SOME INTEBESTING FIGURES
Reliable Statistic on the Automo
bile Indnstry Shows Enormous
Growth, with Indications
. of Its Permanency.
of Its magnitude. The last six months
have been very busy ones or the In
dustries, almost every factory In the
field doing something with a view either
to increasing its capacity or bettering its
appointments and equipment- A great
many of them have been putting up ad
ditions, some large enough to double tht
former capacity of the estblishment
while others have built or leased new
factories, finding their previous quarters
too small for their rapidly Increasing
business.
Nebraska has the largest per capita
distribution of automobiles of any Btate
In the union. According to authentic
statistics recently compiled and pub
lished in the Automobile, the leading
trade Journal, there is one automobile
for every forty-five persons in the Corn
busker commonwealth. In the District
of Columbia the distribution Is one auto
mobile for every thirty-five persons.
South Dakota also has one machine for
every forty-five. Ive District of Colum
bia not being a state, though having
the largest number of machines per
capita distribution, gives way to Ne
braska and South Dakota. Indiana ha
one car for every sixty persons. Iowa,
Maine and New Jersey have one 'ma
chine for every sixty persons, equaling
Irdiana in this respect The per capita
distribution of machines In North Dakota
Is one automobile for every seventy-five
persons. Massachusetts, Michigan, Ohio
and Oregon all are tied.
Maine Leads In Increase.
To the surprise of many Maine leads
the whole country in percentage of in
crease in automobile registration, having
F7V4 Per cent since January 1, 1012. The
only state showing a decrease in auto
mobile registration is New Jersey, which
during the last year has lost 5,268 ma
chines, Including sixty trucks, which In
all probability were those of the big New
York and Philadelphia department stores.
These firms, as non-residents, are not
obliged to register under the new law
recently enacted.
Commercial vehicles have Increased
considerably in number, as was predicted
last winter. The country's total Jumped
from 25,451 In December. 1911, to 31,574 by
July t 1911
New York state leads In the registra
tion of both pleasure and commercial
motor, car. The total registration of
commercial cars is 7,977, the total number
of all cars being 92,407. California is
second In line with a registration of
78.603.
American manufacturers produced 252.
669 self-propelled vehicles during the year
from July 1, 1911, to July 1, 1912. The
approximate figures are as follows: Gaso
line pleasure cars, 228,369; gasoline trucks,
16,500; motor fire apparatus, 700! electric
pleasure cars, 8.000; electric tracks, 1,000.
Great Britain - takes a great many
American made cars, the value of the
exports to the United Kingdom for 1912,
up to June 1, amounting to S2.476.917. As
compared to the Imports from the United
Kingdom, the business done In automo
biles by the United States 18 far ahead
of that done by our English brethren.
The Imports from Great Britain Into the
United States amounted during the first
five months of 1912 to only $183,271.
We Lead In Exports.
The American made automobile has
established itself firmly on foreign shores.
Not only do the figures given with re
gard to export and import trade with
England show thist but, other .statistics
detailing the business with France, Ger
many, Canada and other foreign coun
tries present .the American automobile
business - in a favorable light. In fact
the United States has settled into first
as the leading automobile exporting na
tion of the world. The value of the ex
ports of automobiles and parts from our
Shores to foreign countries is steadily In
creasing, while the value of the imports
Is correspondingly decreasing.'
The number of companies Incorporated
during the last six months for the pur
pose of manufacturing automobiles and
parts and for renting automobiles, run
ning motoring truck and bus lines, con
ducting . and running repair shops and
manufacturing and selling accessories
801 gives a fair idea of the activity in
that field since the first of the year. The
total number of those Incorporated dur
ing this year as intending to manufac
ture and sell automobiles and parts Is
449, while the others amount to 352. The
total capital invested in these companies
is something to 'marvel at, the figures
given being $136,959,740. The capital of
those formed to make and deal in cars
and parts aggregates $70,291,700, while that
of the other concerns is $66,665,040.
