Utilities District Sees Up-Turn In New Business Mrs. Omaha is going shopping for a new kitchen! In keeping with a nationwide movement toward modernization, Omaha women are discovering just how truly invit ing and pleasant a kitchen can be, with proper equipment. As evidence of this local move ment Mr. W. J. Barber, Assistant General Manager of the Metropoli tan Utilities District cites the re cent upturn in the purchase of modem gas ranges "Our sales of gas ranges have increased definitely during the last three months of 1935.” Mr. Bar ber says. "In fact, we can hardly keep pace with the inordinate de mand for modem gas cooking ranges.” “I am firmly convinced that this indicates a healthy sign of rapid recovery. Women are dissatisfied with their old stoves, their old re frigerators, their drab dark kit chens. They feel, and rightly so, that the kitchen is the place to ■tart moderizing. Usually the most important single piece of equip ment in the kitchen is the gas range. A range that is ‘good enough’ is often antique and inef ficient, requiring a great deal more labor and drudgery in cook ing meals than the new, modern up-to-date gas range. "Many women are surprised when wo demonstrate to them jusi how much advancement has beer made in the design and feature? of gas ranges. Antomatic lighting when the burner is turned on is s commonplace with the modern gaf range, but we find many womei: surprised when we demonstrate this feature. Accurate oven control too, is not widely known. The mod ern gas range has oven regulation that is absolutely faultless, due to advances made in insulation of the oven and burner equipment. Anoth er thing, the new ranges consume less gas fuel and operate more ec oomically, due to the modem methods of combustion and abso lute even insulation. What appeals most, perhaps, is the modern de sign and npnearame of the modern gas ranges—and let me tel! you they are really beautifully, smart, chi.' and all the words women like to apply to something truly mod ern and attractive.” A serious effort will be made by the Utilities District to acquaint Omaha women with the merits of gas cooking and the modem gas range this year. A campaign is contemplated which will include instructive und interesting adver tising, cooking demonstrations, etc. which will show just how mod ern and desirable gas cookinng is. The theme of the campaign will be ‘“Go Modern with Mrs. Modern” and enjoy the full benefits of gas as a fuel for cooking. It will benu fit all Omaha dealers in approved Gas Ranges. 3 UNFURNISHED rooms for rent at 2521 N. 24—Key at 2617 N. 24. WE. 1600. State Can Shoulder Its Own Relief Lincoln—Nebraska will solve Its own relief problem this winter dOB plte the difficult transition period when federal control will pass to the counties and will emerge next spring ready* to step on the busi ness accelerator. State WPA Ad ministrator Dwight F. Felton pre dicts. "If people can raise funds as they have boon doing to build auditor iums, schools and community proj ects of various kinds, then I am confident that the county boards should have little trouble in pro viding money for their relief cases," says Felton. "Just as soon as Nebraska gets a good crop, the relief problem surely will become negligible in this state.” 297 State Banks nave 65 Million Lincoln—There wore 297 solvent banks operating in Nebraska as of June 30, last, with total deposits of $65,011,523 and gross assets amounting to $76,138,979, us shown by the biennial report of the state banking department Just printed lor distribution.

The story of Joe S. Mcljanc and his work as a headwaitcr I for more than thirty years has just won the first award in the Itasenwald contest, in the per sonal service group. Mr. McLane was horn in Mar ianu, Florida, of very humble parentage, worked his way up. schooled himself and reached the highest point in the hotel |work that a colored man could.

Forty years after Mr. McLane had left school he was honored by the Bethune-jCookman College with an honorary degree. Bethune had been helped in the general rallies and he personally has given scholarships for students.

Pew men have worked harder, few men have gotten more and I am satisfied to be a man among men.” Teacher Wrote Story This prize winning story was written and submitted in the contest by Mrs. Wilhelmina J. Ruledge, a teacher in the Jun ior high school of Jacksonville, Florida. Mr. McLane gave his share of the award to Mrs. Rut ledge which was another evi dence of Ids generosity. Jack sonville and Florida feels proud because these two are native Floridans. Mrs. Rutledge is a member of the Inter-racial Committee of the YWCA. This body works with the Inter-rac ial Commission of Atlanta, who sponsored this contest for the Rosenwald Fund. Cost of Riding Rises In Italy Because Of War Rome, Italy—(CNA)—Motor bus fares have been raised from 10 to 20 centimes (a cen time equals 1-5 of a cent) or more to furnish the Italian gov ernment with funds to curry on its plunder of Ethiopia. Taxicab fares were increased several times in the last month, bringing on idleness for the cab drivers whose former patrons now walk or use trams. Y. M. C. A. To Hold Social Security Institute An Employer’s Institute on So cial Security Legislation will be held at the Omaha YMCA, Janu ary 17 and 16, according to an an nouncement made Tuesday by C. S. Wilson, director of the “Y” schools. Invitations have been sent Cham ber of Commerce groups through out Western Iowa and Eastern Ne braska to send representatives to the Institute. Employers generally in this territory have been inwited to attend, Wilson said. “Taxes on pay rolls started Jan uary 1 of this year. This new tax is imposed as part of the Soc ial Security Act. It means an ultmate tax of $90 a year on every $1,000 of annual pay roll, as much as $117 a year on a $25 a week stenographer,” Wilson said. “There are many opportunities for tax savings for those familiar with the legislation,” Wilson said, “.very employer owes it to himself and his business to have finger tip information.” Thurman C.
