Activities of Various Organised

Teacher and parent discussed the problem
of th cost of graduation from the high
school and discussed It thoroughly at th
meeting of the Household Economic de
partment of the Woman' club yesterday
afternoon. As a result of the discussion,
ths department will co-operate with the
teachers to arrange for a mass meeting
of parents, both fathers and mothers, and
teachers, to be held at the Omaha High
school some time sfter the holidays.
Furthermore the department pledges It
self, through Its leader, Mrs. F. J. Burnett,
to work for the Introduction of a four
years' course in domestic science in th
high school currlculun. The discussion of
th high school expense, and more ex
plicitly graduation expenses, was at ths
pedal request of some of the mothers 'of
high school pupils. It was considered
from all points of view, that of the high
school girl Included) for there was present
a group of high school girls. Domestic
science entered the discussion as a possi
ble though not Immediate answer. It was
Introduced by Mlis Neva Turner, teacher
of domestic science at the high school. In
her talk Miss Turner emphasised the Im
portance of definlteness In planning and
urged that a possible way to check ex
pense was to keep definite account of what
la spent. The Americana, ahe thought,
neglected thla important faotor In suc
cessful living.
"The American Is possibly the shrewdest
figure on the world's stage. In his business.
He I also a most unselfish 'man. The
family needs more money to meet ex
penses; he earns more money. He exhibits
a tremendous energy In earning, but Is
too often stupid In his spending. I know
there I a tendency to say that the wife
Is responsible for the extravagance In
spending; that the man earns, the woman
spends. This may be true, Is, we'll say.
But if the man devoted even a part of the
attention he gives to earning to It spend
ing extravagance -would not prevail as It
does now. If he said deflntely, 'out down
this expense, or that,' It would be cut
down."
In her talk Miss Turner called attention
to, the lack of skilled workmen.
"At first when there 'was an Influx of
trained foreign workmen we did not feel
the lack of training In this country. The
newcomers did the work for us. But
now that these foreigners' children are be
ing educated In our schools In our ways
and growing up, we fiad that we've not
been fitting them to expert workmanship.
We are not training the hands, we are not
giving them the skilled finger of people
who know definitely and exactly how to
do things."
Nathan Bernstein and Mlas Josle Mo
Hugh of the Omaha High school faculty
presented the problem aa the teachers ses
It. The first linked It with America's prob
lem of maintaining Its democracy In spirit.
The other finding it a problem simply
solved by the parent, and their training
of the child to esteem the person more
than the clothes.
And ths club women considered th prob
lem from the parents' viewpoint, deciding
that It Is a problem.
The proposition of Inviting 100 men to be
come associate members of the Omaha
Fine Arts society la being considered by
that organ laatlorv' definite action ha not
yet been taken 'by the club, though, the
proposition was favorably discussed at the
meeting of the society yesterday morning
and placed In the handa of a committee
for thorough consideration.
The proposition la to permit 100 men to
become associate members of the organisa
tion. The fee for this membership would
be fS and the funda of the society would
be thereby tnrreased so that'll might b
possible to Institute a yearly art exhibit,
or art loan. The society would be able!
that Is. to bring to Omaha for exhibition
paintings from the larger art centere.
The active membership of the organisa
tion now Includes 125 of Omaha's prominent

crumbing them nor too
much liquid. Butter over
rach layer and a few tableapoonful
of cream poured In at the last are
enough.
The shallow earthenware dish that
holds not more than two layers of
oysters make a better scallop than
the deep, old-fashioned pudding dish.
If more than one panful I needed
there can be a second plateful In the
oven ready to be slipped Into the
silver rim.
Individual scallop dishes, or four
or five larger oyster shells filled with
oysters and covered with bread
crumbs and butter, are preferred by
many.
When one hag been made a present
of a barrel or keg of oysters do not
omit the opportunity to give an oyster
roast. Invite guest that you know
well; also make sure they eat oysters.
Make almost the entire gupper of
the bivalve. Grapefruit or bullion can
be served first. Have oysters roasted
in kitchen and brought In when the
shells have opened.
Before each plate have melted but
ter, an .oyster fork, salt and pepper,
and an oyster knife for opening the
shells.
As more oyster can be eatpn
roasted than any other way. allow a
liberal proportion for each guest.
Have on the table tabasco, horse
radish and lemon, though the ma
jority like drawn butter better than
any other dressing.
Serve with the oysters ' plenty of
thin buttered bresd. pepperslaw, small
Parker house rolls, and French fried
or Saratoga potatoes. Coffee can be
served with the supper or later.
Have a light salad, endive or crisp
lettuce with cheese breads. The des
sert after so filling a meal should
not be rich. Ginger or mint ice In
sherbet glasses Is refreshing.

