arranging; with their fflctorle for car to
be eihlblted at the show of the Omaha
Automobile Phow association, which la to
be held at the Auditorium February SO-25.
Keener Interest la being; manifested In this
how by the dealers than ever before for
the reason that they look for a better
on next year than during any prevlou
year.
Members of the association will meet
thla week to determine on Home of the de
tail! for the distribution of apace In the
biff building. Indications are that there
will ajraln be a contest for space, with
oma of the dealers disappointed In not
being able to aecure as much as they
would like. It has been so for the last
two shows. Trior to that time It was
more of a problem to fill the apace.
Omaha Is the natural distributing- point
for the middle west, and here Is where
mora machines are sold than In any other
section of the country. The farmer Is now
the big buyer of automobiles, and Judging
from tha Immensity of the corn crops he
will be the big buyer again next year.
Firm which sell cars ,to farmers report a
steady Sale, even at this time of the year,
and some firms that did not sell a car dur
ing November of last year report that they
have been able to sell enough this year
during November to pay their expenses,
which Is quite unusual for the winter
months.
. "We are looking for a big trade next
year," said Lee Huff, manager of the Ne
braska Bulck company. "All firms which
ell to the farmer trade are preparing to
handle mora cars than ever. There Is not
now a town In Nebraska but what has an
automobile agency, and the Omaha show
will draw heavily In tha way of attend
ance from theae dealers. They have long
since found that Omaha, Is their logical
buying point, because of the time saved
In getting cars and also In securing parts
to car In case of a breakdown. This ele
ment of time Is a great thln in tha tuto
tnoblle business. When a man has a car
it is because ha wants to get around the
country quickly and he does not want to
have it laid up for any length of time.
Iff look for big things this year." (
Clark O. Powell of the Powell Supply
company, one of the manager of the com
ing show, is also quite enthusiastic over
the how. Mr. Pcwell la printing a little
booklet relative to the supply business.

Brush
The economy contest between the Brush
runabout and the horse and bupsy. which
has been conducted on the streets of
Omaha during the last two weeks, came
to a close Saturday noon.
Tha results of this content show very in
teresting figures. For Instance, the total
traveling time of the automobile was
forty-one hours and forty minutes, with a
five minutes off the best previous time
made by a hlKh priced automobile, and
maintaining a schedule over badly cut up
roads that was little short of miraculous,
J. C. Skinner, the Mitchell representative
at Stockton, Cal., recently made the run
from that city to Fresno, 138 miles. In
three hours and thirty-five minutes.
This Is Bklnner's third memorable auto
mobile driving exploit with the same close
coupled Mitchell six-cylinder car. which
has completed 8.000 miles of the most
strenuous kind of Pacific coast road grind
ing, with Skinner piloting the car every
mile of the way. Valley highways, moun
tain passes and desert trails made up the
variety of roads traversed since the Stock
ton man obtained the machine, and he has
Informed Sales Manager J. W. Gilson of
the Mltchell-Lewts Motor company at
Racine, Wis., that this wonderful mileage
has been made without taking up a bear
ing In the engine and on the same set of
spark plugs.

