A plea for religious education in the schools of Omaha was made by Dr. Norman E. Richardson of North western university, dean of depart ment of religious education, Monday morning at the meeting of tho Omaha Ministerial union at the Y. M. C. A. "Only 40 per cent of the children In America are reached by religious education in the Sunday schools,” said Dr. Richardson. "We are facing a great problem of acquisitiveness in this nation. We have not developed the teachings of loyalty In our chil dren. Religious education is the only method by which real character can be planted in the plastic stuff of the child. The teaching of Christ is the only thing that can save the coming generation.” Executive committee of the union mot at luncheon to discuss the ques tion of religious Instruction in Omaha schools, but no official action will l>« taken, said Rev. W. L. Whitcomb, pastor of Calvary Baptist church, a member of the committee. Rev. George Dorn, associate pastor of Kountze Memorial Lutheran church, was elected vice president of the union to take the office of Rev, Victor Weet, who has left the city. Rev.

Scientists who make a special ty of industrial research have tested Dreshen:’ methods, equip ment and cleaning process and have recommended their plant as competent to do correct clean ing— cleaning that is thorough enough to render clothes gcrm proof. If clothes are thoroughly cleaned at a fireproof plant like Dresher# they are safe and at the same time the work is thor ough so that every particle of the grit and grime is removed. Because the fine grit causes the nap of goods to wear, Dresh ers spare no expense in testing their methods to see that their work is accurate. That's why with nine of the most progressive cleaners of the country, they spend $16,000 every year to maintain a laboratory of indus trial research at the University of Pittsburgh. Dresher Brothers are not only dyers and cleaners but hatters, tailors, furriers, rug cleaning ex perts and maintain a cold storage plant for furs, rugs and clothing.

All day long the wounded young Bob White crouched In a clump of weeds on the Green Meadows. It was a clear, bright day, but the weeds shaded him from the sun. All day Mrs. Bob White remained wdth him. Her mother heart ached for him. He himself felt too 111 to think at all, and so he did not worry. But his mother knew what the dangers were, and she grew more and more anxious She looked forward with dread to the coming of the Black Shadows and night. She knew that during the day there was little to fear down there on the Green Meadows from Reddy Fox or Granny Fox or Old Man Coy ote. Hidden as they were under the weeds she was nor afraid of being found by any of the Hawk family. But with the coming of the Black Shadows all would be changed. Then Reddy Fox and Granny Fox and Old Man Coyote and Jimmy Skunk might come prowling around at any time. Then, too, Hooty the Owl would be out hunting. "If I could only get him over to the dear Old Briar-patch." Mrs. Bob White kept thinking. Every once in a while she would coax young Bob Whits to try to walk. But he felt too badly. Hs fe.t so badly that ha wouldn't even eat. She stole away from him two or three limes to get him some food, but ho refused the moat tempting tld fc.ts. Once In the uuernoon she discov ered Black Puss; the (’at prowling about not far away. She knew that if Black Pussy sn'.ukl discover your.g Bob it would be the end of him. There would be no escape. So Mrs. Bob White at once flew over and dropped down In the grass Just a little way In front of Black Pussy. She pretended not to have seen Black Pussy at all. At once Black Pussy began to creep slowly and softly as only Black Pussy can. straight toward where she had seen Mrs. Bob White drop down In the grass. Mrs. Bob White began to flutter along the ground ns if she were badly hurt and couldn't fly. Black Pussy became excited. Yes, sir, she became very excited. She didn't stop to think that she had seen Mrs. Bob White fly there In the first place. "That bird Is hurt,” said Black Pussy to herself. "She can’t fly. I can catch her without any trouble.v So Black Pussy no longer crept softly forward. She bounded forward. Once in tlw aflernon she discovered Him li 1’iissy the ( at prowling ahnut not far away. Mrs. Hob White fluttered along, al ways Just out of reach. Him k Pussy became more excited. Time* and again sho sprang, expecting to bring her paws with their sharp claws down on Mrs. Bob White and each time she Just missed. It was an old trick that Mrs. Bob White was playing. It wouldn't have fooled Roddy box No, sir. It wouldn't have fooled Red dy Fox. Hut It did fool Block Pussy. Farther and farther away Mrs. Bob White led that foolish eat. At last she felt that it was safe to leave her. Hhe allowed Black Pussy to just miss her once more and then sho whirred away on her stout wings, having Black Pussy staring after her with such an astonished look on her face Mrs. Bob Whlto flew In quite another direction from where tho young Iloh Whlto was In case Black Pussy should Iry to follow her.

