A glance over Omaha's business record for 1919 of
fers conclusive evidence that this city made substantial
gains in line of activity and there reason to be-
eve that the Gate City of the west will continue to take
long forward strides this year.

surprising in respects showing increases beyond the
expectations of the most optimistic persons and all of this
comes out of filed with many business perpexes
The most notable gain of the year was made in the
jobbng business, which reached total of more than
S3o3O0oOOO an increase OF 43 per cent 1913 and
twice the volume of business of 1916 This indicates the

Citizens Welcome the New
Year With Gladstone Din and
Hail Of Good Cheer; Cafes
Theaters and Homes AbIaze.
WATCH PARTIES HOLD
SERVICES IN CHURCHES
Special Programs at Theaters
Dancing Throughout City
Horse Play Antics Are
NoticeabIy Lacking.

Omaha jubilantly, but not hilari-
ously, sped the old year on its way
and welcomed the advent of the new
upon the threshold of time at mid
night last night. The dancers were
as gay as in former years, the halls
Of new years greeting as loud and
the laughter as carefree, the only
discernible difference between the
celebration and that of bygone days
being that hilarity and registering
did not extend to jostling crowds
upon the streets and table dancing
and other unseemly exhibitions in
the cafes.
To be sure, there were evidences
that a trifle of exhilarating nectar
spiced the joyousness Of some, but
there was noticeable absence of
those horse-play antics which pass
the boundaries Of freedom and ex-
tend into the purlieus Of license.
Was a Big Night.
II was big night, with joy TN
confined, but not explosive. The
lights burned brightly until 1920 was
at least two hours old, cabarets
throbbed until early-morning risers
began demanding breakfast, theatesrs,
legitimate and moving picture. IA
tered to large crowds with extra
shows until well beyond midnight.
and private parties disbanded reluc-
tantly.
II larger hotels, cafes and clubs
were examples OF what was going
OH everywhere, Omaha literally
danced the old year out and the rev
year in. Everywhere there was
dancing. At the Hotel Fontenelle
the great ballroom was crowded, the
lobby was cleared away for dancers
and tables on the rnezzarine floor
for diners
At midnight 4 large floral ball i'll
the lobby was lighted and guests
stood silent as 1920 was ushered in.
Dances and stunts were also in
order at the Hotels Rome, Castle
aud Loyal, and the Henshaw cafe
was the scene OF merry dancing
parties.
Programs at Theaters.
At the Ratio and Strand theaters
special programs of music, dancing
and pictures attracted crowds. The
proceeds of these midnight enter
tainments will be given to children
~ +ba &C., M;ee:o,
Many churches held watch par
ties" last night, combining social
pleasures with devotional exercises.
And so. with a bit of charity,
many solemn religious services, an
unknown number of good resolu-
tions, and much hilarity Omaha well
coined 1920. When clocks neared
the hour of II whistles began to
blow, bells to ring, chimes to play
and guns to be fired. There were
shouts of hilarity, but they were
joyous shouts, for Omaha looks for
ward to the new year with op-
tlmisn.
The din lasted at least IS min
utes. When it had subsidized inter-
rupted dances began again and mer-
riment continued, for today is holi-
day and what matters late or carly
hours on holiday.
Special dancing parties were held
at the Omaha and Athletic clubs,
Kelpine's Dancing academy, Fort
Omaha, the University club, Pret-
tiest Mile club, Strehlow Terrace
club house and dozens OF private
dancing parties were given. Every
available dance hall was crowded
with dancers and jazz artists were
to be had only at a nre1niun1.

Chicago, Dec. 81. - Chicago's
greeting to 1920 was not without
alcoholic cheer. An llth hour or
der by Chief of Police Garrity IA
vorable to "hip liquor" gave Chicago
final New Year fling.
The lid was not entirely off, but
it was inclined at such an angle that
the celebrating public did not care.
c<ef Garrity ordered that no ar
rests should be made for carrying
hip" liquor. Policemen assigned
to cafes were instructed to take the
names of law violators.
Varied Welcome.
New York, Dec. 31.-The New

newcomer was welcomed by the
private stockholding classes with
all the exuberance Of days when
prohibition was a reformer's dream.
The exuberance of the private
stockle>s citizens was, however, de-
cidediy restrained. The customary
crowds thronged Broadway, but the
cowbells and horns, which formerly
threatened the eardrums Of every
one, were much modulated and there
was little horseplay.
