Reaching People. "I want to reach people in all walks of!ife" V ' ' ,A " "That's a narrow audience, old man. Better include all makes of cars." ' Houston Chronicle,, Ifillwpy f Mdbra M "Eve m Take inventory today of your assetsthe world will meet you half way. : : : : : : By ADELAIDE KENNERLY THEY cry that the world is unjust and unfair, to them these sweet young things who must earn their bread. No one will give them a chance to make an honest watrel How hard and cruel this world is with girls, we say, and judge on lio ' evidence. Take inventory of these sweet girl graduates from the eighth grade, or from high school some come from colleges. What do you find in them of value to any business man or to any pro fession? They flutter in with a smile and Mary Pickford curls declaring their willingness to work, and one after another-gives them a chance always with the same result they won't do. t , - "Shifted from pillar to post, nobody will give me a opportunity to work," they wail. Brought up to be coy and sweet, to attract men, to wear pretty clothes and keep up with the latest coiffures, how can we expect them to be on a par with the girls who have taken life more seriously and who have learned to do something jusl one thing well. They cannot keep books, or typewrite, or clerk. They can do absolutely nothing worth while. What can a business or professional person do with such a useless creature? After all the world isn't unjust just practical. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth is the way the game is played. Today is the time to take inventory of yourself and your capabilities. See what you have to offer what specific talent or ability you can give in return for a salary. Pretty faces and neat dresses add much to the woman of tha world, but first of all she must have something in her head if she expects to go higher thaii the mud. Don't offer to do "just anything" when you can do "nothing" and then blame the world. The world will meet you half way. Woman Master Plumber Engaged by Cncle Sam A W V.

Gold Letters on Coats Of Wives of Fighters Who Run Queens Cars A uniform gay enough to make any woman turn street car conductor is that now worn by conductorettes on trolley cars of the Manhattan & Queens Traction company,' running from Jamaica to Long Island City, New York. The women conductors wear a mili tary coat, regulation cap, and black or blue skirt. The skirt must not reach below the shoe tops, and the coat must be buttoned to the neck while the conductor is on duty. The women wear on the standing collar of their coats, in gold letters, the initials of the traction company. No northward limit has been pre scribed for the skirts. Among , the women who wear the handsome uniform are two wives of fighters. One is. the wife of a British army officer; the other's husband has enlisted in the United States navy. Besides running the cars the women sell war thrift stamps to aid Uncle Sam. They get equal pay with men, 27 cents an hour for a ten-hour day. EJihi by Ibma H Gross ffOlVCNOLD ARTS OSPT CENTJfAL HIGH SCHOOL Grape Fruit. At this time of year the market af fords the very choicest grape fruit. This' fruit helps to bridge the gap be tween the abundant fall fruits and the first spring fruits. It is not particu larly .cheap from the standpoint of tne amount ot heat units or calories if furnishes the body, but its value lies in its ability to keep the body in good condition. It provides raw food. without which no diet is satisfactory; its acids aid in the digestive process and its bulk helps to keep the diges tive iraci ciear. xt also provides i very pleasant flavor, which is an ape tizer. To Serve Grape Fruit Fortunately for the housewife, the popular way of serving grape fruit is the easiest possible way no cookincr ana no extra ingredients added except a sprinkling of,supar and perhaps a garnish. . If you think it a tedious job to prepare grape fruit for the table just compare the time of prepa'ration witn the om ot making even? a sim ple pudding. Unless the family is a large one I think- the balance of time will be on the side of the grape fruit every time. And what dessert i nicer than grape fruit for a simple dinner? Some of , the trouble of preparation The One-Piece Dress Divorce in China '. In China ( when a couple seeks a divorce : they nwst break a pair of chop-sticks1 in" the presence of wit nesses, and the thing is done. But that is not all. Divorces are allowed in all cases of criminality of temper meijt and too much loqua.citj"bh the part of the wife I ' . ' In Siberia the man can just please'. nimseii as to wnetner ne snan aivorce his wife." For the niost . irifling act of his wife he tears a cap or veil froni her face and that constitutes ' a divorce. , Corn-Wheat Pancake Something that will y please the diner, and "will help to do our bit to save the wheat for our boys at the front. 