the boys in khaki. In our zeal for
our fighting men we are apt to for
get those other soldiers who serve
so silently 'and well, the Red Cross
nurses. Should not they, too, have
a share in our affection and labor?
With a large post hospital at
Fort , Omaha, many white-capped
nurses are to be found in constant
attendance at this institution of
healing where Uncle Sam comprises
the board of directors. ""Many of
these efficient young women are
strangers to Omaha and they, too,
are very lonely at times.
Plans for,their entertainment are
already under way. The drama
section of the Patriotic League
clubs is planning a reception in
their honor. If these patriotic
nurses would liHe a club of their
own organized for social affairs it
will be arranged, but if they choose,
they may join one of the clubs in
corporated in the Patriotic league.
Some one has expressed a wish
that the hospitable homes of Oma
ha might be thrown open to these
young women just as they have
been to the soldiers, for a delicious
dinner, seasoned with frieldliness.
would indeed be a boon to these
nurses, without whom the war could
never be won.
Girls off Paxton-Gallagher Red
Cross auxiliary, of which Miss Bess
Greenfield is chairman, are pioneers
in the move to extend a friendly
hand to the nurses.

New War Songs Given on
October Columbia Records
All of the new war songs and
many of the old favorites have been
rcptoduced in the new Columbia
records offered in the new October
collection now on sale.
"The greatest thoughts in life are
too deep for words," and so many
of these selections, sung by the
world's greatest artists, beggar de
scription. Among these are "Abide
with Me," sung by Henry Burr, and
"Long, Long Ago," a mezza soprano
solo by Barbara Maurel '
A new record, "On ot Victory
March," is a martial piece that is
"peppy" enough to keep the Yanks
marching along the weary road to
Berlin. It has been arranged with
fife, drum and bugle corps and in
cludes snatches of all the best-loved
national airs.
The new dance records are "satu
rated with syncopation" and are
guaranteed to start any crowd, from
G. A. R. veterans to Methodist
preachers, to dancing. i'Thex Dark
town Strutters' Ball" is a jazz fox
trot. "Here Comes America" and
"Oh, Frenchy" are patriotic one
steps. Other irresistible offerings in the
new collection are: Collins and
Harlan in the new character son.
'When Uncle Joe Steps into France:"
Henry Burr's solo, "France. We
Have Not Forgotten You." and the
trench, hit sung by Arthur Fields
ind.a male quartet. "Keep Your
Heafr Down, Fritzie Boy."

The 6pirit of the Hills. v
(Peggy is sent for by Billy HeUium,
who has found a band of Indians on the
warpath. Billy is captured by too In
diana, who threaten to burn him at thoi
stake. He is helped to escape by Pesrsy, !
the Night Birds and Lonesome Bear.) j
CONFUSION filled the Indian
i i camp, inc unexpected, nery
! v" attack by the supposed help-
less captive left dozens cf smarting
.burns among the braves. The hair-
j pulling raid by the Night Birds was
an all-around surprise for young and 1
eld, Chief Many Cows bang on his I
ear from Peggy's air rifle filled him
with wonder as well as pain. Then
the startling appearance of Lone
so - Bear capped the climax. A
real, live bear hadn't been seen in
the hills in years and years.
The whirl of excitement died
away as quickly as it began. Billy
Belgium gained the shelter of the
ravine and soon was beside Peggy.
The Night Biyls vanished trfto the
c1arkness before the Indians could
fight back at them. Lonesome Bear
disappeared, while the young braves
he had . scared were still tumbling
over each other.
But the feelings of the Indians
were badly upset. Instead of rush
ing in pursuit of Billy Belgium, the
warriors grabbed their guns and
crouched down as if in (ear of an
attack. The women and children
cowered behind them
foe appeareed, thev calmed down
and formed .a a circle for a council.
"My brave red men, strange
things happen in the woods," began
Chief Many Cows, one hand rub
bing the ear that Peggy had shot
and the other nursing a bum left by
Belly Belgium's firebrand. His re-
.I
'THl, SPIRIT OF THE HILLS
SPEAKS."
mark struck Peggy as very funny
and she nearly snickered right out.
Chief Many Cows looked around
cautiously and went on.
"Queer omens have come to us
the mvsterious Pale Face boy, the
When no ' furies from the air, the blow from
an unseen hand and the bear that
walks like a man." i
"The bear! The bear I The bearl"
suddenly wailed Sitting Man. "Re
member tho legend of the Spirit of
the Hills."
Billy Belgium, listening eagerly
from above, grasped Peggy's, hand.
"I know that legend," he whis
pered. "The Indians in olden times
used tJ believe that the Spirit of the
Hills, appearing in the form of a
gigantic bear, kept guard over the
mountains, working good to all who
were good and evil to all who were
evil."
Chief Many Cows went on with
his speech.
"Are these omens favorable to
our attack on the Pale Faces? What
think you, my people.?"
"I'll answer that," whispered Billy
Belgium. "I have a plan to send
these Indians scooting home.
Where's that megaphone?"
Peggy handed it to him, and in a
moment he was gone.
From the Indian council tame ex
cited cries. 1 he br.tves were in a i
1. . ......... ...... ........ !n rr nf '

