Warm Wave Nice
For Omahans: Bad
For Coal Dealer
Mild Weather Has Saved Refli
' dents of City Over $300,000
. In Coal Bills in Last
Two Months.
"Fair and warmer" is no comedy
tcr the coal man but those little
words in the weather report dur
ing tfyr last t,wo months have saved
, lne people of Omaha more than
$300,000 in coal bills.
At leas 31.000 tons of coal less
than were used in the corresponding
mouths of last year havebeen con
sumed in the homes, office buildings,
' apartments, stores and public build
j'ners here.
' The blessing of the armistice with
winter has been increased by the
natural result tf lessened demand
tor fuc.! and announcement is now
made that the prices of " coal has
been cut from 50 cents to $1 a ton
in the last week.
"In the mild weather the mines
have accumulated larger supplies,"
said Randall K. Brown of the Coal
Hill Coal company yesterday. "The
car supply also has been increased
"and the public is getting the bene
fit." A table of the estimated conserva
tion of coal gives this result:
In slngt dwellings, tons 25,000
' In npartmrnts' J00
In dotvntown district 5,000
In schools 301
. Total 31,S0t
-were using coal at the rate of about
a ton a week and the conservative
:- . estimate of the saving now is about
h ton each. A real estate agent
handling va number of apartments
v reports that -the savings there has
-ranged,. from 25 to 30 -per cent.. On
one building it was eight tons.
The average for.T50 flat buildings
'ill the citv. he Ijelif-vps. will aninunt
. to six tons each, tr 900 tons in all.
In addition to this economy is a
- , reduction in Cherokee nut coal,
which is quite generally used, from
12 a ton to $11.50'. f

Rurriors of Liquor by
-Plane Cheer Hearts of
Omaha Booze Hounds
. v
Omaha-"booze hounds" saw a
glimmer ot hope in the horizon yey
terday vhen prohibition enforcement
officers stated that it might bepossi
bte to ship a $mall but choice quan
tity of booze into Omaha by airplane
from the Canadian border.
There were a number of "ifs" in
the -way, but while there's booze ir.
the world there's Ttlways a glimmer
of hope. '
The "ifs" include the comparative
ly small quantity of liquor that could
be transported in an airplane; the
high price of airplane liquor; the
Lfact that anyone who can pilot an
airplane can make more money
legitimately and run less risk.
But Assistant Prohibition Super
visor N. B. Miller says sjjch a thing
could be done.
Hence the smile on the face of
Omaha's "booze1 hounds" today.
