Add Nutritionist |
to Visiting
Nurses
A nutritionist will be added to the
staff of the Visiting Nurses' assocta
tion, it was decided by the board of
directors at a meeting held March It
in the association rooms at the city
halt.
Giving advice to mothers about the
buying and preparation of food, and
the management of hollies and bud
gets, will be one of the principal
duties of this specialist. The nutri
tionist will also devote particular at
tention to children of pre-school nge,
from 2 to 5 years, which Is often
’mown as the “No Man’s hand’’ of
childhood. Preschool clinics will be
organized arid conducted for their
benefit.
Miss Florence McCabe, superinten
dent of the Visiting Nurses' associa
tion, leaves town soon to study a
“generalization plan" being adopted
by similar associations in other cities.
For some years, the Omaha associa
tion has been organized by special
ties. Certain nurses confine their at
tention to tuberculosis and others
care for other diseases. It follows
that several nurses often visit a
single family. By the new plan, one
nurse cares for all the ailments in
any given 'family.
Reports show that 4,700 calls were
made by visiting nurses last month*
and 2,211 patients were treated, vl
whom only 9 died.

Hack to Bonnet ami Shawl
. _
By ELEANOR GI NN.
m.23*
•Ml
It is not such a far cry from the
lays of the bonnet and shawl! What
more or less than a bonnet Is the
cloche? As for the shawl, we have
no new name for It, even though the
shawl Is distinctly "in” this season.
Not because of the Spanish back
ground which Is one of Havana's
most insidious charms, are shawls
worn there, but because they are chic.
A few years ago the only glimpse one
had of the manton in Havana was at
carnival time, and to a limited degree,
in the shops. But now, women of
fashion wear them for evening, and
nothing more decorative can be im
agined.
The first thing an ambitious Ameri
can tourist does is to go forth In
search of a manton. There are plenty
to be had, but at prlcea which are
prohibitive except to the extrava
gant. It is by the fringe one judges
these shawls; the embroidery is only
secondary. They are quite heavy,
one shawl frequently weighing as
much as a fur coat. While huge
flowers are the most striking era
brodery motifs, there are women who
do not consider them as good taste
as the smaller designs, and still
others who prefer two tones instead
I.f the black and while combinations,
which are also popular.
As everyone knows, many soealled
Spanish shawls are embroidered In
China and Manila. So of course the
Chinese influence is easily detected In
some embroideries. In fact, some axe
quite pronounced, as in the wrap
sketched, which has for Inspiration,
the fringed shawl.
The square shawl of crepe sans
embroidery, with handsome self
toned fringe, is also affected by smart
women who are Intrigued more by
the graceful silhouettes possible
rather than by its other charm*.
One may have a collection of such
shawls sto harmonize with many
evening gowns for the price of one
magnificently embroidered one. The
hand-decorated shawl of Russian
persuasion is less popular in south
ern resorts than the embroidered or
plain types. There are also the
Roman silk scarfs, shawl-like in pro
portions.
So far, the shawl dress has been
encountered only once or twice, and
always in plain colors.

Character Tests Shown by
Wayne Educator
Wayne, Neb., March. 12.—"Charac
ter tests” were described by President
Conn of Wayne State Teachers’ col
lege In recent addresses to faculty
and students on "Significant Tenden
cies In Education,” which he based
especially on indications at the Na
tional Educational association con
ference in Chicago.
These character of temperament
tests aim to measure the qualities of
a student's disposition. They serve
as additions and corrections to the
intelligence tests already in use In
the schools, and often give widely
different results.
These newer tests are based on the
supposition that patience, persever
ance and kindliness may be socially
as valuable as speed in solving a
mathematics problem; that it may be
as important for society to produce
a St. Francis as a Napoleon or a
Lloyd George.
Form Parent Teacher
Association at Beal
About 100 mothers ot children at
Beal school met Tuesday to organize
i Parent-Teacher association. Mrs. S.
r. Jonas was elected president; Miss
Helen Dongsdorf, vice president; Mrs.
H. C. Farber, second vice president;
Mrs. C. W. White, secretary, and Mrs.
J. J. Grabow, treasurer.
This new organization is the 10th
Parent-Teacher organization to be
formed In Omaha schools. Only one
of the 10, the Dundee association ,1s
affiliated with the state and national
Parent-Teacher associations.
They Are Wearing
The scarf collar as It appears on
fur trimmed cloth coats. Is generally
entirely of cloth, with fur forming
only a decoration on the ends. One
coat developed In black suede cloth,
showed a scarf collar of the cloth. The
ends thrown hack over the shoulders,
reach almost to the edge of the coat,
and are finished with deep plaques
of muskrat fur.
A touch of red is a noteworthy cos
tume detail of smartly dressed wo
men. A black crepe de chine frock
has pipings of red on the bodice and
running down the skirt. A black vel
vet frock, worn at luncheon at the
Ritz, had Its plainness relieved by
fine cuffs of lingerie and lace, eet off
by a single band of red ribbon at the
wrist.

If a cold has been neglected and has
gone down into the chest, producing
acute bronchitis, thoroughly redden
the skin over throat and chest with
hot, wet towels to open the pores.
Then massage briskly with Vick* for
five minutes, spread on thickly and
cover with two thicknesses of hot
flannel cloths.
For hours after Vicks is applied the
vapor* of Camphor, Menthol, Buca
lyptus, Juniper Tar, etc., are inhaled
directly into the infected air passage*.
At the same time Vicks is absorbed

poultice or plaster.
Being externally applied, Vicks is
especially good for children and is used
by millions of mothers to prevent or
relieve cold troubles.
