Builders Waiting
for Lower Price
Are Decreasing
Contractor Says Cost Of Ma
terial, Freight and Labor
Prevent an Early
Drop.

Now IS the time to build if best
prices for material are to be obtained
In the opinion of A. C. Busk, con-
tractor.
Spring building promises to be
good" Busk said, but there are q
number of prospective builders who
have expressed a determination to
postpone building until after drop
IN the price of material and labor.
There Is no hope of such a drop
soon. Things can't be judged now
on their former cost. 1t was possible
to buy lumber at a fairly low figure,
but that was before it cost so much
for freight, when there was a greater
supply of timber and when it cost
much less to produce and handle the
material.
Just now 1t costs more for freight
than 1t did for the lumber in. those
days. Labor is higher. and should
be. All things taken into consider
alton 1t Is evident that prices are not
going to be less soon.
'I have known people to refuse
to build until after a reduction in
the price of material and later wish
they had not waited"
Busk declared that builders are
rapidly becoming more willing to
build. regardless of price. than at
any time for several years.

Coal Dealers
Say Strike in
April Doubtful
Operators Are Not Expecting
Trouble in Signing New Con-
tract-Industry Would
Suffer Most.

Omaha coal dealers are not suffer
ing dualms just over the possibilities
of n strike on April /, when the con-
tracts between mine owners ana
workers will expire. The general
opinion seems to be that there will be
no strike. In any event. the dealers
are not borrowing trouble.
The mine owners recently held a
conference in Florida and considered
the probability of the men demanding
a five.vear contract on the present
scale. The owners will propose a re-
newal of the contract for another
year and feel confident the men will
accept.
No Strike Expected.
Randall *. Brown Of the Coal Hill
Coal company. who has watched the
situation closely. offered this state
ment yesterday:
THE general opinion OF the oper.
ators is that there will be no strike.
The price of coal at the union mines
is too high because their operation
is based on a weeks wage for about
half a weeks work. The nonunion
mines In Kentucky. West Virginia
and other states are operating on
full time and are able TO undersell
the union mines. The result is that
the nonnnion mines are getting a
steadily increasing percentage of the
busines. It is my belief that the
union miners realize they are being
paid the highest possible scale"
Brown added that Omaha dealers
are not loading themselves with un-
usual quantities of coal. because
they do not believe they will have
to face strike situation.
''No One Knows"
Ray Goddard of the Goddard Fuel
company is Of the opinion that no
one knows just what may occur in
the coal situation on April l.
There are as many opinions about
the coal situation as there are about
Teapot Dome" Goddard said. 1T is
Impossible to tell in February what
may happen in April. A strike in
April would have little effect on the
domestic supply Of coal. but would
affect the industrial supply"
Goddard indicated that coal men
are not manifesting any anxiety over
the coal situation that may develop
on April /.

Balloon Tires
Do Not Cause
"Shimmying'
Due 10 Vibrating Action of
Front Wheels at Various.
Speeds-Easily
Remedied.

In spite Of the fact that balloon
tires accentuate "shimmying OF
front wheels, these tires do not cause
the shimmy, according to J. E. Hale,
engineer OF the Firestone Tire and
Rubber company.
1T is merely a vibrating action
which takes place in the front wheels
at various speeds. and is due either
to loose joints or worn bushings in
the steering linkage or an unbalanced
condition Of the wheels.
THE former takes place at any
speed 10 miles an hour and can be
removed by overhauling and adjust
ing the steering linkage. Shimmying
above 30 miles an hour may be
remedied by putting the wheels in
proper balance and alignment

Stomllzing Method
Renews Cylinders

Tile cylinders may truthfully be
said to be the most important part
Of a motor car. for in them is pro-
duced the driving force that propels
the car.
No matter how carefully other
service work is done. IL the cylinders
remain in their worn or scored con-
dition or IL they are improperly. re-
paired, oil will leak by and the COM
preston will escape leaving the motor
weak, wasteful and unsatisfactory.
The Stormizing method introduced
by the storm Manufacturing com
pany of Minneapolis is the latest de-
ve1opment in this field and marks an
epoch in the manufacture Of cylin-
der renewing equipment.
It brings to the service shop latest
approved factory methods and pre-
cision. 1t gives the shop a precise
method of greatest possible efficiency
for handling any and all classes Of
cylinder renewin gat minimum labor
cost.

the value OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Few People Know How Useful Ii Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
Ia the safest and most efficient disinfectant
and purifier in nature, but few realize its
value when properly prepared and taken
into the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of IL the better; It is not n drug
at ALL but simply absorbs the gases and
impurities always present In the stomach
and intestines and carries them out OF the
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, and after eating onions and
other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion, it whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartc.
1t absorbs the Injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: 1t dis
infects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one form

beauty OF 1t is that no possible harm can

Gone are the days of real estate
men," Now 1t is real estate
dealer" because women are In the
business.
Omaha boasts four of them: Sarah
G.. Norton, Mabel G. Clany. Lydia E.
Buck and Alice F. Nelson.
All of the women are active, and
long ago the men learned to respect
their selling ability. Some of the men
say it is not selling ability" But
be that as it may, the women sell.
Sarah Norton has centered her ac-
tivities on farm lands. The first at
tention she paid to real estate was in
1910, when she homesteaded a place
in Colorado. She was teaching school
at that time and sold real estate dur
ing the vacation period. Later she
began to devote all her time to the
projects. She now owns, and man.
ages. a big ranch in Holt county and
three farms in Iowa.

Alice f. Nelson left her place in
the county clerks office to enter the
real estate firm OF Gallagher &
Nelson in 1908 and has been selling
every kind of real estate since. She
has specialized in homes, but often
turns to business properties and farm
lands.

to want to save steps in home" she
said. mo man can ever imagine
what those steps are and would never
