One of Omaha's Pretty Society Girls is Mistress of
Red Cross Police Dog Which Was Trained in
Germany for
. ' Time Service
WHEN the clarion of peace has
sounded over the world and
the smoke of battle has
cleared away, then the praises of the
heroes of the great war will be sung.
Many an, obscure man, hitherto un
known, or a valiant nurse, who has
served with no thought of praise, will
find themselves famous for some con
spicuous act of heroism. But not all
the war crosses for valor and the
landing of the multitudes will be
licapejf upon man or woman for many
eumb animals will be listed on the
honor roll. -,
Germany's own weapons are turned
igairist her when her great, shaggy
police dogs bound out across No
Man's Land to fin1 some wounded
ally and hurry back with his cap or
piece of his coat to the rescuers.
These beautiful, intelligent creatures
have for their birthplace that country,
which, in a few bloody years has be
come the enemy ,of the greater part
of the universe." Just a5 rigid as the
military discipline of our fighting men
ts the course, oftraining which these
soldiers of the animal kingdom under
go while being taught their duties.
' For service under l'.rc obedience be
comes the law of their lives and no
iooner is the command given than
tvery four-footed patriot springs to
- sxtion. Omaha boasts of one of the
Red Cross dogs. Miss Elsie Storz is
; his pretty mistress and 'Sport" lives
a happy dog's life in peaceful Nebras
ka with a wide sea between him and
the crashing of, shells and -deadly
clouds of gas.
Soldier on Furlough.
Just eight years ago this beauti
ful animal was brought from. Ger
many and was trained for Luther
Red- Cross, service in Connecticut.
Sport' was purchased for Miss
Storz-several years ago and n?w in
-time of r war, he is qui t-, like a sol
dier on furlough, but'Tie - will "join
tits-regiment," when the call comes.
- This peVwho & privileged to wear
the- Scarlet insignia of the great
brotherhood of service, is proud to be
photographed with his charming
'owner.-" in her Red Cross costume,
: Miss Storz typifies the spirit of
Omaha girls, who .have never faltered
in th$ir patriotic duties.
, This pretty young patriot changes
the white apron and veil for the blue
and white, Costume of the canteen
corps very frequently, for Miss Storz
-is : a conscientious worker in both
branches of Red Cross activities. Her
heart is in the service for the flag with
its, single star in the window of the
Storz home, 'tells its, s.ilent story, of
the brother. Louis Storz, who is now
overseas. Mr, Storz is with the Ne
braska base hospital unit. , . , '
Wounded and Gassed,
When one- sees -these huge dogs
with the ."almost human" look in thei:
eyes, who bravcshell fire and poison
ous bo'mbs to fescue the wounded, the
great rieed of the Red Star is realized.
.What the Red Cross does for our
men the Red Star-does for these noble
animals. They are often wounded or
gassed and theirs suffering is greatly
alleviated by the. service of this or
ganization. -
Many prominent New Yorkwomen
have given their dogs to the cause and
the huge training camp in the east en
rolls numbers of valuable four-footed
$ervitors in the making. Taken from
Oe luxurious surroundings of a beau
tiful home they must forget the vel
vety stretches 4l grass where they
once romped in the sun. More serious
duties await them, and after - weeks
and months of rigorous training they
join their brothers in arms across the
sea.-- ' -

CONSERVATION' NOTES I
Circus day it was supposed nbt
many Cannifig club members would
care to attend classes. Yet in one
club in particular, where about half
the members came to work, they said
they would rather can the products
they brought than to be dismissed
to sec the parade.
Some inquiries have been made re
garding the possibilities of house-
r . t . i i - it
wivcs aiieuamg inc wanning ciud
meetings, thereby learning the cold
pack methods of canning. iThe re
quest cannot be denied.
A revised. bulletin on sugar conser
vation has been issued by the exten
sion,, department, University of Ne
braska. The bulletin contains direc
tions for canning without sugar, for
use of syrups in canning, in jellies
and in jams, and for the substitution
of syrups, honey -and molasses in
cooking. Copies of the bulletin may
be obtained at the food administra
tion office, 219 Union Pacific building.
A demonstration in canning is to
be held at the home of Mrs. Mary
Lynch, 3012 South Thirty-second
avenue, Tuesday morning. Mrs.
Paul Rivett, assisted by Miss Pro
vaznik, will conduct the demonstrat
tion. .
Economy in the French army. has
developed to its fullest extent Scraps
from the soldiers' plates are collected
and soap is manufactured for the use
of the army and navy. The art of
soap-making 'was known in every
household a hundred years ago. It
can again be revived. Directions, for
soap-inaKing'are given wun various
brands of lye on the market.
In canning corn it is advisable not
to fill the jars too full, "since corn ex
pands and the cover is likely to be
it f .1 . w .
pusnea on in tne processing. Jt is
safe to allow one inch of space from
the top ot the jar to the packed corn
