Women LeaurB
Nobody knows what a woman can
do until she gets a chance to' try. Rose
Lauer has an opportunity to prove
that ar woman can be a good garage
helper and mechanic, She went to
work Saturday morning in that ca
pacity for George Reim, thus opening
up a new field in Omaha for ambitious
girls. Mr. Reim has been suffering,
like many another man, from shortage
of help and the prospect of further
shortage as more men go to war.
Finally in desperation, he advertised
for women for garage work. Miss
Lauer was the first applicant.
t "I had been working in a depart
ment store for $5 a week," said
Rose, "andMt really isn't enough to
live on. Mr. Reim will pay me much
more generously and there is a pros
pect of good pav in the future if I am
successful. I always loved to work
with machinery and I believe I can
learn to be a good mechanic.
Rose is a decidedly feminine young9
lady but she does not mind getting
her hands dirty, as long as it will all
wash off. She looks neat and trim in
her work costume and extremely ca-
pable. . She will wash cars, drive the
service truck and do other compara-

OMAHA GIRL'S EXPERIENCE TEACHES HER
SOCIETY'S WAYS IN HOME AND KITCHEN
By RUTH BAILEY WHITNEY.
When the railroads first engaged
women to clean the cars We were
taking a short trio. Lorene and I.
During a wait in he Des Moines sta
tion we watched some women clean
ing out a sleeping car on a nearby
track. , Very neat and clean they
were, in their unionalls, and very neat
and clean the car looked, too, when
their work was done.
"It makes me mad every time I
see women doing that kind of work,"
came the voice of a woman behind
us, clear and loud, as voices sound in
a stationary car. "They think they
are helping win the war. If women
want .to work why not let them work
in the home? There are plenty of
such places where they could help
out, but nothey like work where
they get notoriety ,"
' "1 am 'going' to tell you about
something I did once," Lorene said a
moment after. "I have never told a
soul before, but what that woman
said' has determined me to tell you and
let you write it up. It may help some
one to understand the eternal servant
girl question." " j
This is the story she told me: '
"It was three years ago that Lorene
gavejup her work in an office where
she was considered so indispensable
that she had come to bear the greater
part of the burden, and her nerves
broke tinder the strain. 'No more
brain work,' was the doctor's order.
She had to work her savings
small. Women's work is appreciated
insofar, that they give women
enormously heavy burdens to carry,
but seldom does that burden consist
of a salary of any great weight.
After deep thought she decided to
go to a strange city and get a posi
tion as a housekeeper. She had kept
house at home and was a good cook
and a good manager, She loved chil
dren and had patience with them. It
seemed to her there must be many
homes where her services would, be
needed and her nerves receive the
needed, rest. ' I
She told her friends they need not
expect to hear from her, as she was
going a long way off and would take
a complete rest, with no letters, no
ties to bind her. Then she disap
peared. '
She went to a respectable but quiet
and moderate priced hotel in a large
city. ; In the leading dailies she placed
the following ad: "A young woman of
good education would like a position
as housekeeper; good cook; neat; no
objection to children."
When she called at the offices the
following day she found a sheaf of
letters awaiting her. Widowers -with
and without children, women with
babies club women, priests, elderly
people, invalids every kind and con
dition of man and woman, it seemed,
needed a housekeeper. All one . day
Lorene sorted the replies. Finally she
selected three to look up.
Six Children.
,One was a widower with, six chil
dren. She called there first, because
she felt he really needed her and she
would have t free hand with the chil
dren. A hard faced woman met her at the
door. "I am Anna Stoner," said Lo
rene, giving the name she had select
ed, "you answered my advertisement
for a position as housekeeper.
Grudgingly the woman stood aside
and let her into, a hall dark and filled
with the odor of innumerable dinners
bacon, cabbage, onions, fish the
menus of weeks gone by could be
traced by a well trained nose. The
parlor was decorated with infant's
wear, imperfectly washed and hung
over the furniture to dry.
"Yes, Willie needs a housekeeper,"
the woman said complainingly, "I help
him what I can, but I am too busy to
do it all. But I live right next 'door
and I would help you keep an eye on
the children. I am Mr. Wright's
mother," she explained. Right there
Lorene decided against t the place.
Mother had decided ideas about
things, and she soon found a loop
hole of escape.
The next place looked good to her.
Mrs. Adams herself let her in and was
very pleasant. "I have three darling
children," she said, "but they will give
you no trouble, and I will help you
with the cooking. I am sure we will
enjoy our work together." .
' Lorene moved in that afternoon.

