Need Girls Who Speak Czecho-Slovak , In a recent issue of the Official Lnited States Bulletin, published daily in Washington, is the follow ing appeal to girls who speak the Czecho-SlovakJanguage. It should be especially interesting to Nebras ka, which has the widest distribu-' tion of people of Czecho-Slovak ori gin of any state in the union. "To help in reconstruction work among the Czecho-Slovaks, Poles, and Russian peoples, theAmerican Red Cross is training groups of young women who speak the lani guage of these countries. The Red Cross will recruit and train these ycung women, in co-operation with the war' work council of the Young Women's Christian association, and existing reconstruction committees. "Thai the need for such units is great is shown by the fact that in the Czech army of 70,000 men there 'are about 20 doctQrs and perhaps 30 nurses. , Plans are now being made for the establishment of three hos pitals in Bohemia. Forty American nurses are to be sent there from the far east at once, and a recent cable from Russia asks that Czecho slovak, Polish or Russian aides, i thoroughly qualified and with Amer ican ideals, be sent to supplement the work of the American nurses."

WAR PUZZLES My Hat Diary BY Carita'Herzog II V s Hal Howard is engaged to Mme. La Selle. What do you knowabout that? She is a charming little French lady who is in America under the auspices of the French .Orphan organization. She was at Mrs. Van Covers Red Cross affair the other eve and wore a stunning hat. It was a large black velvet picture hat. One side was wider than the other, which gave it a very attractive effect. A bunch of black silk tassels hung oijer at the side. Mme. La Selle wore her hat rather far over her face and it certainly made a wonderful background for her lovely black eyes. (PecgT at the county fair rescues a Gypsy baby from under the feet of run away horses. Tlrzah, queen of the.Gypsles, takes her to a tent, whers Peggy is as tonished lo find Billy Belgium, disguised as a Gypsy ' CHAPTER III. ' Under the Spell. PEGGY, startled as she was to find Billy Belgium in the Gypsy camp,' was glad to see that he was not in actual pain, his moan ing evidently coming only- from troubled dreams. "Billy 1 Wake upl'Sihe whispered. Billy was very sound asleep and only grunted. Creeping into the compartment, Peggy shook him by the shoulder. ' With a snort Billy sat up and looked wildly at her. "It's only me! Peggy!" she whis pered, noticing the glare in his eyes. "Peggyl" he murmured. "Princess Peggy, beautiful, wonderful, glori ous ruler of Birdland. Have you come to journey with me in this marvelous kingdom of enchant ment?" "I've come to try to save you," answered Peggy,, wondering if he had a fever and was delirious, he talked so queerly: "What are you doing here?" "I am living the life of the free, I am walking the paths of delight," was the strange reply. "You, too, Princess Peggy, shall live the life of the free; you, too, shall walk the paths of delight," said a voice behind her. Peggy turned quickly to find that a curtain had been drawn back, re vealing another compartment in the tent, where "sat Tirzah, the Gypsy queen, facing her across a small ta ble. On the table stood a large crystal globe, which glowed with changing colors. Peggy felt her eyes drawn to the globe with a fas cination she could not resist. "Look deep, deep into the crystal," came the voice of Tirzah, in sooth ing tones. "There you shall find the Gypsy charm, There you shall come under the sway of the spirit of romance romance which gilds the world, and turns dull existence into a mad whirl of excited joy." Peggy could see no harm in look-, ing into the pretty globe, and so let her gaze remain fixed 'on it. But soon she felt that she was coming under a spell. Her mind was no longer free to do what she wished. She couldn't turn her eyes from the mystic crystal. She was a prisoner a prisoner, not alone in body, but also in thought and will. Her body felt numb and her head whirled. Then abruptly this feeling passed. Her mind cleared, her body seemed electrified with fresh snap and vigor, and she felt free freer than she had ever been all her life; free of all re straints, free of all duties, free to just laugh and sing and play, re gardless of anything save her own selfish pleasure. "Drink deep of care-free joy," softly spoke Tirzah, smiling at her. "Drink deep, now, for tomorrow holds pain and sorrow and death." "Come with me, we-will see to gether the wonders of this realm of enchantment." It was Billy Bel gium who spoke. He took Peggy by the hand, and out they raced into the open air. Peggy's heart seemed on fire with happiness. Her spirits rose high, bursting forth in laughter she could not control. She wanted to run and to frolic. And the Gypsy camp seemed transformed. Where only an hour before the tents had been splotchy daubs of color and the vans were overgaudy, now they assumed the richness 6f a king's royal equip ment. The tents were pavilions of silk. The vans were gorgeous chariots. And the Gypsies themselves were changed. Where they had appeared a swarthy and even dirty crew, clad in shoddy, flashy clothes, now they were bronzed and handsome knights and ladies garbed in satin and furs. Billy Belgium's rags had become princely raiment. Even the half-naked children had turned into splendid young nymphs with rich but scafity raiment. And they played 'with a wild zest that was contagious. In a moment Peggy found herself swept with Bil)y into a dance so frenzied that Mf would have frightened her had the strange Gypy charm not so completely freed her of fear. She knew she was undfj- a mad spell, but a strange ef- 4 I I 1 I T&uNeedLess SugarWhen is your table beverage The natural flayor of "this family "table drink is close ly , like excellent coffee.

