T 'Americam MtEra
wfien Rudyard Kipling, in one. of h,is stories about Hans Breit- 1
mann, made the assertion that the caged ape had "too much Ego in its 4
Cosmos, he voiced a truth that could apply to us, as a race.
Too prone to place too much importance in ourselves, and to
imagine that we individually are the center of the universe, around
which the rest of the family, humble satellites, revolve to obey and
revere us, have we not, as the ape, "tocomuch Ego in our Cosmos?"
Years ago, a man of God first arrested my attention to this phase
of human nature, in a sermon on the text "He saved others, Himself
He could not save."
I pondered on this. "Why," I asked myself, "should any one who
had the power to save others, not be able to save himself?" Divinity,

poem, my own thoughts. There was too much Ego in my Cosmos.
But we do live and learn, if we keep our' spiritual natures, attuned
to God's laws.
In "following my gleam," though at times it has seemed faint as
T the fire-fly's glow. I have "held fast
follower in my Master's footsteps,
If we will but sink self m God's will, only good can happen. This
is a wonderful age, and we are living amid glorious opportunities.
We are in the midst of stirring events, so stirring that we cannot
afford to pass them by. ,
My only son, my man child given me of the "Lord," has just
voluntered, with my full consent, in the navy. I know all about the

J .'Europe is appalling, a world calamity, indeed, but I also know "The
. Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than
the mighty waves of the sea.
And in giving my only son to his country, I realize as never before
the force of that man of God's sermon from the text, "He saved others,
Himself He could not save." ,
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have ever
lasting life."
We must sink our own esotism in thouehts of world service. If
X we would not perish spiritually. We

mothers and grandmothers before
most, to our country. I know the cry, "I can't! I can't! I can't 1" I have 2
felt like wailing myself, but, O mothers of America, you can, you
can, and you must give even if you give as of old Mary gave, her 1
earthly all For we, poor, miserable daughters of Eve, with the curse X
still on us, must work out our own salvatton along these lines. j
And when we have gotten over the first shrinking of the spirit, we 1
-will attain to a, glow for world service. We, the mothers of America $
are finding our souls. We, in laboring to help the Red Cross, in
packing dainties for our boys, and other mothers' boys, God bless 1
them all, will attain the peace that follows the giving up of self. Al- 4
ready the gospel of work is appealing more and more to us. Well said
Carlyle, "An endless significance lies in work, in idleness alone is
there perpetual despair."
Search the Scriptures, mothers of America, search diligently and T
you will attain "the peace that passeth understanding." 3.
Christ states, S. John, Chap, x, 17th verse, "Therefore doth My Father y
love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again." T
Our sons, with the example of .Washington, Lincoln and Roosevelt X
a trio of noblest American names, betore them, myst be encouraged to
travel in His steps.
In conclusion mothers of America, let us give, all of us. Theodore
Roosevelt's famous advice to young men. "Hit the line hard!" and they
will go forward to victory. v

Mrs. Edwin Arnold, formerly Miss
Dora Diers of Fremont, who is mak
ing a coast to coast motor tour in
the interest of Americanization, is in
Omaha today with Mr. Arnold and
Miss Dorothy, their daughter. . "
The family are en route to Pase

Mrs. Arnold is the special representa
tive of the national committee of 100
to make an "Amernca First" iour.,
"In the two weeks which I have
just spent in Nebraska," says the
patriotic tourist, "I have seen that the
people formerly accused of pro-Germanism
have undergone a complete
change of heart. Every one is proud
of this state. Easterners have stopped
talking about the indifference of the
middle west." ,
Mrs. Arnold spoke on Thursday
afternoon both at the Chamber of
Commerce and before a meeting of the
Americanization committee of the
Douglas County Council of Defense.
"American industry has sent agents
to foreign lands to' bring laborers to
this country with promises of liberty
and equality. It is up to us to see
that these people have their rights.
They are no longer foreigners or im
migrants. They are "new Ameri
c&ns. The "America First" tourist leave
Saturday for Fremont, from where
they will continue their trip to the
west.

