SCANT COURTESY TO THE OKATORS
,'
Ireland la Mark Better Condition
Tfcaa Railand Today. DM of
tkc Brardli Klowlaa from
Land Parcaase Art.
John E. Reagan, chairman of the demo
cratic county committer, has returned from
a business trip to Ireland. He has with
him a blackthorn stick ir Mayor Dahlman
nd a new notion of politic.
"1 did not see or heat' of one political
meeting- in the United Kingdom that did
not breakv up In a row. This wu espe
cially true In England. .It seemed to me
that the most distinguished men In public
life, when on the platform, were trratril
very much as we would treat the veriest
um If he attempted to make a public talk'i
on angelic morals, mafaguaras u
lums would Interrupt every sentence, and
continual uproar waa the order tn those
meetings. If a lord was talking he had
no show at all, but the lords had to get
off the hustings at a certain date and
keep their mouths shut from that time on.
"But Lloyd-George himself was given
most disrespectful treatment In some In
stances, showing that the Interruptions and
disorder were confined to no particular
party. 1 heard John Redmond, leader of
the Irish party, make a talk In Belfast,
and his audience was fairly decent. The
nationalists will hold the balance of power
In the new Parliament, and Ireland is .look
ing forward to getting a home rule measure
through Parliament.
Ireland Better Than England.
"Ireland Is today In much better condi
tion than England. I never saw so much
poverty and misery In my life as exists in
England, while similar conditions are fast
disappearing in Ireland; except in isolated
Instances. Englishmen have aaid to me
that they would delight to see the Irish
land purchase act made to apply to their
country, And I do not wonder at the wish,
for you may travel for hours through parts.
of England that are entirely given over to
gama -preserve uiiJ otitfer uuca that keep
the land uncultivated and unproductive.
The most useless parts the lordly de
mesnes have been set aside for the loca
tion villages, and they look most sterile
and unpromising.
"Every man In the British Isles, It seemed
f to me", carried a cane or stick, even the
clerks In the stores, and they stick to their
notions In England most tenaciously. I
ordered a suit to fie made and tried to have
It cut and tailored like the one I had on,
made here. ' The tailor would not make it
that way; told me I really dld not know
what the latest correct cut and make was.
It was like every other man's suit over
there, so I was not made uncomfortable.
Maybe 1 11 wear it a time or two In Omaha,
but If it attracts too much comment I'll
have it made over.
Cotton on Fire on Ship.
"Going over I was a passenger on the
Celtic, and for" five days In one of the
lower stories ot the boat several hundred
bales of cotton were on fire. With so much
water about, it would have been strange
If weburned up. Coming back I was on
the Lusltanla, and perhaps the news was
brought to your paper that a tidal wave hit
us, which smashed the windows in the
pilot house, two hundred feet above the
surface of the sea, and carried away eomei
of the nautical Instruments. Old sailors
aid it was the worst shock of raging water
hail k.rar vnrtMnnAl4. T t ahockfnfl
very passenger, all right, and sneaky
notions of going to the bottom crept
through our minds for a while,
"I was Interviewed by a newspaper man
In Belfast, while at a dinner gathering.
When he heard Omaha. Is a large as Bel
fast he was astonished. He wrote jf this
city as being In 'far-away western
. America,' and intimated that I, like every
American, Va boosting for the United,
States. lie congratulated me when I
told him I had quit newspaper reporting
to study law, indicating that newspaper
men are not millionaires, eyen In Ireland.
When I told hlrrt the farmers of this
state ride about in automobiles and that
the cows will not give down their milk un
til the electric lights are turned on and I
muslo box set going, he wondered quite
ft bit.
"The German war scare has everybody
eared green in England. They were
astonished when,- in answer to lnqulrie
t told them we knew little or nothing
about It over here. 'Their cherUhed hope
is that the United States will Join with
England in an alliance t6 make the kaiser
keep'wjthln bounds.
- "No. I wasn t seasick, going over or
eomlng back."

Jack Harnett of the assessor's office has

Flat Buildings.
OME building is the most uni
H
versal art in the world; that la
why there .Is so many engag4
in It. To some life in a note,
constitutes the ideal home, hav
ing no responsibilities or cares.
Others prefer .attached house In which
they have to do their own janitor work,,
keep up the heating plant, mow the lawn,
etc. Ktlll others prefer what they call the
happy medium between these two modes
of live and live in a flat. A flat reduces
the labor of housekeeping to a minimum,
for llvhig In a hotel could hardly be called
housekeeping. Selecting a home is ' like
selecting a wife, every man must choose
to his own taste and what suits one man
may not suit another.
The principle advantages of a flat from
the housekeeper's standpoint are the close
assemblag of rooms on one level, the
ever ready supply of hot water and having
6 carew ha. lever of the heating plant.
From the standpoint of an investor, a flat
provides from two to any number of
homes In a minimum amount of space. A
two flat flat building usually goes by' the
name of a duplex house. When the'bulld
ing. contains mora than twelve flats It Is
commonly called an apartment ' building,
and in the later case there are In each flat
seldom more than three or four rooms: It
Is the universal opinion among real estate
mn that a five or six-room flat will rent
as readily, and for as much as a seven or
eight-room flat, and they certainly cost
more to build. They give as a reason for
this the fact that people with large
families do not live in flats. Most real
estate men put a ban on small children.
This is no doubt a kindness to the children
for flat buildings are certainly no place
for growing children where their frolics
must be restricted In order to keep peace
with the neighbors. People can always
stand the noise of their own children, but

