Parents who bid sons goodby
when they left for Chicago this

andxMrs. Henry Meyer?. 3046 Mere
dUh avenue:
I see by the Omaha Sunday Bee
'lUit vnii have a voillIZ SOU wllO has
volunteered for "Red Cross ambu
lance work overseas. 1 am a stran
ger but I have just returned from
spending two weeks at Chicago,
near Camp Scott and ten days at
Sound Beach, Conn., the last camp
before the boys sail.
Put in Tents First.
"My nephew is in the Red Cross
y service and I resolved that if the
opportunity ever presented itself.
I would tell some boy's mother of
the splendid care and equipment the
hoys receive at Camp Scott and
Sound Beach.
"Your boy on entering camp at
Chicago will probably he given
quarters in a tent, the new ones, or
company always arc.
"See that he has warm underwear
md socks and a sweater. They re
ceive a uniform, shoes, hat and ov
ercoat on entering but do not re
ceive full equipment until the day
they leave Chicago. The week be
fore leaving they become Company
A and are moved into barracks in
the main building. If you are fa
miliar with Chicago, I need only
tell you that the American Red
Cross Camp Scott is now what was
formerly the San Souci amusement
Dark, and, more recently, the "Win
:cr Garden."
"The meals are fine. Good break
fast, . 'light lunch,' big dinner at I
light, in a splendid dining room
vith good service.
No Roughnecks!.
' "The boys range In age from 16
lo 50. No roughs or tough charac
ters can get in, for everyone must
furnish references from prominent
persons.
"For overseas epuipment the boys
receive a U. S. army officer's locker,
much like a small steamer trunk,
containing. 6 winter and 6 summer
suits of underwear and socks
(right here let me say that the
socks are not Red Cross knitted
and arc very light weight, as is also
ihc underwear), 6 winter and 6 sum
? mer shirts, 2 new pair of shoes, 1
rubber coat, 1 rubber helmet, 1 pair
of hip-length rubber boots, 2 new
uniforms, 2 overseas caps, 2 wool
.blankets, 2 complete comfort kits
. wl 1 heavy knitted Red Cross
i sweater. .
"Knitted helmets are not issued,
many mothers furnished those.
Handkerchiefs are not supplied,
either.
Inn Now Camp.
, "Camp King, at Sound Beach, is
' 'Ye Old Greenwich Inn," a wonder
fully picturesque summer resort ho-
. tel, directly on the sound in Con
necticut. It is leased by the Red
Cross.
"If all the mothers who are not
nk1 tn vUif tlipi ramns could
know how well their boys are
looked after, they would not worry;
4 so, if you know other mothers who
are sending sons, please tell them
the things I have written you.
"If all people knew the wonder
ful work of the Red Cross they
would never hesitate to help in
work or subscriptions."

FEDERAL POWER, ITS GROWTH AND
NECESSITY. By Henry Litchfield
West. George II. Doran Company, f 1.60.
Against a historical background,
Mr. West makes clear the gradual
centralization of government from
the time of the first federalist party,
through the cataclysm of the civil
war which had the question of
states' rights for its primary issue,
down to the present day. A discus
sion of federal power as a political
issue and as a military necessity
leads up to a prediction of the fu
ture which, considering the author's
historical and political training, must
be regarded as a serious contribu
tion to the literature of political
science.

tion of the Lusitania, upon the part
attempted by the German govern
ment in the presidential election of
1916, upon the kaiser's own idea that
"America shall pay the bills for this
war," and upon the thousand and
or.e vital questions to which Ameri
cans want answers.

Paris, Oct. 31. (Havas.) The

comprising Spanish and Dutch rep
resentatives in Brussel's, had been
formed to investigate the devasta
tion in the zone of the German re
treat. The truth is, the statement
declares, that the ministers of Spain
and Holland undertook a trip to
investigate the condition of the
French civilian population that had
been removed from the evacuated
districts.
Women Who Fly
Women's part in winning the
war is not so much in doing
men's work in flying in front
of the lines as it is in war
service work here at home.
You arc confronted now by
graver and harder duties. You,
as mothers, wives and sisters,
are called upon to face the
separation from all that is
most dear to you. The war
must be won not less by women
than by the fighting men. The
influence of women is felt
everywhere on the battle
field, in the hospital: and
amongst the producers at
home. Women rJl ever the
world realize) more and more
that their work at home will
help the men at the Front
There is an important factor
which has to be carefully ob
served to make the great work
women are doing success
ful. Nobody, man or woman,
can do good work when health
is impaired.
The greatest boon to woman
kind is a tonio made up ol
herbs, which makes weak
women strong and sick women

There's a new idea of "service" in business now; it's been in
operation here for some time. To us war-time "service" means
this: To urge that you buy only the clothes you need; when
you do buy to give you the quality that saves because it last
long; to gladly refunded your money if we fail to satisfy you.
The Best Clothes
Are the Cheapest
The main thing to consider isn't "How much do they
cost?" but "How much do I get for the money?" Good
clothes cost more this fall than they did a year ago (every
thing else does, too), but Quality is worth more to you to
day than ever before. It's YOUR duty to buy clothes (if
you must buy any) which save labor and materials because
they wear and last long; it's OUR duty to see that you get
such clothes. Now, then
