City Employes to Be
Paid Twice a Month,
To Encourage Thrift
City Commissioner Ure, who is
superintendent of the department of

a man who is paid twice a month

who is paid once a month and has
charge accounts for necessities.
"When a man pays cash for what
he buys he is more thoughtful and
economical, but when he runs charge
accounts and his wife can buy on
those accounts, well, I know," Mr.
Ure told the city council.
City employes who are now on
monthly salary basis will be paid
twice a month hereafter.

HOSPITAL HEAD
WANTS WAR AID
FOR DISCIPLINE
Army Appropriation Will End
Legar Squabbles in Deten
tion Home, Dr. Palmer
Findley Tells Court.
Hope that an amendment to the
army apprapriation bill passed by
congress on July 6 and providing
$2,400,000 for the detention and cure
of fallen women will iron out the
legal difficulties surrounding the de
tention of diseased women in the city
detention home, Twenty-second street
and St. Mary's avenue, is being enter
tained by Omaha physicians and so
cial workers interested in the work.
Dr. Palmer Findley, medical direc
tor of the city detention home, under
authority of the city department of
health, said Monday, after he had
testified in habeaas corpus proceed
ings brought by John M. McFarland,
attorney, for the release of Mrs. Car
men Lynne, inmate in the home, "A3
soon as this appropriation is made
available we shall be on a war basis
and shall avoid all these legal squab
bles.
Judge W. A. Redick took under ad
visement the case of Mrs. Carmen
Lynne.
No Clinical Work.
Mrs. Lynne testified that she had
been arrested as a vagrant at Six
teenth and Cass streets one evening
last week as she was on her way to
a restaurant. She rooms at the Park
hotel, she testified, and her husband
is now in an army training camp at
Allentown, Pa.
Reports that patients at the de
tention home were subjected to ex
amination before groups of medical
students were flatly contradicted by
Dr. Findley, who also said that only
he, himself, two other physicians and
two medical students were present
at the examination of the Lynne
woman.
"Our function is not to cure these
women absolutely," testified Dr. Find
ley, for in many cases that would take
a lifetime. Our function is to render
them incapable of transmitting any
social disease."
Works Without Pay.
Dr. Findley said that his services
in directing the detention home were
eiven without nay as part of his
contribution to war work and that
he was navine the salary of Miss
Alta Berger, head nurse at the home,
until the institution was put on a
definite basis and other appropriations
were made available.
Obiections of some of the inmates
that they were forced to do house
work without their consent and so
were put under involuntary servitude,
were answered by Dr. Findley s state
ment that it was absolutely necessary
to give the women something to do
to occupy their time. "Personally I
have never seen a hospital kept clean
er nor better managed from a medical
standooint than this home." he sa;d.
The army bill appropriation pro
vides $1,000,000 for detention pur
ooses. $1,000,000 for state boards of
health, $100,000 for medical school
researches and $300,000 for researches
by scientific bodies. It was made
necessary by the great amount ot
disease of a social character found
among men entering the National
army. ,

COUNTESS FROM

The beautiful Countess Madeleine
de Bryas spoke at the Chamber of
Commerce Monday noon before a
large audience that cheered her elo
quence as she spoke of her native
land.
The countess is .a blonde with
golden hair, fine coloring and perfect
features. Her blue gown has the
mark of the Parisian maker. She was
elegantly gowned in true Parisian
good taste and elegance.
She . was born in Paris and her
home is in the house where she was

born on the Champs Elysees. Her
father is Count de Bryas and her
mother was Miss Clymer of Philadel
phia. The countess is the organizer and
head of the largest work in France
for taking care of people from the
invaded regions. It is called "Le
Bon Gite," or "The Good Home."
Two years ago she began lecturing in
southern France and in Spain to
gather funds for this work. When
she was asked to come to this coun
try in the interest of Miss Anne Mor
gan's American committee for de
vastated France she left her own
work in the hands of Miss Morgan's
committee.
Lived Near Lines.
For months the countess has lived
in a little hut near the front lines,
where Miss Morgan and other work

was so cold they could not sleep.

that is characteristic of the French
makes it almost impossible to get the
people away from their homes until
they are actually being invaded by
the enemy," said the countess. "Therf
when the flight can no longer be
delayed there is such confusion that
many children are iost. They are too
small to know where they live. They
grow and change and in many cases
can never be reunited to their famil
ies. In this last drive 1,000 children
were brought to us by mothers who
left them in our care. The govern
ment has given us a farm whVre we
keen them in comfort.
"There has been no real reconstruc
tion work yet. It would not be wise
because in case of another invasion
reconstructed houses would merely
fall again to the destructive impulses
of the Germans. French soldiers, in
their seven days' rest from the trench
es, are employed in patching up homes
and the families come back as quick
as possible and in spite of bursting
shells to the homes that they love
even in desolation. The government
also provides wooden sheds which
will be useful after the war as cattle
sheds and. in case of a second inva
sion, their destruction is not a great
loss.
American Girls Work.
"In the last' drive the American
girls did wonderful things in evacu
ating the populations. They can drive
motors while our own girls can not
do that. Of course, there are no priv
ate motors in France now because
all are commandeered for the military
and besides we cannot get gasoline
for private use.
"France today is one vast refuge for
French, Belgian. Serbian, Monteneg
