32 Kiddies Wait
for Warm Shoes
Long Waiting List in Wake of
Christmas Jollity—
Money Needed.
■ ■ —
Your loved ones have received many
nice things for Christina*. But have
you remembered the little children
with the pinched faces who are still
looking for the shoes which they need
.-o badly In winter's cold?
It Isn’t too late yet to contribute
to the Free Shoe .iUnd of The Omaha
I lee which supplies these needs. Thir
ty-two children, in deseperate need
of shoes are waiting on that list. Each
case has been carefully investigated
by school teachers. Each case is de
serving.
Not a cent of this fund Is spent on
"overhead" expense. Every cent you
give goes into shoes for some terribly
poor kiddie.
If you can and will help, send a
check or cash to "Free Shoe fund,
< are of The Omaha Bee.” Checks
may be made out in the name of
"Free Shoe fund."
Will you?

Nebraska Girl Fatally Hurt While
Singing Christmas Carols in East
Separated from a group of college
students with whom she was singing
Christmas carols In Cape Elizabeth,
Me., Christmas eve, Ruth Bachelor,
22, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John J.
Bachelor, Valentine, Neb., was run
down and killed by a one-man trolley.
There was no song Wednesday In
the heart of Dr. Neal J. Dau, 24, Fres
no, Cal., Interne at Clarkson Memorial
hospital, as he sat broken hearted in
his little room at the hospital. For
Ruth had entrusted her heart to the
keeping of the young doctor one
moonlight night last summer and the
coming summer was to witness their
marriage.
"I’ve drawn about the worst Christ-,
mas gift ever meted out," sobbed Dr.
Dau. "I first met Ruth about three
years ago. She wanted to finish her
education in the east. It was agreed
that we publicly announce our be
trothal and be married when she re
turned from school this spring.”
Dau and Miss Bachelor met while
the latter was attending the Misner
School of Expression here. Last
spring Miss Bachelor enrolled In the
Leland Powers School of Expression
at Boston.
At ths time of her death she was
spending the Christmas holidays with
a school chum, Miss Elizabeth Hunt,
at Cape Elizabeth.
Word of the fatal accident was re
ceived, In Omaha Tuesday by the
girl's parents, who were spending the
Yuletide with Mrs. Bachelor's parents,
Mr. and Mrs. August H. Wolf, 3271
Hascall street. Dr. Dau was also at
the Wolf home when the message was
received.
According to meager reports of the
accident which reached Omaha, Miss
Bachelor had become separated from
a group singing Christmas carols, and
while searching for her companions
was struck by the trolley. It is said
that the blinding lights of an ap
proaching automobile prevented the
motorman from seeing the girl.
Miss Bachelor attended Rockford
college, Rockford, 111., and the Univer
sity of Nebraska. She was a member
of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority.
Funeral arrangements are being de
layed pending arrival of the body at
Valentine, where the funeral will be
held.
Detective Fred Falmtag found in
his mail Wednesday morning a
Christmas card from Miss Bachelor,
mailed December 21 from Boston.
