Holllster Kline, manager ot the Omaha, Salvation Army Industrial home, and his foreman were standing on the lone freight receiving platform of the newly finished Salvation ArmyJn dustrfal home, located In the Old Model Laundry building at 1110-1112 East Dodge street when a wagon heavily laden with household furniture In charge of two men drove up and 'proceeded to deposit Its burden. The latter consisted of an Iron bed, mattress, springs, a dining room table, some chairs and a cook stove. No sooner had the load been deposited than the" "wagon hastened to make way for another which brought a huge load of aid waste paper, together with several largebundlea of magazines. Instantly a number of men in response to a call by the foreman began unloadlnff this wagon and conveying the content! to the large storeroom reserved for this purpose, tho Waste paper to remain there until dropped through specially arranged chutes to the baling machine In the basement, whllo the magailnes were carefully assorted and put away until needed by the prisons and hospitals. The. whole transaction, occupying a few minutes, was conducted In a Bystematlo and efficient manner which bespoke the nillltary training and marked organising ability of tho chief. Oyportnnlty to Make Oood. For these men were derelicts In the oh rushing stream of Ufo and their ener geto conduct waa the effort to make cood with the man who was giving them an honorable opportunity to get on thatr icet again when all else in the world had seemingly been dented them. The captain's clear, gray eyes twinkled behind his glasses and he spoke a word of encouragement to his assistants. "You eee," he said, pointing to the in creasing pile of waste paper, "we put waste labor .on waste material and con- ,vrt It into a marketable "commodity.

A j woman's home burned down this sum- j mer and we gave her, without one cent of cost,' a complete outfit of furnttW. comprising carpets, bed, chairs, tables, a stoVo and all that waa needed to make her comfortable- Please bear in mind," he continued, "this was all accomplished with only limited facilities and accommodations. When I came here a year ago last August' there were accommodations for only five men. Now we keep eighteen to twenty five men constantly employed, at the present time using twenty men and five wagons. We give these men their room and board and outfit them with such clothing as they require, in addition to which we pay each of them frorn II to 8 & week. Our object is to keep them busly employed until thpy are able to fnd & situation elsewhere. They are made to be self supporting and yet no man ever came to my place In honest need and was. turned away. I believe that an ablebodled man should support himself or should bo taught how to, do so. I do not believe In Indiscriminate charity. I believe that charity, Ilka man, is sometimes blind, and frequently mis guided. I believe that to give money un thinkingly, to give It without considering how It is to be used, Instead of being for tho good of our fellow creatures, may often prove the greatesMnJury we could Inflict upon them. In short, I believe that charity which merely consists In giving Is an Idle indulgence often an idle vice. And I believe that a man should be permjtted and encouraged to work "for What Is offered him and thereby main tain his manly self respect. 'There are some who critic ze tha sal vation Army Industrial work for beirfg self supporting. It Is self supporting as a matter of deliberate policy. I do not admtrp dependent Institutions any more tnan I aam)re enronjeamy oepenaent indi viduals. After the necessary Initial equip ment and founding expenses has been mot, and when tn final, running" ordsr, the Industrial Homo In Omaha and in all other cities as well, will be, and Is, self supporting. It has cost in round figures the sum of $5,000 to put the Omaha Insti tution where It Is today. Of ths sum 8 bout 13,000 Is yet owing for equipment This home was not founded to meet the needs of today only, but waa planned (.0 fill all the requirements of the Greater Omaha of five and ten yews' hence, when the need for its ministrations will be vastly Increased. It is my special task to plan, organise and cstabtlsh such Insti tutions as this wherever the need seems ireatest, and Omaha, by reason of the plendld 'yromlae ,0f futuro growth was hosen by me as the site of one of these lomes. In Response to Demand. "The Industrial home In Omaha, how. evert" continued Captain-Kline, ''was not established for the benefit or tne salva tion Army, but In response to -an in sts'tent demand on us to take care qf the man who s down and out. We contlnu ally receive men from the various char (table organitattpna of the city and we give. tnr) needed aid. Judge Foster of the police court regularly turps men over to ui. only a few days ago a young man (roni out-of-town was robbed ot all his money, and being found wandering aim lessly about the streets was taken to the "olfce station' Upon hearing his story Judge Foster instead of placing; htn In ii cell sent him to me, and ye kept him until he wis able lorece!ve money from home for