The gasoline car haB so developed In the last two or three years that it has no terrors for the feminine enthusiast and it is easy for a woman to handle the largest of the touring machines. drivers who were unable to get Into the picture: Mrs. Samuel Burns, Jr., Miss Anne Blotcky, Mrs. A.

Mrs. John J. Pryor, Miss Harriet Flack. There are In tho list a number of women who do much more than sim ply handle tho steering wheel on their cars. They are able to locate faults in the operation of their cars and cor rect them if necessary. They are able to demount a rim and set a tire In motor is not working properly thoy know why. A novel feature of this big collec tion of Omaha women, all driving the same make ot car, Is that they aro all real motor enthuslsasts and would not for a minute believe they could do without their automobiles. They drive down town for their shopping, mako their calls and tako their vacation 'rips in their car;. A number of them nave big distance records to their rodlt and think nothing ot motoring to Des Moines, Chicago or Denver. To them a motor car is a necessity, but they got a good doal ot ploasure in tho oporation of their machinos. Electric startors, improved gears, electric lights, quick demountable rims, and other lato improvements and accessories have raario the oper ation of a motor car easy and a wo man is as much at homo at the steer ing wheel as her husband or brothor. It UBod to bo that husband or brother had to get out and crank the motor for tho fair driver, and at night, man ipulate tho gas lights. Now the wo man mounts her car, starts tho motor with a touch of tho finger and with anothor touch turns on her entire lighting BYBtom. She haB boforo her tho gauges to show hor how her car Is running and has full control of tho machine within easy reach of olthor hand. These Omaha women know their cars thoroughly and they are prons to gather in small groups at their club and talk automobile by tho hour aB do men who drive, They know all about transmissions, carburetors, magnoto and Ignition and when It is necessary can discourse Intelligently on those subjects. Modern motor cat methods have mado this possible and Omaha women are taking full ad vantage of the pleasures offered by ownership of an automobile. What Women Are Doing in the World HE county and state conven- Tg I tlons of the Women'n Chrls I j tlan Temperance union, which A I will V, UIA idthU 1. . Till ksu I1VIU ITtluiil UIV UCAt few weeks, will be an In centive for much work among the local members, and many are planning to attend both meetings. The county convention will be held Thursday of this week In Valley. Mrs. O. W. Whltmore. president of the Doug las county society, was In the city last week and said that every effort was be ing made to make the county convention most successful. The state convention will be held In Fremont Tuesday, Sep tember 23, and many of the local unions will hold their meetings this week to elect delegates. Many of the suffrage societies have decided to postpone the meetings until the cooler days come and are also waiting for the lower tempera ture before starting the campaign to get signatures to their petitions. Mrs; F. H. Cole, ex-president of the state federation and ex-presldent ot the Omaha Woman's club, returned Friday from a trip of several weeks in Europe. While in London Mrs. Cole acquired many new Ideas for her work along the lines of civil service. Mrs. F. H. Hal lr, a member ot the civil service com mittee of the' local club, took the trip with Mrs. Cole. Mrs. A. B. Somers, an other ex-presldent of the Woman's club, was another member of the party. The General Federation of Woman's club has issued a bulletin pertaining to the work of tho coming year. The fed eration has a goodly number of members In Omaha who will be Interested to read the following: Tho activities of woman's clubs, for the most part suspended during the sum mer months, are resumed with fresh enthusiasm In September and October. Club year books are beginning to be in evidence again, and president's day, which marks the opening of the club year and la a Joyous reunion, is now be ing carefully planned for by those In The fact that the club year coincides practically with the school year brings Into special prominence at this season the work of the educational department ot the general federation. The chairman, Mrs. O. Shepard Barnum ot Las Angeles, Cat., has long been deeply interested In the training of the young, and Is ably assisted In the work of her department by some of the foremost women of tho federation. The activities of the educa tional department are divided among four committees, with chairmen as fol lows: Peace, Mrs. Joslah Evans Cowles of California; political science, Miss Helen Varlck Boswell of New York; bo clal hygiene, Mrs. M. W. Barry of Texas, and vocational training and guidance, Mrs. C. P. Barnea of Missouri. The political science 'committee was created In response to a steadily grow ing Interest among -women In questions ot government, local, state and national, and Its effort Is directed towards prepar ation for citizenship. In view of the statement frequently maao mat soutnem women are less concerned In public af fairs than tho women ot the north. It Is Interesting to note that this committee has had proportionately more calls for help from the south than from the north ern states. Realizing the need of a carefully trained corps of teachers to present the subject of sex hygiene, the educational depart ment urges clubs everywnere to agitate this phase of the subject and to help In securing such training In all normal schools and colleges. This department also earnestly Insists that local school conditions be studied by clubs, especially In relation to voca tional and Industrial training and guid ance, and that every possible effort be put forth to secure the passage of the Page bill by the federal congress. Next to the home, nothing appeals so strongly to the women of the clubs as the public school, which they Insist upon regarding as an adjunct to the home In the training for citizenship and life, li Joslah Strong, president ot the American Institute for Social Strvlce, Is correct In his estimate of the potency ot the Gen eral Federation of Women's clubs, the work of its educational department must be of far-reaching and Incalculable ef fect on the future of the republic. Dr. Strong says: "Except In the United States congress I know ot no body ot men or women representing so much ot Intellect and heart, so much of culture and Influence, and so many ot the highest hopes and noblest possibilities of the American peo ple as the General Federation of Wom en's clubs." The Frances Wlllard union ot the Woman's Christian Temperance union will meet Wednesday at the pavilion in Han scom park at 2 o'clock. The appoint, ments for the superintendents for the coming year will be made at this time. Delegates will be elected to the state convention which will be held In Fre mont September 23. The Benson union of the Woman's Christian Temperance union held its an nual meeting last week and the follow ing officers were elected for the uom'ng year: President. Mrs. Harmon Hawkins, vice president. Mrs. M. C. Berry; treas urer, Mrs. Robert Faussett; recording secretary. V. 8. Wedge; E. J. Whistler, corresponding secretary. The chairman Boss of the Press Room Puts One Across on the "Boys" Willie the executive committee rep resenting their many friends was busily engaged In contriving a largo number ot stunts to perform at their expense, George V. Chandler, foreman of Tho Bee. press room', and Miss Katherine Atwood of Carroll, la., mode a flying trip to Judge Altstadt's office about 8:30 lost night and had the knot tied that mado them man and wife. When Chandler an nounced that he was engaged to Miss Atwood his friends and business, associ ates got together and planned lo give tho couple a rousing reception wien the nUptuols were completed. ' Some little comment was expressed at the absence of the "boss" last night when preparations were made for the big Bun day runs, but It was thought he would be on before the first edition was to go to press. But Chandler did not appear. Everybody became suspicious. Chandler had announced that the mar riage would take place Monday night and ho 4iad Invited everyone to be present, therefore It could not bo possible that he had deceived them. In addition, he had related long and embellished tales about tho celebration he was to give after the ceremonies. It Just could not be possible that they had been unsophisticated enough to be tricked so easily as that But one of the pressmen, who was ac quainted with the haunts ot the "boss," was sent out on a still hunt. The press man vlsted every place he knew of, but he could find no trace ot Chandler, who by this time had been married some hours. Eventually the pressman returned to his work and when he arrived In the press room he discovered the benedict all decked out In a long frock coat, a top hat and a pink carnation In his button hole. And he was as yet unharmed. The pressman promptly emitted a deathly gurgle and sank to the floor exhausted. All tho plans had gone astray and the eats, et cetera, which were to be pro vided Monday night were now merely an hallucination.

