EFFICIENCY SOUGHT
IN SCHOOL SYSTEM
Hiring of Consulting Engineer ' i
other Step Toward Securing of
Economy and Best Results.
lUEAT AND VENTILATION BETTER
Ramifications of the school sys
tem of Greater Oraaha are more ex
tended than the average cltien real
izes. Recently the Board of Educa
tion engaged a consulting engineer
at $160 a month.
"What does the board want with
a consulting engineer?" asked a
patron In a conversation with a mem
ber of the school board.
Engineers and firemen are receiv
ing Instructions from an expert.
Firemen are being taught that their
work consists of something more
than merely throwing in a lot of
coal and If the fuel burns all Is well.
In the first place, the coal U tested for
heat units to determine whether the coal
man la delivering" coal of burning quali
ties as specified In the contract. 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 auch matters,
observed that some of the firemen were
shoveling out many pounds of half-burnt
coal with ashes, which practice Is being
stopped. Efficiency In firing will be de
manded of the school firemen. The ap
plication of draught to fires Is being
taught.
The matter oZ 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 receiving fresh air were
so near the ground that dust and leaves
were admitted and the leaves ground up
by the fans which force the lr Into the
rooms. These shafts will be placed near

oren oreame.

Thomas A. Fry. who has taken particu

a great saving can be accomplished by
the correct use of coal.

OMAHA IS AFTER A
PLACE OKAERO MAP
Gould Dietz, President of Aero Club,
Sayi 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 accordlnr-to President
Gould Dietz of the Nebraska Aero
club, by the Nebraska National
Ouard aeroplane flight between the
two cities Sunday and Monday.
Adjutant General Phil Hall, jr.,
of the tnllltta announced, after a
conference with Mr. Diets and Cap
tain Ralph McMillan of the aviation
corps of the state nillltla, 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
Omaha, If It Is not too cold, and will
then alight on the Field club golf
links, where a crowd of Omahans
will welcome him.
Carrying a message from Oovemor
Morehead to Mayor Dahlman, and also a
package from General Hall to Gould
Diets. McMillan will seek to demonstrate
the efficiency of aerial transportation In
emergencies, such as might arise for the
militia to handle in time of possible mili
tary activity.
Aerial Postal Boatae.
That the government rriay eventually
establish an aerial postal route between
Omaha and Lincoln Is suggested by Oould
Diets as a possible result of the militia
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
believes one will be established in Ne
braska.
The militia organisation expectato ralsa
some money for I aerial armory by mak
ing the flight McMillan will take pic
tures of Omaha from his aeroplane, and
will drep mimic bombs upon strategic
points, in flying from Lincoln he will
follow the Burlington railroad and stop
a few minutes at Ashland.

suit brought against him by Addle B.
Taylor. .

of 1913, which struck the Taylor home,
Mrs. Taylor believed she was controlled
by these spirits which told her that he
had purchased silk skirts and silk hose
to give to other women, lie also de
clared Mrs. Taylor said the spirits ad
vised his resignation from the mall ser
vice and that to please her he wrote out
the resignation and then destroyed it.
The Taylors have lived thirty years In

Crude Oil-Shortage
Sends Gasoline Up,
Says Omaha Dealer
Although gasoline Is now selling tor
about 60 per cent more than It did last
summer, retail dealers In refined oils
declare that a still higher price Is almost
certain to prevail very soon. Prices now
In Omaha are 14 to 12 cents per gallon,
whereas early In the summer gasoline
sold a low as 10 cents.
"A raise In wholesale price of 1 rent
a gallon has been made by the refineries j
since the last Increase In the retail ,
price," declares L. V. Ntoholaa, "and
that wholesale Increase must shortly be
made up by the retailer. Within a few
days at the latest gasoline prices will
go up still further.
C. It. Alleman, president of the Stand
ard Oil company of Nebraska, a purely
distributing company, also says that
gasoline prices will probably increase
again soon.
"Shortage in crude oil, due to falling
supply in some United States oil fields
and the total cessation. of the oil trade
with Mexioo and Russia, account for the
high prices," ho says.
Although prices In Omaha and Ne
braska are now lower than In the east
and even tn Texas and Oklahoma, where
the crude oil Is produoed, they cannot
remain so much longer, dealem assert
No relief la In sight, they say, from the
effects of the crude oil shortage.

They are so mild In action. I feel like
I have been made over again." Good
health has no greater enemy than con
stipation. Foley Cathartlo Tablets keep
the stomach sweet, liver actlvs, bowels
regular and banish biliousness, sick
