He was discussing “Municipal Art.” “Clean up your slums,” he urged. “The slum is entirely unnecessary in your city. What a beautiful place could be made of Omaha with com- garalively little expense. You need need parks and places to gather and see and meet each other, “Until you want these things you will never have them. And until you | § have them you will never be a great city. ['ve seen Minneapolis and other cities no older than Omaha develop ahead of Omaha in these things, while at the same /time; I've seen Omaha, my old home'city, lying still with dirt accumulating. “Why don’t you get together and realize what Omaha means to you, if not also to the United States?" The speaker complained again of the lack of appréciation of the early heroes of this section, in that none of them are immortalized in-statues on the big buildings in this section. “The great men who have made this com- monwealth you've forgutten,” he said. “You've forgotten most of them, and one might almést say, you don’t even care for them.” Detailed Reason For the Advance In Pflc_e of Bread Waghington, Oct. 13.—The extent ofj increase in the price of bread or dJcrenc in’ weight of loaves during the four months from May 15 to September 15, is detailéd in figures from forty-five of the country's prin- cipal industrial centers, made public today by the Bureau of Labor sta- tistics, Bal in reports to the bu- asons the increased of materials and ingredients, es- weights have been most numerous luring the last stwo_months, which the figures cover. \ Of 210 brands of bread that re- tailed for 5 cents and weighed fifteen ounces or over May 15, only fourteen rethained at the same -price and weight September 15, Comparative figures on wheat and flour gives the retail prices of bread and show that in September the wholesale price of wheat was 31 per cent greater September 15 than lg 15; the wholesale price~of flour 37 per cent higher; the retail price 23 per cent higher for the same period and the average retail price of bread 11 per cent. highes. In May, flour was $548 a barrel wholesale and $7.62 retail, leaving a margin of $2.14 to cover transporta- tion, retailer's expenses and profits, usually jobbers’ expenses and profits between the mill and the retailer. In September the margin was $1.90 a barrel. The retail price of bread per pound before baking in May was $056, in September, $.062. he wholesale price of 1045 ounces of flour in one ound of bread before baking, assum- ing 300 loaves to the barrel, in May was $.018, in September, $.025, In May the wholesale value of 10.45 ounces of flour was 18 cents; the average retail price for sixteen ounces of bread, before baking being 5.6 cents, making a margin of 3.8 cents between the wholesale price of flour in & sixteen-ounce loaf of dough and the retail of the sale loaf baked. The margin figures do not include the cost of retailing and the retailer's profits.

SERVISS. “T have read In a book that the blue of the ocean Is due to the reflection of ‘the sky color on & clear day, and that when the water looks green it Is because It Is shallow ard the sun rays are reflected from the ttom. This does not satisfy me, I have seen the ocean on @ bright day and on another occasion on a very dull day, off Cu Hatteras, where the Guilf Stream passeg’ through the cold waters of the Atlantie, and on both occasions the surface was divided into two colors—a bright blue and a dark green. The division was sharp, almost, as a knife-cut, though it was not a straight line, but the contrast of calors was the same when the sky was blue as when it was covered. WIIl gou enlighten me?~J, J. M." The blue of the ocean is not due to reflection from the sky. Pure water itself is blue, as can be proved by looking through a long tube filled with it. On a bright day the inten- sity -of the blue color of the ocean may be accentuated by sky reflection, but the color remains when the sky is clouded. Where the ocean appears green, as near coasts or over banks, the phe- nomenon is not due to reffection from e bottom, but to impurities in the water. These impurities have a pre- vailing yellowish color, which mixed with the blue, transmitted from the water beneath, produces green. When there are no noticeable impurities near the surface the light that is re- flected back from a considerable depth shows only the blue of the water, the other colors being ab- sorbed. ¢ Any perfectly blue water will ap- pear_blue if the depth| from which the light is reflected is sufficiently reat. But shallow water does not ook blue because the light must pass through a considerable depth of water before the yellow elements of the spectrum are absorbed. The gray- ish or, slate-colored, hue of the ocean when its surface is disturbed by the wind is due to-the intermixture of various reflected rays;, and rays that have not pendtrated much below the surface. The phenomenon of color contrast which you noticed at the edge of the Gulf stream is familiar to many ocean travelers. The line of division is usu- ally not quite so sharp as you describe it, but the change from green to blue as the Gulf stream is entered is re- markably abrupt, and no doubt arises from the relative purity of the warm, salt water of the. stream. At the same time it would appear that there are cases in which some eculiar quality of the water may af- ect the color, although, as far as I Color Beneath the Sea am~aware, no analysis has shown this ta be a fact. The {_akc of Geneva, or Lake Leman, which is the wash basin of the River Rhone, is world famous for the exquisite blue of its waters. The Lake of Constance, which may similagly be called the wash basin of the River Rhine, is celebrated for its beautiful green hue. 5 In the Kandersteg valley, Switzer- land, is a little lake, or pond, which travelers over the Gemmi pass turn aside to see, whose water is of an indigo blue, so intense that one is tempted to au;pe?t that it has been artificially colored as a bait for tour- ists. A marvelous proof that water is really blue has been furnished by nature in the celebrated Blue grotto of Capri. When you have been rowed intp that wonderful cavern in the Bay of Naples, passing through a small opening in the rock, where, if the wind blows toward the shore, you must stodp almost to the gunwales to keep your head from contact with the roof of the passage, you find yourself floating under a great natural dome, with water fifty feet deep beneath you and the atmosphere steeped in blue so brilliant and vivid that you might imagine yourself to be breathing.a transparent azure vapor