More than 100 women were present from out of town. The Winnebago ' Indian mission was represented by little Miss Nettie Logan, an Indian child. Mrs. A. P. Hopkins, Fremont, and Mrs. Guy A.

S. was sent to the fire men from salvage headquarters Mon day. The men didn't find any blaze, but' the call was not a false alarm by any means. If there were no an gry flames to fight, there was real work to be done. The salvage work ers had suddenly acquired such a tremendous amount of old papers and magazines that they had to call for help and they chose the firemen. ' Every day this week the blue uni- - formed members of the Omaha fire department have spent time sack ing, weighing and helping sell the papers. Between $75 and $100 ' is realized every week from this work alotie. Magazines bring three times as much as papers. A large back room is now in use at headquarters, 1409 Harney. It is often piled nearly - as high as the ceiling with old papers and rags. Pass On Good Work. The Bee's report of the war work done by the kindergarten children of Saratoga school has interested an out-of-town woman and she writes for information about the black cats made from old 'silk hose. These toys '''have been made by schoolchildren for Belgian orphans. Mrs. B. O. Krotter of Talisade, Neb., has written asking for a pattern for the cats, as she is anxious to interest the school chil dren in her town in the making of these toys for French and Belgian :hildren.

Sheriff Clark has just made a big donation of valuables which he has collected! in various raids, and which will be disposed of at the auction. The gift also includes a number of slot machines.

College Women for Service Abroad The committee on woman's war work abroad of the Intercollegiate Community Service association has decided to form in its own member ship the nucleus of an intercollegiate unit committee, to which will be added one woman from each college or alumnae association which is pre pared to furnish and finance one or more members of a unit. Mount Holyoke college has voted to raise $4,000 to- send a member this sum having been generally agreed upon as necessary to cover the expenses of one worker in addition to the amount of relief she must do to justify her presence in France. "Letters have reached us from col lege women all over the United States, most of them indicating an earnest and serious de,sire to help in the work abroad," is the statement of the committee. "Being fully con vinced of the pressing need of work ers, we feel that the appeal of these women cannot be disregarded. They ire eager and ready to go, and appear willing to accept the same status and regulations as those of the Smith col lege relief unit, the only college unit actually operating in the foreign field t present. "The term 'unit' must be understood to indicate a single basis of organiza tion in this country, and an agency for financial resources, not a geo graphicl limition of the work abroad. The members must be prepared to work as a body, or in small groups, or as an individual wherever sent, while still retaining their identity as mem bers of the unit." A call has come to the committee from the women's overseas canteen service department of the Young Men's Christian association for a unit of college women to do association canteen work in France. The corn- America was the first country in the world to give formal of ficial recognition to women in the construction of its war ma chine, and to recognize imme diately, upon declaration of war, its woman power as one of its most valuable assets. This recognition on the part of the government was expressed in the prompt creation of the woman's committee of the Council of National Defense. Ida Clyde Clark. mittee will select the personnel of this unit and collect funds. Candi dates for this group must be between 28 and 40 years of age, of excellent health and character; they must enlist for one yearj must pay their own ex penses or be financed to the amount of $2,000 a year, and must subscribe to all governmental and association rulings. "We are especially desirous that graduates of the western, southern and middle western colleges enter this work," the committee states. "We want all college women everywhere to have a share in this splendid oppor tunity. Smith college has already former a canteen unit; Barnard and Bryn Mawr are doing so, and Mount Holyoke has ready a most desirable candidate as a member, possibly as di rector, of an intercollegiate canteen unit." Communications will be received by the intercollegiate committee on woman's war work abroad, 106 East Fifty-second street, New York. All women who have been grad uated from standard colleges in the last A I years are eligible to take the course at the training camp for nurses to be held at Vassar college this sum mer under the auspices of the Ameri can Red Cross and the Council of National Defense.

A. R. HEN pink georg ette crepe de cides to make a lovely frock it is well nigh impossible to cheat it of this right. Given half a chance, this color and fabric will become the sweet est frock in the world. A long "darn" stitch of heavy pink floss works up quickly into a back ground for daisies out-1 lined in white beads on this charming model. Contrary to nature, the centers are old blue. This shade repeats it self in the girdle old blue with quite a dash of green in the dye, which brings it almost to turquoise. The roll collar and long rever are of pink charmeuse satin. The hem and tucks are hemstitched, and the floss and bead embroidery is repeated on the "camouflage" apron. Pink grosgrain ribbon on the hat crown recalls the bas ket weaving of kinder g a r t e n days. The broad brim may be of georgette crepe or pink straw. This frock, de veloped in yellow and worn with a yellow leghorn, with crown of old blue ribbon, would be lovely. In either color this dress is just the thing for "brides maiding" or for wear on summer evenings. Prepare to Can In this month of May, just before the canning period, take account of stock, not only of your equipment, the canner, et cetra, but of your jars, your rubbers and the closet in which the finished product is to be stored. Have the closet as dry and cold as possible. Fruits or vegetables that are to be canned must be fresh and not over one day old if possible. Peas and corn lose their flavor so rapidly that they ought to be canned within four hours of the time of cooking. Do not waste any time on decayed fruit or vegetables. The former can be put up safely with sugar, as jam, by dis carding the poor portions, but should never be used for canning. Go over the jars and rubbers. Do not use rubbers which are sold with jars, unless a known and tested brand ij provided. Even so, it is bet ter to purchase new rubbers, being rery sure that the rubber of which they are made will stretch slightly without break or crack. An excellent test that Good Housekeeping has evolved consists in pressing the rub ber between the thumbs and fore finger of each hand with a slight pull. If this pressure develops a soft, spongv feeling in the rubber, discard it. If it feels slightly granular and firm to the touch, it will prove good. Then, too, the jar must be carefully examined to make sure that there are no invisible nicks or cracks and that the clamp oil the cover fits securely and tightly.

JULIUS ORKIN, 1508-1510 Douglas St. Growth-Expansion-Prosperity The remarkable growth of Home. Builders (Inc.) In recent years is due to the fact that it meets a public want and is rendering a valuable service to owners' and in vestors. Money received from investors in its 6 shares is ad vanced only to owners for whom the company constructs buildings, and all such advances are secured by mort gages placed upon new properties. Its building opera tions have assumed large proportions. Home Builders' income is derived from builders' profits and interest upon money advanced. The Company is prosperous. Last year its assets were increased by nearly $350,000. The total assets exceed $1,000,000. The money of investors is kept busy earning dividends for its owners, who hold hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Home Builders' 6 Guaranteed Shares. The semi-annual dividends are paid regularly, January 1 and July 1. These shares have proved to be a most attractive in vestment based upon mortgage security of certain value. The Company does not speculate and has no bonded in debtedness. Mail orders solicited. Home MderS INCORPORATCO American Security Co., Fiscal Agent, Omaha, Nebraska. j Bee Want AdsAre BusnessBoosters.
