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.

ton, Rev. Thur Jacobsen, Dr. Frank

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.

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.

Landing in Mud
Fails to Shake
Nerve of Pilot
Clarence Lange Brings Back!
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.
