Red Cross Workers k - Home First of Month f for Call to Duty ' 'Already there is a hint of fall in the air. The plumed heads of the golden rod nod at ns from (he roadsides and - the purplcasters like "a smoke upon 1 the hills" tell us more poignantly than words of the approach of the season of brilliant foliage and hazy skies. Cooler breezes bring new zest and we shake off the inertia of the summer days and plunge into the duties which claim us. glad to return to the work-a-day world after a breathing space in Vacation land. t Even the spacious rooms at Red , Cross headquarters have been de serted for the past month while the busy women who plied their needles all winter were enjoying a well-earned rest. With, the first of the fall months, the clear bugle call of duty will bring them back, more deter mined than ever to accomplish great things in this work of mercy. A number of the Red Cross officials .have spent the few weeks given them at lakeside and mountain resorts. Mrs. Luther Kountze and daughter. . Gertrude, are at Lake Okoboji, that popular Mecca for all Omahans. Mrs. Walter silver nas Deen enjoying tne bracing air of Colorado for her vaca tion was spent in tstes park. Mrs, F. W.

Many workers have stayed at their posts through the stifling heat. Airs. A. L. Reed has been at her desk every day. Mrs. George Prinz and Mrs. Lu cien Stephens have "stayed on the job," and Mrs. Howard Baldrige said that she would take her vacation when the kaiser took his, so that the ware house has been the summer resort for Mrs. Baldrige. Unique Party for Soldiers. A "backward" party will be given to 35 soldier boys Wednesday evening at the Patriotic club rooms by the W. D. T club. This club is only about a month old, but it is one of the most progressive and enterprising of the patriotic clubs and the guests may feel sure of everything from soup to nuts or rather, from nuts to soup, for all events will be turned "hind side before." There are 32 members of the W. D. T. club, with Miss Theo Adams as leader and Miss Emily Lear as presi dent. Their first social meeting, held last month, was in the form of a so ciable, at which they cleared $45. This money was devoted to purchasing raa ' terial which they are making up into layettes for little war babies. f Seek Occupations in War Time.

Miss Rose water made a most enviable record in the chemistry department at Smith college, where she was graduated this June. Mrs. Ralph M.

Mrs. Rothschild has accepted, a position of stenographer with the Guarantee company. Accepted for Service Abroad.

Nebraska chapter, Colonial Dames of America, has presented the 'Young Women's Christian association, through Mrs. Charles Offutt, state chairman for the war fund campaign, with two beautiful silk flags. They will be mounted on standards and placed in the two rooms being used especially for the headquarters room for war drive workers, and the Pa triotic leagues' third floor club room. The gift is especially acceptable to the association at just this time, when it frequently houses gatherings of foreign women with whom the pledge of allegiance to the flag is an im pressive part of their meetings. jfrXnl' !' 1 Mi 4-H-H-H- J EIGHT OFF THE KEEL f ! !

