MEETS PUBLIC CURIOSITY
; - By A. R. GROH.
, A young reporter was ent out once
to write up balloon'a'sceiuion. He
returned in a couple of hours and told
the city editor there was nothing to
write.
."Why not?" asked the city editor.
"Well," said the. reporter, "they
didn't have any balloon 'ascension.
The fellow went up with the mayor
and the chief of police and when he
got up about a hundred feet the wind
ran the balloon against the Methodist
church steeple and tore it all to pieces.
Two of the men fell down and were
killed right away and the mayor was
still hanging on to the top . of the
steeple when I left, and they didn't
know how to get him down."
It is said the young reporter in after
life became a successful vegetable
peddler. .-
wnai is wewsf -.-.
This brings us to the question, What
is newsr Mews is anvthintr that is
of interest to the public. Accidents,
deaths, marriages,; births, successful
enterprises pi men or failures, inno
vations, things strange, out-of-the-ordinary.
: . .-'.
Dana, the editor of the New York
Sun, once illustrated put-of-the-ordin-ary
news, v'.'
If a dog runs out and bites a man,"
he said, "it may be news and it may
not be, depending on who the man is
ana now badly he is bitten. But if
man runs out and bites a dog it
news, no matter who the man is." ' '
Effect of Distance. ,
The importance of a piece of news
m any given locality depends upon
the distance of that locality from the
W th
place wnere the news happens. I re-
member reading in the London Times
about the Umaha tornado. It was I
piece about four inches long: and aim-
ply stated that 1,000 people had been
killed. If that tornado had struck
.London it would have had columns of
, space, even in the august "Times.
News varies in importance also ac
cording to the prominence of the per
sons involved. If a tramp is killed Jn
a wreck the public isn't as much in
terested in it as if a well known citi-
zen is killed in a wreck. , - , '. ,
yf Mystery is a great element in mak
S in fir news of interest became it stim
ulates the primitive emotion .of curi
osity. For example, the kidnapping
i oi cuuie vuaany.
The news value of what happens Is
governed also by the number of .peo
ple who are interested in it. The fifty
mempers 01 some club would be in
terested toee a full, detailed report
of the club's meetings, but the news
paper's other 99,950 readers would
have no interest in such a detailed re
port. Therefore only the most impor-
iam icaiurcs or me club meeting are
- mentioned. ' .
In short, th nura ,'a mr.lmA U:i..
' to meet tie desires and demands of
tne greatest number.
Dying Man Makes
Own Funeral Plans
Mike Hynock, 1216 South Thir
teenth street, an Austrian, was shot
by a Serb, L. Milech, according to
the verdict returned by a coroner's
. jury ' this morning. Hynock, after
being shot in a qu.--rel over the war,
asserted he was positive- he would
die and completed his own funeral ar
rangements .an hour before he passed
way.

Kugel Thinks that
All New Year Fetes
Should Be Day Early
City Commissioner Kugel. as super
intendent of the police department,
is in a quandary as to what to say
regarding the New Year s eve -festivities,
inasmuch as this event falls
on a Sundav this vear. . - ,
' A number of inquiries have reached
Mr. Kugel's' office, particularly from
hotel men, who' want to know what
to do about making New Year's eve
reservations.
It has been ihe custom in the past
to "let the bars down" on" the last
evening of th year. Mr. Kugef be
lieves the celebration should be held
on Saturday evening this time. .
Eeal Estate Men
Will Devote More
;,') Time to Land Yfoxk
The Omaha Real Estate board
wants to pursue narrower lines this
year. The report of the executive
committee, which was adopted, limits
the activities and discussions of the
club largely to matters pertaining to
the real estate business, instead of
covering the whole field of civic and
political activities. The report created
a discussion that lasted over an hour.
The committee branded the" activities
of the club during the last two years
as negative rather than positive.
Mr. Ultimate Consumer it you
bought' Jour coat Tuesday instead of
waiting until yesterday, you saved $1
per ton on most of the grades. .This
morning the Omaha coal dealers took
another twist at the high cost of liv
ing and before, they , quit they had
added 'the $1 per ton to those kinds
of coal that' are in rnost demand.
Omaha coal dealers assent 'that in
making the advance in price to the
consumer,- an even greater advance
has been added to their purchases' at
the mines. ' v . . -
Tuesday morning hard coal was re
tailing at $12 to $12.50 per ton aid
now the same kinds of coal sells at
$13; to $13.50. The Arkansas eoals
were caught for an advance of but 50
cents ncr ton and the bpartra that
Tuesday sold for $10.50 noy fetches
ill on large or small orders.
The greater part of the soft coals
comes from the Illinois mines.- lues-
day this coal sold at $7.50 per ton
Now it is listed at 8.u, and tne deal
ers declare that they don t care
whether or not you take it, tontend
ing that selling it at this price is
about the same as swapping dollars,
so far as a profit is concerned, v
4 ' Coke Goea Up, Too.'
Early in the season a good many of
the people took to petroleum coke as
i winter fuel, largely because d
not produce ashes. The early lorders
were filled at $10.25. Then it was
boosted 50 cents in price, followed by
another boost, and now the price has
been out no to $11.50 per ton.
Dealers assert that they are unable
to say if there will be another ad
vance, but they add that they would
not be surprised to see several before
the winter is over. 1 hey contend
that the demand for coal is unprece
dented, due almost wholly to a large
export business and the operations of
practically all the manufacturing
plants the country over, They assert
that another cause tor the advance
made at the mines and which ulti
mately hits the consumer, is due to
the shortaae in production. They in
sist that all through the coal mining
districts, although wages to miners
have been increased,' it is impossible
to get rnen. -. . -v . ..." ; - - -

WOULD JOIN C0LLE0UTE3
In connection with the establish
ment of the co-operative employment
bureau, sponsored by the federal
government, is brought, to light the
connection of an Omaha clubwoman,
Mrs. F. H. Cole, and her department,
that of civil service reform, General
Federation of Women's ' Clubs, in
bringing the jnovrnicnt to' its pres
ent status. ' '- ,
Plans of establishing the bureaus
were first made public May 24, 1916,
at a conference of Mrs. Cole's depart-,
ment at the biennial convention in"
New York, when . Commissioner.
General . A. Camminetti and . Mrs.,
Camminetti were present. Miss Kate
Waller Barrett -commented , on. .this,
in a speech made at that time. A
movement for a separate women and!
girls' division of the bureau, not in
cluded in the original plan,- was en-'
dorsed at this conference and later
put into effect, '
"Opportunities for Women in the
Federal Service" is a pamphlet issued:
by Mrs.- Cole last year, partly along-'
the line of work planned by the fed-.
eral bureau. Training for public
service has always been featured by:
the civil service reform department.
A number of local clubwomen will
be asked to meet General Camminetti
on his next, visit. . ; . " ,