... . . ,
tuly.ng the engine and learning
what makes the wheels -go round
until she has become a skilled me-
chanic.
Her room was cool and comfortable
and thekitctien clean. Hardly had she
started to get dinner when she heard
the loud voice of a neighbor raised in
excited protest. A blueberry pie and
half a watermelon were disappearing
from her refrigerator on the back
porch in the hands of three boys and
two litle girls. The leader turned out
to be JohnfAdams, the terror of the
neighborhood. ,
Neighborhood Terror.
That was the begining of a series
of events. John was not normally a
bad boy, but he was nervous and con:
stantly seeking excitement. His mo
ther's feeble protests against his dep
redations on her own property and
those of the neighbors were worse
than useless, and his father's thrash
ings made him angry and were rap
idly brutalizing him. The younger
brother and sister adored John and
followed him into all his mischief, as
did most of the neighbor children.
For two weeks Lorene stayed. Her
clothes and money were not safe, for
the children had never been taught
the law governing personal property.
The food in refrigerator and pantry
disappeared when counted on for
meals. I he house was a constant
scene of neighborhood bickerings, as
Mrs. Adams could see no harm in her
children and would always side with
them when accused with flutterings
like those of a hen whose chicks
turned out to be ducklings. Her
scoldings, when she did side against
them, were of the same character.
"This is no place for nerves," de
cided Lorene, and departed as others
had doubtless departed before her.
Mrs. Adams tagging her as ungrate
ful because she would not stay.
A registry company placed her in
her next few positions. There was
one that promised to be very pleas
ant, with an old couple and a grown
son. The son had evidently gathered
his impressions of life from a very
poor class of literature and from loaf
er companions, i After several little
unpleasant encounters with him in
which he refused to be rebuffed with
out personal violence, Lorene decid
ed there were safer places for her.
Socially Rushed.
The next woman was .socially
rushed. She appeared and disap
peared at most unusual hours and
vithout the least .regard for anyone's
convenience but her own. Lunch at
1, often meant that another lunch
would have to be prepared for the
lady and her friends again at 2 or
later. Breakfast was a movable feast,
varying from 6 o'clock to nearly
noon, with no warning as to its time
beforehand. Mr. Scott had to have
his meals at given hours, but Mrs.
Scott popped up at any hour demand
ing food. A few' days, sufficed for
Lorene.
She tried a place in the suburbs,
where the grocer was unable to make
deliveries on account of the mud and
she was scolded when meals were
late. It was rainy Jhat summer and
Lorene felt her whole existence was
being passed in la sea of mud mud
on the floors, mud to iwade in on the
streets, mud in the distance as far as
eye could see. No friends, no library,
no walks, nothing but a dingy exist
ence in a cheerless house surrounded
by a waste of sticky, sloppy slush.
Place after place she gave up for
one reason after another. One wo
man watched her like a detective and
criticised her ', every move; anqther
scolded her when she caught her tak

i Visiting Nurse Tag Day
Will Be Held Sept. 4
Annual "Tag day" for the Visiting
Nurse association has been set for
September 4, and arrangements are
now being made to ask Omaha peo
ple for the necessary funds to keep
this association going for another
year.
"So many demands have been made
for money since the beginning of the
war that some fear has been expressed
that the Visiting Nurses will not be
supported as generously asusual this
year, many people preferring to give
to something that is strictly war
work. Our work is really war work,"
sa'id Miss Florence McCabe, superin
tendent of the association.
"It is a second line of defence. The
government has recognized it as such.
A number of our nurses in different
parts of the country are Red Cross
nurses, but they have not been called
to the front, as the government recog
nizes tjie fact that they are doing a
work in this country just as vital as
field service."
There are at the present time 12
nurses in the association. Three
baby stations are maintained, where
mothers may bring their babies for
advice in regard to feeding and care.
In this many hundreds, of babies are
annually saved. The main work of the
nurses is the care of the sick in homes
where funds are not plentiful. When
the family visited is very poor, no
charge for services is made. When
able to pay, a small ,charge is made
which does not go to the nurse, but
to the association. . The Visiting
Nurses have distributed The Bee's
milk and ice fund ever since it was
started.
"Even looking at the matter from a
commercial standpoint, lives are of
increased value at the present time,"
said Miss McCabe, "and the improved
health of the laborers engaged in fur
nishing munitions and suppliers of
importance to the government." v
ing a moment's rest and found ex
cuses to keep her busy on her right
ful "day off." In one place she was
discharged because the young hopeful
in the family accused her of taking
money. The fact that money had dis
appeared before in the home and
servants been accused of taking it,
did not make any difference. "All
servants are dishonest," was the ver
dict of the householder, who hinted
at the police.
"The trouble with all that kind of
work is that two women, in the same
house must work too close together,"
said Lorenei "It is not like an office,
where women may work together all
day, and yet neither one needs know
the other's personal affairs. In do
mestic work, except in homes where
many servants are kept( mistress and
maid know too much about each
other. They have no private affairs.
There are not many women consider
ate enough and wise enough, to make
a maid happy in their homes, True,
few maids are appreciative and cap
able. When a good mistress and a
good maid get together, I have known
of cases where the maid stayed for
years, only marriage or some other
vital event separating them. But I
don't blame any girl for preferring
work in factory or. railroad yard to
that of the home. A woman has a
right to her independence, and I ad
mire her for demanding it."
"I don't know what women are go
ing to do in a few years," went on
Lorene. "Perhaps because I had this
pxnerience mvself. and was so un
fortunate in choosing my places, I
have morej sympathy with tne gins
who do that work than most. I have
talked with many of the most intelli
gent, and I find that fewer and fewer
each vear are willing to do house
work. There are openings for them
outside the home and they prefer to
take them. I wonder if the time will
not come when each womfen will have
to do her own work, and sometimes I
think it will do most women good if
it does."
"If a better class of girls took up
household work, would not the
women learn to treat their maids
more on a business basis, with stated
hours and stated duties?" I asked.
"I wonder," replied Lorene. "Fewer
and fewer of the ignorant class of
foreigners are coming to this country
each year, and if the government
shuts down on immigration after the
war, as it is rumored it will, Ameri
can girls will have to do housework
if it is done. If American girls were
a majority in household work, it
would soon be very different, for
the American characteristic is to be
lieve one's self as good as everyone
else. The situation in the future looks
interesting, to say the least."

