Hebrides Relief
Drive Launched
by Omaha Clan
Small Farmers of Highlands
Stricken hv Famine. Result
ing From Failure of
Potato Cropg.
Members of Clan Gordon, No. *3,
Omaha Scottish organization. Is col
lecting funds for the relief of famine
conditions in the Hebrides and Scot
tish highlands.
The situation among the cotters and
crofters of the district is described
as worse than any time since the his
toric famine of 1846.
Much of the distress, according to
"W. J. Hislop, treasurer of the clan,
is due to decimation of the Scotch
population during the war. The war
drained the little farms and the fish
ing industries of the young men,
leaving only the old men, women and
children.
Rains Ruin Crops.
Added to this fact as a contributory
cause ore the heavy rains of laRt sum
mer, which ruined the potato crop of
the district, made It almost Impossi
ble to harvest hay or small grains,
and which also Interfered with the
cutting of peat, by means of which
the residents heat their homes.
Children in the affected area, ac
cording to Mr. Hislop, are sent to
school without breakfast, because at
school they may at least be warm,
whllo there Is frequently no fire In the
home. ,
Due to the inherent pride of the
race, the true nature of the situation
was not made public until recently.
Keliof campaign In America is headed
by the Scottish American, a New
York newspaper circulated widely
among Americans of Scottish descent.
$500,000 Needed.
This paper estimates that $500,000
will bs necessary to tide the in
habitants of the Hebrides over until
new crops are harvested in the fall.
Campaigns already are actively under
way in New York, Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Illinois,
Maryland and other states.
"Nebraska has many inhabitants
of Scotch descent, and it is to these
that Clan Gordon is particularly mak
ing Its appeal,” Mr. Hislop said.
"We feel that Scots throughout the
state will contribue to help their fel
low countrymen.”
An entertainment, the proceeds of
which will be turned over to the re
lief fund, will be held at the Swedish
auditorium the night of April 3.
Mr. Hislop is connected with the
McCague Investment company.
Clarify Taxes,
The motor vehicle conference com
mittee, an organisation consisting of
motor users, dealers and manufactur
ers, is working on a plan, a Firestone
news bulletin says, for clarifying the
present conyilex system of highway
taxation.
Rear Wheel Tires.
It is good practice to place weak
tires on rear wheels. A front tire
blowout may cause the car to swerve
dangerously. There is less danger in
case of a rear tire blowout.

Omaha Brunettes Challenge Eastern Critic of Their Type and Declare
Blondes Less Adapted to Leadership and Business Pursuits Than They
Dark-Complexioned Maidens
Deny They Are “Spitfires”
and Say Blonde Sisters
Temperamental.
Brunettes or blondes, which type of
feminity rules?
The brunettes seem to bs In the
majority In the executive positions
in Omaha, despite a declaration by
an eastern man that brunettes didn’t
amount to much, that blondes were
superior In many 'ways.
This man, Earl Carroll, producer of
musical extravaganza on Broadjvay
and manager of Peggy Joyce, recent
ly turned away from brunettes and
emphatically stated that the blue
eyed girts, the blonde, fair type, were
superior physically as well as men
tally.
The brunettea of Omaha, actively
engaged In worth-while work, chal
lenga Mr. Carroll. Brunettea are not
temperamental and have aa symetrl
cal figures as their blonde sisters,
they claim.
Seldom “Spitfires.’'
Brunettes are seldom spitfires, they
add, their nerves are not as uncer
tain as those of the blondes.
If your hair Is of light shade, red
or light brown, you are a blonde. If
the hair Is dark brown or black you
are a brunette. If medium brown,
the color of the eyes determines the
blonde or brunette. If the eyes are
gray, blue, green or of a brown so
light as to be orange or yellow, you
are probably a blonde. Hazel light
brown or dark, gray eyes mean that
you are on the dividing line and
your type is determined by the color
of the hair.
Sorority leaders Brunettes.
At the University of Omaha the
majority of girl leaders are brunettes.
The presidents of three sororities
out of four are brunettes. They are:
Miss Alice Ttuf, president of Pi
Omega PI; Miss Doris Rpiff, presi
dent of Phi Delta Psi, and Miss Ann
McConnell, president of Sigma Chi
Omieron.
Miss McConnell, who has brown
eyes and black hair, Is rIso editor of
the annual book for June graduates
and president of the French club.
As for scholarly brunette girls In
Omaha, we might mention Miss
Frances Cameron, only girl student
In the senior class at the Creighton
College of Pharmacy, and president
of the sorority for pharmacy stu
dents, Lambda Kappa Sigma. An
other is Miss Helen Wyandt, assistant
In the pathological laboratory at the
University of Nebraska, College of
Medicine. Miss Cameron and Miss
Wyandt both declare they do not
agree with Mr. Carroll about blondes.
Brunettes Stronger?
Miss Elizabeth Fry assistant di
rector of gymnastics at the T. W.
C. A., declares that in examination of
girls for the work, brunettes aro
found to be stronger than the ma
jority of blondes.
"Brunettes last longer,” said Miss

