'DRESS-UP' WEEK
NOT CONFINED TO
CLOTHES ALONE
Omaha Merchants Bending
Every Effort to Make Event
Gala Period of Shop
ing for Spring.
The promoters of "dress-up"
week, which will be observed in
Omaha next week, wish to stress
the thought that the spirit of this
nation-wide movement. is not con
fined to wearing apparel.
Buying a new hat, pair of shoes,
suit, dress or other article of wear
will be in line with the occasion.
The Associated Retailers, however,
wish to explain that dress-up week
also includes dressing up the in
terior of homes.
During the period of the war
many husbands and wives postpon
ed the purchase of household fur
nishings which otherwise they would
have obtained. Next "week will be
the particular time to make these
deferred selections. .-
Wifey, for instance, " has I gone
without a buffet for several years
because of the exigencies of war.
She was glad to make the sacrifice.
It will be the patriotic duty of friend
husband to buy her that buffet next
week. Or it may be a set of new
dining room chairs, or a piano for
the daughter who will be graduated
this spring.
An easy chair for the missus or a
new rug for the parlor; some new
dishes to take the place of those
which have become passe, a new
bedstead for the spare room, and
so on, as the case may be.
Merchants are bending every ef
fort to arrange their stocks and
show windows so that prospective
buyers may be interested. It will he
a gala shopping week in the glad
some springtime, and it is believed
that no home is so humble but that
the occupants will be able to
brighten their fireside, according to
their ability.
The Omaha Athletic club will give
a dress-up dinner on Monday night,
from 6 to 8 o'clock, following which
a dance will be held.
. Paid $15 for Her Support.
Mary Fern Bendorf declares in a
petition for divorce, filed yesterday
in district court, that her husband
Frank R. Bendorf, entered the army
and later transferred to another regi
ment under the name of James Brad
ford, so that she was unable to get
an allotment from his wages.
They were married in Omaha in
August, 1917, and she alleges h'e has
contributed only $15 to her support
in their whole married life. She
says he earns $18 a week as stock
man in a down town department
store and that she has been com
pelled to work to support herself
She wants her maiden name, Reed,
restored.
Boys, Who Appear at
CentrarHigh in Old
Clothes, Sent Home
When 50 boy pupils appeared at
Central High school yesterday
dressed like refugees Just in from a
long march, Principal J. G. Masters
sent them all home with instructions
to dn attire which would be more
in keeping with the dignity of Cap
itol Hill,
This is an annual stunt at Cen
tral High. The idea is to appear
at school in old and grotesque
clothes. When 50 eelebrants of the
occasion met at a rendezvous on
the high school grounds in the morn
ing, the other pupils, and even the
teachers, were highly amused.
Some of the boys displayed in
genuity in their sartorial divertise
ment. Principal Masters admitted
that the situation "was provocative
of cachinnations, but he did not
believe that such demonstrations
! served the best interests of the
school, i
The boys were disappointed when
Principal Masters sent them home,
because most of them had worked
hard to make themselves appear
ludicrous and they wanted to amuse
the other pupils and the teachers.
Old Man, Said to Be
Sleepwalker, Found on
Porch in Underwear
When police responded early yes
terday to a burglar call sent in
the central station by Mrs. Emma
Nygaard, 2807 Burt street, they
found Peter Nelson, 70 years old,
clad only in his underwear shivering
on the front porch. He said he was
lost.
Nelson's sister, Mrs. John s Gil
quist, 3011 Webster street, thinks
the aged man walked in his sleep.
Nelson , was taken in charge by
his sister after spending the night
in the matron's department at the
city jail. Mrs. Gilquist brought
clothing for him.
Police said Nelson had narrowly
escaped death when Mrs. Nygaard's
son, awakened by his mother's cries,
fired several shots from an upstairs
window.

ing company's new plant, South

an oil tank steamer here yesterday.
BUSINESS MEN TO
CREATE FUND TO
ADVERTISE LOAN
More Money Will Be Spent in
Advertising V. Loan Than
in Two Other loans
, Combined.
The 'Omaha Victory Liberty loan
committee is a great believer in ad
vertising. It realizes that the
glamor of war is over, and the peo
ple are not sufficiently acquainted
with the necessity of oversubscrib
ing the coming loan.
The committee has deliberately
se out to mold . public opinion
through the printed page. Since the
government will not pay for adver
tising space, a fund is being raised
among the business men of Omaha
to pay for the advertising.
The committee is not asking for
any free space or reduced rates from
Omaha newspapers. It realizes that
advertising space is the stock in
trade of the newspaper, and there is
no more reason why a paper should
give its space away for government
activities any more than clothing
manufacturers should be asked to
donate the uniforms which the sol
diers wear.
Committee of Experts.
The committee realizes that large
space is necessary to impress the
public. As a consequence more
money will be spent in advertising
the Fifth loan than was spent in
the previous two loans combined.
The advertising is in charge of a
committee of experts, who are do
nating their services. If this force
were working under salary it would
cost the Victory loan organization
over $100 a day. The committee has
been at work a month and will serve
through to the end of the campaign.
It will have given 10 weeks' time, or
over $7,000 worth of service, before
its work is completed.
The committee consists of Leo
Boxell, Lloyd Mattson, J. J. Isaac
son, E. T. Swobe, A. A. Hoopingar
ner, Frank Builta, James Hender
son, Sam Rees, H. M". Thomas,
Earle Allen, Earl .Bell, E. J. Berg,
Frank Selby, J. D. Weaver and Ar
thur Thomas'.
