Smith College Club
Takes Up Work For
French Orphan Fund
Madame August M. Borglum. who
for more than three years has had
complete charge and management of
the Fatherless Children of France,
in the capacity of chairman, secre
tary and treasurer, has been obliged
to resign, from the position, on ac
count of. the enormous proportions
to which this work has grown.
The Smith College club of 27
members has undertaken to sponsor
the work in Omaha and the follow
ing executive commitee was named:
Mrs. Edgar H. Scott, chairman;
Miss Eleanor McGilton, secretary
and treasurer, and Miss Virginia Of
futt, assistant secretary.
. Mr. and Mrs. Borglum, who have
given such loyal service to the cause
since the inception, have been named
honorary chairmen.
Since February, 1916, when Miss
Eleanor Fell and Miss F. M. Scho
field, gave their talks on needs of
the orphans of France at the Rome
hotel, 560 orphans have been placed
in Omaha and vicinity. This in
volves the sum of $26,475.99. Of
this .sum, $1,280.74 still remains in
the general fund to be assigned.
There are still 250,000 French or
phans to be cared for and in order
that Omaha and its allotted. district
may be able to assume responsibil
ity for its proper share, the larger
committee has been formed.
All future correspondence should

Pe'ach Pits for Gas Masks
What does the government want
cf peach stones? This question is
asked when the children come home
from school and state that their
room is contesting against the
others for the greatest number of
peach stones collected for their
Uncle Sam, and when the depart
ment stores establish booths for
receiving contributions of the
stones.
Peach stones are used as
the raw material for mak
ing the best grade of absorbent
charcoal for gas masks ever pro
duced; anJ the charcoal is used in
I the respirators for absorbing the
; deadly gases in the inspired air.
i How does charcoal act? In the
; first place, it is exceedingly por.ous.
I It is produced by roasting wood,
; dried blood, or other organic nia
I terial, and this roasting decomposes
' the material into two parts, one of
them gaseous, which passes -ff from
the retorts, and one of them solid,
which remains behind as charcoal.
Every minute cell, of the wood and
every part of a cell gave up some
of the gas during the operation and
:thus left minute pores all through
the material. Thus the wood char
coal that we know is very bulky for
itr weight and contains innumerable
fine pores. Now this highly porous
.charcoal has a remarkable property
ot aDsorDing certain kinds ot sub
stances. For example, a beskeiful of
it dumped into a privy vault re
moves all the bad smelling gases:
i enormous quantities of char are used
in clarifying and decoloring beet and
cane juices in sugar manufacture
j before a white product can be ob
tained; and we have all taken char
coal tablets for, the purpose of re
moving distressing gases arising
from digestive disorders.
The application of charcoal to the
gas mask, then, is obvious. The
contaminated air passes through a
layer of highly active carbon before
it reaches the mouth, and the
Eoisonous material is absorbed. It
; apparent that the more active the
Herman D. Harte, son of John E.
Harte, and Arthur R. Klopp, son of
A. T. Klopp, and both with the
Omaha Ambulance company, have
arrived safely overseas, according to
word received by Frank W. Judson.
The boys were formerly with the
Pittsburgh Plate Glass company.
Millard P. Durkee has also written
Mr. Judson from abroad.
Frank B. Heintze arrived in the
city Tuesday from a New England
seaport to spend a 12-day furlough
with his mother, Mrs. Mina Heintze
and his brother, George Heintze. He
has been on the armored cruiser, U.
S. S. Frederick for' the last six
months,, doing convoy duty to
France.
Mrs. F. R. Perrine, the charming
guest of Dr. and Mrs. A. A. Holt

charcoal is, the more the absorbing
power can be packed into the small
box on the front of the mask. Now,
all charcoal from all sources is not
equally active. Hence, before char
coal was used successfully in masks
a very active form had to be pro
duced. And it was found that the
hard, dense, compact substance 'of
nut shells and fruit stones formed
the most condensed and actively ab
sorbing charcoal. '