Miss Sward is the daughter of the

later made commandant of the Order

"TVEAR Women Folks: Now is the
U time to buyl Bargains to the
right of ust Bargains to the left of
us I Yes, the July clearance sales are
here and -everybody is on the c-uivive
because of the alluring bargains of
fered. It is the big opportunity of
the year to secure new clothes .and
home furnishings at much less than
usual prices.
But I'm sure you've all been watch
ing the windows and the big adver
tisements in the daily papers and are
well aware of all this, for where is
the woman who is not susceptible to
the Golden Shopping advantages of
the July Sales? I'd have to take
pages and pages to tell you all the
bargain news of the week, but as I'm
only allowed a few columns, will try
and give you some pointers which I
hope will be helpful.
The price ticket on some lovely
summer merchandise I saw this
week whilst touring the shops should
prove magnetic enough to attract
throngs of women who are trying to
be patriotically economical.
Now is surely the time to buy!
"Your Uncle Sam needs money," '
This is the daily cry.
By saving now at July Sales
More "Savings Stamps" you'll buy.
.
FOR real summer attractiveness
there is nothing can quite equal
a sports skirt of silk or satin. I
noted by the tickets on several stun
ning skirts in F. W. Thome's win
dows at 1812 Farnam that the price
reducer's pencil had been busy. For
instance, a handsome Baronette
skirt of broad black and white ver
tical stripes, which had been $30, was
re-marked $1975. A" model which
has won admiration because of its
unique stylefulness has stripes of
black satin and white taffeta, which
to vary the monotony of life have
chosen to run horizontally and be of
graduated widths this has been re
duced from $25 to $16.50. A skirt
of natural pongee, with a futurist
border of hollyhocks really very,
very lovely, which was $30, is now
only $19.75.
REALLY for comfort and coolness
there is nothing like a dark col
ored voile frock; it is alwaysn per
fect taste and can be worn yith ease
and assurance anywhere. Thompson,
Belden's has an alluring array of
these summery fabrics in fashionable
foulard patterns, most of which have
a background of blue, with white,
cerise, green or other colors in dots
and figures. This is priced 50c, 75c
and $1 a yard. I'm so fond of ging
ham plaid voiles, too, and there are
some very attractive patterns shown
at this store at 50c a yard. Their dis
play of colored plaid and striped
skirtings is also quite worthy of men
tionmost of these are in gabardine
weave at 75c, 85c and $1 (1 yard wide)
but there are some colored striped
piques which are beautiful indeed
at 75c.
T F I had only space to tell you of
the wonderful hats I saw at The
Nebraska Clothing Company's Milli
nery Shopthis week! but when you
see them for yourselves I know your
enthusiasm will grow by leaps and
bounds, just as mine did. Sparkling
with vivacity is a group of silk sports
hats, which are as chic and "different"
as can be. Many of these are made
cntkely of ribbon, others are ribbon
and straw combined. One particu
larly delightful.-confection has white
taffeta bands alternating with tiny
bands of purple straw, while the un
derbrim is lined with purple. A
jaunty white taffeta tam, a petal-pink
sailor of soft, noncrushable straw
with t double brim, Snd several very
dashing chaoeaux of Kelley green
silk ribbon fairly seemed to say
"choose the most becoming." Some
distinctive new Georgette hats are
shown with transparent brims and
velvet crowns, while felt and straw
is an unusual though charming com
bination.. You'll love the hats at this
shop.
One of the latest fur collars is of
nutria with tassels at its square cor

YOU'RE almost sure to catch it the
moment you enter the Freling &
Steinle Luggage Shop at 1803 Far
nam! What? Why, the desire, the
spirit, to want to venture forth into
the great world of travel. I feel it
every time I see all of that regiment
of bags, trunks and suitcases. The
thing which interests me most, how
ever, is a Hartmann trunk, which
must be of the greatest convenience
imaginable when taking a trip. The
makers of these famous trunks have
taken a great deal of pride in the spe
cial features the plush cushion top
to protect dresses of the daintiest fab
rics, the shoe and hat boxes which
can be easily reached, and large,
roomy drawers which will hold an
entire wardrobe. The Hartmann
spells "perfettion" in trunks.
The bather wjio wishes to add a
touch of chic to an otherwise unin
teresting bathing outfit may have a
cap, sash, scarf and bag all to match
of bright blue rubber, on which are
appliqued large white rubber birds.
Sweater and liat frequently match
in color.

