The New Shade tfenna
TERHAPS . the predominat
J ing note in the peace
celebration was the sea of
red, white and blue. Old Glory
was more in evidence than ever be
fore, but it remained for the feminine
celebrants to devise new and novel
ideas for wearing the patriotic col
ors. Women in the afternon parade
were not content with just pinning
knots of the colors on their coats,
but wore scarfs around their shoul
ders and twined folds of the gay
bunting around their hats. A group
of girls in suits of red, white and
blue paraded in the evening, carry
ing torches and banners.
Mr. Frank Judson, who has long
held the distinction of being one of
the best dancers in Omaha, influ
enced by particularly alluring jaz
zy tune, played by a passing band,
seized a pretty girl who happened
to be standing near him and began
a lively one-step on the sidewalk.
Canteen workers in the parade had
much trouble in forming in the pre
scribed lines of eight, and to keep"
proper marching order was impossi
ble. At times the pressing crowds
closed in so completely on the fair
patriots in their blue veils that they
were forced to walk single file. But
march they did, blowing popular airs
on their tin whistles and making all
the noise possible.

Henna is beautful when combined
with Blue serge. Henna silk floss
embroiders this gown of blue serge
on the front panel of the blouse,
which extends into a blizzard-proof
collar, buttoned high about the ears,
with henna-colored buttons of some
dutlfinish composition. These high
collars threaten to become a leading
feature on the wintet gowns, but it
is to be hoped that they will be
more of a fad than a necessity. The
deep cufj of this waist are embroid
ered in cnna. Worn with a hat of
black ve'.vet or with a henna beaver
tarn this costume will be most effective.
Red Cross Work Will Go
on Except Surgical
Dressings
Will Red Cross work rooms e
closed now that peace has come
This important question on every
loyal worker's lips Monday will be
answered Thursday at . meeting. of
chairmen and supervisors of all
Red Cross hospital garments and
surgical dressings departments. The
meeting will be held in the Y. W.
C. A. auditorium at 9;30 a. m.
Those who know say that the sur
gical dressings work will probably
be abandoned because Red Cross
warehouses are filled wit1' enough
surgical dressings to supi future
demand for some time to come ot
men already wounded.
Efforts in hospital garments work,
however, will no doubt be doubled
to fill demands for refugee -garments
and for the reconstruction period.
Women of the surgical dressings
auxiliaries will be asked to help in
the hospital garments work.
Mrs. F. W. Carmichael, chairman
of auxiliares. has made a special
plea for all workers to attend this'
important meeting, when plans lor
future work will be outlined.
Contrary to information that has
ben given out, it is NOT possible
to send Christmas packets to men in
the American expeditionary forces
UNLESS a coupon has been re
ceived from overseas. This rule is
unchanged and it is not possible for
friends or relatives of men in mili
tary service connected with the
American expeditionary forces to
send packets unless they are in re
rfint nf the rniinon that has been
issued by the War department. IN
FORMATION iu lHt CON
TRARY IS UNFOUNDED.
It IS possible to forward a Christ
mas packet of the same size and
weight as those sent to the men in
the American expeditionary forces
to men and women connected with
such organizations as the Y. M. C.
A., Knights of Columbus, etc., who
are working with the military or
ganizations in the expeditionary
forces: tirovidine the individual de
siring to send the packet will appear
in person and make amdavit to the
affect Jhat they are the nearest liv
ing relative and is ,the only one to
their knowlrrfpp that . is cninir to
send a Christmas packet to that in
dividual.
Men in the Canadian or allied
forces may also receive Christmas
packets under this rule.
The government still wants fruit
pits and nut shells. The Red Cross'
will collect from schools. Small do
nations may be left at Red Cross
headquarters in the court house.

Peace and the Food
Conservation
As I write these words peace rs in
the air. With the natural feeling of
elation that comes wjith glad tidings,
there comes also a feeling that we
can relax our war time efforts and
economies. We have been saving
food to win the war; if the war is
won, have we not accomplished our
object? Thus many of us will rea
son. In a sense, there is some logic
to such reasoning. But it is not
far-reaching logic.
Immediate Effect of Peace,
Whether the nation is at war or at
peace, the 1918 crops are harvested.
No international situation will put
one more bushel of wheat into the
world than there is at present; nor
one. more pound of meat or sugar.
World peace will, however, release
for European and American con
sumption vast stores of food from
the far comers of the earth, stores
that have been bottled up during
the great war. At 'the same time
world peace will open enormous
markets for food in long-starved
Austria and. Germany. The New
York Globe, quoted in the Literary
Digest, inajes this statement, and
adds the scriptural injunction "If
thine enemy hunger, feed him."
However, one may feel about feed
ing the enemy countries, there can
be no difference of opinion as to sup
plying with food those parts of
Belgium and France that have been
held by Germany during the last
four years. Russia, too, is facing a
great food famine. No, we shall not
have fewer mouths to feed when
peace comes.
The 1918 Crops.
Most of us have felt rather com
placent about the vast stores of food
produced this year by the United
States. As a matter of fact we have
increased in certain lines, but lost
ground in others. The greatest in
crease has come in wheat produc
tion, where the need was greatest;
hence the situation is really better
than in 1917. Yet we have a marked
decrease in corn, oats and potatoes.
Our complacency is not well
founded. End of the Food Administration.
My readers probably recollect
that the food administration was es
tablished for the v duration of the
war. With the coming of peace
we shall need new government ma
chinery for handling the national
food supply; for it is unthinkable
that .foodstuffs shall be turned over
to the tender mercies of the food
Co-Operation
Miss Gross will be very glad to
receive suggestions for the home
economics column or to answer,
as far as she is able, any Ques
tions that her readers may ask.

