they broke into the variety store on
Twenty-fourth and M streets. Their
hurglaries were all committed late

A favorite method of sizing up a
house by the boys has been asking
for a drink If they found that no
one answered their knocks, they
would enter and leave with pockets
filled.
Mrs. Skuba told police that she
was glad that Frank was arrested,
because she was not able to control
him. She said that he generally
slept out at night. The boys were
turned over to juvenile authorities.

that he had stopped payment on a

Shelves in the store were ap-

SHARP ADVANCE
IN PRICE OF FOOD
BY RESTAURANTS
Patrons Now Have to Pay q
Dime for One
Roll.

One of Omaha's big chains OF
restaurants took the lead yesterday
in sharp increase in the prices of
all foodstuffs.
Two eggs, without potatoes, were
listed at 80 cents, all increase of 10
cents in price over not so very long
ago; ham and eggs sold at As; an
increase of IS cents.
y A single sweet roll brought a
dime. They used to be three for a
nickel, and still are worth about a
penny when they leave the bakery.
Butter is classed with radium.
None is handed out gratis. If you
want butter on your bread, toast or
rolls. it will cost you nickel for a
piece the size of a postage stamp.
A glass of milk, raised to dime
most everywhere recently, has gone
up to IS cents in many places.
In one restaurant was found a
small steak, potatoes and bread and
butter and coffee retailing for an
even dollar.
The increase in prices, sprung as
surprise in most all of the city's
restaurants yesterday, is death
blow to the ordinary wage Garner.
1t means hardships in abundance.
From the bills of fare now preva-
lent, it would cost couple, married
and without children. S. day to
live, without frills.
A family of six would have to have
a drawing account equal to that of a
bank president, if they satisfied
themselves on the food question.
No reasons for the unexpected ad-
ditional increase in already profit
eering prices was given by proprie-
tors of Omaha's restaurants yester-
day.
1t was believed, however, that the
new increases were the last dig be-
fore the government swooped down
upon them.

the great need i'll the picture world

women who not only have talent,
but who are willing to train them

authors persist in thinking that this

AIR MAIL ROUTE.
TO OPEN BY may
Chief of U. S. Air Mail Service
Here to Look Over Landing
Site and Ground for
Hangers.

Regular air mail service will be
inaugurated between Omaha and
Chicago not later than May of next
year and if we had the money to go
on with the work and carry out our
plans. we would be in here much
sooner" said Col. John A. Jordan,
chief of the governments air mail
operations, i'll Omaha today.
Colonel Jordan came to Omaha
from the east yesterday and will
remain in Omaha two or three days
looking over the landing field. He
will determine what will be necessary
in regard to hangers, shops for re-
pair work and terminal facilities.
The colonel has devoted 10 years to
airship work and has had charge of
installation of air mail service
throughout the east. Talking OF the
Omaha-Chicago service he said:
Congress Cuts Appropriation.
"If we had the money to go on
with the work, we would extend the
service to Omaha Immediately. We
asked congress for ST 100000 for the
extension of the air mail service
and obtained just one-half of that
sum. Out of the money received, we
have bought 400 airplanes; not the
little 'jitneys,' but machines with a
carrying capacity of $500 pounds
each, in addition to the weight OF
pilot and engineer.
II have looked over the Omaha
landing field and find that it meets
all the requirements. There the
hangers and shops will be located,
and it is likely that foundations for
the buildings will be put in this
fall and during the coming winter,
so that next spring we will have
everything in readiness. The Omaha
shops should give employment to
Is to so high-class mechanics, be-
sides wipers and laborers.
Capacity of 40 Miles.
"Our machines that will go into
the Omaha Chicago service will
have an average speed schedule Of
80 miles an hour. with a speed capa-
city of $40 miles.
Between Chicago and Cleveland
our planes have averaged better
than 100 miles an hour and they
have flown $4,000 miles without &C
cident, or delay.
1.-The Omaha Chicago trip should
be made in four hours. and it is
possible to cut it to three and one
half hours
Plane Operation Cheap.
Speaking of the future of the air
plane, Colonel Jordan said: Within
10 years and possibly within five.
the airplane will be nearly as COM
mon as the automobile. Flying is
as safe. or safer than riding an
automobile and the operation of
the airplane is cheap.
"As airplanes come more into.
general use, the cost of transporter
ton through the air will be greatly
reduced and it will not be long un-
til they will become the vehicles
for passenger traffic, especially be-
tween long distance points.
Think of an Omaha man jumping
into all airplane in the morning,
going over to Chicago, there trans
acting his business and returning
home for an early dinner That's

YE GODS! WOMEN'S
SHOES WILL COST
$50 THIS WINTER
And They Sold at $3.50 Per
Pair Before the
War.

Women's fall and winter footwear
will be offered in Omaha tor SIS and
$50 per pair, according to O. v. Law
yer, secretary of F. P. kirkendall
and Co., who has just returned from
trip through the east.
"These prices refer to women's
high grade, hand turned, covered
heel boots. made of kid leather" he
explained. These shoes before the
war sold for about $3.50 per pair.
Cheap shoes for men and women this
fall will retail for $40 to $l2 per pair.
Where's the Shortage?
"The shoes which the retailers will
sell this fall and winter were ordered
90 days ago at advanced prices. Re-
auctions which may occur this fall in
hides and feathers viii not be re-
hected on the general public much
before next spring. There is all alb
solute shortage of hides, belief to
the contrary Notwithstanding"
Mr.. Lawyer stated that black side
leather, which is used in the manu-
facture of mems medlum-priced
shoes, now costs 20 cents pei foot,
as against 81 to 20 cents before the
war.
Kid leather in the finished stock
is quoted at $1.25 to $l65 per foot
The price was about IS cents five
years ago.
But Who Pays Bills?
do you realize that the tanners
today are paying 81 cents per pound
for the raw hides? And do you
know that % or "a cents was con-
sdered high price for hides be-
fore the WARP" Mr.. Lawyer asked.
He stated that mems high grade
calf skin shoes will be $40 this sea
son, as against SO to $l2 few years
ago.
An unusual foreign demand for
feathers OF all descriptions is given
as one of the reasons for the pre-
vailing high prices of shoes.
