Self Dedal Buys Ambulance.
Girls at schools all over the country
cjjd their bit for the Red Cross and
war relief in general last year. Few,
however, practised self denial with
Huch; good results as did the girls at
Monticello Seminary. Godfrey, 111.,
ivhere Miss Catherine Hastings,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Byron R.
Hastings of this city, attends.
A majority of the girls voluntarily
deprived themselves of many things
dear to the hearts of misses of high
school age, such as refreshments at
parties, new gloves, ribbons, hats and
other frills. As a consequence of this
ihey saved the sum of $2,000, which
was forwarded last week to Red Cross
headquarters in Chicago for the pur
chase of a Monticello ambulance.
.The head mistress of the school
wrote: "It may interest you to know
that the girls gave up the annual
'prom' the only social function dur
ing the school year to which men are
invited and turned over the money
which it would have cost to the am
bulance fund. This was perhaps the
greatest sacrifice of all."
Another school year will soonvegin
rid girls who have spent the sum
mer at home doing Red Cross work
will go back to their diminished
schools with every sort of idea for
iclping the soldiers abroad. There
will be knitting in spare moments,
Red Cross classes in idle hours and
more saving to be done for hospitals
and ambulances which will be de
manded as .the war progresses.

French Papers Will Raise
Price of Dailies One Cent
Paris, Ang. 8. An Inter-Ministerial
press committee has decided that 1
cent papers shall increase the price
to 2 on August S, when they will be
permitted to appear as four-page
papers iive times weekly instead of
'two as at present. Several papers
question the possibility of solving the
paper crisis on such lines.
The price of paper before the war
was 27 francs. Now it is 105. A
special importation from Scandinavia
is advocated, especially as it is no
longer possible to count on America,
which L'Intransgiente says has more
important freight to send.

HOUSE CANVASS SOON
TO BE COMPLETED
Offices to Be Opened Down
Town, Where Women Who
Were Missed May Sign
the Pledges.
The canva.s of Omaha housewives
for the signing of the food conserva
tion pledge cards is easier than
it was two weeks ago. Due to
the publicity given, women under
stand the nature of the canvass and
show less reluctance to sign the prom
ise to aid the national campaign for
food conservation by watching the
small leaks" in their own households.
In one ' district sixty-five women
wanted to return the card themselves
to Washington and get the button,
which costs 10 cents and which sig
nifies that the wearer has enlisted her
support in this nation-wide campaign.
In one district the worker reported
only one refusal.
Mrs. H. C. Sumney announced that
the house-to-house canvass will be fin
ished up. this week and that it is
planned to install booths in the vari
ous department stores next week to
give all women who have not signed
a chance to do so before the cam
paign is ended. A total of at least
12,000 signers was expected, but pres
ent indications show, that the final
total will greatly exceed this.
Three machines full of workers
went to. finish certain districts in the
north part of town. Mrs. H. C. Sum
ney, Mrs.vE. W. Robbins, Mrs. Forest
Richardson and Misses Ruth Hatter
oth and Camilla Edholm were among
these.
Governors to Talk
Over Coal Prices
On August 16
Chicago, Aug. 6. Practically all of
the governors of sixteen states from
Pennsylvania to Kansas had respond
ed favorably today to an invitation
extended yesterday by the Illinois
Council of Defense to attend a con
ference in Chicago on August 16 for
the purpose of bringing about a uni
form regulation of 'the price of coal. -
While the State Council of Defense
recommended to Governor Frank O.
Lowden seizure of the coat mines in
Illinois for the period of the war as
a means of reducing prices, the hope
was expressed that the states of the
central west will join in urging con
gress to enact a law that will confer
full and sweeping powers of control
over coal prices' and distribution in an
administrative body of the federal
government which would have ma
chinery to give instant relief.
Among the state which it is ex
pected will be represented are Iowa,
Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota and
North and South Dakota.
Perfect Floating Palace
Becomes Hospital Ship
The "France IV," on which Miss
Jessie Millard crossed the Atlantic
four years ago this month, is now a
hospital ship, plying its mission of
mercy in the waters of the Mediter
ranean. Miss Millard recalls the lux
urious furnishings of the ship and the
delightful entertainment furnished the
passengers in those days of peaceful
pursuits.
"The 'France IV was a perfect
floating palace," said Miss; Millard.
"We were given the most delightful
entertainment while on board. Anna
Held and Bruce McRae were a couple
of the artists who made the hours
nass pleasantly. Now the Red Cross
adorns the great funnels' of the
France IV and the gayety of four
years ago has given place to long
rows ot nospitai cois ana inc silliness

Military Idea Predominates
In the World of Fashions
Throw away your lingerie blouses
girls I And be sure to button up your
coats jfight clear up to the chin and
then some! .
The military idea is the craxe now
in the world of fashion I Everything
is trim and taught. And buttoned up,
very much so.
Long straight coats with one or
two rows of buttons running down
the front for the only trimming are
the feature of the new fall suits. The
high collar fastens closely about the.
throat and turns over in military style.
The frills and ruffles, the big fancy
collars and fussy belts and, trimmings
are doomed.
Get your fall suit as near like your
brother's new uniform and you will
be in the fashion swim, Short skirts
and hich boots add to the military
appearance of the 1917-18 fashion dis
play." .
A pretty idea is the revival of the
cape, another result ot. military in
fluence. Every few years the cape ap
pears, but heretofore it has never
superseded the useful coat.
, But never have there been, such
pretty models as the 1917 fall styles.
Pretty military blues, rich soft plaids
and the familiar khaki colored ones
give avariety to suit all tastes.
