1 5 TTTE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: SEPTEMBER 19. 1920. 3,000 Famflies To Be "Moved Out" October 1 Thousands of Leases Expire on That Day, When Oma- . ha Will Go Home x Hunting. . j The rattle of pots and pans, the ominous crash of a mirror, th grat ing sound which means the baby (grand has received another mar all of these and numerous other dis agreeable sounds will soon be ring ing in the ears of Omaha tenants. Ioron October 1 thousands-ef . leases expire. Result: At least 3,000 Omaha families will be plunged into ' that chaotic state- of confusion and desperation commonly known as "moving." Cumbersome wagons, bulging with rolling pins, mattresses, bird cages and other necessities of life, will crawl snail-like along residence streets,., in droves that is, in cara vans. Occasionally a piano will , ( crash to the street when a rough cobblestone interferes, perhaps,, but, after all, it will simply be a repeti tion of moving days in years, yea, in centuries past. The Horror of Moving. For even Adam and Eve once had to move, thus establishing a custom which the race has never dropped. 'Moving day in Omaha this year will present 'unusual perplexities, however, according to Leo Bozell, secretary of the real estate board. wr. tsozeii paints a lurid picture of the Jiorrors of moving, Many is -the family which will set, out for a new apartment this year, only to find, on its arrival, that the deceitful tenant has not va cated, and has no intention of vacat ing, says Mr. Bozell. ,. , . How It Works. . ,"I know of numerous cases where a tenant has notified a landlord of his intention to vacate," sighed Sec retary Bozell, "only to change his iruind at the last mimite, after find ing no other suitable place to move. "If Shakespeare were alive today he could write a successful tragedy on just such cases. Invariably the landlord has: secured a new lessee for his apartment before his present tenant decides not to move. In nine out of 10 cases the new lessee al- ready has given his own landlord notice that he plans ' to move into the apartment to be vacated by the other tenant. "The results are indeed tragic for the landlord, "the tenant who in . tended to move and changed his min,d and-vthe prospective tenant, who, "at the" last minute, finds his new haven has not been vacated. 3,000 Families To Move. "Things are getting to, a state where, after looking about for ,a new location, the tenant retaurns to his- landlord and says: 'Bring, on your rent increase; you can't make me- move.' " : Mr. Bozell estimates ; that 3,0.pQ Omaha families will move on pr aBout October, l. The traffic niana-. ger of the Omaha Van and Storage company says the cost of moving to t tfye, average family Js around $50 JW; '- van charges. In some 'cases it is less, he .says - Other expenses will bring the average cost to fromi $7$ to $100, it is estimated, and at this rate .the total cost of moving day to Omaha ' conmuters ' is nearly $500,000. . Aside front expenses, however, moving day has many undesirable effects, according to those interested in civic advancement. Fall moving takes father away from his work for one, or two. days, cutting into his pay if he toils by the hour and in terfering with his office routine if he is in the white collar class. SeparatesJFriends, It ako interrupts the community spirit that grows best when folks live "nexf door" year after year. The itinerant one spends thousands of dollars for new curtains to, match the woodwork in the new home; ror new furniture to go into "that awkward corner;" and wastes a ton or twp 'of , coal before he gets used to the new furnace, should their new domicile . be a private house, . j x Yet Omaha real estate n)en say the fall and spring hegira, - though it's ".hard on the furniture and father's patience, teally increases the life of homes and apartments. New ten ants usually demand improvements of some sort. They want bathrooms retintcd, boudoirs repapered, so their fiolors won't clash with ! daughter's auburn hair or mother's pink kimoha. Thtje aje 'scores of little improve-: ments demanded by new tenants, which really prolong the life of the property. , V- Moreover, moving day is really a valuable clean-up day for Omaha, say the realtors. " Moonshine Stills in Woods Of Maine Worry Agents Greenville, Me., Sept. 18. Activi ties of federal prohibition agents who have blocked the smuggling of liquor across the Canadian border in this vicinity, though it is reported as still merrilv going on in some other sections, have led to considerable, "mconshining" in the Dine' woods hereabouts. At least, that is the claim of local authorities, who have besrnn a crusade against illegal dis tilling. The authorities here ay that, vhile enforcing the federal prohibi tion law may be up to the United States officials, they are themselves concerned over the effects, of raw liquor on the consumer; hence the local "drive on moonshiners." England Would Put Ban On American Jewel Buyers Chicago, Sept. 18. Strong senti ment has arisen in England, accord ling to cable reports, for a heavy ex port tax to Jre'vent the United States from buying up heirloom jewelry and wprks of art which old families, impoverished by the war, are throw ing on the market, i, America's insatiable demand for p such treasures drained London alone : in the first Viree months of this year r of diamonds and gems valued at $10,796,657 and works of art valued at $2,348,694.

In Front In Exporting of Jewelry Chicago, Aug. 18.
