Many New Homes
Being Built in
City This Year
Major Portion of Construction
Is By Individuals Who
Have Purchased Property
For This Purpose.
The building of new homes which
started in Omaha on a small scale
about five months ago has htxn in
creasing steadily since that time and
persons in close touch with die
building situation predict tbit the
campaign will continue growii.q until
building is stopped by the cold
weather.
A large amount of the building
this year is being done by and for
private individuals who in ihc last
few years have bought lots with the
ultimate object of building homes on
them.
While much of the actual building
operation has been done under the
direction of realtors and other gen
eral contractors, it is done in a large
measure directly for owners.
A lot owner for instance, will go
to a realtor with his plans and let
the contract for a house direct.
It is estimated that 1,000 homes
will have been built in Omaha this
year.
One of the loan companies, the
Omaha Loan and Building associa
tion, has financed this year 278 new
houses, ranging in price from $4,500
to $7,000.
Other loan associations have
financed corresponding numbers of
homes.
In addition to the financing that is
being done by the loan companies
and associations, considerable build
ing is being financed this year by
private individuals.
Building that has been done by
private individuals has not taken the
place of building that is usually
Cone by realtor's and other general
contractors. It is merely an addi
tional amount of building.
Persons in touch with the housing
situation are confident that another
year or two of building suc'i as is
being done this year will effect
definite relief in the housing sit
uation in Omaha.

tect. Says Omaha Is Best City
For Paying Investment
John R. Tripp, a heavy property
owner of Sioux City, New Orleans
and Los Angeles, who came here
three months ago, believes that
Omaha 'is the best city in the coun
try for investment and has decided
to remain here permanently.
Mr. Tripp has erected eight new
houses, two stores and one double
flat in the vicinity of Twenty-fourth
and Pinkney streets, all for rental
purposes. He will do other building
in that locality as well as in other
parts of the city. Mr. Tripp pur
chased more ground in the vicinity
of Ifis present buildings.
The Married
Warren Is Threatened With Ap
pendicitis and Helen Has a
Hectic Night ,
"What've you got here?" Warren
carved into the obdurate roast
chieken. "An old rooster? Tough
as sole leather."
"I'm afraid it isn't cooked
enough." Helen was nervosuly
apologetic. "They delivered it so
late. This is the last month I'm go
ing to deal with Borglan. They
won t deliver on time.
"Jove, that pain again!" dropping
the carving knife with a grimace.
"Dear, it must be indigestion. I
wanted you to take some hot water
before dinner."
''You don't get indigestion on
just one side of your stomach,
helping himse.lf liberally to the egg
plant, ihen with a seriousness
with which he always regarded his
slightest ailment, "Wonder if it
could be my kidneys? 1 hat s what
took poor old Barclay off."
Why, it couldnt be you d have
the pain in your back. Annie," to
the new maid, "hereafter always
serve eggplant in side dishes.''
"Whats the matter with this
corn?" grumbled Warren. "Hard
enough to shell.
"Try this piece, Helen selected
another steaming ear.
"Ow."
"That oain aeain? Dear, I
wouldn't eat any corn. It's so indi
gestible."
"Well, 1 ve got someining a
darned sight more serious than in
digestion. If this keeps on I'm go
ing to call up L-'r. ivcuy aner
dinner."
However, the intermittent pains
did not interfere with Warren's ap
petite. He dispatched a second joint
and a large portion of the breast,
two helpings of egg-plant, an ear
and a half of corn, some romaine
and tomato salad, and a saucer of
prune whip covered with thick
cream.
"Aren't you going to eat that?
for Helen had barely touched her
dessert. "Then shove it oyer." .
"Oh, that's so rich! And jou're
not well. I wo ildn't eat any more
tonight if I were you."
"Now none of your starvation
treatment for me! If you don't feel
well, stoke up. Give your stomach
something to work on."
The rest of the evening seemed to
justify Warren's theory. Apparent
ly, his stomach was fully occupied
in digesting his dinner, for there
were no more pains. .
It was not until they were getting
ready for bed that a profane excla
mation announced a recurring
twinge. .
"Dear, take a little castor oil it
can't hurt you." Helen was folding
up the freshly laundered spread.
Huh, you re lorevcr trying iu
dose me up with hot water and cas
tor oil. Now if I have any more
pains I'm going to call up Dr.
Kelly" , ,
"You'll not have any more! Helen
tried to say it with conviction. "Just
believe you'll not! And get a good
night's rest that always helps."
Hardly had she turned off the
light before Warren was so-und
asleep. Gazing at the shadow
flecked waH, she began to worry.
What if it were appendicitis? She
had not dared voice that fear, not
only because it was unscientific, but
because Warren was always ready to
take his slightest ill too seriously.
And yet, if it were appendicitis no
time should be lost. Mrs. Windsor
had died under the operation because
she had ignored the first warning
pains.
And Mrs. Drake! They had
rushed her to the hospital at mid
night and operated at 3 o'clock in
the morning. The doctors said her
appendix was badly infected in an
other hour the poison would have
gone through her system.