Not Too Many Makers.
With all these companies forming and
with the demand for cars Increasing, the
next year will not see any too. many
makers of motor cars During the last
six months all, factories have been going
at a capacity rate without being able
to supply the demand. In Omaha dealers
have sold all their cars and have been
- " - - -'- ... iif, Ulljl-I o milt.
The growth of the automobile industry Is
so great-and particularly Is the trade
in this state, as the figures given in the
beginning of this article show that the
increase In factories now will do no more
than to help supply the great demand.
The Omaha representatives of one large
automobile manufacturer sold more cars
during the fiscal year, September 30, 1911,
to September 30, 1912, than any other
agency of his firm with the exception
of Los Angeles, , which surpassed his rec
ord by a few cars.
Sales Are Enormons.
In order for the registration of auto
mobiles to increase so wonderfully dur
ing the last six months the sale of auto
mobiles had to be enormous. These sales,
of course, have meant a greatly increased
production Of cars. An interesting side
to the output total is the fact that a
larger percentage of it tnan ever is made
up of small, low-priced cars, two com
panies alone turning out over 80,000 ma
chines during the year, July 1. 1911, to
July 1, 1912. This also has another ef
fect on the situation, that is, with ref
erence to the average price of the American-built
car." Tills price has been
iteadily declining ever since J907, the year
In which it attained its highest level
(2,137.56. Last year it was $1,245.99, and
this year it has dropped to fl.0S3.10. The
small cars form the bulk of the automo
bile exports of the country, the average
price being $977.98. The difference In the
average price caused by the wide use of
the higher priced ' cars in the United
States. Is significant .
Factories Well Formed.
The enormous output of the small ma
shines as compared to the larger ones
olnts out another interesting fact. This

mobile factories have become organized,
lystematized and - standardized, so that
sverythlng works along smoothly, result-

The museum of today has a part In the
ceneral nlan of school education and is
chle in meet Its reSDonslbilltv according I
to the support It receives. This support
may result from an accurate knowledge
of facts and a desire to spread that
knowledge, as well as from the ability to
give financial aid. Of course, there are
people even now, who thing that a mu
seum is a cold storage warehouse for
works of art or otherwise. These seldom
venture Inside its doors. Then there are
those who allot a given time, half a.n
hour, perhaps, to "doing" the museum.
They never need to go again. And there
are some who patiently and conscien
tiously look and attempt to read every
label, only to give It up after the nine
teenth, suffering from museum fatigue.
It is quite possible to have an intelligent
idea of Omaha's museum without having
either the tourist attitude or the desire
for deep research. The collection Is not
large enough to compare with those of
older cities, but it Is now at the point
where an intelligent interest on the part
of the people ot the city, and some of
those outside Omaha, can make It a col
lection worth while in the eyes of the
studious as well as the curious.
For instance, you should know these
things about your museum do you7
The Byron Reed collection of over 8,000
coins and medals ranks among the three
or four finest in the United States, and
contains foreign coins-as well s speci
mens of all the United States coins cast
up to the time of Mr. Reed's death In
1893.
' Occupies Entire Floor.
The museum occupies the whole top
floor of the library building. One room
contains a collection of Indian articles,
nearly all of Slouan tribes, but with a
good beginning for an Alaskan collec
tion. Everything in this permanent col
lection was the gift bf General Charles
F. Manderson. A valuable collection of
Indian relics is loaned by Mrs. William
R. Mprrls. Mr. Robert F. Gilder has
placed one case of articles obtained from
his own excavations of the "caches" of
aboriginal home in Washington, Douglas
and Sarpy counties. .
A collection placed by the Daughters of
the American revolution gives many in
teresting side lights on the history of
colonial times.
