Club Women
Approve New
Ordinance
Are Omaha club women going to
take an Interest In the new ordlnanra
for the control of speeding, proposed
at a mass meeting Monday night?
"Women should have even more
interest than men in the suppression
of speeding," said Annn Raymond,
who proposed the ordinance, In an in
terview. "They have the same need
of security, and the fact that so many
children play in the street gives them
a special Interest, v While women are
usually poorer drivers than men, for
tile reason that they do not drive so
often, they do respect life and limb
more.”
Mr. Raymond suggested that the
women's clubs study the proposed or
dinance, which makes its chief pro
vision that no one may drive a car
without possessing a driver's license
Issued only to capable and careful
drivers. Expression of club women's
opinion on it to the city council would
he greatly appreciated by those inter
ested in the measure.
Interviews with Omaha club women
show them concerned about the ex
tent of speeding, and willing to aid in
steps for its prevention, but not very
thoroughly informed al)out the sug
gested statute, and not certain any

thing can be done about It until after
the. holiday season.
The matter will come up at the
next open meeting of the Omaha Wo
man's club on January 7, said Mrs.
W. S. Knight, chairman of the civics
committee of thnt organization.
"There are a tremendous lot of ac
cidents at present, and the women
will support whatever is the best way
to put an end to them,” said Mrs.
Knight. “It is really more important
that the driver of the car he required
to have a. license than that the owner
should, as is the only requirement
now.”
"A deplorable condition exists In
our traffic at present,” mourned Mrs.
J. M. AVelshans,"' head of the current
topics department of the Omaha Wo
man's club. "People have no regard
for life and safety. 1 am in favor of
the new measure.”
“We should eliminate the driver
who won’t consider the danger to
others," maintained Mrs. John Gill.
“I am of the opinion that this could
be done by keeping a closer record of
those who drive cars."
■“I am In favor of anything to stop
speeders,” Mrs. Horace J. Holmes,
district chairman of applied educa
tion for the federation, went on
record. “Most of the trouble comes
from young people of university age.”
"You takf; your life in your hands
when you go on the street nowa
days.” complained Mrs. R. E. MeKel
vy, president of the AVomen's I.engue
of Voters. “Our speeding, however,
is more due to carelessness than to
Incompetence of the drivers. On the
understanding that by the new or
dinance, licenses of drivers who per
sist in carelessness and recklessness
could he suspended or revoked, I am
in favor of the measure."
Mrs. H. J. Bailey believed that all
the women were In favor of the or
dinance, but objected that too much
blame Is placed on the drivers. Pe
destrians have Just ns much a duty
to he careful and to avoid running
risks. She does not drive herself.
t>ne added.
Mrs. William Eocke, president of
the Omaha College club, felt tfcat
the Individual license scheme Is "Just
splendid.” She believes that the Col
lege club women are Interested In
the subject on account of the chil
dren, and because so many of thorn
drive. The club might take the mat
ter up at Its .January meeting through
its home education department, she
suggested.

White Christmas Is
Indications Point
to Snow Fall Soon
Question in Omaha
1 ^ "',m—'
"Say, are we gonna have snow for
Christmas?" Omaha Is Joining In the
latest fad—with spirit. With three
shopping days before the Yuletlde,
Omahans are keeping hot the tele
phone wires leading to' the weather
bureau to find out if It will be cold
ami white December 25.
"It is too early yet to know the
Christinas prediction,” said >1. V.
Robins as he glanced over the weath
er map and gave the forecast of
"cloudy Friday—withiraln or snow.”
"I don't think It's quits cold enough
for snow yet, at leas^not Friday,” he
added.
Many points to the west and south
are fairly well satisfied with the color
‘of the landscape. Old man Winter
was busy with his brush In western
Colorado, eastern Idaho, northern
Utah, central and southern Nevada,
northern Arizona and northern New
Mexico. Clear weather prevailed in
southern and eastern Wyoming, and
the Dakotas. It was generally clear
throughout Nebraska.
Except for a drop of two degrees at
11, the mercury steadfastly held Its
ground, and clung to the 43 degree
mark like a leech from 7 a. in. to 2 In
the afternoon. From that time it be
gan to rise. The temperature at
3:30 was 47. By 6 o'clock, a light
drizzle commenced to settle the dust
on Omaha streets.
Rain fell quite generally yesterday
throughout the lower Ohio and Mis
sissippi river valleys.
Dry bran Is excellent for cleaning
velvet flowers. Simply rub on the
soiled parts and brush off.

Yellow
Cab
Affords Car Owners
Cheaper Winter Mileage
Cost per mile of driving a
car is practically doubled in the
winter months. Anyone who has driven
a car the year around knows that his ex
penses go up as the mercury goes down.
Winter driving means added
wear on tires, expensive radiator
covers and anti-freeze solutions. It
makes winter tops, heating devices and
robes necessary.
Usual costs for gas, oil, tires,
insurance, garage rent, interest
on money and other incidentals are as
high if not higher in winter. Depreciation
on a car if it is in use is greatest from
December to April.
YELLOW CAB service of
fers you a way to avoid the pro
hibitive expense of winter motoring.
You can ride mile for mile in a YELLOW
CAB as cheaply as in your own car and
with much greater convenience and
comfort.
Expense is, however, only
part of the story of cold weather
motoring. In spite of the additional
outlay on your automobile, driving in win
ter is inconvenient and full of discomfort.
Motors balk, radiators
freeze if not closely guarded,
chains must be kept on continuously,
and snow clogs up the garage driveway.
Tools and wrenches stick to your hands
when touched and the steering wheel
numbs your fingers.
Contrast with this the com
fort and convenience of YEL
LOW CAB sendee. All the cares and
trials of driving are shifted from your
shoulders to ours and there remains for
you only comfort and service.
Store your car for the winter
and enjoy the comfort, conven
er ce and economy of YELLOW
CABS. It will actually cost you less and
you will enjoy a much greater measure of
satisfaction. *