instead of ordinary - air. The magnificent color is due to the fact that the greater part of the light inthe cavern has to come rhrough the deep water at the entrance, where the agcrturc in the rocks, narrow and low above the surface, widens as it de- scends. The bright sunlight striking the bay outside penetrates the pure water and enters the cavern far below the surface, afd when it emerges with- in the hidden chamber all but the blue rays have been abstracted. The more transparent the water if the depth be great the darker be- tomes the color, until sometimes it appears almost black. The best ex- periments to determing the depth to w‘l?h daylight penetrates in water h&Ve been based upon photography. The eastern Mediterranean seems to be the most transparent body of water -yet experimented with. Photo- graphic plates exposed there at a depth of 328 fathoms, or 1968 feet, showed the effects/of light. But this was blue light, which specially af- fects a photographic film and the eye ph“rfdl at the same depth would prob- ably ination, When the genius of war, having de- veloped the submarine, as it is able to do regardless of expense, hands over the invention to the more useful but less prodigal genius of science, we shall learn many marvelous things, now only guessed at concerning the world beneath the sea level. ave perceived no trace of illum- |\ THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1916. Notes : Woman's Work : Household Topics Many Ways for Women to Win Success By DOROTHY DIX. A few days ago I wrote an article for this column urging parents to have their daughters taught some gainful occupation whereby they could earn their own bread and but- ter if ‘it ever became necessary for them to do so. ‘This has brought forth hundreds of letters from fathers and mothers who ask: “What trade or profession wm‘ld you'advise us to have our dayghters taught? A boy can study law, medi- cine, dentistry, etc,, but what can a girl do?” Broadly speaking, a girl can follow almost any career in these days that her brother can. The door of oppor- tunity is pretty widely open to wo- {ment is the limit of their ability: There are famous women lawyers and doctors and there are also lady| ‘steamboat captains, lady longshore- men and at least one feminine steeple- jack. In the face of what women are doing in Europe at the present mo- ment, _where they are raising the crops, making munitions, driving am- bulances, doing police duty, running the street railways and motor busses, there don't seem to be many things that a woman can’t 4G if she sets her hand to it and puts her mind on it Woman's sphere has grown as large as_the universe. Personally, however, I believe in letter. If a pert dressmaker, or milliner, or cook, or nurse, or kindergartner. If a girl has a mechanical bent and is particularly deft with her fingers, a trade school will teach her a hundred different ways to make a good living. If a girl is apt at figures, give her a course in a good business college. There is plenty of room in the busi- ness world for expert bookkeepers and cashiers. If a girl has had a good education and if she knows how to spell, ste- nography offers an unlimited field, for even as the housewife goes about searching for the jewel of a cook who can get up a meal without as- sistance, so does the business man go | about looking for the paragon of a | men and the limit of their achieve-stenographer who can take dictation without making forty mistakes to the When either treasure is found | her employer stands ready with a fat pay envgope. rl has the commercial in- stinct—and plenty of eirls are horn traders—Ilet her go and serve her ap- prenticeship as a clerk in some busi- ness she wants to follow and thern open up her own little shop. One of the most prosperous sub- ! urban stores around New York is | kept by two charming women of my | acquaintance, and I know a young girl now at college, with a passion for old mahogany, who is studying period furniture, and fitting herself to open up an antique shop as soon as she is through school. Philanthropy, social settlement work, athletics, dancing—there are millions of things a girl can learn to do by which she can earn her own living. It doesn't matter which she chooses. The only thing that mat- ters is how well she learns to do it. Success in any line simply means | turning out an expert job. And fail- ure means turning out a poor job. And this is true for both men and women.

Let a girl choose any of the occu- pations that belong to her sex, and do it 8o well that she raises it to an art or 4 science, and she is sure of fame and fortune as her reward. | Clothes, food, shelter, nursing— there will never come a time when these four elemental needs of human- ity will be adequately supplied. There will always be women and men will- ing to pay lavishly for beautiful hats and gowns, for superlative cooking, for well kept lodgings and for skill- ful ‘attendance upon them when they are sick. Every dressmaker who has even an artistic sehse grows rich. Women striij g!e with one another to pay $50 for f worth of material if it is cun- ningly put together by a mas‘er hand in a hat. There are a dozen chefs in thig city who get ten thousand a year, and any half-way sort of a cook that can make gravy can get from $35 to $40 a month with her board and prequis- ites. Every well run boarding house where they sweep under the beds and give fairly decent food has a long waiting list. A good trained nurse can make as much as a physician. These facts being self-evident, it follows that no girl can make a miis- take who chooses either one of these professions, according to her bent. If she.is handy with the needle, send our daughter to one (f the various schools of design and let her learn dress designing or millinery, so that when she starts. forth on her career shé will be able to turn out crea- tions and get the price of creations, instead of turning out sartorial hor- rors| that no ong will be willing to Nf for at any 1}>‘r|ce. | If your daughter has a taste for cooking, send her to one of the do- megtic science schools, where she will learn every branch of the art of cookery and housewifery, how to kéep a budget, what cuts of meat to buy, how to balance rations and |, 50 on. Thus she will be equipped to go into a kitchen, to run a bozrding house profitably, to take a place in a hotel, or to teach domestic sccience and. it is said by those in authoripy at Columbia that there are far more de- mands for domestic science teachers than there are for women to expound the higher culture.
