in Color Scheme.
LIGHTING EFFECTS ARE NEW
Oriental, with tendcncr toward th
Oapanese, I the war Hi decorations for
the, Omaha Auto show at th Auditorium
February 21 to 2 are descrlb-d.
aeorga Later, who has charge of tlia
decorating, haa Just returned from a trip
to th asst. where he vidiled three of the
biff shows to set a few pointer. Put the
oriental Id was derided befor Mr.
LAler went east and he believe the
Omaha ahow'a decorations will surpass
anything he saw on bjs junket.
The oriental effect will be aocom
titlshed by the uae of brilliant color. Al
ternate stripes of --black, orsnga and
white wl'l be the ' basis of the color
acheme. a ttrlklnit. If not startling com
bination. fcy me ouiite.
The corona descending from th roof
of th Auditorium1 for lighting purpose
will be taken out entirely and skied
renins bujlt over the entlr top of the
building. Also there will be Mo burlap
on the floor, a at prevloua show. Th
burlap waa not only unaanltary, but be
came tolled after the flrat day of the
how and waa entirtly unsatisfactory.
This year ruhberold, which la something
like linoleum, will be placed on th
floor. Thin la aanitary and can lie washed
anO cleaned every day, o that on the
last day It will be a clean an on the
firat.
The lighting of the Auditorium remain
a mystery. Beyond a vague assertion that
It will be a new scheme, never before
tried at any show any place In the
country, officer of the ahow association
are prone to sidestep questioning on this
auhject. They are willing to declare the
building will be an effulgent blase of
luht and the scheme win be new and
striking, but beyond that they refuge to
breathe a word. ,
Twenty gltls are now at work making
the decoration for the show and starting
the night of February It 100 girl will go
to work at the Auditorium, working at
night, until the morning the show open.
George Reim Leads
Field as Booster for
Omaha Auto Show
Uses Motorcycle in Mountains
to Get Material for His Lecture
To run short of gssollns eighty miles
from a base of eupply, 30o mile from a
railroad line, and In the midst of the
great forest of the Kalbab National
park In northern Arltona was the unique
experience of Tr. II. W. Taylor, who
lectures at the Toung Men's Christian
association auditorium Tuesday evening.
The lecture will be Illustrated with col
ored pictures of many points of more
than ordinary Interest and will be en
titled "From the Yellowstone to the
Orsnd Canyon." Dr. Taylor haa made
eight different trip to this wonderful
region and the pictures shown are new
and of wonderful beauty. He uses a
motorcycle In order to travel th nar
row traila and frightful roads of this
region which balk the automobile. The
average price of a gallon of gasoline In
this part of the far west, Utah and
Ariiona, is 75 rents a gallon, but on
several occasions Dr. Taylor relate that
he would have been glad to pay twice
that amount for this necesary article.
By means of hia motorcycle, Dr. Tay
lor travelled direct to the rim tti the
Ornnd Canyon of the Colorado river
and secured many valuable pictures of
this wonder of wonders.

New York may have a great motor

The most notable aal of the New York

DELIVERY AT ONCE
FOR THEDORT CARS
W. E. Foshier Says There Will Be
No Delay in Getting Autos to
Customers.
AN EXCLUSIVE LIGHT CAE
The Foshier Motor company, distributer
for the Dort In this territory, proniise
Immediate deliveries of the sensational
little car. There I no doubt that motor
ists here will demand a large number
of Dort for Immediate and early spring;
delivery.
Probably no car on the market haa been
received with aa much enthusiasm aa
the ltn Dort touring car. "Jack" Mans
field, sales manager of the Dort com
pany, recently wrote the local d'stri
buter that more than 2.2W Dort car
were sold during the New York ahow and
nearly as many at the Chicago sltow.
"New York people know motor cars."
said Mr. Munnfluld, "and they have to be
pretty thoroughly convinced before they
buy. Rut t didn't take them long to see
that they wanted the Dort.".
The Dort la best described as an "ex
clusive llcht car." It has sturdlness, de
pendability, comfort and refinements such
ss no other light car possossses. The
Dort ha all the advantage of the light
car with the vond ncilnta of thA hiir rAr.

lent and apparently just as good
as ever. So is the clutch.
BUT AFTER ALL it isn't so
wonderful when you consider
how Reo cars are made.
"50 PER CENT OVERSIZE" in

even if he hadn't the velvety Reo
clutch.
THAT DOUBLES the factor of
safety, for tho you drop the Reo

but holds when once fully en
gaged. SO IF' YOU ARE the one to whom

softly reverses.
BUT WE DON'T believe there is
another automobile on earth that
will stand it none but Reo.
AND, THE REASON is in Reo
design, Reo material and Reo
construction.
BY THE WAY let us remind
you that the appreciation of Reo

behind orders. So it is necessary
to place your order long before
you want a delivery.
DON'T DELAY TODAY won't
be a minute too soon.
