THE TIKE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, NOVEMHEK 23, 1015,
By MELLIFICIA.
IT has been almost a years since the cry of "hoops, my dear," was first
beard.
The single hoop has repeatedly appeared in Omaha since then.
But now the IntelUrence comes that the boopskirt Is flourishing In
Lincoln, and separata hoop fonndatlons are in the shop windows and sell
ing briskly. The women hire called them "the dearest th'ngs."
We have all seen the ugly constructions hidden away in attics and
looked over the Illustration of advertisements In Harper's Weeklies. In
fact, this generation of femininity started life with strong prejudices against
hoops and a determination that no tyrant fashion would ever force the
mode upon u.
The hoops have accomplished a crafty entry Into 1915 fashions. They
do not look like the horrors we have seen of them In the past. Instead,
they-are of flexible reeds set in net foundation asd covered with soft net
puffing.
Our grandmothers have told of the beautiful young lady who was
killed by the train because her hoopsltirts caught on the track. They
caught on the fences, too, and lovely maidens were gored to death while
trying to take short cuts across pasture:!. They also caught on the stairs
and pretty necks were broken.
But there Is quite another story out In Lincoln since the hoops bare
appeared in the shop windows.
Listen a girl was saved from death by lightning In Nebraska City
thirty-seven years sgo because she was wearing a continuously wired hoop-
skirt. It was a portable, Individual
dealing current safely to the earth.
If they do appear in Omaha, we
to their credit.

SUNDAY CLOSING
QUESTION IS UP
Some Grocers and Meat Dealers Peti
tion City Council for an
Ordinance.
MAY RELY ON THE STATE LAW
Is Omaha to have another Sunday
closing campaign?
A group of grocers and meat mar
ket men petitioned the city council
to pass an ordinance which would
prohibit the sale of groceries and
meats on Sunday.
The committee of the whole of the
city council took the matter up and
the consensus of opinion was that
these merchants should be able to
regulate their business without an
ordinance.
Cominlcxinrx-r Jardlne declared his be
lief that such an ordinance would be
class legislation. Mayor tJahlman spoke
against the pasngo of the pmpoacd ordi
nance.
The ordinance was referred to the city
legal department for recommendation as
to the state law on the subject.
There la a difference of opinion as to
whether the ordinance would be clues Irg
lalation within the meaning the state
laws. A state statute provldea that no
work shall be done on Punday, excep
tions being made for works of "neces
sity and charity;" also for operatlona of
railroads, ferry boats and a few other
activities.
About eight years ago Omaha went
through a Sunday closing upheaval. The
arrest of a cigar dealer waa made a teat
case and trie supreme court of the state
sustained the cm victim of that dealer
for being open on Sunday, relates the
city attorney.
It Is hinted that in the event the city
council derlln ng to raw the proposed
grocery and meat market orllnances, an
effort will be made to Invoke strict ob
servance of the state law on Sunday
labor.

If ever there was activity around a

the Oayety theater. The occasion of the
strife Is the fact that the theater man

IT:..
Keveral autoa have been given away In
. Omaha In the past, but In each case tho
method of disposing of them was styled
as a "popularity contest," which In
short order resolved Itself Into a raco
between from four to six con,tetnts,
j the general public soon losing slqht and
' Interest In the affair. But, as Is cus
tomary at that theater, the Gayety will
dispose of Its car In an entirely differ
ent manner.
The car was procured from the Noyes
Kllly Motor company th's week, and that
concern announces that to whomever the
car is awarded. It will extend the same
courtesy In the matter of acquainting
tho new owner Just how to operate It
as though he or she had handed their
company $786 cash for It.
That there may be no claim of favor
itism or any other unkind statements
covering the award of the car. Its dla
poHBl will be left entirely In the hands
of the following committee: G. R.

of the Newa and Ralph Poud of tho

During this present week that the con

METAL PENCIL CAP
IN LUNG OF GIRL
X-Ray Photograph Reveals Trouble
After Doctors Are Battled ior
Last Tour Years.
GOES EAST FOR OPERATION
After four years ot treatment for
supposed tuberculosis and other lung
trouble, little Sophie Passovoy, 8-year-old
daughter of M. Passovoy,
janitor of Temple Israel. Is now on
her way east for an operation to re
move a metal pencil cap from her
tungs.
Unknown to her parents, the child had
evidently Inhaled the cap, or had accl-
1 dentally allowed It to get Into the wlnd
' pipe while playing with a pencil In her
mouth. When the results of the metal
I substance lodging In the lung began ts
! affect her health, a foreign body In tho
j lungs waa not thought of by the phy
! rlclan who was called, and the child was
! treated first for pleurisy, pneumoni i
bronchitis and other lung affections.
Later, when treatment availed nothing
and the child g'ew woise, the doctors
concluded she had tuberculosis.
tinea to Lnnsi Specialist.
Only recently, Drs. Goets and Pratt,
who were called In the case, begun to
suspect that the trouble might be due
to a foreign substance In the lungs. To
settle the matter, an X-ray photograph t
was taken of little Soplilo and the doc- I
tora' Idea was substantiated. When Dr.
Jonas was asked to operate to save the
child's life, he pronounced the casa so '
grave that a lung specialist's services
were advised.
So now little Sophie is on her way with j
Dr. Pratt to Pittsburgh, where she wi'l
be treated and later be operated on by
Dr. Chevalier Jackson, whoae speialty
is cases 'of children and grown-ups un- .
fortunate enough to get things lodged
In the lungs. Dr. Jonss says that Dr.
Jackson is the only American surgeon '
who successfully attempts such tntrlcste

Omaha girl is quite sure of ultimate re-!
covery it under bis care.
Sophie's parents live at 6T.44 Allison
