WILL REVIVE AERO
CLUBOFNEBRASKA
Meeting Saturday Noo at the
Chamfcer of Commerce,
When Captain Post
Speaks.
1 '
An attempt will be made to revive
the activities of the Aero club of
Nebraska at a meeting called at the
Chamber of Oonmerce rpoms for Sat
urday noon. Captain F. A. 1'ost, na
tive Russian, veteran of the Kusso
Japanest war, ami until recently an
officer at the Fort Omalia balloon
school, will speak to the officers of
the old Aero club, members of the
industrial committee "of the Chamber
of Commerce, and members cf the
Rotary club, who Lave shown an, in
terest. Captain Post believes the Aero club
should aLonce get active with a
view of bringing into being a plant in
Omaha for the manufacture of bal
loons and, other afrcraft, and 'for the
manufacture of the necessary gas to
fly them. He would have the Aero
club also foster a balloon school in
Omaha, where preliminary instruc
tion in aeronautics would be given,
which would not only be of value
to men who will in the future be
called into the aerial service, bul will
lay a foundation for a corps of men
who will be ready to take up the
work of flying across the continent
when the war is over and the great
sea-to-sea route for carrying mail and
other commercial activities is estab
lished as now proposed.
"Omaha is the. logical pkKe for
such -a school, for such a factory and
for such instruction," said Captain
Post. "Omaha is already recognized
as being the center of the United
States and particularly as being the
central station on the great coast-to-coast
air route which the government
proposes to establish after the war. If
Omaha docs not get active and build
a balloon factory, build a plant for
the manufacture of the necessary gas
and establish a school of aeronautic
instruction it is very likely that Kan
sas will become active in this respect
and will seek to draw the great pro
posed air route through Kansas in
stead of through Nebraska."
Captain Pose believes the lighter-than-air
craft are much more practi
cable for the commercial-flying" which
is proposed after the war than are the
heavier-than-air machines, for the rea
son that they are safer and do not re
quire as much space for starting and'
alighting.
The captain was an of75cerin the
.regular Russian army for 15 years
with the rank of lieutenant colonel.
He was commanding officer of a bal
loon detachment with Admiral Essen
in the great struggle for mastery of
the Japan sea during the Russo-Japanese
war. Hethas been in army bal
loon work since 1897, jvhen he was
graduated fronl an officers' balloon
school at Petrograd. He has been
flying since iri Europe, Asia and more
recently in America. He was hon
ored bv the University of California
by the degree of master of science.!

ebruary List of Victor Records
Contains Many New Song 'Hits'
Several new records of sterling
worth are contained in the Victor list
for February, just issued. Among
them are selections by Jascha Heifetz,
a youth who has astonished the
musical world with his . violin. In
Schubert's "Ava Maria," he plays one
of the loveliest of all melodies in the
realm of music. .
A great anthefli that possesses a
touch of the prophetic is the ringing,
"Rule, Britannia," in the glorious
voice of Frances Alda. One of the
new records is by Evaa Williams,
singing the quaint "Kerry Ditty."
"Hits" from Broadway successes
are numerous. Among them are:
"The Land Where Good Songs Go,"
"Give Me the Moonlight, Give Me the
Girl," "Any Time That's Kissing
Time" and At Siesta Time."
Sophie Braslau, Mabel Garrison,
Schumann-Heink and Clarence
Whitehill sing new numbers

torney. "Hub," as he is familiarly called
by Omaha friends,' is now stationed
