Tha traditional Lenten quiet so far has
not been at all oppressive, or even notice
able. With the annual Automobile ahow
beginning Aah Wednesday, there haa been
plenty of excitement, large crowda going
each day, and after attending the ahow,
many Informal cafe suppera were given.
Since the women have become keen about
driving their own care, they have found It
' necessary to know something about their
machlnea and they have taken thla oppor
tunity to study automobiles. Although
there are a few people who never expect to
own a car, many take an interest In them
just the same, and Omaha people would at
tend, If only to "boost."
A little incident happened at the show
on society night which furnished a lot at
fun for those who happened to be near.
Mrs. R. B. Wcsthrooke had Juat bought a
pretty new Franklin runabout and waa sit
ting In the -ear at the ahow. Two young
women passed, and seeing Mrs. Westbraoke
In her car, one said to the other: "
"Look at that girl sitting In that car just
like she owned It."
Initiation week in aome of the sororities
at the University of Nebraska has brought
many a prank and the candidates mostly
from the freshman class,' have been re
duced to a state of amailng meekness In
anticipation of the final dread ordeal. It
remained, however, for two popular girls,
one of whom la from Omaha and the
other from Grand Island to turn the tablet

Rarely have so many social affair been
crowded Into two daya, as there were the
beginning of the week. Both young and old
celebrated Washington's birthday, through
out the city. A pleasant feature of rne of
the large luncheon parties was the play
ing of an orchestra during the luncheon
hour. A program by an orchestra usually
adda much to the cafe luncheon parties,
but few hostesses have home large enough
to accommodate them
The army set Introduced another new
feature In entertaining, the late afternoon

used so that the men may have an op

the popular hours, then 4 to and now

The report thkt tha managers of the
Pennsylvania railroad are consider
ing the reducliTg of tralnloads and the
weight of the enginea for a faster freight
service opens ope of the mint Interesting
problems In the fascinating field of rail
roading. Haa the mogul freight engine
really become too heavy?
Heretofore It lias been the constant tend
denry to employ heavier rriRlnes, with cars
of larger capiclty, and to handle greater
loads. American engineers have made a
Joke of the five, eight and ten Ion freight
cars of European railroads, which cany

little engines that draw theni. but there
may eaally be a limit of economy in big
ness. And the limit may ivw have been
reached, at least, until Mr. Harriman's
anund but Immensely costly idea of wlden
Irg the gauge can be undertaken. ;
There ik much theoretical economy In the
heavy 'engine and the long train. On single
track rallriads. where slde-tnu'ks are

more money alt elouf the line. Much of
their apparent operation economy has thus
been eaten up by maintenance expense.
If there is any analogy between the
freight and passenger bustneaa, lighter,
swifter and more frequent trains ought to
please ahippera. But the decisive factor
Is economy, and there the Pennsylvania's
conclusions will be received with Interest

Robertson had to make a showing In his

she had swelled the egg census. '
