Wearing of Feminalls is Becoming Very Popular With Women Doing Men 's Work . , ' MARIE SNYDER. J That women taking the positions of men u nuny or our large business firms will be expected to don mannish costumes to facilitate their efforts is illustrated by the accompanying pic ture. The Misses Lola Moehrle and Marie Snyder, two young women . employed at the local office of the Greater Vitagraph Film company, lo cated at 1111J4 Farnam street, in spect the motion picture films and are daily attired in overalls. M. E. Smith & Co. have sold out their supply of feminalls, having had demand for them as far west as the coast. ."There is no question but what we will use the wjmen in positions of men such as on the elevators, in the shipping departments and even as chauffeurs of delivery- machines, as soon as the men leave to fulfill the demands of the draft and then they will have to wear feminalls," said Mr. Green of Burgess-Mash company. They are considered . especially adapted for gardening and house cleaning and are madejn three styles the first is made in one piece, an other style consists of bloomers and middy blouse and the third includes a skirt worn over the bloomers, giv ing the appearance of a house dress. Miss Alice Loomis, instructor in the home economics department of the State College of Agriculture in Lincoln and a prominent speaker at :he Food Conservation congress this week, favors the use of khaki femin all suits for gardening and dairying purposes, since the women are not hampered by skirts which wind around and trip them. ' The motor driving section and the physical drill sections of the National League for Woman Service are others who anticipate donning the femina'lli a has been done in the eastern cities in these branches of the league. LOLA MOEHRLE. Feminalls for housework were ad vocated by Mis3 Verda Williams, head of the household arts depart ment of Central High school at this morning's session of the woman's conservation congress. Baxter Says Hoarding ' , ; ' ' ' Speculator. Must Go "The hoarding speculator must go, but that need not destroy present , markets and methods of handling ag ricultural products," William F. Bax ter of the Thomas Kilpatrick com pany, at the Rome hotel at the last session of' the conservation congress. "I do not believe that the best in terests of all will be attained by fix ing prices, but rather that the power of the government should be exer cised in gathering and distributing accurate information . regarding in dustrial and agricultural conditions. That information should -be knawn by the public and be accurate and of unquestioned character. My theory is that ifi every person interested has reliable information he is just is good a judge of how to use it as would be a government official. "I would favor the government controlling every storage warehouse ! attp elevator and issuing warehouse receipts for deposits, giving the pub lic constantly information as to the actual supply, so that the farmers and others might have a reliable basis on ' i which to dispose of their products. "Markets should ' be maintained ' free from monopolistic hoarding and . free from' watte and excess profit. This policy facilitating unrcstricted t commerce is in my judgment pref-, erable to the other option that of : arbitrary taking over of goods and ; the fixing of prices." , j Clothing Manufacturers 1 Want More Sheep Raised Wool, wool, and more wool, 4s j what the clothing manufacturers of j the world must have, according to F. ! H. Barclay of Pawnee City, president j ot the Nebraska Ketatl uothiers as sociation, who is in Omaha. Mr. Barclay broke away from other business long enough to call on Union i I'acitic officials to urge them to take up the wool situation in connection ' with their next special educational excursion throughout the state. "We must make a definite cam paign throughout the state and throughout America for the growing of more sheep," said Mr. Barclay. "The big ranges are gone, and we , would like every farmer, to raise a few sheep. , Mr.. Barclay, expressed the belief, that clothing would soon be very much higher than it is now. "With 50-cnvt. wool,- what can, one expect?" he said. .. : . j 17TH AND HOWARD Consolidated with Raymond's. Refrigerator Vakies . .

GROH. Alas, good people, another of the happy illusions of my childhood lias been dissipated by the wisdom of my later years. When I was about 6 years old 1 was reliably informed that if 1 were to dig a hole straight down through the center of the earth 1 would come out in China. Many a time I dug that hole in imagination and lanxhcd as I pictured the "pig-tailed" yellow men running away in affright as I broke throng1' the ground in China. ' It is all false. Not a word of truth in. it. I have consulted the atlas. ; If you are thinking of digging such a hole, don t do u. i ou woman t come out in China at all. You will come out in the Indian ocean, at least 3,000 miles from China. That's where you'd come out. Omaha is in approximately 41 de grees north latitude and 96 degrees west longitude. Therefore the point on the globe, directly opposite Oma ha is in 41 degrees south latitude and 84 degrees east longitude. In Indian Ocean. This honothetical hole wliich we are talking about would come out in the Indian ocean, 2,000 miles south west of Australia and 4.000 miles east of the southern extremity of Africa. Upon emerging from the hole after your 8,000-mile dig through the earth you would tind that the nearest laud to your place of exit is St. Paul's isl and, a tiny spot of land owned by Krance. Steamers running between Cape Town, South Africa, and Mel bourne, Australia, sometimes touch here. The next nearest land lies 1,300 miles southwest of the place where the hole would conic out. It is Ker guelson Land, or Island of Desola tion. It is 100 miles long and fifty miles wide and it is well named, indeed. It is a picture of desolation. Not a human being inhabits it. Only the waves of the ocean beat upon ils strand and the sound of their beating is unheard by human ear. You would be a second Robinson Crusoe if you made vour way to this island. You might wolider among its inlets and reefs and mourn your sad fate until ou died or grew old. No one would ever know, for the Island of Desolation is several hundred miles from the track of ships. Only Desolation. You might turn your despairing steps inland and climb the two gla cial peaks which rise to heights of 4.000 and 6.000 feet, respectively. But even there would would sec only the desolate, lonely sea. don't know even what sort of shelter you would have, for there isn't a tree on the whole island. You might find a cave. I don't know. You might be able to live on the Kerguelan cabbage, an edible- plant that grows wild. And there are some aquatic animals and sea fowl if you could , catch them. But how would you cook them without any wood? Let us abandon all thought of dig ging that hole through the earth. "Better dwell in the midst of alarms Than rule in that horrible place."

' Although members of the Omaha Detective association have declared they will aive preliminary hearing of the charges of alleged blackmail made against (Item at Chadron, Steve Maloncy, Omaha chief of detectives who was named in company with the detective agencv operators, expresses his willingness tu answer to the ac cusations at the first hearing, "Why should I waive the prelim inary hearing?" Maloncy demanded. "I am convinced that the charge against ni.i will be dismissed live minutes after I appear in court. It's simply ridiculous to have me go up there, for 1 am connected in no way with the case." i W. S. Dolan, manager of the Omaha Dctcciive association, is one who will waive tin nreliniinary hear ing. Nothing to Gain. "We have nothiiiK to gain by show ing up for the preliminary hearing," he said. "We know they will hold us over for the next term ot court. If we appearid and introduced our wit nesses and testimony the other aide would learn some of our defense, and if they found out who our witnesses are they might try to get to them some way and, perhaps, influence them.". , , j HarveyWolfe, president of the de tective agency, said all the defendants had made arrangements for their bonds. "We could get bond even 11 it was as high as $100,000," he said. The preliminary hearing at Chad ron has been set for May 31. Cashier of Lion Bonding Company is Missing C. F.

Miller was 26 years old, and had recently been married. His wife is prostrate over his disappearance. "I don't know where or what has be come of him," she said. Miller came well recommended from a Lincoln firm, according to Mr. Shaffer. ' Campaign for Y. M. C. A.
