Harry Lauder Rides
In Saxon Decorated
In Plaid Colors
( Harry Lauder's return to New Tork re
cently from across the water was an
auspicious event, and a Saxon "Six"
touring car,' painted In a Scotch plaid
effect helped to make it so.
Upon his arrival In Gotham, Mr. Lauder
was met by a band of Scotch Kilties and
the unique Saxon car. After the recep
tion to him and Mrs. Lauder at the pier,
.he plied into the machine and was es
corted by the Scotch delegation across
.town, thence up and down Fifth avenue
and Broadway.
It Is estimated that 160,000 people wit
nessed the parade" along New York's two
most popular thoroughfare Lauder said
he was more Impressed, however, with
the ride than with tha slse of the cheer
ing crowds, and, after it was all over,
he sat down and penned the following:
"I could aay much In favor o" the Saxon
car, "but brevity la the soul o wit. ' Te
have In the Saxon car something to suit
the folk. It Is really a grand article
runs as steady and sound as a rock."

by tho Omaha Au

the use of Us mem
bers when timklng
short tours into
Iowa. A srlendld
choico of Teuton Is
liore given to At
lantic on the north
and Malvern and
lied Oak on the
south.
A very pretty loop can be made by
taking the Blue Grass road to Glen wood
and, Malvern and Hastings, and then
north through Henderson and Macedonia
to Carson, where you strike the Short
Lino, which takes you back to Council
Bluffs. The trip to Glenwood, along the
Iowa bluffs, Is without a peer In this
part of the country. Tou can prolong this
38 M
trip by pushing on east to Emerson and
Red Oak, north through Elliott to Gris
wold, and then back over the Short Line.
Another loop Is to Glenwood, then west
to Pacific Junction and ovc-r the river
road through Folsom into Council Bluffs.
Or you can take the White Pole road
to either Oakland or Lewis, drop south
to the Short Line, and In; or, further,
yon can go north from Oakland or Lewis
to Atlantic and back home over the
Com Belt route.
With an early start you can make the
entire loop; either snath via the lilue
Grass and then up te tho Corn Hrlt, or
east on the latter and' home on the
former.
Another wsy would be to travel on nil
t
four roads by dropping down to the
next route at any of '.he Intersecting:
towns or pmukimoi)".
The Omaha motorist who has never

Heard
At the Omaha

All members of the Omaha Automobile

Fontenelle. The club has secured a

his duty to attend the annual and hear
of the progress. The Omaha Automobile
club Is now counted one of the strongest
automobile clubs of the country, and one

Uses Snow for Water.
T. S. Hill, of Whitehall, Montana,
touring overland, stopped off at Omaha
and told the assistant secretary of the
club that he' was forced to use snow
In his radiator Instead of water when
traveling from Sheridan, Wyo., down
to Casper.. He ran Into nine inches of
snow i and for nearly thlrty-flvc miles
saw no living thing. Hill says that the
Yellowstone trail is going to be the most
beautiful highway in the country. From
Butte to Miles City the old sheep Herd
ers' log huts along the way have been
fixed up with stoves and coffee pots for
the accommodation of tourists who wish
to camp along the way.
Total Road Signs Placed.
The sign car has placed, to date, 1.020
signs. This Is one of the Important fea
tures of the club work and one that Is
much appreciated.
Santa Claus's pack this Christmas," says
H. S. Daniels of the KtseolKar. "Many
who had thought to buy a car next spring
are seeing the wisdom of hastening the
purchase and giving their families the
great benefit and comfort of .a closed
car.' The All-Year car, an Innovation of
Kissel's, has made this possible without
owning two csrs. The All-Year car has
certainly added much to the utility and
economy of motoring."