Life of Helen
By Mabel Herbert Urner
between her determination to deny
all disease and her lurking fear that
she had deliberately ignored.
When she finally drowsed off it
was to a troubled dream. She was
wandering along a strange stre-t
looking for Warren. Then she saw
him far ahead, but he did not hear
her call. Her feet seemed weighted
she could not run. She could not
reach him she could not make him
heart
She awoke to find the light on,
and Warren sitting up in bed. ,
"You know what I've got?" grim
ly. "Appendicitis!"
"Oh, no no, dear, it couldn't be!
Don't hold that thought."
"Now just chuck that "thought"
business and call tip Dr. Kelly."
"But, Warren, it's after 1. Ought
we to get him out this late un
less we're sure?"
"What're you trying to do?' Save
a few do.llars? Want to wait till I
croak? Wow! There it is again!
Now you get him hers quick as
you can."
The next moment Helen was in
the library calling Dr. Kelly's resi
dence. "When will he be back?" tensely.
. . . "As soon as he comes in
tell him Mr. Curtis is threatened
with appendicitis. Have him come
at once!"
"Dear, he's out on a case," run
ning back to the bedroom. "But
he's expected home any moment
they'll send him right over. Oh, is
it very bad?"
"Getting worse every minute.
Why in blazes didn't we think of
appendicitis?"
"I did," guiltily. "But I didn't
want to hold that thought over you.
And I wasn't sure which side it
was on."
"Left, of course! It's got to be.
That's where I've got this pain."
"Wait, I'll look it up in the dic
tionary just to be sure."
Bringing the dictionary to the bed,
she turned hastily to appendicitis.
But the definition was briefly un
enlightening: "Inflammation of the
vermiform appendix."
"Look under that," grunted War
ren giving his pillow a disgusted
punch.
Helen waded through a quarter of
a column of fine-typed Latin deriva
tives under appendix, before she
came to vermiform appendix.
"A blind process given off from
the caecum, varyin- in man from
3 to 6 inches in length."
"But it doesn't say which side.
Oh, I know I'll look it up in that
old doctor book. That alwavs gives
everything."
"Huh, they never heard of appen
dicitis when that was printed."
Warren was right. The bulky old
"Family Physician" had nothing be
tween apoplexy and asthma. Until
within the last few years people lived
and died serenely unconscious of
their appendix. '
"See here, that doctor coming or
not?" writhing under another pain.
"Lie down, dear," adjusting his pil
lows. "That may make it easier. Oh,
Warren, you don't think it'll mean an
operation?"
"Guess I'm in for it," grimly.
"Don't relish being carved up.
Tough luck,,' but we've got to face
it." - '
"Dear, it may not be that bad,"
tremulously.
"I've a hunch they'll ship me to a
hospital tonight. Now we'd better
plan while we've time.- You'll have
to have some money I'll give yon
a blank check. Phone Carrie and
mother and the office first thing in
the morning."
"Oh, don't talk like that! I can't
bear it," clinging to him tearfully.
"There it is again!" clutching his
left side. "Got it bad, I tell you.
Knew it was serious all along. Get
my check book. Wait, there's one
here."
Taking a folding check book and

