Boys of the Y.M.C.A.
Members Should Know
If a list were made of the "Who",
Who" in the boys' division of tbe
Y. M. C A. Don Jones and his good
tccord would have a very prominent
place as one of the outstanding lead
ers in the activities.
From the very first day Don came
to the "Y" he started in to take tin
most advantage out of all the activi
ties. During his second year he
made the leaders' club for gym
nasium work and has proved a very
efficient leader.
Don was at Camp Sheldon last
summer and won the highest honor
award given to boys for completing
the tests in all camp programs. Hi
was a campmate in one of the win
ring cottages and worked hard for
the honor of the cottage. The camp
motto, "The Other Fellow First,"
Don lived out every day in his camp
work and play.
As one of the captains Don is loyal
and renders a valuable service to the
members of the boys' division staff
Don is popular among the many
members of the association and read
ily finds his place as a leader in the
use of the privileges.
Don is a loyal scout and a regular
attendant at the First Christian Sun
day school. He is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. B. D. Jones, living at 109 North
Twenty-sixth street.
Boy Scouts Prepare
for Big City Rally
Omaha Boy Scouts are looking
forward to February 17, which is the
data set for their first midwinter
rally. On that night the City audi
torium will be thrown open to the
scouts, their parents and friends.
Signalling by flags, wireless and
heliograph, bridge building, wall
scaling, group games, scout drill and
color ceremony constitute a few of
the many events. Most interesting
perhaps from the viewpoint of the 10
troops who won district honors, will
be the final contests to decide which
troops annexes the cup awarded this
year for city honors.
The Rome Miller cup will be pre
sented by Mr. Mllrr to the scout
making the best time in the fire-by-friction
contest
The cup is on display at headquar
ters and secretly owned by several
scouts. It is reported that McGrew
Harris, a scout in Troop 9, can pro
duce fire in six minutes and 22 sec
onds, though headquarters feels con
fident that a few "black horses" in
several troops are preparing to beat
McGrew at the Auditorium.
Nicknames Popular
at "Y" Boys' Division
A stranger coming into the Boys'
division and hearing the boys at their
play and talking and calling to one
another is often surprised at the
nicknames used in common parlance.
Nor are the instructors and office
help exempt from the names attri
buted to the boys who come in each
day.
Everyo-ne knows that "Shirt" is a
good ping-pong player because he
has seldom been beaten at the game.
"Soup" likes the game very well and
has become known as a debator in
Bible classes. "Bony Head" 's found
ir. the swimming pool at every op
portunity coming his way and no
one doubts but that athletics is a
favorite pastime with him. :
"Wild Fire" ;s a leader in Junior
B class and his earned his title
through the fire and enthusiasm he
puts into his v;crk. While "Filthy
McNasty," bcit'.r known as "Goudy"
is becoming a movie operator. As a
jckesmith he also is quite efficient.
"Tarean," better known as "Jiggs,"
and his partner "Maggie" make a
pair that terrorise the Boy division
wth their antics or at camp fire
furnish much merriment as "da
monks."
"Cabbage Ears," "Mush," "Mag
gots," "Pooch," "Andy Gump," "Po
tato," "Mousa "Lucy" are all well
known charar.ers about the "Y" and
have come upon their titles rather
unexpectedly. They were so dubbed
by their companions.
Two New Scout Troops

A new troop will soon be added
to the roster of SO troops now under
teh Omaha council. The Benson
Methodist Episcopal church is hav
ing an organization meeting on next
Thursday night for the purpose of

fident of having a full troop. Chief

Old Styles Not Likely to Return
PERHAPS the glow from the coal grate in front of which they sat rocking made the two old ladies think
of by-gone fireplaces with their huge burning logs bef ore which they had spent many a merry winter's eve
ning. At any rate, they fell to talking of the various customs of those distant days, and especially of the fash
ion which had then prevailed. "
"I can remember the first panfalettes .1 ever wore," remarked the elder of the two. "I couldn't have been
more than 4 years old but I can still recall how elated I was when mother tied them about my knees. Yes,"
she laughed at my exclamation of surprise, "they were not regular drawers, only make believes at first, with
little draw strings at the top which fastened them on securely."
"I remember the first hoop skirts that I wore," sa id the other old lady. "I was about 10 when mother
finally decided that I mustn't be so hopelessly old fash ioned. So she made mine out of rattan. " It came in
great loops and was sold by the yard. Some even used grape vine when they couldn't get rattan, so anxious
were they to be in style. Money was not very plentiful in those day, especially out in the wilds where we
lived." , ,
"My, wouldn't it seem funny to go back to them!" laughed her companion. "And folks went to such ex
tremes, too. I can remember seeinar a

"Some of them were so large, when I was a youn g girl," interrupted the other, "that their wearers could
hardly get through a doorway. They had to tip them up and go in sideways. And they were often so long
tnat tney swept tne tioor as well as a broom. I hen there were the low necks and short sleeves that were so
fashionable in those days. How I used to suffer from t he winter's cold when I went to a party. For while
one's face might burn from the heat of the fire place, there were plenty of chinks and crannies to let in the wind
and one's back was always chilly."
"Well, one thing is certain," I broke in upon their conversation, "we know much more about the art of
dress in these days. Never, never, will we be so foolish as to wear such dreadful styles again." '
At my outburst they turned and looked at me. "Never is a long time," one of them remarked quizzically.
After they had passed on to other topics of conversation I continued to think of the ways in which wom
ankind has confined and hampered her body. For instance, there is the corset which due to our tennis and
golf, our hiking clubs and gymnasiums, is now quite harmless. And yet, think of what it was in the centuries
aeone. An instrument of torture, to sav tht Iffast. FlvrPfl in our mlonial rlav !fr na tiffin (aeTiinnaf (mm .

Then there were the enormous leg-of-mutton sleeves of the "90s which, stiffened with buckram, in their great

Surely our present day modes, our straight line frocks, our moderately short skirts, and our natural sized
