THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, MAY 7, 1918. x r Conducted hy Ella Fleishritan. i Dangers to Women . In War Industries v - Hot Springs, Ark., May 6. Dangers to women in industry, suddenly "plunged into occupations to which '.. they were unaccustomed before the nation! entrance into the war, were . emphasized by Mrs Minnie'U. Rutherford-Fuller, social worker, graduate - lawyer, and a representative of Amer ica at The Hague conference of wo- . men, who addressed the biennial con vention of the General Federation of Women's Clubs here this afternoon. : She is president of the Arkansas Wo men's Christian Temperance union and chairman of legislation for the Arkansas Federation of Women's ' , Club - Because so many of , the occupa tions are new to women they are de- ; void of the safeguards which have beejn slowly built' in occupations, not new to women, she added, urging that if erirls could not be kept from mes senger service they should at least b? excluded from night work; that evator girls be guaranteed proper working conditions; that women rail way and street car conductors needed protection from men as well as ade nuate wages, and that juvenile courts ewer the Country indicated demoral ization in family life, showing an in crease of from 35 fo 75 per cent in juvenile delinquency. The evils can be averted and remedied by men and women working together, she declared, although for many of the" club women it may re quire a 24-hour day instead of an 8 ncur day. ,The taskhe outlined was .o co-operat with all existing agen cies in maintaining existing social standards, lifting higher standards, keeping wages in sight of the cost of living, prohibiting night work for . women .and girls and arranging for ich "hour shifts" for women so that time will be left to keep the home Sres burning and that wages will be adequate to keep the fires "fueled." Man Power Wasted. Pointing to the vast potential value of man power now going to waste in the United States through lack of means to utilize idle forces in produc tive employment and declaring this a timely hour in which "to give the man in the shadow in our prisons the proud privilege of contributing to the world's need," Mrs. G. A. Brown of Mangum, Okla., urged delegates to the biennial to support a bill already in troduced in congress which seeks util ization of the labof of federal and other prisoners in the manufacture of government supplies, especially those ; for war purposes. Mrs. Brown has advocated many lines of prison reform, having had charge of that work in the General Federation of Women's Clubs. She is a member of the Southern Sociolog- s ical congress and Oklahoma represen tative of the war board of the na tional committee on prison and prison labor. "Work is the prisoner's right," said she, "a blessing without disguise to those condemned to idleness and soli tude. But it should be under condi tions which do not debase the state nor degrade the prisoner. As he is now called to labor for his country as a form of war service, the consciousness that he is thus squaring his account with society will bring increased self respect and new courage with which k face the world upon release." By MELLIFICIA. Soda Fountain - Language in Fort Omaha Canteen , One must be very proficient to work in the canteen at Fort Omaha. You may think you know the name of every frozen delicacy in existence, but we defy you to fill the orders of these chaps who come from "Some where east of Suez," for they speak f. foreign language in the sundae line. You see, in that educational center, commonly known as Hartford, Conn., a sundae is all dressed up with a euphonious! title, viz., "college ice," ' so when one of these boys with a back east accent and a slur on the last "r" asks you for a college ice just bring him back an ordinary dish of Ice cream with a few cherries on it . and he will be .perfectly happy. And don't be alarmed when a dash- , in chap with a white band on his hat insists on having a "peanut butter ' scotch sundae," for' you will know that he is from Scranton, Pa., and that this delectable dish is just a . habit with him. In the sunny south every one in dulges in "dopes," as they are fondly called. There are numbers of men at the post whose sentences are in tercepted with numbers of "you alls," and they tell us that we don't make their favorite coca colas as they do at home. , Our homely but ipopular sundae is known in Noo Yawk as a "frat," just why we don't know, for, when all is said and done, it's just the came dif h exactly. .- . The canteen is the most popular pastime at the fort wlthput a doubt, tor a most attractive captain who had iust arrived from Camp Grant, told Mellificia so. "It really is most interesting," said 'this erstwhile Yale man, "especially as they change, the scenery every few hour. . Of course, we all know he meant the blue-veiled canteeners. 1 ' Events to Come.

Plain Gingham and Pique By GERTRUDE BERESFORD GINGHAM shows no abatement in its attack on summer fashions. In waves of color from plaids to plain and back again to stripes, it crowds the landscape and is always good style. There are many "silk ging hams," but the cotton fabric is just as attractive if well made. Black and white plaid with a line of red makes this fetching frock whose waistcoat, skirt border and cuffs are white pique. White pearl or black bone buttons are a good touch. The hat is made of matching gingham, and, like the slen der waist, wears a black patent leath' er belt. This frock is so easy to make. The simplest' shirtwaist and plain gathered skirt pattern may be used as a guide. Parties At the Theater. . Miss Ruth Mills will entertain at a box party at the Orpheum this eve ning.
