THE BEE: OMAHA. WEDNESDAY, JULY 5ft. iyi7. 7 UgJ July 24 :fc Jumble Sale in London. Just what Mellificia suggested a long time ago might be done in Omaha is being done in London,' or rather was done the first week o( July for the benefit of national baby week in. England. A young Ameri can woman, Lady Guy Chetwynd, who was at one time Miss Rosalind Secor of New York, was the author of the scheme. From all herv fash ionable friends she collected every beautiful thing that she could and added to that any amount of treas ure trove from her own boxes and cupboards. When this had been accomplished every one who was any one gathered at her handsome place in Park Lane and bought wonderful garments and beautiful household linen and china v and silver and kitchen utensils and -traby linens at bargain prices. As the'hostess expressed it, it was "just like a real old-fashioned rummage sale, such as I remember used to take place in the little town in New York state where I was born and brought up. Of course, that it was held in Park Lane made it rather piquant, but though it had more or less lux uriant surroundings and the articles to be disposed of were all rather ex travagant, the prices paid for them were trifling." A good round sum resulted for the cause. Such events as this society charit able fixture occupy the time of Lon don notables in the interim between the terror ot falling Hun bombs. ' Americans play an important part in the affairs of the nation and lend their energetic aid not only to the armies of England, but to the charit able ad social enterprises of the country.

Summer flowers formed the centerpiece .for the table. Girl in Gingham Gown Up-To-Date in Summer Furs ''She wore a gingham gown." So the old song goes. Of course, she leaned over a farm yard gate swinging a sunbonnet in her hand, and Pardon a slight error in the picture. Here it stands corrected: - She drove a high-power car down a fashionable street and leaned out to speak to a dashing, young officer as she passed. About her shoulders she wore ,a queer little black plush cape, with chenille tails dangling from it.' But she wasn't a dowdy old woman, with dragging skirt and hat of an tique vintage. No, indeed, her skirts were ultra-short and her hat was the envy of the Sixteenth street shoppers. i i .(. i-.--. cio, or course, it inusi uc inc laicsi thing that eirp'e! But it looked warm those summer furs. HAS TEMPORARY CHARGE OF MOTOR DRIVERS. Mrs. Earl Stanfield is the tempo rary chairman of the motor driving section of the national league for woman's service during the absence of Mrs. Louise Clarke, who is visiting in Alexander, Minn. NEW STATE LAWS ARE NOWIN EFFECT No More Sunday Shaves for Omahans; Flagstaff s Over All Institutions of Learning. By A. R. GROH. What would we do without our leg islature, fellow citizens? That noble band of high-browed Solons, toiling away within the cracked but hallowed walls of the state capitol at Lincoln, has brought forth new laws to gov ern 'uSj T1k supply of wheat and meat may be in jeopardy at times, but the supply of laws never fails. Every two years we get a new and abundant and never-failing crop. Today the new laws go intoffect. You have already been told that, be ginning next Sunday, you must shave yourself or go unshaved. For the statesmen at Lincoln, after due delib eration and earnest debate, have de clared that the work of barbers is "not a work of necessity or charity," and, therefore, not to be permitted on the Sabbath day. Another of the laws which our duly elected statesmen gave us last winter, and which takes effect today,- "re quires an institution- of learning to erect and maintain a flagstaff not less than twenty feet high and painted white." A beneficent law' How have we lived so long when, perhaps, not all our institutions of learning had flag staffs? Must Be White. And more, my fellow citizens! An other thought obtrudes itself. Per hapswho knows it is quite possible that s c of our institutions. of c n ing have flagstaffs twenty feet h.Ji, but but painted yellow or panned bluel Hitherto there was no law guaranteeing that flagstaffs at insLi tutions of learning must be painted white. A grave defect iu our laws which now, fortunately, has been rem died. Henceforth we can rest in peace. Our statesmen,' in convention assem bled and after due deliberation upon this momentous question, have de creed that flagstaffs at least flag staffs on institutions of learning shall be painted white. And should any institution of learning erect a flagstaff and paint it some other color, the swift hand of the law will descend upon that law-defying institution of learning and compel it to paint it flagstaff white. The people have spoken through their duly elected rep resentatives and the law must be obeyed. There is nothing said, however, of the necessity of keeping a flag floating from the flagstaff. The flagstaffs must be erected and they must be painted white. That is all the law says. And "institutions of learning." What are they? Are the business col leges institutions of learning? Cer tainly. How about the barber col leges? Surely. Are they not institu tions where students learn the tonsor ial art? These institutions of learning which have their quarters in down-town of fice buildings may be hard put to find a site for their flagstaffs. Perhaps they can get permission to plant them on the sidewalk. A way will be found. For the law must be obeyed. Another new law provides a fine of $100 to $.300 and imprisonment of three to six months, for "joy riders." Very good, Eddie. Another permits county boards to contribute to the support of ."blind persons free from vicious habits." An other gives townships and counties power to employ a community nurse. I Omaha has been doing that for years. ! St1lOOL8 AND t SAINT MARY'S COLLEGE TERRACE HEIGHTS, WINONA, MINNESOTA Accredited to the University of Minnesota An ideal Boarding School for your son.

