Miss Agnace Neary, Omaha nurse, has been decorated by the French government for "long services at the battle front" News of the special distinction conferred on this brave woman reached Omaha through a letter sent to her sisters, the Misses Margaret and Josephine Neary, well known resident nurses. Miss Neary modestly related that she and other nurses sta tioned in her hospital had been given "a small palm leaf medal, which is a diploma i or long service." SAW PARIS BOMBARDED. When this Omaha young woman left here three years ago she went to France as a member of an English unit sent abroad by the famous late Dr. Murphy of Chicago. She served six months in a British base hospital and has been since that time at the American hospital of Paris, on the Marne. The day after the big drive on Paris Miss Neary went into the French capital to buy a suit and hat. It was the first suit the had bought during her three years' service. She was able to leave her work at that time and she went shopping amid a rain of falling shells. Here is her own story of her adventures: BUYS HAT AND SUIT. "I needed a hat and suit and am now waiting for my train to take me back at 5:15. The people are going around with their business as if nothing hap pened, so why shouldn't I? The French people are so brave; in fact, I don't see any change since the drive in the spirit of the people. You per haps have read about the accident to the church on Good Friday. "Wc are quite near the firing line. It may be sheer foolishness instead of nerve, but I never thought I would brave the city while it was being bombarded." Following the journey into Paris Miss Neary wrote this letter to her sisters: "I was too exhausted to collect my thoughts to write tonight. I haven't slept any since the big drive. I was in Paris the day after the big bom bardment and everything was quiet and assuming the normal state of af fairs. You know the shells from the 'ung range guns pass over our hospi tal, but as we are not the objective, we feel safe. Today again they are bombing, but I must have a fitting on my suit. As we take the under ground train we feel safe in travel ing, at least for the present. I have been rather lucky in having an Eng lish speaking patient in the hospital to help me with my French. Hears Cannon Roar. "We hear the cannons all day and night and troops are being rushed to the front past the hospital, day and night. Refugees are arriving from the invaded district, which makes it look like real war. I ar rived in Paris and, as Miss Monahan and I were having some lunch, some shells dropped near us; that is, about a mile away, which is near enough for German bombs, and, "believe me, I rather hate to start out again. "There is some fighting today, for all day and night we could hear the bom bardment. I do hope we 'Get 'em,' as they say. Maybe we will have to wait, but not long, I believe." In a more recent letter Miss Neary, who is now a Red Cross nurse, was delighted with the part Omaha has played in the work. She says: "I am so proud of Omaha being so generous in her Red Cross donations." Sister to Become Nurse. This brave war nurse is reticent about telling of her experiences, but she has met with difficulties from the first. When her unit, consisting of 35 nurses and doctors, arrived at Liver pool, through a mistake, no one met them. In London, the same thing happened. They went to the hotel and finding that crowded, hd to sit up the whole of their first night in Eng land. Her letters fb her sisters describe the manner in which wounds are dressed and the many new medical discoveries made in the work. Miss Neary has not been ill a sin gle day and was only off duty during the two compulsory vacations each year. During one of these she went to Monte Carlo and another time visited Lourdes and the Spanish bor der. Miss Neary was one of the most popular and successful of Omaha nurses. For some time before she volunteered for war work she passed ; "'f Sosw'ck Pith much of her time doing special work for Dr. Murphy in Chicago. She is pictured here in the uniform which she wears when caring for the ceaseless stream of wounded men who pour in from the nearby trenches.

She has taken the examination for active Red Cross service, and because of the pres ent big drive for 40,000 nurses, she ex pects soon to be chosen.

OCCULTISM SHOWN FROM LABORATORY Dr. Frederick Finch Strong Presents Available Evidence to Reveal What Exists Beyond Senses. Dr. Frederick Finch Strong, for many years a lecturer at Tuft's col lege, Boston, gave the first of his series of three lectures on "The Realms Beyond the Senses," before an interested audience in the hall of the Lyric building last evening.

Some of his experiemnts with high frequency currents are most spectacular, many of them being ori ginal. It was shown that science has al ready proven in the laboratory the existence of 60 octaves of vibrations of which we sense only 14, eleven as sound, two as heat and one as light. The other 40 octaves, were not known AT THE THEATERS Promises of the Press Agents.
