Carmichael has resigned her oftice as chairman of auxiliaries for Omaha Red Cross chapter after 19 months of continued war work activity. Mrs. Carmichael instituted the public workshop in the Keeline building; made a distinct success of it and was then named to succeed Mrs. Charles T. Kountze as head of auxiliaries. Mrs. Carmichael's health and home now demand attention, this loyal worker gives as her reasons. It is probable that no successor will be named for this pfnee as most of the auxiliaries, especially those for surgical dressings are disbanding. Mrs. Arthur Mullen, chairman of hospital garments, will give atten tion to all requests or questions at Masonic temple. Mrs. W. I. Walker, chairman of the French section, announces a large quota of surgical dressings to be completed at once. All workers are asked to meet in the Baird building Wednesday and Thursday, from 10 a. m., to 5 p. m. The call is urgtnt. There is a growing feeling that no more Red Cross workers will be re cruited for overseas worfe This is the sentiment expressed in letters to Omahans from girls who are in New York now awaiting sailing orders. Miss Laura Crandall, who is at the Martha Washington, the Red Cross women's headquarters, writes that gossip about the hotel is that the women there now arc to be the last contingent. Mrs. C. T. Kountze had a letter to the same effect from Mrs. W. S. Rowe, who went from here. No definite information has yet VE 3 EJiiel ly Irma H Gross HOUSEHOLD ARTS HBPT CENTFA2.

We like our cream soups, and in general we make them well We make soup stock occasionally and serve it with crackers, or pos sibly with barley, rice or noodles. The European cook is much more versatile in the garnishing for meat soups. She appreciates barley, rice and noodles, especially noodles; but she has in addition numbers of delicious little balls which she in ti educes into her soups. These balls require time for pre paration and many of them require eggs, but a well-garnished soup will eke out an otherwise "slim" dinner. Trv it some time and see.

Wellesley College Women Institute Recreation Huts For Red Cross Distinctly novel in idea are the Red Cross recreation huts main tained in connection with all base hospitals in France. Miss Clare Her mansen, the first girl from Omaha recruited for this branch of the serv ice, for which college girls are es pecially adapted, has not yet arrived overseas but an interesting account of the kind of work she will do is given by Wellesley college girls, five of whom maintain such a hut at base hospital No. 22, near Bor deaux. With the termination of the war the tremendous task of reconstruc tion in- France and Belgium looms larger than ever and the need for trained workers becomes more im perative. To help in meeting this need Wellesley women expect to send seven new members the latter part of this month to join their unit already in France. All of the seven are experienced social workers, who can speak French and drive a motor car. "The hut Is one-storied, of tar paper and wood, a,nd looks quite uninviting from without. Our auditorium is perhaps 30 feet wide by 75 long. The boys have stained it brown even to the rafters, the benches and the tables. We have it brlBhtened by chintz curtains at the win dows, by the gay posters on the wall and by a few blue and rod tables si'iittered anions the chairs. There are always flowers and the boys do like them, even though they would not h:ive told you so before the war. In one corner is our library, a favorite spot, and our bulle tin board that we try to change every day or two, adillne a ouw cartoon or poem. "The decoration that we are fondest of Is our Wellesley banner, which we have placed on the wall back of the stage.

