Mrs. John Palmer Nye of Shenan-. doah, la., whose war poems have been printed in The Bee, received a nice letter of thanks and appreciation of the Lauder poem in The Bee from Harry Lauder, who at the time of writing was at Royal Pier hotel, Southsea, England. The date of the letter was July 3. Mrs. Nye had many letters of appreciation from strangers, as the poem was copied by different papers. Call for Hostesses. A call has come to the state Red Cross for women between the ages of 30 and 40 years to act as hostesses in the huts near the aviation camps in France. The women who will do this most important work must be able to pay their own expenses. The men in the aviation service find these ricreation huts veritable havens, for they are under such great ner vous strain while on duty that the rest is absolutely necessary. There will be two hostesses at each hut. Card from King George. Mrs. E. M. Smith, 1706 South Sev enteenth street, has received a card dated Windsor Castle and signed by King George, thanking her, as one of the American people, for her serv ices to the allies. In the same mail Mrs. Smith received a card from her son, Roy E. Smith, who sailed about the middle of July, telling her of his safe arrival. The card from King George is evidently one that has been distributed to American soldiers for sending home as a form of apprecia tion on the part of the British gov ernment. Heads Industrial Committee. Mrs. F. J. Birss has accepted the chairmanship of the committee on women in industry, Douglas County Council of Defense, women's com mittee. The Americanization committee omitted its regular meeting Tuesday because of the Young Women's Christian association speakers' insti tute and the absence from the city of Mrs. Samuel Rees, chairman of the educational committee.

Mrs. Lillian Baymer, 1910 Capitol avenue; Miss Elsie Lgan, 3438 Sara toga street, and Miss Ruby Smith, 2454 Harney street, have been ac cepted for clerical work abroad, and Miss Edith Baker of Grant, Neb., and Miss Ruth Courtright of Beaver City for canteen work. Appeal for Harvard Classics. Has any one a set of the Harvard ckusics they will give to the public library? Miss Edith Tobitt has a call for such a set from the Knights of Columbus hut in Fort Omaha. Wash ington headquarters of the war camp library association, have no more of these sets on hand. Omaha Girl in France. Miss Elizabeth Stewart, who is now doing canteen work at Cham bery, France, writes in such an inter esting fashion of her work there. In this beautiful spot the soldiers spend their eight days' furlough from the trenches and they cannot find words to express their appreciation of the work American women are doing Plans are underfoot for Thanksgiving and Christmas, Miss Stewart writes, as many of the men hope to spend their holidays at this place. In a let ter to her mother, Mrs. Robert Stew art, this patriotic worker encloses three letters which they have received from the men expressing their grati tude and tellinor of the or K.n.fit .

Billy Beligura Appears, THE five tramps continued to thrash around with their arms, even after the Birds were gone. They were like a crowd of boys fight ing a nest of bumblebees. And they certainly looked as if they had been badly stung. The Birds had used their beaks to good effect, and the faces of the men were covered with cuts and bruises. Every one of them was slashed as though he had been in a real battle. Maybe the Birds could have whipped them, after all. T3ut even so, it would have been a costly victory, as the tramps would surely have killed a number of Birds, and Peggy did not want a single one of her feathered friends to die for her. She was glad she had sent the Birds away. So sudden had been the attack, and so swiftly had they fled, that every one had escaped without injury. "Was that a cyclone?" asked Bertie, the Boozer. "It blew away our potpie," wailed Hal the Fat. "The birds thought they would have their meal first. One of them lunched off my ear," groaned Laugh ing Jake. "There's something queer about that girl and those birds" growled Tags. "They've followed us ever since we captured her." "Why did you bring her here? SHE PUT HER EAR CLOSE TO THE BOARDS AND LISTENED. Stealing children is a mighty danger ous thing," declared Raggedy Jim. "This girl is worth a fortune to us," answered Tags. "The way she dances with that bear would make the biggest kind of a hit with a circus or in a vaudeville show." "But kidnapping doesn't make any kind of a hit with the police. We'll all get jugged for this," protested Ber tie the Boozer.

The ceremony took place Monday afternoon at the I want to meet the day With gladness and a smile; I want to keep the Way With hopefulness the while. I want to see the task With clearness and delight.

