The Auto Show Is Here!
Honkl HonkI Here we are! An
other auto show in our midst, guar
anteed to dispel gloom and to make
you realize that spring is on the way!
Omaha has many proficient women
drivers who will undoubtedly take a
lively interest in the show.
Mrs. Louis Clarke is considered
one of the best drivers in the city.
She not only drives, but she knows
her car thoroughly in every detail.
Mrs. Lee Huff loves her car above
everything else. She says that if the
kaiser should invade Omaha he can
have her house if he will only let
her keen her car.
Mrs. Cyril Langan is seen nearly
every day in her smart roadster. She
docs .not confine herself to the city
streets and boulevards, but has taken
a number of cross-country trips.
It is really hard to tell a new car
when you see one these days. One
well known Umaha man recently had
his old car painted a stylish looking
battiesh.p gray. He says that color
always reminds him of a bride's
going away gown, so he cnose gray.
Riding along Farnam street in his
re'uverated car he stopped at a cross
ing and heard a man on the sidewalk
say another, "There's one of the
new cars. 1 bet we 11 see that in tne
show."
So we would advise a camouflage
of paint if you would deceive the
Omaha public.
At the Tea Dance.
The tea dance at the Fontenelle still
holds its own and the hotel is really
the most popular place in town on
Saturday afternoon and evening. Mr,
and Mrs. Joseph Baldrige entertained

of pretty girls and officers from the
fort were together Saturday.

paign committee at the Fontenelle

Postmaster General's
Daughter is Clerk in
The Navy Department
M.I5S JUCTBURkESoN'. namJr i
Miss Lucy Burleson, daughter of
the postmaster general, has been ap
pointed to a clerical position in the
Navy department. The appointment
of Miss Burleson is in line with the
times, which have sent a number of
young women prominent in society
into regular positions in the depart
ments. Germany Deals Out
Food to Her People
Germany pays special attention to
infants and prospective mothers in
its management of food. An inter
esting table comparing the number of
calories required by people ot ditter
ent ages, with the number actually
doled out to them by the German
food administration, has been recently
published. This shows that ample
care is taken of women about to be
come mothers, and of chilJren up to
the age of four. From eight years of
age and upwards children are under
nourished, but the lack is not serious.
During the whole period of ado
lescence and the years of a man's
active labor, however, only about
half enough food is provided, while
men engaged in the heaviest work
sometimes get less than one-third"
of the number of calories scienr
tifically their due.- -
Munich.
In Munich, when the child is seven
months old the mothers receive an
extra milk allowance, whirh is con
tinued during the whole period of
nursing. Invalid bread is given to the
mothers for four weeks after child
birth. The value in calories is nearly
50 per cent higher than the amount
allowed them last spring and physi
cians think it "relatively ample."
The report argued that since the
number of women in Munich entitled
to this munificence is only about one
in every hundred of the (jopulation,
even eggs and fats might be allowed
them.
Germany's care for new babies
reaches the point of an itemized list
of the minimum supply of clothing
for a first born. This reads, 3 vests,
4 coats, 3 washable navel hinders, 12
napkins, 4 pairs stays, 2 outer binders.
The clothing cards assist mothers to
procure these. The amount of cloth
ing issued for subsequent babies de
pends upon the supply already in the
family.
Generous France.
France also deals generously, ac
cording to its resources, with expect
ant mothers; but it is taking a broad
er view of its duty toward its grow
ing boys and girls. Figaro of Decem
ber 15 announces that in the distribu
tion of bread cards especial favor will
be shown to pregnant women, to
young girls between the ages of 10
and 18, and to boys from 10 years of
age until called to the colors.
Patches Luxury in Belgium
A letter received by the Belgian in
formation bureau says:
"One does not dream of buying
linen. The prices are entirely un
approachable. More extraordinarily
still, to mend or repair one's clothes
has itself become a luxury permitted
to a few, since a spool of thread now
costs 60 ceiu to $1."
The following is from a letter writ
ten from Flanders:
"How do we live? You cannot
form any idea of it. In whatever di
rection we turn we run against Ger
man pride which, provocative and
scornful, eyes us from head to foot.
It is painful. We cannot endure it.
There are fines upon fines at a time
when money is so needed to buy in
dispensable things.
"For all that, what is indispensable
is still very difficult to obtain. We
have too much to die, too little to live.
We are becoming skeletons, but hope
sustains us. For the rest, we let the
days go by as God gives them to us.
"Now we have an opportunity to
prove how admirable one people are.
Our hearts break in contemplating all
the misery that we see about us; but
we are proud, nevertheless, to prove
that we can endure it all without hesi
tating or wavering.
"Germany is becoming more and
more covetous. It plucks us and
strangles us in every way."

