Who will be the first Omaha girl
to volunteer for the ambulance driv
ers' corps, in case of war emergency?
Omaha society girls are notably ex
pert drivers, among the most familiar
figures at the wheel of their cars be
ing Misses Irene McKnight, Mona
Cowell, Margretha Grimmel, Emily
Keller, Gladys Peters, Alice Duval,
Dorothy Morton, May Engler, Char
lotte Bedwell, Bernice Whitney and
hosts of others.
r',y young society women of Chi
cago participated in a motor drive
test last week, each one of them a vol
unteer to serve her country in case
of , need in the ambulance drivers
corps. The test may be given in
Omaha later.
Many have given up their social
duties for devotion to preparedness
measures. The debutantes and
younger women especially will wel
come the news of other means in
which they can be of service aside
from the Red Cross auxiliary work,
which means preparing surgical dress
ings and bandages and volunteering as
nurses. The latter is no longer a
matter of only sentiment and duty
it means being trained for the work
in this modern day of science.

Louise Fillmore,
Omaha Girl, Wants
To Become War Spy
To become a girl spy for Uncle
Sam is the latest ambition of Miss
Louise Fillmore, 4422 Pierce street,
who it head of the Girls' Prepared
ness and Recruiting club here.
She says she will apply Thursday,
to secret service headquarters, and
also to the officers in charge of army
and navy recruiting, with -the idea of
getting into the military secret serv
ice, if possible.
"I believe I would make a good
spy," she says. "It would be excit
ing work, as well as important and
helpful to the country. If the author
ities will let me I would like to enlist
as a spy."
Miss Fillmore has done much good
work in helping recruiting officers in
terest young men. She also started
the girls' club, which now has nearly
fifty members. She was one of the
first young women here to volunteer
as a yeomanette in the naval reserve,
to do clerical service on land in case
of need. I
The military note must sound now
and again in the suits of this apring.
It is most effectively managed in
this youthful-looking model of olive
drab khaki, which depends entirely
on the placement of its atitched
straps and pockets for its very good
lines, The front of the coat buttons
up with jaunty severity, and the
cuffs follow suit with single-minded
simplicity. Broad straps end sudden
lyin little flap pockets, and pockets
appear again on the peplum and tuck
themselves away in the side breadths
of the simply-cut skirt. The hat
worn with this model adds a very
feminine touch. It is of black straw,
whose upturned brim is deeply
noched and edged with a narrow
band of ostrich.

Mother Earth'' 's Father and Mother
By GARRETT P. SERVISS.
Mere animals don't care how things
began; they are solely interested in
things as they are. But men, being
by virtue of their superior brains,
more than mere animals, want to
know all they can about the origin
and nature of everything about them.
They have their minds to feed as well
as their bodies.
This mental food is not always
solid knowledge; often it is largely
speculative, or theory, which is
knowledge in a fermentative stage
out of which, eventually good bread
will come, if the materials and pro
cesses are all right.
There is now in the taking a nev
batch of the bread of knowledge in
trusted to the astronomical oven, but
in the preparation of which geologi
cal, physical, chemical and mathema
tical hands have' had a share, and
there is great interest in the ques
tion of the quality of the loaf to be
finally turned out. In its present state
it is called "the planetesimal hypo
thesis," and it relates to he old prob
lem of the origin of the earth.
There has been much talk about
it in the last ten years or so, and
while some have enthusiastically ac
cepted it at the first taste, before even
the makers were ready to declare it
done, others have smacked their lips
in a dissatisfied way, and doubtfully
shaken their heads. Recently it has
been drawn out of the oven once more
for a test, and presented to the world
under the form of a book called "The
Origi.. of the Earth," by Thomas C.
Chamberlain, head of the department
of geology in the Chicago university,
ana the author of .he planetesimal
hypothesis.
Certainly it would be difficult to
find a more absorbingly interesting
question than that which is con
cerned with the beginning and the
evolution of the globe to whose ex
istence we owe our own existence.
There have been various hypothesis
about this in the past, and one of
them, "the nebular hypothesis of La
place," haa for three-quarters of a
century been universally known, and
almost universally accepted as prob
ably correct, at least in its main out
lines. However, there are so.ne particu
lars in which Laplace'' hypothesis
fails to meet the requirements, al
though it would be impossible in the
space at my command to point them
out with sufficient detail to make the
discussion intelligil le. Mr. Chamber
lin shows what they are in his book.
He thinks the Lsplace loaf is not
viable, and therefore he has concocted
his own. He admits his theory is not
yet perfect, or that it is subject to
alterations snd corrections, although
he believes that it is constructed on
the right lines.
I wish it were possible for Lap
lace to reappear with his immense
genius instructed by the knowledge
that has been acquired since his day
and pass upon this substitute for his
celebrated hypothesis, Just as I should
like to ses Napoleon ride out upon
his white horse on the battle line in
Europe and try his hand in the twen
tieth century war,
Laplace's idea wsi that the sub
stance out of which the sun, earth
snd other planets were formed once
existed In the shape of a huge ro
tating nebula which gradually con
tracted and condensed, leaving off
rings, one after another, at its cir
cumference, until the principal mass
at the center became too dense for
such separation to continue. This
central mass then became the sun,
while the rinRS broke up and took the
shape of balls, or planets, circling
around the sun, which vastly out
weighed them all.
The system of rings surrounding
the planet Saturn has always been
regarded as an object lesson favor
ing Laplace's hypothesis, while a lab
oratory experience, the "Plateau Ex
periment," has been employed to
prove the possibility of a rotating
mass being transformed in the way
described. Some of the nebulae seen
with telescopes also show rings re
calling the Laplacean theory.
The planetesimal hypothesis is
much less simple in form. It is based
on a calculation of what would hap
pen if two stars, careering through
space, should make a close approach
to one another. Their gravitational
attraction upon one another would
upset their internal -quilibrium and
produce explosions or outshootiugs
of gaseous matter, which would con
dense into the "planetesimals" that
give name to the hypothesis.
These would gyrate around the
body from which they originated in
elliptical orbits, with crossing points,
where knots would be formed. These
knots, or nuclei, would grow larger
as the planetesimals fell together un
til they became planets. Their orbits,
although highly elliptic at first, would
rapidly be "wound up" until they as
sumed the slightly elliptical forms of
the actual planetary orbits. The
great number of spiral nebulae which
the heavens contain is looked upon
as a conoboration of this hypothesis,
although they, as far as we, know, are
on a vastly grander scale than that
of the one supposed to have given
birth to our sun and its system of
planets.
The odd thing about this hypothesis
is that it presupposes the accidental
meeting of two stars in order that
one ot them (or perhaps both) may
beget planets. If we call the sun the
mother star of our solar system, what
has become o. its star? One would
like to recognize him among the stel
lar host, if he be yet visible, and pay
him the filial respect due to pater
nity, however remote.