Some time within a few days a girl will calf at your house and ask you to sign a card pledging your support to the movement. , No. very exacting de mands are made uponi you if you do pledge; in fact, the very reasonable ness of the requests makes some people underestimate their impor tance., You promise to follow the directions, given by the govern ment in bulletins to come, inso far as your circumstances permit. Mr. Hoover realizes that it is diffi cult for every family to follow cast iron rules, so he, allows for the com mon sense and conscientiousness of the average American woman when her patriotism is aroused. Thus, if some one particular direction should prove impossible for your own case you could still consider yourself a loyal citizen if you follow the direc tions in the main. For instance, in cases of illness many rules could not be followed, or in certain parts of the country it is almost impossible to use fruits and vegetables in great abundance, though such districts are not numerous. The ' first pledge card carries no Specific requests, but Mr. Hoover has laid down certain principles which, we may feel rather sure will .buttressed. . '. ' ' Save the Wheat. The aim is to cut down American consumption of wheat 30 per cent, which means that the average house hold should use one-third less wheat bread or one wheatless meal a day. The family that enjoys rye bread has its problem almost solved, though a wheatless meal would mean one without cake or pastry. A wheat less breakfast is not difficult to plan if one likes the innumerable break fast foods made of corn, rice, barley, etc. The old-fashioned cornbread is coming back into its own, and we are reviving many recipes of our grand mothers. The custom of cutting bread at table is an excellent one; for the extra slice or two left on the plate formerly was a waste, perhaps, and now is something to be "used up" and anything "used up" Imeans extra thought in preparation. The bakers have wisely forced conserva tion on the housewife in that she must now order her bread of her grocer a day in advance. For the gro cer cannot return the unsold loaves now; hence he will not haveunused bread on his lian'd. No woman should complain of the foresight necessary, Your Limbs Unsightly Hair White Stockings Most women do not realize that super fluous hair on the limbs shows through dark colored stockings as well as white. This makes It plain why welt groomed women use De Miracle for removing hair from the limbs as well as the face, neck, arms and under arms.

For many years nutrition people and many of the medical profes sion have urged upon the American people less consumption of meat. Now a national situation brings that same request from a totally different viewpoint. We are asked by the gov ernment to serve . meat but once a day upon our table, and to have one day a week a meatless day. Fish is not included in this request so that fish may be used 'on the meatless day. Also we are urged to conserve the young animals by refusing to buy veal or lamb or ycWg pig. The ani mal at maturity is of greater value as a source of meat. It is suggested that we cut down the'stc.aks and use more stews and braised meats. I presume the reason is that we couW well cut down on the amount of meat even at the meat meal: and stews, and like dishes "go farther." Save the Milk. With the proviso that you do not save on the children'9 diet. A quart of milk a day for every "young child is a good rule for war times as well as peace times. We are urged to use every drop of sour milk in-cooking and to use buttermilk -in cooking if it is available. Save the Sugar. We use three times as much sugar as the allies. Why not satisfy our selves with the natural fruit sugars in fruits, especially at this season of the year, when fruits are in such abund ance? Yet the making of jellies and jams containing sugar is encouraged because jams spare the butter, and save the fruits, for use later. Save the Fat. The American nation is a great de votee of fried foods,' which are (con sidered a tax on the strong digestion, and an impossibility for the weak one. Hence less fried food is a real health CLEARANCE SALE WEAR A DIAMOND AND FINE WATCH WHEN YOU GO ON YOUR VACATION You'll b laying up money every lima you make payment.

We must turn to the fat substi tutes for cooking and save the butter for table usage. There are many sub stitutes with different flavors and if you do not like the first one you try, do not be discouraged.

Use the Perishable Foods; With so much urging not to do things, it is a positive relief to find something we are encouraged to do. Again, health experts have long preached the gospel of more fruits and vegetables and now war demands are pushing their doctrines. Twice as great consumption of garden foods is none too great in the average house hold. .Of course, one can never omit the other foods entirely, but when cutting down amounts and kinds '"of foods it is wise to add to the bulk of the plentiful ones.
