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.

Girl in Gingham Gown Up-To-Date

''She wore a gingham gown."
So the old song goes. Of course,
she leaned over a farm yard gate

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

were ultra-short and her hat was the

NEW STATE LAWS
ARE NOWIN EFFECT
No More Sunday Shaves for

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. !

Food Conservation Drive
This week in Omaha the Camp
fire girls and many others are mak
ing a drive to enlist, the women of
the community 1 in the great food
conservation campaign. 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,

Save the Meat.
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

idea. We must turn to the fat substi

for table usage. There are many sub

you do not like the first one you try,
do not be discouraged. As a war

is suggested, to utilize every particle

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

the other foods entirely, but when
