" give to the
Young Women's Christian association
fundi unless you believe in it.,!' said
Miss Starkweather, "P.wt when you
understand the objects you cannot
help" believing in them. In every in
stance we have been asked by the
government to do the work we are
doing. Commandants of flie canton
ments have asked for the hostess
houses. The military authorities have
asked for the nurses' huts, In many
pUces these activities are already in
Operation and with the "greatest sue
cess.. '- V . : : ;
1 "Mrs., Henry P. Davison, of New
York, our treasurer and wife ofl'res
Ident Davison of the Red Cross, built
the first hostesj house -fctvTier own
expense as a sort of experiment'' Now
we have them in nearly every canton
ment." J. A. Sunderland presided. The
Omaha campaign begins Wednesday.
A large number of teams have been
appointed to do the soliciting. Mrs.
J. P. Lord announced that the com
mittees will make their first reports
Thursday noon at the Young Wo
men's Christian association,
"We expect to raise the whole $35,
000 this week," she said.
The local executive committee con
sists of Mrs. J. P. Lord, Mrs. J. T.
Stewart, 2d; Mrs. J. F. Carpenter,
Mrs. J. M. Akin and Clarke Powell
and Miss Dora Alexander.

Fifteenth and Y streets.
The traction company will build an
extension from Thirty-sixth and Q

ing voluntary recruiting and has al

TWENTY LINES
UNDER FEDERAL
FOOD LICENSE
Department of Justice Will
Prosecute Those Who Violate
Rules of Administration
Effective Dec. 1.
More than 20 lines of business, in
volving the handling of foodstuffs,
should be' under license at this time.
Any of them not under a license since
December 1 are in line for punish
ment if their cases are reported.
One of .he important new depart
ments of the food administration in
Nebraska is the license department.
A man to be at the head of this de
partment will be appointed shortly.
The federal food administration is
urging now that anyone having
knowledge of a dealer who is operat
ing without a license, where that
neglect seems to be anything more
than an oversight, should report to
Washington at once, so that the case
may be referred to the Department of
Justice for prosecution.
Report Two Places.
These are the people who should
be licensed since December 1, and
who will consequently have to make
reports regularly to the state food ad
ministration and to the federal food
administration at Washington:
Wholesale and retail dealers, com
mission men, brokers, auctioneers,
wholesale and retail dealers in per.
ishables,-commission men, brokers
and auctioneers "in perishables, job
bers, suppliers -of hotels, rough rice
dealers, bean dealers, cold storage
operators, cheese manufacturers, carload-lot
potato shippers, manufactur
ers of dried ."ruits, mill? dealers, deal
ers in peas. and pea seeds, thread
bakers.
- All these will be compelled to make
monthly reports, the details of which
will be' made known to them in due
time.
Report to Washington -
Another line of industries will have
to furnish monthly reports to the
Washington office alone, but none to
the state food (administrator. This is
because this particular class of in
dustries handles an interstate busi
ness largely.
Those who will make the report to
the federal food administration are:
Corn millers, oats millers, rye and
barley millers, rice millers, beet
sugar manufacturers, cane sugar
manufacturers, cane sugar refiners,
corn products manufacturers . and
syrup mixers, cotton seed crushers,
other oil crushers, cotton seed mer
chants, other oil and cake merchants,
packers of salmon and sardines, man
ufacturers of condensed milk, etc.,
packers of vegetables.