1614 CHICAGO ST, DOUG. 426S.
BILLY BELGIUM, grasping his
file, rushed to the end of the
beam at which the Rats were
aiming. Blue Peter. Bronze Beauty,
Carrie and Homer Pigeon followed.
Peggy turned her attention to the
baby Pigeons. She urged their moth
ers to gather them in the center of
the beam, where they would be out
of the way of Billy and the other
defenders.
She couldn't get the baby Pigeons
on the ledges, but they seemed fairly
safe for the present.
Leading the Rats was a big gray
H"l!ow whom the others cal.ed
Sneaker. He climbed so fast that
he was at the top of the post by
the time Billy Belgium got there.
Up he climbed, right over the beam,
his nose wrinkling up in an evil grin
and his whiskers bristling fiercely.
But as his nose came over the top
Billy Belgium met him with a bang
from the rile.
Sneaker gave a squeal of pain and
ducked his head out of sight. His
claws were still clutching the top of
the beam, however. "Whang!"
Billy Belgium brought the filedown
on one of them. With another
painful squeal, Sneaker let go and
would have fallen but for the other
Rats crowding up behind him.
The Rats hesitated only a moment
before resuming the attack. Up
came another nose. "Whang!" down
came Billy's file right on the sott
tip of it, and the nose disappeared
in a hurry. Up came a third and
then a fourth, while a fifth appeared
on the side of the beam behind
Billy. "Whang!" "Whang!" went the
file and "Squ-eek! Squ-eek!" came
hurt and angry exclamations from
the third and fourth Rats.
The fifth Rat seemed to have a
chance to gain the top while Billy
was busy with the others, but Blue
Peter and Homer Pigeon attacked
him furiously with their sharp beaks
and drove him back.
The Rats fell back to plan a new
attack. Billy Belgium needed the
rest, for the file was as heavy as a
crowbar to a boy of his reduced
size.
Suddenly there came an alarm
from the other side of the chamber.
Peggy looked around to find that
a big Rat had crawled up unnoticed
to a ledge a little above the beam.
C.i this ledge were several nests,
each with eggs in it. In a trice the
Rat gobbled tip the eggs and then
maliciously tore the nests to pieces.
"My nest My mate's eggs!" cried
Airy Pouter. "Oh, you brute!"
The Rat heard this and turned his
wicked eyes toward the beam. He
measured the short distance he
would have to jump and then leaped.
His forepaws caught the edge of the
beam, and his body swung below.
Peggy had no weapon to meet
him. But scooping up a handful
of dust which was thick on the
beam she threw it right into the
Rat's eyes. As the blinded rodent
clawed frantically at the beam.
Airy Pouter, wild with rage at the
destruction of his nest, furiously
attacked him, pecking his nose and
feet so fiercely that the Rat let go
and tumbled to the floor.
Meanwhile other Rats, abandon
ing the attack on the beam, were
climbing up toward the ledges. It
seemed that the baby Pigeons in
the nests there were doomed to a
horrible death.
But Billy Belgium had a plan.
The chair in which Carrie and Ho
mer Pigeon had carried him was
made of a fish line. This he was
now unwinding and cutting into
long lengths, using the sharp edges
of the rile to saw the strands.
He was tying these strings to
nails that stuck out in the beam.
"Help me, Peggy," he shouted.
and Peggy, like a good soldier,
obeyed without asking the reason.
In the opposite ends of the strings,
Billy made slip nooses. He quick
ly explained his plan to the right
ing Pigeons.
"Slip these nooses over the tails
of the Rats as they are busy climb
ing up," he ordered. "Then grab
hold and pull. You pacifists can
help," he said to the Steeple Pi
geons. " I.t seemed a risky business, but
Blue Peter and the others never
hesitated. Before the Rats knew
what they were about, nooses were
slipped over four snaky1 tails. The
Kats looked around in surprise, and
then grinned. It would be easy
to snap the strings in two.
"Pull!" shouted Billy, and the
pacifist Pigeons pulled with such
a will that the Rats found them
selves clawing madly to cling to
the lattice. Another pull and they
were dangling bv their tails far be
low the beam. The four other Rats
for the one that had fallen had
returned to the attack were dis
posed of just as quickly. In a ruin
ute they were dangling with their
fellows and madly clawing at each
other.
Just then a loud rasping noise
came from below. The great wheel
beside the bell began to revolve
The bell swung to and fro, and sud
denly a terrific clangor filled the
chamber. Billy and Pecgy grabbed
their ears and cowered down low j
on the beam. The very air seemed !
to be rocking and swaying. Peggy
wondered if a cyclone hid struck ,
the steeple. !
