A Sammy, doi..g his bit in France,
when asked what he wanted for
Christmas replied, "Letters." Not
candy or cigarets or sweaters or any
of the usual things, but just letters.
Writing home to his mother, he said
that the boys just live for mail time
and no matter if they be enveloped
in 10 sweaters and fed on "chicken
king," life is a dreary, waste if there
are no fat envelopes from far away
home in the mail bags.
A soldier in the same company
overseas has been subjected to a
great deal pf "kidding" from his com
panions as his Christmas mail from
home brought a box of soap. Not
one or two bars, but a whole boxl
Needless to say, the soap was from
the chap's mother, as she remembered
in days gone by his aversion to the
said article and far be it from her to
let him march in to Berlin with a
dirty neck. We haven't heard whether
it was 99J4 per cent pure or Little
Fairy, but we have no doubt the soap
has had its effect.
The news that Lieutenant Allen
A Tukey received 10 Christmas boxes
caused an-Omaha girl to say:
"From 10 different girls, I suppose.'
One never can tell. These dashing
young lieutenants, especially when
they are on duty "over there," have a
great attraction and there is no doubt
that many a pretty pair of hands have
packed goodies in Christmassy look
ing boxes for these lucky gentlemen.

be honor guest at a luncheon given

jjfcrt of the older brother, has four

OLILOQUY OF m
MODERN EVE
There are always eggs to scramble and
your success or failure, fame or fortune,
depends on how you "scramble the eggs "
By ADELAIDE KENNERLY
HOW do you scramble your eggs?
Not the eggs in the frying pan alone, but the
eggs in life.
The HOW of everything is the all important word
in the world's progress today, commercially, spiritually
and intellectually.
We go through life wishing for the opportunity of
others wishing so loudly that we are unable to hear op
portunity's tapping, rapping at our door.
A great portion of humanity goes about its work
with indifference. It "gets by." Its fire is but a flick
ering little flame under a lukewarm pan of ambiiton into
which the eggs (opportunities) of life are listlessly
scrambled.
Cook and Critic.
The cook in the kitchen may justly feel proud if she
is an expert at scrambling the eggs. It is as honorable
to be an expert cook as an expert critic.
The mechanic who knows all the little ins and outs
of his job has a great deal to his credit. Thomas Edi
son, remember, is an expert mechanic who knows better
than anyone else how to "scramble his eggs."
Salespeople need not feel at all humbled by the
clerking position. Great buyers, foreign buyers, have
been salespeople salespeople who were in earnest
about "scrambling their egg3."
So It Goes Through Life.
The eggs are the material with which everybody is
working and the scrambling is the manner in which the
material is moulded into finished products.
No matter to what station in life you belong, no
matter in what position you find yourself, there are al
ways "eggs to scramble," and your success or failure,
ascent or descent, fame or fortune, depends on how you
"scramble the eggs."

rank.
A really big business is carried on
in this warehouse a remarkable busi
ness institution, where every woman
from "boss" censor to humblest voir
unteer who gives a few hours service
a day, works without ay.
Red Cross Workers 111.
Mrs. F. W. Carmichael and Mrs.
Frank Ellick, indefatigable workers
at the Red Cross public shop, are ill
at their homes with the prevalent
grippe. Mrs. R. B. Zachary, assistant
to Mrs. Silver in the Baird building
shop, is also home ill.
Two More Red Cross Rooms.
Two more rooms in the Baird build
ing may be taken over for Red Cross
work, according to Mrs. Walter Sil
ver, chairman of the surgical dressings
department. Negotiations for the in
creased space, which is greatly need
ed, are under way.
$227 Red Cross Rooster.
Talk about the high cost of living 1
A rooster brought $227 at Wahoo,
Neb., Thursday.
It was at an auction sale for the
benefit of the Red Cross, staged by
F. J. Kirchman of that place.
"If a rooster costs $227, what would
a whole flock of chickens costs?" L.
W. Trester would like to know.
Red Cross Warehouse
h Managed and 'Manned?
Entirely by the Women
A warehouse, planned, managed,
and "manned" by women that is the
new state inspection warehouse of the
Red Cross in the Haubens building,
Twelfth and Farnam streets.
The whole fourth floor has been
given over to this work under the di
rection of Mrs. Howard H. Baldrigc
Here all surgical dressings, knitted
articles, hospital garments and sup
plies of all kinds made in Nebraska
are shipped. They are received, in
spected and censored, repacked ac
cording to directions from national
headquarters and shipped direct to
France.
That one is in a warehouse seems
impossible. At any rate, it s different
than any other business institution
of its kind. You think you are in a
suite of shops, the walls and wood
works all finished in white, sanitary
and cleanly in appearance as any
hospital walls, the bins which line
the walls, filled with garments for
the comfort or to fill needs of our
soldiers.
The arrangement of rooms is most
business-like. The front office is for
the head of the "concern," Mrs. Bald
rigc. Then there is a compartment
for the surgical dressings censor, Mrs.
W. J. Mettlen; another fv the hos
pital supplies censor, Mrs. J. J. Mc
Mullen; and another for Mrs. Harvey
Newbranch, the knitting censor,
where each one of these women work
with their corps of volunteer assist
ants. Mrs. E. A. Pegau, receiver and
packer, has several rooms assigned
to her supervision. A man or two
wanders about here among the boxes
piled ceiling high, loading in a box
of supplies or taking it out.
All the women are attired in aprons,
white or green, and most of them
wear the becoming Red Cross veils,