A race against time has again started on
on the new -Brandeis theater and offloe

The time for the complexion of the

Burgess has been given to understand he
may book an attraction for March 7. The
time for the completion of the stores and
office part of the big structure Is set for
May 1, and leases are being made with
that date In view. . '

headquarters to push the building opera

Work was' still practically at a stand

contractors said they hoped to have every
thing again running smoothly, with all

never fall to complain If disturbed In like
manner by the children of their neighbors.
Owing to the tenancy of fiats being
rented to small families It has been found
advisable to connect one of the chambers
with the parlor or living room by a wide
opening so that when the chamber is not
needed as such it can be used as a library
or sitting room. People who live In flats
do not figure on paying rent for a guest
chamber Every style of home can be
traced back to some form of dwelling- used
by primitive man. The bungalow is the
development from the one story, frail
homes used In various parts of the World
experiencing frequent seismic disturb
ances. Take Japan for a good, example,
wh;re selsmeUc disturbances are very fre
qtient, the houses are made of the ma
terials least effected by them and most of
them are only one story high. . So It Is said
that flat buildings are the Outgrowth of
the primitive homes of the cliff dwellers,
combining the bungalow idea of placing1
an entire home on one level with the cliff
locality this summer, because of the build
ing of the viaduct over the Belt Line tracks
on Dodge street, and because of the pros
pects of paving Farnam street from Forty
second street to the city limits. Appraisers
are now at wbrk fixing the damages, be
cause of the building of the Dodge street
viaduct over the tracks.
There Js every Indication that the coming
spring is to be one of extensive building
in , Omaha, especially of home building.
Architects are busy preparing plans for
hundreds pf homes and real estate trans
fers are numerous, for the resident dis
tricts. Many applications are already being
made to the loan associations for loans
with which . homes wilt. b bul'li Several
of the real estate firms4 report their busi
ness for this month as much larger than
for January a year ago. . ' (
All the downtown buildings are taking
on new life since the yeather man has
permitted the thermometer to rise above
the icro murk and bricklaying as well
concrete work is being pushed on all the
big structures. Workmen on the City Na
tional laid off a couple of days because of
the accident which caused the death of one
of the workmen, but all other buildings
are moving along except the Morris theater,
on which there was a slight disturbance
because of labor troubles. These .' large
buildings are providing work for hun
dreds of skilled workmen as well as for i
large number of laborers and are helping--!
to keep down th4 number of unemployed

I dwellers habit ot housing a number of
families In tiers, one above another In a
single rock. In fact,, residents In large
apartment houses are sometimes jocularity
referred to as "cliff dwellers." (The Idea
of placing as many homes used, one roof
as possible is sometimes carried to the ex
treme by Investors. One man remarked to
the writer that he had to go out doors
when he wanted to smile because he lived
in a flat Another said that his flat was
not wide enough for a dog to wag his tall
in. The flat should not be so narrow or
the rooms so small as to bring forth such'
Jocular remarks. ,
While people have come to expect small
rooms in the modern flat, that would hot
be satisfactory in a detached house, a flat
with good sized rooms will invariably rent
for more and keep its tenants' longer than
one which has rooms so small that' they
are continually- dissatisfied with them.
Location has a great deal to do with the
rent one can get from a flat. It If never
a profitable ' Investment to place a good
flat . In an inconvenient locality or on a
cheap lot. People who live In flats do so
because they like Its conveniences and they
much prefer living on a car line or very
close to it than taking a half mile walk,
which the suburbanite prefers in the In
terest of his health. The cost of flat build
ings varys according to size and finish, the
same as all other buildings. The higher
up the building, goes the more the ooBt
o the foundation and roof is distributed
among the flats, thereby reducing the cost
of every flat in proportion . to the entire
building until you get up four stories,
when, after that, the dlstanoe which the
materials have to be hauled up and the
Inconvenience of doing so commences to in
crease the cost of each additional story, and
since the rent of the upper stories is not as
great as' the lower stories, there is a
height at which flats will not be profitable
unless there are so many la the buildings)
