An Eighteen Year Old Girl,

How much should an 1s-year-
old girl five feet and three inches
tall weigh? E. W. c.
Answer-120 pounds is the nor
NAL average. Any weight up to
1872 pounds is favorable and be-
coming to a girl of that age. Any
weight below 100 signifies that she
must get to bed earlier nights. She
needs sleep and exercise.

ANTIQUES BRING RECORD PRICES

London, June 20.-The enormous
fortunes made in England during the
war are responsible for record-break-
ing pricves which sellers of antiques
of every kind are realizing in London
auction rooms, in the opinion Of men
who have long been close to the
trade. The whole country is being
searched for treasures of all kinds
which find ready sale at prices which
hitherto have only been paid by for
eigners.
A mysterious portrait which re-
Gently appeared in one auction room
and was said by some to have been
by Franz Halls, quickly brought $780,
600, although its authenticity has even
now not been established. A Reyn-
Odds portrait which to the present had
not attracted much attention was
easily sold for $4,000, and pictures
by much lesser lights brought phe-
nomenal prices.
Artistic furniture is in even more
demand. Six Chippendale Gothic
chairs recently sold at country sale
fol. $5,125, in spite Of the fact that
modern artists are copying this par
ticular design with marked success
and only the trained expert can de-
tect the difference. At another coun-
try sale two Chippendale tables
brought $1,000 and Chippendale
cabinet $6,25O.
Sheraton furniture is not SO popu-
lar, excellent tables going as low as
500. An old harpsichord in q Will
liam and Mary case sold for $4,000,

and a grandfather's clock gave its
fortunate owner $500 in spite Of the
fact that the clock had probably
ceased to tick more than a hundred
years ago.

OMAHA MEDICAL
BUILDING TO Be
DOCTORS HOME
Eyes Of Country to Be Turned
Toward Omaha When
Exclusive Structure
Is Completed.

The Omaha Medical building,
which will be erected at the south
east corner of Seventeenth and
Dodge streets, will be the last word
in medical building construction. 1t
will embrace utility as we'll as archi-
tectural beauty, and it will be one of
the business centers of Omaha.
The site was owned for many
years by Elmer Neville. who recent
ly sold it to Joseph Hayden for
100000. There is a frontage of IS
feet on Dodge street and 1872 feet on
Seventeenth street, and it is under
stood by the promoters that if add
tional property is needed Mr.. Hay
den will sell part of tract east of
the site already acquired.
The new medical building will be
erected by syndicate of Omaha
men, which embrace the interests OF
Omaha daily bee., 1919-05-25

Brandeis stores, Hayden Bros.
Home Builders and the Nebraska
National bank. Tentative plans call
tor not less than Is stories, and it is
probable that the building may &c
to 20 stories.
DR.. w. P. Wherry Is president OF
company which will control the
building, and w. A. Schall is chair
man OF the building committee. Oc-
cupants in rooms above the first
floor will be exclusively men of the
medical profession, with allied bust
nesses and activities. Applications
already received for office space in
dictate that every room will be en-
gagged. The estimated cost of the
building will be $l,750,000.
Among the construction features
of the building will be lecture room
for physicians and dentists. In this
room visiting members of the pro-
fession will deliver addresses, and
various meetings of professional in
terest will be held. There will be
nursery for the accommodation of
mothers who visit the physicians
and dentists. A night operator will
keep a record of the whereabouts Of
tenants of the building, this service
for the benefit of patients and the
general public. Calls will go through
her exchange, and she will summon
those who are called.
Another important feature will be
an emergency operating room. A
barber shop and cafeteria will be
included. The roof will serve for
sightseeing purposes.