Old Methods of Punishing
Child Defeats Its Own End
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
-The. day's news mentions another
case 'of child beating, the interven
tion of the Children's society and the
arrest of the father, who inflicted "22
lacerations on the arms and body."
It is to be hoped when this case
comes up for trial, the police court
justice may not repeat the conduct
of another judge a week or two ago.
This arbitrator of our destinies
congratulated the parent who had
been haled before him on a charge
of brutality and said that he, the
judge, "would have done the same
thing in his place."
And yet parents of this type won
der why children lie to protect them
selves, run away from home and fre
quently come to a bad end.
When a parent flogs a child in a
rage it is never the child's welfare
he has in view, but the venting of
his anger on a helpless victim. And
the victim soldom forgets; let parents
who look forward to happy relations
with their children in the evening of
life bear this in mind.
A child may deceive a parent who
beats him, with a pretense of affec
tion, but the feeling is seldom
genuine. If an animal resents and
remembers cruelty why should a
Child, infinitely more highly organ
ized, forget?
And why respectable people, in
dulging themselves in this ignoble
weakness, should feel called upon
to quote Solomon's "Spare the rod
and spoil the child," I do not know.
Certainly they do not quote as an
evidence of superiority that Sol
omon had a thousand "secondary
wives" as the Germans call them.
They are 'rather ashamed of that,
but they are strong in quoting him
as an upholder of flogging. In the
opinion of the most advanced stu
dents of child welfare, hf was as be
nighted, as brutal, as lacking in real
wisdom in one case as in the other.
Spend a session in any children's
court and the stories of youthful
crime invariably begin with accounts
of unmerciful whippings at home. A
child is a human being having self
preservation as his strongest instinct.
In evading a brutal thrashing by any
means in his power he is carrying out
a physical law that is as old as man.
A generation ago, people spoke un
blushingly of "breaking a child's
spirit," not realizing that they were
killing in the, child, the divine spark
God gave him to go through life.
Now that we have "Mothers' Coun
cils" and societies for the promotion
of child welfare, we have discovered
what a crime this was. That the
child whose spirit was broken did not
get far on the road to success. That
he was afraid of people, afraid of tak
ing chances, afraid of circumstances,
afraid of everything that would land
him on the top rung of the ladder.
And that frequently he was a con-

stitutional liar, that the habit of being
untruthful in childhood to protect
himself, kept him from being truthful
by habit when he grew to be a man.
Bernard Shaw says: "Any dog train

spoiled for life by a single act of ter

have been spoiled in that way."
Develop Responsibility.
On the other hand, children who
have persisted in incorrigibility un
der daily beatings have developed
into useful members of the family on
appealing to their sense of responsi
bility. "You are a part of the family unit,
George; if you fail in these duties
we shall all suffer." The boy waited
for the usual threats; they did not
come.
Sometimes he failed, sometimes he
did not. It was a long, uphill task get
ting him to realize the part he played
in family life. v ...
But finally he comprehended, and
it appealed to his sense of importance,
it appealed to forces ages older than
he was. When he fails now he says
"I'm sorry." There is no brutal
thrashing. The boy has been re
claimed. The magnificent showing our boys
are making in France confirms this
doctrine. The kaiser was sneeringly
contemptuous of our "lightning
trained" men. What chance would
they have with men who had been
severely disciplined the better part of
their lives?
What chance? Why, the soldiers
who had not been "brought up under
the crack of the whip," and had not
had their souls crushed under the iron
heel of authority, proved a sickening
shock for the kaiser.
They were the bettei1 men.

Hair is by far the most conspicu
ous thing about us and is probably
the most easily, damaged by bad oi
careless treatment. If we are very
careful in hair washing, we will havs
virtually no hair troubles. An espe
cially fine shampoo for this weather,
one that brings out all the natural
beauty of the hair, that dissolves and
entirely removes all dandruff, excess
oil and dirt, can easily be used at
trifling expense by simply dissolving
a teaspoonful of Canthrox (which you
can get at any druggist's), in a cup
of hot water. This makes a f ull cup
of shampoo liquid, enough so it is
easy to apply it to all the hair instead
of just the top of the head. This
chemically dissolves all impurities and
creates a teoothing, cooling lather.
Rinsing leaves the scalp spotlessly
clean, soft and pliant, while the hair
takes on the glossy richness of nat
ural color, also a fluffiness which
makes it seem much heavier than it
is. After Canthrox shampoo, arrang
inar the hair is a pleasure. Adv.
