BASE BURNERS
IN OMAHA TO GO
TO SCRAP HEAP
Dealers Will Not Exchange
and No Hard Coal to Be ,
Had; Other Kind of
v' Stoves Scarce.
Thousands of base burner stoves,
representing an investment of mil
lions of dollars, must be relegated
to the scrap heap until after the
war, as a result of an acute shortage
ofxantlnacite coal. Hundreds of
such stoves are being stored by local
dealers.
With the appearance of the pres
ent cold snap and unabje to get
proper fuel, thousands of owners of
base burners have flocked to stove
, dealers to buy soft coal stoves. With
an ava'anche of such requests on
hand, dealers have placed huge or
ders for hot blast stoves, only to
discover an actual shortage as a re-
suit ot heavy government demands.
One firm alone in Chicago just
signed a contract with the govern-
ment for 5,000 of the soft coal
stoves. , .
Will Not Trade. s
With no immediate prospect for a
relaxation of the anthracite situation,
dealers are refusing to accept base
burners in trade for the hot blast
stoves even at great sacrifices on
the part of the owner.
While certain kinds of soft coal
, are suggested as a substitute for the
anthracite, coal and stove authorities
generally agree that by-product coke
is the only substitute giving any
thing approaching satisfactory . re
sults. But coke, like the anthracite,
is obtainable only in limited quanti
' ties and the supply is apparently de
creasing. While soft coal can be burned
at an almost confiscatory cost, its
combustion in a base burner is at
tended by a great danger from pois
onous gases generated and escaping
through air holes.
Coal dealers in general report the
soft coal situation as satisfactory
among small dealers who have'heed
ed the United State fuel administra-
, tion's warning to "buy early," but
among large consumers it is differ
ent. This is notably apparent among"
office building and apartment house
owners, who have relied upon an
ppen market as a result of antici
pated early buying. Such delin
quent orders are pouring into the
various coal offices, but their pros
pects for early fulfillment are re
Ttnote, it is said.
Femihall Women Have
Not Learned to Cuss
Enough for Men s Jobs
' The woman in feminalls' who is
doing her bit in furnishing man
power for Omaha, during the tem
porary absence of skilled members
of the other sex who are engaged
on a big job for Uncle Sam and
world democracy overseas, is cer
tainly plucky and resourceful, but
there are times when even she is
stumped. ; . '
Thursday two of her appeared at
St. Berchman's academy, South
Twenty -seventh street and St.
Mary's avenue, and essayed to fix
a heating stove in one of the rooms.
The stove was out of repair and
scemedjpossessed of an acute sense
of inanimate cussedness.
The women worked and worked
and suppressedly fumed and fussed
with the refractory stove, with the
good sister and girl pupils as inter
ested spectators. Their efforts and
fuming ? and fussing were without
avail, for the stove persisted in being
cranky and the stove fixers in fem
inalls had to give it up as a- bad job.
One of the little girl pupils, on her
arrival at her home that evwuing,
told the assembled family of the
days' experience at the school.
"Why couldn't the women fix the
stove?" she asked her mamma.
"Because they couldn't cuss like
your papa," was the prompt and de
cisive answer ot-wise mamma.

Bishop McGovern's Name
is Changed by Mistake
, Bishop McGovern of the Catholic
diocese of Cheyenne, is 'an Omaha
boy. He was born here and on his
natal day his proud parents chris
tened him Patrick Alphonsus Mc
Govern. He continued under this
patrynomic until he was elevated
to the bishropic, when, in the papal
fcull announcing his elevation he
wis named, by mistake, Patrick
Aloysius McGovern, and so it has
continued.
: It now develops that another
bishop, the late Bishop Chatard of
the Vincennes see was a victim of
a similar mistake of the Vatican.
: The bishop was named Silas Ma-
t reau, and when he was elevated the
name Francis was given him. The
: Silas was changed to Sales, and
ever since he was known as Fran
cis De Sales Mareau. .
Boll Swaps His Interest
in Furniture for Diamond
. Archie Bell, against whom a di
vorce petition was filed Thursday by
Mrs. Pinkie Bell, has made an agree
ment, filed in district court, whereby
"for the consideration of. One dia
mond ring," he agrees to relinguish
all rights ornterest to the furniture
at the family home, 1717 Burt street,
and "not -to molest or bother Mrs.
Frankie Bell in the full enjoyment
of the same." And, he further agrees
not to do Pinkie any bodily harm.
Pinkie is evidently skeptical of the
value of the latter's agreement on
a scrap of paper," so she asks the
court to issue injunction against
Archie, whereby he will be forbid
den by law to trespass upon the fam
ily lot
Bishops Need Not Visit
the Vatican During War
Word has come . from Rome to
the Catholic bishops of the various
dioceses of Nebraska, Iowa, Wyom
ing' and Colorado that all American,;
bishops are excused from making
their "ad limina visits to the Vati
can in 1919 on account of war con
ditions. If the war does not end
before 1920 they can defer their
visits tQI924i
CHAPTER VI.