and Warren
a fountain pen from his coat that
hung on the chair by the bed, War
ren signed two blank checks.
"Now don't leave these lying
around," tearing them out. "Put
them away right now. If I go to
the hospital tonight, you have Law
rence go down to the office tomor
row and see Miss Carter. She's
pretty capable but there may be
something she'll want to ask about."
"There he is now!" throwing on a
kimona, Helen flew to answer the
bell.
"Good morning,' curtly. "Shall I
go right in?"
"Oh, yes, Doctor. The pains are
growing worse. Oh, I hope it
doesn't mean an operation! It
doesn't always, does it?"
Ignoring her flutterinu questions.
the doctor strode into the bedroom
and greeted Warren with a brusque.
"Well, what's the trouble?"
"I'm afraid it's appendicitis, Doc
tor." "Urn, we'll see about that. Turn
oyer on your back. Mrs. Curtis,
will you sterilize this thermometer?
Just put it in boiling water.''
Hurrying to the kitchen, Helen
felt it was an excuse to get her out
of the room Desperately anxious
as to the verdict, she turned on the
gas, boiled a cupful of water and
immersed the tiny glass tube.
She hoped Dr. Kelly would be
tactful and not antagonize Warren.
Always rather crabbed, . he was
more so when called out late at
night. It was only because War
ren's family had had him for years
that his crustiness was tolerated.
When she ran back to the bedroom
with the sterilized thermometer the
doctor was closing his instrument
case. Instead of placing the ther
mometer in Warren's mouth she
thrust it into his pocket.
"Have this filled in the morning,'
scrawling a brief prescription.
"In the manning?" breathed Helen.
"Oh, then it's not serious? There
won't have to be an operation?"
"We don't operate for stomach
ache. Mr. Curtis has been over
eating again. If he'd take less food
this hot weather he'd feel better."
"And you're sure it's not appendi

"The appendix is usually on the
right side," sarcastically, "though Mr.
Curtis seems to think his is on the
left. Just plain indigestion. If you've
got any castor oil in the house eive

