To cut tha cloth of tvsryday existent to fit tht Pari,
tian model is nut a laudable ambition.
Amerira, with a ciimat differinif much from thai
of the French capital, can with propriety disregard
or delay the adoption of Taria itylea. Women of the
United State may Indeed bt tha beat rowned in tht
world, but if to it ia not becauat of their imitation
of M. Poiret'a designs, but only that they temped
their dress to their environment.
"A CHAPEL IN EVERY HOME."
An eastern Kentleman, of whoae aincere piety thert
ran bt little doubt, accepting hit writing! aa proof of
hit devoutnrM, ia conducting a cruaadt for tht entub
liahment of a chapel in every home. According to
him:
The auifllnn la not fr an rtuhorale fldltlon to
the houae, but to tuke on room, email nr large, aa
i lrrunialani i a fnuy permit. If only alx (ert by four,
iut It anlilf, call In your nilnlnter anl ennavcrat and
d.dl'at It to Alnilahi 'oil aa tha "I'loevt" for
prayrr, tli rhapel In the home, an audience rham
lr for the King- of Klna.
Punuing hia argument a little farther, ht drawa
an unpleaaant picture of tht condition! in tht Amer
ican home, at regarda matter, religioua, aaying:
There la nothing n.w In the thouaht of a rhapel
In every home. In the day of the Apoatle I'aul he
peraonally recorded that there were church In the
hoiiiH of Nytnphua, J'rlmlllu and Aqullla, and
Apphla. Paaan Home had houaehold temple for
her Idol god. What haa I'hrlatlnn America In her
home for the Only Living (Sod? In many home
you could not find a Ilihle. We expect everything,
health, happlneaa, rlchea, honor, but w Rive noth- '
lug. Modern rcllKlon la more of a Habbath ohaerv
ance than a recognized dally need. There la little or
nothing In our home, or home life, to rem Id ua of
(jod. Family prnyera are a thing of the pant. Ornce
nt meal time U a rarity. There la duet on the family
Jilhle.
Realizing tht difficulty of bringing proof, wt make
told to dispute these conclunioni. We do not believe
that Americana art a Codleia people, that they are no
remit in their religioua dutiea ai this writer would
have ua believe. Follow hia conclusion to their logi
cal end, and wt become a race of unbeliever, akep
tica, wont than pagans, for they do worship some
thing and we nothing. '
American habitually' and instinctively turn to
Cod. Tht nation rests on the declaration, "In God
We Trust." That motto finds exemplification in all
our works, public and private. Grace ia said before
and thanka are given after meat ih so many homes
that it is a mistake to label them "rarities." In mil
lions of homes the family altar stands an it did in days
of yore, and around it kneel the family in worship of
a Divint Creator. Statistics furnished by the
churches show a steady gain in numbers of professing
Christians each year.
A chapel in every home would be a splendid pros
pect, for it would mean a nation on its knees each
day; but it is unfair to suggest the utter lack of piety
on part of the people to support an argument in
behalf of the plan. It would bt far better to suggest
that the devotion now existing be extended to include
the chapel. And still "prayer is the drawing of a
breath, the lifting of an eye," its efficacy is not in its
words but In the manner of its utterance, "and thy
lather, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee
openly."
A COMMUNITY INVESTMENT IN HEALTH.
Health ia now thought of a a community problem
as well as one concerning tht individual. It ia leas
coktly in lift and money for tht tntirt rommunjty to
support nurses and other speclali. ts to help keep
peoplt well than for each person or each family bt
left to its own fate. Viewed m this light, tht tag day
collection to bt taken In Omaha next Wednesday for
tht Visiting Nurst association it not an added expense
but instead represents an opportunity for actual
saving. Those who contribute to this fund receive
more in tht coin of humanity than they pay out in
real money.
Seven hundred babies art now being cared for at
tha fivt infant welfare stations maintained by tht
Visiting Nurses. Every call for nursing cart and ad
vice Is answered by them. In tht last six montha
24,930 nursing visits havt been made by these sympa
thetic, efficient women. Last year 43,375 visit wert
made.
Such is tht Immenst task for the support of which
$20,000 is iought. Its field has grown steadily in the
26 years of its existence. When its founder, Mrs.
II. M. Rogers, returned to Omaha after graduation
from Johns Hopkins she set out alona on her work of
ministry and now there are 24 well-trained nurses,
A babe with infected eyes is saved from blindness
through 30 visits from a visiting nurse, A working
man'a leg ia saved by proper cart after an accident.
A woman recovering from confinement is given much
riceded'advice and attention that saves her life and
that of her infant . Crippled children are given
their chance to becomt whole. Tht ravages of tuber
culosis art held fn check all through these nurses
With thanks in their hearts tht people of Omaha
shoujd welcome the opportunity to contribute to this
splendid service.

WHEN THE RAIN CAME.
, An empire had sweltered and baked under the
breath of the simoon. Fields were withered and
parched, plants drooped, and trees bowed and swung
in the blast, as their leaves shriveled and curled under
the intense heat. Men and animals alike sought in
vain for shelter from the pitiless rays of the scorch
ing sun, and day and night sought surcease that did
not come. A hot wave was on the land, and millions
felt the fierce blast as it mercilessly beat upon all that
live under the sky. Summer culminated in one
intense drive of burning zeal in a material as well as
a figurative fashion.
And then, when it seemed endurance could bear no
more, that the test was complete, and the sun god had
won his way, came the clouds. It was as Elijah fore
told to Ahab, and as Ahab's servant a cloud no bigger
than a man's hand; yet it was a cloud, and with it
came tht curtain that shut out the dazzling, burning
rays of tht sunlight, and in mercy promised the relief.
Finally, tht blessed rain, and such delight of cool
fresh air that living things forgot the discomfort and
misery of tht heat wave, and knew only the delight
of the shower and the promise of rest it brought.
And these things are all the result of the universal
law, coming from God as an emanation of His divine
will, a proof of its certainty and evenness of opera
tion. Tht blistering breath of summer simoon, and
tht paralyzing cold of a winter blizzard comt from
the jama cause, subject to the sama Immutable rule
that brings tht rain to relieve tht ont and tht thaw to
soften tht other.
Man may toy with but can not control tht ele
ments, lit must takt tht cllmatt aa it comes, but
even tht most thoughtless rejoice when tha sky let
loose tha stored-up vapors to end a "hot spell" with a
grateful shower,
THE BEST GOWNED WOMEN.
Taut Poirtt, high prie.t of fashion, ennndet tha
opinion that American women art three year be.