speculators during the early difficult
reconstruction days. No need to de
scribe what would happen. But in
all probability, we shall be left
more to our wn devices in the con
sumption of food, which means
that the individual conscience must
be more alive than ever; that we
must voluntarily limit ourselves to
our fair share of food, even if our
pocketbook can get some one else's
share for us as well.
The Immediate Step.
Everyone realizes that the period
of convalescence following a serious
illness is a time requiring just as
great care and watchfulness as the
period of illness itself. Just'so, the
period after an international .dis
turbance is one requiring sacrifice
for the common good, just as is the
period of war itself. The only fair
and patriotic way for a housewife
to welcome peace in her kitchen is
to say, "I will follow my wartime
program o.f food conservation with
renewed watchfulness until my gov
ernment says that the food situa
tion is greatly improved which
statement cannot possibly come un
til after the harvest of 1919." But
every housewife can also say with
thankfulness in her heart, "At this
time next year, if all is well, I can
relax my vigilance somewhat; and at
this time the year after, I can re
lax my vigilance still more; and I
can look forward to the day when
war food problems shall be no
more."
DREAMLAND
ADVENTURE
By DADDY
"The Haunted School"
(The Birds take Peggy and Billy Bel
gium on a fun adventure, which lands
them tn school. Billy Belgium, to scare
the Birds, says the school la haunted.)
CHAPTER III.
Peggy Becomes Teacher.
BLUE HERON made such a
queer looking teacher that
Peggy giggled. But the ef
fect on the Birds was entirely differ
ent. They didn't seem to like his
assumption of authority.
"I'm going to be teacher because
I'm the smartest," declared General
Swallow.
"I'm going to be 'cause I can
scold the loudest," shrieked Blue
Jay. '
"I look the wisest," hooted Judge
Owl. "
"I have the sweetest voice,"
warbled Mr. Canary.
"I'm the most demure," whispered
Miss Wren.
"I'm the best looking," cried Bob
Olink.
"I can rap loudest on the desk,"
screamed Reddy Woodpecker.
"I know the most about catching
grasshoppers," declared Bob White.
The school was in a perfect up
roar. Every Bird wanted to be
teacher. Peggy saw only one way
of settling it.
"I'll be teacher," she said.
"Fine I" chorused the Birds.
"Princess Peggy will be our teacher
because she is the smartest; she
can scold the loudest; she is the
wisest; has the sweetest voice; is
the most demure; the prettiest, can
rap the loudest. and knows the most
about catching grasshoppers."
"You will all find seats," she or
dered. The Birds at once perched
on the backs of the desks.
"What do you do in school be
sides sitting around," asked Judge
Owl.
iff 'MAfol
'T LOOK THE WISEST." HOOT
ED JUDGE OWL.
"Why, you study and learn
things," explained Peggy.
"How do you learn things?" de
manded Blue Heron.
"Why, from books," answered
Peggy. i
"That seems stupid of me," re
plied Blue Heron. "The best way
to learn fishing is to go out and
fish."
"But you don't study fishing in
schools," argued Peggy. "You
learn how to read and write and do
sums and about history and geog
raphy anT all that." ,
"Why do you learn all that truck,"
persisted Blue Heron.
"So you can earn a good living
and enjoy the things of life, and
make the world better, and be some
body," answered Peggy.
"I get a good living catching fish,
and I enjoy eating 'em," said Blue
Heron. "If you don't teach fishing
in school there's no sense in my be
ing here."
"When are you going to call the
class in finding worms in the
ground,' asked Mrs. Robin. ,
"If school can teach me a way to
catch more mice and insects. I'm
ready to learn," hooted Judge Owl.
"School doesn't teach such
things," Peggy had to admit.
"Then school is silly and a big
waste of time," declared Judge Owl.
"I don't blame Billy Belgium for
being glad to get out."
Peggy didn't know what to say.
I This point of view was strange to
her. But Billy Belgium, who had
been listening eagerly, now came
unexpectedly to her aid,
"Say, I've learned a lot in Peggy's
school. I've learned that each per
son has to learn that which wilt be
most useful to him in life, and the
more things useful he learns the bet
ter off he will be. To Blue Heron
and King Fisher the most useful
thing is to know how to catch his
food. It's the same way with all
you Birds; all you need to know is
how to get what you eat, to build
your nests and to protect your
selves from harm. If that's all I
learned I wouldn't be any better
than a wild man. I could eat and
live, but I couldn't have a nice
house; I couldn't have good clothes;
I couldn't have an automobile: I
couldn't go to shows; I couldn't
read; I couldn't have all the things
that make this life so wonderful. I've
learned my lesson right here, I'm
going to pitch in and work in school
after this so I can make as much as
possible of myself."
"That sounds like sense," hooted
Judge Owl. "We birds don't have
to learn much because life isn't very
big for us, but boys and girls have
to learn a whole lot because life hat
so much for them."
Peggy was goin on with the
school session, when suddenly a
queer noise came from the attic
above them. There was a sob,
"Sh-h-hl" and the sound of some
one moving. Instantly the school
room became silent as the Birds
listened intently.
"Is the school really haunted?"
whispered Billy Belgium.
(Tomorrow the mystery at tht sohool
becomes deeper.)
Names and Pictures Mixed.
When one is as beloved and as
well known, as Miss Louise Pinning,
the mistake of placing her name un
der the wrong photograph brings
V
numerous calls. A beautiful picture
of this Red Cross nurse appeared In
the rotogravure section of The Sun
day Bee, but due to an error the
name of Miss Mabel Salmon, an
overseas canteen worker, appeared
beneath the picture of Miss Dinning,
and vice versa. Friends have called
Mrs. R. J. Dinning inquiring about
the mistake, and many others have
called The Bee office.
