MAKE BLANKETS OF
WOOL YARN SCRAPS
Woman's Service League Plans
to Make Covers for Soldiers
Out of Left-Over Bits
of Material.
TEKAMAH BOY WHO
TO ANNAPOLIS.
GOES
Scraps of wool yarn will be util
ized at the National League for
Woman's Service to make blankets
for soldiers. Many girls have bits
of bright-colored yarn left from the
ever-popular sweater which all of
feminine ypung Omaha has been knit
ting this summer Everyone who has
these left over bits is urged to bring
them to the headquarters in the First
National Bank building.
The making of these wool blankets
will probably fill a special field for
young girls who are just learning the
intricate ways of knitting, especially
since the making of cotton washcloths
and eve bandages, upon which girls
formerly worked, has been discon
tinued. ,
Knitting experts at, the National
league headquarters believe that they
have devised the most economical
and practicable system for knitting
marching socks possible. The tops
of these socks are made on a knitting
machine and the feet are knitted by
hand.' The hand-knit feet are the best
wearing and most comfortable, but
the hand knit tops take up much
more yarn and furnish a superior
quality of work where such quality
is not needed. i ,
Save Yarn. ,
Machine knit, one and one-half
hanks of yarn will make two pairs of
socks, while hand knit, it takes one
und one-quarter hanks to make one
pair, according to observations made
by the knitters.
Maify women are taking advantage
of the opportunity to learn knitting
and the classes conducted in the head
quarters of the National League for
Woman's Service continue. The
.lasses run from 10 till 12 on five
days of the week. The schedule of
.davs and instructors is as follows:
Monday, Mrs. Theodore Sinhold;
Tuesday, Miss Elizabeth Muir; Wed
nesday, Miss Hedric Rosenstock;
Thursday. Mrs. James B. Butter;
Fridav, Mrs. A. King. , ,
THis instruction is in hand knitting.
Two knitting machines which have
been installed in the headquarters
are operated by Mrs. F. A. Klenke.
Women Take Men's Places ,
At Watchmakers Bench
Women are beginning to take up
.watchmaking, and A. F. Smith, head
of the A. F. Smith Wholesale Jewelry
company of Omaha, says they make
excellent workmen at this difficult
trade.
The problem of getting enough
workmen in this cratt iS daily grow
ing more difficult ror over a year
this has been a oroblem. Ihe muni
tion factories first took a lot of these
men. because thev were highly skilled,
technical workmen, and could readiljc.
adjust themselves to the minute work
of .making shells and other munitions.
Now, with the enlistments, the
ftruft ami tli fimtiv munition and
other factories calling for men. watch
makers are growing still more scarce.
"I have advertised from coast to coast
r .-i i m j if ' c.;tv.
i or waiciiuiatKcrs, nm wi. ounm,
"and still cannot get them. I believe
now that more women should go into
this line of work. Those who -nave
already gone into it are making good
in fine shape. The women prove
themselves to be verv careful workers,
They are accustomed to fine work of
this kind, such as fancy eedlt work,
and other work requiring careful
training of the eye. This gives them
pn initial advantaue over the men
There is a school in Omaha in which
the women can learn watchmaking,
It takes from nine months to a year
tn-become a cood watchmaker, and
I believe a lot of women could greatly
: increase their earning power by tak
ing up this work. Girls who are get
ting $8 or $12 a week now, could be
setting $18 to $25 a week after com
pleting their course of training in this
work. That is what we will have to
come to, for we just cannot get the
men." , . t
Arguments in Hearing of
Strike Case Are Finished
Attorneys have finished their argu
ments in the hearing on the applica
tion for a temporary injunction in the
strike case and Judge Leslie, Judge
Kedick and Judge Sears, sitting in
equity court, will hand down a de
cision Saturday.

ing the state, who invoked the Jun
kin act June 18 and obtained a tern
norary restraining order against the
Business Men's association' and
Omaha unions, alleging unlawful acts
in restrain of trade, argued in sup
port of fifty-nine affidavits charging
the labor organizations with con
spiracies and violations of the court
' order.
Each of the three sides the at
torney general's legal forces, attor
neys for the Business Men's associa
tion and counsel lor tne unions
vas allowed one hour for arguments,
The judges took the case under ad
visement
If a temporary injunction is al
lowed the case will be beard on its
merits later.

