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.

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

of $65,011,523 and gross assets

again in the life of a man whose
life has been devoted to waiting

his profession and through ef
ficiency and ability, has won
the plaudits o the hosts who
know him.
The story of Joe S. Mcljanc
and his work as a headwaitcr

just won the first award in the
Itasenwald contest, in the per
sonal service group.
Mr. McLane was horn in Mar

parentage, worked his way up.
schooled himself and reached
the highest point in the hotel

IIis position in the hotel gave
him an opportunity to lead sev

Florida; and Gilmore Academy
at Mariana, Florida are schools

given scholarships for students.
In the story he says, “The

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

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.”
