Salvage departments in other cities
have been doing an increasing busi
ness. 'One city was honored by hand
ing over a monthly average of $1,000
to the Red Cross, which was realized
from the sale of salvaged goods.
The local department has been en
gaged in salvage work for four months
and the task is increasing day by day.
More than $500, which resulted from
the sale of junk and other goods dur
ing the month of March, has been
turned over to the Red Cross.
Gould Deitz, chairman of the local
Red Crss committee, is highly
pleased with the efforts of tht
salvage workers, and has shown
a keen interest in the "Turning-Trash-Into-vCash"
idea. ' .
The salvage department (telephone
Douglas 8123) is in need of any sort
of article, whether it be junk or of
use. A telephone call to headquar
ters will bring an automobile any
where in the city.

.... Gipsy Smith, famous English evan-
gelist, who is touring this country
it the direction of the British foreign
...office and who speaks at the Audi
torium at 3:30 o'clock Sunday after
noon, arrived in Omaha Saturday ac
companied by his secretary, W. Gor
don Sprigg. They are at the Hotel
Fontenelle.
, Mr. Smith passed two years and
eight months in the field in France.
Many times he was under fire with
the troops and he wears a decoration
From King George for distinguished
service with troops in" action.
"We will win in the end, there is
no question about it," the veteran war
.worker said.. "The -.news of the re
sponse of the, people of this :ountry
Iq, appeals for money by your gov
ernment is the best news you could
give a Britisher, for we depend on
your money, your men, your ships
and your food supplies and munitions
to be the deciding factor in this
struggle.
Warm Up to Sammies.
. "The Britishers and the Americans
are getting closer together and if
we did not have your support the
situation would be what Tommy At-
kins would call a 'washout.'
"When this war is over and the
Germans have gone down to defeat,
and they know in their hearts now
' that they are eventually doomed to
failure, the rulers of the German na
tion should not be allowed to. rank
. "fcmong the rulers of the powers of
the world and the German people
should be ostracised until such time
N.IS they learn how to treat others.
At the present the Germans do not
even know how to treat each other.
and they should be governed by the
nictates ot me minds of the victors,
not the hearts. We must not let hu
manitarian instincts run away with
our judgment when we come, to the
point where we shall be the dictators
9f the German future.
Germany's Many Failures.
"I do not think that the German
people will stick to their rules, but if
they 4o we must ostracise them. We
must tell them what to do and then
make them do it.
"t no time since the starting of
the war have the Germans committed
snything but strategical blunders;
they have accomplished nothing that
they set out to do expect the frightful,
the iiorrible and the fiendish; they
did1 Hot reach" Paris; they did. not
cross the Marne; they did not reach
Calais; they have failed utterly. The
present offensive may not be the final,
but it is the supreme effort of the
German high command.
. "The German high command knows
now that they are defeated. They are
afraid to let the people know the
truth of the situation and they are
basing the present unprecendented
drive on the hope that peace negotia
tions may be forced before the United
States can get sufficient forces into
the field to sway the tide of battle and
bring the success to tlje allies which
will be ours eventually.
. Make Deep Impression. ;
"Few American troops are in the
iron,i line irencnes. mat tact is
shown by your small casualty lists.
England's casualty list for the last
i about ZOO.OOO.
American troops made the
impressions on the English when
reached London and th?v are
V living up to the mark set for them.
T A tremendous ovation was accorded
them in the first parade through Lon
don streets."
The visitors commented favorably
on the-appearance of Omaha.
During the Liberty loan drive ap
peals have been made by the speaker
for subscription and ill Cincinnati
$625,000 worth of bonds were sold
it the conclusion of the address.
More than $10,000 was subscribed
additionally to hear Gipsy Smith sing
i song. He complied and additional
stanzas were rendered at a price of
$2,500 each until his voice gave out.
Owing ,to the exceptional record
made by Omaha and the state in
drives of various kinds Mr. Smith
will ,make no silicitation of any kind.

