WOMEN MUSTIIELP
TOWINTfa'AR.
SAYS VAN DER LfP
Director of War Savings Cer
tificates Points Out to Fair
Sex Some of the Things
Expected of Them.
What women must do to help win
the war was emphasized by Frank A.
Vanderlip, national director of war
savings certificates, in his talk to
Omaha school teachers, who made
up the largest part of his audience at
the Brandcis theater Friday after
noon. "You may be working in muni
tions factories instead of knitting be
fore this war is over," Mr. Vanderlip
told the women who plied knitting
needles, in his efforts to convince
them of the serious aspect of the pres
ent moment.
"Last year's coat or hat is a badge
of real service that each of you can
wear. If you saw a girl at work on
a gas mask, you wouldn't ask her
to quit that work and make you a
hatf.but that is really what you are
doing when you continue to employ
the labor the government needs, in
order to satisfy your, usual wants for
comfort and luxury," he said.
Must Teach Thrift and Patriotism.
"You impress on the school boy
who wants a 25-cent base ball that
the rubber in it is needed for an
ambulance-tire and the leather for
a calvary man's saddle, perhaps.
Teach thrift along with patriotism.
The government needs more next
year than the shops can possibly
produce and it's up to us1 to keep out
of. the way of the government and
leave the field free for the better
"equipment of our army.
"Every American woman should be
a loan of Arc a woman with a vision
' which will help win the war.
"More money is spent in this coun
try each year for jewelry than for
public education. One-half as much,
or $360,000,000, is spent annually for
candy, while Belgian children suffer
for want of suar, and this nation
- chews $1,000,000 worth of gum each
month. i v
., Must Be Strict Economy.
t ."Ve must weigh our expenditures
In a national light The question is
not, 'can we afford?' - It is 'can the
government afford to let us -have it?'
"There must be strictest economy in
consuming 'material needed by the
government ,
"Only when the nation Is united In
recognizing its personal responsibil
ity to win, can we win from Germany,
no matter how long'it takes."
Mr. Vanderlip expressed the belief
that peace is a long way off, if a. mili
tary decision if to be awaited. "The
world looks to America to terminate
this war, . Our only hope otherwise is
for a revolt of the German people,"
he added,. .
, !"The noise of American dollars
pouring into the war savings' fund is
being heard at the Brandenburg gats
in Berlin and' is, striking terror into
their hearts," .. continued the speaker
in- closing. . v

On the! second floor back, 421 South
Eleventh street, the family of Sony
Lee is rejoicing over the arrival of
a new baby in the home all but the
mother. Mamma . Yuen See is most
unhappy.'
1 "Why," explains Papa Sony Lee,
"mamma wanted ( a boy, and once
more it is a girl. Five girls now
but it is nice, eh?"'
And he smiles broadly as he glances
at his almond-eyed little brood.
Sony Lee was born in Portland,
Ore., and . his ideas are ' scarcely
Chinese--regarding families, at any
rate Mamma Yuen See was born in
China and of a caste that has a par
ticular fondness for boys. '
Indeed, this caste, in. the old days,
made haste to "destroy all girls, ex
cept a few, perhaps, that came into
the world. ,
"In China, you know," said Sony
Lee, '"people get money; get also more

