This Improvement when It has been completed, will rank with tracks for automobile racing In 'st and will make Omaha a racing second only to Indianapolis. The old fair ground track . which Is mile tit length Is being changed In many ways to accommodate M te Its new pur- y poee. The turns are being banked to height of about fifteent feet to decrease the chance of accident and when the grad ing la completed, the track will be covered with a patent preparation and kept well oiled. This preparation la said to give greater spring then asphalt and to be superior in many waya to the track covering at In dianapolis, which la of brick wttli a thin layer of cement laid on top.

The project la also re oelvtng the hearty backing of the Omaha Motor elub, although that club la not Inter ested In the track except through Ita Indl vidua! members. The total east of the im provement, including the atanda which will be built now, la estimated at from $5,000 to H.O0O. . Thoae who are remodeling the track have promised the Speedway company that It will be In condition to use by August W, . and very soon after that H la the plan of the company to open the track wtth a big automobile racing meet In which auoh celebrities as Barney Oldfteid, Oeorge Rob inson and the like will contest. The date for the event has not been definitely de cided and probably will not be for aome . flays, as it la necessary to arrange to ao commodate tt to the time at the disposal of the big racers.

The oompany also hopes te have bicycles and motorcycle races at the track and the quarter stretch will be ar ranged for use In aeroplane meets.

Among the Women's Clubs Announcement ii Made of the Sates for the Meeting of the Nebraska Federation General Federation President Will Visit Nebraska -U. S. D. of 1818, State of Nebraska, Hare Another Heal Daughter Notes. The president 6f the Nebraska Federa tion of Women's cluba, Mrs. Frederick H. Cole, announces October 11. u and is, aa the datea for the atate convention to be held at Tecumseh. The definite fixing of these datea has awaited assurance from the president of the general federation, Mrs. Philip N. Moore, that they would fit Into her plans, aa the visit of the national president Is one of the featurea of the con vention anticipated with much Interest Thla will . b Mrs. Moore'a first official visit to the Nebraska club woman. At present Mre. Moore is sojourning at Thunder Mountain, Idaho, and she writes that she hopes to be able to visit Ne braska at the datea planned for the meet ing. Her coming depends only upon the condition of her ankle, sprained at the re cent biennial. As this Is steadily Improving, though still stiff and uncomfortable, she hopes to be able to attend the Nebraska meeting. The United Ftatee Daughters - of mt. atate of Nebraska have now five real daughters, Mrs. I W. Dickinson of Humphrey, Neb., having recently pre sented her papera. These have been ap proved and confirmed by the national board and are now held by Nebraska s president and state organiser, Mrs. Herbert W. Oates, awaiting the first meeting of the society, when Mrs. Dickinson will be admitted to membership. Nebraska la ex ceedingly proud of her possession of five renl daughters, as there are not many In the United States. The membership of the Nebraska organi sation Is steadily Increasing, and other new members are waiting to be admitted at the first meeting In the fall. Mrs, . Gates, who 4a Instrumental In the auooees of the United States Daughters of 1612, State of Nebraska, has herself re cently been admitted to one of the coun try's most exclusive patrlotlo organisations, the Colonial Daughters of the Seventeenth Century. To be eligible' to this society one must be a descendant of some prominent member of - the colonial legislature.

"Mrsv Frederick Cole was the guest of honor' at an Interesting club picnic given Friday by the Valley Woman's club.

