George Relm Is expected to 'return to
day after a two weeks' western trip In his
Cadillac.
While In Denver last week Mr. Corkhlll,
of the Appcraon Automobile company, had
the pleasure of a ride Irt a new Matheoon
aeroplane. He Is very enthusiastic over
the trip, saying It is the most wonderful
experience of his career.
The Marlon Automobile company of which
, Mr. McDonald is proprietor, reports a
brisk demand for their cars.
Den I ee Barkalow Is In a quandry how to
get more Packard trucks. The demand Is
so great that he cannot fill his orders.
Frank Puray and Bert Murphy made a
trip last week to Sterling, Colo., and re
turned In Murphy's Hupmobtle. They sent
telegrams to several friends asking who
did the driving. Of course the answer was
that. "Murphy Did It" They attracted
considerable attention on account of the
sign attached to the back of their car.
In Immense letters were the - words,
"Around the World." but upon close In
spection, one found in small letters the rest
of the story completing the sentence as
follows; "Is an awfully large way, so we
are not going."
Lewis Covell and Orton Doty were In
Omaha Saturday enroute to Denver In a
Hupmoblle. Their speedometer showed
over 1,800 miles, and up to this point they
had come through without trouble of any
sort.
H. E. Sidles, general manager of the
Nebraska Bulck' Automobile company,
r;ent part of the week In Omaha as the
guest of Lee Huff, local manager of the
company. -
Driving from Cleveland, O., to Pittsburg,
Bedford Springs, Harrlsburg and Gettys
burg, Pa., thence to Cumberland, Md., and
back to Cleveland, one of the new Stearns
Knight models, recently completed one of
the most strenuous mountain runs ever at
tempted. During the three days the oar
covered 796 miles, 680 of which were moun
tain running. Five men and 400 pounds of
luggage and camping materials made up
the load. No attempt was made to break
speed records, the object of the trip being
to test and prove the car and engine In
every conceivable way.,
t
Of twenty-four cars . which started In
the recent one-day reliability run under
the auspices of the St. Louis Auto club,
not one finished- with as . high a score as
did. the Mitchell, model T, 191 car, which
won In the touring car class over a large
number of entries. Most of the run of 138
miles was made In a steady downpour
that followed a. long week of wet weather
and in consequence there were no perfect
time scores. The Mitchell, however, finished
with 999 points, which was six points bet
ter than the next car In the touring class
and one point better than the winner In
the roadster class.
E. C. Morse, a motorist of San Diego,
Cat., had so many experiences with under
powered cars in the deep sand of the
American desert thst he Imposed a rigorous
test in satisfying himself of the capabil
ity of cars. He asked demonstrators In
Los Angeles to drive their cars through
the deep sand of the Loa Angeles river
bottom. After ha had driven through hub
deep sand and up the aides of the steep
river embankment in a Columbia, he pur
chased the demonstrating car, saying It
was the bast performance he had ever seen.
"After going part way up to Pike's Peak
In a large four-cylinder car and seeing the
difficulty with which it got over the
ground, I realise more than ever the ex
traordinary character of the feat of the
Brush runabout that ascended and de
scended this mountain In record time,"
said Frank Briscoe. During a trip through
the west from which he has Just returned,
Mr. Briscoe visited the scene of Fred A.
Trlnkles triumph la a runabout, when the
climb up Plke'.s Peak was made in eight
hours and the Journoy down t In the same
time. The Brush was the only car to
make either trip In less than two days.
M4hy machines have given It up and oth
ers have required as long as seven days.
This climb Is seven miles long with a rls
of three-fourths of a mile.
The Peerless Motor Car company of
Cleveland has Just received a beautifully
engraved certificate from the management
of the Applachlan exposition, held In Knox-
Our 19-12 Announcement of E-M-F "30" and Flanders "20"
models and prices will appear in this paper next Sunday. Watch for it.
CP You have wondered what it would be. Over 8,000 dealers
have written us asking about our 1912 line and our ability to
supply the cars. , You know only about one customer in four
was able to get E-M-F "30" and Flanders "20" cars this season.
Yet we are the largest automobile manufacturers in the world.
cjf We will tell you all about it in the ad next Sunday, and "between the lines" we will, in our usual frank manner, tell you a few inside facts
trade secrets that may assist you in choosing right. Next Sunday read and digest it.

award of the Jury, conferring the first
prlxe for the most magnificent axhlblt of
automobiles, upon this company. The Peer
less Motor Car company will exhibit al
various automobile shows during thq
year and It Is expected that the new line
of si x-cy Under cars and new fore-door
bodies will attract more than the usual
amount of attention. Mr. Guy L. Smith of

