Athletic Club Opens
In July; Informal
Opening to Be Earlier
Omahans will probably plan their
iummer trips late this year, for no
one will want to leave town before
the opening of the new Athletic club
which is scheduled for the middle of
July. The summer season really prom
ises to be very gay this year when we
consider the possibilities for enter
taining at this most attractive club.
Already the society editor's mrnd is
i whirl of forma) dinners and cozy
luncheons and tea parties.
The word "athletic" may sound
very masculine, but you will find that
the club will have a decided feminine
touch, too, for it has been planned to
especially attract the ladies. It is
planned to hold an informal recep
tion just as foon as the club is in
shape. This will be prior to the for
mal opening and is planned merely
that the patrons may gain an idea
of- the beauties of the club even
though it will not be complete at that
time.
Directors of the Field club have
announced May 25 as the date of the
formal dinner-dance which will mark
the opening of the summer season.
We have no doubt hotels where our
young set has hopped all winter will
be abandoned as the warm evenings
grow warmer and longer. Don't be at
all surprised if the fascinating officers
give these dances a very military air
for we have noticed that where our
girls- abound there the officers are
found also.
The Country club and Happy Hal
low dub will also open the latter part
.of May and a number of hostesses
have their guest lists already com
plete for the opening dinner-dance.
With war work filling the days, many
Red Cross units meeting at these
same clubs, and then being obliged
to dance with the best looking men in
the United States army in the even
ing, we will all be doing our pa
triotic bit and the summer resorts
will probably not be so alluring as of
yore.
War Orphans' Benefit.
Master James McMullcn holds the
magic key which will swing wide the
door of "Mother Goose Land" on Sat
urday evening at the Dance Carnival
in the Brandeis theater, to be given
for the fatherless children of France.
A huge book will appear when the cur
tain rises, and before your very eyes
:he characters little Miss Muffett. Bo
Peep, the three blind mice, Jack
Horner and a horde of others will step
From the covers as little James Mc
Mullen turns the pages.
A mysterious gentlemen who is said
to be the best dancer in Omaha will
give a French dancing number, but
his identity is a dark secret.
A number of pretty girls and attrac
tive women will sell flowers on the
streets Ssturday for these homeless
kiddies in France. As Sunday is
Mother's day the white carnations
will sell rapidly, especially when they
are offered by such attractive mer
chants. Wedding Announcement.
Mrs. William McCauley announces
the marriage of her daughter, Mar
guerite Claire, to Frank J. de la Vega,
which took place Monday morning at
St. Peter's church, Father McCarthy

A wedding breakfast was served at
the home of the bride's mother to
the immediate families. After a short
wedding trip Mr. and Mrs. de la
Vega will be at their new home, 1022
South Fifty-second street, this city.
A quiet wedding took place this
morning at St. Mary's Magdalene's
church when Miss Genevieve Ryan of
Dubuque, la., became the bride of Mr.
Bart L. Mollo, also of Dubuque. Fath
er Finney performed the ceremony.
The bride is a school friend of Mrs.