WIFE OF BANKER
CHARMS WITH
H E RARGUMENT
Mrs. Frank A. Vanderlip Says
She Could Talk All Day on
Subject of Votes for
Women. '
A petite, dark woman in long black
fur coat, with the collar up close
around her throat and a thin veil pro
tecting her rosy checks, arived at the
Union station yesterday afternoon
with her husband, Frank A. Vander
lip, national war savings director.
They alighted from Mr. Vanderlip's
private car attached to the train from
Minneapolis, which arrived three
hours late.
Now, Mr. Vanderlip is a handsome
brainy man and an energetic man.
Bue five minutes' conversation with
his wife convinces one that she equals
him in the last two qualities andex
ccls him in the first.
Pretty, brigh, sparkling, vity,
kindly, enthusiastic, Mrs. Vanderlip
is an unanswerable argument in favor
of votes for women. She was one of
the biggest factors in the big women's
suffrage victory in New York last
month.
When asked at 'the Union station
for an interview, she lauehed and de
clared. " I could talk to you all day
about suffrage."
Kept Hostesses Waiting.
And then she keot Mrs. losenh
Barker and Mrs. Ward Burgess, who!
were ready to whirl her up town to
some social "doings," waiting while
she talked delightedly 'and delight
fully of the victory in New York.
"Suffrage educatidn of 70 years in
New York bore fruit," she said." All
the men who had women active in
war work voted for suffrage. In fact,
the war work by women has been one
of the greatest arguments for suf
frage. I had charge of four counties,
including Westchester county, where
we live. In those four counties suf
frage had a 9,000 majority, and I be
lieve it will J)e greater still more
when the soldier vote is all in."
"When do you think national wo
man suffrage will become a fact?"
asked the reporter. Mrs. Vanderlip's
smile flashed, her eyes danced and im
mediately she shot back the answer,
"This year." She didn't have anv
grim look of determination like you
see pictured on suHragetts faces
in Punch either. She was a picture
of the sweetest type of woman, smil
ing and she actually well giggled.
Mie was asked then what war ac
tivities she is engaged in besides suf
frage. Is Busy Woman.
"Well, I'm on the woman's Liberty
loan committee and county chairman
of the Wometv's Council of Defense,
and chairman of the war service com
mittee of the New York state wo
man suffrage party, which ha a mem
bership of 1,000,000 and is doing im
mense war work," said this remark
able woman.
"And er what do you do in your
spare time?" asked the reporter, try
ing to be a bit witty. Mrs. Vander
lip laughed that musical laugh and
said she had plenty ofsdomestic duties
to occupy her attention."
"Yes, you- have .children," said Mrs.
Barker. .
"Yes, indeed, I have six," said Mrs.
Vanijerlip. v -
"Eh h-how many?" gasped an
other young woman in the party.
"Six," said Mrs. Vanderlip, laugh
ing, up and down a happy scale.
"Three boys and three girls." The
,young woman" nearly fainted. Mrs.

Keeps Children Busy.
"Oh, they are all working for me
in the suffrage campaign," she said.
"They range from 13 to 2 years. My
boy, 10 years old, was out nearly
every day putting up posters and
working like a little man. Some of
the others that are big enough helped
at home."
So ended the interview and the re
porter hurried after Mr. Vanderlip,
who had been taken to the Commer
cial club by Ward Burgess and Joseph
Barker to meet the bankers, business
men and war-saving directors from
many counties of the state, and to be
gin a strenuous eight hours of speak
ing in Omaha.

products and the industrial powers
of the United States so as to leave
greater supplies of labor and ma
terials available to support our armies
in tlu field.
- Should' Buy Less.
."Summed up the idea is that every
body should buy less, consume less,
save more money and loan their sav
ings to the government. The result
will be more money for the govern
ment to run the war, increased ac
cumulation of savings by the people
at good interest and absolute security,
and less drain on the country's pro
ductive and industrial resources. The
war savings stamp and United States
thrift stamp plan was devised to carry
out these things.
"President Wilson said recently at
a reception to war savings workers
at the White House: 'I suppose, not
many fortunate by-products can come
out of a war, but if this country can
learn anything about saving out of
the war it will be worth the cost of
the war; I mean the literal cost of it
in money and resources. I suppose
we have several times over wasted,
more than we are now about to spend.
We have not known that there was
any limit to our resources; we are
now finding out that there may be if
we arc not 'careful.'
"War savings does .not mean
merely saving money. Saving money
is only half the story because a dol
lar saved means a dollar less of good3
bought of the national store. That is
what the government wants, the con
servation of resources aniT industrial
power through less consumption of
them by tire civilian population.
v .Everyorie Must Help.
' "Resources include food, clothing,
fuel and all the thousands of other
goods and articles produced and
manufactured in this country for the
use of human beings. The country
can produce only so. much. War de
mands are more than can be met
unless, everybody cuts down his ac
customed share; the industrial pro
ducing power of the country has been
relatively cut dowrt by the tremendous
increase in war demands, and abso
lutely cut clown by the withdrawal of
several million men from their nor
mal pursuits into military service."
Should Forego Pleasures.
Pleasures should be foregone dur
ing the war to a large extent and the
money invested in war savings

tional director of the war savings
campaign, in an address here last
night,
"Store up your pleasures as you
