Omaha Women Play Santa Claus.
I Old Kris Kringle ha3 numerous
I faithful helpers in Omaha. Despite
the fact that war relief work occupies
nearly every moment these days, sev
eral groups of kind-hearted women
will still find time to dress dolls and
make innumerable trifles so dear to
childishjfiearts.
The Collegiate Alumnae members
plan to spend Saturday at the South
bide Settlement filling stockings so
that each poor kiddie will be re
membered Christmas day. These
college women are following an an
nual custom, as they do this work
every year, and many a child's heart

A Christmas 'tree will also be
trimmed for the Social Settlement
children and the members of this club
ask all those who wish to contribute
trimmings or lights for the tree to
kindly notify Miss Helen Mason at
Harney 4717, who will call for them.
This is a wonderful opportunity to
help Santa Claus and it is hoped
that there will be a general hunt in
many attics for tinsel tritles for the
Settlement tree.
The Christ Child society will give
a Christmas party this year at Creigh
ton auditorium for the foreign chil
dren at the different settlement
houses. Aliuge Chrfstmas tree loaded
with toys and aglitter with many
candles will greet the children and a
jolly Santa Claus will deliver the toys
into their hands.
The little ones at the Child Sav
ings Institute are usually the recipi
ents of the bounty of the Vassar club,
but this year the members made
children's dresses for the Duryea
war relief. However, I feel sure that
the kiddies at this big institution will
not be forgotten, for they have many
warm friends among the good people
of Omaha.
Tea for Faculty.
The Young Women's Christian As
sociation Central High School Girl's
Students' club will give a tea today for
the faculty. The proceeds will be donat
ed to the Red Cross. The girls of
this organization have assumed the
responsibility of making the huge
Central High service flag.

The fluffy-nothings of life go down to ashes
with the fires and tortures of life, but the
rare persons survive : : : : :
By ADELAIDE KENNERLY.
A GIANT sassafras near Keswick. Va,, some years ago, had a hollow
trunk, with its top broken off and it seemed ready to die. Some
body started a fire in it. The fire was stopped with difficulty and it
was tiiought that the tree was killed.
Striking example of humanity as it is no different. Let a person be
apparently empty Vf that which other people want, and someone will try
to destroy. The man or woman who missteps or allows one foot to start
on the downward jjath may be sure of a push a fire within or around to
destroy them.
But this old sassafras tree was an exception. It did riot die after the
fire. On the contrary the torture it endured only burned out the parasites
that were eating the heart from the tree.
Strong Old Tree.
' It was a strong old tree. It had endurance something noble way down
deep under the surface which willed that it should not only live but sur
vive the torture with triumphant heart.
After the fire the old trunk with its clean "within" branched out like
the springtime and now stands crowned with strong, healthy, boughs, add
ing beauty to the scenery and giving of its pure self to the world.
So do some souls tower above the weaklings. Souls have been puri
fied by years of suffering;by white hot fires of the brain which burned to
ashes all that was vile or impure in thoughts.
Fluffy-Nothings Go Under. v
The fluffy-nothings of life go down to ashes with the fire, the pains,
the repulsions and the tortures of life, but the rare persons survive them
and stand as symbols of great spirits. They show what can be withstood.
They are as the sun which passes through pollution and comes out clean.
There is none so worthy as one who passes through the worst 'and
, comes out the best.

For Mr. and Mrs. Vanderlip.
Omaha will have as guests two very
prominent people Friday. Mr. and
Mrs. Frank A. Vailerlip of New
York will be in the citv. Mr. Van
derlip is touring the country in the
interest of the war savings stamp
movement. Mrs. Vanderlip, who is
a Red Cross worker of national fame,
also headed the women's committee
of New York during the Liberty bond
campaign. Two dinner parties will
be given Friday evening in honor of
the distinguished guests. Mrs. Ward
Burgess will entertain at her home
in honor of Mrs. Vanderlip. while the
men will entertain for Mr. Vanderlip
elsewhere. War questions will no
doubt be discussed at the affair given
by the men, and it is very certain
that the talk about the cozy dinner
table at the Burgess home will also
be on war topics, for the guests will
all be women who are giving the
greater part of their time to war re
lief work.
A tea is planned for Mrs. Vander
lip Friday afternoon at the Fontenelle
by the members of the woman's Lib
erty bond committee.
Concert for Red Cross.
The boys' and girls' glee clubs and
the orchestra of the Central High
school will give a concert Friday
night at 8 o'clock in the schoolaudito
rium for the. benefit of the Red
Cross. The concert will have . decid
edly military air, which will appear
principally in the costumes of the
ushers. They will wear cadet uni
forms and Red Cross dresses. The
singing of the Star Spangled Ban
ner will open the program, which will
close with a grand finale of patriotic
airs.
Mr. Carol Silbert of New York,
will be the principal soloist. Mr.
Silbert is spending the Christmas hol
idays in Omaha.
Vassar club members will have
luncheon together at the University
club next Tuesday, after spending the
morning making oakum pads at the
war relief rooms, under the direction
of Miss Margaret Buce.
TWO WOMEN AT HALIFAX.
Halifax, Dec. 13. Belated credit
was given today to two young
women for their conduct following
the explosion. When the explosion
came the naval hospital had only
two nurses on duty, Sister Alice
Boutin and her assistant. Although
the roof crashed in and the building
was damaged, not a patient was
lost. In addition to attending these
patients, many injured from out
side were brought in. With a frac
tured rib and a dislocated should
er, Sister Boutin remained on duty
until late in the evening, when she
became exhausted.
Miss Jean Groves, operator at
the private branch telephone ex
change at the dock yards, remained
at her post and sent out calls for
doctors, fire department and other
aid until ordered out of the build
ing, which was badly damaged.
Within : hour she was at another
exchange reporting for duty.