Besides the', valuable historical collec
tion in the Byron Reed room, & collection
of local historical interest has been
started in the museum, and Includes pho
tographs of Omaha as early as 1857; rec
ords and relics of the Pioneer Hook and
Ladder company, Instituted In 1860; the
sign of the first post office in Omaha,
etc. Of course, there are any number
of photographs and other reminders of
the Trans-Mississippi Exposition of 1898.
Two hundred mounted specimens of Ne
braska birds form a good beginning for
a valuable collection which in time will
include all the 400 or more birds found
in this state. There are also about 200
nests of bird's eggs.
Ores and Minerals.
There Is a fairly complete collection of
good specimens of common mineral and
ores; the Cleburne collection of fossils
is complete and carefully labeled. The
Cleburne herbarium has specimens of
pressed flowers which are well preserved,
and have all possible information about
each specimen.
Another case Is filled with most murder
ous looking weapons from the Philippines,
nearly all loaned by M. C. A. Anderson,
a member of the Thurston Rifles of '98.
There are many other queer Philippine
articles, from charcoal stoves to flutes
and raincoats. .- ,
The Samuel Burns case of pottery has
valuable pieces of old Chelsea china used
in the Burns family since 1760; old Dres
den of 1744, old English Ivory, as well as
Dutch, French, Chinese and Irish pot
tery, i .
The art gallery contains the paintings
purchased at the time ot the Trans-Mlss-
isslppl exposition, as well as those pur
chased since then by the Omaha Society
of Fine Arts.
The lecture room Is used almost con
stantly during the school year by classes
and societies. Stereoptlcan lectures and
story hours appeal to the children, classes
and lectures to older people.
Many Things Not Listed.
These are the bare tacts; you cannot
appreciate them unless you see for
yourself these and the scores of things
that It Would be Impossible to list. And
what is the use of all these things?
Both pleasure and profit. It is a satisfac
tion to many, especially the pioneer
citizens, , to see objects of real historic
value placed on exhibition with other
similar relics of early history in Ne
braska. The profit is In preserving such
objects, while they are still obtainable.
But the most obvious benefit of the
museum should be direct help In educa
tion, through the attendance of school
children. A museum furnishes some ac
tual evidence of the things we read about
In books; the lantern slides give more
Impressive Illustrations than any book.
In many of the larger cities, schools and
museums are working together after
the manner of classroom and laboratory
In Milwaukee , the school board pays the
museum a fixed sum each year for the
services f the museum lecturers. Other
cities have made arrangements for each
grade In the public school to spend one
or" more half days each year In the city
museum, under the guidance of teachers
or the museum Instructors.'
In Omaha there Is very little difference
In the attendance of the children In sum
mer and winter; they come alone and
learn what they can. In summer, lists of
birds' eggs are in demand; birds them
selves are to be identified; Indian arrow
heads and scalplocka are just as inter
esting as in winter.
Just here is the point where the mu
seum might be of more value, but can
not without the co-operation of parents
and teachers. There is not, after all,
very much to be gained from awestruck
tiptoeing from one room to another, see
ing only things that are startling, such as
mummies, alligators and suits of armor
and leaving unseen dozens ot other
equally" interesting things, If one only
knew about them.
Fonnd in Lectare Room.
Instead of such hap-hazard vUlts, It Is
quite possible to use the museum In a
way which leaves a more lasting im
pression. This can be done most easily
by the teachers, if they use collections in
connection with their school work. This
does not mean that it is necessary to
bring a hundred children and - spend a
half day, as would be possible in a large
museum. But to take one example the
Amos H. Thomas, new secretary ot the
republican state central committee, Is a
graduate of the University of Nebraska
with the law class of 1909. He has been
engaged In the practice of law in Omaha
With the firm of Crofoot & Scott since
graduation. During hts university course
young Thomas was actively interested In
politics, both college and city. Since
coming to Omaha he lias been closely
Identified with the work of the republi
can party In Douglas county, and for
the last two years has been a member of
the Douglas county central committee.
Amos Thomas la not yet 80 years old.
His home is at University Place, Neb.
