Omaha Women Win Praise for Work, t At the reauest of the National Sur gical Dressings Committee of Amer Mr. O. C Redick has accepted the position of state chairman of the I organization lor AeDraana. i quest came as a result of Mrs. Red ick's splendid work in connection with the Omaha organization. Each week she spends her afternoons, with the exception of two, at the war relief rooms in the Baird building, where she works in a little room by herself, steadily wrapping bundles of clean, neat bandages. She inspects each article that is finished by the workers in the big outer room, and if she finds it perfect she adds it to the piles of other finished articles, makes them all into small packages, marks them with the stamp of the National Sur gical Dressings Committee, Omaha division, which tells the character and size of the bundle, and then arranges these small bundles in the big boxes for shipping. So carefully has all the work sent to the national headquarters by the Omaha women been done that in a letter of recent dat? the committee stated that it had nothing but the highest praise for them and that they would be sent one of the shipping books which is allotted to 1hose so cieties who do pertect work. This means that from now on the Omaha women are trusted to ship their own goods direct to the Paris bureau in stead of sending them to New York for inspection and reshipments across the water. One of the chief difficul ties now, however, is to find genuine waterproof paper for the linings of the packing cases. This is only man ufactured in New York and Omaha firms do not keep it in stock. Not all the bandages and dressings made by the Surgical Dressings com mittee women are like the Red Cross bandages. The ones they now make are for the use of foreign surgeons. Mrs. Redick, however, has received instructions to learn the Red Cross articles, which are different. To this end a Red Cross kit has been sent , for, so that within a short time the circles working in the Baird building will be making all the dressings need ed by the European physicians and the Red Cross requirements, too. Omaha Masons have been most generous in their donations of money for the purchase oi materials. One hundred dollars does not go very far in these days of increased prices. The . remainder of the money comes by personal contribution of each woman who sews at the war relief rooms. Hamlin Streight Wedding.

Miss Florence Flyrm of the "Ex iky- vCw Jf Idea of a Submarine is at Least Three Hundred Years Old By GARRETT P. SERVISS When history is making itself as .wiflly as today, past conditions re treat like the shrinking track of a railroad seen from the rear platform ci an express train. A few rushing years stretch rapidly into the perspec tive of an ordinary century. Take, for instance, the story of the subma rine. Who can realize the actual near ness of its beginning? Germany did not begin to build these terrors of the sea until 1906, when U-l was launched. Now they swarm like flies, bred in the fetid atmosphere of war, and their novelty is swallowed up in their prog ress. Biology itself could not furnish a better example of the necessity of a proper environment for the develop ment of new forms, or of the quick ness with which such forms may mul tiply when all the needed conditions are present. The idea of the subma rine is by no means new. To say nothing of Jonah's unsought adven ture, it is at least .100 years old. A uutcn scientist, Lornelius Van Drebbel. who amazed Kine lames I of England with many exhibitions of natural magic, made a submarine boat, covered with a skin of greased leather, in iwu, and King James took a ride in it. In 1776 a Connecticut Yankee, David Bushnell, made another subma rine boat, intended to blow up the - v. . , , Dnusn warsnips in iew i one nar bor. His boat was of wood, in the form of a turtle, moved by hand- rower through projecting screw shaped propellers. He had attached to it a box containing 150 pounds of powder, to be exploded by a time machine, after being fastened to the bottom of a vessel by a screw worked from inside the boa. When the box was securely fastened and the time device set going, the boat could cut loose and get away. The Turtle, as the boat was called, undertook to blow up the British frigate Eagle, anchored off .Staten Island. Unfortunately, Bushnell was not physically strong enough to manage the craft himself, and Gen eral Putnam selected a soldier named Ezra Lee to 'take his place. Lee started out on a dark night in the Turtle, got under the Eagle and tried to attach the explosive box, but he neglected to detach the ballast, the removal of which Would have held the Turtle firmly against the ship's bottom, and, in consequence, he could not force the screw into the planking. He cut loose and got safelv awav. and some time later the box exploded, to the terror of the British; but, luckily for them, it had floated off with the tide, and the explosion occurred at a considerable distance trom the ship. Bushnell's device contained all the essential elements of a submarine. It enclosed sufficient air to furnish, with out renewal, good breathing for half an hour; it had a compass, a pressure THE BEE: Waist with a Breath i v 'n-Tr i r v mi m v s sin ' o perience" company, which is playing at a local theater, is the guest of Miss Betty Hutchison for the rest of the week.