Red -Cross Funds in the War.
When the war fund drive was con
ducted, last June, the American peo
ple subscribed a little over $100,000,
000 for the purposes of the Red Cross.
It was an act absolutely without pre
cedent. The world had looked upon
the United States as great, powerful
nation, but as inclined to be mer
cenary and Jelfish. Our stupendous
liDeny loans, pians ior great armies
and navies, and great munition out
puts, merely confirmed the view the
outside world hd had of the great
ness and Bower of America. But that
we should subscribe a fund of $100,
000,000 at the very outset of the war
for the relief of humanity, gave the
world an entirely new vision of the
essential meaning of American life
and character.
Up to date approximately $85,000,
000 in cash ha been collected. Of this
amount a little over $40,000,000 has
been appropriated. The demands,
however, in Europe are increasing
with great rapidity! And the $100,
000,000 fund cannot last on the pres
ent basis of expenditure much be
yond the spring.
The American Red Cross is the
greatest humanitarian agency in the
history of the world. The war council,
appointed by President Wilson, and
headed by Henry F. Davison, is con
ducting the affairs of this great or-
era n 1 73 1 imi rn f K a i Ii rf r 4 Ii 1 if
f should contribute to these great aims:
first, to be ready to care for our
soldiers and sailors whenever and
wherever that care may be needed.
Second, to the shortening of the war
by relieving the suffering and bolst
ering up the courage and morale of
the civilian populations as well as
the armies of our allies.
Third, through carrying a message
of relief and mercy, as aft expression
of the sacrifice and sympathy of the
American people, to let our allies
know that this is not a mere money-
I making nation, but a great money
, making nation and thus, . through
: promoting a better understanding be-

Review of Reviews for December,

Duplication of Efforts in
Raising Y. M. 'and Y. W.
Funds Subject of Comment
Duplication of efforts in raising the
Young Men's and Young Women's
Christian association war funds is, th
subject of comment ainemg local club
and church women as well as work
ers in the campaign, and local busi
ness men who are solicited for funds.
The Young Men's Christian associa
tion fund was oversubscribed. The
Young Women's Christian associa
tion, joint hostess house and annual
budget campaiguffor funds is on this
week.
Merger Young Men's and Young
Women's Christian association cam
paigns were carried on with splendid
results in Pittsburgh, Kansas City,
Denver, Minneapolis and Des Moines.
Miss Etta Pickering, local Young
Women's Christian association sec
retary, explains that the merger cam
paigns were launched in the cities
which held their drives fast of all.
Early in the campaign national lead
ers did not deem it wise to combine
the two drives for funds. Omaha
came in the early group.
More than $2,500,000 of the $4,000,
000 fund desired has been raised.
The Omaha campaign is, for $25,000
for the hostess house fund and $10,
000 for the annual budget.
Nebraska Women to Talk
On Suffrage Amendment
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Washington, Dec. 13. (Special
Telegram.) Senator Norris, and Rep
resentatives Kinkaid, Sloan and Lo
beck, with Representative Shallen
berger represented by Mrs. Shallen
berger, met this morning in the office
of Senator Norris to hear a number
of Nebraska women who are in
Washington attending the suffrage
convention present their views on be
half of constitutional amendment
granting suffrage to women.
The ladies in the Nebraska delega
tion were: Mrs. W. E. Barkley of
Lincoln; Mrs. W. J. Bryan, "Mrs.
Sumney of Omaha, Mrs. Morris, Mrs.
Charles H. Dietrich of Hastings. All
presented their views. Mrs. Shallen
berger was outspoken in her opposi
tion to picketing. It is understood
that representatives in congress pres
ent at the hearing declared them
selves in favor of the amendment
with the exception of Mr. Lobcck,
who was noncommittal.
Ancient Thessalonica.
Salonica, in the days when St.
Paul addressed his Epistles to the
Thessalonians, was not modern, for
it was built about 315 B. C. on the
site of an older city called Therme,
and it was named by its founder after
his wife, a sister of Alexander the
Great, It has always been a place of
importance, it is the chief harbor
of Macedonia, and was a point on the
ancient highway from Rome to the
east. With a few new buildings, like
the old mosque, which has been in
turn a temple f Venus and j Chris
tian church, it has always been a col
lection of houses largely of wood and.
therefore, highly inflammable in the
extreme continuous heat of sum
mer. Frosted Rice Pudding.
