THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1919,
OMAHA -CHICAGO
AIR MAIL ROUTE
TO OPEN BY MAY
Chief of U. S. Air Mail Service
Here to Look Over Landing
. Site and Ground for
Hangars.
"Regular air mail service will be
inaugurated between Omaha and
Chicago not later than May of next
yqar and if we had the money to go
on with the work and carry out our
plans, we would be in here much
sooner," said Col. John A. Jordan,
chief of the government's air mail
operations, in Omaha today.
Colonel Jordan came to Omaha
from the east yesterday and will
remain in Omaha two or three days
looking over the landing field. He
will determine what will be necessary
in regard to hangers, shops for re
pair" work and terminal facilities.
The colonel has devoted 10 years to
airship work and has had charge ot
installation of air mail service
throughout the east. Talking of the
Omaha-Chicago service he said:
Cpngress Cuts Appropriation.
"If we had the money to go on
with the work, we would extend the
service to Omaha immediately. We
asked congress for $1,600,0) for the
extension of the air mail service
and obtained just one-half of that
sum. Out of the money received, we
have bought 400 airplanes; not the
little 'jitneys,' but machines with a
carrying capacity of 1,500 pounds
each, in addition to the weight of
pilot and engineer.
"I have looked over the Omaha
landing field and find that it meets
all the requirements. There the
hangars and shops will be located,
and it is likely that foundations for
the buildings will be put in this
fall and during the coming winter,
so that next spring we will have
everything in readiness. The Omaha
shops should give employment to
25 to .30 high-class mechanics, be
sides wipers and laborers.
Capacity of 140 Miles.
"Our machines that will go into
the Omaha-Chicago service will
have an average speed schedule of
80 miles an hour, with a speed capa
city of 140 miles.
"Between Chicago and Cleveland
our planes have averaged better
than 100 miles an hour and they
have flown 50,000 miles without ac
cident, or delay.
-i'The Omaha-Chicago trip should
be made in four hours, and it is
possible to cut it to three and one
half hours."
Plane Operation Cheap.
Speaking of the future of the air
plane, Colonel Jordan said: "Within
10 years and possibly within five,
the airplane will be nearly as com
mon as the automobile. Flying is
as safe, or safer than riding an
automobile and the operation -of
the airplane is cheap.
"As airplanes come more into,
general use the cost of transporta
tion through the air will be greatly
reduced and it will not be long un
til they will become the vehicles
for passenger traffic, especially be
tween long distance points.
"Think of an Omaha man jumping
into an airplane in the morning,
going over to Chicago, there trans
acting his business and returning j
home for an early dinner. That's
what is coming and coming within
a shor,t time."
Elephant Substitutes
For Old Apple Tree
How would you like to let "the
bid cat die" from the jaws of a six
ton elephant? According to Victoria
Davenport, prettiest of the scores
of pretty laides who ride on the
Erogram of the mammoth Ringling
rot hers and Barnum & Bailey Com
bined Shows, it is the greatest sport
imaginable. The fair equestrienne
performs the "stunt" with Baldy,
who, next to the famous "Alice," is
the mightiest of all the great herd
of elephants.
Miss Davenport has not gotten
over the days when one of the
greatest joys in life was to swing
from the bough of an old apple
tree. Butapple trees are not often
found on circus lots, and so she
hitcijfS an improvised swing into
Bafay's mouth. As she swings back
and forth the faithful old fellow
gives Ibrth grunts which Miss Dav
enport Vill tell you is the pachyderm
way of singing "Bye-low Baby, in
the Tree-Top." In the main tent,
during the performance, Baldy is
one of the leading actors in that
greatest of all innovations in animal
subjugation the assemblying in
"pyramid" and other formations of
six times as many elephants as have
ever before been presented at one
time.
The circus is to exhibit here Fri
day, August 29, at Twentieth and
Paul streets. .
SHARP ADVANCE
IN PRICE OF FOOD
BY RESTAURANTS
Patrons Now Have to Pay a
Dime for One
Roll.
One of Omaha's big chains of
restaurants took the lead yesterday
in a sharp increase in the prices of
all foodstuffs.
Two eggs, without potatoes, were
listed at 30 cents, an increase of 10
cents in price over not so very long
ago; ham and eggs sold at 45; an
increase of 15 cents.
N A single sweet roll brought a
dime. They used to be three for a
nickel, and still are worth about a
penny when they leave the bakery.
Butter is classed with radium.
None is handed out gratis. If you
want butter on your bread, toast or
rolls, it will cost you a nickel for a
piece the size of a postage stamp.
A glass of milk, raised to a dime
most everywhere recently, has gone
up to 15 cents in many places.
In one restaurant was found a
small steak, potatoes and bread and
butter and coffee retailing for an
even dollar.
, The increase in prices, sprung as
a surprise in most all of the city's
restaurants yesterday, is a death
blow to the ordinary wage earner.
It means hardships in abundance.
ryom the bills of fare now preva
lent, it would cost a couple, married
and without children, $5- a day to
live, without frills.
A family of six would have to have
a drawing account equal to that of a
bank president, if they satisfied
themselves on the food question.
No reasons for the unexpected ad
ditional increase in already profit
eering prices was given by proprie
tors of Omaha's restaurants yester
day. It was believed, however, that the
new increases were the last dig be
fore the government swooped down
upon them.

in an answer to a. petition filed in

that he had stopped payment on a
check tor $1,500 due her in payment
for the store.
Shelves in the store were ap
parently filled with groceries, Rosen

row on each shelf were groceries
and the rows behind were filled
with empty boxes.

