lie Considered.
"The only road material that engineers
have been able to find that will not
flislntegate with time, but will actually
&row harder with age. Is Portland ce
tient," eald Lewis n. FcrRUson, ot Phila
delphia, assistant eecretary of. the Amor
lVnn Portland Cedent .manufacturers, ' in
an address on "Concrete ltoads"' before
the Commercial club. at the public affairs
luncheon yesterday. Mr. Ferguson dwelt
on the subject of tho greater wear on tho
roads from automobiles over that of
horse-drawn vehicle. He pointed out that
last year 35,000 motor trucks were manu
factured in tho United States, and that
the manufacture of these Is greatly on
thA InrrfflRf. Tift concluded then that bv
923 most of the transportation on the
inds would be dono with motor trucks.
nnd this would bo so wearing" on the roads
as to roqulro tho very best and most dur
able material for tfrelr construction.
Civilisation Follow nomli,
Mr. Fergusorr said tho civilization of
nations could bo traced by tho amount
of attention, they had paid to the build
ing of their lilKhways. He regretted tho
fact that his own Bt'ato of Pennsylvania
had voted! down a proposition for l.'sulng
bonds In the sum of 50,(K for the con
struction of good toads, "ond," ho said,
"It Is regrettable to say that the fanners
of that stato' boast that they are tho
ones who defeated the bond proposition."
He pointed oijfc that the farmgrjs would be
the ones most benefited by the roads.
W. V. Hosford was chairman ot thi
meeting. In his Introduction he said that
only IB per cent of the roads in flie coun
try could be said to be Improved at alt.
"Kvery boor road." he said, "is an in
direct tax, and when we como to regard
it as such, wo will take greater Interest
in good roads."

dotng in. tho Omaha district during the

which ho has won the confidence and
friendship of the many dealers through
out Nebraska, Iowa, Bouth Datotn, Colo
rado and Utah, and particularly the largo
number of orders he has been sending in
to the factory through the winter months.
In reply to the question as to Viriw he
accounted for the popularity of his car,
Mr. Redden said:
"It can all be attributed to President

ledge .of what the automobile public de
mands, by planning to build a dependable
five passenger car for $730."

Haynes Exhibit is
Productive of Big
Business in Omaha
"I am positive that the Uaynei exhibit
in tho Down Town garage will bo pro
ductive ot a great amount ot business In
this territory for the reason that hun
dreds of men and women who contem
plate tho purchase ot a motor car, will
visit us," says George II. Strout of the
Haynes company. "That the Haynea car
will be favored by many discriminating
buyers, I nrri sure, because of tho numer
ous appointments we have with people
who aro only waiting to co the Haynes
before placing an order.
"An time goes on I find it easier to
sell the Haynes for many reasons, First,
we havo the confldonco of tho auto
mobllo public, whom we have served uih
Interruptedly for twenty-ono years.
During that time we have seen a great
many changes in the Industry, Many
manufacturers havo come ond gone, and
the owners of such cars experience more
or less difficulty In securing service and
parts; so much so, that the well estab
lished manufacturer Is bocoming a bigger
factor in the sale of cam of all classes.
"This year we have adopted tho Vulcan
electrlo gear shift, a wonderful mechan
ism, that is destined to revolutionize tho
automobile Industry. This rcmarkablo
improvement eliminates tho hand-shift
lever, simplifies driving and adds Im
measurably to the Joys of motoring. It

