In spite of the uncomfortable weather luce the season opened dealers have had about all that they can do to supply the demand for cars. The severe winter mak ing it next to Impossible to automobile, made everybody anxious for the season to open. They have been out in every possible weather and they have been buying oars. The game has been so strong that the 'majority of the dealers have sold their original allotment the first six weeks of the season. All of them have been to their factories urging additional oars and moat of them have got them Ernest Sweet received the following from City: City, Mo., May 15. Lester M.

Ernest Sweet has engaged a suite of rooms In the New City National Bank building and will be in his new quarters as soon as the building is completed. Sweet does not permit his automobile Interests to interfere with his real istate affairs. Indeed he Is all of the time increasing his real estate Interests. W. . L.

Sulli van of South Omaha purchased Oakland Brought down to the last anaylsls, however. it is found that he plays a most important part in the makeup of the car and Its reli ability. That man Is the laboratory chief. At the I'lerco-Arrow plant at Buffalo, the laboratfy Is in a conspicuous place in the factory, but the doors to it lire kept closed except to those who are especially inter ested since aside from the huge pjiycical testing machinery there Is little in the rows and rows of bottles that would interest the casual visitor. It Is In this department, however, that no small portion of the success of the Plerce-Arrow cars is worked out. Some idea of the work done may be gained from the fact that between 10,000 and 12.000 determin ations of the constituents of metals are made every year Almost every form of metal used In the trades is tested out dur ing the course of a year and should a ship ment of forglngs or castings fall below specifications, the laboratory is the first to' announce the fact It is there that the ten sile strength tests are made, too, and for this purpose a 100,000-pound testing machine is kept in service. 1 5 If HENRY H. VAN BRUNT of Council Bluffs, Iowa. rising and plugging for their cars has linked their names to their cars. When one speaks of Huffman, one thinks of the Inter-State, and his Hupmobile. It is natural to call Drummond's name when the Write Steamer is mentioned The Over land suggests Henry H. Van Brunt; Chalmers-Detroit, Fredrickeon; The Oadillao and Stevena-Duryea, Kinball; Baker Elec tric and Packard, Demise Barkalow; Stod-dard-Dayton, Colonel Dertght; The Ram bler, Dick Stewart, and others who have entered the business since' these,' and who are perlsistent advertisers and are well known. . The official record in the office of the secretary of state shows tho sale of cars The Mid West Airto company, agents for Cole 30, is being congratulated upon the fine showing made In Lake Geneva run last week. The Cole 30 not only made first in the Economy test, but where certificates were granted to winners In each class, according to the list price of the car, the Cole won the certificate in class SA. - Charles Merz, who was connected with the Standard Auto company here, is now in Indianapolis, getting the National in trim for the Speedway races. Mers is one of the best young drivers In the country. Otto , Nestman, an . old racing man, has left the sales department of cars and is now running a repair house. Nestman knows the ins and outs of cars, and will succeed. The Paxton-Mitchell company will move into its new place during the coming month. This is one of the most modern exclusive -J A. V-' J 0s last week of the Mclntyre Auto com pany. ' Charles F. Louk is in the east to bring out new shipments of cars. Guy L. Smith has made the Franklin and Peerless cars one of the - most popular ' nr. In this t i r ) n lt h, rdiintrv Qmlh has pulled for them In season and out. He has booked no cars except the Frank ling and Peerless, and his name has be come linked to theiir so that whenever either is mentioned, one naturally things of 8raith. There are several dealers in Omaha, however, whose ptrsfteut advtr- In Nebraska last month as follows: Buick, 116; Ford. 10J; Overland. 9S, Maxwell, $6; Reo. 57; K. M. F.. U: Oakland.

