Miss Thomas explained the state ment by saying that a large number of Omaha boys went through Dijon and that of course they all boosted Omaha. She was stationed at the larger of the two canteens which were located near one of the largest railroad centers in France. Ap proximately nine-tenths of the A. E. F. passed through Dijon at some time while they were overseas. i cnty-five workers were in charge of the canteen. There were also 32 servants who were mostly Russian men and French women. The Russians were prisoners of war, but' were most willing to help iu every way and were very depend able. Dormitories which cared for 600 men were .a part of the canteen as was the bath house which boasted 20 howers. Miss Thomas says that although she worked constantly she may say with all sincerity that she never spent a weary moment over seas.' " The day the peace was signed, which was also her birthday, Miss Thomas was in Paris. She spent the afternoon at the Peshing Stadium and says that it was the most wonderful event she has ever witnessed. When the winner went out into the center of the stadium everyone surged forward cheering and the colors of all the allied na tions seemed to form a huge banner which waved at his triumph. Seven airplanes then came swooping over head, circling lower and lower until they made a huge circle over the Stadium, and then swept off into the blue sky. The canteen was closed on June 1 and as womjn workers were not allowed to return on transports at that lime. Miss Thomas was given leave. Sh made several trips into southern France, visiting Nice, Bel gium, Verdun, Rhcims and portions of the front. f Miss Thomas returned on the transport Antigone. She will teach at Central High school during the coming year. Pre-Nuptial Affair.

Nurse Who Walked From Seattle ' to New York Spent Only $23. - Syracuse, Aug. 25. -"Silk" stock ings made from wood fiber, sawdust, sausage casings and wood flour photiograph records will be among the exhibits of forest products that will be made by the New Yirk Sfc'c College of Forestry at the slite fair to be held in this city. The forestry display is part of a campaign to educate the people to the necessity of preventing waste of the forestareas of the state. 1 The so-called "silk" hose have the appearance' of real silk an J are of the same texture. Officials say 'they are much cheaper than the genuine. article. The biggest revolution in the use of wood, perhaps, is to be. found in the substitution of sawdust for sau sage casings instead of the old type produced as a by-product of the slaughter house. The wood is con verted by a chemical process into viscose, making a good substitute, it is said. ' The merry' phonograph with its endless music also comes in for at tention of the college scientists. By making a food flour and compress ing it under enormous pressure the wood is made into a fitting instru ment in the process of turning saw dust into music. , Other articles' made from wood are tanbark shingles manufactured frrm tanbark after it has heen usrd in a tannery, and paper milk bottles also made from wood. Paper bottles, it is said, will greatly decrease the need for glass bottles. These unusual commercial articles are made from what was one.' wastu- of the sawmill, and their display is part of the campaign of the New Voik College of Forestry to show how close utilisation of wood will help to cheapen articles cf com merce, and at tiie, same time end the enormous waste1 that haj accom panied lumberif operations. Allah Has deprived me Of many a gift The, gifts we most desire Beauty and grace One goal of theace Were forgotten As I came through The skies. No silver spoon No ivy covered Or humble cot There never were cuvi Upon my brow To frame two eyes Of midnight blue. There was never A lyrical note In my throat No Willoy "lines" To sway with the grace Of a reed. No heart that craved For the mighty rich Nor for the praise Of the crowd. My hands And my sight ' Go wrong on art The dainty birch leaf From under my pen Resembles a waving palm And yet My Creator Remembered one thing In His task Of assembling me One thing more precious Than all the rest That which has kept me Alive for the fight He gave me One priceless talent A keen hunger For ever A larger Life To enjoy with people To suffer with people To reach their Heights and depths Is a special gift From God.

At an early age she was taken to see a bull fight in Portugal. Her feminine suscepti bilities, far from revolting at the spectacle, were aroused to a keen desire and determinaton to emulatie the prowess of the bull fighter. Af ter a course of training she made her first appearance in the arena at Oporto. The trial proved that her ability and skill were1 equal to her courage, for she quickly laid out two ferocious bulls and rode off in tri umph amid thunders of applause.
