To Show, Decline In
High Cost of Living
Omaha is one of the few cities in
which the cost of living has shown
a decline in the last four months, ac
cording to J. M. Gillan, manager of
the industrial department of the
Chamber of Commerce. His reDort
is backed up by that of the federal
government. The decrease since
March 1 has been almost 5 per cent.
Potatoes, sugar, fruit, butter and
eggs fire among the articles falling
in price. Meat has gone up, to
gether with flour. Special sales have
given temporary relief from high
prices of dry goods, the investiga
tion indicates.
Housing 'conditions are reported
te be still unsatisfactory, with no
real relief in s:ght for another year.
Accommodation for almost 1.500
families is urgently needed, it is
said. y

Mr. Seitz first became in:erested
in photoplays as, a scenario writer,
In 1912 he was tngaged to write
plays, and his typewriter turned out
many of the greatest serial suc
cesses. But his interest in -lictures
took him further, and in seeking to
perfect himself in photoplay con
struction he spent much time at the
tudio, with the result that jie scion
developed some ingenious ideas on
ferial production. He then entered
the Itudio as a director and added
to his duties as scenario writer those
of directing Tear! White in her se
lials. -Mildred Davis is going back to
school! That is. she is goinp; to take
up the study of French, music and
dancinp; again. This ambitious un
dertaking, however, is not rMng to
interfere with he? studio work.

he' wpuld be so mad that he wouldn't

cops who arrest one for speeding,
