THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: SEPTEMBER 22. 191. V DINNER DANCE WINDS UP FIELD CLUB SEASON Two Hundred Dollars Raised For Belgian Baby Relief Fund; Many Soldiers Attend Function. The Omaha Field club closed a most successful season last night with a dinner-dance, which was at tended by more than 400 members. Although the weather was a little "crimpy ," it was ideal for the occa sion and the big clear moon stream ing over the, sparkling dance floor seemed to reflect the bright cheery attitude of those present The dancing commenced about 8:30 in the large open dance pavil lion, which was cleverly hung with the flags of American and the allied nations. It was an unusually active ciowd which was present last night, and nearly everyone was on the f.oor for every number. An usual sprinkling of men in uniform was evident throughout the dining room and on the dance floor. This was probably due to the fact that during the past season, the club opened its doors to many of the military officers who were perman ently stationed here. Nearly $200 was realized for the Belgian Baby Relief Fund through the sale of place cards, which were the same as those sold on the streets yesterday. A committe of girls, in charge of Mrs. A. V. Shotwell, sold the cards. A greater interest in all club acti vities seemed evident this year than in former years, according to A. V. Shotwell, president of the club. This was true, in spite of the great de crease of young men members. Among the large party reserva tions for the everting were: E. P. Boyer, 16 guests: O. VV. Dunn, 16: W S. Stryker, 11; R. M. Jones, 11; C. D. Stttrtevant, 10; E. F. Riley. 10; and V. H. Yohe, 12. Many requests for party. reservations had to be re fused, for lack of space to accommo date the guests. At the stockholder's banouet held earlier in the week, the board of directors of the club renorfed a sur plus of more than $6,000 in the treasury.

BOY NARROWLY ESCAPES DEA1H PLAYING "WAR" Button and Fountain Pen Save Life of Boy Struck by Bultet From Play mate's Rifle.

Glen Catlin, aged 12, was an "enemy" approach ing the dugout bastion when he was fired upon by Emig. The weapon used was a Winchester Target rifle The bullet, fired from a distance of more than a block, struck the pas tor's son on the left side. It wasted some of its energy in splitting a stout button on the boy's coat, more of it breaking a metal buckle on his belt and was finally stopped by strikinsr a metal pencil. It never touched his skin at any point. The near-ragedy occurred Friday afternoon The Emig boy and many others have excavated a cave in one of the hills of Morningside. where they have plaved miniature war fare after school. Glen Catlin was a little late in reaching the rendezvous and he naturally became "the nemy" when he approached. He was more than a block away when ddie gave he warning signal of "enemy coming over." It was a peculiar whi'e. which GVn imitat ed exactly. This stamned him a a "spy." and Eddie fired at once. He hnuht tb gun was loaded with a cartridge but it was a .22 sMl.

Food Ad ministrator Hoover, in outlining in a statement issued tonight the food conservation program recommend ed for the American people during the coming year, said the United States was prepared to ship 5.730, 000 more tons of foodstuffs to its armies and allies than last year and still have a margin over the amount necessary to maintain health and strength at home. The great undertaking cannot be accomplished, however, Mr. Hoover emphasized, without due regard to the importance of saving by every person. With no prospect, as he saw it, of a proper ending of the war before the summer campaign of 1919. the food problem, the food adminstrator declared, is no sman pari oi ine is sue. The allied civilians and armies, the American armies, the Belgian relief and certain neutrals who are dependent upon the United States will require 17,550,000 tons of food stuffs for the year beginning Tuly 1. This, in round numbers, will in clude meats and fats '2,600,000 tons; breadstuffs 10.400,000; sugar 1,850, 000, and feed grains, mostly army oats. 2,700,000. There will be no food rationing in this country so long as the peo ple continue to conserve as in the past, Mr. Hoover said. "Of our imports," Mr. Hoover said, "we shall apparently have suf ficient sugar to maintain the pres ent consumption and -take care of the extra drain of the allies from our markets, instead of compelling them to send their ships to the far east "The average consumption of our people of breadstuffs amounts to about six pounds per week and of meats and fats four pounds per week for each person. A reduction in consumption of less than one-half pound per week per person in each of these two great groups of foods would accomplish our purpose. We wish to emphasize, however, that we do not want curtailment in the use of milk for children." "Some of our homes by reason of limited income cannot now provide more food than they should have to maintain health in the family. They cannot rightfully be asked to make the suggested reduction in consumption. But the sreat ma jority of our homes can do more than suggested. "We need even greater simplicity of living than last year. "We estimate that nearly 9,000,000 people eat at our public eating places hotels, restaurants, board ing houses, clubs, dining cars and so forth. The food consumption in these daces is larger than in the average homes. We are asking the proprietors and employees of these 100 MEMBERS ON ATHLETIC CLUB ROLLS m WEEK Committees Get Busy and Bring in Many New Names as Result of Drive. Memberships in the Omaha Athletic club were increased by over 100 last week under the spur given by the announcement that the new .club house was nearing completion. Prominent business men were in vited to inspect the new home of iht club and the various member ship teams were organized under the general leadership of W. B. T. Belt, who is general chairman. The club now has more than 1,200 members on its roll and the commit tee anticipates little trouble in rais ing this list to the limit which has been set by the directors. Many annliratinn hav atraadv hijn mad institutions to undertake, in many for tne rooms which will be rented particulars, a more strict program than last year, and we are confident that they will willingly do this. "We have so arranged the inter national food program, that except fot a moderate substitution of other cereals in bread, it will not. we hope be necessary to substitute one food stuff for another, nor to resort to wheat'ess and meatless days. 'lit is necessary that every famjlv in the United States study its food budget and food ways to see if it cannot buy less, serve less, return nothing to the kitchen and practif the gospel of the clean plate."
