There is no doubt that pictures make us realize facts much more clearly than mere words ever can. I learned this fact afresh last week when I saw a very interesting exhibit of posters prepared by a class in diet etics. Each of these posters brought home an important idea of dietaries or food conservation. All of the post ers were very simply made and illus trated with pictures cut from the cur- Outing Trip.

(Answer to previous puzzle OXALS) Thrift Need Not Impose Ugly Modes In Woman's Dress Says Dr Peixotto Women'f dress is becoming more and more discussed in connection with thrift and economy. The grownig popularity of uniforms and the ques tion of the practicability of standard ized dress for women in business bring forward the question whether clothing in wartime should be cheer ful or austere. "Woman's dress may be the expres sion of an instinct for display and va riety, but man in his attire is the slave of a standardized past," said Dr. Jessica Peixotto, executive chairman of the Department of Child Welfare .of the Woman's Committee, Council of National Defense. "Certainly wo men's dress should be cheerful. I see no reason why thrift should sound the doom of the decorative. It has been said that in the midst of the most se vere torments woman should keep her smile and that her garments and her ornaments are part of her smile. 'It is necessary to laugh in order not to cry,' and clothing can greatly aid in giving the feeling of cheer. It need not. however, express flippancy. "Butterfly clothing is very different from fresh, simple, useful dress such as sports clothing represents. Austere garments do not necessarily clothe courage; witness the gay military uni forms of the past. It is perfectly pos sible to be thrifty and cheerful, to wear clothing of simple lines and in expensive material, so as to liberate labor now engaged in creating empty superfluities, and thus to add to the general efficiency of the woman power of the countrv." Girls Making Refugee Garments. Somewhere in Belgium and France are women and children who will be made happy this winter by clothing from Nebraska school girls. A Junior Red Cross sewing project has been organized by the extension service of 'he University of Nebraska College of Agriculture, co-operating with the Nebraska Junior Red Cross, and refu gee garments are being made for the unfortunate people of the war zones.

Mrs. Charles Wilson, who has been the guest of Mrs. Frank Simpson for the past week, left this morning for Cedar Rapids, la. the Senior Red Cross. The official Red Cross patterns for refugee gar ments are used, the directions being simplified to help the girls. The work has educational value, in that girls may learn how to sew and at the same time be of grateful assist ance to their stricken sisters across the sea. Any chairman of an auxil iary who is interested in receiving the simplified pattern directions should write the Extension Service, Junior Section, University Farm, Lincoln, Neb.

Charlie turned and yelled. "What's the big idea, cranking in the middle of rehearsal?" "You said camera," Mr. Chaplin. "I never said a word, "he replied. "Now we'll start." Right in the midst of an important piece, the word "Cut" rang out. They stopped instantly. " ,,ajg Charlie, "you spoiled the scene." Syd came to the rescue; he had been watching the parrot and naw Polly, with ruffled feathers and injured air, is banished to the garage. Clara Kimball Young's new picture, "The Savage Woman," has been com pleted and as soon as it is assembled will be released. James K. Hackett, whose stage career was interrupted two years ago by serious illness, has taken up his profession again and will be seen in "Ashes of Love" a Graphic Arts pro duction. George Walsh, the athletic young star of the William bo company, started his professional car:er on the base ball diamond, playing at second base with Brooklyn. Mike Donlin, who recently joined Walsh's company, has never forgiven George for the day on which he made a one-handed spear and grabbed a hot liner off Donlin's bat, saving the day for his team and defeating the Giants. Marion Davies is working on her second picture being made by l.er own company. It is "The Burden of Proof," an adaptation of a well known play. Lillian Gish, who has been starring in Griffith's new war production "The Great Love," tells this in August Pho toplay of an air raid in England: "Another thing, that I wish I could forget, was my visit to the homes of a lot of poor mothers after a school had been bombed by a German squadron at midday, flying at the great height of 18,(100 feet. I saw one woman whose little brood of three had all been torn to pieces by German nitro glycerin. She wasn't crying. She wasn't saying anything. I.'.nt if there is a hell i saw it in the depths 01 her dry, sunken eyes. If I could repro duce that look on the screen lhey would call me greater than Bernhardt. And if I did I should go insane." Bert Lytell will appear in two new plays as soon as "Boston Blackie.'s Little Pal" on which he is working now is completed. FVank R. Adams' story "Unexpected Places" in the April Blue Book is the first and "Faith" by Richard Washburn Child in Every Week of last December have been chosen for him.

