Writes f SMtoaira Scare Hints of a submarine scare, per haps a U-boat attack, on one of the ships carrying members of Nebraska base hospital unit No. 49, overseas are contained in a letter Mrs. U. E. Ludwick and Miss Alta Anson received from their sister, Miss Besse Anson, now in France. "When we disembarked here in England we were just about the hap piest bunch on earth. I'll tell you when I get back, of the exciting ex perience .ve had, an experience no one could have in time of peace. We spent one whole day of thrills, but I wasn't the least bit frightened and can say the same for the majority. It seems good to be able to undress and go to bed without cuddling a life preserver. When we landed in England, each was given a letter of greeting from the king which made us feel welcome. Crowds of women and children were at the station where we took our train and sang songs and waved the Star Spangled Banner and the Union Jack. The children sang, "The Yanks are Coming," as we were crossing on the ferry boat. As we came along on the train yesterday, people were leaning out of the windows, on fences or any place they could get and waving flags at us. Some of the flags only had "Welcome" on them. England is a beautiful country, but everything seems queer. In the cars the seats are on the side, as they are on the South Omaha street cars, with long stationary tables in the middle. It was lots of fun eat ing on the train and a man gave us a drink of water at one of the sta tions as we passed. It was about the thin? good drink I had had since leaving New York. We came across the English channel in a large hospital ship and they put us to bed in the patients' wards, with life preservers under our pillows, as usual.

This city is a very pretty one and we see lots of Sammies every place, and they do seem tickled to death to see us. The French are treating us royally, and you would be surprised how well they speak Eng lish. Last night they had our table1 in the dining room decorafcd with both their flag and ours and it made us feel welcome indeed. There were a good many American officers there, and they greeted us with smiles from ear to ear." Miss Anson took her training in Wise Memorial hospital and is on the honor roll of the First Methodist church. Swallow angrily, as the chat of the handsome Rooster with the Red Bird seemed to grow very confidential. "But that's not Mrs. Swallow. She's purple," said Peggy. "That's her disguise," answered Swallow. "Here she pretends to love me so much she wouldn't look at another bird, and now see her." "She's only flirting a bit. That's every woman's privilege," said Peggy, soothingly. But it didn't soothe General Swallow. "I don't want her to flirt," he blustered, "And as for that Rooster I'll spoil his looks in a hurry." "If she finds she can make you jealous she will flirt all the more just to tease you," advised Peggy. "There's a better way to cure her." "What's that?" demanded Gen eral Swallow, calming down a bit. "Why flirt a little yourself. Make her jealous!" "That's just what I'll do. But with whom shall I flirt?" "You sjtnight try me," giggled Peggy. "Humph!" said General Swallow, "Parrots are not just my style of beauty, but I guess you'll do." His frankness gave Peggy a little shock, but it was so funny she wasn't a bit offended. "How shall we begin," asked "Smile I Smile 1" said Peggy. General Swallow forced a sickly smile, and bent toward Peggy with a courtly air as he whispered: "I'd like to wring that Rooster's neck." Peggy glanced up and caught Mrs. Swallow's eye. The bride was look ing at her with horror. She had apparantly forgotten all about the Rooster, who stood beside her. "See, it's working!" said Peggy softly. General Swallow looked up quickly. "Oh, my poor darling. I'll go to her atonce." "You'll do nothing of the kind. j You'll make love to me," said Peggy severely. General Swallow reluct antly resumed his loverlike pose, j while Mrs. Swallow glared and ' 1 1 Tl T-l . , giarea. men noosier saia some thing to her. She nodded grimly and strutted off across the green. As she passed General Swallow she gave him a bang on the ear and hissed just one word: "Beastl" "Wait I You've nearly won," she urged. But apparantly he' hadn't won for soon Mrs. Swallow was deep in flir tation with the Pheasant. "See what she's doing now," moaned General Swallow. "And a few minutes ago that very Pheas ant told me the Rooster was trying to steal my wife." What he sa'id popped an idea into is, and I'm not going to stand it. I'm going to thrash these fresh strangers who are flirting with my wife." , "No, you're not. You're going to keep your head and find what the trouble is. Listen!" She pulled him behind a tiny bush, where they could hear an exited discussion go ing on "among several birds. One was just finishing speaking: "I never figured I was working very hard on the farm, but when 1 look back I can see I've done a lot. Maybe I was foolish to give all that work for nothing." j Seeks Heavy Damages for Death of Husband in Club Lillian Allen, widow of Joseph Allen, killed March 28, while work ing on the erection of the new Omaha Athletic club, filed an please keep quiet, for there's a deep j amended petition to her original mystery here that we mnst solve." suit in district court Wednesday in which she now asks $45,800 dam ages against the Selden Breck Con struction company and the Omaha Athletic club.

"You'll notice she isn't here to night," said the first bird. Peggy was hurt and indignant. Here were more birds criticizing her. She must defend herself. But if she defended herself she would reveal who she was and that might prevent her rinding the enemies who were spreading false stories among the birds. But she quickly learned she didn't need to defend herself. She had a loyal defender in General Swallow. "Shame on you, birds!" he spoke up, "You know Princess Peggy bet ter than that, bhe s done so much for us you ought to snap the head off any one who speaks against her.

Nobody can tell when you draken gray, faded hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur. n Grandmother kept her hair beau tifully darkened, glossy and attrac tive with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
