LONDON guests of Mr. and Mrs. William G. Ure, who had heard Major

Lauder, Omaha's
Slam at Knitting
Needles Approved
By an Omaha Woman
Prominent Omaha women who are
industrious knitters were not at all
hurt or discouraged by Mrs. St Clair
Stobart's remarks about the "silly
knitting needles." Mrs. Stobart ex
pressed very nearly the same eiii
ments as Miss Helen Fraser of 'xn
dond, who told that all the knitting
in England was done by the old
women.
Mrs. Milton Barlow, one of he
most proficient knitters in the city,
who heads the knitting division of
the National Service league, agrees
with Mrs. Stobart perfectly.
"Many women knit one sweater
and feel that they have done their
bit, while in reality they should work
early and late for the cau.se," said
Mrs. Barlow. Mrs. Barlow also
agrees with Mrs. Stobart that we
have not awakened to the seriousness
of the war, and that when we dc the
"silly knitting needles" will not be
so much in evidence.
Major Stobart feels that knitting
should be done by the elderly wo
men, by the physically disabled or by
the very young children, while the
more able-bodied women should be
training to take the places of the men
when they are called to the froat
English women in ammunition lac
tones are doing the heaviest war
work.

A pretty dress made out three and
one-quarter yards of material, without
any buttons, tapes, hooks or eyes, all
complete in 45 minutes! Isn't that
every kind of conservation rolled into
one?
Ora Cne, noted fashion expert, is
responsible for it. He showed a
group of Central High school girls, at
the Empress. Wednesday afternoon,
just how to do it.
Miss Pauline Etsasser. attractive
'model, stepped out on a gangway in
the theater and Mr. Cne slipped the
one-piece garment over her head and
then explained just how to fashion the
dress.
Follow the instruction given In the
diagram and no difficulty will be ex
perienced in reproducing this dress.
Cut three squares, each one yard
square. Fold one square from corner
to corner as in folding a shawl. The
cross as marked in the waist diagram
is cut exactly in the center of the
square. From A to C measures five
inches. From D to B measures 10
inches. Thus each slit measures two
and one-half inches while the longer
slit at the front measures seven and
American Women
Hold First Place
With Boys in France
French women may arouse the ad
miration of American soldiers, but
they cannot displace American wo
men's place in the hearts of the boys,
according to a letter from an Omaha
soldier, Harry Sigwart, son of A. T.
Sigwart. in a letter to one of, The Bee
staff, i Young Sigwart has been in
France more than six months, having
gone over with the 13th railway en
ineers, among the first over there
and the first regulars to be in active
service.
Visiting London and Paris is full
payment for having gone across, he
wrote. "Mv ,preference.runs consid
erably to Paris because it is all we
have read of it and more. Have never
yet seen so many good-looking wo
men. Perhaos thev looked excep
tionally pretty though, for it had
been such a long time since we had
seen any women. Up in our neck of
the woods, they are few and far be
tween. But at that my preference is
greatly for our good American girls.
Nothing like 'em on the universe.".
"Winter is now on its last legs and
I'm sure glad, for winter is bad enough

the comforts, but over here a little of

to Eeep Prices Down!
THE retail merchant with whom you deal does not like present prices any better than you
do. He fa the victim of circumstances. The producers of raw materials get more for
foods than ever before. For example, during the past fiscal year, Armour and Company
paid raisers 47 higher, or more for livestock than during the year 1915 preceding our entry
into the war, and with virtually no increase in the total weight received. Thus, it must be
obvious that the retailer's stock costs him much more money.
SO TO do the same volume as formerly, a dealer
has to tie up considerably increased investment
In stock. The interest charges are heavier. And,
with other similar factors militating against him,
the probability Is that his veas profits are no more
than they used to be if, indeed, they are as much.
Without, relief In sight until things return to nor
mal, it becomes apparent the only way dealers can
keep down prices to you is to reduce operating ex
penses. And here, you can help.

uniform quality on bulk goods.
If you wDl buy foods in packages Instead of In bulk,
you will cut the dealer's wage bills and release men
for the country's service. A package can be handed
down off the shelf quicker than the quantity can be
weighed out and wrapped.
And if you will confine your purchases to standard

Buy Oval Label Foods
THIS last constitutes an important reason why
housewives should buy Armour's Oval Label
Products. Under this famous label, which indicates
Armour's top quality no matter on what kind of
food you find it at once a trademark and a grade
mark you can buy practically everything you need
among table staples. Soups, fish, meats, vegetables,
condiments, fruits, beverages and many other neces
sities come under it
Thus, the Oval Label can assure you of much more
than merely the best quality. By enabling the dealer
to dispense with slow-moving stock and confine his
purchases to one standard brand covering every kind
of food, it cuts his cost of doing business and keeps
his prices down.
Help your dealer to concentrate Ms Investment In

Quality Products.
