Dolls large and .small, dolls dark
and fair, dolfe male and female, dolls
American and alien, in (act any tort
of doll y"ou might wish is being
dressed by the young women of St.
Mary's Avenge Congregational
church for their tea, or bazaar, which
will be given . about Thanksgiving
time. Some of the dolls are donated
by friends, others are purchased by
the members, but a large array of
dolls to suit every little girl is being
decked in daintylgarments for the oc
casion. This afternoon at the home of Miss
Helen Garvin the) circle will meet for
worlt , Among the members of the
circle art Miss Helen Ingwersen,
chairman; Misses-Marjorie Howland,
Helen Garvin, Margaret Nattinger,
Lucy Garvin and Gertrude Porter.
The last two young women have gone
away to school, but before they left
they made their respective donations
to the collection.
Dressing the dolls is giving the
airlt heani of fun. Thev have all of
(them named and probably tagged
with individual characteristics. -One
day someone donated a baby doll that
looked the - very picture, everyone
agreed, of little John Hulbert, 3-year-old
son of Dr. and Mrs. G. A. Hul
bert. That started it. .For since that
baby was John Hulbert, the others
couldn't be neglected, and so regular
chistenings are the order at the meet

"Clean Your Slums,"
- Urges Borglum in
'- Discourse on Art
'h"en minutes a day of fifty men's
time," said Gutson Borglum, New
York sculptor, "woald make Omaha
a city talked of from coast to coast."
He spoke thus to the Commercial
club members at a public affairs
luncheon at noon. He was discussing
"Municipal Art."
"Clean up your slum," he urged.
"The slum is entirely unnecessary in
your city.1 What a beautiful place
could be made of Omaha with com-
Earativety little expense. You need
etter roads and better streets, you
need parks and places to gather and
see and meet each other,
"Until you want these things you
will never have them. And until you
have them you will never be a great
city.
"I've seen Minneapoli and other
cities no older than Omaha develop
ahead of Omaha in these things, while
at the 'same , time. I've teen Omaha,
my old home city, lying still with dirt
accumulating.
"Why don't you get together and
realize what Omaha means to you, if
not also to the United States?1'
The speaker complained again of
the lack of appreciation of the early
heroet of thit section, in that none of
them are immortalized In-statues on
the big buildings .in this section. "The
great men who have made this com
monwealth you've forgotten," he said.
"You've forgotten most of them, and
one might almost say, you don't even
care for them."
Detailed Reason :
For the Advance
In Price of Bread
Washington, Oct. ' 13. The extent
of, increase in the price of bread or
decrease in weight of loaves during
the four months from May 15 to
September 15, is detailed in figures
from forty-five of the country's prin
cipal industrial centers, made public
today by the Bureau of Labor sta
tistics. Bakers in reports to the bu
eau gave as reasons the increased
:ost of materials and ingredients, es
pecially flour. Changes in prices and
weights have been most numerous
luring the last two months, which
the figure cover. : r i
Of 210 brands of bread that re
tailed for 5 cents and weighed fifteen
ounces or over May 15, only fourteen
remained at the same price and
weight September 15.
Comnarative ftEures on wheat and
flour give the retail prices of bread
and thow that in September the
wholesale price of wheat waa- 31 per
cent greater September 15 than May
15: the wholesale Driceof flour 37'
per cent higher; the retail price 23
ner cent higher for the same period
and the average retail price of bread
11 per cent, mghetr
In Mav. flour was $5.48 a barrel
wholesale and $7.62 retail, leaving a
margin of $2.14 to cover transporta
tion, retailer's expentet and profits,
usually jobbers' expenses and profits
bet ween the mill and the retailer. ' In
September the margin wat $1.90 a
barret.
The retail price of bread per pound
before baking in May wat $.056, in
SeDtember. $.062. The -wholesale
price of 10.45 ounces of flour in one
pound ot breaa before Daxing, assum
ing 300 loaves to the barrel, in May
was $.018, in September, $.025.
In May the wholesale value of 10.45
ouncea of flour was 1.8 cents; the
average retail price for sixteen ounces
of bread, before baking being 5.6
centt, making a margin ot iJS cents
between the wholesale price of flour
in Jpsixteen-ounce loaf of dough and
the retail of the sale loaf baked. The
margin figures do not include the cost
of retailing and the retailer's profits.
Sweating Citrus
' Fruit is Violation
Of Federal Law
Washington, Oct. 13. Orange and
grapefruit growers and shippers were
warned today by the Department of
Asricu ture that the shipment in in
trastate commerce of fruit sweating
either before or during shipment is
a violation of the pure food laws.
Sweating turns green, unripe fruit
yellow and maket it apear ripe.
The warning wat occasioned, the
department's statement says, by
growers and shippers inquiring what
action would be taken during the
coming season to prevent the ship
ment of citrus fruit artificially colored
by tweating. ' : ;

