The Dundee Woman's , Patriotic
club which is giving such jiwique af-'
fairs will probaly surpass any of its
otfler patriotic parties Thusday and
Friday evenings .When . members give
their street , carnival "and dance, in
Dundee. The soft light of numberless
Japanese lanterns will shine down pi
the merry dancers and for those who
are not lured by the jazz music there
will be a cozy little npok where they
can enjoy a quiet game of bridge. You
can either dance or bid with a clear
conscience for you are doing your
patriotic bit to spend your coppers at
the carnival as each nickel will help
swell the fimd to send an Omaha girli
who is anxious to board a huge trans-
port for canteen work,somewhcre be
hind the lines in France, , '
I.NTENSIFlEDcam'paigning to re
. cruit Omaha's quota of . Red
Cross nurses will begin Monday.
Every graduate nurse, in' Douglas
county is wanted to enroll in the Red
Cross. They will not all be called
to nurse at the front, or in army hos
v pitals in this country, but the Red
Cross will ask nhem to help in the,
way they are most willing ot serve.
. The Red Cross pamphleton "War
. . Obligations of Physician and Nurse"
explains: : ... . ; y
' '"The Red , Cross . recognizes , that
. some nurses are more valuable in thefr
s present employment than they would
.Je in war service,; and so , does not
propose to withdraw trained nurses
y arbitrarily; but every trained nurse
should enoll for, war service and
- await " the sifting process. In this
. way alone can 25,000 nurses be en
rolled as the government requires.'
' Itvis earnestly hoped that 'physi
cians will encourage a100 per cent
" enrollment of nurses. The fact that
it may be months before some nurses
are called to service should not hin.
' der this enrollment, should not cause
a single nurse to hold back her sig-
.. nature."-. :. Jt'. f ."..v:'-,
. In reference to the way in wjiich
physicians and public can helpr-the
message says: '
"For the United States to yield 25,-
000 more of its highly trained nurses
for war service unquestionably means
that physicians and patients will have
1 to employ fewer nurses, It means
further that in the Rome, in the labor
' atory, and in the hospital, these ex-
pert nurses must be used the fewest
, possible number of days or hours per
case so that they may be released
to the government ' . '
, ' . "The Red Cross understands per
fectly the sacrifice this will entail
' upon physicians and the public, but
as between such sacrificeVn their'part
and a sacrifice of our enlisted men,
Jhc Red Cross knows that American
professional men and citizens will not
- hesitate one moment ina choice."
Jn war there is no tomorrow.
The enemy has counted upon win-
ning a decision before the United
' States completely mobilizes its re
' - sources and nurses are among our
most vital resources.. Consequently,
the nurse who delays' in offering.her
v self is to that extent delaying our
complete mobilization which will turn
the tide of battle definitely to victory

When the hotter weather conies, Miss Farnsworth
has arranged to conduct her classes in a most novel man
ner.' A truck, equipped as a model kitchen, has been do
nated to the cause. This portable kitchen will be driven
to any district in the city where the teacher is guaranteed
to have a class of six women and a hovel out-of-doors
cooking class will be conducted. , ' . , .
That the food administration has considered .these
measures necessary is absolute proof that nothing must
be left undone to save every ounce of the" food supply.

The arrival of the month of bride! and roses has a
deep wartime significance. It is the beginning of the big
drive to transfer th year garden produces from the back

To hearten a nation and to build its brawn is the
task today of the woman-at-home.' T lere is nothing

The above group gathered at the home of Mrs. R, E.
Winkelman, chairman of the Central Conservation coun
cil, one morning last week. When the stage was all set
of those whose windows bear a starry service flag, surely
every woman will make any sacrifice necessary to .do her

' National Benefit , '
Apart from the national benefit arising from enf olliifg
in the conservation private instruction school consider
the joy of a well-stocked pantry, when the1 wintry winds
are blowing and the price of foodsUffs is soaring. Mr.
Hoover doesn't believe that "a word to 4he wise is suf
ficient," not in. so grave a crisis so he sends his repre
sentatives to give forth as many words of wisdom as
each individual needs. "

THE warm June showers, or rather
cloudbursts, which have .ruined .
our white frocks and disturbed our .
slumbers for the last week have put a
slight damper on the parties given at
the clubs. "Aren't there, to be any
dinners this week?'' "Isn't there any
thing planned for the future?" wailed
one fair young thing. ; :
"Nothipg but rain," was the sad
answer of the secretary at the club.
A YOUNG business woman in this
"city was married to a soldier
earljr in the spring. In order that the
inquisitive boys at camp would not be
able to decipher their love messages
this couple arranged a code. When
the bride decided to spend her vaca
tion with her soldier husband at a
southern cantonment, she telegraphed
him, using the secret code. The tele- .
gram arrived at camp and the bride
groom was immediately arrested as a
spy. A' few. days later the bride ar
rived and it was only, after she blush
ingly explained the situation and -.,
translated the message that the "spy"
was released. -V-; :
