J i It I' II (! ! 5 I I IHfcJ UMAHA SUMJAV hb&: JAMUAKl' 27, : WORLDWOULDMISS ; 'LITTLE GAS WAGON Trucks and Passenger Cars Have Become an Almost In dispensable Adjunct to Business. - ' 1 i motor f - Were all automobiles and driven vehicles ordered from the streets and from the jcountry, roads for a period of 30 days, what would happen to the business interests of America? , A prominent official of one of the . national associations recently placed such a proposition before members of the trade, who marveled and pon dered, and started from that time to "study the automobile situation as it really is. Few of them had realized in the rush of their business the real necessity of the passenger car and motor truck to the business of the day, and the question brought home to them the fact that business throughout America without motor cars would be at a standstill, and al though the readjustment was madls 'to the old style of transportation, business of today would be an im possibility under former transporta tion methods by horse entirely. C 6. Rieman, vice president and general manager of the Elgin Motor Car corporation, feels that the motor-driven vehicle is an indispensable ' necessity to America at all times, and at no time more than during the great war. America's manhood is - engaged so largely in war; and so many ot Americas young hustlers are engaged in war occupations, that mere must De an increase in em ciency in every field. The motor ca. ' is labor-saving machinery, in the es iimauon or Mr. . Kieman, and it a time-saver in every department of v. a ... i ! . . DU3HIC.1S. rvuioinouiics in uusiness are an economy and not an extra va- gance. "Passenger automobiles have given ' greater service," said Mr. Rieman, ' 'and will give greater service in the ' 'United States, than is given by the ' railroad and street , railway systems ' of America. The estimate has been made that 3.700,000 passenger .cars averaging 5,000 miles a year, and - that is a low average, and carrying three persons each, will give a total 'of over 55,000,000,000 passenger miles. The estimate figures that this mileage at 2 cents per mile is a .return of $1,110,000,000 per year." -The Elgin .Motor Car corporation, according to Mr. Rieman, , believes : tnat tnere will oe as a consequence 'of the necessity of the automobile business a great shortage of cars in 1918, and that second-hand and used cars will be higher in price, and that Hew cars in the class of the Elgin ww De limited. , Oleson to Have Charge of A uto Show Music I 3 L I r Madison County Teacher'; Whose -Schootls 100 Per Cent Red Cross 15 Catalogue Shows Juct How Parts Are Made w A novel means of showing the va rious working parts of v its auto mobile, the sealing arrangement, and the exact proportions has bem ac complished by the Allen, Mator com pany of Foster ia, Q irt a catalogue recently issue J.4' A cross section drawing of the entire car has been made, showing the exact location and working po sition of each part ' Not only are the working parts shown, but the construction of parts such as the seats, gasoline tank, rear axle, trans mission, etc, are shownValso. - f0'M" R. OLESON. R. Oleson, well known Omaha musi cian and orchestra leader, will have charge of the music at the 13th annual Omaha Automobile show to be held at the Auditorium late next month, according to announcement by Man ager Clarke G. Powell. , ; Three orchestras will play at the exposition. Mr. Oleson will lead the main orchestra in the Auditorium proper. A woman's orchestra will play in the annex and a jazz band will nvcn inings at tne truck: exhibit. ; Mr. Oleson also plans a quartet or sextet lor eacn ot the. rooms and also is preparing for a sp'ecial musical night. . . More Cars Are Driven Home Than Handled by Railroads "A. E. Houghton, district repre sentative of Dodge Brothers, return ing from eastern cities confirms the thought," says R. E. Davis, manager of Murphy O'Brien Auto company, that we have always held of the eral popularity of the enclosed body models of Dodge Brothers cars." The number of closed cars even in the smaller' towns was especially no ticeable. In- larger cities, onen cars were as scarce as the closed models were a tew years ago. - Business as usual on the road nnd in the salesroom is evidenced by the larger number of closed models, sold during this winter season. There have been more cars driven Over th road from Detroit durinar the last month than handled hv th railroads, which indicates a condition mat instead of becoming better is be coming worse. Green Garden precinct in Madison county has a Lutheran parochial school, which is one of the first, if not the first, scboolrjn. the' state to become 100 per cent member of the Red Cross, withf.every' one of the 48 pupils a' merither at $1. At one time there was some! talk of the pro-Germanism of Green Garden precinct, but A. F. Meyers, the teacher of this Lutheran parochial school, has shown hat this is a community alive to the every need of the government of the United States in this war crisis. Mr. Meyers carried on the thrift: Stamp campaign in his parochial school at the same time that he car- ried on the Red Cross campaign. On the first daythe children brought in $500 in subscriptions for thrift stamps, or an average of more than $10 per PHP!1: . ... . This tired tne parents wan Keenest interest, and when the books were checked up at the end of the week, ; it was found that the parents had subscribed a total of $4,515. , ; The Red Cross .activities of the school children also drew the interest, of the parents, so that a very large percentage of them hastened to join the Red Cross without being solicited. Tkiis . a H.a.tf tti.tr mif th'ia r cinct into the position of having the 1 memberships and. thrift stamp pur- highest percentage of Red Cross I cnases in the county. : sis. A!
