, Jingle Toasts Reveal Wealth of Talent Here 262 Entries Received in Con test; Free Tickets Mailed to 25 Winners. Omaha may well be proud of her jingle composers. The contest conducted by The Omaha Bee and the management of the Strand theater In which 50 free tickets to Gloria Swanson’s latest Paramount picture, “Manhandled,” which opens a week’s run at the Strand today, were awarded to the best Jingle toasts to Glorious Gloria, has divulged a wealth of talent who needed only the urge to display theli ability In penning verse. Considering the brevity of the time the contest ran, the response was all that could be anticipated. Exactly 262 toasts were received at The Oma ha Bee office up to noon Saturday, the “dead line.” Only 25 of that number were se lected by the Judges for the awards. There were at least 100 of a com mendatory nature, but a contest is a contest and those who failed to land among the winners this time must bide their time until the opportunity again avails. The following jingle toast to Miss , Swanson, composed by Miss Harriet Banan, 4905 Webster street, was awarded first prize of two free tickets to “Manhandled” at the Strand and a personally autographed photo of Gloria: Sere’s to Gloria Swanson, The Paramount star we admire, May her beauty and art—enslave every heart. Through the years Is our earnest desire. More than 20 were given considera tion for the capital prize. And just think of It girls, more answers were received from the men than the fair eex. Maybe the girls would rather toast Thomas Meighan or Rudolph Valentino. Here are the other 24 winners of free tickets to “Manhandled” and who have been mailed their spoils: Mary McGrath. 2823 Franklin; George Rowley, 3722 North Thirty-seventh: Alex McKle, 2485 North Forty-seventh; Edgar Jenks.

Studebaker to Operate Own Store Here W. A. Hall. One of the most Important changes on automobile row was made recently when the Studebaker Corporation of America established its own retail store and service at 2550 Farnam street. , It will be the intention of the Stude baker corporation to offer to its owners and prospective owners the highest type of service, which is made possible through the expert attention given each owner by highly trained factory representatives and me chanics. The retail operation will be un der the management of W. A. Hall, who comes to Omaha direct from the home office. Hall’s wide automobile experience particularly qualifies him for the management of this retail store, F. D. Phillips, branch manager, whose organization will continue wholesale activities, will be able to offer even closer co-operation than heretofore. This refers particularly to the fact that the Studebaker cor poration handles its own retail de ferred payment financing. The unlimited factory facilities will permit many changes in the methods ( of handling sales and service, w;hich will be of a decided advantage to Studebaker owners. Mr. Bonney for the O. N.

Ice Cream Feast Given Two Hundred Youngsters at Gifford Playground by 10th Ward Improvement Club I Interest in the Gifford playground at Thirty-third and Cass streets is being promoted by the Tenth Ward Improvement club, under the leader ship of Frank A. Johnson, president, and a group of active men and wo men of the neighborhood. These residents believe that a pub lic playground can be made to serve as a substantial asset in a com munity, by directing the boys and girls along lines of w'holesome and heathful play activities. Last week the youngsters were as sembled at the playground for an ice cream treat under the auspices of the Improvement club. Nearly 200 kiddies responded. They were urged to make the most of their play ground which is attended by a paid supervisor of the public playground system. This occasion was the formal opening of the playground for the season. On the opening commit tee were M. E. Larson, Mrs. R. E. McKelvey, Mrs. H. T. Jones, J. B Hummel, commissioner In charge of parks and playgrounds; J. N. Camp | belt, C. R. Root end Mrs. R. H. Blanchard, play supervisor. A group of these happy boys and girls was snapped by The Omaha Bee camera man. In the background of the picture are Mr. Johnson, presi dent of the club; Mr. Larson, Mrs. Blanchard and Mrs. Mary Schamel, substitute play supervisor.

Chrysler Says MaxwellNowExcels A tnAIldTm|MA In the four-cylinder field, the good Maxwell is now I11UIIV iyilly duplicating the revolutionary results which the Chrysler Six has already registered among the sixes. That in brief is the story of the recent developments accomplished in the Maxwell and the Chrysler engineer jng staff—which, in my opinion, now stamp the Maxwell a most remarkable four-cylinder car. These new results are so vital and so valuable that they put the good Maxwell far beyond your previous conception of four-cylinder possibilities. Have you ever driven a four-cylinder car in w’hich the last noticeable trace of vibration is gone Z Well, that’s what you’ll find in the good Maxw ell of today, with its floating platform spring suspension of the motor. The first four-cylinder car, wre believe, in which vibration is practically eliminated, giving greater comfort to those in the car and far longer life to the car itself. 1 don’t know that you can appreciate how much this means in new steering and handling and riding ease unless you. experience it in the good Maxwell yourself. And if you ride in a closed Maxwell, you’ll be glad to miss the annoy* ' ing rumble you’ve always found in closed cars. These, of course, are the differences you would notice first. But they are not alL As you go along, you will find the Maxwell riding die way you thought only far heavier cars could ride, and display ing a nimbleness that makes you wonder why anyonfl _ ^ w ants more than Maxwell gives. NThe GOOd Now turn to the other side—costs and upkeep and so on, ^ mm which are materially reduced by the unusually high pro* ^^^B W ■ portion of costly alloy steels. w^r JEf JMflf You may not know that Maxwell owmers are now averag* 0 ing 24 miles per gallon of gasoline. Tpor/i^mrinf ... io** club Sedan ... lo^s Yhere are a dozen other things I could tell about, hut ; , ‘ do vou know of any four that matches up to Maxwell in .. ._ these respects Z All Maxwell dealer* are In fx>»iti<m to extend the convenience ‘ . of time-payment*. Aik about Maxwtw* attractive pun. You see now why I term the Maxwell a revolutionary car among fours. You will understand completely before •■a m • 11 m • you’ve driven a Maxw'ell five miles. Millar d-K OS© JVLotOlfS I can say to you with all assurance that you are going to find c__ ooiL in the good Maxwell we are building today far more than r arnam at Z5th you eVer hoped for from any four-evlinder car W.
