This is the little request tacked onto the invitations Omaha people have been receiving from Lincoln friends who are -offering the hospitality of their homes during the state fair sea son. Two pounds of sugar per person per month is such a tiny little bit to supply the sweet teeth of the majority of people. It not only means no fudge, but very little cake and pie, and the children simply must not heap the precious stuff high on their oat meal; no more "bread and butter and sugar," but bread and corn syrup in stead; and even with all these revi sions in our daily schedule, there is scarcely enough to sweeten our tea and coffee and to' make palatable the fruit our health demands. , - We cheerfully bear these little pri vations, feeling glad that we can 'thereby release sugar in plenty for the boys who are fighting to make, our homes secure. But when company corneal Then there is such t flurrying and scurrying to scrap the bottom of the little jar that takes the place of the generous old fashioned sugar bucket in a vain endeavor to find a little sugar to sweeten her stay. But all in Vain. And this is the reason that Lincoln hostesses are glad to have their friends come from Omaha for the state fair, but they must, insist that each guest bring the modicum of sugar the government permits. So be sure to take a little sack of sugar with you if you would be a welcome guest! So vital is the necessity for carry ing sugar, that the food department has been asked to publish a request that all fair guests come "sweetened." Judging by London newspapers, the custom for guests to carry their sugar supply is of standing since early in the war period. Omaha W. C. T. U. Elects.

Vogues of the Moment in Omaha Shops Necessity has joined hands with fashion and has decreed the popularity of silk. You may smile when I tell you that even the genus homo is to be arrayed in this . fabric, once deemed only appropriate for the gentler sex. Yes, the wartime spirit of "doing things," is making a tre mendous difference in men's as well as women's apparel. Jt was my privilege this week to meet the famous creator of smart chapeau, Ora Cne, who is in Omaha for a few days. Mr. Cne was dressed in an entire suit of silk. Even that bifurcated garment commonly known as "pants," the shirt, the collar, the tie, all were ofsilkl Perfectly har monious, too, for they had been one and all cut from the same bolt of ma terial; Escorto silk, of such a modest shade and so masculine looking withal that no one would ever dream of call ing a man "Sissy," who appeared up on our streets thus attired. - "I will illustrate the advantage of having each piece of the costume match," said Mr. Cne, "Supposing one should enter a restaurant on an in tensely warm 1 Evening, such as you have been having in Omaha lately, and would have the desire to remove his coat," Here Mr. Cfle removed his, to show me how very well-dressed a man may look with the removal of t the top-most garment, when the shirt and trousers match in color and material. He calls this his "New C6n servation Suit for Men," and he has in his wardrobe several other, suits of silk and wool-fibre fabrics. One very swagger" summer suit is made of heavy Shantung in natural color, and with this he even . has a cap to match. When Coolness Registers Charm By GERTRUDE BERESFORD. AFTER all a girl who looks cool goes a long way toward being charming. We feel so grateful for the sight of crisp grooming, that women as well as men. surrender to the charm of her refreshing appearance. Organdie in a delicious shade of pink claims immediate attention in this frock, which depends for individuality on checkerboard tucks, allied with dainty ruffles of "Val." lace on cuffs, collar and vestee. A deeper pink rib bon girdle, ending in a butterfly bow, without wings, makes an effective note of color. .The tucked insertions in the straight gathered skirt are let in with larger tucks running round the skirt A picturesque hat, whose brim of organdie flares from a crown of straw, is altogether lovely. A black velvet ribbon and a bunch of shaded pink rosebuds complete a costume which is bound to "register charm" on a youthful wearer. i 1 " 1 Wedding in Texas. Omaha friends today received cards from Mr. and Mrs. Zedock Hudson Clark, formerly of Omaha, announcing the . marriage of their daughter, Harriet Josephine, to Lt. .Thomas Boroughs Richardson of the 24th infantry.

The production of Red Cross sun plies by Lincoln and Omaha women js greater than the production of any oincr ciucs ui cquai size in me cen tral Division, according to a state ment issued by Frank W. Judson, state director. "During the past few weeks the state of fice has been advised by several prominent Red Cross workers In this state that they did not feel the women In their community war doing the amount of work that should ba done at this Ume In connection with Red Cross. "We do not wish to criticise such expres sions, which In most cases are praiseworthy and Indicate patrlotlo motives. A full knowledge of the present situation as re gards Red Cross work, however, should ba known. The production ot the Red Cross Is regulated by the War Induetriea Board at Washington as to the raw materials which the Red Croes shall have. There Is a short age of raw materials, on account or which the quotas that have been Issued dur ing the past few months are very small and In most cases much less than the amount that the various organizations to which they are issued are capable of pro ducing. In view of this fact the patriotic women of this state should not be criticised for their apparent lack of activity, when they have not been called upon for emer gency work. We hope shortly that ar rangements will be mads whereby a greater amount of material - can be secured and women In this state will be placed In a po sition to produce the maximum of their capacity.

