MANNING GOES
AFTER H. S. BOYS
WHO PLAN DANCE
Were Expecting to Stage Hop
in Council Bluffs; Dance
Halls Must Remain
Closed.
Something heavy is going to drop
on the heads of Omaha High school
students who are arranging to give
cla'iccs in Council Blurts if they
don't "watch out." So say Health
Commissioner Manning and Super
.nteniknt Beveridge.
'Tluse youngsters must realize
that the spirit as well as the letter
ol the flu order is to be obeyed."
said Dr. Manning. "We have
stopped' dancing because we believe
that it the most common method
by which the influenza is spread.
And the dance hall in Council HlulTs
is just as dangerous as the dance
lull in Omaha."
Several of the high school dance
promoters have been called on the
carpet and have promised to call
off all the "hops."
An enterprising but misguided
nublic dance promoter of Council
Bluffs who has been parking his
automobile at Sixteenth and Doug
las stieets with a glaring sign of a
"Big Dance in Council Rluffs To
night" on it has "seen the light"
since an interview with Chief of
Police Eberstein and his propagan
da will cease in Omaha.
Owners Call on Mayor.
A delegation of dance hall pro
prietors of Omaha called on Mayor
Smith Friday to protest against the
continued closing of their places.
The mayor gave them no encour
agement toward reopening.
Dr. Manning said: "If I had the
power I would not only keep the
public dance halls closed during the
epidemic, but I would close them up
permanently. They are at al ltimes
a great menace to the public health
and morals."
The health commissioner isn't
quite so positive about private
dances. When told of a "private
dance" planned to be given at a
hotel next week with 200 guests,
he said he "thought these people
"might be out of luck." but didn't
He is allowing the Fort Omaha
authorities to act for themselves on
the dances which are given out
there and to which the girls of the
city go.
There were 25 deaths from Span
ish influenza reported to the: health
commissioner in the 24 hours end
ing Friday morning, one of the
largest lists since the epidemic
started.
Dr. Manning says there are about
100 new cases a day reported now,
but that they are not severe cases.
J. L Orkin Buys Stock
of Early Spring Apparel
Joseph L. Orkin, of Orkin Bros,
who was east attendg the opening
of their new store iniew York City
last week returned home Wednesday.
While in the eastern market lie pur
shased several thousand dollars'
worth of early spring apparel for
women and misses. Mr. Orkin re
ports the outlook very good for in
creased trading and predicts heavy
buying by every one previous to and
during the early spring fashion
shows. While the cost of materials
entering the making of the early
spring gowns, suits and coats has in
creased fully 25 per cent, he states
many buyers are already in the mar
ket and placing heavy advance orders.
DIPLOMAT ASKS PLACE
FOR ALL AMERICAS.
J t - f vM !
DK.'KOKmo iTACttT.
Dr. Roniulo S. Xaon. former am
bassador to the United States from
Argentina, in a recent speech at Bos
ton, suggested that every nation on
;he western continent ought to have
n voice in the discussion of world
reconstruction. He endorsed the
leadership of the United States in
the plan for permanent peace, and
said the fulfillment of the policy of
pan-Americanism was a political ne
cessity for the republics of the (new
world.
Grafonolas Sell as Fast
as They Arrive in Omaha
"It isn't a matter of selling them,
but the problem is getting enough :o
meet the demand," said Thomas F.
Parker, manager of the Columbia
Grafonola department of the
Schmoller & Mueller Piano com
pany. December 12 he wired the
company to send a carload by ex
press. They reached here on Sun
day the 15th, and every one was
sold the next day. The Schmoeller
& Mueller company supplies the
dealers in the states of Iowa and
Nebraska and since September, 1918,
they have sold 14 carloads, or over
3,000 machines. The price of the
machines range from $90 to $240, but
the machines most commonly sold
are the models from $125 to $175,
according to Mr. Parker.
WAR. PUZZLES
Five Plumbing Robberies
Reporfed to Police in Week
The fifth plumbing robbery in as
many days was reported to police
Friday. John P. Dailey, 1324 Cap
itol avenue, reported that burglars
entered his plumbing shop and
stole supplies valued at $100. Po
lice believe an organized gang is
operating in the city, confining its
efforts to removing plumbing from
private houses and shops.

Survey Shows Ninety Per Cent
of Men Back in Factories
in Omaha; More to
Report.
J. M. Gillan, manager of the in
dustrial bureau of the Chamber of
Commerce, has completed a survey
of Omaha manufacturing industries
and finds about 90 per cent of the
employes have been returned. At
a meeting of the industrial commit
tee Thursday Mr. Gillan submitted
some very interesting figures with
regard to Omaha manufacturing es
tablishments. About oOO factories
and manufacturing concerns are in
cluded in his report, and this shows
that these manufacturing concerns
employ 15,560 men, 4.200 women, or
a total of 19,760. The annual pay
roll for this army of workers
amounts to $25,245,171. The nor
mal output of the factories which
have reported amounts in money to
$404,418,611.
Twenty-Two Thousand Employes.
Mr. Gillan estimates that when
the few missing factories which
have not yet reported have been
rounded up the number of employes
will be in the neighborhood of 22,
000; the annual payroll will run
close to $27,000,000 and the normal
output about $412,000,000.
The manufacturing output for
last year as compiled by the bureau
of publicity was about $327,721,540,
and in all probability the output of
Omaha factories for the present
year will show an increase or $80,
000,000. The lines of industry
which have made the greatest in
crease are the packing houses, tents
and awnings, sheet metal, structural
iron and steel, flour and cornmeal
and truck body building. Mr. Gil
lan's report showed that while re
tail trade and building operations
and some other lines had been un
doubtedly held back by war condi
tions, manufacturing in Omaha has
received a decided boost during the
year.
Opals Becoming the Most
Popular of American Gems
"Opals since the beginning of the
war have become one of the most
popular native American gems used
in jewelry." said C. B. Brown, the
jeweler. "So many low-grade, cheap
opals are placed on the market, that
the public has become inclined in
small esteem.
recent years to hold all opals in
"The fact is a fine opal is a very
valuable stone as well as one of the
most beautiful of gems. Perhaps
the world s most valuable opal was
found in Hungary. It is about as
large as a saucer and is numbered
among the resplendent jewels of
the Hapsburgs, the ancient imperial
family whose reign over the Austrian
empire the war has just brought to
an end.
"Opals of fine quality are found in
the southwestern states, Mexico,
Honduras, South America, Hungary,
Saxony and Australia. Black opals
that flash colored fires are found ex
clusively in Australia. Opals arc of
many colors in combination but usu
ally have a dominant color tone.
This dominant color may be white,
green, blue, red or yellow. The
value and beauty of an opal depends
upon its apparent quality of flashing
its colors from inner fires. Opals
of the finest quality are among the
most brilliant gems known."