1 cop of corn ma! acaldea with 1 cup hot water, 1 cup what flour, 1 eg, 1 tea spoonful baking powder, hi teatpoonful salt; stir In enough buttermilk or sour mtlk to - make- a- aoft batter: bake In a greased and very hot spider. This will make enough cakes to satisfy four people. MRS. A. R. WIBNS, Omaha. THE SKIRT is dark blue satin and brief about the ankles. The blouse 'of rose-mauve silk is charmingly draped, and skirt is gen erous enough to concede a long swathing sash at the side. The waist shows the surplice line which is so much liked now. i Grace's Broom The' floor vwi!l.( not be swept by noon ' ' - '" Unless you draw a .little ' broom for young and pretty baby Grace Where now you see but a blank space. -ANNOUNCING the greatest shoe sensation of the year THE ENTIRE STOCK SHOE HA MET (OF SIOUX CITY, IOWA) Goes on Sale Thursday Morning, Jan, 7, 9 18 This Enormous Stock of High Grade Shoes Taken Over at 55c on the Dollar Will Be Closed Out at Payor's Shoe C0 1512 DOUGLAS STREET Co-Operation Miss Gross will be very glad to receive suggestions -for the home economics column or to answer, as far as jhe is able, any questions that her readers may ask. may be due to using a poor knife. A grape fruit knife with a curved blade will prove well worth the money ex pended for it. To prepare grape fruit cut in two crossways, then cut around the rim, just inside the skin. The curved blade will enable you to cut quite far,dovn. Then cut each bit of pulp loose from the enclosing mem brane. Lastly cut the thick core loose as close to the bottom as possible. Now pull the membrane lolse and it should come out in the shape of a wheel with the rim gone. Some peo ple like grape fruit unsweeiened, but the average person likes a sprinkling of sugar on the fruit about IS min utes before serving time. To Plug Out a Grape Froit. For serving plain in a glass, or for salads or cocktails, a grape fruit should be plugged out. Cut the fruit in two lengthwise. Skin the fruits as you would an orange. Work the pulp loose from the membrane, a section at a time. The membrane should be pulled off, the pulp underneath worked loose, the next membrane pulled off, and so on. The pulp can be obtained in perfect iections. In some ways it is more desirable to serve the pulp in tall glasses than in the skin, even if it has been loosened from the membrane. An invalid is apt to like grape fruit served in a ?;lass. A dash of grape juice over the ruit adds a pleasant flavor: or some of the liquor from maraschino cherries. SALAD SUGGESTIONS. Lattice Work Salad. Arrange three sections of grape fruit that have been carefully plugged out on a bed of lettuce so that they overlap each other. Make a lattice work of strips of pimento, or green pepper, or both, over the grape fruit. Served with French dressing, this makes a specially acceptable dinner salad. White Fruit Salad." Grape fruit, white grapes, bananas, canned pears, pineapple blanched al monds and cut marshmallows make a good combination. The marshmal lows should stand with the fruit about 15 minutes to soften. For specially festive occasions baskets may be formed of half grape fruit and the salad served in the baskets. To make the handles use picture wire twined with smilax. A small tulle bow may be added. Suggested Combinations. Grape fruit and Oysters. Grape fruit and celery. Grape fruit, orange and cucumber. Sliced orange and grape fruit served on hearts of romaine. Garnish with pimento. Arrange sections of grape fruit orange and apple cn s bed of lettuce. Cover with finely cut celery and pine apple and garnish with cherries. Contribution Box.

The National Credit Jewelers 409 S. 16th Street. Omaha. B0FTIS &3BRos&ca;r. Fifteen years ngo, in a little North Carolina town, a drug gist discovered a process of combining the o 1 d-fashioned rented ies Cartphor, Tur p e n t ine and Menthol with certain volatile o i 1 8, such as E u c a lyptus, Tyhme.Cubebs and Juniper, so that, when applied externally, the body heat would vap orize these ingredients. These vapors, inhaled all night long, carry the medi cation, with each breath, direct to the air passages and lungs. - Today this vapor treatment,. Vick's VapoRub, is almost universally used throughout the . South in preference to internal "dosing." It is quick in iU action, and what is more important, particularly to mothers with small children, it is applied externally and hence does pot disturb the most deli cate stomach. Colds are easiest treat ed at the beginning and VapoKub makes the ideal preventive for tho entire family. This preparation comes in salve form and its action is twofold. Ex ternally, it is absorbed thru and stim ulates the skin, taking out that tight ness and soreness in the chest In ternally, the vapors inhaled loosen the phlegm and open the air passages. For croup or coids just rub a little . over the throat and chest and cover t? with a warm flannel cloth. One appli--cation at bed time prevents night attack of croup. For very severe chest colds, ton silitis, bronchitis or incipient pneu monia, hot, wet towels should first be applied over the parts, to open the pores of the skin and then use , , VapoRub. For headcold3,.wthmatic or catarrhal troubles a little Vapo Rub can be rubbed tip the nostrils Jr,- meuea in i spoon ana tne vapors in haled. . .