He won't send he back for Just once. Mickey. Peter has got 'a deaf ear.’ He said ho had! He ain’t goin’ to hear it when I slip a swearin's, an Mil key, I am tryin'! Honest I'm tryin' Jus' as hard, Mickey!” Mickey turned a despairing face to ward Peter. •'.Just like she says.” assured Peter. "We've all got our faults. You’ll have to forgive her Mickey." "Mo? Of course!” conceded Mickey. "But what about you? You don't want your nice little children to hear bad words." "Well,” said Peter, "don't make too much of It! It’s likely there are no words she can say that my children don't know. Just Ignore and forget It! Sho won’t do It often. I'm sure she won’t!” ''Are you sure you won't, Miss. ' de manded Mictey. "Sure!" said Peaches, and In an <r fort to change the subject: "Mickey, 1s that cow out there yet?” "No, Junior took her back to the barnyard." “Mickey, I ain t going to put a cow on my book; but 1 want to wee her again, away off. Mickey, take me w here I can see. You said last night you would." “But the horses are bigger than the cows. You’ll get scared again, and wath scaring and crying you’ll be so bad off your back won’t get any bet ter all day, and tomorrow 1 got to leave you and go to work." "Then I'll see all the things today, an’ tomorrow m think about them 'til you come back. Please Mickey! If things don't get Bobbie an’ Mary, they won't get me!” "That's a game little girl! said Mickey. "All right. I'll take you. But you ought to have—” "Have what Mickey?” shs Inquired, Instantly alert. "Well never you mind what." said Mickey.' "You be a good girl and lie still, bo your hack will ho better, and watch the bundle I'll bring home to morrow night." Peachea shivered In delight. Mickey proceeded slowly, followed by the en tire family. "Mickey, It's so big!” she marvelled "Everything Is so far away, an so big!” "Now Isn't 1t!” sgreed Mickey. "You Bee It's like I told you. Now let me show you the garden." He selected that hi a safe proposi tion. Peaches grasped the Idea read ily enough. Mrs. Harding gathered vegetables for her to see. When they reached the strawberry bed Mickey knelt and with her own fingers Peaches pulled a berry and ate It. then laughed, exclaimed, and cried In delight. She picked a flower, and from the Bafe vantage of the garden viewed tho cows and horses afar; and the fields and sheep were explained to her. Mickey carried her across the rood, Mary brought a comfort, and for a whole hour the child lay under a big tree with pink and white clover in a foot-deep border around her. When they lifted her she said: "Mick ey, tonight wo put in the biggest blesses of all." "What?” Inquired Mickey. "Bless the nice people for such grand things, an' the berries; but never mind about the now." Then Mickey took her hack to the house. Hhe awoke from a restful nap 1o find a bosket of chickens wait ing for her, barely down dry from their shells. Hhe caught up s little yellow ball, anil with both hands clutched It, exclaiming nnd crying In Joy until Mickey saw the chicken was drooping. He piled open her excited little fingers; but the chicken remained limp Soon It became evident that she hud squeezed the life from It. "Oh Penehes, you held It too tight'” walled Mickey. ' I'm afraid you’ve made II slckf" "I didn't mean to Mickey!" sla pro tested I didn't drop it! 1 held It tight as I could!" .Mis Harding rem lied over Slid picked the chicken from Mickey s lingers. "That chicken wasn't very well to begin with," she said "You give it to me. and I'll doctor It up, while you take another one. Which do you wan'."’’' "V'elhou.” enUYetl Peaches, "but please hurry. and Mickey, you hold this one. Maybe I held too hard!” "Vts you did," laughed Peter. "But we wanted to see what you'd do. One little chicken Is a small price for the show you give. It's all right, Butter fly.” “Peter, you make everything an right, don't you?” “Well honey. I would If I could.” said Peter. “But that a something of a contract. Now you rest till after dinner, and If Ma and Mickey agree on it, we'll go see the meadow brook and hear the birds sing.” "The water!” shouted Peaches. “Mickey, you promised—” “Ves I remember.” said Mickey. "I'll see how cold It Is and if I think it won't chill you—yes.” “Oh gee!” chortled Peaches. “ 'Nother blesses!" "What does she mean?" aaked Peter. Mickey explained. “Can’t see how It would hurt her a mite," said Peter. “Water Is warm, nice day. It will be good for her." "All right," said Mickey, “then we'll try It. But how about the plowing Peter, shouldn't I be helping you?" "Not today," said Peter. "I never allow my work to drive me, so I get pleasure from life my neighbors miss, and I'll compare hank accounts with any of them. Tomorrow I'll work. Today I'm entertaining company, or rather they are entertaining me. I think this is about the best day of my life. Isn't It great. Ma?” "It Just Is!
