Thrift Not Parsimony.
The Thrift Week committee
wishes to emphasize the statement
that thrift does not mean parsimony
;tnd that. the lesson to be learned
during the campaign is not that of
saving every cent possible, but
rather that of spending money judi
ciously, getting the worth of the
money s;ent and making use of
that which is purchased. -"
"During the war everyone saved
some part of their earnings," sayj
the committee. "Since the close oi
the war a reaction has taken plae
and there is a regular orgy of buy
ing. So far. that is ill right. Legiti
mate purchasing, evert legitimate
i.peculation, is healthy and promotes
business. But the country is getting
dangerously near to a -period of
'wild catting,' in which 'phony' stock
concerns, backed 'by unscrupulous
people, will play a very prominent
par?.
"The Thrift Week campaign -s
not to ask or teach people to deny
themselves the necessities, nor even
the luxuries, but to warn them,
against wild and unwise specula
tion, against spending more than
their legitimate income and against
the tendency to live altogether in
'the present without regard for the
futilre.
GIRL FROM HAREM
THINKS NEW YORK"
PART OFP ARADISE
Former Mohammedan Slave
Meets Brother in Gotham
IJnable to Smile.-
New York, Jan.3. Broken in
health and bearing on her right
thumb the red tattoo mark identify
ing her as a Mohammedan slave,
Vartanousch Karagheusian, ' a 20-year-old
Armenian girl, spent today
in the company of her brother, John
!. Karagheusian; a rug dealer of
Minneapolis, whoni'she had not seen
in 12 years. She is the first to reach
America of the victims of the Turk
ish deportations of -1915-16, when
thousands of Armenian and Syrian
women were driven from their
homes to Aleppo. She arrived in
this country a few' days ago with
Marshall Ingalls Mays of Topeka,
Kas., a Near East Relief worker.
Theaters, automobile rides, pretty
clothes and all the comforts of one
ur me cuys mggest noteis nave
failed to bring a smile to the girl's
lips. When she met her brother she
broke into a fit of hysterical weep
ing, and despite his efforts to amuse
her, the veil of sadness remains. -Thinks
She's in Heaven.
"She does not realize she is in
New York," her brother said. "She
thinks she is in heaven."
Her digestive organs have been
seriously impaired by her privations
jvhile in the hands of the Turks and
her diet consists, wholly of liquid
food with small bits of bread.
Miss Karagheusian was driven
from her home with all her rela
tives in 1915. From July until Octo
ber they were kept on the road by
brutal Turkish guards. Their only
food was vegetation found in the
fields along the way.
One by one the refugees dropped
by the wayside. Her mother was the
first to KO and died in her arm Sh
alone of the family survived the hor
rors of the march! Throueh the brln
I of a girl friends the captive found
work in a Turkish hospital at the
Zahleh has and ' she nursed the
wounded there for Several months.
When the British captured Jerusa
lem she made her escape ' to the
British lines. -
Arranges for Relief.
While working in a soup kitchen
she .met Armenians in the Krencn
army who had visited America and
knew her orother. The soldiers im
mediately communicated with the
rug dealer who enlisted 'the suDoort
of the Near East Relief, and ar
ranged for the girl's transportation
to this country. She will be sent to
school in Minneapolis.
Mrs. Araxie Hatchigian, almost
penniless widow of, an Armenian
college professor slain by the Tu.'ks
arrived here today with her tw"s
children 2 and 10 years old, in search
of "Mrs. Hagopian," a school teacher
in California. She supposed Califor

Girls a la Carte,"
Elaborate Menu for
Patrons of Gayety
Old Man Johnson is dishing up
a banquet to patrons this week that
shames the best chefs of the world,
in "Girls a'la Carte." Six courses
are provided , giving burlesque lov
ers the tidbits of the year. "Man
hattan, Please," is the name given
on the menu for the feast of sweet
ness and fun.
A delicious dessert is given in the
person of Miss Martha Pryor, a
former Omaha girl, and. queen of
the vampires. She has a beautiful
voice and the elaborate wardrobe
provides her ample opportunity to
show her natural beauty to best ad
vantage. ' . The "chicken" chorus cannot help
-1ut please. All kinds are offered,
country style, southern style, etc.
, This assembly is unquestionably the
most beautiful and most elaborately
gowned dancing chorus seen this
year.
',- A combination salad, Tina Bel
mont and Madeline Moore, sing and
dance in a' number of feature acts.
Ben B. Byrbm and pretty Leona
Earl dance cave man -stuff and ev
erything. Miss Eatt has a well
.trained voice and was a distinct hit
leading the chorus. -
"Jamie" Coughlin, the funmaker
who placed Sioux City on the map,
is improving with age. His antics
with Harry Bently and Byroin kept
the laughter at a high pitch. Thfc
trio- of laugh provokers added the
jep and seasoning to the banquet.
The stage settings are deserving
of comment, especially a cabaret
scene v where the 'entrance of the
principals and chorus is responsible
for continuous "ohs" and "ahs" from
the feminine'section of the audience
as-the magnificent display of wear
k ing apparel comes into view.
General Pershing Not Able
To Visit Picture Show Here
: General- Pershing wilt not have
time to attnd moving pictures
while in Omaha January 6. This
" fact was definitely settled "when a
telegraphed invitation to the 'gen
eral to see "Soldiers of Fortune" at
the Sun theater was refused.
The telegram was sent to "Gen
eral" Pershing, the greatest soldier
of fortune."
The reply from the general stated
that1ie appreciated the invitation,
but that he would have to withhold
acceptance unless municipal authori
ties made arrangements in nts already-crowded
program that he
might attend. -

