Chairman of A. A. A. Cannot Sea

National participation In highways
progress Is a thing: which command! In
creasing attention, Former President
Taft cave the subject promlnonco In his
current weekly lecture at Yale university,
and In voicing opposition to federal
postroads had the following to say:

formers Inspired by a feeling that they
want to take from those who have and

objection applies to reclamation of
swamp lands by the government, whereby
localities benefit unduly at the expense
of the whole people,
"It would appear that the former head
of the nation haa not given the good

George C. Dlehl of the American Auto

"TJe co-operation of the federal gov

than those who are more remote. The
existence of the national road, however,
would stimulate the construction of
'feeders' and connecting roads. As to
'taking from those who have to give
to those who have not,' the history of
civilisation Is based on that principle,
money is taken from all the people to
build a harbor at some out-of-the-way
point; a few m'Ulon dollars aro spent to
buna a dam and Irrigation system In
Arizona.; the conservation of forests, and
water powers, and the other natural re
sources In remoto parts of the country
Is costing all the people hundreds of
millions of dollars annually.
In view of these facts, and In view
of the tremendous saving in money and
energy which always follows tho con-
sirucuon of good roads, how can tw.
be any question but that the construction
ot a system of great national highways
connecting the large centers of popula-
uon ana mo state capitals, would bene
fit the whole country by the development
of IU producing and markotlng facili
ties!" REO TRUCK ADDS ONE DAY
TO WEEK TO COMPETITOR
Rupert B. Paris, sales manager of the
Ro Motor Truok oorapany, returning
from a trip through six states, gives the
circumstances In the ease.
A stranger walked into their truck salts
room In Indianapolis. He took a look
about him. 'There It Is." he finally ex
claimed. "And give me one Just like )t"
The truok his eye had stopmd on was
the sturdy little Reo Model II, capacity
1,600 pounds.
"Don't you want u deroonstratloor
asked the salesman.
"BemonstraUbn nothing," was the rei
ply. "My neighbor across the road has
been demonstrating it 'for me long
enough; and if I don't get In the swim
with one pretty quick i won't have any
business left That Reo makes his work
ing week seven days long while mine is
only six."
OMAHA BRANCH FIRESTONE
TIRE COMPANY IS GROWING
The Omaha branch of the Firestone
Tire and Rubber company was opened
In May, 1911, by Tt. X Hirpham, who
came here from Chicago, where he had
spent several years for the some com
pany In tho truck tire business.

Chalmers 1'lant Knlarnvd.
Buildings costing over a quarter of a
million dollars have been added to the
factory of the Chalmers company at De
troit during the last year. The plant Is
now one of the largest and roost com
pletely equipped In the world. The total
floor space of the new buildings totals
something over 1SS.O0O square feet.
New Equipment Iden.
A decidedly new Idea in motor car
equipment was evolved by a recent pur
chaser of a Loxler Six, who ordered the
speedometer placed on the rear of the
front seat, facing the occupants of the
tonneau. The owner ot the car. a Mon
treal man, employs a chauffeur and al
ways rifles' )n the rear'ssat.

