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.

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

gauge, water ballast, impervious
valves and tubes' for discharging foul
air and taking in fresh. 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

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.

Captain Kline of the Salvation

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

of Spring
Nothing is so freshly springlike as
a blouse with a lacy frill like this at
the right. But blouses with good lace
are indeed hard to find at reasonable
prices. They are, indeed, but care
ful shopping discloses this one aboi-e
in an excellent quality of voile.
here is the very waist you want to
wear with the spring suit. It is of a
particularly good looking crepe de
chine, and may be had in ecru, white
flesh color or navy blue. The well
fitting collar and the neck line show
a novel arrangement and the price is
reasonable.
What a small sum will buy when
you put your mind to searching out
values is shown in this pretty waist
of white voile, well made, and of a
type one need not hesitate to wear
anywhere. The trimming is a really
good Valenciennes lace, with em
broidered dots between the bands, and
the collar is nicely hemstitched.

Feeding the
At the beginning of the third year
the child's diet may be increased by
adding more solid food, especially
meats and vegetables. 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. Toast, zueiback or hard
