THE BEE: OMAHA. TUESDAY. APRIL 8, 1919. South Side WOMEN GIVE UP PLAGES TO BOYS BACK FROM WAR Forces in Packing Houses Are Cut, But Former Sol- diers Given Preference in Employment. More than 900 employes, many of tliem women, have been released by the South Omaha packing houses in the last two weeks, according to figures made public by the packers t the request of the Federal Em ployment bureau. The figures show that 11,000 men and women were on the payroll of the five packing houses. There are bout 10,100 men now employed. Decreased hog receipts coupled with the withdrawal of government orders has forced the packing com pany to cut down their force. The Cudahy Packing company hit made the greatest decrease in the number of its employes. About two weeka ago a force of 3,250 men and women were employed. The monthly report, ending March 31, hows 2,050 employes working in the various departments. Morris & Co.. which rmnlnvd about 1,582 people two weeks ago, now retain 1,490. This plant now employs 2,450 people. The Armour force is diminished by about 250 employes. Many women, who held men's po sitions during the period of the war, are being discharged to make room for returning soldiers.

According to Mr. Withey, repre sentatives of the Chicago, Kansas City, St. Joseph and Sioux City ex changes will probably be present at the hearing.

This kind of rough talk will be heard less here in town If people troubled with corns will fol low the simple advice of this Cincin nati authority, who claims that a few dropa of a drug called freezon, when applied to a tender, aching corn, stops soreness at once, and toon the corn dries up and lifts right out without pain. A delightful sur prise awaits all who try this. He says freezone is a sticky sub stance which dries immediately and never inflames or even irritates the surrounding tissues or skin. A quar ter of an ounee of freezone which will cost very .little at any drug store, is said to be sufficient to re- Eove every hard or soft corn or cal s from one's feet.

OFFERING J FOR TODAY " MARGARITA FISHER in "Put Up Your Hands' will be the attraction, at the Sun theater today and tomorrow in a stirring comedy drama. It is 1 a typical Fisher vehicle. In the role of Olive Barton, the very much-up-to-date daughter of a capitalist, she brings to bear the wealth of talent and charm which -is in her possession. Her flashing eyes and cheery smile and general "something" desqribed Dy tne critics as "turn presence, gives her an exceedingly pleasing appearance on the screen. The basic story from which "Bol shevism on Trial" was fabricated, is contained in Thomas Dixon's novel, "Comrades," but the story has been adapted and developed to meet the present international situation. The story that is told on the screen is an intensely human and thrilling drama of Americans of the average type. ( . Robert Harron and Lillian Gish will not be seen as opposite leads in the Griffith pictures now in course of production. These players have appeared together in more Griffith pictures than any other two people and have been with Mr. Griffith for nearly seven years. George Walsh has taken up trav eling again. Although he returned recently from Miami, Fla., after having made "Never Say Quit," he left New York again this week for Palm Beach to film scenes for a new picture, which has its locale in the famous southern resort. By this time George knows all the con ductors between New York and Jacksonville by their first names. Screen rights to "Every Woman," the well-known stage play on moral ity have been obtained by the Famous-Players Lasky company. Irene Castle will appear next in Robert W. Chambers famous story, "The Firing Line," under the ban ner of the Paramount-Artcraft. After a six weeks' vacation, in which he made a tour of the United States visiting the leading play houses, Eddie Polo is once more in the cinema harness. His first pro duction is temporarily titled "A Prisoner for Lite," a two-reel west ern drama, under Jack Dillon's di rection. Eileen Sedgwick, Harry DeMore, Harry Todd and Pat Moore are in Polo's supporting cast. Douglas Fairbank's newest is "The Knickerbocker Buckaroo." v Hale Hamilton hands the palm for nerve to the man who stopped him on the street in Hollywood the other day and asked him for a match.

"It's a big undertaking for Doug las county," said Major Frith, "but the government, as well as the pub lic should have lists whereby in the future as well as now, names will be kept."

That's the least real test of a good shirt. A. ''pretty pattern' merely means that the maker has chosen a handsome cloth.
