Legislators Will Have Little Rest V During Vacation Parly Leaders Plan to Devote Summer to Production of Presidential Timber for 1924. (Washington, Feb. 24.—'The national legislators are going to take a vaca tion for nine months beginning March 4—the first Jong vacation for ejght months—but there is to be no rest for the politicians. The long vacation, it transpires, is to be devoted extensively by the load ers of the big parties and of all fac tions to intensive germinations and •ultivations necessary to the produc tion of the presidential "timber" of 3924. There will be nine months of pre liminary maneuvering and develop ment of candidacies, actual and po tential. Then the sixty-eighth con gress will meet in December and stage six months of skirmishing before the national nominating conventions meet. Senator Da Folette (republican, Wis consin) and his fellow extreme pro gressives are going to take to the lec ture platform to spread the doctrine f of discontent with the Harding ad ministration. Although they will hold the balance of power in both houses In the next congress they have not sought to force an extra session of ♦ hat body, Senator Da Folette decree lg that the long vacation be availed f “to educate the people." „ * "Little Bob" is the one sure op ponent of the president in the re publican primaries. He will go into the republican convention with more delegates than ever before and be “placed in nomination" as so often before without any better chance of being nominated. Then ns usual, a third party will seek to draft him. ^ Borah Also in Line. • ‘ Senator Borah (republican, Idaho) also is going to tell the folks what Is wrong with the policies of the ad ministration and to post his proposals of a world economic conference and of an international agreement to out law war. The Idaho seator long has been recognize4 as presidential tim ber and some entertain visions of Borah leading a movement in the party formidably challenging the Harding * policy of aloofness from European affairs. - Senator Hiram Johnson, republl MU, California, is going to Europe to mrrrey the situation before determin ing whether he will he a candidate in opposition to the president. Right now he is not a candidate. One reason is that the renomination of President Harding looks like a foregone con clusion, and another is that he ha* no Issue yet on which to make a fight. Johnson has distinguished him self by hi* political fegularity of late —so much so that he has broken with his old friend Borah—aad If he stays “regular," his chances in 1928 would he materially improved. And Johnson is only 57 now and as vigor ous as a man of 40. Harding to Tour Country. The president himself Is going to ** utilize the long vacation to some ex - tent in a manner that will’rebound to his advantage politically, his friends conceive. He is going to Alaska if his plans materialize, and on his way across the country he is going to make a number of speeches in which he will meet various criticisms level ed at his administration. Up to a few weeks ago, when it be came definitely known that Mr. Harding Is an actual candidate for a second term, there were numerous po tential candidates discussed, among them being Senators Watson, Indiana; McCormick. Illinois, and Pepper Penn sylvania. and Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania. Not one of this quartet, however, would oppose the renomina tion of the president. McAdoo Democratic Choice. The deniocratse will be no less ac tive than the republicans during the b ng vacation. They expert to make all kinds of political enptial attacks on the administration in the next year. Former Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo Is the outstanding aspirant in the democratic camp at this writ ing. A large and formidable organiza tion well financed and ably captained Is being formed to promote the Mc Adoo candidacy. Others mentioned ! ere former Governor Cox and former Justice Clarke of Ohio; Governor • Smith of New York, and W. R. Hearst. . Who will ho the chief opponent of Mc . Adoo is not now clear. Not a few democratic leaders look for a convention deadlock between McAdoo and a wet candidate and an ultimate compromise upon a dark horse. Former Ambassador John W. t^pDavls Is often mentioned as a logical compromise.

The Egyptian women of all classes • ~ "i are very fascinating, declares Mrs. Seton. With their dark eyes, clear olive complexions and graceful car riage, they are more striking than any other women in the world. Active Politically. Although they are taking a prom inent part in the politics of the coun try, they are not laying aside their feminine charms to toko on the mas cullne ways of their husbands No, indeed, the ben utli-s of the Nile have the wisdom of Egypt back of them—and they are winning their way politically through charms and brains rather than by bomb-throwing. Mrs. Seton was amazed to find the women of wraith highly educated. They apeak many languages and carry on their conversation in their gorgeous and luxurious salons in French- They wear imported French creations and enjoy French rooking.

