struct equal mileage elsewhere if the
protest holds.

Works His-Way Through School
With Many a Hardship in Path
"Persistency and industry shall be
rewarded" is the life motto of Eu
gene Simmons, sophomore at the Uni
versity of Omaha, who has struggled
through life ever since he was knee
high to a grasshopper. He is making
the principle work, for in addition to
other accomplishments, he has been
appointed assistant chemist by Prof.
Leland Lewis, an honor that is not
often bestowed upon an undergrad
uate. The young man's life path has
been strewn with trouble and tribu
lation. When he was but ten years
of age his mother and four children
were left practically helpless, Most
boys would have abandoned all hopes
of a university education, ut Eu-y
?;ene had already developed a love
or higher learning, and so then and
their decided to earn an education
for himself.
He started his educational career
in Worcester, Mass., where he sold
the Chicago papers, the Saturday
Evening Post and the Ladies-Home
Journal for a living. In 1907 he came
to Omaha and completed the grammar
school, attending the Central, Wind
sor and Columbia public schoels. '
While he went through the Omaha
scnools he cadied at the Field club
and worked for the Omaha Transfer
company. Ihe latter joo aemanaea
that he work on Sundays and holi
days, at all times of night, under any
kind of weather, but he never for
got his motto even though he froze
an ear now and then, but he always'
carried his smile.
In 1910 he entered the Central High
school, and it was while he attended
there that he became prominent in
scholastic activities. Miss Atkinson
never had a better American history
student, and she made Eugene her
assistant. Other teachers such as
Miss Paxsori, Miss Rooney and Miss
Kate McHugh, always depended on
him to lead the classes.
Eugene made good in the military
department. Although he could not
attend every drill on account of work,
yet he earned himself a captaincy by
making every drill count. His com
pany. E, took second place at com
petitive drill that year and no cap
tain in the regiment was better liked
by 1iis men.
He is a Thespian. He received
his -dramatic inspirations while shift-

ing scenery at the Omaha theaters.
Later he studied the subject under
Tommy Mills at the high school. He
played the part of Goble in the senior
play of 1915, "Richard Carvel," and
was classed among the best. Last
year he took part in "The Maneu
vers of Jane" at the University of
Omaha.
In addition to his duties as student
and assistant, he is out for foot ball
and coach De Lamatre has already
picked him out for a half. He is
planning to complete his course at
the Nebraska College of Medicine.

OMAHA LAWYER IN OASS
When you take a boy into your
home and treat him as you would
your own child, are you legally liable
if you don't pay wages to him?
Mrs. Mattie Manka of Omaha i.
suing Thomas Gallagher of Clarion,
la., for failure to pay her son, Leslie,
a minor, who has stayed with the Gal
lagher family since December 11, 19U.
The case will come up in Wright
county's district court Wednesday.
Attorney D. H. Sheehan of Omaha,
who represents the defendant, says an
ad in The Bee induced Mr. Gallagher
to invite Leslie to live with him. Mrs.
Manka -st that time announced in the
paper that she was a widow, unable
to support her two children and
wanted one of them placed in a good
home. Leslie is now 9 years old.
Mrs. Manka' not only asks the
court to compel the foster-father of
her boy to pay Leslie some wages,
but she also demands that a gun,
which is now in the Gallagher home,
be given to her son. Mr. Gallagher
contends that he let Leslie take the
gun several times to go hunting, but
argues that these permissions do not
constitute ownership.

ALL-SEASON CARS
, AND NEW-TYPE
DEMOUNTABLE TOPS
Designed for Next Year's Shows
New Winter Top-$300
Changes Mitchell Touring Car to a Luxurious Sedan
We want to show you a new idea in a demountable top.
A top designed under John W. Bate, the famous efficiency
expert. Not a patched-on top,' like some you've sen.
But a top which gives you an ideal winter-summer car.
Here is another new idea in
efficiency. And, like all the
Mitchell innovations, it is due to
John W.. Bate. It is a Demount
able Top, light and solid, finished
like the Mitchell Touting Car.
All windows and posts are re
movable, leaving the sides clean
and clear, similar to the Spring
, field type Sedan. And a set of cur-
tains are furnished for quick use.
The top is made of Agasote, cast,
with no seams at the curves, so it
cannot leak.
It doesn't rattle, it doesn't over
lap. It doesn't look like an added ,.
body. And it doesn't mar the
Touring Car.
It has a dome light like our
Limousine. It has windows which .
drop.likeourTouring Sedan. It has
curtains on side and rear windows,
and the upholstering is in gray.
So our Touring Car, when this
top is used, becomes a luxurious
closed car, and any owner of a Mid
Season Mitchell can become the
owner of a closed car by purchas
ing this top-and it costs but $300.
An Exhibition Model
This is one of the five luxury
models designed for next year's
Shows. Eachisdesignedto bring to
the Mitchell new prestigeandclass.
Before designing these bodies
we had experts and artistsexamine
257 new cars. These included all
the finest enclosed cars built, in
Europe and America.
So ourdesignersstarted with the
best that had been evolved. And
they have spent months in adding
to them attractions of our owa
Thus you will find that this De
mountable Top excels anything
you've seen. And that every
Mitchell enclosed design embodies
dozens of features found in no
other single car.
Year-Round Models
Now Demanded
The demand is tending toward
year-round models. The demand
today is perhaps 20 times greater
than a year ago. And it is grow
ing fast '
People want open cars In sum
mer. But they must have a closed
car to be comfortable in winter'.
The tendency now is to have one
car that serves for all weathers
and seasons.
This Demountable Top solves
theproblem in an elegant, econom
ical way. OurTouring Sedan solves
it in another way, our Cabriolet in

another. Come and make com
parisons. Get True Efficiency '
The Mitchell car, in its bodies
and chassis, appeals to efficiency
lovers. It is entirely the product
of John W. Bate, the famous effi
ciency expert.
It comes from a factory which
he built and equipped. And where
factory costs have been cut in two.
It offers you 20 per cent extra
value, due to these factory savings.
This Bate-built Mitchell is the
final result of over 700 improve
ments. Every part is given at
least 50 per cent over-strength. In
440 parts we use a toughened steel
And we use a wealth of Chrome
Vanadium steel
The result is a lifetime car. A
car with 26 features which other
cars omit A car which offers far
greater value than any other
high-grade car.
Now these same efficiency meth
ods are applied to luxury bodies.
The result will give you new con
ceptions of smart, dainty cars.
But the output this fall is very
small only 500 enclosed cars.
This is due to the over-demand for
Mitchell open cars. So you who
get these new Mitchell bodies will
need to decide at once.
Please come and see them now.
