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 Are You Going To Pay 33 More for Your Macaroni?

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. Steele-Bragg Wedding. A simple home wedding took place Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hamilton, when Miss Clcda Lore Bragg, younger sister of Mrs. Hamilton, became the i bride of Mr. George William Steele of Kansas City. Rev. Ralph If. Houseman officiated. Only the im mediate relatives were present at the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Steele will make their Soliloquy of Modern Eve 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.

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. "Smrt Economy." They're Giving Wearables This Xmas Send for Cornmeal Book -4- "And it's really just the thing to do to help win 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- ' twApn nnriplvpa onA 1! fh alii! no tions, lay foundation for an endur ing peace after the war.

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.

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.
