(1IAXWHI, ROBBED OF TITLE ' Should Bddle Rlrkenbacher, tha -famous 'lijurwall pUot or sny of tl.a other spaed tfarooB of premier fame celebrate tha 'first raoa of 19lt by rolling too miles in I two hours, or soma suah revolutionary figure, tha result could be nothing mora thaa an Amarloaa reoord. No such thing as a world's reoord can be success fully claimed, whan tha faat Is aooom pUshad In tha United BUtea, under tha 'sanction of tha American Automobile a.s- sofllatlon. , This strange and anomalous condition arises from tha fact that, with charao- terlsUo Baropaan aloofness, tha automo bile judiciary across tha sea rooognlsee j no perf ormanca In America as really authenUa. Desplta tha fact that many reeent American records axeall thooa on tha I books of the Automobile clubs of Great , Hrltaln and Franca, recent compilations Of European racorda plaoldly Ignoro them snd still refer to venerable European (eats as world's records. Too American Automobile aasootatlon, (after vainly trying to secure mutual raoognltlon which would result In real r table of world'a rooords, baa tempor orUy given up the battle and modestly rafrs to all marks stabllahed under ,fts Jurisdiction as American records- only this ana nc-t'iuig more. One Immediate affect of this condition 1 Is to rob the endurance champion Max well touring ear of tha tochnical right to claim a world's title. Tho Maxwell stock touring car i recently computed, under American Au itotnoblle association supervision, a run ' f 3i.Ki t miles without a motor stop. Tho beet prior American reoord waa less 'than 13,000 miles. In Europe tha best , prior mark was less than 17,000 miles to the credit of the Rolls-Royce. Tat the Maxwell can qualify merely for an American record and the stolid Britons will doubtless continue to regard tho Rolls-Royce as tho world's enduraaoo i ; ; champion until Its record Is beatn In tha limits of their tight little Isle. Were reclnrocal rulea In Deration, tho Maxwell would undoubtedly be granted a worlda record certificate, un'ier nm nollrv. tha American Automobile association can, however, grant merely American certificate of record. Buick Cars Taken as Fast as They Can Be Brought to Omaha Lao Huff, manager of tha Nebraska Bulck Auto company, aays that notwith standing tha fact that tha Bulck Motor company lias Increased Its output to M.0OO cars for tho 191( selling season. there Is still such a shortage of cars that every Bulck dealer Is asking for all tha cars ho can get. to be shipped at one. Ordinarily tho country dealer does not cars to havo cars shipped to htm be fore spring, but they are after every car load that reaches Omaha at this time. Tha local branch at this time last year had about 800 cars in tha warehouso. Now they havo only enough In tha rear of their showroom for Immediate retail de liveries. Thlrtjr-flvo carloads, or HO D-e-46 Bulcks will reach Omaha this week and every car Is to bo dlvortad to soma coun try dealer. Tha local branch has many ordera on hand for retail delivery in tha spring. Tho ovar-lnoroaslng demand for Bulck cars Is proof of tha faot that tha publlo has faith In tha Buiok Motto: "When better automobiles aro built Bulck will build them." n. W. FRANCIS IN H1SJJEW LOCATION The O. W. Francis Auto company Is now located in its now quarters at l-ll Farnam street and is planning upon a big year. Tha C W. Francis Auto com pany Is ono of tha newer companies and with tho assistance of a strong Una, "the Maxwell." tho now company is rapidly growing. The building at tllt-ll Farnam has been completely remodeled and fitted up in moat appropriate style. Rend Tho Bee Want Ada It pays! GOLD CHASSIS FOR OMAHU Famous Studebaker Display Will Come to Omaha Guarded by a Pinkerton Detective. 13 SHIPPED ONLY BT EXPRESS Utmost precautions havo been taken to lnauro tho safe transportation of tho I2S.00O Etudebaker gold chassis around tho circuit of cities where It is being placed on exhibition. As an example, 'whan the curtain waa rung down on the Now Tork automobile ahow, ft. J, Foumier, Cleveland agent of the American Express company, waa on hand to personally conduct tha precious chassis to Clsveland. Ho rode in the special car that carried tho chassis, being accompanied by a Pinkerton man who la anslgned to guard It at motor showo where It Is scheduled to be placed on view. As a further precaution, the chassis was loaded on the special car light in the Grand Central station. New Tork. Instead of being towed over to the freight depot, as was done with the show cars. Fw mission was secured from the New Tork Central officials, Inasmuch as this act set a new precedent. i Hxtreme measures are being taken by the Studebaker corporation to prevent this chassis, containing Sf ounces of pure gold, from being stolen or mutilated. Carrying heavy insurance, this record slae piece of gold is sent from city to city by express, never being entrusted to a freight car. It takes Its place as the most expensive express "package" ever listed. All Will Exhibit. The Importance which this gold chasada. has assumed Is Indicated by tho demand from dealers, automobile show officials; and hotel men all over the country for permission to exhibit It in their cities. R. T. Hodgklns, general sale manager of the Btudobaker corporation, is being swamped with letters and telegrams. When the Pittsburgh auto ahow offi cials learned that the gold chassis would be In Boston during the week of the Pittsburgh show, thsy postponed their exhibit a week in order to accommodate It. Arrangements have been made to ex press the chassis to Pittsburgh at the close of the Boston show. it -sir .wrrmn'inw w rt wVfw:t -i nwimnu w :.JL..'li I. .i eUt-tU.-',t.K tKilLH hH.fiMu-HU'lUi(.llUltlKtel H'WIMIWWW'I I !"
