B TIIE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JULY 2$, 1012. .1 What t Women Are . Doing in the World Mrs. F. H. Cole is the first of the Omaha women who attended the biennial convention of the General Federation of Women's clubs in San Francisco, to re turn. Mrs. C. W. Hayes, Mrs. M. D. Cameron, Mrs. Ed Phalen, delegates of the Omaha Woman's club, are still trav eling In the west. One of the first questions asked of Mrs. Cole by those who stayed at home is "What do you think of the General Fed eration turning down woman suffrage?" ''I think It was much wiser to keep the resolution from the house than It would have been to allow the vote upon woman suffrage," said Mrs. Cole. "I believe , that what was done with regard to the suffrage resolution , was entirely right, namely, to postpone action until the bien nial of 1914, and meanwhile to study city, state and federal government. 'The women are not' now ready for suf frage; they do not realize what it will mean. After studying government In their clubs for the next two years they will be mbre fitted to take action upon ?There are other reasons why the fed eration should not have endorsed woman suffrage. If the eleates had taken Aft- tiin on woman nffrage out in California where the suffrage element is so strong, It would have been unfair to those at home whom they were sent to represent and -who, many of them, do not favor suffrage for women. "And, too, another argument aaralnst taking up the resolution: Why should the ueneral Federation endorse woman suf frage any more than it endorses temper ance or any other movement for a princi ple? There are societies and unions for the purpose of promoting special move ments of that kind." Mrs. Cole believes in restricted suffrage; she believes that the restriction should be with, regard to education and property holding, however, and not to sex. Missionary day; one of the. red letter days of the National Christian Temper ance union, will be celebrated Wednesday by the Frances Willard union at the home of Mrs. Samuel M. Maxwell, 525 South Twenty-fifth" street. - The Omaha Woman Suffrage society will be entertained at a picnic by Mrs. S. -A.Tapen and Mrs. K. R. Hartwick, August 7, In Hanscora park. Suffrage pictures will be shown at the Suburban theater next Tuesday after noon and evening. Miss Doris Stevens will give a suffrage talk preceding the movies - The- North Side Mothers' club will have a picnic Wednesday in Miller park. The husbands will be invited. The only district meeting of the Ne braska Federation of Women's clubs which will take place next fall will be that of the Fifth district at Hastings early in October. The other district meetings come later In the season. Tho executive board of the state federation will probably meet at the time of the Hastings convention. The Woman's Journal says that this year's National Woman Suffrage con vention will be held in Philadelphia at the Jnvjtatlon of the " Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage association. The dates settled upon are November 21 to 26, in clusive. "This year's convention will be unique in one very interesting particular, namely that the Pennsylvania suffragists have offered to furnish private entertainment for all the delegates who may attend, a bit of generosity which will enormously decrease the expenses for many dele gates, especially those Who have to cross the continent to come. "The program committee, which con sists of Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, Mrs. Robert La Follette, Miss Breckenridge. Miss Mary Ingham and Mrs. Dennett, has endeavored to allows more space on this year's program for business ses sions than previously. It was felt both at Washington and at Louisville that there was not enough time for the dis cussion of policy and plans for the next year's work. There will be several distinctive fea tures in the Philadelphia program-a suffrage shop,' a men's evening, a pro cession, a thanksgiving service and a banquet, and most important of all five victories to celebrate." Mrs. Clifford Calkins was elected presi dent of the Alumnae chapter of Kappa Gamma sorority at the annual meeting Friday. She was formerly Miss Helen Sholes of Omaha and attended the Uni versity of Nebraska. Since her marriage she has resided In Missoula, Mont, but she and Mr. Calkins have come to Omaha to live.. Miss Nan Cunningham was elected secretary and treasurer of Kappa Alumnae.. Three new members joined They are, Mrs. William J. Hutts of Sioux City, who attended the University of Iowa; Mrs. Frank Parker, Kansas City, who attended the University of Kansas, and Mrs, Stevens of Northwestern.

Sore Feet: Bad Health - "inr.njuinnnn Lillian Russell is a , physical wonder. N.ow In mature years, but having pre served the fresh beauty of youth. In the Chicago Tribune she says: "Care of the feet, hardest worked members of me oody, is abso lutely essential to health. Irritation from sore feet oft en causes serious nervous disorders, and nothing brings face wrinkles quicker." Here is the best treatment known to science fnr all fnnt ments. It works through tho nnru mil removes the cause: "Dissolve two table spoonfuls of Calocide - compound in a basin of warm water. Soak the feet in this for full fifteen minutes, gently rub bing the sore parts." The effect is mag ical. All soreness disappears instantly. Corns and callouses can be peeled right off It gives instant relief for bunions, aching and sweaty, smelly feet Any druggist has Calocide in bis stock or will quickly get it from his wholesale house.

RINGLING BROTHERS' JESTERS OF WORLD-WIDE REPUTATION Fifty of the world's best and merriest clowns are largely responsible for the attractiveness of the program which Ringling Bros.' World's Greatest Shows are offering this year. There Is not a moment during the three hours the doors are open that the audience is not laugh ing at some droll stunt or funny antlo of the great army of comedians. Most of these gay sky-larkers are from Europe. They are from the comic opera companies of Paris and Berlin, the panto mimes of famous Drury Lane, from the courts of eastern potentates and from our own vaudeville and musical comedy stages. This is the circus that for a quarter of a century has originated the best there Is In clowning. It is funnier than ever this year. The man who at tends one of its performances and does not come away with a more hopeful focus on life had better see an undertaker. Foremost among the comedians is Al Mtaco. He was the original Humpty Dumpty. Though nearly 60 years old, he is still the leader of all the world's panto mimlsts and harlequins. His name is that of an illustrious family of comedians. There is also Jules Tumour, the best of all French mimics. Jules Is the subject of an intensely interesting biographical story written by Isaac F. Marcosson, the magazine editor and author. He has clowned in every civilized country on earth. Kings and queens, diplomats and professors have laughed at him. He is the delight of the children. George Hartzell is another of the clowns. The magazines all over the country have de voted pages to his clever work. Still an other Is James Spriggs, the clown police man. He is what is known as a "free lance," working independently of the others. Laughter follows in his train wherever he goes. Among the trained animal features will be found many acts that entertain and amuse, particularly Captain Huling's two troupes of trained seals, and three new herds of elephants. A company of per forming horses from the Schuman Ger man circus do many astonishing things. The acrobats, gymnasts, aerlallsts and riders are the picked talent of the world. The morning parade Is completely new throughout and the menagerie has had many wonderful additions. The show will be seen In this city on Friday, August 9, and the downtown ticket sale will be conducted in Myors Dlilon Drug company's store. The regular performance opens with a gorgeous wordless spectacle "Joan of Aro"--produced at a cost of $500,000 and employing 1,200 persons, 600 horses, a ballet of 300 dancing girls and a tralnload j of special scenery and stage properties, j J BATHING ATTRACTS CROWDS TO COURTLAND BEACH Courtland Beach, on the lake front, is attracting - large crowds. Cool breezes offer relief from the heat and make en joyable outdoor amusements. Shaded lawns invite picnic parties, and the vari ous contrivances for entertainment as sure all a good outing. The sand bot tom beach is a big splash much of the time. That bathing is the most healthful and refreshing exercise is evidenced by its popularity. Boating Is a rival sport, and good rowboats or pleasant launches are provided. There is good music and a fine large floor for those ,who like to dance.' Roller coaster, carry-us-all and the whirl are thrillers. Free moving pictures are shown near the shore of the lake and enough seats are furnished to accommodate the many spectators.