PUTTING LIFE IN THE MOVIES.
Over in tha children's room at the public library
is an old-fashioned stereoscope such as used to be
found In the parlof of innumerable grandmothers.
Tht double photographs art thert also, and as one
views them through the stereoscope the two pictures
combine in one, giving an impression of depth and
form that Is absent from the flatness of a single
picture.
It is from the principle of the stereoscope that the
next great improvement in moving pictures is antici
pated. A successful showing of anJnvention to give
me io me iiims nas recenuy Deen given in inicago.
Harnett W. Harris, a picture play director, obtained
the new effect by making a few minor changes in
motion picture machinery and providing the specta
tors with simple instruments resembling the eye
piece pf the stereoscope.
The picture had been taken with two cameras,
set in positions corresponding to the right and left
eye. In the development of the two films are double
printed on one film. In its projection the film is
run through a machine with a double aperture which
throws two images on the screen, one above the other.
"The great thing has happened," said Prof. F. R.
Moulton, a scientist of Chicago university who has
made a deep study of tht moving picture act. "The
first great change in tha motion picture has been
brought about by Mr. Harris. All the motion picture
houses will need when the process is introduced will
be a phonograph attachment to make motion pictures
the equal of the stage."
Perhaps this is over-enthusiastic, but certainly
the introduction of a device to relieve the flat shadows
that flit across the screen would be of high impor
tance. It is conceivable that the public might tire of
the movies as they now exist, and an improvement
such as this is sure to add new zest to this amusement.

MAN'S HUMANITY TO MAN.
Down in the Argonaut mine, almost a mile below
the surface, more than 40 men were buried, almost
beyond hope of recovery by an accident. Hundreds
of feet of solid rock and hard packed dirt inter
vened between them and any possibility of rescue.
Faint hearts might have turned back from the task,
but not the men of the mines. These had but one
thought. Their friends and comrades were in danger,
and to save them heroic work must be done.
The whole story probably never will be told.
Another Stephen Crane might find here material
for another "Red Badge of Courage," and set out
in deathless sentences how the men and the bosses,
miners, doctors, experts of the rescue forces, pitted
themselves in the struggle against the inexorable
power of Mother Earth. How shift after shift pushed
drill and pick and shovel to the urge of desperate
hope that a way might be found to the living tomb,
and the victims reached before death overtook them.
Here was no question of eight-hour day, or union
card, or any of the inconsequential things of life.
Men were buried and would die unless by dint of
their utmost effort other men might reach them with
succor.
That was all, but around it may be framed one
of the most impressive pictures ever set before tho
world, glorifying the devotion of man to an impera
tive duty when another is in danger. "Man's inhu
manity to man makes countless millions mourn,"
wailed a poet, who had his eye on the sordid, seamy
side of lift when peace permits selfishness to sway
men's motives. Man's humanity to man is the saving
grace that marks tha raca as of divint origin, for
when danger threatens or disaster prevails, tht su
blime devotion of strong men to on another is Cod
like. . Only man can do such things as were done at
the Argonaut, and havt dnt many a time, because
only man will dart tht elements at their worst to
relieve thost who are in jeopardy and helpless. t
Tht Beatrice Kxpres urges mort respect for
officers of tha law at a step toward diminishing law.
breaking. It is a wholesome thing for all public
servant to ba given to feel that tha people stand
back of them.

reverent respect for the girl whose
heart they wish to win? Is there no
longer In girls the excited waiting
for the "one man" to appear? Have
the old days and the old ways gone,
never to return?
These are the questions that are
bothering Jhe fathers and mothers
of today, "when they think of the
time of their courtship. Their book
of remembrance Is filled with the
thought of the faithful horse, who
could be driven, let us say, with one
hand, or with the lines wrapped
around the whip. They think of the
country flowers, offered so awk
wardly at the shrine of the girl, and
the fudge and other candy com
pounded in the kitchen to delight the
boy. They think of husking bees,
of quilting parties, of long walks In
search of the first spring flowers, of
going together to church and re
turning by the long way. They
think of these things, and they
wonder whether the old romance,
the old love, was dead, and whether
in Its place had come a light nnd
frivolous attitude toward the tendor
things of life.
Who can say? It Is always the
tendency of age to reject the Im
pulses of youth. Yet there Is much
to be said for those who believe that
some of the finer thlnRS of the older
days have been lost In the bustle nnd
hurry and Independence and frank
revolt of youth.

FAIR PRICES ON GOAL;

OOAL SHORTAGE CONDITIONS
On April 1, 1920, the contract with our miners, carrying the war bonuses awarded them by
United States government commission, expired. The miners went on strike to continue these wages;
the operators resisted, in an effort to reduce wages to a peace basis.
The lonu continued strike depleted stocks of coal and brought nhout a condition which was se
rious to public welfare, and settlement was made with the miners on tho basis of last year's con
tract, to run until April 1, 1923.
