NOT ENOUGH GIRLS FOR WORK
Remind of Eie Employers for Eilp Camst
r. misd.
YOUNG WOMEN MOST ALL PROSPEROUS
Do Not Feel the Xeeesalty of Accen
ts Whatever Wages Arc
Offered to Tbesa
Just Sow.
"Olrls Wanted Good Wages."
At factories, stores, restaurants, emplcy
ment bureaus all over Omaha, the signs
printed In big letter hang In the most
prominent place. The newspapers carry
advertisements to the same effect and on
the bill boards are posters proclaiming In
letters a yard high that g.rla are wanted.
But the girls coyly refuse employment.
They don't even go to see what are the
wages and the hours. They don't need the
work. Times are so "flush" that father
and brother and husband have good Jobs
at good wages and the glris can afford to
stay at home and take their ease.
Such Is the only explanation at which
the worried employers are able to arrive.
The stringency Is felt most heavily at the
local factories. The M. B. Smith company
could put 260 operators to work today If It
had them.
"We simply cannot get them," said Mrs.
Dobeck, forelady at that establishment.
"A green girl here can start In and make
$3 the first week and In three months sh
ought to be earning st least $10 and some
make as high as $15 a week. They work
nine hours. Even the girls we have now
are of a fluctuating class. Many are from
small country towns. They have relative
In Omaha and havo com in to work a few
weeks and aee the sight. Some come to
me every day and say. 'I have enough
money to pay for my summer clothes now,
so I guess I'll quit and go home. And
home they go. I don't know what we will
do."
ante All Along tho Mae.
Similar stories were told at the factories
of Bryne A Hammer. Kelley ft Heyden and
Albert Cahn. A. C. Scott, acting manager
of the Omaha Tent and Awning company,
declared he had not had enough girls to
run his machines for months. The in
evitable "girls wanted" sign hangs in his
window in three different wordings, but the
girls come not. Employe In thl factory
make from $S to $12 and a few earn a high
as
George N. Robert, manager of the Bemls
Omaha Bag company, gloomily reviewed
the situation as he finds It.
"For the last eighteen months we have
been without the girl help we need and j
are today about seventy-five girl short. ,
We have had advertisements In the daily
papers and lately I decided to put posters
on the bill boards, thinking that perhaps
there were some girls who do not read the
want columns of the papers. Would you
believe It. not one single application did
the poster bring. It's not a question of ,
wages, but the girls simply do not want the j
work. I can't explnin It. Three years ago j
we would put an nd In the papers cn Sun-
day and on Monday there was a string of j
annllcnnts a block long."
Practically all the factories In the city !
tell the same story. The telephone com- j
pany Is experiencing a shortage of glriv
which threatens a serious handicap In open.
Ing the new station In the north part of
the city.
Never so Bbort.
"Wo have never been so short of girls
before." said President C. E. Yost of the
Bell Telephono company. "We may be
compelled to bring In some operators from
the country towns. We are In need of
forty right now and none are In sight."
Telephone girls work eight hours and
earn from $1S to $36 a month. They have
to be of a particular physical slse. Fat
girls won't do, for they will not fit Into
the little chairs prCvlded for them, and
girls with short arms will not do, for they
can't reach around over the switchboard.
In the department stores there Is also
need of girls. Nearly 3,000 of them are
employed In the department stores of
Omaha. "We are always able to provide
places for good girls at the present time,"
said David Baum of the Bennett company.
Restaurants and hotels are calling ur
gently at .the employment agencies for
waitresses who can earn from $10 to 115.
"The demand for girl stenographers Is
stronger than ever before In Omaha," said
Miss Rhoda Breakey, manager of the
local Smith Premier employment bureau.
"We ar able to fill only about three
fourths of the positions which are open
at present. We need particularly girls who
are neat, conscientious and fairly educa
ted." The demand for girls for general house
work Is so great that many people In the
city have despaired of getting any help
and have settled down to try to get along
without girls. The wages run as high as
$7 a week.
Harry Morrill, clerk at the marriage
license bureau, Is the only man who does
not report a shortage in this line.
"I find that every applicant for a mar
riage license has a girl," says Mr. Morrill
cheerfully. "No, sir, no stringency here."

This Is ths way Bernard Qulnn, manager
of the bacon department of Cudahy'a pack
ing house, took th statement of Colonel
Canada that moat of tho elk-tooth watch
charms, whoso wearing th president of the
United States denounoet, were celluloid.
Mr. Canada had given utterance to such
sentiment through th column of th
people organ, Th Bee and a such mutual
friend wa telling Mr. Qulnn about It. Mr.
Qulna la an ardent Elk and wear a beauti
ful or did wear It Elk tooth for a watch
charm or fob. Now, Mr. Qulnn I also a
mighty fine, genial man and a son of Erin.
When he get excited, a on thl occasion,
hla nationality asserts Itself.
"What- eating Canady, anyway? Why,

Someone chanoad to auggeat that Colonel
Canada had made a study of th matter
and found a very large number of theaa

personally tested many by simply applying
a lighted match to then.
"He did, did h?" retorted Qulnn. "Well,
now did you hear him say that h had

put that tooth In a Aery furnace and It
would come out aa good a ever. It cam

"They don't hav any elk In Boston, do
they?" asked on man.
Naw, they don't, but they hav th beat