Rule n Mr Followed While Appeal
In Ural Kstntc HxchnnKc Case
l In tun Supreme
Court.
Pending an appeal to the supremo court
ot tho caso brought by tho Real Ketate
exchange to tost tho Water board's power
tq compel landlords to guaranteo water
rent of tenants, tho board ot directors ot
Iho Metropolitan Water district at a
meeting yesterday afternoon adopted a
resolution directing General Manager It.
Hctcchcr Howell to feqitlro (cttanta to de
posit a minimum ot 13 to cover wutur
rentals for tluco months. Member Ooad
at first objected to thn resolution, my Inst
"Our position in this mHttcr is unten
able. It will work un unduo hardship upon
C,W tenants."
Coad also objected to appealing tho
caso to the supremo court, until Attorney
John L. Wcbstur said ho believed ho.
could win It, although the authorities
wcio equally divided us to tho power of
holding a lien against property for water
charges,
Howell said other cltlos required such
deposits and tbut unless this or some
similar schema wan adopted tho board
would find Itself cntaiiglod In 8,000 ac
counts, an thorn aro tnat many tenant
water consumcte.
General Manager Howell read from tho
report of tho Real Kstato exchange com
mlttco's report' and declared ho had never
contended that a cash deposit uhmlld be
put up, but that landloidu shuuld simply
guarantee the water rcntu of tenants,
Coad contended that the water bills
ought to bo rendered monthly, but How
ill said It was Impossible to read all of
thu 4,0W meters each month, ' Inasmuch
ah from 1 !00 tu 1,600 house occupants
weto nut ot thu illy or away from home.
Member Weud said the complaint was
nut on tho fact that bills wcro not ren
dered monthly became tho consumeis
objected to little monthly statements.
Wend declared tho cash deposit scheme
would not affnet nioi.i than 100 consumers
and here Coad mixed with him.
"It us- a landlord you were not com
pelled to guaranteo your tenants' bills
would you do It?" ho aakod.
"Sure," replied Wead. "Out of charity,
or because I had been doing It or just
wanted to."
"Rut you wouldn't do It as a business
proposition?"
''Ouess not."
"And you wouldn't do it at all."
Finally Coad ald it the board thought
this Hchcmo would bo tho best way out
of It, )m was willing to vote for it, but
he" suld he 'Minted to see tho board adopt
n regulation that ulll work a hardship
on r,wM people"
Concerning the fact that water could
bo shut off ufter notices to pay bills were
Ignored, u substltuto plan suggested by
Coad In connection with tho thirty-day
meter readings, Howell said ho was send
ing nut lift) such notice every motith.
"And Mrw. R. Reocher Howell got one,"
piped F. D, Wead.
Howell's frown of displeasure was
turned full upon Wead and thepceforth
hu contented himself with saying "That's
right," when tho general manager spoke.

or property owner.

REVISED STORY OF GOOSE
THAT LAID GOLDEN EGG
PKNNVAX. T. V., Feb. K.-John R.
Cramer, president of tho Board ot Edu
cation, had n, fine, flock of chickens,
which he was desirous of selling. Un
was told by a prospective purchaser
Who looked at somo ot the eggs that thn
eggs were not white enough for the New;
York market, to which h was shipping.
A friend advised him tiat small doses
ot peroxide of hydrogen, fed In water of
mash, would aid his hens to produca
eggs of tho proper degreo of whiteness.
He tried the experiment nnd the eggs
grew whiter but not fast enough to suit
him. Ho then increased tho doses, but
his hens soon ttopped laying eggs ot any
eclor, and noon began to die. All that
is left ot his flock is one old rooster,
which Mr. Cramer would like to Klva
away.

Tire Ctioice of Thousands
It isn't hard for the man who will take
the time to investigate the Overland to
understand why it has met with such
great success.
It does'nt take an expert to buy an
Overland, because ypu don't have to
hunt for secreted defedts that will
loom up later.
Just as much time is taken ,
in the construction of the
Overland as is given to
the selection of the raw
materials which are used
in building it.
How: would it be possible for the Over
land to make such enormous increases
in its sales year after year, if the car
did not give service to its thousands of drivers.
More Overlands will be built this year than
ever before. More people will drive Overlands
this year than ever before.
More real service will be rendered by the Over
land this year than ever before.
The Overland is better and the
price is lower this year than
ever before.
Will this year find you one of the
thousands of satisfied owners of
this famous car which leads its
class?
