NEEDLES FLYFOR THE NEEDY
Hundreds of "Women Sew for -the
,' Tornado Victims.
FINE FEATURE' OJ? RELIEF WORK
Garment Urgently Iteqnircd Hade'
and - Delivered In Utmost'. 8e
' crecy Ajnonc 'Those Who
t Had 'to Have Help.
Women - of Omaha answered the call
ot tho - suffering and tho needy. Tho one
groat cause tho welfare of humanity
has been Uppermost In their thoughts.
Whether from the aristocratic homes of
the city or tho dwellings of the laborers
it matters not, for each and all havo
had friends who were victims of the tor
nado of Faster Sunday. It Is for tho peo
ple who have lost -their homes, tho chil
dren their clothes and all they possessed,
that Omaha women have spent not only
hours, hut days, In making garments for
-entire families, Thoy havo assumed the
responsibility of olothlng the day-old
baby, - tho mother, tho father, the boys
and girls and the, young men and women,
who were "listed among those whoso
homos were destroyed.
The mother, jgftio has bad the spring
sowln tai do for her small family, will
never look upon' it as a task again, If she
has-ajsolsted In providing the needy -dur-lng'-'thekkS't
week. To make nix little
dreasea for the little daughter would or
dinarily have been' quite a task for the
mother-a month ago, but tho necessity ot
six doieh has made the first number seem
as n mere nothing- at tho present time. To
make two dosen Bleeping garments in
two days "has been a common 'occurrence
during this "sewing bee."
No Caste In the Work.
At tho different ohurcnes women have'
gathered in' the-parlors each day and gar
ments hy the wholesale have been mode
In a'fovr hours. In many coses a woman
would hear that they were sewing- 'at a
certain church, that day and 'Would stop
in to soy that she had a few hours and
.vras there any work she could do to help
during that timer1' Woman beside woman,
not knowing the name nor tho station In
life of her neighbor, has put together
every article of clothing which is worn.
In some of tho big shops where the power
machines are used, girls who onco
worked them and havo since married,
returned to onco again uuldo pieces of
cloth through tho powerful machines to
assist in giving to tho relief work. Where
they have not spent their tlmo sewing.
they have gone to the homes with the
bundles, that tho clothing might reach
tho people in need ot It Tho wujeked
homes were not those of people. used to
gifts ot this kind, and the occupants have
been backward about accepting them. In
place -of going to the relief station and
saying that they were In need of clothing,
the mother and father, with their small
family, have waited to bo found.
Worlc Required Tnat.
The women have used a great deal ot
tact in handling thee caijs, and never
has a confidence been betrayed when they
havo given thotr bundles and returned to
hasten to another family whose homo Is
gOne and arts- sheltered by four walls of
another house. Tho secret ot the giving
has been most sacred to them and noth
ing can induce them to tell the names ot
mo ones wnom tney nave assisted.
Women who have spent much of their
tlmo at afternoon bridge .affairs havo
Webster-Sunderland
Building, N. Corner
16th and Howard Streets
tuoked their needles and thimbles into
their pockets and may bo found in many
of th'o ohurehea sewing. In no instance
has a woman been asked to assist H
has been almost impossible to give Work
to all who havo called at the dlKerent
relief stations throughout tho storm dis
trict Some havo watted tho chanco to
asslit at those places, but in most cases
they havo jrono out to tho path of tho
tornado and dlscovorcd some destitute
case.
Jlcndtiuarters at Auditorium.
At tho Auditorium' the committee in
chargo of the relief work has purchased
scores of lots of cloth and hundred of
".spools of thread. These have been sent
to any society that has called for
material, and tho result ts that hundreds
of garments havo been made by the
women ot tho city for tho relict work,
Tho work of their homes has been
slighted In many instances that their
time might be pont doing this much
needed sewing. The, "women of the Mer
rJam hotel were nmong"tlie first to have
cloth sent from the Auditorium to them
and rut-tho result ninety garments wero
bundled to tho contral relief station and
were the first completed garments from
tho now material to arrive for tho
sufferers. Among those who assisted at
this hotel wero .Mrs. Ackorman, Mrs.
Hutchlns, Miss Morrow, Mrs. Cloud, Mrs.
Woodruff, Mrs. Bowers, Mrs. Thompson,
Mrs. rttcrbnek and Mrs. Hale.
Nearly every aid society of the dif
ferent churches has been sewing- In this
way and tho piles of newly finished gar
ments at the Auditorium wnlting- to bo
sent out arc- monuments to tho women
who have not Hparcd themselves In any
way.
Nurses on the Joli.
Tho Visiting' Nurse association of tho
city has assisted greatly in this work.
Not only has tho -society aided in the
tewing, hut also In the nursing of the
injured. It has been a common sight to
see a -visiting nurse stop nt several
doors whore sho thought- there mlsht be
an injured pernon and 'ask If she' could
do anything for them. The miles these
women have walked have been many, as
It was Impossible to cover the territory
iri any other way. Those who havo auto
mobiles have been most urgent that they
bo used for tho relief work. Tho hand
some limousine or touring car, carrying
provisions to tho needy with a woman In
tho front seat to see that tho proper
destination is reached Jiaa been one of
th'o features of the relief work. Miss
Loulso "McPhcrson, Mrs, P. a Morlarty,
Mrs. Victor Rosewater. Mrs. Herbert
Rosrers, Miss Jessie Millard, Mrs, James1
Daniman. Mrs. N. P, Foil and many
Others of this organisation assisted with
tho Wjork in tho Auditorium.
About fifty members of tho Omaha
Woman's club wero In constant attend
ance at the Auditorium. Mrs. C. W.
Hayes- president of tho Cluh. tiaa tint
missed a day sinoo tho first day tho relief
wotk started in working at this place.
Church Societies Active.
Tho Ladies' Aid society of tho Ftrst
Presbyterian church 'had meetings each
day in tho church parlors, and under tho
direction of Mrs. G. L. Bradley, Mrs. Wa-
than Merrlam and, Mrs. Bdwlt Hart
Jenks they havo made hundreds of gar

Difficulties of the Worlc
(Besides working with tho relief so

sought those who are too proud or too
modest to come to tho stations. Thto
are tho difficult ones to help, but rtten

manner tho help Is accepted. Most or

From the early hours of the morning un
til bedtime they were busy looking- up
families whose homes wero destroyed and
either taking them to shelter or DrinB'
Ing it to them.
At Relief Station.
The relief station at Fortieth and Far
nnm streets had equally as many earnest
Workers. Many of theae women havo
their own cars and while they assisted
with tho- work at the station and In aid
ing others In locating families who needed
help they gave Instructions to tho drivers
to aid any pnraon who noeded them. In
many cases the women were among those
whose hornet suffered damage in the
storm, and It has been among theae
women that tho greatest generosity and
thoughtfulnees has- been shown. They
seem to appreciate Just what tho relief
work means more than the moro for
tunate who wero not in tho storm dis
trict." Tho women "of tho Eastern Star lodge
are llctqd among- tho very earnest work
ers, and nearly 200 members have, given
their time to aiding In the making of the
clothing for Teller work.
Tho women of Dundee 'jad sewing ma

nearly thirty women have gathered to do

Hundreds ot women who have not

afternoon and during that time tho
stitches .have been on garments for tho
relief work. "The better the day tho bet
