. Two hundred of the blgeest school
boys in the city are occupyinjr their
spare time at the Train , school in
knitting. Many of these boys will
so in the trenches themselves in two
rears more, if the war lasts that Ion.
They are anxious to j?o now, but
is they can't, they cast about for some
way to help their brothers and cousins
who ar already in the camps and at
the front. They noticed their teach
ers knitting sweaters and socks at
recess and noons.
"Can't; we. do that, , too, Miss
White?" they asked the principal.
"1 don't see why not," answered she.
At once thev broucht knittinor needles
to school or made them in the manuaU
training department.
The teachers procured yarn from
the "Red Cross authorities and the
boys set to work to learn to knit.
Now every boy at the Train school
with any patriotism in his heart has
his knitting in his desk. As soon as
lessons are learned out comes the
knitting I At recess they knit on the
playground while the base balls and
bats lie neglected in the corner.
In the "opportunity room" where
the larger boys are given a chance to
do double work, the greatest interest
in the work is f hown. Big husky
boys vie with the little girls in pro
ducine the best work.
"They have beaten the girls, too.
I can tell y6u," said Miss White. "As
yet they don't carry knitting bags, but
if they want to, no one will say a
word. These boys are the leaders in
this part of the city and when they

At present the fashion is knitting
and every youngster in the neighbor
hood is doing it.

H. B. Zimmar. On American
Jewish War Relief Board
,fn recognition of his notable serv
ices in connection with the work of
the local Jewish war relief committee,
Harry B. Zimman has been named a
member of the executive committee
of the American Jewish War Relief
committee, which has the direction of
the movement lor the entire country.
Notice to this effect has just been re
ceived from Felix Warburg, president
of the committee with headquarters
in New York.
Last week witnessed an interesting
reunion between old classmates at
Fort Crook. Colonel Settle, who will
be commander of the post for the
winter, was met on his arrival by his
friend. Major Hamilton, who is the
quartermaster at Fort Crook.
Thirty years ago these two were
classmates and friends at West Point
After graduating they began a course
of globe-trotting, as usually falls to
the lot of army men. Each of them
has been in all the outlying posses
sions, in the Philippines, Hawaii, etc.,
has been stationed in garrisons all
over the country and has circumnavi
gated the globe. But m all tne time
they have not met and never till this
winter have they been together at the
same station. Needless to say, they
had many interesting things to tell
and many queries to , be asked and
answered about other classmates.
There are 800 homesick boys at
Fort Crook who are hoping the
witches and brownies will invite them
to a real Hallowe'en party in Omaha.
Some of them have been here a
month, but know no one in the city.
They are beginning to think the
famed western hospitality is a myth,
for not even an invitation to bunday
dinner has come to Fort Crook.
Of course, the inclement weather
as prevented most people from driv
ing out to the fort as they did in the
summer. Most of these boys come
from the sunny south, where hospi
tality is the general rule. I hey can
be reached by calling South 4418, the
Youne Men s Christian association
phone.
Every man of the 800 at Fort
Crook has enlisted for period of
seven years, not simply for the dura
tion of the war. Most of these boys
intend to make the army their profes
sion, if they survive the war. They
are anxious to be in the trenches even
now and chafe arMhe delay which
keeps them in this country till they
can be trained.
"There is just as good a chance for
a man to rise in the army as in the
outside world, I find," said Sergeant
Forrester of Company L, 41st in
fantry, at Fort Crook. "If a young
man has character and can use his
head his officers quickly rind it out
and promote him. This winter there
will be established a school for en
listed men in each military district."
Omaha now has a fine military
band available. for entertainment. The
regimental band of the 41st infantry r
has just come to rort Crook and
doubtless will be' frequently requisi
tioned to add military color and teo
to public gatherings.

TEN REASONS FOR POL ARI
The pleasure and cost of winter driving depend largely on the:pir
you use Cost means more than what you pay for gas and oil.! It? ji
means repair bills and thte depreciation, too. j
Polarine will save you gasoline and oil money, lessen the necessity
for repairs due to lubricating troubles,' and will reduce depreciation Jo
a minimum. Here are the reasons: . .
(1) Polarine feeds freely at any tempera
ture down to zero ; (2) maintains its body
doesn't run thin or "break up" when
, the motor becomes hot; (3) bums clean;
does not deposit carbon on the piston
m
heads, foul the sparkplugs nor carbonize
the valves; (4) contains no acid to pit the
cylinder walls or eat away, the piston
rings; (5) permits easy starting in coldest
weather; (6) gives greater power because
it makes a perfect seal between piston
rings and cylinders, giving better com
pression; (7) made by the most moderrj
methods from mid-continent crude oils;
(8) it is always uniform in quality, (9
costs no more to buy than most oils but
is less expensive to use; (10) obtainable
everywhere from our Service Stations
or at all good garages, y
To get the best results from Polarine drain out
ALL the oil inVour crankcase. Then fill it
with Polarine. If you're careful to see that no
other oil than Polarine goes into the crankcase
you'll have no winter lubricating troubles.
Polarine is sold wherever you see the sign.
the Ideal Winter Lubricant '
Use Red Gown Gasoline gives most miles per gallon, most satisfaction per mile. Always
. look for the Red Gown Sign whenever you need gas. ,