In "Sarcastic Wanner"
l Roy L. Hobson, clerk, 2562 Sprague
street, suing; Freda L. Hobson for di
vorce in district court, alleges she
treated him in a "sneering, haughty
and sarcastic manner and then went
out on "parties" with other men. He
says she frequently entertained other
men at their home despite his objec
tions. A co-respondent is named. The

Besides contributing a large num
ber of boys to enlistment 'by volun
teering before the draft law went into
ffect, Tekamah now has the honor
of sending a boy to the naval acad
emy at Annapolis. Joseph Van Cleve,
son of W. H. Van Cleve, clerk of the
district court, took the examination
some weeks ago as an alternate. The
fact that Joe passed the examinations
successfully and that his principal
also did makes him pleased, but not so
much as the fact that Congressman
Dan Stephens had written to him that
he would recommend him for the ex
tra appointment that has been given
each congressman because ot war
pressure, joe received a telegram
from the Navy department Monday
to report at once and he left the same
vening for Annapolis.

To Recruit the Sixth
To Full War Strength
A teleKram has been received by
officers of the Omaha battalion of the
Sixth regiment from Colonel Hall,
granting them the privilege of recruit
ing up to lull war strength. J. his I
means ISO to a company, with seventy-five
for the machine gun com
pany. A few days ago the orders went
out to let up on the enlisting, but this
message rescinds that.
But one man in the machine gun
company of the Sixth was rejected
after the physical examination. This
was Edward L. Smyth, son of 'Judge
C J. Smyth of Omaha. Young Smyth
was greatly disappointed at his rejec
tion, but it is a consolation to him, he
says, that the machine gun company

list ready to take his place. His re-1
jection was caused by slightly defec

The prospect of army grub holds
terrors for Omaha soldier boys
ready to depart for training camps.
Not yet. Only visions of bountiful
tables, laden with all thevgood things
there are to eat, provided by kind.
though heavy-hearted women-folks.
for the rest of their stay, looms large
on their mental horizon.
The way to a man's heart is
through his stomach," is old "stuff"
to these women, age-wise in what men
like to eat.
The pie feast Friday afternoon, pro
vided by the commissariat of the Na
tional League for Woman's Service,
is one of the big feeds in prospect for
the boys, rriday evening at 8 o clock
at Bohemian Turner hall women of
the Bohemian National Alliance,

will give a farewell entertainment and
supper for 100 soldiers of Bohemian
descent who are in the Fifth and Sixth
regiments. To cap the enjoyment of
the evening, there will be dancing.
The hall is on Thirteenth and Martha.
And then there is the big barbecue
for all the soldiers at Riverview park
Saturday.
A chicken' dinner and smoker for
machine gun company of the Sixth
regiment will be given Wednesday
evening at All Saints' parish house by
the women of the church, btanley

City to Decide Between
Noisy Cows and Crying Babies
The city council was brought face
to face with the alternative of whether
it would te better for residents near
Thirty-ninth and Charles streets to
suomu 10 eariy morning oeuowings
of four cows or be disturbed by the
waitings of infants cryjng for milk.
Protest was made against the ma
tutinal vocalizations of a bovine quar
tet whose owner supplies lacteal fluid
to the neighborhood. In these days
ot tood stress the city commission
ers, believe the noisy cows represent
the lesser of the two evils.

to hairy surface and after 2 or 8
minutes rub off,- wash the skin and
the hairs are gone. This is painless,
inexpensive i method . and, excepting
where the growth is unusually thick,
a single application is enough. Top