THE OCEAN looked very large and very threatening to Peggy, iewing it from the seaplane. "If we should tumble into those big waves we'd never be able to swim ashore," she cried to General Thrift. "Don't be afraid. I could fly to shore with you," shrilled General Swallow. The sea was very lonesome, just water, water, water. But after a while they sailed over a 'fishing boat, the crew Of which waved a greeting. A little farther out they met a big liner plowing swiftly toward harbor. On its deck was a gun, with a crew of Jackies watching alertly for subma rines. Besides the liner raced along a saucy, dashing sub-chaser. As if in greeting to the seaplane. a sailor of the liner's crew wigwagged with a pair of flags. Peggy saw that he was sending a message, for Ensign Ward wrote it down and held it up for Lieutenant Young to read. It said: "There's a submarine in the path of the transports. Look out for it." Heeding the warning the seaplane One of World's Greatest Business Women Once Arrested as Fire Bug Is woman capable of directing "big business?" Well, by way of answer, England has a woman, and a young woman at that, who is the active manager of a concern employing up wards of J0,000 men and a director in some thirty or more other huge enterprises, industrial and financial. This remarkable wo ian, whose right to the title of the world's great est business woman is not to be dis puted, is Lady Mackworth, the only child of Baron Rhondda, the "Welsh coal king" and British food control ler, who has just passed away. Dur ing the lifetime of her father Lady Mackworth was his business partner. With his death she has come into complete Control of the great corpo rations of which he was the head. That she will be able to "hold down the job," none doubts who knows her. Arrested. Lady Mackworth first came into prominence as a business woman dur ing tha early part of the war. At that time her father was sent to the United States and Canada to buy munitions of war for Great Britain. Previous to that time Lady Mackworth had been known to the public chiefly as a rabid suffragist, advocating the break ing of windows and getting herself arrested for setting fire to a public letter box, preferring to go to prison rather than pay a fine. With her entry into the business would Lady Mackworth found a new vent for her activities. Although still a firm believer in the rights of women to the ballot she no longer took active part in the "militant campaign." When her father embarked for America she took charge of his great financial in terests. At Cambrian Buildings in Cardiff, the offices of the Cambrian Coal Combine, which practically .con trols the whole Welsh coal field, the daughter occupied her father's office, received a,nd answered all lst.ers ad dressed to him and helped to make momentous decisions in relation to the miners which at that time were seriously affecting Great Britain's war plans. , All of the demands of the striking Welsh miners came to Lady Mack worth for consideration, and Mr, Lloyd George, in attempting con ciliation, could have accomplished little wijhout Lady Mackworth's co operation. Success Came. The success with which she dis posed of the big problems that came before her during those few moment pus months showed Lady Mackworth as Britain's rfiost capable business woman. After her father's return to England she was given even greater business responsibilities. In the course of a short time she found herself a director of no fewer than twenty seven big corporations having to do with the mining, industrial, transpor tation and financial interests of the the recipes on the package. Inc. Minneapolis, Minn. MIGHTY WHIZ ARMY A complete, beginning sped toward the open ocean. Peggy wondered how far out it would dare to go. Suddenly the seaplane took a sharp dive downward. Lieptenant Young gave a signal to Ensign Ward, who quickly put his hand to the trigger of his bombing apparatus. Peggy, all excitement, looked over the edge of the machine. She saw what had caught Lieutenant Young's eye. It was a long, dark shape in the water. "A submarine," thought Peggy. Right over the black shape darted the airplane, and Ensign Ward wait ed tensely to release his bomb. Just as his fiingers tightened on the trig ger, the dark shape rose to the sur face. Instead of a periscope appear ing, however, a stream of water shot high in the air. Peggy was puzzled for a moment. Then quickly she understood, The dark shape wasn't a submarine at all. Itjwas a whale, and the whale had spouted the water into the air when it came up to breathe. Away off on the horizon was a smudge of black smoke. The sea plane raced toward :t, and soon Peggy could make . out steamers a whole fleet of them. Ensign Ward turned around and Pfsrgy saw his hps frame the word "Transports!" Peggy was all keyed tip now. Our soldiers on the way to France! And she was going to see them. Scarcely kingdom. The government recog ized her administrative abilities by ap pointing her chjef controller of Women's National Service Ministry, the chief clearing-house for women's wartime work. With her father Lady Mackworth embarked from the United States on the last voyage of the ill-fated Lusi tania, having a thrilling experience in the rescue. Her rescuer was a Mr. Thomas Dooley of Liverpool, whom Loril Rl.ondda rewarded with a mag nificent gold watch, on which was in scribed "Remember the Lusitania." There promises to be a surfeit of women taxicab drivers in Uniontown, Pa., since Mrs. Wesley Wood, the pioneer in that line, made $46 in fares and tips during her first day's work.

That thought wasn't very pleasant. ;. Chancing to look behind at the string of ships, Peggy saw a ripple break the surface of the water a short distance away. Up through the ripple came a 'queer round post. "A periscope!" though Peggy. "A German submarine is waiting right in the track of the transports!" There was not a moment to lose. The officers, looking ahead into the glitter of the sea, hadn't seen the danger. She reached over and pinch ed Lieutenant Young on the arm. His leather coat was so thick and she was so small it was hard to make the pinch felt. But she was desperate and she squeezed with all her strenstth. Lieutenant Young felt her and turned his head. His trained eye caught the ripple in the water and in another in stant the seaplane tipped sharply as the officer brought it swiftly around. (Continued Tomorrow.)
