In this day of invention and dis covery, it may be said that our dic tionaries are practically obsolete be fore they leave the press. Autoing, aeroplaning, tangoing, soul-mate, eu genists, and a host of like technical terms are now commonplace. Saloon and anti-saloon, suffragists and anti sufiragists, socialists and anti-social ists, have likewise established their positions. Not to be left behind in the matter of supplying the dictionaries with ad ditional material, one of the progres sive Omaha daily papers springs a decidedly new technical term on us, as is shown by the above want adver tisement. Will some of our equally progres sive readers come to our assistance and define the anti-term? Information as to the nature, species and habitat of this branch of the human family will be published, most willingly for the enlightenment of our readers. The Modern Incandescent Bulb. The arc lamp is finding a serious rival for supremacy in the new gas filled tungsten incandescent lights. As is generally known, the old style in candescent bulb consisted of a small carbon filament inside of a glass bulb that had been almost completely vac uated. In the new bulbs the carbon filament is replaced by one. of tung sten, a rare metal, and instead of a vacuum, the space within the glass bulb is filled with an inert gas, usually nitrogen. Most of the large, brilliant electric lights in the down-town districts are of this type. According to the “Elec trical World," nearly ten thousand arc lamps in New York have been replaced by the tungsten gas-filled lamps Yet even in this day of “bot tled sunlight,” there is much to be done, for about 85 per cent of the energy used for lighting purposes is wasted in other forms than light. Among the many recent attempts to produce substitutes for staple food products that have reached extremely high prices on account of the present war, there is an important one re ported from the West Indies. Scien tific work there has resulted in the production of a fruit flour from ba nanas at a comparatively low cost. From 537 pounds of bananas 138 pounds of the finished product are obtained, now selling for 4 cents a pound, wholesale. The flour may be used alone or It may be mixed with other flour. On account of the high sugar content, bread and cakes made from the ba nana flour are not only more palat able, but also more nutritious than those compost'd of plain starch flour from potatoes, or from cereal flours in general.—Scientific American. Everybody knows that the body loses considerable weight when per spiration exudes in noticeable drops, but it is somewhat of a surprise to learn that the rate of moisture evap oration from the body that goes on so slowly that it is not noticed results in the passage of no less than twenty to thirty-three ounces of water in twenty-four hours from the seven mil lions of pores on the human body. Kailroad service is being carried to a high point of efficiency, as is indi cated by a recent invention which makes it possible to have wireless telephonic communication from car to car, from one train to another ahead, or one behind, or to the nearest sta tion. The work is being done by Dr. Millener, experimental engineer of the Union Pacific railroad. FAST TIME MADE AT NEW AUTO SPEEDWAY JULY 5TH The auto races at the speedway Iasi Monday afternoon were a disappoint ment in some respects, mostly due to the fact that there were so few en trants. This was caused by the Sioux City speedway races having been held on July 3rd, making it impossible for the drivers to get their cars in shape for the Omaha track in so short a time. Originally the Sioux City meet was set for June 19th, but for some reason yet unknown the A. A. A. al lowed them to change to July 3rd, which deprived Omaha of ten or more drivers which they would have other wise gotten. OMAHA IN HOLIDAY ATTIRE FOR SAENGERFEST CONCERTS Omaha will be in its most gay attire for the Saengprfest of the Northwest Saengerbund, July 21 to 24, when six of the world’s greatest singers will ap pear In conjunction with the Saenger fest concerts. The city will be dec orated in the colors of the society, red, black and white, and from one end to the other the welcome greeting will be flouted to the visitors. Nebraska will be strongly represent ed at the series, though members of the organization will come from all the surrounding states. Especially will Iowa be in evidence, for advices from Iowa cities state that large del egations will be on hand. Never before has such an array of talent been secured for a series of concerts. Mme. Marie Rappold, Miss Julia Claussen, Miss Christine Miller, Jaul Althouse, Henri Scott and En rico Palmetto, all names to conjure with in the musical world, will par ticipate and appear in the five con certs. Theodore Kelbe of Milwaukee has been secured to direct the male chor us of 2,000 voices. Music will be fur nished by the Festival orchestra of sixty artists, with Th. Rud. Reese as conductor. FIGURES SHOW NEBRASKA-IOWA AT HEIGHT OF PROSPERITY That Omaha, Nebraska and Iowa are the most prosperous sections of the United States is proven by the bank clearings for the year. An anal ysis of the clearings, which reflect business accurately, show that for the entire year the business activity has been ten per cent greater than last year and for the last three months it has been 18.2 per cent greater. These figure? show without a doubt the stability of Nebraska and Iowa, which Omaha serves as a metropolis. With such a record, our citizens have just cause to be proud of their states, for in other sections, the business de pression has been seriously felt. True, Omaha is in the heart of God’s country, where all the world is now looking for food. The record made so far this season is one that is carry ing the story of prosperity to all parts of the world. BIG CIRCUS COMING THIS WAY SOON The Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show on Earth will exhibit at Omaha on Monday, July 26, and this good news is being heralded everywhere by the many agents of this, the big gest and foremost amusement insti tution in the world. The Barnum and Bailey circus has always been the largest that travels, and this season the management has found it neces sary to add many more cars to their trains in order to provide for the great equipment. It requires 85 double-length railroad cars to trans port the big show; 1,280 people are employed; there are 700, horses, 40 l his world has ever known. A fitting introduction to the won derful performance this year is the presentation of the new, magnificent spectacular pageant, “Lalla Rookh,” in which nearly 1,000 characters take part. In the circus proper, which is pre sented in three rings, four stages, the hoppodrome, and in the dome of the largest tent ever erected, 480 perform ers from every nation in the world take part and present a vast array of foreign features entirely new to Amer ica. A wonderful trained animal ex hibition is given by the marvelous war elephants, Pallenberg’s wonder bears, Madam Bradna’s angel horses, Tha lero’s dogs, ponies and monkeys, and the Barnum and Bailey statue horses. Great interest is already being shown in this neighborhood and great crowds will no doubt go to Omaha for the biggest and most enjoyable holiday of the year. Everyone is ad vised to get an early start in order to be there in time for the parade, which starts promptly at 10 a. m., and which is said to eclipse anything of its kind ever before attempted in the history of circus business. A man can lie out of a lot of things. But he can’t deny it when he eats or. ions. A man will pay a dollar for a 50 cent article that he wants. A woman will pay 49 cents for a 39-cent article that she doesn’t want. _er> ,, , BERG SUITS ME " •=• Thousands of Satisfied Customers who have attended our Semi-Annual ; Half Price Clothing Sales are coming back, because we satisfied them, and we advise those who have not taken advantage of this superior money saving opportunity to come here to morrow and pass judgment on the greatest Cloth ing values shown in Omaha. $10.00 to $40.00 Suits are now $5.00 to $20.00 2kq(Mmq&)