During the week ended May H. registra tion of motor cars In New York state showed Buick again first, with 135 cars. Ford was second, with eighty-nine cars. Henry Peterson of South Omaha has opened an automobile garage at 436-38-40 North Twenty-fifth street, styled the South Omaha Auto company. He has associated with him his son, H. N. Peterson, who Is an expert automobile man. They will han die the Carter car. Deal and Imperial, and do all kinds, of repairs. Henry ,H. Van Brunt has bought another large shipment of Overlamls and is ready to make his usual immediate devtlerles. "This is how to get ahead of Henry Van Brunt," said an auto man yesterday. 8o far as outward appearance go. there Is one man in the' high grade motor car factory whose services show very little. garages In the west. E. H. Wilson Is man ager of the company, and Is experienced ana capable, lie went to Chicago last month and purchased new machinery for xne plant. uenise Barkalow hasn't handled the Packard longer than a season, but he has made its sales in this section far exceed his allotment. ine stearns has attracted a great deal or attention since the Wallace Auto com pany Drought it out. Ite sales have been fine and many of these oars are seen on the streets. The H. A. C. brought out by Sweet-Edwards Auto company, Is attracting atten tion now along auto row. It is a large, roomy car, graceful and powerful, and for 12.300 Is considered one of the best cars in the country. It has made good east and Ernest Sweet will make It a winner In Nebraska. President Wyllle of the Oberland com pany, was the guest of Henry H. Van Brunt of Council Bluffs, not many days ago. Hi was returning from California where he had spent the winter. - Mr. Van Brunt in his usual hospitable maoner, showed the bead of the great automobile manufactory a pleasant time, and Incidentally went over the season's business wrth him. Mr. Wyllis was delighted with Council Bluffs and Omaha. The record of sales made by the Van Brunt Auto company was particularly gratifying. The rise of Mr. Wyllis to the presidency of one of the greatest automo bile concerns In the country, make a story of Intense Interest. In another part of the paper Mr. Van Brunt tella the story. It is worth reading, Whether, one is a dealer or not, or whether one owns an Overland or any other make of machine. The Kissel Kar people have brought out the Warren Detroit. They have made a suc cess so far with the Kissel, and It looks as if they will make the Warren Detroit go like hot cakes. Mansfield & Holt are a team of good strong workers and generally impress a customer. George Relm, manager for R. R. Kimball, has a faith in the Cadillac that will move a small mountain, hi friends 'say, and his love for Stevens Duryea amounts to a wot ship of the fiercest sort. Wlllard Hosford wears a great smile these days. The Velles have begun to come He Is filling orders to beat the band, and If the shipments keep up, there will be "some Velies gwine on around here." H. E. Sidles, general manager at Lincoln, of Nebraska Buick company, is looked upon as the best automobile man in his part of the state. He Is one of the coming men of the west In his line. Lee Huff, local manager of the Nebraska Buick, is one of the best posted men In cars In the country. It Is about as Important for a dealer to advertise the cars that he has sold, as it is to advertise those he hopes to sell. Sat isfied customers of cars are the greatest strength of the dealer's business. Men and women like to see their car written about They like to know that Mr. Dealer thinks enough of his machine to make a fuss over it, and that his sales did not stop with their purchase, ' The special automobile editions of The Bee have been praised unstintlngly over the country. In some sections their makeup has been adopted by good papers, their front pages taken and the matter used in the ads has been appropriated. The Bee's special editions are boosts for the automobile game. They are the eame thing to It, that a state fair is to agricul ture and stock raising. In these editions is centered every good thing, and Interesting thing that can be said of automobiles. Wide awake dealers welcome these specials. Their advertising is worth Just about four times as much as it is In an ordinary number. Idea.. The plaque Is thirty-two Inches In length and sixteen throe-fourths Inches In depth. In general the .idea shows the Glid-d-n trail coming out of the southwest and entering Chicago, which is vaguely shown In the foreground by towering buildings. In the right of the plaque are two figures, one representative of Chicago holding out the palm leaf of victory, while the other Is a female figure symbolical of motor tech nique. These two figures are seated on a carved bench, on the side of which Ir the American Automobile association emblem. In the left-hand lower corner are the shield of Chicago and the emblem of the Chicago Motor club. All three emblems are to be finished In colored enamel, while more enamel work will be found In the upper corners of the plaque. Adjustment of Ilrakrs. The adjustment of the -brakes is even more important than that of the bearing. They require treating according to their individual construction. Two points, how ever, should be borne In mind: First, that the pedal or hund lever should not he at the limit of Its stroke, even when the brake la a hard one; and, second, that the brak ing surfaces should not rub anywhere when the brake is off.
