TO the clone observer of fashion in this community, the gathering of garments in this
store will immediately impress the fact that "authority" and "lowest prices" are not
merely an assumption.
AMERICAN resourcefulness and adaptability have done wonders to meet the demand for '
fashions that have been so largely supplied by Europe, but the strain has been sudden.
Merchandise never was so hard to get.
HERE is an indisputable fact that will cause this institution to stand ont stronger than
ever this year: Preparedness, constant and concentrated effort of this nnequaled buying
organization and the inducement of ready cash have brought to Brandeis Stores and Omaha
greater stocks, greater variety, greater advantages in price, than any other store in the land.
-The leadership of Brandeis Stores is unchallengeable.

Superintendent Schreiber and At
torney Mcdulre of the Welfare board
are working on an ordinance which
will provide for effective and expe
ditious handling of non-support
caaea. It la proposed to Invoke this
reasure only when moral suasion
fulls. The plan will be submitted to
the board next Monday evening for
approval and then the ordinance will
go to the city council for passage.
The main purpose of the ordinance
will be to give the city authority to I
handle these cases through the po
lice court and workhouse when ar
rests are made.
Mr. Schreiber gave this explanation of
hie plan: "When complaints are made by
wives, charring nonsupport, we propose
te call the husbands as well as the wlvet
before us and give an Impartial hearing
to both sides. As a rule such difficulties
are caused by minor misunderstandings
or domestic Jnrs which need readjust
ment. My experience has been that most
oases ean be satisfactorily adjusted out of
eourt and It will be our aim to straighten
these tanglee without oourt procedure.
Xflaa l.latea lltasra,
Tn the ease where a hasbend is not
amenable to reason and will not do. the
right thing after we have heard all of
the facta, an arrest will be mado. As a
rule the arrest changes the mental atti
tude of the husband. After arrest we wilt
provide that if the husband shows a dis
position to mend his ways he wil be
paroled to a responsible person. If, after
arrest, the husbehd still maintains a de
fiant attitude, he will be sentenced to the
workhouse. It la my contention that
when these husbands are sentenced te
the workhouse provision should bs mads
foe allowlna the dependent family a
weekly, allowance."
anan has complained to the welfare 1
hoard atttblnet the husband of his daugh
ter, hla story being that the daughter and
11-year-old child have been thrust upon
him for support for two winters wnue
the husband lives with bis mother.

faction to the Wearer
To be among the first to wear the new styles is not alone the satisfaction of pride in being
first, but in these days of short seasons one really derives the greatest benefit from wearing
while the "newness" is new.
Itight now we are showing a new lot of spring suits that just came from the design
er's hands, which sparkle with touches of artistic tailoring not previously shown and a
most attractive feature is the extremely low prices.
Irj this group will be found all the new styles in jackets, from the short boxy Eton
style, to the semi-fitted flare effects and the Norfolks. Attractive are the self-toned
embroideries and braids, strapping and buttons; smart collars and cuffs of contrasting
shades of silk.
Smart new gabardines, serges and poplins in a great variety of shades, navy, Copen
hagen, gray, tan and shepherd plaids, and also black.
By all means you should see these suits priced at
