Omahans Pay . Obeisance to “King Motor” Gorgeous Spectacle of Shiny New Automobiles Revealed as Doors of Auto Show * Open. All of Omaha Is bowing In obei sance lo King Motor this week. The 20th annual automobile show Is now in full blast. The formal opening occurred early Monday after noon with the Auditorium decorated In gala fashion. One hundred and forty car* are on exhibition, as well groomed as a blue ribboner at a prize dog show. And fully as proud, al though automatons, as any entry in a horse show of 25 years ago or to day. The rapid increase sMtliin the last year or two of the closed car is noticeable in the . 1925 show. The majority of exhibitions are in coupes, sedans, coaches and limousines. They fit the dimensions of any wallet. It is remarkable that the cost to the consumer of these closed automobiles is not very much higher than the open models of the same make. Height of Luxury. A few years ago it was regarded as the height of luxury to operate a closed car. Today tiie coupe, coach and sedan have become quite demo cratic. Any visitor to the show can easily be convinced of this, it he pre fers one to the splendid open models of every description which Omaha's dealers are offering. Although the closed makes are In the majority, there are some remark able presentations of roadsters and touring cars. Most of the exhibitors dlspipy both kinds. There is also a noteworthy exhibition of trucks and automobile accessories and several radio spaces. Every member of the Omaha Auto Trades association, which is sponsor ing the show, is on hand with a corps of assistants willing to explain any detail of their cai-t. Visitors to the show who wish practical demonstra tions with a possible view of pur chasing an automobile will find the Auditorium a clearing house for ap polntments for such demonstrations. Jmaha has a fair name throughout the west for the integrity and cour tesy of its automobile distributors, their salesmen and mechanics. Busiest Man in Omaha. | A. B. Waugh, commissioner of 111'’ Auto Trades association, is manager vf the show. But he is more than that—he is the generalissimo, the busiest man in Omaha this week, lie is doing more work than a one-leggpl eowpuneher, a body-stretching pll- I grim on his way to Mecca and a 1 mosquito in Hoboken combined. The officers of the association have been commended by the members for the pffort they have put on to make the Omaha show outstanding In the west. They are (luy I,. Smith, president: l.ee HtifT, vice president: K, E. Davis, secretary, and Mr. AVaugh. J. If. Hansen, Cadillac distributor, was afraid Sunday that tiie Cadillac chassis he Intended to exhibit would not Ijc ready because of its damage in the Kansas City show fire las! Friday. However, by herculean ef j fort on the pait of the Cadillac fat i tory representatives and Mr. Han * sen’s assistance, the chassis was brought to Omaha and after an all night job it was put in tip-top shape for the opening Monday afternoon. It was as bright and shiny and perfect mechanically as if it had never seen a fire. Entirely Duplicated. The AA'illys-Ovet bind exhibit was to tally destroyed at the Kansas City fire, but the factory at Toledo, wast ing neither time nor expense, dupli cated the entire presentation. This re markable feat and the Overland ex nibit at the Auditorium is exactly the same as that which created so much favonyde comment at Kansas City. In connection with the show it Is interesting to note that tiie Stud" “baker Arporatlnn is in Its *lth year, and is celebrating its rilver jubilee in -the motor car industry. Sets I p Itecnrii. Tiie AVill.vs Overland, which lost Its entire exhibit at the Kansas City show in the fire last Friday night, has had this exhibit duplicated from the factory at Toledo in a remarkably short space of time. News of the fire was relayed to Toledo Saturday morning by wire and two solid express cars containing six show models. Including the cut away chassis, left the Toledo plant at 12 o'clock Saturday night, arriving at Omaha on 3 o'clock Monday morn ing and were unloaded „nd in the Auditorium at 8 o'clock. The handling of a shipment such as this containing special equipment, both from the factory and transports :lon ends, certainly sets up a record that would he hard to duplicate. Officials Here. Tj. O. Peed, general sales manager, AVillys-Overland. Inc., and Ward M. Cnnaday, president of the United States Advertising corporation, will spend Thursday and Friday" at the Omaha Automobile show. They will leave on Friday for Ban Francisco to take in the various shows at the roast branches of the company, which wtll take place In the next three or four weeks. ■ 1 Walioo, Feb. 16.—A unique birth day party was given by Mr. and Mrs. D.