MoLaughlln will give a talk on "Commission Government" Thla meeting, aa In fact, all of the meetings, la open to all Interested In the topic of discussion. Now It Is the girls' turn to enjoy" )lfe at the summer oamp of the Boclr"' settle ment maintained at Tyson lake. Tha flrat two weeka the camp was open to the boys of the settlement and the privilege was one they duly appreciated. For tha next two weeks the girls are to be the camper. Miss Clara Schaefer Is In charge of the camp. Inasmuch 'as the clubwomen of Nebraska are keenly Interested In the matter of a civil service reform law and the appoint ment of a state board of control, they are watching with especial Interest the out come of the present atate election. The Interest Is augmented by the fact that two of the parties, the republican and populist, have Included a board of control plank In their platforms. The clubwomen, are very much In favor of having a civil service re form law back of the board of control. Mrs. Henry H. Dawson of Newark, N. J., haa resigned her office as recording sec retary of the General Federation of Wo men' a cluba and the national board haa appointed Mrs. George O. Welch of Fergus Falla, Minn., aa her successor. Mrs Welch waa national treasurer during the laat term, but refused re-election to this office, but has accepted the new position of honor. Commenting upon tha work In which Mrs. . Ferry Starkweather of St Paul la engaged, Collier's Weekly seya.-v "Mrs. Perry Starkweather occupies a position unique In the United States. Minnesota alone has established a department lor women and children In Ita Bureau of Labor. Mra Starkweather, with four women to aid her, la In charge of thla department bearing the title of assistant labor com missioner. The aim la to make It a sort of clearing houaa for all matters pertaining to the general welfare of women and chil dren In Industry and In eehool.

Mrs, Herahey, It will be re membered, waa the originator of the clever and practical Idea of persuading the mov Ing picture eetabllshmenta to co-operate with the clubwomen by allowing the club women to uea their machines for the showing of their art slides. Miss Sylvia Pankhurst ' will come to America About January 1 for a lecture tour of two or three months. Miss Margtret McMillan will also make a leotuie tour after she speaks at the Internal! una! oon gross In Washington on September 2S. Mrs, Philip Snowden and the Hon. Philip Snow den, M.

