POSTS IN OMAHA
"We Need the Ladies," Unani

tive Board in Urging
. Auxiliary Organization.
' Women are more essential to so
cial life than men, was the verdict
reached at the noonday meeting of
the executive committee of the
American Legion yesterday at the
Hotel Rome. ,
In an effort to stimulate social
activities in the American Legion,
the question of the establishment of
a women's auxiliary in the legion
was mentioned.
"It's the women who start things
humming," E." W. Sears, organizer
of the North Omaha branch post,
declared.
To Have Auxiliary.
"We need ladies," Marry Easton
asserted. "I'll say we do," remarked
Lary Nygaard, toastmaster at the
dinner.
"Them's my sentiments," Capt. C.
Thornhfcrn spoke.
"O. K.," unanimously cheered the
other diners.
Thus it is, that a committee will
attempt to establish a ladies' auxil
iary to the American Legion.
The entertainment committee of
the legion has been authorized to
interest themselves in the possibil
ities of establishing a band com
posed of legion members.
, To Have Military Band.
In the name of Colonel Buck.

eth infantry bandvfor any occasion.
Three representatives of the
Chamber of Commerce were pres
ent at the dinner, and promised their
support in assisting the legion to

MAYOR SMITH, PUTS
OFFICIAL "0. K." ON
GEORGETTE WAISTS
Girl Who Lost Job $ecausc of
"Immodest Dressing" Ap
proved by Executive.
Mayor Smith now believes he
would recognize a georgette waist
if he met one in the street or boule
vard. Miss Tillie Hofmann, 2447 Pink
ney street, accompanied by a youtig
woman friend, called at the mayor's
office yesterday to obtain official ap
proval of her georgette waist which
she asserted caused her dismissal
as elevator conductor at the Union
Pacific headquarters.
The girl explained that Superin
tendent Brown of the building or
dered the elevator girls to wear
white waists and black skirts and
that she spent $4 for the waist, which
she wore when calling of the mayor.
"I want you to look me over and
say whether you believe the super
intendent was justified in discharg
ing me? Do you see anything im
modest about this waist?" she
asked.
The mayor adjusted his spectacles
and quickly voiced his approval of
the waist and disapproval of the man
who dismissed the young woman on
account of the waist. The mavor
even wrote his opinion for Miss Hof
mann. "Let the women wear whatever
they wish when they are at work or
we are in danger of losing their
services," added the mayor as an
afterthought.
Miss Hoffman told the mayor that
she expected to be married next
month and that she wasn't worry
ing so much after all about her job,
but she wanted to be vindicated by
the mayor.

"Mystery Bear" Now
Calls for Recipe
Of New Home Brew
Where is the "mystery bear?"
Fairacres residents still have their
optics peeled for Bruin. Thursday
night passed with no sign of the
bear. Ed Williams', 608 North Sev
enteenth street, iorrner bear hunter
in Montana, hunted for it with a
30.30 automatic rifle. Hugh Langan
paid Ed $5 for not finding Bruin.
Notwithstanding the scare of thj
bear-at-large, Fairacres was peace
ful yesterday. None of the hastily
formed posses was on the job. Goit
ers were playing, nurses tending
babies and coolly-clad women read
ing magazines.
The climax of the furor caused"
by the report of the bear-at-large
was reached today when some cyni
cal scoffs sent the following note to
The Bee:
"Editor of The Bee: Will you
please publish the recipe for the
home brew that holds first place in
the hearts of Fairacres residents?