Yester day he saved that dog. Love, now' a student at Northwest ern university, was severely wounded while fighting in the Argonne, when the dog, Bolivar, then working for the German Ited Cross, found him, went back to surgeons and took them to the stricken man. Later American forces captured the position, and when Love returned to this country he brought Bolivar with him. About a month ago Love, with another student, lost Bolivar while ex ploring the desolate regions with Sko kie valley. For days they searched in vain. Meanwhile reports were brought in by motorists that a “wolf” had been seen running across the bleak land. Yesterday, Love, still at his quest, was stopped by a police man because bis automobile lacked a license tag.| At a suburban station he explained bis search. “Why we’ve a dog like that,” the sergeant said. “Caught him—it took half a dozen of us—after lie had scared folks In the rotfcls. He looks half starved; he’s scheduled to be shot in the morning.’’ “You’ll have to shoot me first,” Love said. Bolivar was brought in. lie was a skeleton. But he cleared the room in one bound and almost floored his master with his joyous assnult. There will he no execution. '-> Burgess Bedtime Stories V_/ By THORNTON W. Bi’ROKSS. Sucre!! moat oft attend! the bo'.d. A Maying true, though it be old: —Jumper the Jlare. Juniper Does a Bold Thing. Jumper the Hare was panting as he ran. There were few days since he could remember when he hadn't had to run for his life, or at least hadn't been badly frightened. But never had he been quite In such despair as he now was. He knew he couldn't run much longer, and he knew that Old Man Coyote would surely catch him unless he could find a safe hiding n " 1 *°T awfV*5- A -S-*. Jumper was in Buster Bear's bed room! place. But in hi* fl ight lie had been heedless. lie hadn't paid attention to where he was running and now he was far from his familiar hiding plares. He didn’t know what to do. "1 ean't run much farther. I just enn't do It,” he sobbed. ' I’m tired enough to drop right in my tracks this minute. If It were not fdr this hateful erust T could get away from that fellow. If only the snow was soft I wouldn’t worry a hit. But there Isn’t any soft snow anywhere. Old Man Coyote can run on this crust just as easily as 1 ran. What shall I do? What shall I do?” It was at that very moment that Jumper spied an o|>enlng under a great mass of rock. Jumper seldom goes Into holes. But this wasn't exactly a hole. He knew that that opening led Into a sort of little cave under that rock. The snow hsd part ly filled the opening, but it was Mill i' g enough for him to enter. For lhat matter, II was big enough for Old Man Coyote to enter also. Jumper cave i frightened look back ole Man Coyote was nearer than he thought for. With a little squeal of sheer flight Jumper tinned and darted through that opening under the great rock. Old Man Coyote saw where he was heading and did his best to catch Jumper before he could get there. But he didn't succeed. At that opening Old Man Coyote stopped short. He could have followed Jumper in there, hut he didn't. No, sir, he didn’t. He poked his nose in and snifTed once, twice, three times. Then he barked away and the hair along his hack and on his neck began to rise. He growled softly to himself. There has some one in there beside* Jumper the Hare. It was Buster Hear! Jumper was In Buster Bear's bedroom, where Busier was sound a-deep! Bo you tliink that Jumper was frightened when he found himself In Buster Bear's bedroom? He was and he wasn't. He hid known that that ens Buster Bear s bedroom and that Buster was In there. He hsd also known that Buster was asleep. He was frightened at being so close to great big Buster Bear, hut at the same time he knew that Ruster was asleep for the winter and that there really was nothing to fear from him. Old Man Covote knew the same thing. But Old Man Coyote has so much respect for Buster Boar's great strength that he feared him even when he was asleep. You see, Jumper was trying to save his life. It was better to take a chance with Buster Bear asleep than with Old Man Coyote very much awake. But Old Man Coyote wasn't trying to aave his life. He was simply trying to get a good dinner, and to hla way of think ing even a good dinner wasn't worth the risk of venturing Into Buster Bear's bedroom. So he sat outside and growled and snarled and then finally turned and trotted sway. .lumper had done N bold thing, a very hold thing. But he had saved his life. ff’onyrlBhf. 1ISB.)

HI TCHINSON, Inf ernatlonul News Mmlce Sttnff Poitenpondent. AY'ashlngton, Feb. 16.—The 68th congress entered the home stretch of the legislative career today with the administration's program endangered by the threat of filibusters. The threatened disruption came from ttie senate, where small but militant minorities voiced hitter op position to'the republican program. In the house there was no cause for alarm as the ponderous admin istration machine moved slowly to ward a prompt adjournment. AY’lth hut 14 working days remain ing, republican leaders ordered day and night sessions in the senate In an effort to avoid tlie deadlock and to enact ail necessary legislation be fore March 4. This was in line with the declaration of President Coolldge against any special session. The republican leadership, however, faced many obstacles and the prob ability that the closing days of con gress will be harassed by a series of filibusters. If this should occur, such a legislative jam may follow ns to force the calling of an exlra ses sion after March \y The problem confronting adminis tration leaders was this: Kach bill on their program lias a distinct majority in its support but a fighting minority in opposition. If the administration can maneuver the legislative procedure so that each fight in centered directly on a single issue, the whole program can he en acted. If these moves fail and the various opposition groups unite in a common filibuster, the administra tion's program is doomed.

Richard Roe succeeded in business, built a fine home, in which abounded content ment and happiness. He had no fear of possible bank panics or busi ness depressions. He felt secure. He could not anticipate the panic of 1907 which came in the night. His business was destroyed and he lost his fine residence. The nervous strain was too much for him. In a short time he died. He left insufficient life insurance. His family were reduced to penury. The brave little woman took a cottage down the lane, doing washing and sewing. A policy in any one of the life insurance companies and associa tions having home offices in Omaha would have been worth to her ten thousand times its cost. Her late husband should have known that Omaha’s sterling com panies, with combined assets of over $150,000,000, comprise the strongest financial group in the state, under whose laws they are managed. Many business men have seen the wisdom of buying insurance protection of the Home Office companies and associations—life, fire, accident, health, automobile. Local pride in these prosperous home institutions and their great financial strength actuate men in their decision to patronize them.
