Opportunity Given the Omaha
Public to Make Profitable
Investment at Home.
AND IT GIVES SATISFACTION
By A. R. GROH.
Here is another opportunity (or
you to make a profitable investment
in an Omaha enterprise. It ts an
investment that pays big dividends
and an investment that you cannot
lose. It is as safe as government
bAbouf$U,250 of the $20,000 offered
for subscription has already been
taken up by shrewd investors. 5o,
don't delay too long. .
The attractive investment which I
have recommended is the budget of
the Young Women's Christian asso
ciation. The sum of $20,000 is now
being raised for it. The "Y. W., of
course, is very largely self-supporting
But its activities are so wide
and it charges are so small that a
few thousands must be raised each
year to make both ends meet.
Dollar a Year.
You can readily see why there is
need to solicit some funds when you
remember that a membership in the
"Y. W." costs only $1 year. It is
made so low in order that no girl or
woman will be kept out because of a
prohibitive fee. This $1 entitles the
member to all privileges, such as id
mission to entertainments, discount
in cafe and cafeteria, use of library,
entrance to all educational classes on
payment of smaW fees, use of bathing
pool for small fee, registration in
employment and boarding house di
rectory, membership in clubs, admis
sion to summer home in the country
at low rates, use of the reception,
rest, reading and writing rooms of
the building.
The public baths are open to non
members at IS cents. Members are
charged only 10 cents for fifteen ad
missions for the small sum of $1.
Runt Summer Horn.
The association's employment and
boarding house directory gets posi
tions for young women and refers
them to respectable boarding houses.
The association keeps a secretary at
the Union station all the time to
help girls who come to the city. All
summer the association's summer
home at Bennington is open, where
members can have an inexpensive
outing.
' The educational department has a
staff of eleven teachers, all experts.
Here, too, the fees are much below
cost. For example, an English gram
mar course for foreign girls is given
at 50 cents for fifteen lessons. The
beginning and advanced English
courses tor foreign girls are given
with no fee at all. In French and
German a course of fifteen lessons is
given at $J. A home nursing course
of fifteen lessons costs but $3.
Domestic science, domestic art, mil
linery, physical education classes are
all taught by expert! at very small
cost to members. , !
Various clubs are conducted. There
arc six "campfire" groups off high
school girls. The Central Friendship
club, the Clover club, several grade
school clubs, Business Women's club,
clubs (or the girls in some of the
stores and factories all these are
manifestations of the far-reading
work of the association which surely
have a wonderful power for good
among the girls and young women
of the city. ,
. Mrs. J. P. Lord is chairman of th
campaign for $20,000. Mrs. Palmer
Findley, Mrs. W. A. Willard, Mrs.
W. E. Rhoadea and Miss Grace Od
die arc captains of teams
It is an absolutely safe investment,
as stated before, and the dividends in
satisfaction and good feeling are re
ceived by investors, not just yearly or
quarterly, out aatiy. ,

Two Omaha boys, John Brother
ton and William Campen, have in
vented a machine for projecting shells
by means of steam instead of powder.
The boys began to work on the de
vice when takiig physics at the
Omaha Central High school in 1914.
Since that time Brotherton has been
working on the machine at the Uni
versity of Chicago, while Campen
worked at the University of Omaha.
Brotherton came home for Thanksgiv
ing and the young inventors compared
notes, finding that both reached the
same conclusion in different labora
tories. 1
This machine utilizes the 6team in
steam turbine and thus develops a
great amount of centrifical force. The
shell to be projected would be rotat
ed by means of the turbine. When the
desired speed is developed the shell
is automatically released and made to
pass through a special groove which
will transform the centrifical energy
into forward energy.
Experiment in Cellar.
The machine has been made in
miniature and is oDerated in Cam-
pen's cellar, the Omaha laboratory of
the students. The device will throw
the shells a distance of from two to
three miles when made in its normal
site. Ihe boys realize mat it couiu
not be used for long distance can
nonading, but they are confident that
for short range work it would oe less
expensive to operate. They point out
that it saltpeter should run oui war.
the machine could be used in its place.
The initial power need not be steam.
It could be electricity or gas.
The name of the machine is "The
Brotherton-Campen Turbine Gun."
The boys have taken the necessary
steps to patent tne device, i ney nave
written to the United States govern
men asking it to investigate their in
vention and to see if it could be used
successfully.

Uni of Omaha Professor
Finds Cheap Extracter
Prof. Leland Lewis, head of the
chemistry department of the Univer
sity of Omaha, has been' working on
a fat extracter for some time and
last Wednesday announced to his
classes in food chemistry that the de
vice was in working order. It is
simple and inexpensive. Those in use
now cost anywhere trom 13 to siu,
while the new ones costs about 40
cents. The principle is the same,
that of using ether, and the results are
very accurate. A number of the ap
parati may be seen working in the
university s chemistry laboratory.
