Wlth pHPraK f the hill for the r- i 1 i V V'moii of th rlty rhurlrr th- city council will Immediately art biisv on th- nuwtlmi of garbage collection and illopoitltloii. The reviixM charter. ahouM the bill Phhb, will empower the city council to vote bond In the um of $1. VI, 000. I ho money to be used to 1nMU garbage reduction plants should tha city ctunoil decide that to be the beat way of dlHNliig of lis garbage. At present there are no provision for voting bonds for this piupo, according to Ueorge Craig, city engineer, who Is ac tlva In a movement for better garhaga fa cilities. But the new charter makes ample provision. Councilman Sheldon will introduce an or dinance to vote Ihe bonda as wun an the charter revision act becomes active. "I shall not delay matters a moment.' sain Mr. xneldon. "IJke Mr. Craig. 1 ami of tha opinion that Omaha must do some thing at onee to belter Its system of col lection and dlspiwal of garbage. I am of the opinion that a reduction plant, or two If necessary, is the most feawlble solution or tn disposal question. My ordinance will likely make p-ovixton for the erection of a reduction plant. w nether wa will be able to Install an adequate system for tha handling of gar bate depends on the disposition of the bill for the revision of the charter." Mr. Sheldon, who has been agitating better garbage conditions fur some time. has made an exhaustive study of the question of garbage disposal. "I am In favor of the reduction plant. Juat what sort we should decide to Install la another matter. Mr. Craig la much Impressed with the plant on Sta.ten Is land, used for the reduction of garbage for the borough of Richmond, N. Y. Per sonally I do not think as well of this plant aa the one In use In Minneapolis. Tha New York plant la what la known as I tha English patent, while Minneapolis has I Installed the De Carle plant. The latter, which la a water Jacketed plant, does not cost aa much fur upkeep, according to statistics, and It la for this reason that I am Inclined to the one used In Minneapo lis, "However, thla la a mere matter of de tail. What we want la a reduction plant. "1 do not believe that any opposition will be1 encountered In getting an ordinance through the council. Tha members realise that we need Improvement along this line and I believe will be unanimous In their attitude toward the establishment of an up-to-date system." WHAT'S BECOME OF MEMPHIS? WBsaaasaasaBl Not Wore) lias Hern Heard flac (' Omaha Accepted the Cballenaes. The city dads of Omaha are wondering what has become of the contests that the city of Memphis. Tenn., proposed some two weeks ago. Along about that time chal lenges were received by the mayor, the chief of police, thief of the fire depart ment, superintendent of schools and a host of other organizations about town, pro posing contests In the various depart ments. . These defies came ao thick and fast that the Omaha officials kept the messenger boys humpbacked carrying lengthy tele grams accepting the challenges. Bo eager were the Omaha officials also to get a crack at the Memphis propositions that they couldn't wait for the malls to carry the acceptances. They sent them by wire. After waiting a reasonable length of time the Omaha chiefs are getting weary. Like wise, they are figuring up the deficit. which comes of sending seven night mes sages to the southern city. They have also come to- the conclusion, that Memphis slip ped one or a series of ones over on them. not a reply to an acceptance has been re ceived, though the Memphis challengers were given the privilege of naming all conditions. I guess they slipped one over," said Mayor Dahlman Saturday morning. "It was an unique advertising scheme, but Memphis probably reckoned without Us hosts when It hurled, that bunch of defies along thla way. "They are probably willing to acknowl edge that they ran up against one western town that wasn't afraid to take a chance with the prohibition city."

Twenty-eight men were enlisted In the 1'nlted States nsvy at tha Omaha recruit ing station In the federal building last week, establishing a record for a week's enlistments at the local station.

Most of the number of recruits taken were men and boys who lived in various placea throughout the United States.

So fragmentary is the material mailable on furniture making prior to this lime that, the chronological arrangement is begun with this date. Even patterns of the days of Elizabeth are few, for it takes excellent craftMiienship to survive three centuries, bm so solidly constructed was the furniture that some of the Elizabethian designs have remained intact to the present day. In these fragments and in their reproductions are many romanti.; stories; for as there are sermons in stones, so there must be delightful tales in these historic, bits of furniture.' Your ancestors created furniture and woodwork which appealed most strongly to them, and from these sturdy old chestn, massive tables, majestic four-post beds, and tall straight chairs charming bits of history are gathered. These talk with one of the manners and customs of those glorious times long since faded into the deeest pages of history. Or they call forth pictures, and one sees the giant shadows of men who made history during the leign of the Virgin Queen. Francis Drake is beheld sailing the seas for glory. Ezzcx is seen composing sonnets to his queen; Bacon is viewed struggling with his literary works; Marlowe is pictured bringing forth vivid dreams: Shakespeare is seen at work on plays, the like of which has never been produced. All these classical articles are so fraught with romance that one cannot stand before them without being tarried back into ancient days. For this reason every student of history, every man who loves ancient beauty and every woman who delights in romance should visit our store and look upon the modern reproductions of theso classical periods.