He did. Now Mr. Qulnn Is wearing a

HARRIMAN RAISES MORE PAY
t alon and Oth or Pacific Railroad F m
ployea Are Let In on
the Profits.
Clerks and stenographers and some of
ficials In the I'nlon Pacific and other Har
rlman headquarters In Omaha and other
cities have been uniformly benefited by
advances In salaries. Some three months
ago a general movement began and It has
culminated In the Increase of pay of thou
sands of employes. Wednesday, being the
first of a new month and therefore a pay
day, many hearts were made glad In the
Union Pacific headquarters, when drafts
Indicating substantial raises were parsed
around. The Increases are from 10 to 20
per cent.
"The head of the Harrlman management
recognized the very patent fact that the
cost of living had gone up so much within
the last few years as to be entirely be
yond the scale of salaries," said an of
ficial of the Union Pacific. "The company
found that faithful employes had become
unable to cope with conditions because
expense were so dlsproportlonally out f
plumb with their purchasing power. At th
same time with the enormous Increase
the cont of living, the stagnation of wage
and salaries, the company recognized the
fact, also, that Its earnings, like those of
every other business concern, had Increased
enormously. In a word It became apparent
that this great wave of prosperity sweeping
over the land was benefiting only the em
ployer and so It was decided to let the em
ploye, who helped make the prosperity. In
on the profits."

o'clock. Thev had met for the flrt tlmv
One Intended the hand clasping to mark
the rani" of their ways, while the other
found that the greeting was but the stsrtr
for a llvelv chnse which lasted over two
hours and whlrh was fraught with ennuxli
melodramatic action to make a Lincoln J.
Carter thriller.
The heroine In the case was Miss Emily
Haaar. as'l.-tant secretary of the Asso
ciated Charities, while the maverick was
Mrs. Schuyler, who waa sentenced thirty
days by Police Judge Crawford Thursday
morning. Miss Hagar played detec'tlve with
considerable skill and ultimate success.
She hung onto her quarry In a chase which
Included a circuitous rout of the business
part of town.
Dr. Jamea S. Goets. In The Bee build
ing. Wednesday afternoon telephoned the
office of the Associated Charities that on
old woman waa soliciting money tor the
avowed purpose of buying transportation
to friends In Missouri. The doctor sug
gested that the charity organization fur
nish the ticket. Miss Hagar responded
In rerson and was on the way with Mrs.
Schuyler to the Associated Charities' office,
when Mrs. Schuyler hesitated on the pro
text she had left a package In a restaurant
and feared the place would close before
train time. As a token of good fulth that
i '" would return to the charltios' office
within the hour Mrs. Schuyler shook thu
hand of Miss Hagar. Then the chase.
Mlsa linear Sees It All.
Miss Hugar, read between the lines and
resolved to stay with Mrs. Schuyler, auj
the assistant secretary's staying qualities
proved to be of a strenuous' character. Mrs.
-1 Schuyler started down Fiirnam street with
Miss Hugar in pursuit. Mlfes Hagur Is a
small woman, but can go some on oc
casion. Mrs. Schuyler coverd Farjiam,
Douglas and DoUga streets, entered several
stores where she made small purchases,
with Miss Hagar In the running all the
time. Seized with a fit of exasperation at
the persistance of Miss Hagar. Mrs.
Schuyler started to run south on Tenth
Btreet- Miss Hagar knows how to run.
The last lap brought the twain up to a
Japanese rooming house at Ninth and
Leavenworth street, where Mrs. Schuyler

to view.
Miss Hagar hurried to Union station,
secured the services of a policeman, with
whom she returned to the Japanese rooming
house. The proprietor at first denied the
presence of a woman described as Mrs.
Schuyler, but the officer got the keys and
began trying doors. When Mrs. Schuyler's
door was reached the woman answered
and her daughter came out and fell on the
necks of the policeman and Mlsa Hagar,
begging both not to molest her mother.
The woman was arrested on a charge of
vagrancy and sentenced thirty days by the
hJ! police Judge Thursday morning. It de
ln veloped that the probation officer hid a war
rant for the Schuyler girl, who Is 14 years
of age. The daughter Is now In the De
tention home.

A Bargain
For ut-of-Iown
Patrons
CUrERB is the only word tfiat describes
this suit. The fabric is equal to that used
in the most expensive garments. It is cut in
three button half-round style, is splendidly
tailored and very stylish. It would be hard to
duplicate this suit under $20. You may have
it in modest gray over plaids; or dark blue
worsteds with dainty pin-point effect in white
not too fancy, just rifjht for most men. We
make this price because we want to sell a large
number of these suits. We would rather have
a small profit on five hundred suits than a
large one on one hundred. Ii's better for us
and saves you about $5.00 on this suit. Regu

We all hav met pecpl who r contra,

thing dreadful 1
going to happen,
nothing 1 vr
Just right, and
they worry and
fret and complain
from morning till
night.
Their trouble
seems to b Jus
a bad dtjposillots
but this is soldora
so. In most casos

MR. J. U. SMOCK.
' with them; either
their nerves or their digestion Is respon
sible. Both come from the same thing
stomach trouble. A poor man or woman
whose nerves are tied In knots Is bound to
be mighty poor company. The same thing
Is true If what they eat don't digest pro
perly. No wonder they gruinbla, I don't
blame them.
I have seen Cooper's New Discovery
change tho whole disposition of p.jplu la
a month's time simply by t; ttliig their
stomach In slio, again. Kven the -is-presslon
on their faces was altogether
different. The worried, tired, fretful loa
changed to a peaceful, hap;iy expression,
and the lines of cur disappeared altogeth
er. Many pouple i. il mo about this In let-
. ters. They ae m to think it is a miracle.
It Isn't. It's Just the siom.ch working
! again.
I Here's a case of this kind: .
"I suffered with my stomach for thrten
! years. Nothing I ate scenu-d to digcxt. I
j also hud chronic constii ation. a:id wa
tired, dull, lrrlthblo an puridcnt ' all
the time. I fuund It difficult to attend to
my duties as traction uf-nt at this pU.e.
I "His different Victois treated me and
all give different opluif.ns.
"I began talcing Cooper's New Discov
ery, and to my surprise It helped me I run
