"They Also Serve" Who Stay Behind and Work
Omaha (or $.1,067, the .ost of fleeting
thiee municipal judges at the last
primaries and gen'ral election. Coun
ty Attorney Maguey and Chief
Deputy County Attorney Abhott 6'ed
the suit on behalf of the county.
No Time or Toilet Articles.
How do you suppose these spick
and span young men of our city who
hare gone into the various branches
of Uncle Sam's service manage to
keep in apple pie order all the time?
More than one Omaha mother is
wondering that just now. Mrs. J.
R. Inskster, whose son. Robert, is at
Port Royal in the marine corps, for
warded to him his toilet articles, in
cluding a set of military brushes, but
even though he is in a military train
ing camp he had no place for mili
tary brushes. He sent home every
thing but a soap holder, a handker
chief case and a coat hanger.
This young man is the descendant
of forebears who have served as offi
cers in some of the great naval vic
tories of history. His great grand
father, also a Robert Inkster, was
captain in the royal British navy
when the English took Gibraltar. An
other Robert Inkster, father of this
sea-faring captain, was an officer in
the same navy. When the present
Robert's time came to enlist it was
only natural that ' he chose this
branch of the service.
Thirty per cent of the men at Port
Royal are from Chicago. Robert Ink
ster is anxious that many more
Omaha men will enlist in the ma
rines. They are having the time of
their lives, enjoying the work, the
play, the outing and the scenery
around the camp. On their daily
hikes the young marines pass through
fields gorgeous with poppies.
Another Omaha boy is making
good at Port Royal. He is Edwin
Gould, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry
R. Gould. This young chap has been
made a corporal, an honor to be
proud of, because he is not so old as
the majority of men in the huge sta
tion. He, too, had no room in his
knaDsack for such things as brushes
and combs and so he sent them home
until after the war.
The story is told, give it credence
if you wish, that Victor and John
Caldwell struggled with the difficulty
of combining camp life with society
and came off conquerors. The two,
so the story goes, were invited to a
fashionable Minneapolis wedding.
Since men in training are not allowed
to go anywhere except in uniform,
they were in a pretty predicament.
' They could not appear in their soiled
uniforms and they had no others. Fi
nally this scheme was evolved. They
went to a hotel in the city and there
laundered their khaki suits in the bath
tub. Next they sent, for a cleaning
establishment to call for the suits to
dry and press them.' The result was
that these two,, fashionable young
men went to the wedding looking as
handsome and tailored as two sarto
rial models. '

Another simple' June wedding was

"The Red Cross," said the mother of
-three young men who have just put on
the khaki, "is my training camp. It is
for me my military duty. It gives me a
chance to be a soldier with my sons.
"Sometimes a company from the ar
mory or a band of boy scouts marching
with fife anil drums passes my window.
Looking at them I see tn my mind all
our hoys at all our training camps, learn
ing their new lessons, testing their en
durance. And we mothers can't take
care of tbcni. IheyVe gone into their
man's world.
"I think I can imagine some of the
emotions that are being born in them.
They are so young their eyes are misty,
sometimes, as they march. Already they
mnst look sometimes into the soldiers'
immortality at guard mount taps on
last Memorial Day.
"It is hard to be a woman. Tet, if it
were not for me these three clear eyed
boys with their straight backs, their
flushed, damp faces and their passion
ate young idealism would not exist Be
cause of me there are tliree soldiers serv
ing the colors.
Red Cross Workshops Are the Humanitarian Plattsburis in Which Woman Are
Doing a Bit Comparable in Importance to That of the Men in Training.
"It is glorious to be a woman.
"I take up my sewing bos and sew a
little red cross on the jacket of the
pajamas I am making, and wonder who
will wear it and what the red cross will
make him think of. Curiously, even if
my boys are in the hospital to which this
garment goes, I want it to be worn by
some other mother's boy; and I want my
boys to wear the things made by some
other mother. Some way it seems to me
to make motherhood go deeper.
"Perhaps It will be worn by some
black man or some black boy from
Africa who will think it Is funny: per
haps some young French officer; per
haps some Italian peasant, llks my ice
man; perhaps soma wounded German
prisoner and 1 hare the privilege of

Readers, I give you the pleasure
today of being introduced to Janet.
Janet is a bright, serious, lively, golden-haired,
rosy-cheeked little girl of 7
summers, going on 8.
She was down at Carter lake the
other day, the guest of Dr. and Mrs.
Fickcs, and in ihe course of the day,
while adventuring too close to the
water, she fell in.
Dr. Fickes was right there with the
hero -slulf. He jumped in and rescued
her. while she was drying out at the
.Fickes home he told her a fanciful
story winch was about "a little girl
who was fishing in a lake and fell in."
When he was through she smiled that
funny little smile of hers and said:
1 wisn youd tell me that over
again, because I'll tell you I have
a friend on The Bee and maybe he will
put it in tne paper.
So here, you see, Janet, it is right
in the paper.
Janet Can Sing Too.
You ought to hear Janet sing the
little song about the "two little chip
munks." She calls them "chipinumps."
Here's the way it goes;
Two little chipmunks,
Sitting on a rail, Btttlnf on a rail.
Each had a fluffed-out
Feather for a tall, feather for a tall.
One hopped down
And went to town
With a letter for a man, letter for a man.
The tune runs like this:
Tum-tt-tl-lum-tum
Tum-tl-lum-tl-tum, tum-tl-tum-tl-tum.
You understand, don't you?
One cool day this spring she
brought home a butterfly which could
not fly. She sat patiently by the regis
ter and warmed it. When she had to
start for school she left it in charge
of her mother with the injunction,
"Buddy, take good care of it, because,
you know, it's one of God's creatures."
That same day she had seen a fish
worm lying on the sidewalk. Some
boys were prodding it with sticks.
Worms Eat Fish.
"But, Buddy, 1 didn't feci a bit sorry
for it," she told her mother, "because
the boys said they eat the fish. I
wouldn't want them to eat our gold
fish." One evening she sat on the porch
and suddenly drew a long breath and
exclaimed, "Oh, but this has been a
blessed day I"
Two little bovs of the neighborhood.
Carl and William, are on the list of
her juvenile admirers. 1 hey give
her candy and Christmas presents.
Carl is accustomed to wait and walk
home from school with her when she
allows him to. One day he knocked
at the door of her room and when
the teacher opened, he looked up
naively and said, "I just wanted to
ask how Janet is."
Carl called Easter morning before
the family was up to present Janet
with a small basket containing a hig
chocolate egg, decorated with a flag.
William was on the job a little
later with a chocolate rabbit which
he humbly offered to his divinity.
And you ought to see Janet dance.
It's just the cutest sight you ever saw.

inaugurated a new scheme to raise
money for the payment of the church

To prove that you are Alt Saints' friend
A foot of pennies kindly Bend.
For pennies into dollars Brow
And dollars make the church debt go.
