WHERE have our Rebs in gray all gone and where are our Yanks
in blue?
They have melted their hatred and buried the Mason and Dixon
line under the great banner the Stars and Stripes of America. The hearts
of the gray and the hearts of the blue have turned to our boys in khaki,
brown.
To a true American the feeling that existed in the south since the
civil war was a disgrace to the Union. .
- To hear the unjust accusations' and the harsh criticisms flung at the
grandfathers of the present generations was the cause of many a fight.
To hear a southerner laughingly tell that he was twenty-one-and-traveled
before he knew damyankee was, or should be, two words, gave
the average northerner cause to turn away in disgust
And why? Why was there such a vivid line in the minds of the blues
and the grays?
Because they were all too provincial anfd because they talked glibly
and wildly on subjects of which they knew nothing. Southerners read
southern history in which every battle lost was a base violation of human
rights by the north, and every victory a glortus achievement for the men
in gray. Northerners read northern history, in which northern victories
were brilliant always their methods were justifiable and their deeds heroic.
To learn of the brutalities of the north, read southern history, and to,
learn that all southerners wre not white-whiskered gentlemen-and-to-the-manner-bom,
but low down scoundrels, read northern history.
Actual travel broadens vision and it helped to dim the Mason and
Dixon line, yet even unto the .third generation hatred for each other
crept down the path of ignorance with those who were unable to travel.
But one great sorrow, one great common grief has scattered it to
oblivion. With tear-dimmed eyes all veterans of the civil war are wav
ing adieus to their grandsons as they march off to fight in the world con
flict. They are all Americans these sons of the north and south and
the blues and grays clasp hands as they watch the youth of this genera
tion march in khaki brown, the symbol of one great nation,' with their
hatred buried under the Star Spangled Banner.
An idea of the growth in Red Cross
work in Omaha may be gained from
these figures: Last year the local out
put of surgical hospital supplies was
72,000. From February 1 to February
23 of this month the output was
90,000, or more than 2.0,000 above the
whole of last year's work.
Wanted Workers for the Red
Cross salvage committee. The women
are at work on a plan of dividing the
city into districts and establishing sta
tions. They also hope to have a truck
for this work.
The coat hangers which have been
collected and sold to the cleaners' es
tablishments have brought $40 for the
Red Cross.

Excellent bread can be made of
wheat, barley and rye.
"Eggs are just as important as
bandages. Our soldiers will need
them before they need bandages," says
Miss Grace Tarker, New York, who is
in Omaha to preside at a conference
of the National League for Woman's
Service.
"Every woman in the community
ought to co-operate with the Red
Cross. Women naturally take to re
lief work. Almost every one can roll
bandages. They should be encour.
aged to do the harder work of back
yard gardening and poultry raising in
order to solve the food problem," de
dared Miss Parker.
Personal jealousy -and contention
must be eliminated before women's
work will become standardized, Miss
Parker emphasized.
"We cannot progress until we have
a more-spiritual understanding oJ
war. The English and the Canadian
women have that now because they
have made so many sacrifices" she
says.
Sacrifice, Not Substitute.
Instead of looking around for a
pleasant substitute for pie, this leader
thinks we should give it up and not
try to find something to take its place.
"We hear much about substitutes,"
she says, "but not anything about sac
rifices." Another woman's work strongly ad
vocated by Miss Parker is American
ization. She advocated public patri
otic talks in the native language of
the people of the various settlements.
"Your visiting nurses should work
with a force of supplementary volun
teer workers. .These women can be
trained to go into the homes after
an introduction is gained through the
nurse. They can then carry on 'he
work of food conservation, hy cue
and patriotism.
Mis Parker believes the morale
of our army at the front depend on
the morale of the - people at home,
largely on the women. It is the wo
men who write the letters. If they
talk peace the soldiers in the trenches
"Go Ahead and Knit,
Ladies! Says Secretary
Of the Navy Daniels
' It has often been rumored that the
Navy department does not welcome
knitted garments for the sailors. Sec
retary Daniels denies the charge in a
letter in the Woman's Home Com
panion. He says:
"The Navy department does, of
course, furnish necessary clothing for
the sailors, bnt the additional com
forts which are provided by the wo
men, working through the Red Cross
naval auxiliary, are very acceptable
to the men in the service and, in ad
dition to the comfort which they af
ford, the men are cheered by the
knowledge that the women at home
have them in remembrance and are
anxious to send these articles tor
their comfort. The department is
very glad indeed to have them and
they are of real service and satis
faction to the men and are greatly
prized by them."
Wont Carry Any r
PackagesYet!
In the March Woman's Home Com
panion one woman tells how she feels
about the "carry home your pur
chases campaign; she says:
"Personally, I will carry my pack
ages gladly when .it is necessary to
my country. But only Uien will i
carry them. I try never to make ex
tra deliveries for my, grocer or
butcher and goodness knows I
haven't the silly pride that thinks it
is demeaning to carry packages, be
thev of any size whatever. A few sen
sible shopkeepers who really want to
reduce their costly delivery systems
offer the economy thus effected to
their customers. They have various
prices. If you say, 'Charge and send,'
you pay the full price. If you say,
'Charge and carry or 'Cash and send,'
you get a smalt discount If yon say,
'Cash and carry, you get a still
larger discount Thus the customer
who really wants to economize (for
herself) can pay cash and carry her
purchase and" people with longer
parses can have the ' benefit; of the
convenience of the delivery system by
paying for it. Now that's an honest
way of managing ih It doesn't make
me feel morepatriotic to be saving
money for a storekeeper whose prices
have already advanced from 25 to 200
per cent on everything I buy by car
rying my small packages and letting
him reduce his delivery system at the
expense of my muscles."
