, War Relief Work Comes First
That women in other cities have
not yet attained the patriotic heights
reached by Omaha women of society, !
is evidenced by the perusal of a hi-,
cago society sheet, wherein the so- j
ctol mentor exhorts her readers as 1
fallows: ' j
"There is one thing American
women ignore, and that is the urgent
necessity of making all war relief
work lake precedence of literally
everything else in life family, busi
ness, society. It is still not unusual
to hear a woman say: 'I'm sorry I
can't come to the committee meeting;
I've a luncheon engagement.' Noth
ing short, of illness and death should
be allowed to interfere with what
ever task has been assumed by the
individual that has to do with war
relief work." '
This is quite a different condition
than exists in Omaha. A prominent
matron, whose invitations it is a
pleasure to accept, so enjoyable are
her functions, said:
"Whenever I extend invitations for
luncheon or bridge nowadays, in
variably the woman I am asking will
say: '
" 'Let me see, is it my Red Cross
day or not?' And if it is, myinvita
tion is declined. Of if any woman
has a day to give knitting instructions
or to help in the canteen at Fort
Omaha or at National Service league
rooms, no social event, nowever ai
luring, is permitted to interfere."

Zofia Popular Polish Name.
So many Omahans commented, on
the similarity of the names of- Miss
Zofia Naimska,'v the young Polish
woman connected with the Damrosch
music institute in New York who will
talk on Polish war relief Saturday
evening at 8 o'clock at Brownell Hall,

Naimska, who is on the musical fac
ulty of Brownell. On account of the
relationship, this fact is not so curi
ous as the recurrence of the mime

Women Balk on Passing
' - Marguerite Clark Film
Whether to pass a Marguerite Clark
film, "Out of the Drifts," is bothering
the movie censors of the Omaha Wo
man's club educational committee,
headed by Mrs. W. S. Knight. The
picture was ordered by the manager
ot the Lothroo theater, to substitute
for another film which did not meet
the approval of the club women for
their family program Friday evening.
. Wnen the first picture was cen
sored I thought surely trere could
be no question of the properity of a
Marguerite Clark picture, said the
nustrated manager.
Those who have seen the film say H
is the only dubious film tn which the
popular screen actress has ever ap
oeared.
Whether the picture will be shown
Friday night is still in doubt
The Suburban theater will show
Willard Mack in Aloha and a com
edy. and the Apollo theater Marie OS'
borne in "Tears and Smiles and a
Black Diamond comedy.

Are You Punctual
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
"Better late than never" is the
motto of too many women. To elirm
nate. waste lives ought to be run on
schedules almost as trains are.
A time-table by which to live may
sound trightfully unromantic. but
boat can manage to go by just as
many beautiful green shores when it
starts promptly at 12 as it would i
it didn't go until a quarter of 1. Really,
it is making up time that forces trains
to dash carelessly through wonderful
country and that drives both tooting
and hooting and belching clouds of
gray smoke by the green glory of the
Palisades. s
The only way to have plenty of
leisure to observe the scenery by the
way is to start early! Writers galore,
from Mark Twain up and down, have
talked about the amount of time being
prompt wastes for you while you are
waiting tor the other fellow who isn
so prompt. And yet it is better to be
the chap who arrives on time and
who can sit and reflect than the one
who-rushes in flurried and breathless
and apologetic. ThcSvorst offenders
against the right of the clock are
women. They letso many things dc
lay them. Who hasn't waited in the
lobby of the store through a long
nerve-wrecking half hour and then
have the other woman arrive with a
flurried: Have J kept you waiting,
my dear? I'm so sorry but I realiv
didn t think you d be on time or 1
would have hurried a little more.
Why not think the other chap is
going to be on timer Why make an
appointment for 12:30, tucking away
in your mind a mental reservation
that you really must be there by 1?
New York hostesses have gotten in
the habit of setting the dinner
hour for 7:30, telling the cook to
be ready by 8 and asking the kindlv
fates to grant that the guests mav
arrive by 8:301 Movable schedules
like that arc bound to waste time for
someone.
The proper resepct for five minutes
and all its possibilities is a mark of
real ability. 1 he man who is hon
estly efficient and who occupies a posi
tion o importance in the business
world knows the value of his own
every minute and respects tne mo
ments of his associates.
There arc a good many contribut
mg causes to the casual attitude
women have toward time. First of
all they know perfectly well that if
they aren t late they will probably
have- to wait tor the other woman,
Secondly,, there are so many delaying
trifles in' the life of the average
woman. Hie cook may want to dis
cuss the quality of vegetables the gro
cer is senc'ing in."
Baby may cut her finger just as
mother is ready to go out, and, of
course, mother must stay to bind, it
up and kiss, and make it well. The
telephone rings, a car is just missed;
some incident distracts and, delays,
and time slips by while the woman
who is wasting it has not conscious
ness of her extravagance and unbusi
nesslike casualness.
A friend of mine who has the habit
of tardiness excused himself (yes,
sometimes men are offenders, too) by
saying that he was frightfully op
timistic about the number of things
that could be accomplished between
12 and 1 and that he always liked to
finish up what he was doing before
he went on to the next event on the
calendar. He was notorious for tardi
ness. Suddenly and without warning
he began to appear everywhere on
time.
"How do you do it?" gasped an
amazed world, which was not in the
habit of wasting its time by keeping
appointments -promptly with Jim
Travers.
"How do I do t? Oh. I just look
at my watch once in a while and re
member that the other tellow has a
few things to do, too. I start my day
a little earlier and I keep it going a
little later. And I sort of remind my
self that time belongs to the other fel
low, too."
Time does belong to the other fel
low, too. To waste his time is wan
tonly selfish. But from an egocentric
point of view, you waste even more
than time when you fail to keep ap
pointments promptly. You lose op
portunity. You miss the chance to
impress practical people witn your
trustworthiness and accuracy. You
set yourself down as one of those
trivial, casual folk to whom nothing
big can be trusted.
Do you suppose an architect wno
had a big contract to sublet would
give it to a contractor who came late
to three consultations? How would
he dare? There is a forfeit, clause to
buildine contracts but at that, the
architect would recognize, that time
was even more than money to the
firm who wanted their building done
nn time. "
All the oeoole who have big jobs to
let out want to give them to reliable
men who nave proven inemscivcs
faithful in little thines and who can
be trusted to put big undertakings
through on time.