In Face of High Cost off
Living ARMOUR Keeps
Faith With Consumers!
T3DAY, with the cost of living higher than
most of us have ever known it, the policy of a concern
of Armour's importance in the food world becomes a matter of national
interest And rightly so. It is expedient, therefore, that to judce with true
American fairness, people should know the factn about what Armour it doing for them.
Too often, heretofore, has judgment been passed on a basil of only AatY-truths.
To true knowledge of the situation, it is neces
sary to first realize that Armour is not s producer of
raw materials. Armours sole interest in such pro
duction is to help the farmer make it greater.
The real work of Armour is to scientifically pre.
pare and efficiently market ths national yield,
Rightly done, the result speus true economy to
every American family.
On even the most superficial consideration, it be
comes obvious that the cost to Armour of doing
tl,i work must be practically without change.
And his is to. True, certain factors, such as reduced
pr di.tion, higher labor coBts, etc., do effect these
pre i. ration and marketing charges somewhat, but
new in proportion to the fluctuating market prices
caused by varying production. 1
How email is the profit that Armour receives for
performing this valuable necessary work may be real
ized when you consider that (As amount retained
by thie organization i approximately bat
three cente on every dollar'e worth of butinest
done during the yearl
And this prof if hat not increased with the
increased price of foods!
The actual fact of the matter is that, since
Armour in no way produces or control production of
raw materials, Armour cannot irfiuence prices.
Pricee are the direct result of the inexorable
Law of Supply ana Demand.
This Is not statement of theory, It is a FACT.
Today' t beef prices prove it.
Armour's selling prices on dressed beef carcasses
are. today, LESS than they wars two years ago. For
our fiscal year 1913-14, Armour's average selling
price of beef per hundredweight was $11.98) for
our fiscal year 1915-16. if it but $11.80. The
reason is that beef production during thie period
hat kept pace with demand.
And here it is highly significant to note that, for
many years, ths prices paid by Armour to ths pro
ducer for every kind of meat have borne continu
ously even relation to the prices charged by Armour
for ths meat after it has been prepared. The ratio
between the two figures has hardly varied.
When the farmers' cost of producing meat has
. gone down, Armour's prices likewise have dropped.
And never, unless farmers' priest have increased,
have Armour' t prices gone up.
Yet, even when production costs advance,
Armour's prices do not always advance in propor
tion. Right at the present time, Armour is paying
over 27 mors for heg than in 1914. But Armour's
selling pries for pork ohs (t barometer on other cuts
of pork), shows an a 'vai,c of lest than 10.
Such Instances, of come, are due to scientific
utilization of byproduct mother m ns by which
Armour helps keep food pricee at true-value
levele for you.