Before taking the law (course young
TMomas was graduated In engineering and
went sooth for two years. His health
did not permit his continuing In this
work, and he returned to Nebraska to
complete a course in law. In the univer
sity he was associated with student ac
tivities. He was a member of Pht Delta
Theta and Phi Delta Phi, the legal fraternity.
collection of birds. It would be an easy
matter to help. Illustrate part of the
nature study course, by taking a group
of children to the museum; having a case
opened If desirable, helping Identify the
most common varieties and illustrating
by these specimens almost any principle,
from protective coloration to the In
fluence of environment. A class in
botany might use the Cleburne herbarium
tor Identification or comparison; it has
excellent Illustrations of the variations
of the same species in different localities.
Other cities allow such work to be done
during school hours, to lighten instead
of Increasing the burden of work for the
teacher.
The lecture room, seating 125, with, the
oil below a certain grade It not sold
use of the stereoptlcon and any of the
library collection of lantern slides, Is free
for the use of the teachers and classes.
Anything within the power ot the
museum authorities will be done as will
ingly as by the library proper. It is
merely necessary for teachers wishing to
use these privileges to make arrange
ments In advance.
Of course, many collections are not
complete. There are dosens of things
which the museum should have and has
as yet. But a museum is not a dead
Institution, unless forced to be. The way
to obtain more and better collections is
to use and show an interest In those al
ready there. It Is through present use
that we may find what is necessary and
desirable for the future.
More Room Is Needed,
Through past ubc these things have
already been proved to be necessary; they
may become possible if the people of
Omaha are sufficiently Interested.
First and always, the museum needs
more room, with additional cases to al
low for expansion. At present every case
is full, with no room for more. Once
there Is room tor expansion, It will be
an easy matter to find material to flU
the space. An. Omaha room, a children's
room and a nittuiHl history room are
those most needed. This extra space Is
impossible In the present quarters, unless
the building Is enlarged. Even then the
additional space would soon be exhausted.
Second, an elevator. No museum on
the third floor of a building should be
expected to survive, when all specimens.
not to mention visitors, must go up and
down by means of the stairs.
Third, a fund from which necessary ad
ditions and Improvements can be suP'
piled when necessary, instead of depend
ing entirely upon gifts or the elasticity
of the library fund. It should not be
expected that the library appropriation
should cover museum expenses also, and
definite allowance should be made from
some other source for museum equip
ment, purchases and salary of a curator,
It is hardly, fair, of course, to compare
conditions here with those in New York,
but the fact that it was forty years ago
that the Metropolitan museum was put on
a good .financial basis, ought to offset
our smaller city and newness. In 1S72,
when the Metropolitan museum was
started, the stste legislature of New
York granted 315,000 a year for its ex
penses and sll the expenses of the
museum were thus met by the state legis
lature until the museum was 29 years
old, when a purchasing fund of $5,000,000
was left to the museum by bequest.
Started with Hi position.
The Omaha museum was started InlS9S,
when a letter was andresrod to the "ex
hibitors and concessionaires of the Trans
mtsslBSlppl exposition, atklng for gifts
of any articles front the exposition, and
offering a place for them In the library
building. General Manderson said that
this would be alt the space they would
ever need. The appeal met with a gen
erous response, and the collection started
then has been steadily increased. ' Interest
has always been shown In the collection,
and today. If a plea for HJdltion.il mater
ial for the museum were Issued, there
would be a whole-hearted response, as be
fore. But that part which might be called
the museum machinery, the sustaining
power, has necessarily been neglected to
a great extent, and Is of very nearly the
same measure as In 1891 After fourteen
years Omaha should be able to provide
something better. Every available bit ot
space has been used; every possible ap
propriation has been made from the
library fund, and still the museum lacks
many absolutely necessary things. If we
are to encourage interest, there must be
room to allow for an Increase in useful
ness on the part of the museum. The first
step Is to know your museum.