' The blue of the ocean is not due to
reflection from the-sky- Pure water
itself is blue, at can be proved by
looking through a long tube filled
with it. On a bright day the inten
sity -of the blue color of the ocean
may be accentuated by sky reflection,
but the color remains when the sky
it clouded. .
Where the ocean appeart green, as
near1 coasts or over banks, the phe
nomenon is not due to reflection from
(he bottom, but to impuritiet in the
water, These impurities have a pre
vailing yellowish color, which mixed
with the blue, transmitted from the
water beneath, produces green. When
there are no noticeable impurities
near the surface the light that is re
flected back from a considerable
depth shows only the blue of the
water, the other colors being ab
sorbed. ( .
. Any perfectly blue water will ap
pear blue if the depth; from which
the' light is reflected is sufficiently
great. But shallow water doea not
look blue because the light must pass
through af considerable depth of
water before the yellow elementi of
the epectrum are absorbed. The gray
ish or, slate-colored, hue, of the ocean
when its surface is disturbed by the
wind is due to the intermixture of
various reflected rays; and rays that
have not penetrated much below the
surface.
The phenomenon of color contrast
which you noticed at the edge of the
Gulf stream is familiar to many ocean
travelers. The line of division is usu
ally not quite so sharp as you describe
it, but the change from green to blue
as the Gulf stream is entered is re
markably abrupt, and no doubt arises
from the relative purity of the warm,
salt water of the-stream.
At the same time it would appear
that there are cases in which some
peculiar quality of the water may af
fect the color, although, as far, as I

arm aware, no analysis has shown this
to be a fact The Lake of Geneva, or
Lake Leman, which it the wash basin
of the River Rhone, it world famous
for the exquisite blue of its waters.
The Lake of Constance, which may
similarly be called the wash basin bf
the River Rhine, it celebrated for itt
beautiful green hue. ' .
In the Kandorstog valley, Switzer
land, is a little lake, or , pond, which
travelers over the Gemmi pass turn
aside to see, whose water is of an
indigo blue, to intense that one is
tempted to suspeet that it haa been
artificially colored as a bait for tour
ists, -i I '- '
A marvelous proof that water it
really blue has been furnished by
nature in the celebrated Blue grotto
of Capri. When you have been rowed
into that wonderful cavern in the
Bar of Naples, passing through a

the wind blows toward the shore, you
must stodp almosf'lo the gunwales to
keep your head from contact with the
roof of the passage, you find yourself
floating under a great natural dome,
with water fifty feet deep beneath you
and the atmosphere tteeped in blue
so brilliant and vivid that you might
imagine yourself to be breathing -.a
transparent azure vapor instead of
ordinary, air.
The magnificent color is due to the
fact that the greater part of the light
in the cavern has to come through the
deep water at the entrance, where the
aperture in the rocks, narrow and low
above the aurface, widens as it de
scends. The bright sunlight striking
the bay outside penetrates the hurt
water and enters the cavern far Below
the surface, ajid when it emerges with
in the hidden chamber all but the blue
rays have been abstracted.
The more transparent the water

appears almost black. The best ex

which daylight penetrates in water
hive been based upon photography.
The eastern Mediterranean seems to
be the most transparent body of

Many Ways
By DOROTHY DIX.
A few days ago I wrote an. article
for thit column urging parents to
have- their daughters taught some
gainful occupation whereby they
could earn their own bread and but
ter if it ever became necessary for
them to do so. 'This has brought
forth hundreds of letters from fathers
and mothers who ask; i
"What trade or profession would
you advise us to have our daughters
taught? A boy can study law, medi
cine, dentistry, etc., but what can a
girl do?" '
Broadly speaking, a girl can follow
almost any career in these days that
her brother can. The door of oppor
tunity1 is pretty widely open to wo
men and the limit of their achieve
ment is the limit of their ability
There are famous woman lawyers and
rinetnn and there are also ladv
Meamboat captains, lady longshore
men and at least one feminine steeple
jack. - ,
In the face of what women are
doing in Europe at the present mo
ment, where they are raising the
crops, making munitions, driving am
bulances, doing police duty, running
the street railways and motor busses,
there don't teem to be many things
that a woman can't 66 if she sets her
hand to it and puts her mind on it.
Woman's sphere has grown as large
as the universe. -
Personally, however, I believe in
the cobbler sticking to his last, and I
think that women are most useful
and that they are likely to achieve
their greatest tuccesses when they
follow along the lines of what we call
woman's work, the things that their
foremothert have done for countless
generations, and for which they have
an inherited natural aptitude.
Let a girl choose any of the occu
pations that belong to her sex, and do
it so well that she raises it to an art
or i science, and she is sure of fame
and fortune as her reward.
Clothes, food, shelter, nursing
there will never come a time when
these four elemental needs of human
ity will be adequately supplied. There
will always be women and men will
ing to pay lavishly for beautiful hats
and gowns, for superlative cooking,
for well kept lodgings and for skill
ful attendance upon them when they
are tick. x
Every dressmaker who has even an
artistic sense grows rich. , Women
struggle with one another to pay $50
for $5 worth of material if it is cun
ningly put together by a master hand
in a hat.
There are a dozen chefs In this city
who get ten thousand a year, and any
half-way sort of a cook that can make
gravy can get from $35 to $40 a
month with her board and prequis
ites. Every well run boarding house
where they sweep under the beds and
give fairly decent food has a long
waiting list. A good trained nurse
can make as much as a physician.
- These facts being self-evident, ( it
follows that no girl can make a mis
take who chooses either one .of these
professions, according to her bent. If
she. is handv with the needle, send
Wovr daughter to one cf the various

when she starts, forth on her career

tions and get the price of creations,
instead of turning out sartorial hor
rors) that no one will be willing to
pay for at any price.
. If your daughter has a taste for
cooking, send her to one of the do
mestic science schools, where she
will learn every branch of the art of
cookery and housewifery, how to
keep a budget, what cuts of meat to
buy, how to balance rations and
so on. ,
Thus the will be equipped to go
into a kitchen, to run a boarding
house profitably, to take a place in
a hotel, or to teach domestic sccience
and.it is said by those in authority at
Colurnbia that there are far more de
mands for domestic science teachers
than there are for women to expound
the higher. culture. -
Trained nursing and kindergarten
ing are two more good professions
for a girl to study. Furthermore, the
girl who takes a thorough course in
any of these -arts that I have men
tioned is preparing herself in 'the best
possible manner for woman's chief
career. She will be a more efficient
