Flanders of the MaVwell com pany. Therefore. Mr. Flanders adds, a big factor In American preparedness will be our large eupply of motor. cars and our ability to build more of them In lre numbers on short notice. Mr. Flanders points jut that there are many spot on our coasta. available for the landing of a hostile force, but acces sible by railroad. An Invader might, therefore mask his attack long enough to beat our defending- force to one of these points, thereby establishing a foot hold. But there are no landing- places on either Atlantic or Pacific coasts not reached by the country roadsroads which light, powerful cars like the Mas well are able to travel handily the year around, and at more than moderate Breeds. Piovlnlona by which these points can be guarded by great numbers of motor care would be i.bvlnuulv nri .f any national plan of preparedness. Mr. i llfciiais beiievea,' Many. Changes in .

"I believe the value of this automobile tourist traffic through a city is areatlv over-exaggerated," said a prom nent busi ness man the other day when approached for membership in the club. Imagine fifty automobiles, each with four passengers, coming Into Omaha all at one, and parading up Farnam street. It would arouse Interest, wouldn't it? And If half of those passengers drove up ta a local hotel and took rooms, the average business man would prick up his ears and smell business. Many a day last summer there were fifty and ovar machines came Into Omaha, and fully half stop off at Omaha. Auto mobile traffic slips In and out of town without much notice. But If a special train cam In over any of the railroads, th valua of the business from a local standpoint would be readily apparent. The club la helping In no small degree to bring traffic through Omaha, and Omaha motorists should fall In line and get behind the club. When tke Rosea nioom Again.

Storage Batteries Need Care in Winter Many car owners are Ignorant of the fact that a storage battery needs speclat attention In winter, even though he goes through the unplessant experience of cranking his motor by hand on a cold morning because his selfstarter won't work.

If a man stores his ear in winter, either on account of extreme cold or In more southerly latitudes, on account of bad roads, he cannot leave the battery with out attention all winter. It should be kept fully charged and full of distilled water Jut as though In use.

Only three hours and forty-five minutes was taken between Omaha and Norfolk.