Are Our Women Slipping?
. Is the standard of conduct of the ma jority Jeing
lowered?
Is becoming "pals" with their brothers under
mining their morals? Can they withstand "sterner"
temptations? ,
Has woman's beneficent influence waned- with the war? Were her
self-effacing endeavors a flectisg. phenomena of an unusual emergency?
Does the "average" woman really care more for froth, frills and fop
pery than affairs of the hearth, head and heart?
Is he lessened respect shown them by men compared to that
paid to their mothers prove the daughters less worthy? Does the
fair sex no longer inspire courtesy, reverence and devotion? Is the
race to be popular and clever snuffing out the ideals of our girlhood?
"The hand that rocks the cradle rocks the world," 'twas said.
Bt a maid, today, takes care of the children while mother plays
at bridge. "My Wandering Boy," in maidens' eyes, a hero is, his
virtuous brothers raise cynic's sneers. It was not" so when dad wis
young. ' " ,
Why the Change Today?
Young men once were wont to worship, women called them fair
ies, angels, queens. Now they term them-"chickens," vampires, sports.
Once regarded as superiors, they have now become man's equals, with
the "right" to ape his vices.
Sweethearts used to plead with lovers pledging them to give up
wild oats. But today that girl's "old maidish" who herself has never
smoked, tasted cocktails, told questionable stories, seen risque plays,
or bet on the races!
Modesty was deemed a feminine virtue. Then why all this hub
bub about indecent apparel? Why should pope, cardinal, school heads,
employers, club women, welfare workers, need to score their own sis
ters for their negligee costumes and the display of their persons?
Discussion Invited,
v ,Wc have thought women religious given them credit for being
more spiritual. Yet' they new lead bands of crooks, "try anything once,"
and of all the church movements of history (like founding the many
sects of Christendom), only one was begun by a woman. Why is it?
W'ere our forefathers misquided knightly gallants? " Are women'
fallen angelsor four-flushers? Is their new freedom hurting them?,
Are they deaf to the pleadings of conscience and God, care no longer
for beauty of soul? Or have they grown to loath chivalry and sham,
hence lay undue stress on reality? ARE THEY SLIPPING? Tell us.

What County Clerk Dewey char
acterized as "a political squabble"
developed in the meeting of the
county commissioners yesterday aft
ernoon over a motion to raise the
salary of George Hill, chief of the
tax department of the coufny cleik's
office, to $175 a month. He is now
getting $155.
The motion was about' to go
through with a rush, Commissioners
Compton and Unitt having already
voted for it, when Commissioner
O'Connor arose and asked that the
motion be postponed until the next
meeting.
Clerk's Salary Raised.
"The legislature raised Mr.
Pewey's salary at the last session,"
he said, "end I don't see why he
should now expect this board to
raise the salary of one of his men for
doing the work that he himself is
expected to do. I think we ought to
get the county attoney's opinion
whether we've the right to raise this
salary or not.".
Mr. Compton was immediately on
his feet demandinsr that the vote go
on. Mr. McDonald joined Mr. O'Con-
nor in ine opmion uiai a icqucai w
put over a motion till a later meet'ng
must be granted.
If vou gentlemen win agree to
pass this motion at the next meeting
I will agree to let it go over, was
Mr-. Compton's odd proposition.
"Well," said Commissioner Mc
Donald, "I intended to pass on this
motion, but if that is the. attitude I
will vote no."
"And I." said Commissioner Unitt,
"probably would vote tor it if it
were allowed to go over to nexi
meeting, but it it is torcea at mis
session 1 shall pass.
Earning $4,000 Salary.
Commissioners O'Connor and
McDonald voted no, Commissions
Compton voted aye, and Commis
sioners Veble and Unitt passed. The
motion was lost. Mr. Dewey de
clared the motion will come up
again-at the next meeting and will
carry.
"Mr. Hill is doing about $4,000
worth of work a year and he, should
have,' had a good salary increase
long' ago," he said. "It is not a
salary fixed by statute, and the move
against it was just a political
squabble.
"Mr. O'Connor talks about me be
ing expected to do that work. I
am no more expected to do it than
O'Connor is expected to go out and
grade the county roads."
