Statistician Finds St, Louis Paper is Figuring Wrong "Ridiculous," saya the Omaha Auto club. In thus rudely breaking silence, th club has reference to the statement in a 8f. Louis newspaper that there is a continuous automobile parade tiirough Kansas to Ban Francisco. The Omaha Auto club knews better. It says It knows this Is merely put nut as press agent stuff, to make the world think that everyone motoring to Frisco takes th southern routes. "One every eight minutes" is what the Bt. Louis paper said about the autos go ing through to the coast. "One every minutes," wss whst P. T. Barnum said. Only Barnum was not speaking of autos. He wit speaking of the class of people who believe the "one every eight-minutes" story. Now the Omaha Auto club has done a little arithmetic. It has shown that "one every eight minutes" would mean 1.880 autos In a week, or 6,040 a month. Then the Omaha Auto club points out that the trans-continental auto t raffia has as yet hardly started. Therefore, they conclude, that this announcement in the 8t. Louis paper is the most ridiculous Ananias fable, and that the southern cities are almost breaking their veins In an effort to divert all the trafflo through their routes. Then the Omaha Auto club boldly an nounces that at the present time the routes lying through Omaha are being traveled by more autoa than any other roads, and they let the matter drop at 1 that., ;" ' "i ' : ' Saved by Police After Losing Com Chief tof Detectives Steve Malonev re. eelved a telephone call Tuesday morning that two men were robbing a third at Twenty-seventh and Davenport streets.