But mechan ical science was not sufficiently de veloped to take advantage of this Yankee invention, and even during our civil war, although some slight attempts were made, the submarine idea remained awaiting its time. From 1803 onward various nations began to experiment, but it is only within the last three years that the submarine has lound all the conm tions ripe to malie it one of the most feartul ot war machines. Ihe inter nal combustion engine for driving the I boat when awash, or afloat, and elec tric induction motors, supplied with power from accumulators, for driv ing it when submerged, are among the chief key's to present success. But inventors are continually searching for a motive power which can be used indifferently for both pur poses. Compressed air, sufficient to provide for the respiration of a crew of many men. during a period of two or three days, if necessary, can now be provided, and submarines are made stout enough to go to depths of 150 or 200 feet without any danger of having their walls crushed in by the water pressure. The ordinary working depth is said by Mr. Allen Hoar never to exceed about fifty feet. At that depth the pressure is over a ton and a half per square foot. At 200 feet it would be at least six tons. There was a report the other day that one of the recent methods if combatting submarines is to watch them so closely that they cannot come to the surtace to renew their supplies of air and to recharge their batteries. Undoubtedly it a submarine could be prevented from emerging at all for several days the results would be dis astrous, for even the best of the Ger man vessels have not approached any where near the ideal of Jules Verne's dream ot a boat that could rmain for an indefinite length of time entirely submerged. But they can remain under water for many hours, and if thev can but get the periscope and conning tower out for a while, they can at least re new the air supply. Mill, according to all accounts, the hardships of un derwater navigation are extreme, and very exhausting to the nerves. The air is oppressive, and so damp, owing to "sweating," that the interior has to be lined with cork, or other absorb ing substances. An overpowering ten dency to sleep seizes upon the men, and the confinement and constant anxiety are terribly wearing. One great boon for the submarine is the gyroscopic compass. This en ables the steersman to set his course and to pursue it for a long period with correction by surface observa tion. The ordinary magnetic compass cannot be used because of the dis turbances to which it is subjected from the metal of the vessel and the OMAHA, FRIDAY, APRIL i i p electric machinery. A great disad vantage is the gloom prevailing un der the sea surface. The submarine must feel its way about as best it can, guided by indications gathered from above. But if it can keep its pert scope out of water, to a height of three feet, it can command a view around it to a distance of more than two miles. Of a neutraf color and only three or four inches in diameter, a periscope projecting out of a gray sea is a difficult thing to sight at such a distance. Lost Daughter Livfes in Nebraska, Father Thinks Captain Kline of the Salvation Army has been asked by L. Walden of Alton. III., to aid in his twentv years' search for his daughter Flossie. Twenty years ago, the letter reads, the Waldens gave their daughter, then a child, to an orphanage at Iola, Kan. The father, it seems, did not sign over the papers to the institution and since that time has kept up a constant search. In the course of his inquiry the father has been informed that his daughter has been adopted some where in Nebraska.

According to the United States Department of Ag riculture every healthy child of hould have at least one food a day of each of the following five groups: 1. Milk end dish?, made rhi.fly. or milk fmost important of thla group m children's dl.t), meat, fish, poultry and .gars. 2. Bread and other cereal foods. 1. Butter and other wholesome fata. 4. Vegetables and fruit,. 5. Simple sweets. The meats should be beef, boiled, broiled or roasted; lamb chops: the white meat of chicken, or delicate fish. All meat should be free from fat, gristle or bone and finely minced when given to the child. Eggs should be very soft boiled, cnddlcd or poached, or soft scram bled. Fried eggs should never be given tc a child, but the grated or mashed yolk of a very hard boiled egg may sometimes be used. . Meat broths made from mutton, beef, or chicken have little nutri ment, but if these are thickened with arrowroot or cornstarch, and espe cially if milk is added, they become a valuable food. Well cooked vegetables strained and adder to warm milk, are not only good foods, but serve to"j teach the child to like vegetables Lereals should be thoroughly cooked and served with milk or thin cream and a very small amount of sugar or none. Bread for a child should be at least two days old.

Baked potatoes moistened with a little butter, thin cream, beef juice or platter gravy may be given. Asparagus tips, spinach, stewed cel ery, squish, string beans, carrots, young peas, well-cooked and mashed, or put through a puree sieve, are all good for a child. A small -portion or one of these vegetables may be a part of the child's dinner each day. Fruits should be continually used. At this age sweet oranges, baked ap ples or stewed prunes are most use ful. The juice or mashed pulp of fresh, ripe pears or peaches may be given in the third year, but there is much danger in using overripe or green fruit, as well as in giving too much. It is , especially necessary to be careful in hot weather when fresh fruit decays rapidly. Bananas should never be given to a young child. A child under 4 years of age should never have dried or salted meats, sausage, pork, game, liver, kidney, goose or duck. Fried and raw veg etables, hot fresh breads, cakes and pastries, salads, candy, syrups, tea, coffee, beer, cider and soda water are all unsuitable foods for a child.
