Property of Blaugas
Company Ordered Sold
. Federal Judge Woodrough has or
dered the property of the Nebraska
Blaugas company. Twenty-seventh
and Boyd streets, sold under fore
closure to satisfy creditors to the ex
tent of several hundred thousand dol
lars. The sale is to take place 20
clays hence at the east door of the
court house,, provided the company
does not satisfy its creditors before
then. B. H. Dunham was appointed
master to sell the premises and exe
cute the court's decree.
The concern has been operated by
a receiver, George P. Stebbins, for
several months. The suit was brought
in federalcourt by Allen W. Sleeper,
who owns bonds of the company to
, the extent of $180,000 and has ad-
T vanced several thousand dollars be
sides toward the operation of the
business. The Nebraska Blaugas
company and 19 other corporations
and individuals are defendants.
The company makes gas' plants for
homes. It is operating now and will
probably continue to operate even
after its financial difficulties I have
been adjusted by foreclosure.

FUNS. TO GIVE i
AID IN OMAHA
Propose to Have Dwellers in
Apartment Houses Form
Groups of Workers; Other
Proposals Are Made.
Red Cross auxiliaries in all apart
ment houses is a measure to increase
me numDer ot women workers in
Omaha, advocated by Mrs. C. T.
Kountze, head of the woman's service
bureau.
"There are at least SO large apart
ment houses in Omaha in which a
treat deal of work could be done if
the women would organize for the
purpose. If there are no competent
supervisors for surgical dressings
among them, they can make hospital
i garments, the need for which is just
as great," said Mrs. Kountze.
Won.en living in a group of apart
ment houses on Sherman avenue bor
dering the Strehlow terraces are the
first to signify their desire to fall in
with the plan.
Organize Business Girls.
There is talk of organizing the
business girls in the large office build
ings for Red Cross work, but the dif
ficulty to be met here is in obtaining
enough supervisors and instructors
for night work.
A movement to enroll more mem
bers of the large women's organiza
tions such as the Omaha Woman's
club and the Association of Col
legiate Alumnae, both of which hold
several departmental meetings a
week, is on toot.
Visitors thronged the state inspec
tion warehouse in the Haubens build
ing between the hours of 2 and 6 for
the "open house," arranged so that
the public might view the work.
Heads of departments showed the
visitors through the different rooms
where receiving, censoring and pack
ing are being done. There was no
let-up in the work through the after
noon, even while the "reception" was
going on.
Tag 12,000 Packages.
Twenty girls of the D. T. A. club
spent three hours tagging 12,000 mus
lin bandage packages Friday night.
W. L. Butler, C. A. Inman, Walter
Campbell and Edward 'Goetz of , the
Marsh-Overland company volunteered
their services to stencil 60 boxes.
Mrs. W. R. Clarke of Lincoln has
been named assistant state instructor
for surgical dressings, with headquan.
ters in Lincoln, for the greater con
venience of women of the South
Platte district. Mrs. Clarke, Mrs. J.
O. Goodwin, state chairman, and Miss
.Marjorie Smith returned Friday from
a visit to central division headquar
ters in Chicago.
. The need for an automobile to carry
auppiics to auxiliaries irom tne baird
building was emphasized at a board
meeting of Omaha chapter Friday.
Gould Dietz is looking for some one
who will donate a' car.

Conservation
Is the Word
Of the Hour
All of us have been asked
to conserve to save meat,
wheat, sugar, fuel, power
and many other things.
The blessing of an early
and sure peace rests on what
you, as a unit of red-blooded
Americans, do in getting on
without the large use of
these various things which
must be conserved.
Now it has become neces
sary to save daylight also
because saving daylight
means the saving of artificial
light, which in turn is a sav
ing of power and fuel.
By a ruling of the Fuel
Administration the new store
hours, beginning Monday,
have been scheduled open
ing at 9 a. m. and closing at
6 p. m., Saturdays included.
Then, aside from this, the
lights in the show windows
the eyes of the store and
possibly one of the greatest
advertising assets, are not
lighted at all this to accom
plish as best possible, the
conservation of fuel.
The shortened store hours
brings changed shopping con
d i t i ons procrastination
steals most of the morning
hours before 10 o'clock
while rioon finds the day half
gone, with a dozen things
left undone which should
have been accomplished in
the morning hours.
These of necessity must
then be crowded into the few
hours of the afternoon. ,
Get the habit and make
the most of the morning
hours.
Instead of shopping in the
afternoon, start from home
at 8 or 9 o'clock, we'll be
ready for you. '
Shop in the morning con
serve daylight and help the
merchants help Uncle Sam.
