Herc is another opportunity for you to make a profitable investment in an Omaha enterprise. It is an investment that pays big dividends and an investment that you cannot lose. It is as safe as government bonds. About $13.250 of the $20,000 offered for subscription has already been taken up shrewd investors. So, don't delay too long. ; The attractive investment which I have recommended the budget of the Young Women's Christian asso- ciation. The sum of $20,000 is now being raised for it. The Y. W, of course, is very largely self-support- ing. But its activities are so wide and its charges are so small that a few thousands must be raised each year to make both ends meet. Dollar a Year. You can readily see why there is need to solicit some funds when you remember that a membership in_the “Y, W.” costs only $1 a year. It is made so low in order that no girl or woman will be kept out because of a prohibitive fee. This §1 entitles the member to all privileges, such as ad- mission to entertainments, discount in cafe and cafeteria, use of library, entrance to all educational classes on payment of small fees, use of bathing pool for small fee, registration in employment and boarding house di- rectory, membership in clubs, admis- sion to summer home in the country at low rates, use of the reception, rest, reading and writing rooms of the building. The public baths are open to non- members at 15 cents. Members are charged only 10 cents for fifteen ad- missions for the small sum of $1. Runs Summer Home. The association’s employment and boarding house directory gets posi- tions for young women and refers them to respectable boarding houses. The association keeps a secretary at the Union station all the time to help girls who come to the city. All summer the association's summer home at Bennington is open, where members can have an inexpensive outing. The educational department has a staff of eleven teachers, all experts. Here, too, the fees are much/below cost. For example, an English gram- mar course for foreign girls is given at 50 cents for fifteen lessons. The heginnin$ and advanced English courses for foreign girls are given n French and German a course of fifteen lessons is given at $3. A home nursing course of fifteen lessons costs but $3. Domesti ence, domestic art, mil- linery, physical education classe all taught by experts at very cost to members. ] Various clubs are conducted, There are six "cnmgfirc" groups. of / high school girls. The Central Friendship club, the Clover club, several grade Women's club, clubs for the gi in some of the stores and factories—all these are manifestations of the far-feagning work of the ‘association which surely have a wonderful power for good among the girls and young women of the city.

Some months ago he was transferred to the St. Joe & Grand Island road as su- perintendent, in which position he was serving at the time of being transferred back to the Union Pa: c:fi:, in charge of the Kansas divi- ston. Carey is an Omaha boy, born and reared here, and, though but about 35 ears of age, he has been with the, nion Pacific practically all his life.

RUNS ON STEAM POWER Two Omaha boys, John Brother- ton and William Campen, have in- vented a machine for projecting shells by means of steam instead of powder. The boys began to work on the de- vice when takisg physics at the Omaha Central High school in 1914. Since that time Brotherton has been working on the machine at lh_e Uni- versity of Chicago, while Campen worked at the University of Omaha. Brotherton came home for Thanksgiv- ing and the young inventors compared notes, finding that both reached the same conclusion in different labora- tories. 5 This machine utilizes the steam in a steam turbine and thus develops a great amount of centrifical force. The shell to be projected would be rotat- ed by means of the turbine. When the desired speed is developed the shell is automatically released and made to pass through a special groove which will transform the centrifical energy into forward energy. Experiment in Cellar. The 'machine has been made in miniature and is operated in Cam- pen's cellar, the Omaha laboratory of the students. The device will throw the shells a distance of from two to three miles when made in its normal size. The boys realize that it could not be used for long distance can- nonading, but they are confident that for short range work it would be less expensive to operate. They point out that if saltpeter should run out that the machine could be used in its place. The initial power need not be steam. It could be electricity or gas. The name_of the machine is “The Brotherton-Campen Turbine Gun.” The boys have taken the necessary steps to patent the device. They have written to the United States govern- men asking it to investigate their in- vention and to see if it could be used successfully. Van Engle Sues Railway Company * For Fifty Thousand 'Fifty thousand dollars is the sum asked from the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Railway company by August Van Engle in a suit for dam- lfles filed Friday. The complainant alleges that a street car hit the horse and wagon he was driving September 26, 1916, at Thirty-eighth and Cum- ing streets. As a result of the acci- dent Van Engle says he has suffered “permanent injuries.” Thieves Thursday Were Hungry Lot Thieves contintied their raids on Thlnksglvins day. E. P.

Omaha is Building Bigger Houses Now Omaha is building fewer but bigger and better houses, according to fig- ures for the month of November, 1916, compared with the corresponding month of the last year, according to the records of. the city building de- partment. 'he November record of the cur- shows that ninety permits ed to erect buildings whose total value is $726,105, In November last year 153 permits were ‘issued for building whose value was $656,075.

Uni of Omaha Professor Finds Cheap Extracter Prof. Leland Lewis, head of the chemistry department of the Univer- sity of Omaha, has been’ working on a fat extracter for some time and last Wednesday announced to his classes in food chemistry that the de- vice was in working order. It is simple and inexpensive. Those in use now cost anywhere from $5 to $10, while the new ones costs about 40 cents. The principle is the same, that of using ether, and the results are very accurate. A number of the ap- parati ‘may be seen working in the university's chemistry laboratory. Eluded Police for Six Months, but is Caught Six months ago Carmelo Bruce, 1522 South Fifth street, cut Lucia Seoto at 1251 South Thirteenth street.