"No, I'm only showing you I'm not a dream," giggled Peggy. "It was she who told me that the spy was not speaking the truth about father and his crops," explained Ben. t ail t you stop him trom getting away " asked Peggy, turnins back to the main subject. ''He has hidden himself in the swamp by this time," replied Bill, rue fully rubbing his pinched arm. "What a chump I was to let my temper get away from me. Instead of throwing him into the river we should have turned him over to the authorities at the camp to be tried as a spy." "Maybe we can do something yet," cried Ben. "Let's hustle to camp and tell the captain." "Wish we could run this auto," laid Bill. "We haven't any time to waste." "I'll run it for you," -dunteered Peggy, who had been given lessons by her father. She climbed into the ma chine and started the engine. "Hurry up," she cried to Ben and Bill, who looked on in astonishment as the auto apparently jumped into life of its own accord. After a moment's hesitation they piled into the rear seat. Peggy was just a little doubtful about running the car all by herself, as her father had always been with her when she was receiving her les sons. Nevertheless, she very carefully did just as she had been told to do, pushing out the clutch, adjusting the gears and then letting in the clutch. The car started away with a little jerk and soon was running smoothly. "Say, this is queer," exclaimed Dill, "riding in a car that seems to be steer- j ing itself!" "I'm thinking that we hadn't better tell any one about the invisible fairy," remarked Ben. "We know she is here, but if we tell the folks at camp about her they will think we have gone crazy." Teggy didn't like to be overlooked this way, but she felt that the sugges tion was wise. It certainly would be a lot of trouble to explain to all the soldiers at camp about how she was hidden by Camouflage Perfume. And besides, if they knew she was there they might not let her in at all. Sentries guarded the entrance to the camp. Peggy ran the car up to them and skillfully brought it to a stop. The sentries gaped in wonderment at the seemingly empty driver's seat. "Where's your driver," demanded the corporal in charge of the guard. "Oh, we lost him back here a way," truthfully answered Ben. "He went for a swim." "Who's driving your car then?" asked the corporal, while the other sentries drew closer. "It's a very well-trained car," joked Bill. "You just say 'Geddap' and it goes. You say 'Whoa' and it stops." "Quit your kidding," said the cor poral slangily. "Where are your passes?" "Here," promptly responded both Ben and Bill, showing the necessary papers. "All right." answered the corporal. "Now say 'Geddap' and get out of here." "Geddap!" shouted Bill, and the car QUnUT? FIRST a NOT HOW SOON? BUT INDIVIDUAL PROMPT EXPERT Attention! DELIVERY Photo supplies exclusively 1hc ROEEt.

"Hadn't you better say 'Whoa?" laughed Peggy. "Whoa!" said Ben and Bill together, and the auto obediently stopped, mm li to the surprise of soldiers who were working across the street. "We'll tell the captain about the spv and be back In a minute." said Ben. Peggy was tremendously delighted with the stirring activity of the camp and with the eager alertness with which the soldiers were going through their training stunts. "They'll show Kaiser Bill's army a thing or two," she thought to herself. "What confounded idiot left that auto there?" shouted a gruff voire. Peggy looked back. A big gray auto mobile had drawn up behind her with a soldier at the wheel. In the rear seat was an imposing-looking officer, who seemed much vexed because the entrance to the building was blocked. "I'll have the driver thrown out of camp for not obeying the rules," thun dered the officer. "Gracious, I didn't know I was in the way," cried Peggy. The officer and his chauffeur looked surprised at hearing her voice. Then their surprise turned to amazement, as the machine apparently started itself and moved along. "Here, stop that auto!" shouted (he officer. "It's running away." The soldiers across the road sprang to ward it. Peggy, scared and afraid that something dreadful would happen to her, put on all power and scurried down the road.

Peggy sped around a corner, and there was a whole regiment marching back from a hike. The regiment saw the auto ; coining, apparently running wild, and j the men scattered rieht and left. ! scrambling madly for safety. As she roared past them she heard officers cry, "Stop it!

General Maitrot, wrote a Series of articles in the 'Echo de Paris' to warn France; that in case of war, the French meat industry would be unable to supply the French army in the field with fresh meat, owing especially to the lack of modern refrigerating plants and of refrigerating transportation, and too, owing to the deficiency in the national herd." Since the war began, the army has never been short of fresh meat, thanks mainly to the prosperous condi tion of the American meat industry, and too, to the American live stock breeders." that the American packers have been of the greatest possible assistance to the Allies and have, by their efficient co operation, contributed in the utmost degree to the successful prosecution of the war."