Bankers Learn !\eihardt Poems Public Speaking Class Memorizing Verse Appear ing in The Omaha Bee—Instructor Pays High Tribute to Nebraska Poet Laureate. -—i Five hundred members of the Oma ; lia Institute *>f Hanking are tnetn urizuijj the poems of John O. Nei hnrdf', Ts'chi •IsJta poet laureale, which aro airpeannsr daily on tlie editorial page of The Omaha Bee. Ever since there have been banks, and ever since there have been poets, popular conception has conceded the two but lltlle In common. The poets distrusted the banks; and the banks, 1 quite naturally, distrusted the poets. I Comes now, however, II. O. Palmer, .instructor in public speaking who ministers to the declaiming penchant ; of members of the local banking In stitute, and espresses profound gratl I lication over the opprytunlty afford ed the people of Nebraska to become ] oetter acquainted with their poet j laureate, through the columns of The I Omaha Bee. "Mr. Neihardt at present is not very much In print," Mr. Palmer said, "and he Is a poet well worth knowing. Some day he will rank with Ihe greatest of American poet?. It in a real privilege for the people of his native state to be accorded an op portunity to read that portion of hi# work which ha* not as yet been for mally published." More than that, Mr. Palmer has assigned members of the Omaha In stitute of Banking various of Mr. Neihardt's poems to memorize, and when the class In public speaking gathers every Tuesday night at a downtown bank, they are brought forth with oratorical embellishment*. Mr. Palmer reports that as a re sult, the families of the bankers »r* growing enthusiastic about Nebras ka's poet laureate. The number of reigning houses In Europe has declined from 41 In 1914 to 17 In 1S22. On the finest car he has ever built—a car that holds its own for speed, perform ance, endurance, economy, hill climbing, and beauty with any car. No manufacturer can duplicate Cole’s quality at Cole’s price without adopting the Cole merchandising plan or a similar one. A Car which sold for S3650.00 in Omaha a year ago is now offered for /C o . A . fndi&T\&polts. Let Us Face Facts The chief cost of living in our modern complex civilization is get ting the product from the producer to the consumer. This applies to food, clothing, luxuries—everything. Added to this ordinary cost in the motor car industry, we have ha<f the extraordinary cost brought about by trading allowances and long discounts. It has been a common practice among automobile manufacturers to allow from one to five hundred dollars trading allowance. Remove the “trade-in” practice and by one stroke you remove the necessity of all allowances. Long discoi^its have been granted. The dealer had to have the margin to cover his used car losses. By the Cole plan his losses are discontinued. This makes it possible to reduce the long discount, thereby saving the consumer twenty per cent on the list price. Under the Cole plan, Cole purchasers no longer have to pay for this economic waste involved in the trade-in practice. The discon tinuance of the used car department not only means the'elimination of allowances and long discounts, but also the removal of sixty per cent of the dealer’s operating expense. This saving is passed on to the public, where it belongs. What Big Business Men Think of the Cole and Our Plan Since announcing our progressive plan of merchandising, we have been literally deluged with inquiries and buyers. From early in the morning till late at night our show rooms have been crowded. From the public we have had only congratulations on our courageous and economically sound policy. Said a Banker: ‘Tour plan is the sanest step in automotive merchandising I have observed in twenty years. You are down to real values. I know the Cole and what it will do, and I’m surprised that even with the saving effected by your plan, you can offer such a remarkable car for such a price.” Said the General Manager of one of our largest industries: "T have owned two Coles. Completely satisfying, describes them. At your present price I regard the Cole as saving at least $1,000 over similar quality.” , Said a Grocer: "I have long wanted a fine car. but, owing to heavy investment in business, felt I could not afford it After care ful inspection and investigation of the Cole I am delighted to be able to gratify my ambitions. The Cole price puts a fine car within the feach of thousands." Cole Continues to Lead For thirteen years the Cole has been recognised as one of the principal leaders iu the industry, having been the first car to intro 4 duce such features as the one-man top. removable cylinder head* f<* 8-cylinder cars, demountable rims, vacuum tank, and the strearo-lina, aero type body that many others widely imitated. It continues to lead wherever a premium is put on unusual performance. As in Denver, where demonstrations are made on Pikes Peak. Coles predominate and in Kansas City hundreds of enthusiastic owner* deny the existence of hills. And again Cole leads with a selling policy that is not only destined to—but is actually making automobile history today. “Ther$ Is » Touch of Tomorrow in All Cole Does Today." The Test That Tells * Tut the Cole to the comparative test Gauge it by any standard ——beauty, finish, appointments, power, get-away, speed, safety, ecorv omy, endurance, up-keep, equipment construction, or any ether points you think of—and we’ll leave it to you to decide whether or not our new plan saves you from $1,000 to $1.500—whether it will enable you to own a finer car than you had hoped for. at no increase in maintenance cost In 1923, progressive men are looking forward—they are casting aside old dogmas and prejudices—they are investigating. 1-or jour own satisfaction, if j*ou are even remotely consider ing a new car. call or telephone for ’’The Test That Tells" demon stration. and an explanation of our modern method of helping voa dispose gf yguf gl^ cap, 2200-2202 Farnam Street TRAYNOR AUTOMOBILE CO. • \ COLE MOTOR CAR COMPANY, INDIANAPOLIS, U.S. A. 4f «S55S§il*l®flSlSi!F' 'ip®? . tfb>. fifcl—i Omaha, Nebraska
