ditions in several leading cities on
cleaners or scouring powders brought
to light a condition which startled
the investigators.
Of course, anyone familiar with the
sale of cleansers in the central west
ern states knows that Kitchen Klen
zer far outsells most other brands,
but this investigation not only
showed Kitchen Klenzer to be the
big seller in Chicago, but from what
the dealers and buyers say the vol
ume of business is so great that it
really has no competitor in many
other rnidwert cities.
From a sale of a few cans a day
10 years ago, and from a position at
the'bottom of long list of cleansers,
Kitchen Klenzer has gradually
vva.4. tmfil tnAiT if- ftrrnni.6 first
ivwit uuut I'inj vwv.v.- ... im
position by a big majority in the cen
tral western states, where the manu
facturers, Fitzpatrick & Bros., con
fined their sales efforts. Moreover,
it holds second position in the entire
United States.
Often, especially in the early days,
it took considerable courage to stand
for quality and refuse to meet com
petitive prices, but the manufacturer
knew that there is no article made in
the world, but what someone can
make it a little lower. They figured
' here was nothing in a business bmlt
on a price basis, so they stuck for
quality and waited for thr.t day when
the housewife, who carries the des
tinies of all manufacturers in her
hand, gave her indorsement and
finally she did indorse Kitchen
Klenzer. And as the product was
featured in publicity, it became
standard in the minds of the public
and as the sales grew this recogni
tion of a standard product more and
more prompted the manufacturer
to greater efforts 'n quality, uni
formity and fair dealing.
Newspapers wre cted
one medium to be used and for 10
years each year's appropriation , ...
confined entirely to newspapers, and
so in the building of that greatest of
all assets good will newspapers
must be credited with 100 per cent
of Kitchen Klenzer's success.
The peculiar feature ot ;..s adver
tising is that from 'the start only one
style of layouts has ever been used,
and only once in 10 years hrs the size
of the ads been changed. Always
the same size (with only one excep
tion) and always the same general
type strong white on black. So
consistently has this style been fol
lowed that this class of advertising
is often referred to as Kitchen
Klenzer style. Perhaps the most re
markable instance of stick-to-itive-r.ess
in the advertising world is the
nianufacturer's policy of continuing
indefinitely its schedule in the papers
selected to carry that publicity.

Latest novelty in washing ma

washes and drys without a wringer.
It is being placed on the market
by Charles E. Wagner, 1916 Harney
street, and is part of a complete as
sembly of household units designed
to lighten the burden of the house
wife. According to Mr. Wagner, the
finest fabrics can be washed without
injury to the fabric and the heaviest
clothing can be washed without in

Girls Scorn Housework
While Jobs Go Begging
'Fault of Housewife," As
gerts Miss Bessie
Stearns of Welfare
Board's Employment
Bureau for Women.
"Why girls leave kitchens" or,
more properly, why they won't en
ter 'em, is the subject of a book
Miss Bessie Stearns threatens to
write.
Miss Stearns is in charge of the
women's free employment bureau in
the city hall, run by the public
welfare board.
The girls in question are girls
who seek employment there.
Dearth of Help.
Despite "hard times" and lack of
jobs and the fact that great numbers
of office and factory girls were
thrown out of ebployment in the last
few weeks, it is equally true that the
dearth of household help is just as
great as it ever has been, members
of the welfare board brought out at
their last meeting Tuesday night.
J. Clarke Coit opened the discus
sion by inquring why $12 per week
and board and room jobs went beg
ging, while a long line of girls and
women stood for hours in the city
hall, daily, waiting for Miss Stearns
to find them an office or factory job
at perhaps $5 per week.
Fault of. Girls.
"It's the fault of the silly girls.
They've got a wrong caste notion,"
offered Dr. Harry Foster, member of
the board, in explanation.
"It's the housewife's fault," said
Miss Stearns, who is pretty close to
the situation.
"They treat the maids we send out
Notables to Attend
Delta Tau Meeting
Henry Wallace and Governor
Allen of Kansas on List of
Visitors to Convention.
Henry Wallace, secretaary of agri
culture;" Henry J. Allen, governor of
Kansas; A. J. Hopkins, senator from
Illinois; Frank White, United States
treasurer; Ben Ames Williams, well
known writer, and Bruce Bieleski,
New York, national president, are
among the notables who will attend
the 46th biennial karenea of the Delta
Tau Delta and the second meeting
of the body ever held west of Chi
cago, which opens in Omaha August
25, continuing until August 27.
Headquarters will be at the Fonte
nelle. Aside from these men who are
known nationally, prominent men of
Omaha and Nebraska are in the
ranks of the Delta Taus.
A. J. Weaver and Adam Mc
Mullen, who are spoken of as likely
candidates for governor in the next
election, were chums and members
of the "fraternity at Lincoln. Hugh
A. Myers, president of the Omaha
Bar association, is president of the
Omaha chapter. Paul Bradley is sec
retary. The karenea was brought to Oma
ha through the fame of Ak-Sar-Ben
and the work of the Omaha chapter
and the Nebraska university alumni.
The program includes a smoker at
the University club; a "Den" show
and picnic at Fontenelle park.

