6 D THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: DECEMBER 16. 1917. WANT CHILDE IN TRAFFIC BUREAU Commercial Club Would Like to Obtain Services of Iowa Expert; Was Formerly Omaha Man. Bee Dolls Make Happy Youngsters PLEA IS MADE FOR B00KSF0R FORTS Miss Tobitt Says Reading Mat ter of Library Shelves Should Be Put to I TT-- use, C E. Childe, head of the traffic department of the Sioux City Com mercial club, is at present seriously considered as manager of the traffic bureau at file Commercial club of Omaha. 1. J. McYanti, manager oi the traific bureau at Omaha, has l"iin hincc indicated his desire to seer Ins connections here entirely, as Ins work in Washington and Chicago on traffic matters is consuming far the greater part of his time. The governing committee of the traffic bureau here has indicated its desire to get Childe of Sioux City, but it is said there is still some question as to whether Mr. Clulde will accept, or whether the committee here would pay the salary necessary to break him away from Sioux City. Mr. Childe was formerly an Omaha man, and was chief clerk in the traf fic bureau under K. J. McVanu for some time. Three years ago he went to Sioux City as head of the traffic department there. Sioux City busi ness men say he made good in ex ceptional style, and it is understood it would take a InAdsome figure to tempt him from that place. Are in Quandary. Sjiippcr.s in Omaha, members of the bureau, say the immediate pos sibility that the government may lake over the railroads throws a difficult angle -upon the present .situation. It brings up the question whether it will be worth while to employ a high priced traffic man in ease the govern ment does this. If the government taks over the roads and runs them, shippers here say, there will be no need for a traffic man so far as fight ing for lower rates is concerned, be cause the government will likely ac cept the rates as they arc and rim the business of the roads on that basis. So far as claims arc concerned, shippers point out also that it is not likely the government will entertain mauy claims. The local committee, however, is still angling for C. E. Childe of Sioux City, and there the matter stands. Fort Crook and 400 at Fort Omaha, all donated by Omaha book lovers.

This is precisely the situation which exists under the con ditions of the definite mileage guarantee. The careful motorist, in the price of the tire he buys, pays the cost of the guarantee and derives no benefit from it, since in his usage tires deliver him their specified mileage. The reckless driver, who by his neglect fails to get such mileage, is recompensed by the guarantee largely at the cost of those motorists who do not profit by it. It is this inequality, this unfairness, this disregard of the real causes of tire mileage or the lack of it, that is working the sure failure of the definite mileage guarantee. It is this putting a premium on carelessness and a penalty on the intelligent use of tires, that is strengthening the suspicion long in the minds of thinking motorists. t The knowledge is becoming universal that the definite mileage guarantee, such as it is, absolutely must be paid for. The bulk of progressive car owners are making it clear that they had rather see its cost tye spent in bettering tire quality than in protecting the diminishing class of drivers who least deserve protection.
