Kiddies Make Black
Cat8 of Old Silk Hose
For French Orphans
Save the tops of your old silk hose
for the Belgian children 1 What could
De made of old silk hose? Stocking
caps? No, indeed; they want one
of the cunning black cats that are
made from these bits of silk, by the
tiny fingers of the Omaha kindergar-
i ten children.
Very fierce looking animals they
are, too, and when one sees a whole
stack o' black cats made by our chil
dren they are a formidable looking
army. The feet are cut off of the
hose, scissors and thread are brought
into action and before you can wink,
a life-size cat stands before you. The
body is stuffed with ravelings, the
ears are made from tiny pieces of
the silk carefully fastened to the head,
white threads form the whiskers,
while the beady little eyes are repre
sented by small white buttons. And
what is that long, braided piece of
black silk? Ah, thereon hangs a
tail! The fiercest looking one that
ever graced a feline is the finishing
touch to these "every thread silk"
cats.
Children at Saratoga school were
Hie first to make these toys for their
tiny friends in France and Belgium.
Every box of warm clothing that is
unt to the fatherless kiddies "over
there" contains one of these toys
ind can't you Just hear the shouts
of glee that will greet them when
these boxes are opened in some de
vastated town where only sorrow and
suffering seem to abound? A toy is
more to a child than food and drink I
and these small Omahans are surely
doing a bit toward gladdening the
hearts of the tiny folk across the sea.
Horton-Hoke Wedding.
Lovely garden flowers, iris, daf-
fodils, sweet peas and tulips formed

Japanese Women

"Few Americans realize how much
Japan has done during this war for
tnt Red Cross," says the foreign press
buresu of the woman's committee of

"Its Red Cross membership far ex
ceeds ours in the early days of the
war; and it maintained hospitals in
England, France and Russia for a
whole year, just as we did. Like our
own, these hospitals had to be given
up foi a time for lack of funds. After
t.iis. however, Japan subscribed and

SUMMER evenings
demand a wrap,
and the time has
passed when "any old
thing" will do. An at
tractive cape is really
an economy, for fre
quently it makes a
gown, not new or
fresh, passable beneath
the mantle of its kindly
charity. Lustrous satin
in a shade of vivid rob
in's egg blue makes
this delightful wrap.
The roll collar is of
palest yellow char
meuse, though a broad
band of silver braid,
ending in two silver
tassels, will make an
easy neck finish on
such a cape, construct
ed by the home dressmaker.

advice I can give you. Just go along
quietly and calmly make friends with all

Battalion of Turkish
Women
That there is a battalion of Turk
ish women to serve behind the front
is, perhaps, the most interesting of
recent announcements from the For
eign News Service of the woman's
committee, Council of National De
fense. A telegram from Constantinople
to the Rhenischer Gazette says that
Turkish women are to be admitted to
the army. The Association of Ottoman
Women has sent out appeals to wo
men between the ages of 18 and 30
to enroll in the battalion just created.
This will be attached to the first corps
of the Turkish army, and will work
eight hours a day back of the front.
For the present the officers of this
battalion, both commissioned and non
commissioned, will be men, but wo
men will replace them an soon as
trained.
"This battalion," says the woman's
committee, "is the equivalent, at least
so far as it goes, of the British Waacs
(woman's army auxiliary corps) and
a step in advance of what has been
attempted by this country or, so far
as the committee knows, by any other
of the allied countries, providing, as it
does, opportunity for women to actu
ally serve in the army and behind the
battle line. Previous reports arriving
through the Foreign News Service
have indicated that many Turkish wo
men were taking advantage of the
war emergency to modify their dress,
dispense with their veils, and, in some
cases, accept clerical position, but this
is the first intimation of an Associa
tion of Ottoman -Women." .
Mrs. Thomas J. Preston, jr., at one
time Mrs. Grover Cleveland, has is
sued through the National Security
league a message to the women of
America, in which she urges them to
stand firm and united against all
temptations to compromise this war.
The woman hodcarrief has made
her appearance in New York City.

Mrs. W. T. Moore,

The idea is original with the Camp

ganize themselves into six companies

corps and a master surgeon's depart
ment will be included in the new or
ganization. Miss Harriet Duke, of

The "Minute Girl" will wear an
especially designed service uniform

the manual at arms, as well as re
veille and taps.
To stimulate interest in the new
war-time organization many of the
commissioned offices will be put on a

Proper Lamps-Proper
Service
In preceding articles it has been shown How Thomas A'.
Edison invented the first incandescent electric lamp, how he
improved upon it, and how the combined brains of the leading
laboratories of the world finally produced the famous Mazda
of today. '
Tour Electric Service Company has these lamps in its sales
rooms, and would detail its reasons for calling attention to this
fact
Our patrons, possibly laymen in matters electrical, may not
understand how important is the intelligent purchase of lamps
in the securing of the best, most lasting and most economical
light
Mazda lamps are made to accommodate certain voltage re
ceived over the wires from the central plant The wires them
selves furnish a certain voltage. It is extremely desirable that
these two voltage figures coincide, and for these reasons i ;
First If the wire voltage is higher than that for which '
the lamp is designed, this lamp will burn out much
more quickly than otherwise, thus putting the user to , .
considerable inconvenience and some little expense. v
Second If the lamp voltage is higher than that fur
nished by wire from the electric light company, the
candle-power, or volume of illumination furnished
by this lamp, will be less than normal Thus, to
produce a given amount of light, more lamps may
have to be used simultaneously, increasing the
amount of current consumed, at a corresponding in
crease in cost
Your Electric Service Company understands the voltage of
both lamps and wires, and is thus able to furnish the proper
lamps for all conditions within its territory. A complete line of
Mazdas is carried in our sales rooms, and the salesmen under
stand the important voltage equation to perfection.
These are the reasons for our little series of talks on lamp
service. It will pay you to secure your Mazdat-from those who
know!