which ha bad written. When Ihe funds came he paid fqr his lodging1 and expressed appreciation ot the fact that we had kept him out of jail. I tell you no self-respecting man likes to be placed behind the bars, even it only for his own protection, and we spare many a man that humiliating experience." The captain laughed. "Why a short time ago," ha continued, "a boy about j years old came to Omaha with ISO tn his pocket to see tne sights, tie reu in with a chauffeur and the latter agreed to show him a chauffeur's verilon of the "Oreat White Way." With tho assistance of the chauffeur and two girls the young main succeeded in getting rid of his ISO in .short prder, and then the chauffeur had him ar retted for failure to pay a f20 taxi bill and he was taken before judge Foster. The judge didn't want to put the boy In Jail, so he sent him to me, and by giving hm wow to. ao no was nnauy able to get enough money together to square himself and at the same time was spared the stigma of a term tn prison. tmililnjc Watte paper. "Would you like to Inspect the place?" asKa me captain. "1 Know you are curious concerning the use we make ot all this old papermost visitors are. Come with me ana x win give a demonstration pf my Wjmark that we apply waste Jabor Ho then led the day to where man with r riko was pulling' scraps of paper out or a storage bin and dumping tt Into a chut which led down to the basement In the basement a man stood beside . largo baling machlnw and when a sufft dent quantity had been received he pro oeeded, to compress the loose material Into huge bales as high as his head and weighing about 700 pounds. The bale were wrapped in sacking, bound with heavy baling wire and placed In a stor age section of the basement ready to be delivered when needed. "This is one of the means whereby we succeed In making- the institution elf supporting." remarked Captain Klin. "From tha proceeds of the sale of this and ot other castoff articles we pay the wagea ot the men employed here, the rent, food and other necessary charges. During the first six months ot tho pres ent year we baled and aOld 15,079 pounds of paper, 7,81s pounds of old ras and S.G5S pounds ot excelsior. And this does not begin to measure the vast amount ot waste In the city ot Omaha. Do you know that enough waato material Is de strayed every year by the housewives and business concerns ot Omaha to feed, clothe and shelter an army of homeless yet worthy men Do you realise that enough value in old newspapers is burned in this city ev"ory twelve months to care for these men during tha hard days Of winter? Do you appreciate the fact that the presence of these men is an economic burden upon the whole mass of our cltU xenehlp and that this burden can be greatly lightened and practically removed by utilizing the various waste article of the household and mercantile concerns which customarily are thrown In th ash barrel or the flames? We hear complaint on every ido ot the high cost ot living, but we go right ahead and Ignore one ot the. Important leaks In our economic eye tern that helps to make tt so. For waste la a leak, an appalling drain on our na tional resources, and la pne of our great est national taxes. And every article ot clothing, every pound of paper, every bundle ot excelsior or old rags not utlllxed to the last shred is merely an addition to this tax which bears down upon us all. It the good people of this city only knew it, they could render a distinct economlo assistance to the -whole community by allowing this waste to be converted Into a commodity of value and thereby in come measure aid in solving the vor Increasing problem of unemployment that is begin ning to attract the attention of the most thoughtful statesmen of our times." Clothlnir Alt Sorted Oat. On the first floor of the spacious build ing we were conducted through the salesroom. Here, neatly hung on iron racks and coat hangers such as uptown stores display, was a varied assortment ot mens clothing, some of it new and all neatly cleaned and repaired. On com modious display shelves were doaens ot pairs of discarded shoes ranging In stylos from dainty eatln ballroom slippers for women to huge boots suited for the worklngmen. On a long counter was dls played white goods in wide variety which had been carefully clecned and all day long women and girls were turning them over and examining them as critically as their more fortunate sisters are in the habit ot doing in the large department stores. On a stand of shelves was a goodly assortment of books, not the least ot which was a law library ot no mean proportions. Arranged around the. room were beds, tables, chairs and othor homo hold furniture, while in an adjoining room were a number of cook stoves, heatlnit stoves, oil heaters and gas stoves. Stoves are in much demand at the present time and many poor people ar? enabled to seouro here needed household articles which would otherwise be beyond their scanty financial means. Anotlier room was p(led to, the celling with neatly folded overcoats and winter undorwear which Will prove all too meager for the de mand the frosty months wli exact.
