' Through the combined efforts of
the Red Cross and the National
Service league, Omaha's motor corps
promises to be the best in the land.
It is a merry race to see whether
Captain E. S. Westbrook or Field
Marshal Gould Dietz will recruit the
most , volunteers for their respective
companies, and it will not be long
until some very military looking cars
will be veering around the corners.
And the drivers? .
Methinks her face looks familiar,
you will say, for no doubt you had
luncheon with her the day before at
the club, buther silk afternoon frock
and droopy hat have been changed
for serviceable khaki and a tiny avia
tor's cap rests .lightly on her Marcel
ed hair. For she is a member of
the motor corps, if you please, serv
ing her country with her knowledge
of machines and her willingness to
work early and late aiding those in
need.
With the announcement that Oma
ha Red Cross would have a motor
corps of its own, everyone is eagerly
watching to see who will rally to the
forces of the Red Cross cause uid
who will elect to serve under the
Service league banner.
These motor corps are not local or
ganizations alone, for they have been
recognized by the rmy medical de
partment, and will be under the juris
diction of the surgeon general. The
call for recruits from the Omaha
chapter of the Red Cross is very
natural, as the American Red Cross
motor corps of Washington has been
called upon for co-operation in the
work of the war department emer
gency division, for civflian employes
and other emergency work.

(Colonel Tlhieodloire; Omaha Bids You Welcome
People may disapprove at times of the Colonel's actions and utterances, but no one can question his Courage, Loyalty or Americanism. As long as people
are interested in Who's Who or What's What, they will be glad to read about, listen to and honor THEODORE ROOSEVELT. OUR CITY WILL HONOR IT
SELF IN HONORING THIS GREAT CITIZEN. ' , '
We read much these days on Conservation Essentials Non
essentials Economy and Wise. War Time Expenditure. What is
essential for the comfort and happiness of one, is wholly unneces
sary to the welfare and happiness of the other. Simon Stylites
was pleased to perch himself on top of a pillar and spend his days
and nights there.' Old Diogenes preferred to live in a cask and
wear an old gunnysack for raiment. Neither of them HAD TO
DO THESE THINGS, so it is fair to assume they followed their
inclinations and desires. -
Prodigal Purchasing should be denounced
by every true American. Wise Expenditure
should be just as widely commended.

COBB AND HIS CANDY .
What Mary Elizabeth did for Syracuse, Cobb hat dona for Omaha, and he
has done it In the sweetest way. A lady visitor at our house a night or so ago, .
handed us a letter to read from a boy "Over There." It was a right cheerful
. letter he was equally at home with Tommie and Poilu. He thanked her for
a box of Cobb's; he said Johnny Crapaud may be as good a candymaket as he
is a fighter, and that's going some but he has nothing on Cobb when it comes
to candy. Hurrah! for Omaha, dear old Omaha, and Hurrah I for Cobb!. By
the way, British army officer! report that the canteens at the front have expert-,
enced five -times more demand for candy than was expected. You needn't be
ashamed to aend younbov a box of Cobbs. Many specials for Saturday. Tele-
