Hansen of the .T. M. Hansen Cadillac company, who ex pects to receive one of these new cars within the next few days, says: "l hsve been affeirded the opportunity of viewing the new body styles and find that they carry many Improve ments and are absolutely the latest In design both of the exterior and Interior. “The one big feature of these lodlea Is that they are mounted on the present standard V-63 chassis, which has proven such an enormous success. One cannot really ap preciate the exceptional attractive ness of these cars without seeing them and the public will be afforded this opportunity within the next Tew days. It Is expected .tlutt j the pijice and design of these ca#i» 'Will be ft surprise, but also a pleasant one.” PACKARD MAKES HAZARDOUS TRIP Word has been received by the Packard Motor Car company that A.

The two JLliuoln highway men dared the hazards of the roadless mountain fustflfss to arouse interest In the proposed -Canadian national highway. They were to receive a gold medal for their trail blazing efforts. It is an award offered several years ago as an inducement for intrepid motorists to attempt the passage of the passes of the Canadian Rockies and the dangerous Fraser river canyon.

A week ago the attorney had a sign painted, giving the number of accid ents on the cormjr last year and the score to date for 1924. Since he post ed the sign on the corner of his pro perly at Thirty-third and Center streets, says. Kllngbell, there have boen-no crashes. I don’t. know whether the sign’s WMlHIli IlinjJH CB tiiuuuil ur ll«*l ■«! the drivers merely slow up to read the slRn,” declared Kllnkbell. "I believe, more accidents occur at Thirty-third and Center than at any other Intersection In the city. Traftic is extremely heavy on both streets. I do not believe there has been a tntnl accident to date but ears are wrecked, and sometimes persons badly Injured, alaiut once a week." Klinkbell's sbtn has a black square In which he can tally the accidents ns they occur. The score Is now 18, refil accidents. He has not counted the minor crashes. "I hope my Idea will prove success ful, hlM it It rfoeir nqt.-ylTl, be .there | with the chalk to keep the tally," aahl KUngbell. “Who’s Who in Economics” Tohl in IT Publication Ulncoln, Sept. 20.—The home economics department of the Univer sity of Nebraska recently published n "Who's Who iu Home Economics in Nebraska."

If a Oal Rax adc mo BEE I I Mean Man Makes His Way Up; Fate Shows Him Way Out TRIUMPH OF GAM.JO Jly W:jL. 0t.ii-**; Harper- A Bros , publishers, .Hsw-York. Mr. W. L. George ha* added a very careful and, from a literary stand point, very admirable psychological study to his list. In "The Triumph of Oallio” he has shown how the example of that Roman general was Imitated hy a Briton of the present day. Holyonke Tarrant tell* hi* own story, how he rose from poverty atjfl obscurity to wealth am) power, pfn then shipped back again, /i'Mrtat will eaglly stand as the ultimate In point meanness. Hls creed Is stated fri the opening paragraph: “I, JBolyonke Tarrant, hava suc ceeded |ti slaying in myself faith in God, io'-womaii-and even in man. I,lfe, love, success, progress, failure— these are relative terms which fill my consciousness with illusion. But they do not convince me. My thoughts, I know it well, are merely an exodiza tlon of my mental surfaces. Some times I believe that women are sweet and that the red lusts are dear; but I know well that If another stimulus were applied to those mental aurfaces of mine, I could be an anchorite and, like Diogenes, spit as f met a wonwn In the street. T am not the creature of circumstances, 'is I .am a 'human being, I am not even that. l am only s. circumstance. I tell myself that I am alive, knowing that life is merely an arrested moment between two cor-! ruptlons, that love is the decoration of that brief Interval, success the drug that prevents that Interval from growing too wearisome. What am I? Good man? Bad man? Who's to aay, since between good and evil there is no boundary? . . . What is any thing to me, except that the realiza tion of my nothingness equals the nothingness of the world? That all nothingness are peers? There indeed Is the victory, for in my nothingness lies freedom." With this challenge, really an In vltation, one curiously follows Tar rant through school and the univer sity, see* him making love to factory girls os a hoy, to co-eds as a univer sity student, to the committee's sec retary when he Is tolling as a radical communist agitator.

DARK CLOUD," by Thomu Boyd. Charles Scribner'* Son*. New York, publtaher*. One has to become thoroughly acquainted with the tale of Hugh Turner as told by Mr. Boyd before the application of the title Is under stood. Even then It seems as though it scarcely fits. Yet In these day* when the headline writer strains for effects rather than propriety, and the public does not always expect an i intimate relation between the head ings and what follows, perhaps a novelist should not tie held too strict ly accountable. Mr. Bbvd has revived some glimpses of life on the great rivers of America, and on the lakes as well, in the antebelltim days when steam boatin' was gteamboatln’ and river men were almost sailors. His hero Is Hugh Turner, a shy, awkward end wholly unsophisticated Kngllsh hid, who runs away from the brutallt . •** of ship captain at Quebec, falls In with a man who turns out to be an agent of the "underground railway " It was In 185S. Fleeing from federal agents, Hugh and his companion cross Ohio to Cincinnati, where the latter Is murdered by a southern gambler. Hugh finds himself ijext on a steamboat, and here his real career starts. He has adventures, learns many lesslons, meets many different characters, and finally gets his feet.and prove* himself a man. Chief interest In the story Is In the pictures of life on the river of that faraway day. , •?, sfrt ■ ' n- 4 I All-Year Utility I at Lowest Cost I: ' The Tudor Sedan body type — now I widely popular — was created by the jj Ford Motor Company.