"Hello Girls"
Would Serve
U. S. in France
Nebraska young women are inquir
ing concerning service in France as
telephone operators so that Prof. Sar
ka Hrbkova, chairman of the Wom
an's Defense committee, has issued
announcements directing such inquir
ers to the Civil Service commission
or to the United States signal corps
at Washington
It is interesting to note that be
sides conforming to the qualifications
set by the United States signal corps
for membership in the telephone unit,
which is a part of the United States
army, the operators are now required
to pass a psychological examination
to determine their motives for want
ing to go abroad.
"Out of 7,500 applications for mem
bership in the unit of telephone girls
which has been sent to France, 250
have been selected," is the statement
of Captain Wesson, signal corps offi
cer, in charge of the unit. One hun
dred women in the official olive drab
uniform of the signal corps have been
sent abroad and bO are awaiting or
ders in this country.
These girls are stationed in groups
of 10 in American bases of supplies,
and points of embarkation. They will
not be nearer than 2i miles from the
front. New York state sent the
greatest number of telephone opera
tors, and California and Massachu
setts tied for Second. An officer of
the signal corps, who is experienced
in the employment of telephone oper
ators, is in charge of the housing and
general welfare of the operators in
France.
Important Educational
I deals in Wartime
Hot Springs, Ark., May 7. After
the "three Rs" of reading, writing and
arithmetic, music is the most impor
tant and the most practical subject
taught in the public schools, in the
opinion of Philander P. Claxton, com
missioner of education of the United
States. Mr. Claxton was to have ad
dressed the convention of the Gen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs
here today, but was unable to be pres
ent on account of pressing govern
ment work. Instead he sent a mes
sage which was read to the conven
tion. "I believe most fully in the value
of music as an important factor in the
education and life of any people," he
wrote, "and especially of a free peo
ple with a democratic form of gov
ernment. The songs of a nation may
not be more important than its laws
but their influence even in determin
ing legislation and obedience to law,
which in a democracy is only the for
mulation of public opinion and popu
lar sentiment, cannot easily be esti
mated. After reading, writing and
arithmetic, I consider music the most
important and the most practical sub
ject taught in our schools. I hope
your federation will constantly and
persistently use its influence for the
promotion of the teaching of music
in all our schools of whatever grade."
Commissioner Claxton also asked
the club women to work for the wel
fare of children during the war, to
provide facilities for preparing for
intelligent American citizenship the
great masses of boys and girls who
do not go through high schools; to
give special attention to the needs
of rural schools; to further the Ameri
canization movement for inculcating
American principles in the immi
grants, and to lend aid to the eradica
tion of adult illiteracy in this country.
"We are waging this war that our
children may live in a world in which
democracy and freedom may be safe
from all menace of autocratic and
militaristic powers," the letter said.
"It is equally important that their
world be made safe from disease,
ignorance, vice and low and selfish
ideals."

ambulance company, wants five men

pany in training at Camp Taylor,

Although the spirit of war economy
and war earnestness has placed en
tertaining on a different footing than
ever before in our lives; still there
are some occasions that call for the
gathering of large numbers at a
luncheon or dinner. At this, time of
year particularly, schools find many
occasions for entertaining groups of
people, and church suppers still have
a place An our social calendar.
It goes without saying . that any
public gathering will follow the spirit
and letter of conservation just as all
patriotic Americans are following
these in their homes. I lie problem
is to plan the most attractive menu
under the given conditions. Fven the
100 per cent substitution (no wheat)
can be carried out if one has the will
to do so.
The Home Economics Extension
Service of the University of Nebraska
sent out a pamphlet recently on sug
gestive menus for high school ban
quets. The menus are rather mod
erate in cost: and the exact quantities
of food for 50 people are given. The
menus are as follows:

No Need to
Disband Clubs
Hot Springs, Ark., May 7 There
has been danger throughout the na
tion's first war year that club women
of America would abandon their
study program in their zeal for war
work, but it has been discovered that
knitting and the reading of papers go
well together, Mrs. Minnie Clark
Budlong, chairman of library exten
sion work, told the General Federa
tion of Women's Clubs' convention
here today.
"Many clubs felt at first that they
must sacrifice every pleasure, even to
the weekly or fortnightly meeting of
their study classes, in order to do
everything possible for Red Cross and
allied activities," she said. "Fortu
nately most clubs soon discoverer that
they could accomplish quite as much
with their hands while keeping up
with their club work. They could go
as a club to sew or knit and listen
to a paper or a chapter from a book
while busily engaged in work for the
welfare of our soldiers. Consequent
ly'comparatively few clubs have dis
banded, although many have light
ened their programs and a few are
meeting less frequently than before.
"We are all learning that we must
keep heads as well as hands and
hearts in the best possible condition,
for the many new duties the war is
bringing and we need to study and
understand world conditions as never
before." .