After a strenuous threo-day run from
Cleveland through Wheeling, W. Va., via
Toungstown, O., to Columbus, via Zanes

distance of S33 miles.
George H. Strout, for four years sales
manager for the Apperson Bros. Automo

Includes New York, New England, Penn

District of Columbia; and his headquarters
will be at 816 West Forty-eighth street,
New York.
With the presenteday renewal of travel
by road there is becoming more apparent
the imperative need , of a comprehensive
system of sign posting the highways.
The work Is occupying much of the atten
tion of the touring Information board of
the American Automobile association, and
as a result a large part of Chairman
Longstreth's correspondence with the 300
clubs of the national organisation has to
do with this subject.
American Automobile association clubs
have spent substantial sums In marking
the roads in their respective vicinities,
and motorists generally have benefited by
thla now essential adjunct to aid the
traveler who covers not only his own
state, but goes beyond Its coaftnes when
ever it strikes his fancy. Since such a
large and growing class are now to be
served In this manner the conviction has
become fixed that the duty Is one which
devolves upon city, county and state
authorities, wltlj particular reference to
state routes which serve as Unas of Inter
state communication.
Zbyszko Training
Hard for Frank Gotch
Has Been Wrestling All Over Bub
ia Preparing for His Labor -n
Day Battle.
NEW YORK,' July 29 Despatches from
Russia state that Zbyszko, the big Polish
wrestler, who will be on hand to challenge
the winner of the Gotch-Hackensckmldt
match of Labor day, is doing lots of hard
work on the mat. He has been, wrestling
in Waraaw, Posen and other Russian
cities, and Is to finish up In London after
viRlting Brussels and Paris.
At Warsaw he defeated Anton Le Barre,
a Frenchman, In twenty-seven minutes.
Nearly 11.000 persons paid to see the match
and the gate receipts were over 111.600.
Manager Jack Herman, who is with
Zbysxko, writes home to say that he has
come across a great many big men in
Russia, several weighing 300 pounds, and
that some of these fellows will make the
champion hustle in a year's time. Zbysxko
will arrive In America about November 10.
Hackenachmldt Is training hard on the
other side for his next meeting with Gotch.

Bordino Anxious to
Race Bob Burman
for Championship
Italian Driver Would Match His Skill
Against the American Speed
Artist
NEW YORK, July . Bob Burman is
anxious to race P. Bordino, the celebrated
Italian driver, for the world's champion
ship, and has Issued a challenge for a
match with his 200-horsepower Bens. Bor
dino recently at Saltburn-by-the-8ea, driv
ing a 300-horsepower Flat, lowered the
world's record'for one hour when he trav
eled 116.13 miles In sixty minutes, or twenty
six miles less than Burman averaged when
he dethroned Barney Oldfield.
The record of Bordino eclipses the best
performance of any of the foreign pilots
with a fast car since Burman took into
camp the record' of Camlle JanatBky, who
drove his famous kilometer In 161 seconds
at Ostend, and who lowered the record of
Oldfield made at Florida. Burman's tlm
was 15. SS seconds.
To bring about a contest between the
European and the American, E. A. Moross
has Issued the following challenge to the
Fiat company with the hopes of se
curing a match, to take place In America,
that will become the real classic for motor
ing contests, in fact, nothing less than a
match between the world's fastest cars,
cars which previous to this time have
been confined almost exclusively to record
work only. Until the recent Fourth of July
meet at Brighton Beach, the Blltsen Bern
has always been used for an exhibition
car, . but Burman, unlike Oldfield, has
shown a willingness to use It in open com
petition. There are many, however, who
consider the Blltten Bens a short-distance
car, but In order to get a match with the
celebrated foreigner, Burman Is willing that
the distance of the match be between, five
miles and 100 miles, whichever Bordino
may select.
Talking of the match, E. A. Moross, who
Is backing Burman, said: "I desire that
Fred J. Wagner be elected to start this
event and I further desire that the first
deposits of $2,600 for each driver be paid
Into his hands. The balance of the wager
up to 110,000 to be handled in any way that
may be suggested consistent with satisfac
tion to all parties: It will take but little
time to negotiate the whole deal.
"If Brighton Beach Is selected as the
motordrome over which the race shall be
run, and this seems the logical battle
ground, as both the Bens Auto Import com
pany and the Flat Auto Import com
pany are located In New York City, I would
like to see It run on this course at the
Labor Day meet, as Burman Is entered
with his Bens for that meet, and, further,
as the world's record for a mile Is held
by Burman, made at the Brighton Beach
motordrome, when he shattered the mark
of De Palma and placed It at 48.72, this
proves that the. motordrome is as fast as
any track in the United States of the dirt
track type, while I also believe that it
would insure the largest purse to the win
ning driver to compete here.
"One clause, however, I insist upon Is,
that the winner take all, while the forfeit
must be deposited the day that negoti
ations are opened."
Iwlmmlaf Events Allotted.
NEW YOKK.tJuly 29. Chairman James
L. SuUlvan of the championship commit
tee of the Amateur Athletic union has an
nounced that the outdoor swimming cham
pionships for 1911 have been allotted as
follows: 440-yard swim. New York Athletto
club, August 19; - 880-yard swim. South
Shore club, Chicago, August B; 10-mile
river swim, Missouri Athletic club, St.
Louis, August 19; high diving champion
ship. New York Athletic club, September 4.
The mile swim will probably be held by
some local club.