Congratula tions were given and Chandler assured the boys he would give them the spread anyhow. of the several committees are Mrs. Stevens, Mrs. M. C. Berry, Mrs. R. E. Bosworth and Mrs. B. Beatley. The West Side union of the Woman's Christian Temperance union will meet Wednesday at the home of Mrs. B. E. Ganz, 4613 Mason street. Delegates to the state convenysn will bt sleeted at this time and all members are requested to attend. The Benson Woman's club will hold Its first meeting ot the year Thursday at the home of Mrs. E, A. Mason. The club will study the countries this year and Scotland will be the subject of the first program. The Presbyterian churches of Nebraska, as well as many other states, have ten tatively agreed to adopt what Is known as tho every-member plan ot financial management, the chief point of which Is to make a clean-up of all financial can vassing for local and missionary ex penses In the month of Mnrrh each year. A conference of representative Pres byterians from many states and sections was held during the week at Chicago, where such action was agreed to, and will become operative when approved by the various synods upon recommendation of those at this conference. Nebraska was represented by Rev. D. E. Jenkins, D. D., of tho Omaha Theo logical seminary, and Rev. Nathaniel McGlffln, D. D., pastqr of Lowf Avenue church, Omaha. Nebraska has been active In urging this plan. It has set the pace tor the Presbyterians In other states in what Is known as the "Nebraska plan" for providing home missionary funds, and Dr. Mcaiffln, as the synod's chairman on home missions, has had most to do with putting this plan Into form. It has already been adopted by the New England synods and Is pendlrt; upon recommendation beforo the synod of New York state. But the every-member proposition Is the one now being pushed. The Pres byterians say it will be urged on every state or synod In the country. The plan Is simply to get every church member to subscribe his and her portion to the budget ot expenses, local and otherwise, and have the whole canvass begun and completed In March. "This Is urged simply because it Is good business," says Dr. McGlffln, "and the church needs more goad business as a boon to good religion. It ought to be an Inspiration to know that every church of the denomination In the United States was clearing up its finances for the en tire year In the same month. March is selected because It Is usually the last month ot the church year," Muiscal Notes Key to the Situation Bt Advertising. Two musical events are to take place In Omaha this coming Thursday, thus opening tho season early In spite of tho long spell of hot weather. Mr. Walter B. Graham will present Miss Gertrude Aiken In song recital at the Young Women's Christian association auditor ium Thursday, September 11, at 8:15 p. m. Miss Aiken was graduated from the high school this year, and was one of the successful contestants for a musical number on the program. She Is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. J. M, Aiken, and her mother Is president ot the Young Women's Christian association. Miss Aiken leaves for the girls' school at Rock ford, III., September 18, so it wilt be some time before sho will be heard In Omaha again. She will be assisted by Miss Ora Ogle and Miss Esther Frlcke, and the program Is Interesting. The same evening, Miss Mae Bourno will give a piano recital, assisted by John Gregory Jamleson, basso cantante, at Mr. Jean G. Jones' studio, 1801 Far nam street. The program Is made up mostly of works by modern composers. Persons Interested are cordially Invited.

The Omaha Symphony Study orchestra, under the direction of Henry Cox will begin its fourth season's rehearsals this week. The history of orchestral litera ture will be studied this year. Ad Olub Plans Big Frog Legs Dinner A frog leg dinner is In store for the hundred or more members ot the Omaha Ad club some day the latter part of September. The exact date has not yet been arranged and all plans have not been made. These depend on when Presi dent William Woodhead of the Assoc), ated Ad Clubs of America lands In Omaha, for It Is In his honor that the dinner la contemplated. Word has been received by the local ad club from Presi dent Woodhead that he will bo In Chi cago September 20 and that he expects to visit the Omaha Ad club either on his trip to Chicago on his return to the coast. Nothing Is top good for the president, think the local men, and so nothing but frogs legs goes.