Lewla Doty, manager
United Motor
Omaha company, said:
"There is probably nothing in recent In
dustrial history that has surpassed in in
terest the enormous growth of the auto
mobile Industry In this country. It has
grown In eleven years from nothing to a
commanding place with an enormous an
nual output, a vast Investment of capital,
a huge salary roll and haa pulled up with
It a number of minor Industries concerned
In tlie manufacture of accessories, of which
allied interests the manufacture of auto
mobile haa more probably than any other
single Industry.
"With the American tendency to sp-.
ctallze and the habit of the American con
sumer to demand everything that Is new
and to seize, once that stage Is past, upon
everything that la useful and time savtng,
It waa inevitable that the automobile In
dustry should almost from the start as
sume certain features, positively startling
to the originator of the Industry. It 1
true that for once America waa caught
napping In tha beginning of an industrial
revolution and there is no denying the fact
that the automobile gained much headway
In Europe before American designer
seriously took up this modern means of
travel and transportation.
"The question of who Invented the gaso
lene motor and first thought of applying
that principle to a self-propelling vehicle is
of little relative Importance. The fact re
mains that 1 waa In Europe that the
automobile was developed Into something
of a commercial value and It is there that
the painataking and the laborious experi
ments that were necessary were carried
on. That 1 tha fact which explain
America' delay In getting a progressive
grasp of the situation.
"Here and there in America were men
who saw what was coming and who were
working at the problems involved. Too
much credit can not be given to such pion
eer aa Maxwell, Pur-yea, Selden and others,
but something more than that waa needed,
email bodies of enthusiast had to work at
tlie problem from every angle. It was not
work for on man and the experiment In
volved a use f money and a use of time
by a large number of Individuals, working
soparately, but alurigT the same tinea with
no tangible results to cheer them along
from time to time.
"There the American temperament enters
Into the situation, Americans In the mass
can work, out definite problems with a
thoroughness and a speed that cannot be
approached by any other nation. That this
is true Is conclusively proved by the rapid
strides made by American automobile
manufacturers. True It la that Europeans
set the pace abroad, but It was not a great
many years before the American manu
facturer bad not only caught up with his
foreign competitor, but had paused him.
"Thus, after the first painful groping
had been accomplished and It was seen
that a definite future laid before the auto
mobile, hundreds of brilliant Americans
began to concentrate their thoughts and
their work on the definite problems that
separate them from the ultimate goal of
perfection. Thene men have built up the
automobile Industry In America, have put
It In the first rank and have seen from
their unerring Judgment th chance for
kptclallzation, they have worked out
superb selling organ! istlons, developed th
tork car race and made the automobile
a factor of national life. They have per
fected the small, cheap car with Its mani
fold usefulness. They have reduced the
cost of production, which has saved the
public thousand of dollars. They have
the small, fast car most useful to the
physician and hit upon the universal ap
peal made by the use of cars by doctors.
Every physic-Ian who uses a car Is a
powerful aelllng agent for this car, uncon
scious though he may be of his function.
"A similar development Is now taking
place In aviation. It was the foreigner
who first produced tangible result in the
building of aeroplanes, but the recnt
aviation meets held In this country have
conclusively demonstrated that the Wright
brothers, Curtisa and oilier American In
ventor have come up with and have also
passed the European designer of aero
pltnea, aa did the American designer of
automobile pass the European. Through
year of discouragement and eftort, they
have forked out the problem, facing death
in their work. Now the reward baa come
end It has come more sedi!y than it did
In the case of the automobile.
'That the American automobile industry
Is now firmly established is without quri
tlon. H ha passed through its period of
Infantile diseases and bus taken lis right
ful ploe In the world and Is now leading
tha way as an American industry should.
Alrt ady the lesson we have tautht in mak
ing popular and medium priced Car L
Runabout and Horse and Buggy
total mlleaee of 6GS miles. The consump
tion of gasoline was was 19'4 gallons and
lubricating oil four pints, at a net cost of
13.21, making a trifle less than ',i cent
per pnssenRer m!le.
The total traveling time of the horse and
buggy was fifty-three hours and twenty
three minutes. In which time It covered
205 8-10 mlk'S, and In the meantime con
been learned abroad and foreign manufac
turer!! are fast falling In line.
"It used to be said that the automobile
Industry was a manifestation of Inflation,
and pessimists declared that It would
collapse at the first sign of hard times
or depression. Yet it not only kept Its
head above water during the 1M7 panic,
but the sales during ttiat year and since
have eclipsed those of preceding years. The
percentage of failure In the automobile
Industry Is considerably less than in the
majority of Industries In this country. The
automobile has become a part of our na
tional life and has built roads and broad
ened whole communities. It has proved
Its value In the fields of the west, where
a farm Is a large as an English shire.
It is a great force In the life of the whole
country, and the Industry to which It has
given birth Ik safely established upon a
firm foundation of prosperity that is
bound to endure."
Manager Berger-said: "President Wal
ter E. Flander of the E-M-F. company
returned yesterday from New York, where
the annual meeting of the company wa
held Saturday, and the following officer
and directors were elected for the ensuing
years:
"President and general manager, Walter

Frederick P. Delafleld, F. H. McKnlght,
Frederick 8. Fish.
"Owing to the Increased demand for the
$1,000 E-M-F. "30" car the dlrectora decided
to increase the output for December, Jan

An accurate record of the amount of hay, grain, etc., for the horse and the gaso
line, oil, etc., for the Brush Runabout has been kept and an affidavit made to prove
its correctness.
YW-Cm SAVE HONEY
Various stops, such as a business man would require, were made, and the records
show that the horse and buggy averaged 20 miles per day and the cost per passenger
mils was 14-5 ccnt3. The Brush Runabout averaged C3 miles per day and the cost
per passenger mile was less than l2 cent. In other words, the Brush covered 3 1-5
times a3 much ground as the horse and the cost per passenger mile was over 1 3-10
cents less for the Brush.
You cannot figure, without investigating, how many thousands of dollars is rep
resented in the new business made possible by this greatly increased mileage.

