GABBY DETAYLS may be call
ed in to referee an exciting
engagement some day. That is, if
the various, war funds publicity rep
resentatives continue to follow
each other up as contiguously as
they, have in the last week.
Mrs. Lucien Stephens, represent
ing Omaha Red Cross chapter, and
Mrs. Martin II. Harris of the Lib
erty loan woman's committee, are
the principals of the most recent
action.
Charges of using up too much
"white paper" or newspaper space
made and denied by one, relative to
the other's war cause.
Gabby suggests definite appoint
ment hours for each publicity agent.

mother at home all alone the whole

TWO young men, a bachelor and
Benedict, strolled out on the
carnival grounds the other evening.
The married man is a splendid fel
low, but not of the type that is call
ed on to pose as Adonis in private
theatricals. However, a frisky
young girl picked him as a target

Married Man turned, with a smile,
to give her a gay greeting, her

ONEY is as nothing to the women of America when
they are spending it for their sons. That is why
the Fourth Liberty loan is called the "Mothers'

ri ABBY has been doing a little
J detective work in the bache
lor line. When we tell you that "the
finger of time" has sprinkled a lit
tle snow among their closely crop
ped locks you will be all the more
interested, for Dan Cupid has been
on their trail for many years. They
both live in the Field club district
and we are told on good authority
that Bachelor No. 1 is paying very
serious attentions to a dashing
widow. All through the summer
months this courtship has been pro
gressing and now Gabby expects re
sults. Bachelor No. 2 may be seen roll
ing home every evening in his own
car, to be sure, but his chauffeur is
a very aSiractive woman. From out-of-town
is she and a visitor in our
fair city, but Mr. Omaha has capitu
lated. His car is a very late model
of the roadster type, and perhaps if
you keep a sharp lookout you can
guess the secret.
ftfpHE well laid plans of mice
and men aft gang aglee," the
immortal words of Robert Burns,
still hold even in this day of Lib
erty loan drives. Mrs. Franklin
Shotwell, who is one of the speak
ers for the drive, had a unique plan
for the opening of her speech. Hold
ing up a silver dollar she said:
"What is it that you can't buy
with a dollar?" Of course, she ex
pected the answer, "Love and Life."
But Mrs. Shotwell had failed to
reckon with the spirit of the times
as we are now dealing with cold
facts, coal facts,, to be more accu
rate, for one housewife in the back
of the house answered, "Coal!"
WATCHIXGthTelectrical pa
rade at Nineteenth and Far
nam, streets Wednesday night
was a little family, the father of
which carried the youngest son, age
about three years, on his shoulder.
After the paradev had passed the
small child began to shriek in a
way that stopped the rapidly dis
persing crowd, who listened
breathless to learn the cause of the
child's great grief. Finally they
made out the words, "I want to
see some more parade. I want some
more," from the still unsatisfied
youngster.

Miss Leah Keith, formerly with
The Bee, now one of the govern
ment's specially recruited clerical
assistants in Washington, is visit
ing her mother, Mrs. Anna Keith,
in Omaha. Miss Keith was sent
as special stenographer to Cedar
Rapids, to take the proceedings of
a meeting of federal employes held
in connection with the national
swine show there, and was given
leave to spend ten days in Omaha
immediately following.
Miss Keith went to Washington
cariy last July, where she is em
ployed in the bureau of animal in
dustry, in the department of pork
production. The chief of the de
partment is E. Z. Rissell, formerly
of the Twentieth Century Farmer.
Miss Keith makes her home with
Mr. and Mrs. Russell, as does Mrs.
Mary Hulst, another former Bee
employe, and two other Nebraska
girls. All are employed, even Mrs.
Russell having gone to work in the
personnel department of the Red
Cross.
"Everyone has to take roomers in
Washington," said Miss Keith.
''They are going around to the
houses and listing the vacant rooms,
insisting that they be filled. No
slacker rooms are permitted in the
capital. We understand that bar
racks accommodating 50,000 women
arc to be built at once. These bar
racks will consist of little apart
ments of two rooms each, with a
kitchenette in connection, so the
girls can cook their own meals and
prepare lunches to take with them.
This will be a splendid thiner, as
girls are pouring in and the city is
getting more and more crowded
constantly."
The street car accommodations
are another thing that is now in
adequate, according to Miss Keith.
Nearly everyone goes to work at 9
and goes home at 4:30 with a half
hour for t lunch. This makes the
art so crowded morning and eve
ning that it is almost impossible to
board them. On this account,
there is a plan now under way to
rotate the hours, some employes
going to work later and remaining
later.
Miss Leah Osborn, another for
mer Bee employe, is also in the
same department in Washington
with Miss Keith and Mrs. Hulst.
CONSERVATION NOTES
Visitors at the county fair had
their attention called to the conser
vation of food, clothing and fuel
through the booth established for
that purpose. The fine display of
canned vegetables grown in war
gardens attracted a great deal of
attention. Many prizes were
awarded by the County Fair asso
ciation. The prize offered by- the
National War Garden commission
was awarded to Mrs. Dykstra, 803
North Forty-third street. Her col
lection of 12-quart jars of vegetables
was the best in size, quality and va
riety. The prize consists of a na
tional capitol prize certificate and a
book half filled with thrift stamps.
Other collections that received
honorable mention by the judges
were exhibited by Mrs. George De
vereatix, 4509 Camden avenue; Miss
Loa Howard, 3107 Nicholas; Mrs.
Fred Elliott, 5107 Webster street;
Mrs. S. J. Holmes, 4504 South
Twenty-second street, and John and
Thomas Rinn, 3414 Cass street.
The home made soap and "Max's
Mix," exhibited by County Agri
cultural Agent Maxwell, proved of
general interest. "Max's Mix,"
made of one part peanut butter and
one part sorghum, is rich in protein,
fat, carbohydrate and mineral mat
ter and is to be used as a spread for
sandwiches. No butter is needed
when this is used. Mr. Maxwell
had on display interesting posters
showing how the honey industry
and sorghum making are aiding the
conservation of sugar.
The conservation council will hold
its monthly conference Wednesday
at the Young Men's Christian asso
ciation at 2:30 p. m. All district
chairmen, are expected to .be present
and meet the new state leader,' Mrs.
A. E. Davisson, from Lincoln.
The instruction classes for the
week are as follows:
Saratoga Tuesday, 3:30 p. m.;
Mrs. R. H. Fair, chairman; subject,
"Eggs Milk and Cheese."
Bancroft Tuesday, 2 o'clock;
Mrs. George Begerow, chairman;
subject, "Eggs, Milk and Cheese."
Farnam School Tuesday, 3:30 p.
m,; Mrs. Henry, Reade, chairman;
subject, "Meat Substitutes and Full
Meal Dishes."
South Lincoln School 3 p. m.;
Mrs. G. W. Sears, chairman; sub
ject, "Meat Substitutes and Full
Meal Dishes."
Miss Farnsworth will speak at
these meetings if she is in the city.
On account of an immediate need
for dietitians in the military hospi
tals, Miss Farnsworth has been
asked to serve in this capacity. If
her call comes this week, other ar
rangements for the instruction
classes will be announced.