Boys Confess to Robbing
South Side Residences
Two juvenile burglars were caught
with the "goods" Tuesday night by
Detective Heller, and Frank Skuba,
12 years old, Fifty-first and Q
streets, and Nathan Marcus, 1943
Vinton street, same age, confessed
that they had robbed the home of
W. A. Van Ornian, Monday. A re
volver, two watches and a locket
were found on Frank, and Nathan
told police where the rings were
hidden under a viaduct.
Both boys have been operating for
some time, they admitted. Recently
they broke into the variety store on
Twenty-fourth and M streets. Their
burglaries were all committed late
at night.
A favorite method of sizing up a
house by the boys has been asking
for a drink. If they found that no
one answered their knocks, they
would enter and leave with pockets
filled.
Mrs. Skuba told police that she
was glad that Frank was arrested,
because she was not able to control
him. She said that he generally
slept out at night. , The boys were
turned over to juvenile authorities.

"The shoes which the retailers will
icll this fall and winter were ordered
60 days ago at advanced prices. Re

hides and leathers will not be re
flected on the general pirblin much
before next spring. There is an ab

shoes, now costs 90 cents per foot,
as against 21 to 26 cents before the

Kid leather in the finished stock

The price was about 45 cents five

But Who Pays Bills?
"Do you realize that the tanners
today are paying 57 cents per pound
for the raw hides? And do you

He stated that men's high grade

An unusual foreign demand for
leathers of all descriptions is given
as one of the reasons for the pre

with rage, tairly sobbed out tne m

realized that something fresh must
have haoDened to arouse her hys
terical anger, and braced myself to
answer her calmly.
"This is Mrs. Graham, Mrs. Stock-
bridge. What can I do for you?
"You can get off the earth, you '
Then followed a string of explosive
insulting epithets which made me
ouiver with rafte and fright lest
some one should overhear her.
It was small comfort to remem
her that bpth the Stockbridge tele
phone and the one at the school
were unlimited lines, with no pos
sibility of an inquisitive party sub
scribed "listening in." The telephone
operators were to be considered.
Of course, I knew that it was
against the rules for them to listen
to conversations, but 1 also knew
that it would be a remarkably well
controlled girl who could refrain
from listening to this conversation
if she caught any word of it while
performing the necessary duly of
assuring herselt that we had secured
our connections.
I would have hung up the receiver
as soon as I heard her first words
had 1 not felt that it was imperative
for me to find out what she meant
to do. She might be planning to
cone to the schoolhouse. If she
were. I decided swiftly that I would
be somewhere else when she ar
rived, preferably as far away as pos
sible. Under Hie stimulus of this pos
sible danger, my wits worked swift
ly. One necessity was imminent. She
must be made to think there was
no one else in the schoolhouse, and
that I was leaving at once. I shiv
ered at the possibility of glum, sus
picious Miss Wines or prim Miss
Pratt coming into the office as they
Milly
Stockbridge s words were distinctly
audible in the room, she was scream
ing so violently into the phone, and
I was thankful, indeed, that the
janitor was busy in another wing,
and the pupils had long been gone.
"Mrs. Stockbridge!" I made my
voice as peremptory and sharp as
possible. "I must rush to get my
train. Besides the janitor is waiting
to lock up the school. So if you
have anything you wish me to do,
tell me quickly."
"Where's that other red-headed
snake?" she demanded.
"Gone." I did not pretend to mis
understand her allusion to Alice
Holcombe. It was no time for un
necessary words.
"Where? Home?"
"No, somewhere on business."!
"Business!" She gave a short,
raucous laugh. "She'll have busi
ness enough to attend to in a day
or two and so will you. Look iji
the papw day after tomorrow, and
see if there isn't something in it
that will interest you strangely."
She laughed hysterically at her '
own quip, then her tone became
frenzied again.
"No, I'll not let you wait for the
papers. I'll just give myself the
pleasure (if telling you now. .I'm
going to sue for divorce tomorrow,

The Estes Manufacturing Co., of Omaha, Neb.,
have perfected and are marketing a Laundry Tablet known as
the Estes Laundry Tablet. This article has proved its merits. It
has been accepted by Grocery Jobbers, retail Grocers, and house
wives as an article that lives up to its advertising. Estes Laundry
Tablets are now ejoying large sales and the confidence of the
public.
However, a smirch has been cast upon our honor
able name and product v
A certain concern doing business under the name
of the M. & S. Chemical Co., and manufacturing a Laundry Tab
let, we have been informed, are endeavoring to use our reputa
tion and name to dispose of their goods.
Our attention has been called to a specific case
where the grocer was informed that the name Estes had been
changed, and that we were now packing 16 tablets in a box.
Under these false pretenses our goods were removed from stock
and the so-called "just as good" Laundry Tablets put in stock.
The said Grocer in turn sold these Laundry Tablets to Estes cus
