WOKEN CEIT1CISE CAB SERVICE Will Ask Ptreet Rallwar t m smlb t ta Llsalt C1, mm Ovrr ewt I Its ry ( ! tio. - Monday afternoon's meeUnirtf, the Wom an's club fairly' overflowed With interesting features, chief among which was Mrs. Nel lie Kedate Jones at Kalamazoo. Mich., one of the principal speakers before the model kitchen of the Corn Show, who. under the aucpices of the domestic science department of the club gave a general talk on home making and the origin of its teaching in schools und -colleges. Mrs. Jones prefers that it be called home mak ing rather than domestic science or do mestic arts, for, she contends, it Includes both these filings and so many ' other things that "home making" is the only name that covers the subject. "Domestic economy began," Mrs. Jones said, "back tn the Garden of Eden, when Mother Eve handed something to -at to the man w ho had been placed in lier care and later when Sarah baked cakes on the hearth." And then she gve an interesting history of domestic science in the schools from its beginning at Mount Holyoke, back in the early forties when Mary Lyons demanded to know why girls should not be educated in the things that would help them in their life work Just the same as men were. Catherine Beecher and her sister, Harriet Beecher Slowe. were the next in th work and after them the agricultural colleges, of Iowa. Kansas and Illinois intro duced domestic economy lrrto their cur riculum. Mrs. Jones herself brought the work in Kansas from Its small beginning to a place in the fronk ranks and there is just being completed now a fTO.OMi build ing at Manhattan, Kan., which Is to house this department of the State Agricultural college. Tke P.wer of Exasaple. She related how through necessity the department was first located in the base ment of the main building and as it gained fame representatives of other rolleges came to visit it. Invariably they returned home and placed their departments in the base ment also. Learning this, Mrs. Jones adopted an argument for better position that proved more effectual than words. On days when such delegations were ex pected, she made it a point to boil onions and cabbage and like odoriferous things the fumes of which from the basement position of the rooms. Beoessarlly pene trated the building. Then she told of the Instruction in cooking In the schools abroad. m& she urged that the girls of this country given every advantage to aid them to better fill the position of bomemakers. "We would not think of putting a man into a great busi ness without any preparation." she said. "Then why should we put our girls Into homes and expect them to rear famlllies without preparation 7" A general discussion followed her address and in answer to the question. "Does the school instruction in home economics take the place of the home Instruction?" Mrs. Jones answered em phatically. "No. But if a girl is to get nothing of this instruction at home she m ay much better get it at school than not at all."

Another councilman then moved to place the ordinance on file and the chairman had called for the vote, when Mr. McGovern awoke to what was going on and entered the arena with a whoop. "I want to tell you that the grand jury had nothing to do with this ordlnanoe; I drew It up all myself, before it met." he said. "Further, the grand Jury did not wield any laah over me iuJ neither can the council." He then moved that the ordinance be re ferred for two weeks and the motion car ried. Brsrkrr'i Barber Bill.

CHARMED BY ARMY SURGEON R. Z. Drake Eatrrtalaa Dr. E. K. Johnstone, Wk Treated Him la Voarmlte. Dr. E. K. Johnstone, first lieutenant in the United States army, was the guest of IK. Z. Drake, president of the Standard Bridfte company, Monday. The doctor ar rived In Omatia In the morning with Battery F, Fifth artillery, from the presiiiiu, San Francisco, enroute to Fort Sheridan, Chi cago, and laid over In Omaha all day. Dr. Johnstone and Mr. Drake formed an acquaintance last summer under unusual conditions. Mr. Drake and a party of friends from Omaha were visiting in the Yosem te valley, where the doctor and his reglmbiit were encamped. Mr. Drake became ill. Ttiat Is not significant unless you happen to know Mr. Drake. He Is a man of peace except when sick. Then he suddenly becomes a man of war. On this occasion in the Tosemlte be was even more bel.leose than ever. To fall 111 In such a place, surrounded by the most J beauurui handiwork oi nature, out to have a "good time" this was too much. It came time to summon a physician. Where was one? The army surgeon was alone In those parts and he was not obliged to do private practice. Though he was s most gifted young man and exceedingly skilled In his profesel m, Mr. Drake's friends hesitated to call him. "Why. I can't ask that doctor to go In there and see Mr. Drake; he'll throw him out of the tent, sick as be is." exclaimed one of the party most familiar with the Omaha roan's ecc ntri. lties. But Mother Neceeatty spoke, spoke sternly. The rest of the st ry is told by Mr. D.ake. "That man's treatment of me made him and me lifelong friencU," he said. "I can't believe that It was his connection with the arm;', or his military aspect that overcame me, but anyhow I subsided and got well a little after he took hold of me. But the funniest thing of It all was to see my friends outside, holding their breath for the storm to break inside the tent." So when Mr. Drake learned that Dr. John stone was in Omaha Monday the affairs of the Standard Bridge company were laid on the shelf for the day. Xr.
