THE BEE: OMAHA. THURSDAY, MAY 12. 192i. Children's Home, Society Doubles Its Work in State Annual Meeting Shows 692 Little Girls and Boys Giv en Aid Homes Found For 63. More than twice as many children were cared for by the Nebraska Children's Home 'society in 1920-21 as in 1919-20. according to reports which were submitted to officers and trustees at the twenty-eighth annual business meeting of the society held at the Omaha Chamber of Commerce Wednesday. The society cared for 692 little boys and girls by donating food and clothing and giving medical aid. Of this number 63 little ones were placed in homes. While the society had little more than $18,000 to expend last year, this year there was $22,048.12 and the workers in the society traveled 41,629 miles in their work. The society received 208 applica tions for children, each of which was investigated. During the 28 years the society has been functioning, 7,190 children have been placed in homes. Rev. Titus Lowe declared the work of the society in finding homes for children was praiseworthy. . "Or phanages may be able to do a great work for the homeless, but placing a child in a home where he will re ceive love and tender care of his foster parents is better for the child than institutional rearing," he said. Annual reports were made by the following officers: President, F. L. Hallcr; treasurer, F. W. Thomas; state superintendent, Rev. R. B. Ralls, and district superintendents Rev. J. -A. Murray, Lincoln: Rev. iohn W. Thomas, Beatrice; Rev. C. '. Bowen, Omaha; Rev. W. W. Mc Flfresh, Grand Island; Miss Minnie Gillvtrt, Alliance; Miss Mary J. Arm strong, Hastings; Rev. W. B.

Omahan Learns Wife Reported Killed By Bomb in War Is Alive L George J. Schnitcer, 509 North Eighteenth Street, ex-soldier, has just learned that his wife is alive, though since 1914 he has believed her dead. In that year he got word from his former home, Gude lin Sodzias, Russia, that she had been killed when a German bomb was 'dropped in the village. George was released from service in the United States army July 8, 1'iZO, and shortly afterward came , a letter which had "been wandering over the earth in search of him. It was from his wife. Then George sought ways of bringing her here. In seOiring his second naturalization . papers he had given his condition as "single." This complication is being cleared away by assistance from the Amer ican Legion through the State de partment and he expects to be united again with his wife in Omaha before many months.

J. Helphsn. Clothing Co. 314 North 16th St. New Voters Are Good Losers Twenty-Six "Mourners" Celebrate Losing Positions In City Hall Bad Luck Gets Saucy. Ha! Ha! As Girls Hold Banquet. . A number of city hall jobs were buried with appropriate ceremonies last night at the Conant hotel. The "mourners" were 26 girls, all employed at the city hall. They were garbed in solemn black as they sat at the funeral table and they went later to the Brandeis theater where they saw "The Sweetheart Shop." Not a very appropriate way to have a funeral, eh, what? eating and drinking and laughing and going to the show? Well, it was about the merriest fu neral ever staged. These girls, it seems, are very good losers and they went out last night and gave bad luck a slap in the face and a saucy "Ha, ha, ha." They assume most of them that their jobs in city hall have gone 'blooey." And so, prob'Iy, most of them have. For the incoming com missioners have several friends wait ing yea, and clamoring for each and every job. Some of the mournerys of last night, however, have the good for tune to be employed in the depart ments of Dan B. Butler and Harry B. Zimman. And they won't lose their jobs. Louise Shumate, the Titian-haired Secretary to about-to-be-lamented Mayor. Smith, started the song, "Goodbye, Girls, I'm Through," which was joined in by the other sable-robed fair ones with a gusto and laughter quite scandalous at the "funerai" of so many jobs. And then Gertrude Furness sug gested an appropriate toast, bor rowed from the gladiators of an cient Rome: "We who are about to lose our jobs, salute you." And so the game young women marched merrily off to "The Sweet heart Shop," where such things as jobs and city commissioners were forgotten.

Airplane Day Following Spill in Cornfield Near Council Bluffs. Clarence C. Lange, daring air mail pilot who recently returned to the service from a trip to Europe, splashed into a rainsoaked and sub merged cornfield on the southeast outskirts of Council Bluffs Tuesday afternoon, when he was forced to land while piloting a reserve ship from Chicago to Omaha in an at tempted nonstop flight. Visibility became so bad just east of the Bluffs, Lange reported to his chief, William I. Votaw, superin tendent of the Omaha air mail sta tion, that he could see but 50 feet from the ground. Ale was flying low and decided to limd. Craning his neck over the edge of his plane he saw grass. So he decided to take a chance there. But the chance proved against him, for when his wheels struck the earth, they were mired in the-mud made by the recent heavy rains, and the tail of the ship went sailing through the air, landing the plane upside down. Lange escaped uninjured. The plane was not damaged except for a splinter taken from the propeller and slight damages to the body. Lange hopped abroad a train for Chicago the same evening and re turned to the Windy City for another ship which he ilew to Omaha yes terday. Enlarge Fair Facilities. Wahoo, Neb., May 11. (Special.)