Woman Hurt In
Fall From Porch
Mrs. H. W. Cowduroy, 115 Park
avenue, lies in Ford hospital with a
scalp wound and several fractured
ribs received yesterday when she
fell from the second-story back porch
of her home.
Mrs. Cowduroy was drying her
hair. A woman called to her from
below. She leaned out over the rail
ing of the porch to hear what the
woman wanted and the railing gave
way, precipitating her to the ground.
Hospital attendants said her condi
tion is critical because of possible in
ternal injuries.
Kiwanis Clubs to Hold
District Convention Here
The district convention of all
Kiwanis clubs of Iowa and Nebras
ka, and all officials, is to be held at
the Rome hotel September 15-16.
There will be a two-day session in
cluding social events. The annual
election of officers will also take
place.
The Omaha Kiwanis club will re
sume activities Friday noon, Sep
tember 2, at the Rome hotel. In
order to qualify, according to Presi
dent. H. W. Bubb, all members are
expected to be at the opening meeting.

like dirt under their feet. Work
them long hours, give them no liber
ties and treat them like inferiors."
Interviews Girls.
A Bee reporter interviewed several
girls applying for stenographic jobs
none of which were available that
day.
"Wouldn't you rather work in a
homer they were asked.
"Indeed not, I spent a lot of
money learning stenography. Why
should I give it up?" replied one.
"My mother wouldn't let me do
it. She would be horrified if I went
to work in someone's kitchen," re
plied a second.
Couldn't Do Housework.
"I couldn't do housework; I don't
know the first thing about it," re
plied a supercilious miss, polishing
her nails.
"I know I would earn more
money and have a better home, but
well, I just wouldn't like to be a
maid," replied another.
And so on down the line.
Miss Stearns has another inter
esting observation to make. It is
that when girls do decide to make
the change, it is the office girl who
will go into a home quicker than
the factory girl.
Spoiled for Housework.
"The factory girl, the foreigner
especially, is entirely spoiled for
household work. She thinks it's be
neath her. The office girl who has
had a hard time making both ends
meet and who appreciates a good
home is intelligent enough to see
the advantages in housework," said
Miss Stearns.
Dr. Foster is dead set against the
anti-kitchen girl.
"Every girl who can get other
occupation should come out of the
factory where is taking some man's
job and do the housework. She
ought to be willing to give up her
factory job while hundreds of men
are out of work entirely heads of
families, some of them."
He emphasized the great number
of women employed at big salaries
in the packing houses.
Steinway
Instrument of the Immortals.
UPON hearing a btein
way for the first
5S5 time, Richard Wag
Bnss ner wrote: "Our
early tone masters, in writing
the grandest of their creations
for the pianoforte, seem to
have had a presentiment of
this, the ideal piano." Hap
pily, the Steinway was born
in time to inspire the im
mortal Richard, and to be
divinely played and truly
loved by Franz Liszt. Happily,
too, it is still here to voice the
art of that most gifted and
brilliant of pianists, Paderew
ski, and to bless the playing of
Rachmaninoff and Hofmann.
And happily again, it will live
on to be played by future
masters and to minister to all
people who love great music.