Three loads of unsalable articles were carried to the dump Monday, by orders of the salvage department. This was because people still send broken down furniture and objects unfit for further use, to the salvage department.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: Would you kindly advise me what would be an appropriate gift fur a town to give a girl who is leaving to be an army nurse? She has enlisted and will go in a few weeks. Could we get some sort of an emblem which would signify the town and her branch of service? J. Why not give her a nice wrist watch appropriately engraved? There are very few things a nurse is allowed to carry with her, but a good watch would be.very convenient and a con stant reminder of home. SOldior Wants Letters. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: Would you be so kind aa to tender a small space in your paper for an ap peal from a lonesome soldier who would like to correspond with some Omaha girl? I am a Nebraska prod uct and always have a warm spot for the dear old state. I have heard so much about the hospitality of the Omaha people being offered to the soldiers there, so I will ask you to please tell them about me. My ad dress is Robert Leonard, care Y. M. C. A., Fort Logan, Colo. Girls who care to cheer a lonesome soldier may write him at the above address. A Dilemma. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I have been going with a young man two years my senior for over a month and he says he cares for me, but when I go out with girl friends he takes other girls out riding. I really do not know what to think about it. I think a lot of this young man, though I do not like to show lt. I am going on a vacation soon. Would lt be proper for me to write to him? Which is the most popular way for a girl of 17 to wear her hair? X. Y. Z. The best plan would be not to think of the matter at all. You are too young to worry about whether he "cares" for you. and he is probably Interested in other girls as much as he is in you. You are sensible not to show your feelings. If you keep on concealing them successfully you will soon find that you have lost interest in the young man. Write to him if he asks you to. Not otherwise. The most popular way of wearing the hair seems to be to pull lt straight back from the face in front and puff it out over the ears, with a low knot in back.

"You're for doing what the gang says to do," threatened Tags. "Just now the question is who is going to cook the stuff I brought from town for supper?" "Hal the Fat is," said Laughing Jake. "Let Raggedly Jim do it," said Hal. "It's Tag's turn," said Jim. "It's up to Bertie the Boozer," said Tags. "Let's play cards to see who'll do it," concluded Bertie. And that is what they did. But be fore they began to play, Laughing Jake brought out his gun and leaned it against a stump beside him, declar ing he was going to get the potpie if the Birds came back. "My, it must be awful to be so lazy that you'd rather go hungry than do the cooking," thought Peggy. She had listened very intently to their talk and she felt that in Raggedy Jim she had a possible friend. And per haps in Bertie the Boozer, too, al though he looked so wobbly and dis reputable that it probably wouldn't make much difference whether he was for her or against her. Peggy had now time to examine her prison. It was a very stout box, with heavy boards on all sides except one, and on that side were slats so solid that she knew she couldn't break them. It seemed hopeless to think of trying to escape without help from outside. But help was nearer than she thought. She heard a stealthy chirp from behind the box. She put her ear close to the board,! and listened. "Princess Peggy, we are still here," whispered General Swallow. 'Billy Belgium has come, too, and he says he will free you if he has to whip all five tramps at the same time, He says to be ready to break out when every thing is ready." "I'll be ready," whispered Peggy in answer. Peggy was very anxious to see what Billy Belgium would do. She couldn't imagine how he could set her free. As for his whipping the tramps, she knew he had the courage to try it, but it was altogether too big a job for one boy, no matter how brave he was. The Birds, who had been very quiet for some time, now began a loud clat ter on the opposite side of the clear ing. The tramps stopped their game to listen, and Laughing Jake reached for his gun. They didn't want an other slashing and clawing from the Birds. But no Birds came in sight and the tramps went on with their game. Peggy quickly saw the reason for the loud noise. In the midst of it Reddy Woodpecker with a whole corps of Woodpeckers quietly ap peared in front of her prison. They promptly attacked the bottom of the slats, drilling into them with their sharp bills. The clatter of the other Birds drowned out most of the sound of their hammering and they were concealed from the tramps by weeds that grew in front of the box. By vigorous work, at which they took turns so they could keep going at top speed, they soon had the slats cut nearly through. While they were doing this, Peggy noticed an odd happening behind the tramps. General Swallow darted out toward Laughing Jake's gun and as quickly darted back again into the woods. Then the gun began to wob ble. In a moment it fell over. The tramps were so wrapped up in their game that they paid no attention to it. After a short pause the gun began to move toward the woods. When it was halfway there it caught upon a root. It seemed to try to get over the root, but stilck there fast. All of, a sudden there was a loud bang as one of the barrels of the gun was dis charged. The frightened tramps fell off the boxes on which they were sit ting. At the same moment Billy Bel gium leaped from the woods, snatched up the pun and leveled it at the tramps. He had been pulling it with a string which General Swallow had slinped over its barrel. It had gone off unexpectedly when the trigger cauofht on the root. "Hands upl" shouted Billy. Into the air went "five pairs of hands as the tramps obeved. "Break out, Princess Peccy." added Bill. Peggy threw herself against the weakened shf and they gave way be fore her. She was free again, at least for the moment. (Tomorrow will be deacrlbed Lonesome Bear's revenge.) . Cowardice an Illness.
