Housewives who read The Bee sre
all agog with interest in the an
nouncement of the new home eco
nomics department of the Woman's
section, to be in charge of Miss Irma
H. Gross of the Central Hgli school
domestic science faculty. 'vherever
progressive housekeepers congregate,
they are discussinsr this latest feature
of the up-to-date woman's page of
The Bee, and the initial appearance of
the new depaKment is ragerly
awaited. ''
The special training and fitness of.
Miss Gross to conduct such a depart
ment is a tact commented en by all
who knew this efficient young wom
an. Miss Gross is an Omaha prod
uct, an honor graduate of Central
high schoof, after which she took the
domestic science course at the Uni
versity of Chicago. Much of her
training here was- received under
Sophonisba Breckenridge, a woman
of national fame, and Marion Talbot,
whose textbooks are recognized as
among the best written on home eco
nomics subjects. Miss Gross supple
mented her own study by teaching
domestic science at the -University
Settlement, headed by Miss Mary Mc
Dowell. She has been rnnnirteri with
the local high school classes since her
return to Omaha.
Miss Gross is not the type of do
mestic science instructor who believes
that the modern woman is woefully
ignorant of housekcenins mnhnt
and that her mother, before her, was
equally unacquainted with sanitation,
food chemistry, food values and the
like.
Easier methods are what urnmn
need a systematizing of all their la
bor," says Miss Gross. "Women to-

day are doing their housework in the
most difficult manner, whereas their
household duties could be made in
finitely lighter." But the statement
that modern- women know nothing of
how to cook and manage their homes
is one that Miss Gross will not coun
tenance. Household administration,' the study
of expenditures, dietetics and nutri
tion are onlv a few nf thm tnhi.f
which Miss Gross will discuss in con
nection with her cookery topics. "
(From a surf Correipondvnt.)
Lincoln, Sept 16. (Special.) State
house employes, or at least some of
them, are facing a 5 per cent assess
ment for democratic campaign pur
poses, according to reliable rumors
emanating from those who are ob
jecting to so high an appreciation of
their services by the powers that be.
Officials of the departments do not
care to talk very much about the high
handed methods being used to make
them loosen ud. Some of them do not
object to paying a 10 per cent assess
ment on their own salaries, but they
say tnat they win not sand tor a 3
per cent assessment on the clerks
workng under them.
Republican state officials, which in
clude the state superintendent,, land
commissioner and the railway com
mission, emphatically stated to The
Bee that there had been ho assess
ment in their offices and there wouh
be none. , :
Some of the state officers, who
have understood that the 5 per cent
assessment will have to come, declare
that if the order comes they will ad
vise their employes not to pay it. It
is probable, however, that they will
stand for half that and, not grumble
very much.
On a 5 per cent basis deputies will
have to pay $90; bookkeepers, $75;
clerks from $50 to $60, and stenog
raphers, $42. There are half a dozen
democratic deputies in the state house
with assistants who draw a like sal
ary, which will make a total sum, if
all pay the 5 per cent, of $450. There
are the same number of bookkeepers
who will donate $450; about twenty
clerks who will cough up about $1,000
to $1,200; an army of stenographers
who at least should be able to donate
$1,000 more,' while there are several
$1,200 clerks "who should be able to
help out about $800 more: this snouid
enable the democrats to hold up the
employes for about $4,000 in an ef
fort to keep the democratic machine
well oilea.

R, W, Craig Tells ,
-...OfReceatlisit to
: Chalmers Factory
R. W. Craig, the Chalmers dis
tributor, recently spent a week at the
Chalmers factory in Detroit and re
turned home with a lot of new ideas
and a lot of added enthusiasm. In
speaking of his visit Mr. Craig said:
"I wu verv deenlv imoressed with the
appropriateness of Mr. Chalmers' slo
gan, "Quality first." In every de
partment o tne tactory, quancy is
the watch-word and every mechanic
with whom I came in contact dis
played a great pride in doing his job
well. They all love Mr. Chalmers for
his fairness and his democratic per
sonality. Mr. Chalmers is constantly
striving to make better men. of his
emoloves. so that thev will be worth
more to themselves and to the or
ganization. Various schools are con
ducted at the factory in which every
employe is urged to participate, with
out cost to him. To some of the
classes Mr. 'Chalmers gives his per
sonal supervision. It is small wonder
that the Chalmers organization is
one of the strongest in the automobile
industry. The one great feature at
the Chalmers factory that impressed
me most was the thorough system of
inspection. . , ,