Since the idea of making use of i of magazines, junk, furniture, clothes,
undesirable ornaments was originated
An unique idea of "turning trash
into cash" is being materialized by
workers at the Omaha Red Cross sal
vage department, 1409 Harney street.
Many have heard of the work done
by the volunteers and contributed
generously toward making the idea a
success.
The purpose of the salvage depart
ment, affiliated closely with other
branches of the Red Cross, is to make
use of trash, such as books, old
clothes, bric-a-brac, furniture, lamps
and junk, toward the end of raising
funds to carry on its war activities.
Anything from fish hooks to books
on occult psychology is acceptable
at the salvage headquarters.
Much of the goods will be sold out
right to junk dealers, while the better
donations are to go at a popular auc
tion. The complete law and medical li
brary of the former J. E. Boyd home
was given to the salvage department
to be used in the interest of the Red
Cross. Mrs. Charles Hayward fur
nished a truckload of household fur
niture toward the cause. i
OMAHA TO BOOST
MISSOURI EIVER
AT WATER MEET
Omaha will Send a delegation to the
convention of the Mississippi Valley
Waterways association at St. Louis,
May 14 and 15. R. B. Howell, J.
Stewart White and' Commissioner R.
H. Manley, of the Chamber of Com
merce, will comprise the delegation.
M. Manley expects to go to Wash
ington and will stop at St. Louis on
his return trip.
Considerable interest attaches to
this convention, because of the con
tract the government has just let for
24 steel barges and six power boats
for use on the upper Mississippi river.
This is a direct result of the conven
tion of the association last year, when
an effort was made to get the govern
ment to increase the use of the west
ern waterways.
The Omaha delegation now has
hopes of some action looking to
greater use of the tMissouri river.
While Omaha has a few boats plying
between Omaha and Decatur with
success, -an effort will be made to
have the government show more in
terest in the use of the Missouri as
a means of transportation to relieve
the congestion on the railroads.

Oft. E. R. TARRY - 249 Bee BulUinj, Omaha Ne
six' months ago and approved by
Washington officials of the Red Cross,
salvage branches have been' opened
in every large city in the United
States.
Frank Burkley, prominent Omahan,
was made director of the local sal
vage department, and has , spared
much time to lead the work toward
success.
Mrs. Frank Adams, president of
the department, spends most of her
time at headquarters, attending to
the management' of the pTace.
A corps of automobile drivers tin
der Captain Mrs. Allan Parmer, is
always available to collect donated
goods in any part of the city. ,
Miss Margaret Riley, secretary and
salesmanager, has become adept in
the trade of dealing with junk buy
ers. Twelve assistant workers change
time in working daily at the salvage
headquarters.
Much work to be done? Indeed.
Each day, truckload after truckload
undesirable trinkets and yancient,
dilapidated bric-a-brac are brought to
the headquarters to be assorted and
resold.
Since la,st January, when theOmaha
branch was started, no less than $20
has been realized daily from the sale
of donated articles.
Miss Margaret Riley,, is accorded
vith distinctive cleverness for selling
anything from blown-out electric light
fuse to an antique graphophone.
So far, fiive used victrolas, donated
by Thomas Mickel, have been sold,
and a promise that as fast as the ma
chines are sold, more will be given,
was offered by Mr. Mickel.
Nearly 100 ladies' sample hats were
given the salvage department by The
ile Charf company, milliners, and al
ready many have been chosen by or
sold to shrewd shoppers. However,
some choice hats are left for the auc
tion, sale.
During the past week the motor
car drivers have been busy going
about the city, making up a large col-
Where
Friendship
Should
Cease
Making room for a "good
fellow" in business, may
mean sacrificing a "good
workman."
Don't hire a friend or relative if you value your or-
ganization and expect to maintain discipline, , y '.
Of course there are exceptions but that proves
rather than disproves THE RULE.
Regardless of th nature of the business, whether
it be merchandising, a trade or a profession, you "expect
of your.employe? Intelligent, faithful", enthusiastic service
and a dollar's worth for, a dollar in wage. " 1
Your "friend'' or relative expects more of YOTJ
and expects to give less in. return and his example as
going to awake resentment in some and kill ambition in
others. '. : " ) .
In selecting my staff of Dental Specialists I have
steadfastly refused to consider any "claims" except those
of QUALIFICATIONS. : ' V
I realized that every dentist practicing in .my office
holds my "proxy" so to speak his skill or lack of skill,
his care or lack of same his manner, breeding,' courtesy
all REFLECT UPON ME. and I have alwavs tried to
3 select as my associates' only those whom I felt I could
voucn tor personally, professionally and morally.
I have kept every1 man strictly on merit "make
good or make room" is an unwritten lavt? here.
Because I have demanded much of my associates,
I have always been carefuj to make it plain that I was
ready to give much no "good fellow" has evftr replaced
a "good workman" here. ' '
My entire time is taken up attending to the business
details of this large practice, and I want to feel SURE
that every Dentist in the office is able to, and will, give
fevery patient, rich or poor, child or adult, just the verv
best possible care and attention and perform the work
lentrusted thim as skillfully and conscientiously as if I
were standing at the chair in person. " .
, That is why I unhesitatingly GUARANTEE every
piece of workdone in this office.
