WINDOW IN BERG STORE
SMASHER BY BIG AUTO
Steering- Gear of Machine Broke Jaat
as Chauffeur Turned Corner on
Fifteenth Street.
Quick action of an auto brake Sunday
afternoon prevented a car belonging to the
John Peero Flow company from crashing.
at high speed, through a window at the
Berg Clothing company's store. As It was,
one whole section of plate glass on the
Fifteenth street side of the building was
shattered.
C. D. Burns, employed by the Deere com
pany, was driving west along Douglas
atieet at 2:30 o'clock at a good stiff pace.
He turned north Into Fifteenth and just as
he rounded the corner realized that the
steering gear was broken. The machine
headed for the sidewalk, jumped up on the
curb and was heading straight for the
building before Burns got the brake to
working. Just as the big car poked its
nose through the plate glass he brought It
to a standstill.
Tinker Says
with Kling Cubs
Have it Cinched
Shortstop-Actor Believes, Too, that
Noisy John Will Be Back
with Chicago.
"If we can get John Kllng back the race
In the National league will be over In Sep
tember," said Joe Tinker of the Chicago
Cubs, reckoned by many as the greatest
shortstop In the world, at the Rome.
Mr. Tinker Is playing at the Orpheum this
week.
"I believe Kllng will be back with us.
He has written permission from Murphy to
stay out of the game last year, and It
seems to me that all they can have against
him Is that he played against the semi
pros. "I think the changes In rules, as far as
I have been able to study them over, will
be of great benefit to base ball. Tho rule
with the penalty against even a captain
arguing with an umpire will work for the
betterment of the game. I think the rule
about both feet of tho pitcher touching
the plate at the time of delivery, refers to
a habit some of the pitchers have acquired
of stepping way to one side with one foot
or way back. I think It Is simply to keep
the pitcher well within his box and does
not mean he shall keep both feet firmly
planted on the rubber.
"This city of Omaha has sent out some
magnificent ball players and the Cubs have
received their share. I think Seine was the
greatest manager that ever was. He de
veloped many a good ball player from the
rough. He changed Chance from a catcher
to the greatest first baseman In the busi
ness against the wishes of Chance. He
moved me from third to short to my ad
vantage and moved Evers from short to
second and developed the greatest second
baseman of them all.
"The Cubs had the worst kind of luck
last year, or they would have won the
pennant."

How can you expect comfort
in an automobile that is rigid in
construction?
The first thing to be 6ure of when you select an
automobile is comfort.
Look to the springs. If you do not know what
is what in springs go to a good carriage man. Study
the proposition yourself. You will find that semi
elliptic or other form of springs cannot possibly equal
1'ill-elliptic springs. Automobile manufacturers using
'hem do not claim that they do. They use them be
cause their plan of construction will not permit full
elliptic springs.
Comfort does not stop with springs, although the
springs are the main element. There must be flexibilty,
not rigidity. You know how rigid and hard-riding
the lumber wagon is. You would not think of such
rigid construction for a carriage. Why accept it in an
automobile?
The Franklin, like the finest carriage, is flexible
and easy. It has four full-elliptic springs and a wood
chassis frame, the only means by which full comfort
can be secured.