Judson, state director, who has gone to Washington for an important meeting with national officials. VHAT DO SOLDIERS READ? Tliprp is as much diversity in the books read by our soldiers in camp . . . , e as in those read by men outsiae 01 camp possibly more. The most ob vious demand is for books' on mili tary sciences. The American Li brary association library at Camp McArthur, Tex., keeps a stock of over 100 copies of "Moss' Infantry Drill Regulations." and the supply is even then often short. Fiction is popular, with the books written by Zane Grey in the lead. One man came into the library to make his will and found help in "Parson's Law of Business." The camp has much-used collec tions of books in Yiddish, Spanish, French, Roumanian, Modern Greek, Italian, Russian and Polish. One bright young Pole told Librarian Joy Morgan recently that his wife and two children' were in that part of Poland invaded by Germany. He had not heard from them since the beginning of the war, and had en listed in the hope of helping to free Poland. "My father told me that some day there must be a free Poland. Do your part," he added. The first ecclesiastical convoca tion in America was a synod espe cially convened to sit in judgment upon the religious views of Mistress Anne Hutchinson, who demanded that the same rights of individual judgment upon religious questions should be accorded to woman which the Reformation had already secured The dominion premier has re ceived from a group of Calgary women a resolution requesting the appointment of a woman to assist and advise him on behalf of Canad ian womanhood at the peace conference.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: We are a bunch of high school girls and are anxious to have "something going on" at high school so that we can have some good times. But our high school is really the deadest place. There are only about 12 of us girls who are near the same age, and as for the boys, there are only two or three. The college girls are going to have dances about every two weeks for the S. A. T. C. up there, but do not intend to have us high school girls come, although we do not know why. However, the S. A. T. C. boys want us to come to the dances, for they know most of us, and besides, there are three times as many S. A. T. C. boys as there are college girls. The High school signed a contract to rent the gymnasium, at the col lege (that's where the dances are given), and It's to be lighted and heated twice a week just for the high school. We thought we might get together and give a dance for the S. A. T. C. about once in two weeks, Inviting the college girls, too. If they cared to come. Do you think we could have the gym in that way, and who should we consult about it? HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS. Such dances as you suggest w6uld be very enjoyable, I should think. I would consult the school authorities about the use of the gymnasium. Have several of your mothers act as patronesses for the parties. (Billy Belgium gtvea Peggy an Imag ination Stone, which he flnda in the head of a fish. With it she can turn persons, animals or birds Into anything she wishes.) CHAPTER III Peggy Drops the Stone PEGGY wondered what the re peated warning against the Imagination Stone could mean. So far she could see only fun in its workings. She djdn't have time to worry over it, for just theen Tom, her cat, whizzed by like a streak. After him, going full tilt, was Frisker, the Air dale from next door. Chasing Tom was Frisker's favorite sport. Now he was rushing along with eyes gleaming and jaws opened in a hun gry grin. He was happy because he was sure he could catch Tom before the cat could scoot up the big oak tree for which he was making. Peggy thrilled with fear for the safety of her pet. Oh, I wish Tom were a dog big enough to fight Frisker,' she ex claimed. In an instant Tom vanished. In his place stood a bristling, snarling Airedale, who seemed just aching for a good, lively fight. Frisker stopped so short that he slid along on his braced hind legs. He was the most astonished dog in the world. Gleefully chasing a cat. and having that cat abruptly change into a healthy, aggressive-looking dog was enough to take anybody's breath away. But Frisker was no coward. It was fun to chase a cat, but it was just as much fun for an Airedale to right another Airedale. So Frisker swallowed his surprise and set him self to do battle. Growling savage ly he hurled himself at - Tom's throat. Quick as he was to-act, Peggy was quicker. She wasn't going to let Tom be torn to pieces in a dog fight. While Frisker was in midair, her mind flashed the wish that he would turn into a cat. No sooner wished than done. Frisker, leaping into the face of this fiercely snarling stranger, found himself turned from a big, powerful dog into a soft, furrycat. Frisker was more astonished than before Likewise he was scared. He was no match now for those hungry jaws opened to receive him. Frisker couldn't stop, but he did the next best thing to save himself. He gave Tom's nose a swift scratch with a sharp claw, and before Tom could recover from the shock, he darted for the oak tree. Tom, angered by the quick pain of the scratch, leaped after him. Frisk er flashed up the tree just in time to escape the dog's snapping jaws. His rush threw the two squirrels, Perky and Jerky, into a panic. They ran far out on a limb and leaped to the roof of the porch, from which point of safety they chattered their indig nation. ,To Billy Belgium the changing of Tom into a dog and Frisker into a cat was the biggest kind of a joke. He laughed and laughed, stopping only when two mean-faced old men. who were passing by, halted "to scowl at him. "There are tlrfrse cruel money lenders, the Sharp brothers," he whispered to Peggy. "Don't they look like rats?" The same thought struck Teggy. who had heard much of the hard ways of the old men. "I guess they are rats at heart," she whispered back, and as soon as she said it, there were two big, re rocious, gray rats on the sidewalk. Quick as a wink the rats darted toward Billy and Peggy. And just as quickly Billy and Peggy darted up the steps and into the porch swing. Peggy, drawing herself as far away from the rats as she could, thought of a way to gVt out of this awkward situation. She would change the rats into rabbits. Quickly she made the wish. But something had gone wrong with the charm. The rats stayed rats. Then Peggy discovered that in her alarm she had dropped the Imagination Stone. There it was beyond reach at the bottom of the steps. Unless she had it in her hand her wishes would be in vain. Before she could tell Billy Bel gium what had happened, there came a flash up the steps, and the rats fled in wild fear. It was Tom. and, like any Airedale, he was even more keen for rats than for cats. Up one post of the porch went the rats, chased by Tom. and down another came the squirrels, Perky and Jerky. Peggy leaped from the swing to secure the Imagination Stone. BeT fore she could reach it, Perky grabbed it in his month. As he did so, Perky changed into a boy as much like Billy as a twin. And Jerky turned into a girl as much like Pcpgy as a twin. At the some time Billy and Peggy found themselves shrinking. Looking at each other they discovered they had become squirrels. (Tomorrow will be told how Teggy and Billy find their fun growing serious.) rates for women workers for the whole of England and Wales. OF INTEREST TO WOMEN. Women physicians are not numer ous in Japan, but some of them have been eminently successful. The first woman to take part in stage plays in England was a Mrs. Marshall, who appeared at Drury Lane in 1663. Cafeteria work, manicuring and shampooing are among the many trades that girls may learn in the New York public schools. Mrs. Ballington Booth of the Vol unteers of America has gone over seas to spend the witner with the American soldiers in France. The largest of the women's trade unions in Great Britain is the N tional Federation of Women Work, ers, which has a membership of 50,000.