"We ought to be so thankful. 111

explosively. "I'll not take the rot

Buys Three Lots
John Happe, contractor, last week
purchased three more lots and will
begin erecting homes on them at
once. Mr. Happe has built and sold
eight new houses this year and prob
ably will build several more this
fall. All the building this year has
been in the west part of the city.
Here's Diversion:
Getting Inside on
Tram Rate Case
City Corporation Counsel
Finds Entertainment in Un
raveling Mathematical Maze
for Hearing Sept. 12.
An interesting warm weather di
version is poring over a physical
valuation exhibit in a traction rate
case, according to Corporation Coun
sel W. C. Lambert, recently returned
from his annual piscatorial pursuits.
He is now engaged in preparing for
the resumption of the street car rate
case before the slate railway com
mitsion here ' on September 12.
Modern methods of arriving at
physical valuations are, so filled with
vagaries and intricacies that the or
dinary lay mind stands aghast in
contemplation of the array of fig
ures which are offered. The plain
seeker after truth is firnt told that
he should differentiate between "val
uation" and "investment," and to
remember that the valuation of an
article or a public utility today may
be considerably less or more than
the actual investment of dollars and
cents.
Innocent Bystander Told.
Then the innocent bystander is
told about the condition per cent
of physical property," and is in
formed that: "No utility property
can remain in a condition new; that
it is economically unwise to maintain
that condition; that the property
sags to a physical condition of ap
proximately 85 to 90 per cent of new,
which is said to be the normal con
dition and which will render 100 per
cent service efficiency."
The next revelation of this mys
tic maze of mathematics is "going
concern value." The ordinary mind
at once visualizes a going concern
to be an automobile or other mov
ing object. In public utility valu
ation parlance going concern in
cludes good will, early losses in es
tablishing the business. It is re
ferred to as an intangible value and
is added to the physical valuation
to obtain the total valuation as of
any given date.
"Reproduction Cost New."
"Reproduction cost new" is the
next phase that is presented .for di
gestion. It is asserted by th(j ex
perts thaf reproduction cost new
valuation predicates a period during
which a plant would be under con
struction, with money tied up dur
ing a non-productive period. In arriv
ing at a reproduction cost new valu
ation, prices of materials and cost
of labor are applied as of a particu
lar date. .
The reproduction cost new method
goes back to the inception of a plant,
including the costs of "little as
semblages and discussions at the be
ginning," drafting of plans, obtaining
franchises, articles of incorporation,
options on property and other items.
In that connection the following is
a verbatim extract from the testi
mony in the street railway rate case
before the State Railway commis
sion in Omaha a few months ago:
Explained in Detail.
Q. Now prior to entering upon
the construction period would any
work have to be done and money
expended in promoting the enter
prise? A. Yes, sir, there would.
Q. Will you explain in as much
detail as possible?
A. There would have to be meet
ings of course called by the man
who conceived the project, for the
purpose of interesting others with
him, and there would have to be
nuttings with lawyers to diaw arti
cles of incorporation. The articles
would have :o be filed, then would
have tr. be a f;l:ng fee, and there
would have to t'C much tims spent
by the officers following the organ
isation in stalling the necessary
tr?nchises aid having ordinances
passed, getr ng permission to sell se
curities ani the actual negotiation of
tin. securif's. That would '"evolve
in addition 10 the salaries of the offi
cers, traveling cpenses and other
expenses."
"Bare Bones Lost."
The "bare bones cost," is another
little pet expression of the physical
valuation conjurors. This form of
cost computation means what a plant
would cost without considering any
of the intangible items of valuation,
such as engineering, superintendence,
contingencies, law expenditures, in
terest and taxes during construction,
organization and development, cost
of financing, promotion remunera
tion, franchises and going concern
value.
"Putting the collar marks on the
mule," is another familiar expression
of the experts. Assuming there is a
utility plant ready ready for opera
tion, to make it productive there must
be added working capital, materials
and suoolies accounts, and other
items which investors must supply
in advance of collections for the out
put of the plant. That is "putting
the collar marks on the mule."

Black Gowns
Replace Gay
Colors in Europe
Sable Is Adopted as Feminine
Europe Probably as Reac
tion Against Gaudy Armis
tice Period Colors.
Paris, Aug. 27. All feminine Eu
rope is suddenly turning to black
gowns and the woman who flaunts
bright colors feels distinctly out of
place.
The running of the Prix de Di
ane at the reopening of the Chan
tilly race course was the most fash
ionable event of the summer on the
continent. Promenading before the
stands were thousands of the elite
of Paris, London, New York and
scores of other cities and fully 90
per cent of them were in black. The
wave of sombreness has struck Ber
lin, Rome, Vienna and all other Eu
ropean capitals.
Edouard Ponti, noted French writ
er, thinks he knows the reason why.
"It is not a measure of economy.
Women are spending more money
in Europe than at any time, except
ing the period immediately following
the conclusion of peace.
"It is simply the natural reaction
against the wave of jazz band
gayety that followed the armistice
when everything was brightly col
ored. It is a historical fact that
some mysterious link connects wom
en's fashions with the prevailing at
titude of the public mind. After the
armistice, noise, champagne, reds
and yellows. Today sober second
thought and realization that the
world is still full of trouble, less
noise and dancing, sombre gowns."