Electric Garage
is Rebuilt Since
the Easter Tornado
In the reconstruction of the electrla
garage at Fortieth and Farnam streets
many new features have been added for
the convenience of its many patrons. One
ot these is the excellent car department,
which enables the company to now glvo
flrtt-class service for both electrlo and
gabollne cars. Denlse Barkalow Is also
handling u- line ot accessories for tho
tiado.
In tho reconstruction ot this building
the paint shop now occupies tho entire
north end ot the building and the facili
ties have been greatly Improved. The
rough room occupies about 1,800 square
feet and the burning and cleaning are
done In this room. Tho color room oc
cupies about 3,000 square feet, and the
finishing room occupies about 1,675 square
feet. This room haa a double floor and
has been built as nearly dust proof as
possible, as the finishing process is prob
ably the most essential part ot the
painting.
At the time of the tornado on last
Easter Bunday most of the machinery
was blown Into the street, but It has
been repaired and reinstalled In the ma
chine shop on the second floor. At the
present tlma Mr. Barkalow is having
built In this shop a truck for the use ot
tho company, tha chassis of whloh is a
Baker Electrlo Model "B" and repre
sents a little salvage left from the tor
nado. Across from the machine shop is the
battery room, the same as before the
storm, except that the wiring .is now
overhead, with drop wires, instead . of
running on the floor aa before.
The south end ot the second floor is
devoted to storage purposes. The gen
erator room Is on the first floor, and
cars In any part ot the garage can be
charged from one point. About seventy
five cars can be charged In one night by
one man.
The electric garage Is probably tho only
one In Omaha using vaccuu'm cleaner for
cleaning out tires and cushions. The
clock and chronograph is a very con
venient feature, as it Is a very accurate
and simple device for checking the cars
In and out, as well as the help. The time
part ot this clock was destroyed by the
tornado and a new one has been installed.
This company Is located In the heart
of a, district surrounded by many homes
of automobile owners and Is especially
convenient for the women living In this
neighborhood who own electric cars.
Mr. Barkalow has recently taken on the
famous MoFarland "Six," an excellent
car for this territory, and reports Indi
cate that It Is meeting with general ap
proval ot motor owners. The MoFarland
"Six" has many Individual features which
cannot be found In Other makes and Is
therefore Very attractive to the prospeo
tlve purchaser.

T&o beauty of tho Peerless has no prototype. It is too subtle for amitation. It is a harmony of long, straight lines
and beautiful areas, a cleft composition in wood and steel and brass that makes the beholder feel that these hard ele
ments must have.been plastic when the modeling was done. Through this beauty is seen the majesty of the perfect
machine not the obtrusion of mechanical details but the latent power, the fitness of parts, the flexibility like that
of a living animal, nil wrought into refractory materials and controlled by the light pressure of a finger. '

Study the
Intently as You Do the Car
Do not purchase an automobile of a dealer in whom you cannot have
complete confidence. Personality is a large factor in business dealings. The
vdealer whose personality engenders your confidence in him, whose business
principles are sound, who is prosperous and for whom owners of cars he has
sold aay good words is the logical man from whose firm you can safely pur
chase an automobile. 1
GOOD SERVICE with a poor car is a better buy than poor service -with a good car.
If you would know the value of dealers' service in the operation of an automobile, you have
but to consult men who have owned several different makes of cars and, if you will talk with any
HUDSOI)! owner, you will appreciate the value of the type of service 'We furnish to the owner of
an automobile.
All business is done solely on confidence.
Confidence of one man in another. If you cannot
have confidence in a dealer who sells the car you have
selected, then yours is an unsafe purchase.
The Service You Buy When
Your Choice is a HUDSON -
There is scarcely any limit to which we will not go
to insure HUDSON owners the fullest satisfaction from
their cars. We are more interested in you and your
motoring interests after we have sold you the car than
before you have bought. Yet, we realize that this is
contrary to the attitude of the avierago automobile
concern.
This service that we give you is but keeping faith
with the Hudson Motor Car Company. There is a
clause in our contract with the factory, which insures
every purchaser of the highest standard-of motor car1
service to be had, and this we cheerfully and rigidly
adhere to in our deals with owners.
The New HUDSON "Six" rose to a higher point as
a sales success than any 6-cylinder car has ever seen in
the same length of time it has been on the market.
Its exceptional performance has been unusual among
6-cylinder cars.

f, Its smooth, sweet-running mechanism gives a sensa
tion of flying that is lacking in'a 4-cyUnder .car. You
can throttle it down to 3 miles' an hour onhigh speed
and pick up to 60 miles an hour with smoothness and
case that wilLbe'ajcvelation to you, if you have owned
4-cylinder cars.
You can go through city traffic at 3 miles an hour
on high, with every cylinder hitting as smoothly as if
you were going ten times as fast.
Avoid Disappointment in
Getting Delivery
Ninety, per cent of HUDSON orders are for spring
delivery; hence, within a few days, it will be impossible
to secure a delivery date for a car.
Hence, we cannot impress too strongly upon prospec
tive purchasers the necessity of securing a fixed delivery
date for their cars. .
It would be well to come see the New HUDSON "Six"
at your earliest convenience, or write or phone for new
catalog.
The "54" Phaeton sells at $2450.. The "37V the
