old BICYCLIST
Gains fame AS
STOCK PAINTER
Charles Hall Remembered as
Former Phenom on Cinder
Path, Now WieIdS
Artists Brush.

Charles R. Hail, Omaha boy"
who gained fame as a bicyclist many
years ago, and who since has gained
fame and fortune as an animal
painter, visited his Omaha friends
yesterday.
He has been painting prize stock
in Iowa during the last few weeks.
H. painted Mabel Jumbo" a prize
boar, owned by Hassler and Hal
ford at Manning, la. This is said
to be the largest animal of the swine
family in the world. He has also
painted prize stock for S. ]. Sher-
man of Ruthland, la.
Exhibited in London.
Some of Mr.. Halls animal paint
ings have been sent to London,
England, for exhibition. He states
that if he could feel that he had
gained sufficient competence
painting commercial pictures, he
would spend the rest of his days
painting wild animals, for that is
where his heart is. He made trip
to the Andes in South America and
while steaming across the highest
lake in the world he. had an OPP
portunity to sketch a group of wild
deer in the most picturesque back
ground imaginable.
On another outing he was on a
steamer plying between Alaska and
Siberia, and while on that trip had
the good fortune to observe two
polar bears in deadly combat over
a dead seal which the weaker of the
bears had slain.
Uses Field Glass.
Through a feld-glass he was able
to draw realistic sketch, which he
completed at his convenience.
"The larger bear watched the
smaller animal kill the seal and then
pounced upon its rival to gain pos
session of the coveted food" re-
lated Mr.. Hall. 1T was terrific
struggle, but of course the larger
bear was the victor"

Realtors on Record
Favoring Bonds for
Paving County Roads

The Real Estate board last week
endorsed the proposed 100000
bond issue for paved roads in Doug
las county with the provision that
the amount to be paved not be speci-
fled.
The board recommended that all
roads paved in Douglas county be
of vitrified brick on a concrete base
of from five to six inches thick.
The boards good roads committee
said the proposed $3,000,000 bond is
sue will not pave the 10l "a miles
that the county commissioners have
laid out, if the~pavement is of brick.
For this reason, the board doesn't
want any designation of the amount
to be paved until it is determined
how many miles the bond issue will
pave with brick
The road committee, of which L,
c. SHOES is chairman, believes in
ferior roads will result if an effort
rs made to pave l0l miles with
100000.

Hastings Says Raise
in Rent on Houses by
Landlord Is Justified

Byron R. Hastings says he be-
lieves tenants will agree that 9 per
cent net, after deducting deprecia-
ton charge is not an unreasonably
high rate of return on residehce
property, and that owners are fully
justified in revising their rental
schedule sufficiently to produce
such results.
Rents on~--fats and detached
houses have not advanced in like
proportion to everything else" he
said. Since repairs are SO much
higher, the owner must receive
more rent"
In a recent bulletin published and
sent out over the United States by
the Alexander Hamilton institute,
list of some 80 to 40 different
items that enter into living ex-
penses, were mentioned. In this
bulletin it was shown that rent has
advanced only 10 per cent, while
the next lowest advance was 80 per
cent, and from that on up TO 100 per
cent"

yidss for 40 instead Of 10 days III
which property owners have a right
to make protest.
The board believes this proposed
law will enable the city commission
to improve Older sections of the
city so they will correspond to up
to-date residence additions that
have been developed recently by
real estate men.
This bill leaves the majority in
power over all public improvement
matters" Chairman Morton of the
boards legislation committee said.
But it will prevent out-of-town
owners of Omaha property from
holding up public Improvements
wanted by those here.
Inside sections of the city should
be as good as those on the out
side. This will enable the city to
bring about that condition"