bers. At Burgess-Nosh company, out
of the 800 employes only 25 are
blondes.
‘ The brunettes are better In every
way," said Mrs. J. T. Crawford of
Burgess-Nash, ‘‘I trust the brunettes
more, even though there are some
awfully nice blondes. I find the bru
nettes more steady in their work,
perhaps because they are stronger
physically."
Carroll Belden of Thompson Belden
company says In all fairness to the
blondes that there are just a;| many
department managers of the fair type
ns brunettes. "I don't believe the
color of the hair makes a great dif
ference,” he said.
Employers Seek Brunette*.
But Miss Fay Watts, who manages
an employment agency, says some
men ask for brunettes^ especially
when seeking new office girls.
"The brunettes lead In th* wo
men's division of the Chamber of
Commerce," said Miss Watts, who is
a past president of the division.

Glenwood Poet-Mother Finds Theme
for Poems in Homely Things of Life
Alta Wrenwick Brown Writes
Kind of Verse Called
for in “The Day
Is Done.”
‘Three Wee Names I Know'
Winifred. Maud and Mab*l
Ar# three wee names I know—
Three loved wee names engraven
On marble white as snow.
Up In a prairie country
Where waxen wild-rose blooms
In sympathy and solace
The hallowed place perfumes.
Winifred, Maud and Mabel
Are on the Other Shore
In yearning love-embruaure
Of Mother—gone before.
Fully they have forgotten
Their motherless dead past
And ail their babo heart longlngB
Are satisfied, at last.
Oh! If the sight of sorrow
On earth makes angels mourn—
May «iod, in love, forbid them
* To glance from that glad Bourn!
Winifred, Maud and Mabel
Are safe and all is well,
But how I miss my darlings
The Lord, alone, can tell!
—Alta Wrenwick Brown.
» ...
Alta Wrenwick Brown.
Glenwood, la.. Is not a large city.
It haa no "teeming marts of striving
men" of which the poets I6ve to sing.
Yet from It come songs of a differ
ent character.
Alta Wrenwick’ Brown la a wife;
aha la a mother; ah* la th* maker
of a home, yet she haa withifr her
that quality of emotion which Inspires
the kind of verse that Longfellow
In his "The Day Is Done," calls for:
'Tom, sins from some humbl.r poet
Whoae nones gushed from his heart
Like showers from ths clouds of summer,
Or tears from ths eyllds start."
Much of her poetry Is of the almplo
things about her in her home town;
th# little things which mean so much
and which are often forgotten In the
press of so-called progress. Many of
her verses have appeared In The
Omaha Bee and have excited a good
deal of favorable comment.
Haa Twin Sister
Alta Wrenwick was one of twin
sisters, Mrs. C. P. Hamilton of Glen
wood, being the other. There were
eight children besides those two.
Her father came to Glenwood when
there were but seven tents and no
houses. George I>ocke Wrenwick, of
hardy Srotch-Irish descent, built the
first log cabin In the etnbyro city.
Eliza Burton Kvans, the mother,
was of English lineage, who counted
a nobleman In her ancestry.
The poet-wife-mother, who Is now
In her fifty-fifth year, looked upon
school as a pleasure and lind as her
favorite study, literature. In high
aohool It waa her task to prepare
literary papers. Here It was that the
germ of poetic Instinct begnn to de
velop. Her first poem was a parody
on Poe's “Raven.”
Belli Win Scholarships.
••For recreation In childhood," she
writes, "we had home literary soci
eties formed by schoolmates. Our
meetings were held In the various
homes. Our work was very original.
For refreshment* we served lemon
ade and cake."
She was salutntorlnn of her grade
ntlng class at high school. Her twin
sister was valedictorian. Both won
scholarships which they did not use.
y
WretgjJick 'ironing
In her little history she makes spe
cial mention of her older sister,
Annie. Her sacrificial sunny Chris
tianlty and charity are stressed.
Alta Wrenwick married Walter f>.
Rrovyn, a graduate of Glenwood High
school. In April, 1899. Their two chil
dren, Rohense and Mary, both are
graduates of Glenwood High school.
Kxpresxes Heartaches.
A mother's heartaches and loneli
ness are expressed between the lines
of many of her works. She has seen
her girls start out the path of life
successfully, but the knowledge that
they were not at her side Is a con
stant •source of that dull, throbbing
pain of soul which accompanies the
breaking of home ties.
"I have tried to teach my children,”
she aays, ‘'that a elmple home Is no
detriment to lnute rellnement. In
tho home they have had religious nnd
social training. Nursing the family
when siijt, housework, sewing with
my woman’s club and church work
have led me a busy life. My life
has been full, hut not so full that It
excluded the work I love nnd which
In not altogether a. hobby, hut part
of my life, Interwoven Into my very
veins.”
I.tfo has brought her more sorrow
than joy. hut she has learned exceed
ing happiness In service to the ones
she !o\ s best. Her Isolated environ
ment and lonely evenings have urged
her to make uso of verse ns an out
let for her emotions nnd she Is thank
ful for the privilege of being able to
express her heart In words.
And so she goes bravely on.

