By MELLIFICIA-Oct. 12.
For Jewish Relief Fund.

Men's and Young women's Hebrew

was heard on every side before tre
Ak-Sar-Bcn lunch rooms wete
opened by two groups of church wo
men of the city. But with the sum
of $700 in the bank to the credit of
st. Mary s Avenue Congregational
Church and $225 reported to be ap
proximately the sum taken in at the
Temple Israel Sisterhood lunch
room by Mrs. J. B. Katz who had the
matter in charge, pessimists must ad
mit that although the people of
Omaha are being asked for money on
every hand in these strenuous times,
they are still willing to give to a
church fund when good, home cooked
edibles are given in exchange.
Mrs. O. T. Eastman and Mrs. John
G. Kuhn who conducted the "quick
lunch" in the Keeline building last
week are two very tired but very
jubilant women for they feel that
their hard labor and the efforts put
forth by the women on the different
committee who stayed up nights to
cook and bake pies, to say nothing
of serving all day long, were well
worth while.
Temple Israel Sisterhood members,
who conducted the lunch room on
Farnam street during the two busiest
days of the week, also feel that the
harvest was well worth the labor
and will probably be eager to open
one next year on a larger scale.

Soliloquy of Modern Eve
They are all Americans now the Blues and
the Grays as their grandsons march away
under. the Stars and Stripes : : : :
ADELAIDE KEJfJTEBLY,
WHERE have our Rebs in gray
all gone and where are our Yanks
in blue?
The have melted thti. hatred
and buried the Mason and Dixon
line under thegreat banner the
Stars and Stripes of America. The
hearts of the grays and the hearts
of the blues have turned to their
grandsons, all in khaki brown.
To a true American the feeling
that existed in the south since the
'civil war was a disgrace, to the
union. The unjust accusations and
harsh criticisms flung at the grand
fathers of the present generation
were the cause of many a fight.
To hear the southerner laughing
ly tell that he was 21 and traveled
before he knew damnyankee should
be spelled as two words made the
average northerner turn away in
disgust. But when the southerner,
on the other hand, listened to criti
cisms of his treatment of the negro
by the descendants of his civil war
opponents his already hot blood
boiled. .Their statements were
based largely on hearsay and most
of them were without foundation.
So the blues hated the grays and
the grays hated the blues; a hatred
bred during the conflict of the '60s.
And why? Why was there such
a vivid line between the north and
south in the minds of the blues and
the grays?
Because they were all too sec
tional tn their views. Because
they were all too local and talked
glibly on subjects of which they
knew nothing.
Some advanced thi history argu
ment. They read history and- from
certain books formed their entire
set of opinions. Southerners, read
southern history in which every bat
tle they lost was a base violation of
.human right bj the north, and
'every southern victory a glorious
achievement. Northerners read
northern history in which every
northern victory was brilliantly
fought for; their methods were al
ways justifiable and their deeds
heroic and gallant.
To learn of the brutalities of the
north we had only to read southern
history, and to learn that southern
ers were not all white-whiskered
gentlemen to the "manner born."
but a lot of low-down scoundrels,
we read no-thern history. For his
tory is merely someone's opinion.
Actual travel broadens and it has
helped to dim the Mason and Dixon
line. But even unto the third and
fourth generation a bitter memory
lingered. Now one great sorrow,
one great grief has wiped it out al
most entirely. -
With tear-dimmed eyes veterans
of the civil war are waving adieu to
their grandsons as they march off
to fight in the world's great battle.
They are all Americans no north
and south and the blues and the
grays clasp hands as they watch
their descendants go forth in khaki
brown, the symbol of one Rreat
union their hatred buried under
the Stars and Stripes, that shall
wave forever it. the hearts of all
true Americans.
Solvina Servant Problem
For Women of the West
Over 80 per cent of us must do
without a maid, either because there
are not enough to go around or on
account of lack of means. It seems
necessary, then, to equip our homes
with as many conveniences as pos
sible, and in this way do away with
the hard work.
V; do not need to ask a vacuum
c' er or a power washing machine
wi.Jther they would like to work in
the country or not. neither do they
have to have Thursday afternoon and
every Sunday off; they are always
"on the job" when needed.
We have the bread mixer, tireless
cooker, dustless mop, and sometimes
the electric iron, washing machine,
sewing machine, toaster and grill,
and before long we hope the current
for electric stoves will be reasonable
enough in price that people in ordi
nary circumstances will feel able to
afford them.
It is easier in a well-equipped home
to have and keep servants, and where
they are impossible to get, the equip
ment lightens the labor.
Of course proper consideration for
the servants in the home by the mis
trees ancT children will do much to
keep them contented. Put yourself
in the maid's place; try to see things
from her point of view. Do you en
joy a word of commendation? So
does your maid.
Neither is it natural for a young m
person to be so in love with work
that she does not enjoy a play time.
All work and no play makes Jill a dull
girl.
Children in well ordered homes
have their tasks to perform, which not
only develop character, but dependa
bility and efficiency. Boys as well as
girls need training in housekeeping;
they will make a good start in citi
zenship by learning how to do things
in the home, and being expected to v.
perform those duties whether they
feel like it or not. Exchange.