Wise Persons Guard Yell Their Impulses to
Give Advice, But "Fools Blunder 'In," Etc.
By ADELAIDE KENNERLY.
VOLUNTARY advice loses its own case even before it lias
partial hearing.
. Yet, how blandly and how freely we pass it out to our friends
without first considering whether it fits or misfits the case of the poor
creature upon whom it it thrust.'
How queer that so many of us (99 per cent without exaggeration),
can steer our tug boats of imagination in exactly the channel that others
should follow over stormy seas, yet we cannot get our little life boat over
the smallest ripple of difficulty without great effort.
That which is valuable is not given away carelessly.
Lawyers charge for their advice because it is supposed to be valuable.
The average person, who is so free with advice and criticism is not
generous, but monopolizes time which belongs to others.
Advice givers usually have little information on the subjects they so
carelessly try to handle. They see but one side when there are always
two and sometimes a triangle, or worse.
Unsought advice is an infringement on individual rights.
Solicited advice, even, should be most tactfully, cautiously, and un
selfishly given, if given at all.
Raw presumption, it is, to advise other people in the operation of their
affairs!
Only those who go through a difficulty in mind, heart and. soul
often physical endurance can understand the first principles upon which
advice should be based.
Unsought advice is rarely ever taken, yet it is irritating and exasperat
ing. .
It fouls the atmosphere and disturbs the aura.
Wise persons guard well their impluscs to give advice, but "fools blunder
in where angels fear to tread." '

Oi a day when I did not play you
fair,

And I was s eager for the fray
And as loath to cheat or to run

You are playing the game that is
straight and true,
And I'd give my soul to stand next
to you,
Brother of mine!
The spirit, indeed, is still the same;
I should not shrink from the bat

Yet here I stay at the woman's
game.
Brother of mine!
If the last price must needs be
paid,

You will go forward, unafraid,

Death can so small a part destroy,
You will have known the fuller

Ah! would that I had been born a

The London Pictorial.
Conserving Black Diamonds
Many divisions of the child wel
fare have been helping the fuel
administration. The Chicago unit
was called upon by the local fuel
administrator to help him investigate
the many calls for fuel which followed
Dr. Garfield's order. Ward chairmen
were appointed, and on the first day
some of them had to inquire into and
report on as many as 50 cases.
The Wisconsin division at once
sent out a circular letter urging cooperation-
of all the people. They
suggested a movement to close the
saloons, and to bring influence to
bear on the governor if necessary.
Pennsylvania and Colorado are
both showing women good methods
of saving fuel for light and heat.
The Michigan division is helping
to secure observance of the national
"tag-your-shovel" day. This sort of a
tag day is different from any other
jn that no request for money is made.
The woman's committee urgei every
one who can to assist in the work of
distributing these tags, which bear
on one side the words, "Save that
shovelful of coal today for Uncle
Sam," and on the other hints for sav
ing coal.

Don'ts to Help You.
Don't pick too big potatoes.
Don't have your oven too hot.
Don't have different sized potatoes.
Don't put them in your oven drip

Don't fail to allow 45 minutes to
an hour for a medium-sized, six-ounce
potato.
Don't delay in getting them in

Don't plan to serve them as a sec

Advice to Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
From Bachelor Farmer.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I never lsuahefi so
much in all my life (unless It was the time
I first saw Charlie Chaplin) as I did over
Saturday's Bee. Have, a heart, girls, and
don't be too hard on an old bach. The
Ilea Is not running a matrimonial bureau
and Miss Fairfax If you don't help me stop
this thing The Bee Is liable to Investigate
me and have me taken In for running a
counter attraction to the war. It reminds
me of an attempt In my third year on the
farm to burn off some five acres of rough
prairie which I wanted to break to straight
en out a field. There was not a breath of
air stirring and all was serene until I
touched It off. Those of you who have
never seen a prairie fire cannot compre
hend what the words stand for. It took
seven back-fires and over four hours of the
hardest kind of work to get it under con
trol. You would never recognize your pres
ent hero In the blackened, charred, sobbing
sinner who threw himself In a heap and
had to be carried home. It's compromise,
girls, by calling it all off until after the
war. I'll write a word to each, pay the bill
and we will all set down to the old con
ventional life like bad little children who
have gone astray and. yes, repented.
Mrs. I. O. will excuse me under the cir
cumstances If I remain hidden; won't you?
I like the "Happy Schoolma'am" fine; sho

naces, ran a boarding house, kept books for
professors, corrected examination papers

I have managed an 800-aere farm. It was
a patch of sunflowers and cockl.burs when
I came here. For the first three years I
did not go to town once a month; worked
14 to 18 hours a day and never knew when
Sunday came around or went except as the
hired man told me It was his day off. I
have cut grain all day and shocked all night.
Have lost three crops of hogs straight run
ning and have lost three to eittht head In
cornstalks every year except this; lost 25
head of calves from blackleg this year be
fore we could control the disease. I have
a stoop to my shoulders and some gray in
my thatch. Now we are even and here's to
you.
Have all the fun you can, "Miss Some

A Decorative Sports
Costume

FASHION decrees that woman
must look athletic, possess a
breezy out-of-doors look, even
though her heaviest exercise is de
ciding what to wear. The discerning
eye knows the difference between the
girls who really swings a golf club
and the frail feminine who sits on the
Country club porch and looks pretty.
After all. if a woman is sufficiently
decorative, we forgive her anything
but being better looking than we are!
Black velveteen and white jersey
cloth furnish this decorative snort
costume. Revers and binding of jer
sey on black velveteen is strikingly
smart, when worn with a skirt of
white jersey, A hat of black straw
with crown of white felt completes a
costume which will "put the wearer
on the map" in any landscape of
spring or summer. This coat may
be effectively copied in Georgette
satin or charmeuse of brilliant colors.
