Following this, Kev, b. t. Maner,
secretary of the church federation,
was called on for a short talk, and
spent several minutes in outlining
the work which he wishes to do
along the line of federation work
during the coming year. One of the

Scores of Teachers
Resign Their Places
To Work for Uncle Sam
Teachers in the Omaha schools
are resigning taster tnan tneir
places can be filled, it was stated at
the meeting of the Board of Educa
tion last night. In the few weeks
since the present term started more
than 75 have resigned, several ad
ditional resignations and leaves of
absence were acted upon by the
board last night. Most of the teach
ers are taking war jobs, which pay
bigger salaries than teaching.
The board decided to cut out
the handbook, a pocket volume con
taining information about the
schools, teachers' names, etc. Print
ing this would cost more than $300
and, as the list of teachers is chang
ing rapidly all the time, the hand
book, it is , believed, would be of
little value anyway. '
One member brought up the sub
ject of when the board s meeting
room would be repaired. For sv
eral years the plaster has been
hanging from the walls, the roof
leaks and the wall paint has curled
up under the influence of weather
and temperature. The room looks
like the third act scene in "East
Lynne." The board, however.
laughed the subject down last night
and decided that the room is good
enough as it is. Thus do these men
suffer uncomplainingly in the cause
of education. "

Aliens Are Expected '
To Fight Amendment
At the Next Election
It is understood that many aliens
who have recently obtained their
first naturalization papers, intend to
vote against the constitutional
amendment, which, if carried, would
prohibit aliens voting on their first
papers, as has been the custom.
The records in the court house
show that there was an unusual
rush of applicants for first papers
between September 1 and October
5. Applications will not be consid
ered for a period of 30 days before
the election on November 5, which
is according to law.
Comparative figures showing first
papers granted since May 1 are as
follows May, 46; June, 50; July,
52; August, 94; September, 212;
October 1 to 5, 21.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
Please advise me where I could sell
a pretty blue velvet hat, which 1
bought at; a certain store uptown
and they will not exchange, it for
me. I cannot afford to give U away,
so I thought I could sell it some
place so I could get what I gave for
it.. My sister purchased it for me,
but it is not a bit becoming. She
paid $6 for it, which I gave her.

Write Good-Natured Letters.
Dear Miss Fairfax. Omaha Bee:
Some time ago a lonely soldier boy
got my name and wrote to me. They
were merely friendly letters, but I
have become interested in them. He
has not answered my last letter,
would it be all right to write him
and ask him the reason of his not
writing, or Just forget him?
MERLE.
Many causes might have prevent
ed .your receiving' a letter. If sta
tioned in this country, he might have
"flu," might have been transferred
or for some other reason been una
ble to write. If in France, he might
have been in battle and wounded.
Certainly, write again, but do not re
proach the boy for not writing.
Keep your letters friendly and good
natured so they will cheer and not
irritate your soldier friend. Re
member, the boys in the army like
to get letters, but they are under or
ders and not always able to respond
regularly. (
Disappeared.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee
My fiancee enlisted as an ambulance
driver about the middle of July. I
haven't heard from him since about
a week after he left.
Is there any way in which I can
find out if he has taken ill or some
thine has happened to him? If
there is please tell me where I can
write to find out about him.
WORRIED.
If you heard from the young man
he must have told you to what post

number of the company, full name
of 'the man and any other informa
tion that might help trace him.
My Hat Diary
-BY-
Carita Herzog
Katrinka Green I Yesterday T met
a young lady who possesses that
name but she was adorable regard
less. I met her at Mrs. Van Covct s
tea. She sat right next to me at the
table, very charming and exceeding-
ly pretty. She wore a striking hat
of black velvet, rather large and
drooping at the sides. The crown
was soft and on the side a lovely
black bird of paradise waved proud
ly. It was really a very stunning
hit and looked lovely on the charm
ing Katrinka Green. She was very
entertaining and could tell us many
interesting things as she had just
been to the different camps.
Women's Work
in War Time
Does He Love Her?
Dear Miss Fairfax," Omaha Bee:
I am a young girl 20 years old. A
young man has proposed to me. He
is known to be quite a flirt, but he
has always forgotten other girls.
However, he was away two weeks
and wrote to me quite often, so I
don't think he regards me as the
others. He is always real 'affection
ate and shows his love in many
ways. He Insists on tickling me un
der the chin. Miss Fairfax, will you
please tell me the significance of
that? Do you think I should-thlnk
of marrying before the war Is over?
I have not accepted his proposal
yet so I don't know Just what our
relationship toward each other
should be. Do you think it proper
for him to hold my hand or kiss me
goodnight? As I am quite fond of
him, I wouldn't care, but I don't
want to do anything wrong. How
much do electric Irons cost? Do you
know where I can buy a second
hand one? ANXIOUS READER.
Because his affection lasted two
weeks is no sign that it will be per
manent. If you doubt him, give him
plenty of time to prove himself. ' Be
ing "real affectionate" is no sign of
love. In fact, It is very apt to mean
Just the opposite. If he had a deep
and genuine respect for you the
young man would not tickle you un
der the- chin. The only thing of
which I know such a thing is a sign
is extremely bad manners.
As to marrying before the war is
over, that is something to be decided
according to circumstances. Tou
do not even say whether the young
man is a soldier or not. As a gen
eral rule, I should say, wait until the
war is over, and in your casd you
surely should, as you are not even
sure the young man loves you.
In the meantime do not allow the
liberties you mention; they are not
wrong, but unwtee.
A good electric iron costs about 1 5.