YESTERDAY'S ANSWER Upsi'le down nose at right Ireast feet of the spell was that she didn't care what happened not even when a warning voice called out to her from the gathering darkness;, "Princess Peggy! Princess Peggy, beware the Gypsy charm! Princess Peggy! Princess Peggy, such madness brings sad harm." (Tomorrow's chapter tells of a strange night with the Gypsy caravan.)

Moist Air in Our Housesfi The average person is more sus ceptible to disease in the winter than in the summer because they live unde. more artificial conditions. Our modern houses are overheated, especially our apartment houses. This year niy find cooler air in our r.oms than usual because of the cost i " fuel and the need for its con servation, but the average winter brings overheated-house air in its train. Moisture in Heated Air. One of the worst qualities of hot air in our houses is its dry quality. Air at different temperatures can hold different amounts of moisture. The amount of moisture in air com pared with the amount of air at that temperature can hold is called the relative humidity". When the rela tive humidity is low, the air feels parched and dry. What we call "balmy" air is air with a rather high relative humidity. In our houses the winter air from out of doors that enters has a ycertain amount of moisture in it. As the air is heated, the moisture content stays thesame but the relative humidity goes down because heated air can hold more moisture than cool air. Hence the need arises of introducing more moisture into the air of our rooms. Devices for Supplying Moisture. In a room heated by a stove, this additional moisture may be fur nished by a pan of water kept on the back of the stove. The water heats steam is formed, and enters the a'r. Any furnace has a water' box at the- side. As the air is heated, it passes over this bt-: end takes up more moisture. Unfortunately these boxes do not hold a sufficient vol ume of water to produce moist air, ar I sometimes we even forget to keep them filled. There are, how ever certain types of modern fur naces v.liich have very large water boxes. These furnaces are said to furnish warm" air of a delightful quality. '"' With hot water or steam heat, there is usually no provision for evaporation of water unless a pan of water is kept on each radiator. Specially constructed pans may be purchased which fit on the radiator. But any open dish of water near the 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.

The effect of dry air on furniture is noticeable. It draws out the moisture from the wood, causing the vanish to crack or check. It also has a similar effect on our bodies. The moisture is actually taken from theody tissues, as witness the dry feeling of skin and the parched lips of a hot dry atmosphere. In su'-h a condition, our systems are below normal in resistance vpower, and hence we are especially liable to succumb to any disease which we might ordinarily .resist. Birth Announcements. Daughters were born Sunday to Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Rullman and Mr. and Mrs. Thonfas J. O'Connor at the Stewart maternity hospital. A son was born to Dr. and Mrs. O. C.
