Free Shoe Fund to Rescue of
Poverty-Stricken
Home.
A bright little girl of 8 came to an
Omaha school last Friday niovning.
Her leachef noticed that her old
shoes were literally failing from her
feet. Her toes were blue with cold.
"Mama Is Rick and so are my little
brothers," she told the teacher.
That afternoon her teacher aceorn
ponied her home.
Home!
What a. mockery of the word was
the galvanized iron shack, banked
with dirt on a bluff down near the
river.
The mother, her weary faced rav
aged by sikness, lay on a. bed. She
told her story; husband dead, her own
struggles against unequal odds.
"Mary does everything she can,
but we have no money and I don't
know what wilt become of the chil
dren. 1 don't care about myself," she
sobbed.
Mary got her shoes from the Free
Shoe fund. And the two tiny brothers
did, too.
There are other cases of the same
kind coming In daily.
Would you like to have a hand in
helping them? Just send or bring
what you can to “Free Shoe fund,
The Omaha Bee, Omaha."

Delta Gamma House at
University Quarantined
Lincoln, Dec. it—Thirty-six coeds
of the Delta Gamma sorority chapter
at the University of Nebraska were
languishing indoors this afternoon
under a three-weeks’ quarantine for
diphtheria. Two cases of the malady
were discovered at the sorority house
and the quarantine was immediately
placed in effect.
The girls are amusing themselves
studying, playing checkers or talking
to their beaux through megaphones.
' Although the girls have no classes,
they are not permitted to have
"dates”—so they find it about an even
break after nil.