TOLD you a couple of weeks ago
about some very specially priced
Japanese toweling at the Nippon Im
porting Company's shop, 218 South
18th Street. For you who wish to
secure a bolt or two of this attractive
material, which is so suitable for
dainty bedroom draperies, table, or
bureau scarfs, I wish to state that
there are a few bolts left, still selling
at $1 a bolt. There 'are 12 yards of
13-inch material to4he bolt. It comes
in a white ground with navy blue
figures, or a light blue ground with
white designs. Absolutely sun. fast.
A blue serge suit may be accom
panied by a waistcoat of ivory tone;
LAVENDER, that color of cool
and pleasant memories, was seen
in a most enchanting summer frock,
displayed in F. W. Thome's shop
windows, at 1812 Farnam, this week.
A very striking, sleeveless jacquette
of lavender linen, with pipings of
white, decorated with numerous two
tone linen and pearl buttons, and with
a panel back which may be worn
loose or confined under a crossed
sash accompanies the dress of plaid,
lavender voile the plaids being
formed of crossed lines, enclosing
very dashing lavender figures. The
skirt is full and pleated. This is one
of the most stunning dresses I've
seen this summer, and the price is
just $17.75. The same model is in
pink, blue and green.
Let me repeat, pray now prepare .
For early Fall or Winter wear;
These colors Fashion quotes to view,
"Deep amethyst and Pekin -Blue,
Mahogany, dull brown and brick,"
Which promise to become "tres chic."
IF I were inclined to be O. Henry
ish and speak in "Out-West" lan
guage, I'd call that sale which is tak
ing place this week at Herzberg's
Women's Toggery a garment "round
up." Over on one side" are "rounded
up" the best looking skirts crac
kling, new silk skirts, too! One rack
holds some very swagger plaid and
vertical and Bayadere striped skirts,
which formerly sold for $5.95 to $9.85
at the "happy surprise" price of $4.95.
Those attractive foulard skirts with
large coin dots-or dot clusters are
included in this joyful "roundup"'
sale, as well as those sprightly ribbon
skirts of wide satin stripes, which we
have raved about and longed to, own.
Some of these are box-pleateoT oth
ers have gracefully draped tunics and
unique pockets, and these' lovely
skirts which sold at $12.85 to $17.50
actually can be bought now for $9.85.
Wash satin and Baronette skirts in
dainty pastel shades and skirts in
strikingly effective Batik patterns,
which were $19.50 to $29.50, are
ticketed just $14.85.
Hats of rough straws are seen
lined with pretty pastel or sports col
ors. A soft crush banoS matches the
lining, which is sometimes finished
with deep fringe.
THERE'S a Baby Shop on the third
floor - of Thompson-Belden's
Store that anticipates the needs of
His or Her Majestyin a very com
plete way. Just now it is overblos

INIMITABLE charm and fashion
delightfulness is embodied in some

establishment in Chicago) which may.
be seen at F. W. Thome's Up-Far-nam

collarlcss affair and of super quality
white Georgette, is distinguished by
a slashed slip-over of maize Geor
gette, edged with etongatVbeads al
ternating with those of globule shape
of the most exquisite Tiffany color
ings. Another snow-white blouse is
embroidered in bright red strawber
ries, and astonishing as it may seem
the designer has chosen turquoise
blue as an accompanying color for
the collar and cuffs.
The sole trimming of some very
smart dresses is a scarf of contrast

FOUND! on the tables in the Gift
Shop of Orchard & Wilhelm's,
some mighty attractive July bar

A FASHIONABLE woman knows
that her figure is made with her
corset. She may have beautiful, nat
ural lines from the artist's point of
view, but 6he knows that her form
must be modeled by the corset in
order to have the Contour which is
necessary for her fashionable dress.
AS a Corset Specialist Mgi.' D. A.
Hill will be glad to solve the problem
of corset fitting, for the woman who
desires style and who has searched in
vain for a scientific and comfortable
corset. In her little torset shop, 205
Neville Bldg., loth and Harney
streets, she has correct models de
signed to suit various types of fig
ures. Her stock includes sizes from
18 to 47 also a line of well fitting
brassieres.
Sleeves of new suits are generally
long and tight, but there are many

MOTHER may I go out to swim?"
"Yes, my darling daughter,
But be sure and use some Eogiene
Before you go into the water."
With due apologies for changing the
old rhymet this greaseless, vanishing
cream, which is of the finest grade,
is simply ideal for women who go
bathing, boating, golfing or motoring,
as it prevents the skin from blistering
if put on beforehand. Creme Eogiene
is 'one of the many splendid aids to
beauty which are sold at the Franco
American Toilet Requisite Shop, 772
Brandeis Bldg. And whilst on the
subject of bathing, I'm , going to let
you in a wee bit of a secret. If you
wish your complexion to look pretty
when jou are in the water, you should
use Dermatint, a tint composed of
pure vegetable matter, and which
won't come off while bathing. Both
of these preparations are priced 50c
each.