the omens.
"I don't believe in spirits, I want
scalps!" shrieked Much Ha;.r. A lot
of the younger Indians took up the
same cry and marchedy around the
fire chanting the. battle cry: 'Scalps!
We want scalps.' "
Sitting Man arose and solemnly
addressed the council.
' "Our young men have the fighting
fever. It is a good fever. Too long
has it slumbered in the veins of
otr Indian braves. The omen of j
the bear is good. But the Spirit !
of the Hill 3 does not want us to j
fight boys, It wants us to fight j
Pale Face men. i hey are worthy
foes. Let us fight them."
"Scalps! We want scalps!"
rang out the cry of the young men,
and in ?.n instant thewhole camp
had taken it uo. warriors, suuaws
and papooses: "Scalpsl We want I
scalps" j
With loud whoops, the Indians
rushed toward the Vavine, only to
halt abruptly, their yells changing
to shrill cries of alarm. On a high
flat rock that overhung the entrance
to the basin, revealed by a strange
glow that came from beneath 4iis
feet, stood Lonesome Bear. He was
reared on his hind legs, his teeth
showing in an angry snarl. The
glow, which Peggy quickly recog
nized as coming from Billy Bel
gium's pocket electric flashlight,
threw an immense shadow on the
rocks behind him and made him
appear of huge size.
In the silence that followed the
first cries of the- Indians, a great
voice, seemingly coming from
Lonesome Bear, boomed out with
echo-waking loudness.
"The Spirit of the Hills speaks!
Good to those who do good! Evil to
those who do evil!"
The Indians listened spellbound.
All except Much Hair. "I don't be
lieve in spirits, I want scalps," he
shrieked. He raised his gun and
pointed it right at Lonesome Bear.
Peggy snapped her air rirle, hoping
to spoil his aim. But Much Hair
shot first.
Then Lonesome Bear did a queer
thing. He pretended to catch the
bullet in his paws, like a base ball
player catching a. ball, and swung
his paw as if throwing the bullet
back. As he did so, the shot from
Peggy's rifle hit Much Hair right on
one of the burned spots on his legs.
With an awful howl he dropped to
the ground as if his leg were
broken.
The Indians gave a loud cry of
wonder and fear.

Omaha Y.M. C. A. Gives
Its Fighting Members
Identifying Cards
Although more than 450 members
of the Omaha Young Men's Chris
tian association are in the service,
the local branch now has the largest
membership in its history.
To every -member who enters the
service an indestructible aluminum
card is given on which the mem
ber's name is engraved. The uni
form he -wears entitles him to all
privflegesjn any branch of the asso
ciation in the world, but the card is
evidence of his previous member
ship, and keeps him in good stand
ing after his discharge for the period
for which he had previously paid up.
Not all members have notified the
association, and the secretary would
like to haveTtiem do so and receive
their cards when they enter the serv
ice. v -
The card idea orginated in Oma
ha and is rapidly being taken up by
other branches all over the coun
try. Enlisted men are taking advantage
of the privilege extended them by
the association, according to Secre
tary George Campbell. The gym
nasium, baths, pool rooms, reading
rooms and other places of recreation
are nearly always -well filled with
soldiers. One Sunday morning at
5 oclock the swimmyig pool was
thrown open to 250 soldiers who
were passing through.