Hereafter they will manage the achool affairs of the colony. The women wore jubilant over the vie tory. They aay It establishes an Important precedent for them In the matter of claim in a voting realdence of husbands. Most of the voters are married, they said, and their husbands live In New York, where they have a voting residence. The women' say tbey regard Shoreham a their residence and that they have a right to vote from that place. Nebraska's Oldest Woman Lives in Cuming County The announcement that Mrs. Susanna Pariah of Seward la the oldest living wo man In the state of Nebrsska la slightly In accurate. A remarkable centenarian la Mra. Dora Harstlck of Cuming county, who Is without doubt the oldert woman In the state, she having celebrated her 101st birth day March 25 laat. At the age of 101 this remarkable Nebraska pioneer walks two or three miles to the Catholic church, of which she haa alwaya been a devoted member, performing the task with cheerfulnesa and vigor. Mrs. Harstlck has not been a hothouse flower, protected from the blasts of the world outside, nor haa her path been atrewn with risea. She la a pioneer of the atate, came here when this region waa a wilder ness and took her share of the burdens In the day when the foundations were laid for the great commonwealth of Nebraska. Mrs. Haratlck waa born March 25, 1809, at Stelnbtirek, Hanover, Germany. ' For nearly fifty years she resided In the fatherland. married, and together with her husband and children, pursued the even tenor of life. The spirit of unrest however, and the lure of the weat, ao common to the German peo ple of that generation. Impelled the little family to seek their fortunea In the land across the sea, and In the year 1854 they landed on the shores of America with their arrall possessions. The first settlement made by thl family waa at Dubuque, la., where they resided until the year 1860. At this time, hearing wonderful stories of the fertility and golden promise of the new territory of Nebrask, Mr. and Mrs. Harstlck journeyed to this ,tate. They settled at what was at that i.me the out post of civilisation, locating on the virgin prairie In what is now 8t Charles town ship, Cuming county, conceded at ' this time to be one of the w earthiest and most highly improved townships of farm land In the state of Nebraska. This famllv is almost the first settlers of this town ship and during the first twenty years following the settlement they took a lead ing part In the building of churches, schools and the general Improvement of their new borne. They were among the few faithful ones who, feeling the need of spiritual instruction built the now his toric church at fit-Anthony In St Charles township, the first church built north of the Platte river in Nebraska, which waa replaced three years ago by a fine, new brick structure. For many years this struggling congregation was unable to se cure a regular ministration, but was com pelled to depend upon the occasional visits of missionary clergymen.. 0 . ' i . 4 ... ? V t. MRS DORA HARSTICK. Among the men whe braved the danger of hunger, flood and Indian forces to serve a few families In thl parish was the late Father Dexacher of Omaha, a noted mis slonary priest. The father, Henry Harstlck died In the year 1880, leaving Mra Harstlck with three surviving children, all of whom are now aged men and women. Beside her three surviving children, Mrs. Harstlck la the grandmother of twenty-five and the great grandmother of over fifty children, her descendants numbering a little over one hundred. Among her grand-children Is Wil liam H. Harstlck, the present county clerk of Cuming county. She 1 In full possession of her mental faculties as well as posses sing unimpaired physical strength. To all appearanoes she bid fair to live for many years longer. She makes her home with one of her grand-children, near the old homestead, where he apent over fifty year of a happy life. She occupies her time principally In knitting and spinning for her numerou descendant. She Is In excellent health, In fact better than when she celebrated her 100th birthday. The only thing Indicating her extreme age la a slight dimness of vision. SIlTOli TIRED MOTHERS REST at the door, a tidy maid, the next; cook dinner and still keep neat and fit to serve It before It Is cold; wash and iron, dust and make beds. The apartment was small, five tiny rooms with a hall just wide enough for my thin self. The work was not hard- how could it be in so snug a place? Mrs. Janes told me her name, and then went into the detail of what my task would be. The washing waa done in the kitchen where the top of the tubs served as work table and Ironing-board, One must be a fine Ironer to handle her elaborate French underwear, she warned me. She ate her breakfast In bed, and liked the maid to do her mending. They had a heavy dinner at night, when they used the silver and cut glass, and these, being a prime rec ord of their married state, were put away In chamois. The maid must end her day by scrubbing the kitchen floor. Then, If there were no guests for a late supper,' she might go home to sleep. The wage were I&.00 a week and the maid paid her own room rent which could never be less than 12.00, perhaps $3 00 a week. This the agent considered a good place, saying that I 'ought to be pleased with so generous a lady. Not wanting to be over particular, I agreed to stay, and when 'Mrs. Jane said, "Begin at once," I began. During the dinner preparation, when there were aix things to cook, I waa ner vous. Tho potatoes were baked, the steak was a beauty, and fortunately I can make a cream soup. The lady had arranged an easy dinner; she wanted me to stay be cause I was quick In the dining room. How could she know I had spent an hour hunting a recipe for the tapioca pudding, which In the end was served underdone? While they were eating the pudding 1 heard Mr. Janes say: "Where in the world did you get her?" and listened while his wife' pleaded: "Now, dear, don't you like her?" "I don't care much for thla food. She's a decent enough looking girl," he an swered; then adding as an afterthought, "Don't you think she look pretty poor?" "Yes, I do think her clothes are shabby, but perhaps I can fix that up later. Poor things! You never carl tell what they've been through!" That was Mrs. Janes' sympathetic understanding of me. "You're paying her enough she ought to look. well dressed, I should think," Mr. Janes asserted with an air of finality. With 15 a week and half of It for room rent, It Is so easy for a girl to be wen dressed! Tha laundresa left the apartment at 6 o'clock without sprinkling the clothes. By the time I had cleared the table my bonea were aching from the unusual exercise.- , The dlah-washing waa done on will power. The rag came off my hand, which I had burned, and after ten min utes 'In hot' water the skin peeled, leaving it perfectly raw. While I was wiping the dishes ray hand stiffened and began to pain. I hurried all I could, fore-fear the family would want to go to bed, and by coining Into the kitchen discover how slow I was. Fortunately Mr. and Mrs. Janes forgot me and I managed to get through In time. The laundresa had given me particular orders about starching the collars and shirt bosoma. Never' having starched before, . how could I be expected to succeed? It wa cold starch, of courae, which means that one puts a quantity of It Into water and dips the clothe. I had no Idea ahat amount of starch to use, but mixed a aort of paste whtch I smeared over the collars. I made aeveral meaaes until finally the starch-box waa empty, anclI waa forced to scrape from my finished effort in order .0 make the paste go around. I had a vague memory about this sort of thing, but It was not .until the shirts had been rolled away all gummy that I came to the. conclusion the starch was too thick. By that time I was so tired I could not do It over, so I put on my hat In a frightened huddle and bolted the house for good.'