silent story of a son or brother who
has made the supreme sacrifice. But
will folds of crepe and mourning ap
parel be worn by Omaha mothers,
who have sacrificed their sons on the
altar of Freedom?
In England mourning is never
seen and in all probability the
American wives and mothers will
wear only the tiny gold star as an
outward mark of their sorrow.
Omaha matrons who have been thus
bereaved have none of them adopted
the conventional mourning costume
for one seesthem every day, hurry
ing to their many war duties,
gowned in their usual tailored
dresses. Dark colos, to be sure,
but never the sombre black that de
notes sorrow. The depressing ef
fect on others caused by seeing their
friends in deep mourning cannot be
measured in mere words. A well
known Omaha woman whose son
was recently killed in action, over
seas, is not wearing black, neither
does her attractive daughter, who,
before their bereavement, was very
prominent in the affairs of the
younger set.
Still another Omaha mother re
ceived the crushing news not long
ago of her son's death while in the
air service. Shs, too, is adhering to
the request of oar government and
is her usual.'cheeriul self, her beauti
ful little pin with i.'s gold star in a
consnicuous dace o.n her tailored
coat of dark blue, iw a far away
army camp the brilliant son of a
prominent family succumbed to the
deadly disease of pneumocia. and
both his mother and sister have not
altered their mode nor color of dress.
"Back our boys with bonds, not
crepe," seems to be the slogan of all
patriotic women in these sorrowiui
days.
Future Affairs.
Miss Pauline ' Hayward is indeed
a popular visitor for this attractive
Chicago girl is to be honoree at one
or more affairs every day this week.
Miss Eleanor Austin is entertain

Wednesday, and Thursday Miss
Margaret Williams will be hostess
for a luncheon party and we have
hints of a steak roast to be giveta in

For Miss Baum.
Attracted by the beautiful Octo
ber day several of the officers from
Fort Omaha entertained at a de
lightful picnic in , honor of Miss
Katherine Baum, Sunday afternoon.
Six of the younger girls and officers
made up the party, motoring to Elk-
horn Kidge for a picnic supper.
The great harvest moon, twinkling
over the tree tops, found the gay lit
tle party around the huge bon fire,
but, in a very short time the cars
were turned homeward.
Miss Erna Reed entertained in
formally at luncheon in Mijss
Baum's honor at the Omaha club
today. As Miss Esther Wilhelm re
turned to Bellevue College today.
the future affairs for Miss Baum
will have to be given without her

grouncs until tne ban is uttea.

Enough Money in Omaha
for Future Liberty Loans
Captains of the fourth Liberty
loan teams, who met Saturday night
to make hnal reports, ended the
meeting with a discussion of plans
tor the fifth Liberty loan drive.
Nothing has yet come from Wash
ington regarding the fifth loan, but
the country's need of S10-000,000,.
000, between January and July of
1919 makes it :ertain that the drive
will be inaugurated as soon asprac-
ticable alter the New Year.
The reports of the crj.tains Satur

First Car of Nebraska Corn
Grades Exceptionally High
The first carload of new corn of
the -season arrived on the Omaha
market today. It was grown in
Dixon county, Nebraska and was
shipped from Ponca, consigned to
the Holmquist Elevator company
and bought by the i-isher-Koths
childs Grain company1 at $1.47 a
bushel.
The arrival of the car of corn
from Ponca discounts the report
that the quality of the Nebraska
grown cereal is not good. This
shipment graded No. 3, yellow and
was one per cent damaged. The
grade is considered exceptionally
high for new corn.

A complete statement of what
the Red Cross has done for Belgium
is given out today by the war coun
cil of the American Red Cross.
Relief work began in September,
1917. From that time until June
30, 1918, money expended for this
work amounted to $1,432,374. The
appropriation to carry on the work
from that date until December 31,
1918, amounts to $1,947,325. Thus
up to next January 1, Red Cross
will have spent a total of $3,379,699
for work among Belgians.
Soldiers' camtcens were establish
ed as the first important welfare
work. There are today in Belgium
82 canteens with recreation and rest
installations chiefly at or near the
front, which are used daily by ap
proximately 25,000 soldiers.
Among the first things done was
to aid the Belgian Red Cross, which
had four hospitals to support from
a depleted treasury. It completed
a great new hospital by a contribu
tion of 500,000 francs and gave
1,000,000 franqs to the qu'een for the
support of the hospital service.
At the request of the queen, the
American Red Cross also establish
ed a children's hospital near the
front, including a dispensary serv
ice, consultation service, home visit
ing, milk distributing and home and
hospital care by an American chil
dren's specialist and nurses. It also
established a children's colony at
Le Glander for 750 little Belgian
children, and took active work in
supplying children's day nurseries
and baby saving work in France,
free, Belgium, Switzerland and Hol
land, where 15,000 Belgian children
are located.
Mrs. Frank Hamilton, chairman
of Hanscom Park War Relief aux
iliary, was instrumental in getting
many donation for the soup kitchen
in All Saints' c hurch. Two little
girls, Janet Jefferis and Lois Finck,
niece of Mrs. J. G. Jamieson, used
baby buggies in carrying supplies.
National headquarters has or

Red Cross meetings scheduled to
be held Wednesday, October 23,

i Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets
h areaHarmlessSubstitute
' Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets the sub
stitute for calomel are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re
sult of Dr. Edwards's determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to banish it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets.
The pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but hsve no bad after
effects. They don't in jure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take
hold of the trouble and quickly correct it.
Why cure the liver at the expense of the
teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc
with the gums. So do strong liquids. It
is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr.
Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards'
Olive Tablets when you feer"loggy"and
"heavy." Note how they "clear"clouded
brain and how they "perk up" the spirits.
