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.

Fair Egyptians Prefer
to Keep Charms Veiled

Women Aware That Touch of Mystery Makes Them
More Alluring and Bewitching—Gain Civil Recogni
tion by Charms Rather Than Bomb Throwing.
.Shanghai, Feb. 24.—According to
Mrs. Ernest Thompson He ton, here
following a tour of Egypt, the beauti
ful women of Egypt do not wish to
give up their veils, because they re
alize that they are more alluring, be
witching and mysterious with the veil
than without it.
The Egyptian women of all classes

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

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.

"I have a little daughter,” said the
young queen, with large dorp eyes

and she will be able to go about like
an American girl and see (lie world."

Bankers Learn !\eihardt Poems
Public Speaking Class Memorizing Verse Appear

Tribute to Nebraska Poet Laureate.

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

The number of reigning houses In
Europe has declined from 41 In 1914

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.
