At a recent hUl-climbtng contest at
Montrose, Colo., a Dodge Brothers car
performed a feat never before attemped
on a hill near the town by climbing
to the top with nine passengers weighing
a total of 1.780 pounds.
" The contra was started for cars carry

Krothers car won easily. A aeven-pas-enger
car that had stalled requested
permission to cut Its load to five and It
then was successful. But to demonstrate
its superior power, the Dodge Brothers
car was loaded with four men In addition
to 'Its first passengers and easily made
the top.
The hill was but 0 feet long, but It
wjs crooked and the average grade was
J6.U per cent, the steepest portion having
a grade of 45.21 per cent and the moat
(we! part a grade of only 7 per cent.
There were originally a number of cars
rent rfuled to try the climb, but when
storting time arrived only three would
compete.

Matters Case Will
Come Before Court
of Appeals in May
The raea of Thomas H. Matters of
Omaha Is scheduled to come up before
tha United btatea circuit court of appeals
at PL Paul, Minn., May It, according to
a printed Hat of the caaea Just received
litre. . Matters waa convicted of aiding
and abetting President Lueben of a de
funct 8utton. Neb., bank In illegal finan
cial operations and la under sentence of
six years' imprisonment
A big victory for rlctlmg and fu
ture patrons of to-called . "loan
sharks" Is found in the action of the
Nebraska supreme court In decla: ' .g
the present "loan shark" law to be
constitutional.
Tha high tribunal affirmed the
Judgment of the district court here
last August, In the test rase of the
State against Jules AHbaus, an
Omaha money lender, who was con
victed and fined for lending money
without license and for charging an
excessive rate of Interest.
Edward Simon, J. P. Falmer,
Nela Lungren and other Omaha leg
islators who were prominent In en
acting the present law, expressed
themselves as gratified oyer the su
preme court'a decision In upholding
the law.
"It mesns a great deal to poor and
unfortunate people, who are forced to
borrow money," they declared. "The re
ault will be that the interests of such
people will be safeguarded under the
licensing provision of the law, and not
over 10 per rent per year Interest can be
charged. Instead of 100 to SCO per cent, as
heretofore. '
. Kabat Inpwti Fine.
City Prosecutor T. 3. McOuire. then
acting prosecutor, secured the conviction
and fining of Althsus In the test case
last August. Acting Police Magistrate
C. If. Kubat fined Althaua I7& and coats.
On appeal to the district court. Judge
Willis G. Bears overruled a motion in
arrest of Judgment, baaed upon allega
tions that the law waa unconstitutional,
In that It violated both state and federal
constitutions.
The case against Althaua waa . based
upon tha charge that he made a loan to
Alonxo 1L Wlnalow without having a
license under the anti-loan shark law,
and he charged Sty per cent per annum
interest and auo exacted a cnaiiei morv
gage and an aaatgnment of salary and
pension.
It Is expected .that tha upholding of
tha new law will drive many of the
usurious loan sharks out of business, as
they probably will not be content with
tha maximum of 10 per cent per annum
interest on their loans.

Complete
Jdoior Cars
IN addition to the element of con
venience, motoring can and right
ly should be a pleasure" and rec
reation free from the endless an-'
noyanccs due to inadequate equip
ment. '
It is true that electric starting and
lighting systems, demountable rims
and other refinements can be pur-'
chased and added to the car that
lacks these devices. But experience
haa shown that to buy the entire and
finished car from one manufacturer '
is not only less expensive, but much
more satisfactory in that responsi
bility for the whole product can be
'centered in one institution.

course, provided with every acces
sory of established merit that would

OME, brother wake up. Sniff the air and you will find
that the thrilling breath of spring already there.
, Look about you. Sense the newest the freshness of it
all. See how the laggard step of the crowd has quickened
into a full swinging stride.
See those cars "break" at the traffic officer's whistle watch
them come down three or four abreast at the "getaway"
hear the shrill, merry note of the sirens and the good natured
. chaff of the drivers.
This means Spring. This' means the "open season." This means
Touring at its best.
Surely, you are not going to be "left behind" this year. Surely,
you are not going to keep the wife and kiddies indoors
when all the world is hiking far afield.
Ferhaps, you already know it but what you need is a big,
handsome, sturdy Paige "Six-46".
Nothing less will completely satisfy you nothing more is
necessary for any man no "matter how wealthy he may be.
So, don't hesitate don't procrastinate.
Tell the stenographer that you will be "out" for a short
spell and hustle right over to the Paige dealer. Tell hini
jour troubles and let him prescribe.
