"What irnt you out for to ae?" might
have brori Urn fUPllon aaked the hundred
ho patronised the automobile ahow at
the Auaitorlum lent night as It wai ad
dressed ' to rertaln folk In the days of old.
It wan tTullaily a slKhti-ec-lna; crowd wlwn
contract 4 with thu a.iKcmblago to be seen
tn tho alilia Tuesday nlrht. Although not
alto(?KheK there out of Ulle curiosity, the
attitude Was different. Ono displayed the
keen 'apiiroclatlnn of .the cotinolseur; the
other beard the divergent points of the
several machines expatiated upon with the
Interest1 of tho man In the street. But the
agents of'.tho company were satisfied with
the attention they received. It Is not every
Jay or nltfht business can be done and they
reconciled themselves with the thought
that the . grain of mustard B'ed dropped
by the waysldo mlRht some day become a
bltf tree that ttio Interest aroused casually
might develop Into a craving that would
not be satisfied until the person posseaaed
had become the possessor of a model da
luxe.
I'aliMc Alive to Importance.
The promoters were gratified at the at
tendance 'as It showed that the lntereat
Jn the show was growing and that the
general public - of Omaha was becoming
alive to the Importance of the exhibition
as an adjunct to tha development of the
prosperity of the city. .Many from out of
town were to be found among the groups
that sauntered throuRh the aisles and the
big hull '.glowing In the rfulgence of Hs
myriad electric lights presented a scene
of animation and beauty. ,. .
Tor.igh will be society night when It is
anticipated the fair women and brave men
of the chy and the surrounding districts
will give their patronage to the ahow and
lend it their influence' towards increasing
Its hold on the position. It has attained aa
the leading automobile exhibition of the
mldwwst.; Friday will see the influx of a
numerous contingent of dealers from
various purts of the state, Iowa, South
Dakota and Kunsus and that day la being
looked forward to as ono of the groat
booming days of the show of 1D10. '
Many Iluyc-ra at Hand.'
J. J.'tHright will have a new car at the

Mercer. ' v y
"This has been the greatest selling show
we ever tiad,' said Denize Barkaldw of the
Electric Oarage company. "We have sold
every car in our booth but one and have
Bold nearly all our allotment of some of the
higher grade cars."... (
Manx ' (he dealers are finding the same
condition true with them,' aa no show ever
held In Omaha bas brought In so many
buyers fl'hey came early and are staying
through tjie snow. Whe the blizzard raged,
on the outside, wheto kept ,many,lpcal
visitor from the show Tutsday,. the buttd
Jng was well filled' with visitor from Out
town Who had come to buy.
faonie of the big cars were sold as soon

' I.Ike Implement Convention.
"This show reminds me of an Implement
dealers' convention," said Roy Coffeen,
manager of the Racine Battley company',
Which is showing the Firestone Columbus
car. ' "It aeom as if all the Implement
dealers of Nebraska have added a line of
automobiles and nearly all are visiting the

They all are buying heavy in anticipation
of a big business this season. We hav
made several good 'Bale to dealers."

The Roger has made Its appearance In
the market. And a smart car It Is. It Is
made by the Roper Motor Car company
In Omaha. It Is a superior car and Is
sure to become one of the popular car
for business men of the weat where there
are hill and mud.
"No matter how good the car Is or
the follow who sell it, It takes advertis
ing to do the work," said an' eastern auto
man yesterday. "People listen to news
paper. Newspapers can speak to so many
more than a dealer can speak to. ineyve
got him skinned four ways. Beside who
ants to own a car about which noboay
is talking, and of which the newspapers
are saying nothing. The fellow' who thinks
can aell car by 'main strength' la a
goner."

as a way of Impressing people, and no

Auditorium, they hang on and climb over
hia Reoa like kittens.
Sound
Sleep
Refreshes the body for the
activity of the next day. -
.'But if the food we eat is
not fully digested it is liable
to ferment in the stomach
and cause "gas and that may
disturb sleep so that we rise
more tirod than when we
went to bed.
Grape-Nuts
FOOD
Made from wheat and bar
ley is pleasant to the taste
and so easily digested that
sound sleep follows a supper
of this food with cream or
good in ilk'.
It. builds- up the body,
brain and muscle ami gives
a rosy glow of health.

The Rauch A Lang company of Cleve
land, 'whose vehicles are shown by Electric
garage, is a concern the growth of which
ha been most phenomenal.
Known for fifty-eight years' . a makers
of the finest carriages in the country, the
Rauch & Lang company ten years ago de
cided to enter the ranks of the electrts
car field.'
Three year after the company entered
the same the first machine was placed on
the market '
The founder of the concern was Mr.
Charles Rauch, who, In 1863, built a small
way-side carriage shop on West Twenty
fifth street, which was then known as
Pearl atreet. As business grew, shop space
was added, until now the square feet of ;
room utilised In the manufacture of the
Rauch & Lang electrics is 275,000. .
At the Automobile show at Portland,
Ore., the only air-cooled motor car shown
waa the Franklin, and in order to give its
cooling system an extreme test a seventy-two-hour,
nostop run waa made .'with
one of the Franklin ears. This ended with
out a algn of overheating of the engine or
adjustment or replacement of any of Its
parts during the three day of continuous
work.
The Franklin with' which the test was
made was a five-passenger touring- car
driven by a four-oyjlnder elghteen-horae
power engine. The run was made through
good and bad streets In the city and out
to numerous suburban towns; steep grades
and deep mud were, encountered. The dis
tance covered waa KM miles.
A safe rule by which' the automobile
owner will always. know when hla tlrea
are tightly Inflated, Is the tires must stand
up full and round under, the load. The
pressure gaugea do riot make .allowance for
overloading and practically all tires are
subjected to frequent overoladlng. '
"Suppose for Instance." said Mr. Welgele,
explaining the Diamond' contention, "that
the car weighs 3.000 pound and the ttrea
are pumped to the pressure called for op
posite this weight on the table of preasurea.
Tou have only to take aboard two peraons
averaging 150 pounds to Increase the weight
upon the tires 10 per cent and then the
tires are not sufficiently Inflated. The de
sirability of keeping tlrea pumped up ao
hard that they will not flatten under a
load ilea in the faot that thla will greatly
Increase the service.
