With more than thirty-five petitions In
for public Improvements waiting In the
department of the city engineer, It looks
as If South Omaha Is to have an Immense
amount of publlo Improvement work next
summer, According to Assistant City Kn
glncer Lef!er the cost of the work will
approximate nearly $300,000, and will re

engineers.
At present the city engineer and his
assistant. Jay Ixifler, are preparing the
nine assessment rolls for the. next meet
ing of the council an the Board of Equali
sation. The assessments will cover pav
ing Improvements on J, Q and Twenty,

Pollen J '..J go Callanan winked hard yes
terday afternoon whlto Officer John
Jackman, who Is known for his kindly
deeds to the unfortunates who coma to
i V million new toys, among them do
ira ef perfectly amazing contraptions,
'are pouring lno Omaha for the Christ
j.as season. Many stores have already
received their season's supplies and are
rapidly unpacking and preparing to dls
r!ay them to the eager gas of all the lit
tle tots In town.
One ot the biggest collections In "toy
tiwn ' Is on the fourth floor of Hoyden
Uros. store where, under the care of
Max Ijowenmdyer, 10.0CO square feet of
1 floor mco Is already occupied by hun
dreds of thousands of toys.
This year's output of dolls will exceed
I the wildest dreams of the most Imaxrln-
, itlve lUtlc girl In Omaha. Besides the
Kewple s, who are making their debut
here nro lolls with flirting eyes; dolls
Lot speak with little, red, wagging
t ingues: and "charactei dolls" dressed
' n the clothes worn by the little girls In
he different nations of the earth.
Ixiwenmeyer says It will be tho rage
this year for little girls to dress their
dolls In several garbs morning, evening,
dinner gowns nnd street dresses. To pro
vide for the demand for doll clothes
several hundreds dollars ha been In
vested In the finest kind of doll raiment
Any lfttle doll In the city may own
several dresses, purchased ready mode
nt reasonable prices. And these dolls
will not bn forced to go barefoot, for
there are all kinds of shoes even to the
English walking shoo. And there- are
gloves nnd hats and fussy little under
garments and even corsets. Also, the
llttlo dolls have changes of hair and the
owner of one of these pretty toys may
at her will1 transform the doll from brun
etto to a blond, while the toy's winking
eyes' approve the performance.
Dolls of Rubber.
If the little gill to whoso heart a doll
Is dear desires to see tho toy grow un
der hor own hands she may purchase a
beautiful head from one to fifteen Inches
high. If this little girl Is Inclined to
bo rather rough with the toy a. rubber
doll of beautifully tinted and Indestruct
ible skin rriay be secured.
In addition to garments for dolls the
season ' brings the usual supply of doll
dishes, doll carriages, tables, chairs and
everything.
However, let It not be supposed that
the girls are favored by tho manufact
urers of toys. Contrary-wise, the boys
seom to have received the most thought
from inventlvo genius for the output of
new mechanical toys that are simply
I marvelous.
There are. athletic looking till men who
play pool on a real tin tlble with real
balls. And they are good shots. A con
cealed and almost noiseless spring oper
ates the arms In whose hands the cue
Is held. And there Is an.lnventlon which
ought to make any healthy boy. cheer
for Joy. A man, all of Jointed metal, is
made to bend light over a b)g weight,
seize It with his teeth and staunchly
stand upright with It, and then dexter
ously replace It.
More' "practical" for the boy Is the
"Mechano" structural Iron outfit out of
which a boy with a bent for bulldlnc
may construct anything from a rail
road to a windmill. This collection of
"things" Is so varied that the dozens of
pieces may be used for a multiple of
designs. And the whole outfit costs but
a small sum, unless Santa. Claus Insists
on buying one 'of the larger outfits, which
would run up'to 915 or more.
Rattling: Engine.
Of course, there are the usual number
of railroads and rattling engines, many
of them now operated on shiny tracks
by electrio power. But here is something
whloh will appeal to the' boy more than
any railroad, Lowenmeyer believes. It
Is a moving picture machine not a
"inogio lantern" mind you tout a real
motion picture machine with reels and.
films and everything.
Aside from mero toys there are many
ornamental as well as useful products
from the factories of the men who servo
old Santy. For example, there are little
desks for the boys and girls who are
learning to write, sorie.of them of fine
material and modo Just like Dad's big
desk at tho office. There are chairs to
go with these desks.
"Printing presses" have been Improved
this year and for the youngster who longs
to smear his hands In printer's ink, ser
viceable typo and forms have been pro
vided. Altogether, there Is such a collection of
things to buy the youngsters for Christ
mas that old Santa Claus must be suf
fering from nervous prostration, if his
purse has been depleted by the Ico man 1
or the coal man. However, several boys
who were .lnteniewed yesterday declare
the merry old chap never worries about
Ice or coal bills and the only thing that
could possibly bother him Is the Increas
ing cost ot gasoline for, having sold his
reindeers, he now uses an automobile.