Salt Harder Than Steel.

been discovered by the Russian acade

The experiments are •till under

cess can he applied commercially, it
would cause a regular revolution in
the technique of industry. Rare and
expensive materials now necessary lie
cause of their hardness will he re
placed by cheap materials.
Through the Roentgen rays, Joffe
said, it was discovered that long be
fore the crystals of a material fell
apart they had loosened their hold
on one another because of breaks In
their surface. If. however, the cry
stals are treated in such a fashion
that the breaks are prevented, the
resistance of the crystals, and there
by the hardness of the material Is In
creased several hundred fold.

Hair Often Ruined
By Careless Washing
Soap should he used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Many soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much free
alkali. This dries the scalp, make*
the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsifled eocoanut oil shampoo, which
is pure and greaseless, and is better
than anything else you can use.
Two or three teaspoonful* is suf
fleient to cleanse the hair and scalp
thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it In. It makes
an abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust. dirt, dandruff
and excess oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it loaves the scalp
soft, and the hair fine and silky,
bright, lustrous, fluffy, wavy, and easy
to manage.
You can get Mulsifled eocoanut oil
shampoo at any drug store; It Is Inex
pensive, and a few ounces will supply
every member of the family for
months.

CITY COMMISSIONER'
MY RECORD AND CONVICTIONS.
I have lived in Omaha most of my life and until a few years
ago conducted the T. F. Stroud Co., manufacturers of road
making machinery. I retired from active business to become
county commissioner at the request of my friends, which office I
have held for the last, three years, acting as chairman of the roads
and bridges committee.
I am very proud of the bridges and many miles of paved
roads built during the last, throe years. I made personal inspec
tions continuously while they were under construction.
During my administration Dougins county has paid off
$187,000 debts and at present it is running on n cash basis, some
thing which had not been done before. During the same period
the county taxes were reduced $I42,6.'I6.
I will support heartily all civic improvements consistent with
thr size of-our city and our financial resources. 1 do not favor
forcing the paving of streets on property holders who are opposed
to paving on the grounds that their property will not be benefited
sufficiently. I believe in and will insist on providing proper and
scientific testing and inspection on all city construction.
I believe there should be more efficiency, both personally
and collectively, in the operations of city government. We cer
tainly need more business and less talking in conducting city
matters. We need business men to manage our city and not
politicians. I am not n politician, having spent the greater part
of my life operating my own private business.
If you want a day’s work for a day’s pay: if you want a fair
business man; if you want efficient city administration with more
actions and less words, and if you believe in civic advancement—
l solicit your vote at the primaries April the 8th.
