Food Economist Tells How to
Reform American House
wives' Cooking to Meet
War Requirements.
MifS N'cal Kiiowlrs. head of the
household art department of Ames
college, won applause at the Yoiinf?
Women's Christian association last
night, when she made these pertinent
statements:
"We do not know enough about
cooking the less expensive foods.
"The wise housewife is the one who
goes to market and sees what is
there.
"We should eliminate from our vo
cabulary the words, 'Don't like.' and
'Can't eat.' We are finicky and fussy.
"We should watch our Rarbagc can.
If we are throwing food away, vc
are not patriotic.
"Do not cook more than is needed.
Do not serve more than is needed.
Do not eat more than is needed.
"Eating food when you do not
need it is wasting food.
"We have grown into the habit
of believing we can not entertain
folks unless we feed them. We have
gotten away from true hospitality.
We have developed false standards
about our food.
"We should learn sane eating."
Women at Thrift Dinner.
Miss Knowles appeared in connec
tion with i "thrift" dinner, which was
served to 120 women under the au
spices of the Omaha Women's Coun
cil of War.
The menu, which was served at 20
cents each, follows:
Mexican beef, corn bread and but
ter, lettuce and orange salad, coffee
or milk. Those dishes comprised a
balanced ration and were served by
the regular culinary department of
the association. Following the meal
Miss Knowles addressed a group of
-women on the economies of dietetics.
"I have in inind an Eighth grade
class of girls, who believe they can
not have a party unless they go to a
hotel and have a spread. That is
one of the instances of the extrava
gant habits we have been cultivating.
Teach Young Girls.
"It rest with the mothers and
teachers to revise some of these false
standards of living and I hold that
there is not a stronger combination
than teacher and mother for character
building and setting true standards
for our young people," said the Iowa
woman.
The speaker illustrated some of the
uses of cornmeal, rice and oatmeal
with meats and vegetables, to illus
trate her idea of cooking the simple
oods in a pleasing way. She urged
frequent use of soups in the practice
of economy.

PLATINUM NEEDED
FOR WARPURPOSES
Omaha Jewelers Join National
Movement to Discourage
Its Use for Jewelry
Purposes,
The use of platinum in jewelry,
particularly heavy pieces, is being dis
couraged by the Omaha jewelers, in
conjunction with the jewelers all over
the United States.
This is a part of the movement to
conserve the supply of platinum for
war needs. 1
Because platinum doesjiot tarnish
or oxidize at ordinary or at very high
temperatures, and because its melting
point is higher than that of any other
metal known, it is of exceptionally
great value in the manufacture of
munitions. The melting point of pure
gold is 1945 degree Fahrenheit.
T. L. Combs of Omaha, former
president of the jewelers' national
association, recently attended the con
ference of manufacturing jewelers in
New York City, where the platinum
situation was discussed and where
strong resolutions were passed dis
couraging its use.
Some facts about platinum printed
in a circular sent out by the national
jewelers' vigilance committee show
that 'Russia has supplied 95 per cent
of the world's production of platinum,
the total being about 5,000,000 ounces
to date.
The United States, according to
these figures, has imported and pro
duced 1,500,000 ounces to date. A
certain percentage of this has been
lost, but the bulk of it is in existence
in one form or another, thus provid
ing a certain and sufficient stock of
this precious metal for, every emer
gency connected with the possible
need of platinum for war purposes.
Extensive Improvements
At the Brandeis Stores
Brandeis stores are planning exten
sive improvements immediately on
two floors of their main store, the first

New tile floors will be placed on
these two floors and the second is to

sive mahogany furnishings which
have been installed but a short time
on the second floor will be removed
and replaced by the mpst modem
American walnut fixtures. This fea
ture alone is to be done at a cost of
over $50,000.
Three new fast electric elevators
arc to replace the three now in serv

NO PROTEST ON WAR
TAX FROMOMAHANS
Manufacturers Make No Flans
to Send Delegation to Wash

Omaha manufacturers failed to
come to a decision to send a delega
tion to Washington to protest against
features of the war revenue bill,
when they met yesterday afternoon
at the Commercial club rooms.
Luther Drake, who received some
telegrams from Chicago manufactur
ers and bankers urging that the Oma
ha Manufacturers' association ap
point a delegation to oppose some
features of the "excess profits" tax,
could not attend, and the result was
that those present were at a loss to
know the definite proposition to be
taken up.
Finally, to Build Strictly High-Grade
Trucks at Moderate Prices
In setting out to attain their ideal of the ultimate
track the General Motors Co. was-not unaware of the
'fact that in makjng strictly high-grade machines they
must be. produced at a figure business men could af
ford to pay if they were to become popular.
Building a machine of top-most value costs money
and the only way to overcome the inevitable high price
that such a truck would ordinarily have to bring is to
build so many of them and in such an efficient manner
that production cost and overhead are reduced to the
' minimum thereby keeping the market price down.
As one of the pioneer builders of com
mercial vehicles the General Motors Truck
Co. enjoy advantages not common to other
truck builders which enable them to build
chassies of unrivaled quality at an unusu
ally low figure.
Years of experience, a well developed
organization, the world's largest exclusive

THEATER MANAGER
HAS U-BOAT SCHEME
Wilfrid
Fence
Ledoux
Would Have
Built
Around
Ships
to Guard Against Tor
pedoes.
Wilfrid Ledoux, manager of the
Empress theater has an invention
which he believes will be effective
against submarine attack.
His idea is a sort of "fence" built of
steel and wood so balanced as to float
in the water. The "fence" is to extend
down as deep as the bottom of a ves
sel. It is to be drawn by a submarine.
In operation two such "fences"
would be drawn throng the water and
between the "fences" the steamer
would move, thus establishing pro
tection against the torpedoes, which
would' explode against the "fences"
and leave the ships unscathed.
Each "fence" might be from 5,000
to 10,000 feet long, giving room for
several steamers to move along be
tween them.
One objection to the invention
would be that it would prove a long
and unwieldy contrivance that could
not easily be controlled out in the
stormy ocean where the waves would
have a tendency to hurl it against the
ships that it is intended to protect.
Mr. Ledoux !.as been elected re

Spend Vacations on Farms
The prospect of a new kind of sum
mer vacation is staring the railroad
employes of the central west in the
face, especially the office men and
women.
It is the rule in railroad offices that
each year each employe is to have a
vacation of two weeks with full pay.
In addition, there his always been
transportation to such point as they
might designate.
If the plan that is now under con
templation by the heads of the rail
roads is carried out,. this summer
there w ill be the usual' vacation, but
instead of climbing mountains, catch
ing fish and lolling in hammocks in
the shade, men and women will be
called upon to do their bit in helping
theVountry along.
Plans being matured contemplate
requesting the men to go to the farms
where they will help out during the
rush season, doing the class of work
they are best qualified to perform.
Instead of the women dressing up
and playing lady at some fashionable
resort, they will be expected to go to
country homes where they can help
truck factory and the financial backing of
the General Motors Co. the world's
strongest organization of its kind are the
factors that are making it possible for them
to build commercial vehicles that are unex
celled for service at prices business men
can afford to pay.
