HEAT AND VENTILATION BETTER Ramifications of the school sys- | tem of Greater Omaha are more ex- | tended than the average citizen real- | izes. Recently the Board of Educa- | tion engaged a consulting engineer rl at $1560 a month ““What does the board v«n'\( with a consulting engineer?” asked patron in a conversation with a mem- | ber of the school board.

Then | the ashes are tested to determine whether | the firemen are getting ‘‘every pound of steam” there is in the coal A member of the board, more or less| conversant with coal and such matters, observed that some of the firemen were shoveling out many pounds of half. hmn!i coal with mshes, which practice is being stopped. Efficiency in firing will be de-| manded of the school firemen. The ap-| plication of draught to fires s being | taught. The matter of proper ventilation is re- garded as highly important in the school room. An examination of some of the| ventilating systems of the schools showed | that the shafts recelving fresh alr were 80 near the ground that dust and leaves | wero admitted and the leaves ground up by the fans which force the air into the | rooms. These shafts will be placed near the roofs where dust and leaves cannot enter and gorrupt the air which the chil- dren breathe. At the Central High school the consult- ing engineer learned that the heating system is deficlent. An underground flue of 30 feet will be abandoned and a stack placed near the boflers. This will cost | #ome money, but it is figured that the improvement will save much in the end The lighting of schools also will receive The boys of Fort scheol have completed a garage which they expect to sell for |the benefit of the school fund.

Christmas Gifts OMAHA IS AFTER A PLACE ON AERO MAP Gould Dietz, President of Aero Club, Says That Will Be Accomplished by Militia Flight. TO ATTEMPT FLIGHT SUNDAY Omaha and Lincoln will be prom- inently placed on the aero map of the country, according-to President Gould Dietz of the Nebraska Aero club, by the Nebraska National Guard aeroplane flight between the two cities Sunday and Monday. Adjutant General Phil Hall, jr., of the militla announced, after a conference with Mr. Dietz and Cap- tain Ralph McMillan of the aviation corps of the state militia, that the latter would positively attempt the flight if weather conditions permit. He will arrive from Lincoln about noon Sunday, plans to fly all around Omabha, if it is not too cold, and will then alight on the Field c¢lub golf links, where a crowd of Omahans will welcome him. Carrying a message from Governor Morehead tc Mayor Dahlman, and also & | rackage from General Hall to Gould Diets, McMillan will seek to demonstrate the efficlency of aerial transportation in emergencies, such as might arise for the militia to handle in time of possible mili- tary activity. Aerial Postal Rou That the government may eventually establish an aerial postal route between Omaha and Lincoln Is suggested by Gould Dietz aeroplane’'s flight. Such aerial postal routes are already In operation in some parts of the country, and Postmaster J. C. Wharton of ‘Omaha has said that he belleves one will be established in Ne- braska. ‘The militia organization expects to ralse some money for { & aerial armory by mak- ing the flight. McMillan will take pi tures of Omaha from his aeroplane, and | will drep mimic bombs upon strategic points. In flying from Lincoln he will follow the Burlington rallroad and stop & few minures at Ashland. Says Wife Believed She Was Controlled by Hostile Spirits belleved That his wife she was con- trolled by “spirits” which were hostile 0 him, was tle testimony of John W. Taylor, a rallway mall clerk, in a divorce suit brought against him by Addie B. Taylqp. Taylor testified that after the tornado of 1913, which struck the Taylor home, Mrs. Taylor believed she was controlied by these spirits which told her that he had purchased silk skirts and sik hose to give to other women. He clared Mrs. Taylor sald the spirita ad vised his resignation from the mail ser- vice and that to please her he wrote out the resignation and then destroyed it The Taylors have lived thirty years in Omaha and were married in Tecumseh, August 7, 1579.

Prices now Wwhereas early In the summer gasoll sold as low as 10 cents. “A raise in wholesale price of 1 cent a gallon has been made by the refineries since ‘the last increase in the retall price,” declares L. V. Nicholas, “and that wholesale increase must shortly be made up by the retailer. days at the latest gasoline prices will &0 up still further. C. L. Alleman, president of the Stand- ard Ofl company of Nebraska, a purely distributing company, also says gasoline prices will probably increase again soon “Shortage in crude ofl, due to falling supply in some United States ofl flelds and the total cessation.of the ofl trade with Mexico and Russla, account for the high prices,” ho says. Although prices in Omaha and Ne. braska are now lower than in.the east and even in Texas and Oklahoma, where the crude oll is produded, they cannot remain so much longer, dealers assert No reliet is in sight, they say, from the effects of the crude ofl shortage.