Omaha Motor Club
Offers Reward for
Arrest of Thieves
Effort to Be Hade to Stop the Steal
ing of Automobiles Thieves
to Be Prosecuted.
Owing to the large number of thefts of
automobiles in Omaha during the last few
months, the Omaha Motor club offers a
reward of $25 for the arrest or for Informa
tion leading to the arrest and conviction of
anyone found guilty of stealing or damag
ing one of its member's cars.
This action on the part of tho club was
taken at a meeting of the directors of the
organisation at which the matter was dis
cussed and various ways and means sug
gested for the prevention, of repetitions of
the recent thefts such as the Amos and
Powell machines. It came also as the re
sult of numerous requests from its members
for protection at the hands of the olub as
an organisation, not a few of whom have
snffered losses by theft, resulting fre
quently in the complete loss of the car and
in others serious damage to the machine.
Many of the club members say that they
hesitate to leave their cars on the curb un
guarded, and as there are no devices on
the market for locking them the risk of
loss or damage, they say, is always present.
Among the club' members are a number
of prominent attorneys, and their services
have been tendered the club free of charge
to push the prosecution of any such cases
coming up. In addition to this the club
will use every method at Its command .to
prosecute the offenders and endeavor to
put a stop to the practice.
WASHINGTON OFFICIALS
' SEE WAR AUTOMOBILES
Cars Eqatpped with Armament and
Wireless Arc Demonstrated at
Aviation Collear.
Within the last week army officials and
aviation experts at Washington have been
given an interesting demonstration of the
automobile's defensive utility In ttme of
war by the four Cadillacs owned by the
Northwestern Military academy of Chicago.
General Allen of the signal corps was par
ticularly Interested in the two cars which
carry wireless telegraph outfits, and Cap
tain C. De Forest Chandler, one of the
army's most brilliant aviation students,
said, referring to the two which carry
rapid-fire guns: "This outfit of aeroplane
and balloon destroyers looks mighty formi
dable to me." The demonstration at Wash
ington was an Important Incident In a
tour of 1,000 miles which thirteen North
western cadeta are making In their war
Cadillacs. Major R. P. Davidson, com
mandant of the academy; Lieutenant R. T.
Seals, U. 8. A., and Captain W. C. Cook
of the Illinois National Guard, are in com
mand of the tour.
No actual firing was done at the army
aeroplanes at College Park, of course, but
the guns were trained on the flyers, and
the latter were theoretically destroyed.
The battery consists of two Cadillac gun
carriages which went through the Glldden
tour of 1910, experimenting for the govern
ment as balloon destroyers, and two 1911
Cadillacs uniquely equipped for wireless
teelgraphy. - The electricity is developed
from a generator run off the engine, and
with the aid of a telescope mast, which
runs sixty-five feet high, messages can be
readily sent from thirty-five to fifty miles.
A balloon, which Is part of the equipment
of eaoh machine, can be Inflated by hy
drogen gas. and with this equipment the
antennae wires can be carried to any
height and the sending and receiving power
of the machines greatly Increased.
Over the engine hood are mounted auto
We will tell you all about it in the ad. Meantime, suffice it is to say, we
are doubling our factory facilities to make oyer 300 cars per day. Even at
that w& cannot hope to fully meet the demand for these cars for, as in the
past, this famous line will set the standard for the world in automobile values.
Let others follow; they cannot hope to catch up. Let them cut prices, they cannot equal our values.