sumed 200 pounds of hay and five bushels
of oats. This amount does not Include the
feed consumed on Thanksgiving day and
last Sunday, when there was no contest,
and It really should be added to the up
keep cost of the horse and biiRKy, but the
total cost for the days In which It was
entered In the contest was $3.70. or 1 8-10
cents per passenger mile.
bringing It up to 7,0u0 cars for these four
montfis. In order to accomplish this the
various plants In Detroit, Pontlao and Port
Huron will be worked day and night, and
the manufacturing forces will be Increased
by 1,000 men, which Is a very gratifying
state of affairs at this time of the year.
"The E-M-F. company has 1,500 direct
agents In the Vnlted States, not Including
subsidiary dealers, and the reports from
them Indicate that In part the Increased
demand for the cars Is due to the '30 road
ster, with which Frank Witt has been do
ing sensational performances through the
south, and to the dcml-tonneau, which has
attracted much attention. Both these mod
els will be ready for delivery the latter
part of December. The annual Inventory
will be taken from December 16 to 25, and
after the latter date the force at plant No.
3, where the Flanders 'Vf is manufactured,
will also be Increased.
"The status of the automobile Industry
from our viewpoint la exceedingly grati
fying,' said President Flander yesterday.
'We had prepared for a delivery output of
1,000 car a month for the next four
months, which In Itself is unusual for the
winter months, but order for auch car
have forced us to Increase the output
With our equipment this I not a difficult
matter. It limply mean more work and
more labor.
" Tha demand ha been created by the
1911 'SO model at the $1,000 price, which. In
my Judgment, cannot be approached, and
which set a standard In automobile con
struction.' "Notice were mailed to the dealers yes
terday stating that the delivery specifica
tion for the Increased output will be ap
portioned the first week In December."

"That man Drexel seems to think that
the Irish ought to have everything good,"
some fellow said.
Reflection of a Spark Plaar.
A chauffeur, In the abstract, la any chap
that drives an automlblle. In the concrete,
he Is the person whom you pay to let you
ride In the tonneau. The word chauffeur
comes from the French, and means some
thing warm, like hot air.
The chauffeur Is commonly supposed to
be human, but not necessarily humane.
With him the killing of chickens Is a
pastime, and the maiming of pedestrians
a fine art. He has no speed limit, and
loads a fast life with little to ehau-fer It.
He has more brass than his machine, and
a double molar has lees nerve.
The average chauffeur Is unbearable, but
when driving a Flat six he la Insufferable.
Never careless about his appearance, ex
cept at court, he dresses like his employer
and looks like SO cents. He Is usually In
bad odor, and smells like numerous scents.
One chauffeur can bankrupt two bank
ers, and sometime earns more than his
employer ever did.
He haa three lives: The life he lives,
the life he takes In his hands, and the life
he ought to serve In Jail.
He haa a set of rules which he never
break 8, except when he la in the hospital,
such as:
Never go alow under any circumstances.
Never blow horn except In front of a
church.
Never be on time.
Never show Intelligence or look pleasant.
A rich man has no more show with a
chauffeur than a camel has with the eye
of a needle. George R. Brill in Judge.

Ever Next Year
Grand Prize Event Will Be Held at
Savannah and French Can
May Enter.
NKW TOUK. Teo. S.-The grand prUe
race, wherever It Is held next year, is to
be a blguer thing than ever. Probably
In fact, almost certain the race will be
held at Savannah, where two grand prize
races have been conducted. 'VVhntever the
disposition of this contest, the date and
place will be announced ab nit eight
months In advance and a campaign for a
thoroughly International representation
will be carried on.
This year there were American, German
and Italian cars In the race. Next year.
It Is hoped, there will be Krenrh entries.
Perhaps there will be Kritlsh. too. But,
at any event, th plan now Is to have
more varieties of cars from the foreign
countries than waa the case this time.
There has been an Idea that certain for
eign countries agreed to boycott racing.
As a matter of fact certain makers abroad
did agree not to race for a couple of sea
sons, but that agreement apparently Is st
an end. There has not been anything In
the way of a big automobile road rSce
abroad since Lautenschlager's victory In
the Grand Prix In a Mercedes In 190C. The
foreign makers are oomlng back to tho
game BBaln and It Is thought will be will
ing to compete In this country.
