Pinched on Booze Charge; Blames Beer Truck Driver Joseph Kushner, proprietor of a second-hand store at 1S20 North Twenty-fourth street, was brought before Police Judge Fitzgerald, charged with the illegal possession of intoxicating liquor. The charge con cerned Kushner's keeping the liquor in his store and not in his home. Kushner blames the brewery truck driver for his plight, asserting that on April 25 he ordered the beer, and when the driver came to deliver it there was no one home. The driver then left it at the store and refused to take it back to the house. Kushner couldn't induce any ex pressman to take the goods up to his house for him, so thereby hangs the tale. His case was held over until Saturday. Seven cases of beer were found in his store and confiscated.

Omaha's food conservation army is now correlated into a working unit which will begin Monday morning to assist Food Administrator Herbert C. Hoover in routing gaunthunger and implacable famine from the allied countries and the homes of America. Although Nebraska is one of the last states to organize for this campaign plans are now definitely made for a whirlwind canvass of the housewives of Omaha. Mrs. H. C. Sumney was chosen chairman of the local com mittee at a meeting in the council chamber at the city hall and Miss Gladys Shamp was appointed secre tary and publicity manager. Women Open Headquarters. The new organization lost no time in opei-ing headquarters and prepar ing its drive on extravagant house wives. With the co-operation of the Campfire Girls under the supervision of Mrs. J. W. Robbing, Miss Jessie Towne and Miss Nell Ryan, the women began work ' this morning. Desk room was given the Campfire Girls in the Red Cross headquarters, which will serve the food conserva tion committee also for headquarters. Scoutmaster C. H. English loaned the Boy Scouts maps which were used in the Red Cross campaign to the Campfire girls. These are carefully marked oft into districts with a cer tain' number of pledge cards assigned to each district. Campfire Girls. ' When the Campfire girls begin their canvass they will simply ask the housekeeper to sign the pledge and return it to them. If she wishes a food conservation button and window placard she will pay 10 cents. When the canvass is over these cards will be sent together to Food Administrator Hoover in Washington by express. No fee is required to sign the pledge. It simply denotes that the head of the house who is in charge of the food supply willingly co-operates with the government in carrying out its advire and suggestion in the conservation of food and elimination of waste during the period of the war. It was first thought that Omaha women would have charge of Douglas county, but word from Mrs. A. E. Davisson of Lincoln, chairman of the work in the state, said that they would only be responsible for Omaha. Bee Wants-Ads Produce Results. FALLS SIXTY FEET WITHOUT INJURY Child Hits Hard Ground Below With Force Enough to Kill, But Apparently is Uninjured. Crawling across the bed into a win dow of which the screen was open, and falling three stories to the ground was the fate of the 18 months bid child of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Parker of the Angelus apartments. A de liveryman making deliveries at the apartment heard something hit the ground near him and looking down discovered the child. The father was out of the city and Mrs. Parker was in the room alone with the child, when the screen to which it had crawled suddenly opened, allowing the child to plunge sixty feet to the earth below. The mother immediately ran down stairs and found the deliveryman just picking up the child, which was cry ing . Shortly after Dr. H. M. Fitzgib bons arrived, but could find nothing wrong with the child. It was trans ferred to Lord Lister hospital, but is all right, unless internal injuries de velop later. Experiments made later showed that the child hit with enough force to have been instantly killed. Asks Co-Operation On Stolen Automobiles To further co-operation throughout the state in catching automobile thieves the Omaha Automobile club will insert an advertisement in each of the Omaha newspapers, giving the description of the stolen car. Garage men and auto dealers in Ne braska and Iowa are asked to lend a hand in the plan and keep the descrip tions for reference. By doing this they protect the traveling public which spends 'thousands of dollars a year with them.

Still Raise Fund Novel schemes for raising money for the Red Cross come to light every day. The latest is the plan of the Nemaha county chapter, which has a membership of 4,000, most of whom are German peo ple, and $18,000 in the treasury. The campaign began in June and their quota Is $16,000. Rev. A. Allen Randall of Auburn, Neb., secretary of the chapter, vis ited the Omaha headquarters this morning and said that Red Cross auc tions were the most successful proj ects thero. A calf which was set up for auction in Johnson, Neb., brought $330 for the Red Cross. Each person tried to outbid the other and the amount raised eaoh time was donated by the bidder to the cause. The man raising the bid the highest was given the calf, which in this case was do nated by the winner to the cause. Later it was sold outright at a regular auction for $87. which was also given to the Red Cross. Branches of the Nemaha county chapter have been organized among the women in Peru, Brownville, Brock, Nemaha City, Johnson and a country church named BetheK Yoder In Red Cross Work W. A.
