T D
OPEN 'HOME FUND'
CAMPAIGN WITH
THRIFT PROGRAM
Novel Savings Accounts to Be
i Inaugurated in Omaha by
Banks and Building
Associations. (
At the suggestion of tne Omahai
Thrift week committee, Omaha
building and loan -associations and
banks have agreed to open and main
tain savings accounts to be known
as "Home Fund", accounts.
The intention is to have owners
flf these accounts operate them spe
cially for buying or building homes.
"Home Fund" accounts may be
opened Tuesday,' January 20, or any
day thereafter. They will be inter
est bearing, and will be maintained
and operated just as any other
savings account.
' "'Home' Fund' accounts will be
the means through which hundreds
of persons in Omaha will become
home owners," says Dexter Buell,
chairman of the Omaha Thrift com
.mittee. "It is impossible to get
J 'a home without an initial payment
fund. The 'Home Fund' account
will create this fund."
Many Already Preparing.
Members of the Thrift commit
tee already know many persons
who are preparing to open "Home
Fund" accounts.
, "Home Fund" accounts can be
withdrawn under the same condi
tions that govern any other savings
account.
There will be no rule requiriifg
that the fund be used specifically
for home buying or building, but it
is believed that practically every
person starting such an account, will
Keep it going for the one purpose
of building or buying a home. It's
growth will be like the growth of
a home, members-of the committee
say.
Home Fund" accounts may be
i started with any sum from $1 up.
Persons opening these accounts
will receive pass books with the
words "Home Fund" written on
them. The accounts willbe carried
on books of financial institutions as
"Home Fund" accounts.
Special Attention to Home Funds.
In the financial institutions there
will be special windows for "Home
Fund" depositors. Printed cards
and other notices will be put up,
calling attention to this new form of
, savings account.
There will be a 6ount made of
the number of "Home Fund" ac
counts opened each week. No fig
ures or names will be made public.
The "Home Fund" account pro
gram is entirely new. It has never
been undertaken in any city in the
United States.
However, Byron R., Hasting., a
member of the thrift committee, last
week showed the plan to a group of
business men meeting in Chicago.
Several of them said they would in
augurate it in their cities.
Advertising for the "Home Fund"
program will be done by varied in-

In these days of prohibition, new uses for water are being discovered
every day. Dorothy Gish is shown above demonstrating an indoor sport
that, it is said, has taken the place of cocktail-sipping in society circles
this season. It is called "blowing bubbles," a handsome prize usually
being awarded to the, person producing the largest and finest colored glo
bule. The Astorbilts and Van Morgans are all "hitting the pipe" this year.
Being the 'champion lady "bubble blower" of the Pacific coast, it's no
wonder that Miss Gish is just bubbling over with pep in her new Para-mount-Artcraft
picture, "Mary Ellen Comes to Town."
"infests of Omaha interested in the
project of getting more home own
ers in Omaha. Names of those pay
ing far the advertising will not be
used because they want all the bene
fit to go to the "Home Fund" idea.
Would Make Statuettes
From Ashes of Great Men
London, Jan. 17. "The ashes of
tHe great men ofi every nation
shouldr after cremation, be used for
making tiny statuettes of these men
and they should be used in the na
tional museum of the great dead."
Such is the startling proposal of
Dr. P. S. G. Dubash. By such a
method every nation would come to
have its Westminster Abbey and its
Hall of Fame.
Returns From Wedding to
Find New Home in Ruins
Boomer, W. Va., Jan. 17. Mr. and

Pays $3,000 for Nine Kegs
Of Missouri River Water
St. Joseph, Mo., Jan. 17. Al T.
Hussar, a local saloonkeeper, paid
$3,000 here the other day for nnie
kegs of Missouri river water.
According . to Hussar's story to
the police, he bought the liquid from
a stranger, but not until he had
tested it and found it worth the
money.
However. Hussar "sampled" the
"wet" goods through a rubber tube,
one end of which was supposed to
extend into each of the kegs in
turn, and the "sampling" occurred
in a dark, secret cellar. Hussar now
holds the belief that the tube led to
a flask in the stranger's pocket.
No trace of the river water sales
man has been found by the police.

is asked: "Did you ring?"
6:32 p. m. Returns to income tax.

explaining no reason for so doing.

8- 9 p. m. Dinner.
9- 10 p. m. Income tax.
10- 11 p. m. Cook and butler re

of opinion and will remain on in his
service.
lip. m. Goes to bed.
11:30 p. m. Butler visits him to
say that he and cook have decided
to get married and they both give
notice.
12 midnight-7:30 a. tn. Dreams
of income tax, butler and cook.
I returned to London on my motor-cycle.
On the way I had a punc
ture ... a crowd collected and
watched my struggle for an hour .
.' . but that, as Mr. Kipling say:,
is another story.

behind planes equipped with motors
are propiised by a noted European
