DELP FOR OLD PEOPLE'S HOME Woman's Christian Association Working for a New Building. SUM NEEDED ALMOST WITHIN REACH Effort t floor Famda Purchase ad Basis Bolldlo la the North Part o( tho Cttjr. The Woman's Christian association, maintaining the Old People's Home at 2718 Burt street, has long felt the need of a larger building and more ground and Is about to conclude the purchase of a double house and three lots on the northeast cor aar of Twenty-fourth and Wirt streets. The eost of the property will be $6,800. On January 1 the association sad $3,800 In Its building fund. Since that time a most tlrasly and generous contribution, amount ing to IS, 097. 60, has been raised by Mrs. 0, H. Diets, who, after visiting the home, realised the need of a larger and better quipped building and at once began so liciting funds for the purpose. C. N. Diets and Guy C. Barton each gave $500; Mrs. O. W. Wattles and W. Stull $200 aeh, Mesdames C. N. Diets, W. W. Marsh, O. A. Joslya and A. S. Carter, Mr. and Mrs. B, A. Cudahy and Messrs. O. A. Hoagland, A. S. Carter.

Redick gave $100, E. W. Dlzon, N. Merrlam, J. A. Munroe, Thomp son, Belden company and the Carpenter Paper company each contributed $50; Mes dames Samuel Brown and A. D. Jones. Dr. H. Gifford, Dr. W. O. Henry, W. U. Mas terman, F. R. Strelght and J. U Kennedy $25 each. Other contributions of $5 and $10 amounted to $S0. Coadltloaal Subscription Offered. It is expected, too, that the Omaha British-American league will give a sum raised to commemorate Queen Victoria's Jubilee year,' amounting to something over $750, to the building fund. Two conditions attach to the gift: One that the name of Queen Victoria be honored in some fitting manner by the home; the other that the home, when opened, be free from incum brance. -The conditions satisfactorily com plied with this sum would really be the first contribution received, aa the officers of the league sometime since signified their Interest in and desire to assist the work. With this last amount the association would have on hand in round numbers $7,250, without it $6,500. Deducting from the latter amount would leave a balance of $200 towards remodeling the building. At least $1,500 is needed for this purpose, as the building must be put in sanitary con dition, repapered and repainted and the furnace repaired. The Friday club, the pioneer woman's club of Omaha, will contribute a sum netted from an entertainment given last week at the Elks' club rooms. Five hundred in vitations were issued and each guest in vited asked to contribute 25 centa. , Work Kceda Help. The Women's Christian association is the oldest charitable organization In Omaha, having been In existence twenty years. Its work is well known and covers a field not duplicated by any other so ciety. Friends In the past have been gen erous la the support of this needed work. A general appeal ia now made for sub scriptions to enlarge Its scope. With a generous response from the public the as sociation can do this and make the Old People's Home, which it is hoped to open May i, an Institution of which Omaha will be proud, and without incumbrance except the special taxes, which will bo met from year to year. Subscriptions can bo sent to Mrs. George Tildes, president; Mrs. Fred Clarke, treas urer, Cuming atreet. and Mrs. p. u Ferine, chairmaa of tho home, 1920 Dodga stzoot. AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Oitj Engineer Has Flan for Boad to ths Eiver Front PROPERTY OWNERS TO DONATE THE LAND Idea la to Open Hoadwajr Alons See - tlou Lines from M Street on North to Y Street on South. There Is an entirely new plan to open a road to the river front. This time it looks as if a permanent toad would be eatablished. Yesterday City Engineer Beal was able to show a plat and announce pub licly what bad been accomplished. The idea is to open a road along section lines from M street on the north to Y street on the south. A. K. White owns property on the west side of the road for a half mile south from M street. Then comes J. L. McCsgue and Mary W. Bor land for a quarter of a mile each. Next on the south is the Midland Investment company with a tract of about 400 feet. On the eaflt side of the line the property is divided between Herman Kountze and U. C. Gibson. All of those Interested and owning abut ting property with the exception of Mr. Kountze have agreed to donate twenty-five feet on each side of the section line for a road. As Mr. Kountze has been away for some time those In charge of the matter have been unable to see him, but It is understood that he will sign when the pe tition Is presented to him. The petition is now being circulated and as soon as the signatures necessary are obtained it will be presented to the council Engineer Beal says this road can be opened with little expense, as the city road machine can be used to good advantage. Two small bridges will have to be built, but these will not cost much. By building this road the city officials say that all trouble with the Seagers will be done away with and that there will then be a good road tc the Emergency hospital and also to the river. Mr. Host Declines. There Is still a controversy about se curing a suitable custodian for the Car negie money to be donated for the erection of a library building In South Omaha. Until a treasurer or custodian Is named a draft cannot be made on Mr. Carnegie's agents. President McCulloch of the Li brary association would like to have City Treasurer Howe take charge of the fund. In case he does this, Howe will have to go to ths expense of paying for his owa bond la a sural company, besides ketjlng the cash accounts for glory. Mr. Howe de clines to go to this extra trouble, as ho says the keeping of the accounts of the city and the school books takes up all of his time. It is thought that the Library associa tion will have to make arrangements with some bank for the handling of the funds, but the banks are not inclined to take on this additional work and give a bond with out compensation. The moBt feasible plan seems to be to have the association elect a treasurer and lwve this official give a bond. When this Is done the funds will be coming forward as needed. ' Treasurer Howe Pays Cash. Saturday forenoon City Treasurer Howe, who is also treasurer for school district No. 3, paid the teachers and janitors Feb ruary salaries in cash- From 10 a. m. until noon the treasurer's office was crowded with teachers and Janitors. It was the first time in some months that the treasurer had paid all salary claims In cash. The total amount paid out was $6,939.74. By the payment of this sum In catth the district Is saved the interest on the warrants. While this course of the treasurer has been objected to by some, those who pay taxes are pleased to know that quite an amount of Interest was saved to the distrtct. Brown Kidnaping- Case. William H. Brown, charged with kid naping Grace Marie Northway, the 4-year-old daughter of Mrs. James Ford, was brought to trial in police court yesterday afternoon.

There are many schools where the subject matter of school studios may be learned and where the laws of growth and powers of the mind may be studied, also schools In which the princi ples and practice of teaching and school room management are taught, but there Is no school where administration and super intendence are made specialties.

FOR 5r"77" PREVENTS PNEUMONM, The effective treatment of an ordinary "Cold" Is a matter of a day or two against a possible subsequent sickness ft,. weeks. The Indications of a severe attack of In fluenza are headache, chilliness, general muscular pains, fever, sore throat, sough and systematic lassitude. It Is folly to risk Orlp or Pneumonia when the use of Dr. Humphrey's "Seventy-seven" will prevent and cure Orlp and Colds. The best results are obtained by keeping "77" ' handy (it fits the vest pocket). Taken early, , it cut it short promptly. Taken during Its prevalence, preoccupies me system and btctcbU Its tnvaaloa.