The Chance to Fight .
PEGGY couldn't understand the
great human voice that had
seemingly c ome from Lone-
' some Bear's mouth. Neither ould
j she understand why the bullet from
f"-h Hair's gun had not harmed
him. v ,
uilly Belgium didn't let her won
der long. He softly called to her to
! come to him in his hiding place
I above the -rock, where Lone
' some Bear stood. In his hand was
i the megaphone. That explained the
great voice of the Spirit of the
Hills.
"Aren't you afraid they'll- shoot
Lonesome Bear?" whispered Peggy.
"They can't shoot without bul
lets," he replied with a subdued gig
gle "I left them powder in their
cartridges, but no bullets. That
was fine work with your air rifle:
Quick 1 There's another Indian go
ing to shoot."
A reckless young brave ' had
raised his gun, taking careful aim at
Lonesome Bear, Peggy had her. air
gun ready. THe Indian fired, and
Lonesome Bear, opening his mouth
'in a broad grin, pretended to catch
j the bullet with his teeth and to
throw it back with his paw.
I "Pingl" went Peggy's air rifle,
and "Wow!" yelled the savage, as
I the shot caught him in the 'stomach.
"Evil for evil!" boomed Billy's
vuitc inruugn inc megapnone ana
the Indians cowered back still
further. '
"The Spirit of the Hills is anerv
' with the Red Men," sounded the
fearful voice. "Why do ye evil now,
after many years of peace? Answer,
Chief Many Cows, why have you
I left your milk cans and your bot
tles?'; ! Chief Many Cow? was astonished
l to hear his name called and hesita
ted in his answer.
"In the Indian blood there is a
longing for the wild life. For many
months it has slept. Now it has
called me from my cans and my
bottles."
Peprgy wai amazed. This really
was Fred Snow, the milkman.
"You talk foolishly 1" boomed the
Spirit of the Hills. "In all men,
white as well as red, there is a lone-
'ing for the wild life. That is why
j the Pale Faces are now camping
in my nuis. u is rignt that once in
a while you should heed this call
of the blood. It will do you good
to break away from the civilized
life, to camp in the woods, to run
free, to hunt, to fish, to roam the
hills but it is not right that you
should. turn savages again. Would
you go back to the old days of hun
ger, of freezing in cold tepees, of
riding ponies instead of in automo
biles?" "The Spirit of the Hills speaks
wisely," cried Chief Many Cows.
''We had not looked at it that way
before. We can have just as much
fun on a vacation frolic as we can
killing Pale Faces. And then when
we get tired of running wild and
want to get back to civilization we
will still have our customers Jeft
instead of only their useless
scalps."
"Scalps I We wanvscalps!" shout-y
ed the young Indians stubbornly.
"Are you Huns that you should
want to tear the hair from human
victims," thundered the Spirit of
the Hills."
"Don't any one dare to call us
Huns; we are Americans and we
want to fight," replied the Indians.
"Then there is a place for you
to fight with the American soldiers
against the Germans 1"
"Whoo-oopl I never thought of
that! I'll enlist tomorrow!" yelled
Much Hair.
"Whoo-oop! We will enlist to
morrow!" yelled the other young
L.dians. i
"Good to them that work good!
Evil to them that work evil 1" thun
dered the Spirit of the Hills. "Gall
in your scouts, Chief Many Cows,
and go home in peace."
"Whoo-pee ! Whoo-pee ! Whoo
pee!" cried Chief Many Cows.
"Whoo-pee!" came back an an
swer from the forest !'Whoo-pee!"
came a cry from farther away.
"Whoo-pee!" it came still further as
the cajl was passed along. Appar
ently the hills had been covered by
scouts. '
"Whoo-pee," cried one from" the
top of the basin, opposite where
Peggy and - Billy were hidden.
"What's the matter?"
"Come on in. We're going home
and enlist to fight the Germans."
"That hits me' right," answered
the scout in up-to-date American
slang. "I'm nearly eaten up by
mosquitoes, and I want my clothes
on when I go on the warpath again."
"The warpath you'll go on is the
big warpath,' solemnly spoke the
Spirit of the Hills. "It is the war
path for the right, for the liberties
of all people at all times. Good to
those who work good. Evil to
those who work evil!"
' The glow lighting up Lonesome
Bearr flickered out, and her" disap
peared in the darkness. Pe"ggy felt
Billy Belgium dragging her along
up the hills, and in a minute she
was safely back in camp. From a
distance Came a shout. But the
shout was a good American cheer,
not the whoop of a savage. The
Indians were on the right warpath
tftis time. Satisfied and unafraid,
Peggy tumbled into her cot, and in
an instant-was fast asleep.
(The next adventure ot Ptggr takes her
on a patriotic mission, recruiting feathered
fighters Jor Uncle Earn.)