The Birds to the Rescue. (Lonesomt Bar, afUr gaining fall free dom from Fete. his muter, through tha help of Feggy, Is captured by tramp. Peggy try ing to aid him li herself mad captive.) PEGGY felt very small and weak in the hands of the tramps. So strong was the grip of the two men upon her arms that it was useless to struggle. . Now she knew how Lonesome Bear must; have felt when he was dragged back into dancing slavery. Now she knew how it was with the birds when they were prisoners of the Giant of the Woods. - Lonesome Bear moaned continu ously as he was pulled and prodded along by Tags. "My poor Princess Peggy, I am so sorry I got you into trouble" he wailed. "I'd rather Jive and die in slavery than haveyou the prisoner of these awful men!" ' General .Swallow, swooping back and forth jus above the tree tops, was shrieking a call to Birdland at the top of his voice.. "Arousel Arouse, ye people of Bird land 1" he shrilled. "Peggy, our Prin cess is a captive! To the rescuel To the rescuel" The call echoed and re-echoed through the woods as other birds took it up. "To the rescue! To the rescuel Peggy, our princess is a captive." Birds came flocking from all direc tipns. Like people running to a, fire, they dropped whatever they were do ing when the alarm sounded. "To the rescuel To the rescuel Peggy, our princess is a captive 1" New courage leaped into Peggy's heart as she saw the birds answer to the call. She had friends who would fight for her; friends who would die for her. This was no time tp despair; rather it was a time to use her wits and plan an escape. With so many close at hand willing to risk anything to help her there must be some way out of her trouble. But what could the birds do against the tramps, particularly if the tramps were armed. And they were armed Peggy saw a pistol sticking from the pocket of one of the men whom the others called Hal the Fat. The birds would be easy prey to men with weapons. The tramps thought so, too. Tags looked up at the gathering cloud of birds and grinned. "Potpie for supper I" he shouted to his companions, waving his stick to ward the birds. They laughed and Hal the Fat chanted: Sing a aong of alx pence, pocket full of rye. Four and twenty blackbird baking In a pie. When the pie waa opened, the birds began to sing; Wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the 'VOTPIE FOR SUPPER I" SHOUTED TO HIS COMPANIONS. HE my hands on the old shotgun they'll do no more singing and we'll have pie for a week," chortled the third man, whose name was Laughing Jake. Peggy had a new anxiety now. The birds might do something rash trying to save her and the tramps might kill them. If she could only cry out to warn them. They must not sacrifice themselves for her. The gag in her mouth made it very hard to breathe and soon Peggy was in distress. Laughing Jake noticed this and swung her up to hiseBhoulder. That tnade it a little easier for her, but she found it was not nearly so nice riding on his shoulder as a cap tive as it was to ride in fun. on the shoulder of her father or of the Giant of the Woods. After a while they came to-denser woods, and Peggy lost sight of the Birds, although she could hear their loud calls from the treetops. The tramps forced their way through the thick underbrush and came out upon a small clearing at the edge of the nver. Here was their camp. In the center stood a rude hut or wigwam made of poles and branches of trees. In front of it smoldered a fire.. Near the river bank two more tramps were nailing heavy slats on the side of a dry goods box. "Hello. Raggedy Jim and Bertie the Boozer, have you got the chicken I coop ready?" called out one. of Peg- ; gy s captors. Here s a nice young chicken to lock up in it. Raggedy Jim and Bertie the Boozer looked up in surprise. Then they sprang to their feet. "What's this? Where did you get that girl?" shouted Raggedy Jim,, who was the youngest of all the tramps. "We'll not stand for any kidnaping stunts," mumbled Bertie the Boozer. "Nothing like that. We'll tell you about it later," answered Laughing Jake, swinging Peggy to the ground. At .that moment there came a shrill call from the woods. "Charge to the rescuel To the rescue of Peggy, our Princess!" Instantly the clearing was filled with Birds. They attacked the tramps with wild fury. The tramps fought back, lashing at the feathered war riors with flying aVms. Peggy felt herself picked up and thrust into the coop. A big padlock was snapped upon the door. Then she heard Laughing Jake shout: I'll get my gun! Potpie for supper!" Peggy knew the Birds stood no chance. They couldn't'get her out of the cage and they would be mowed down by the shotgun. She tore the gag from her rrtouth and shouted with all her might: "Fly for your lives, my Birds! They've got a gun! You can't save me this way!1-Fly, fly, fly! Pegy? your Princess, commands you! Fly I" At once the Birds obeyed. As sud denl as they had come they disap peared. Peggy found herself alone with the five tramps alone except for Lonesome Bear, and he was chained fast to a stake at the opposite side of the clearing.

Answer to previous puzzle BALL PLAYER r FLICKS OF FASHION Vogues of the Moment in Omaha Shops T Of a surety life holds a few joys when these "dog-days" of August strike terror to our hearts 1 At least it does for the shopping reporter, whose privilege it is to view beautiful things just as they, are taken from their tis sue wrappings. ' In fact the charm of the new fash ions for fall and winter cast such a spell over me yesterday afternoon, that in my interest I quite forgot that the thermometer registered a hundred in the shade, and it was only the ding-donging of the bell in the big department store, where I was being so delightfully entertained by two of the clever buyers, that brought me to the realization that it was a hot day, and the early closing hot of five. "Of course Paris is not sending over the amount of things that she former ly did," remarked one of these buyers, as she showed me some very lovely frocks of satin and serge,, "but she certainly has put her whole soul in the designing of styles they are ab solutely different! charming 1" There was one Jeanne Lanvin frock of navy tricotine that she produced for my inspection, wiith which I im mediately fell in love. "Delightfully juvenescent isn't it?" she enthused. "iSiote these simple lines so charac teristic of Lanvin! this Russian blouse front I -and the petal-like folds of the material which form the collar 1" certainly caught her enthusiasm: it was so youthful in it's charm. Then there was an afternoon frock by Jenny, that I declare was a beauty. Numerous rows of fine, tailored braid on the little apron sides of the blue serge portion, were topped by an over basque (Oh! my yes ''basques" are with. us again!) of black satin, which had a perfect regiment of tiny buttons marching in soldierly precision down the front. aUguST BtTMotfTT.