Have no misgivings about your furs,
dear lady, for the great dyeing and
dressing establishment for the world's
products in hides and pelts has been
transferred from London to St Louis,
en bloc, and beginning Monday, Oc
tober 8, a public auction sale of raw
furs will attract the attention of the
whole world. Sealskins are to be fea
tured and hundreds of thousands of
real seal, as well as close imitations,
will find their way, through various
avenues of distribution, ttf the ward
robe of milady fair.
For the first time irt the history of
commerce Uruguay has sent the seal
skins from the Lobos island herd to
this country for sale and that repub
lic has also sent a government official
as representative to attend the sale,
observe commercial conditions and re
port especially upon the United States
"s a primary market for the dressing,
dyeing and handling of sealskins.
Now that the century-old tradi
tional fur market has been transferred
from London to St. Louis American
women should at least be given their
choice of skins at a reasonable price
In addition to the furs belonging to
governments of the United States and
foreign countries there are catalogued
pelteries from more than twenty-eight
foreign coutries and from every state
in the union as well. The fact that
many of the trappers have been called
to serve their countries in the trenches
has made little difference in the quan
tity of skins procured and the season
has done its full share for quality.
As yet the question of Kolinsky
against Japanese mink has not been
satisfactorily settled between mer
chant and purchaser. Some contend
that Kolinsky is an animal; others de
clare that it is only a new name for
the ever popular and expensive Jap
anese mink. However, this fur, just
as lovely by one name as another, is
finding great favor among the lead
ers of fashion in wonderful stoles and
"designed"' capes.
Among the furs which will be of
fered in the retail market this year are
Russian sable, Alaskan sealskins, Bo
livian chinchillas, Canadian otter, Si
berian squirrel, East Indian leopard,
Manchurian Kolinsky, Japanese fox,
mink and marten, Peruvian nutria,

SCHOOL KIDDIES
KNIT FORSOLDIERS
Even the Kindergarteners Are
At Work Making Caps
for Belgian
Children.
The stern realities of war have in
vaded the school room and even the
playground.
At the Monmouth school the lfvf
girls have put away their jumping
ropes and "jacks," and have taken up
the knitting i.eedles instead. Chil
dren in the four highest grades gather
at noon in the manual training room
where, under the instruction of Miss
Ella White, they are learning to knit
warm woolen things for the soldiers.
Down in the kindergarten tiny tots
of 5 no longer amuse themselves by
weaving bright strips of paper to
form mats. Instead they weave with
bright yarns on a loom to make
caps for the Belgian children. These
gifts will be sent for a Christmas
present to the little ones across the
water.
The looms used are an invention
of the kindergarten teacher, Miss
Alice Hayes, and a perfectly formed
round cap can quickly be woven on
them by the children. These pull
down snugly over ears and will keep
some Belgian kiddies warm before
long.
In the eicrhth R p-raili. tJi rliiUnn
are buying a Liberty bond of, their
verv own. The narcnts wilt tint h
allowed to help and the fifteen chil
dren in the class propose to earn the
money for it themselves. They will
have a popcorn sale soon to pay the
first installment on their bond. This
bond will be placed in the school
fund.