a bit Ironical that these dainty vegetarians

sell at 30 cents apiece, dressed. The whole

Butter and eggs remain about the same
In price and are expected to do so until
after Christmas anyway. Therefore you

Ths Key I the Situation Bo Want Ada
ing large oysters raw at a woman's
luncheon. Most women prefer blue
point or cherry stone.
Raw oysters sre more palatable on
their own shell than on .handsome
oyster plates. They must be thor
oughly chilled, and preferably should
rest on a bed of shaved Ice.
The lniuon with raw oysters should
be cut fh quarters In the rind. Or in
the center 'of the shell circle have
half a lemon with the center partially
filled with horseradish.
It Is more fashionable now to serve
oyster cocktail In the shell with a
small slender glass of the satire In
the center of each plate.
Fried oysters for home use are
more dellcste when done In bread
crumbs than In cracker dust. They
should only be dipped once In the
egg and crumb, otherwise they are
too stiff and crusty. Butter Is a bet
ter frying medium than deep fat.
For creamed oysters do not cook
them too long In the mixture or they
will be tough. The edge should Just
Shrivel. These can be served In
ramesklna or pate shells, and they
are excellent when creamed In a
chafing dish.
Epicures do not like the flavor of
oysters destroyed with seasoning.
Sherry la occasionally used for some
of the mixtures, and a bit of onion
Is put In the milk for sauces, but
usually they need little more than
butter, salt and pepper.
When oysters are left over from
stews or creamed mixtures they can
be chopped and used as salad or
croquettes. For the former the eye
must be removed, sntl It la better to
do so for any rooking where the
whole oysler Is not essential.
The bacon that cornea ready sliced
In boxes Is convenient to use for
plKS In blanket (oysters wrapped In
a slice of bacon) when fried In a

made from oyster and mushrooms
cooked together with a rich white
sauce. ,

Engine Runs Wild
Into the Missouri
Pacific Station
Smashes Cars, but, Fortunately, No
One is Hurt Ahead of the
Rush Hour.
A Northwestern engine standing upon a
sidetrack at the roundhouse two miles
north of the Webster street depot,
started in a mysterious manner yesterday
afternoon at 5 o'clock, and running wild
down th main line at a speed estimated
at twenty-five miles an hour, crashed Into
a train of empty passenger coaches at the
depot with a Jar that shook the station,
badly wrecking the combination car at the
front of th train.
Had It not been fnr the bumping post,
which was all but demolished, the cars
would have been hurled Into the side of the
crowded waiting room. If the accident had
occurred half an hour later the coaches
would have been crowded with people, aa
the train was the Emerson local scheduled
to leave at 6:4V With the exception of the
engine the train was completely made up.
Prakeman Payne waa lh only person on
the train. He received no Injury worse
than a shaking up. Fir started In the
combination car from th stove, but It was
soon extinguished.
How the engln started Is a mystery.
Two engines Just in from Fremont were
being tsken Into the roundhouse by host
lers. No. 1277 wss left standing outside.
When the hostlers came out for K, th
engine wss not In sight. The first warn
ing wa one wired In by the operator at
th north yards, a mile from the depot,
stating that a wild engine had Jut pasued
him going at the rate of twenty-five or
thirty miles an hour. The men hi the
dispatcher's office rushed to the windows
Just In time to see the crash.
A coal heaver said he thought he saw a
man climb Into ti e cab a short time be
fore the engine started. Ppeclal Ofricer
Stewart Is working on the case.
"Engines have been known to start by
themselves." said Chief n'.spatoher Kor
dyce "Rteam might have leaked Into th
cylinder when the throttle was set Just
right. Altogether the affair came out
mighty luckily and wouldn't happen ao
fortunately one In many times."

Now that the time for coasting and other winter sports is at
hand, we want to speak a word of WARNING, with particular
reference to COASTING.
On all streets on which there are street car tracks, and on
all hills which cross or terminate on streets having street car
tracks, there is a CONSTANT DANGER to those indulging in the
