Move Against Kugel Seems
Unable to Gain Headway
"Wanted: An eligible elector to
run in opposition to City Commis
jional Kugel on a proposed recall
which a coterie of persons living in
the Saratoga school district would
like to start.''
This recall movement appears to be
losing momentum. 'Inquiry made as
to its progress brought the informa
tion that the committee had not yet
succeeded in getting a candidate to
agree to run as required ty the recall
law.
Some of those who are on the inside
predict that this proposed recall will
"die a-Sorning," as somebody ex
pressed it years ago.
It is being rumored 'that Sherman
Clayton, county jailer, will submit his
name as candidate against Mr. Ku
gel, but when asked Tor a statement
on the subject, Mr. Clayton said he
had not been asked o be the recall
candidate. . -.
THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: APRIL 8, 1917,
One of the most interesting ad
vertising campaigns of many a season
is that now being followed out by the
Chandler Motor Car company of
Cleveland, manufacturers of ' the
Chandler Six. Mr. R. R. McNemar,
ocal Chandler distributor, says that
le never had any doubt of the value
of newspaper advertising, but that his
conviction as to the value of such
advertising is greater now than ever
before.
"Chandler advertising this spring,"
said Mr. McNemar, "has been what
the factory calls a fact campaign. Not
that Chandler advertising has not al
ways been based on facts, but that
the advertising this year has empha
sized and reiterated certain simple
fundamental facts about the Chand
ler car which very largely are exclu
sive Chandler facts.
Valuable Features.
"The Chandler offers numerous fea
tures found on such cars as the Pack
ard, Pierce-Arrow, VVinton, White,
Stutz, Mercer and Cadillac. Among
them are a cast aluminum crank case,
which extends from- frame to" frame
at both the front and rear of the mo
tor, giving oerfect rigidity to the en
gine mounting and saving it from
the rack and stress of the road; a
silent chain drive; Bosch high-tension
magneto; light-running, annular ball
bearings in transmission; differential
and rear wheels; full floating rear
axle with silent spiral bevel differen
tial; two-unit starting and lighting
systems and many other features of
proven excellence.
Chandler's Fact-Motor.
"Through four years of conscien
tious effort, backed up by a previous
experience of many years in the build
ing of high-priced sixes, the exclusive
Chandler motor has been developed
and refined to a point approximating
perfection. It is a fact-motor, not a
claim-motor."
The Chandler company in its ad
vertising minces no words when it
says that not to its knowledge has a
professional motor car driver ever
made a record with a Chandler Six,
but that all the thousands of owners
of Chandler Sixes every day are mak
ing the kind of records that count
records of satisfactory service.

by "Cannon Ball" Baker in Australia.
Bedell also broke the 1,000-mile rec-,
ord when he reeled off that distance
in 20:42:30, or twenty-one minutes
better than the previous time. At

AUTO BUYERS NOW

Standard Equipment 'Includes
Many features That Were
Formerly "Extras."
PATHFINDER AN EXAMPLE
It is surprising to those who recall
the motor car of some ten or twelve
years ago, to note the radical changes
that have taken place in what consti
tutes "standard equipment." The pur
chaser of a car, but a few years ago,
found that he had bought the chassis
and-body only. Before he could op
erate his car with any degree of com
fort or safety it was necessary for
him to purchase even such essentials
as lamps, horn, top, etc
However, in these days manufac
turers are vieing with each other in
the marketing of cars that are com
plete as to everv Dossible detail of
equipment, so that, instead of spend
ing several hundred dollars for items
that were once termed "extra equip
ment," the purchaser now finds him-
selt in possession ot every practical
accessory to the requirements of law,
convenience, comfort, safety and ap
pearance. The Pathfinder touring roadster,
from the Indianapolis plant of the
Pathfinder company, is a notable ex
ample of what, in these latter days, is
considered the completely equipped
automobile. Of course there are a
full complement of electric lamps for
front, rear and tonneau, starting and
lighting batteries, speedometer, clock,
gasoline gauge, electric horn, wind
shield and tool equipment. Then,
each Pathfinder is equipped with
Hartford shock absorbers, thermo
stat to - control water temperature,
motometer to show that proper mo
tor temperature is maintained, Delco
starting system, Silvertown cord tires
and tire pump.
Expert Torpedo Man Here

ing duty here, has packed his "war
bag" of service clothes, hammock and
other equipment, and is ready to
leave at the first word. He is an ex
pert naval gunner and torpedo man.
Such navy men are expected to be
the first called from land duty to

Wood Lake Girl Applies '

Miss Ella .Soukup,',, Wood Lake,

TRAINING TOR THE MEN
Military training has been added to
the educational classes of the Good
year Tire & Rubber Co.'s factory
school at Akron, 0., according to
an announcement issued to employes
by P. W. Litchfield, vice president
and factory manager. Instructions is
to be ' given under the supervision
of ex-army officers of long military
experience. ,
The Goodyear factory is in opera
tion twenty-four hours of the day, di
vided into three eight-hour shifts. The
classes in military training have been
arranged that each shift of workers
may have two hours of drill each
week.
The company's policy is outlined in
the following statement by Mr. Litch
field: "The introduction of the eight-hour
day into industry sets free additional
time for a man to use as he may de
sire. He may waste it and spend on
extra amusement the money he has
tamed, or he may use it for his men.
tal and physical development, making
him a more efficient and useful citizen.
Military Drill Added.
"In extending our educaticnal and
training courses for those of the lat
ter class, we have recently added mili
tary drill. We are among those who
believe that only by having a demo
cratic citizenry, equipped and trained
in the use of arms, can we insure
the safety and- honor of our republic
from foreign aggression and the peace
of the future, such as has been our
heritage in the past.
"Conditioni of the past, which hap
pily made military preparedness
unnecessary for us now have changed.
Depending upon mere untrained num
bers to defend our homes against the
present forces of other nations, would
be as foolish as starting to complete
in the manufacture of tires without
buildings.-tnachinery and tools or pre
vious training." -

EASE at the Wheel
. - .. -A , x .
In the journey of life there are many short turns, and unless
you have self-control you're likely to get into trouble. '
And as .it is in life so it is in an automobile. You must have
your controls simple, and close at hand.
Place yourself at the wheel of
a Marmon 34. You will see at
once that to shift your gears you
don't have to shift your position.
You will find ignition and light
ing convenient neighbors and
the emergency brake ready for
instant use.'
This hand-brake enables you
to control your car, comfortably
and expeditiously, without lifting
your foot from the accelerator. It's
an ever-ready, every-day brake,
emergency or no emergency.
The Marmon 34 is as easy to ,
manage as a kodak is to snap. It
starts without a jump and it stops
without a jar. It responds to the
wheel's slightest hint, and, regard
less of speed, holds snug to the
road.
This spells economy in main
, tenance and efficiency in opera
tion. And it gives to the hand at
the wheel that assured sense of
perfect control which makes driv
ing not a strain but a relaxation;
not a task but a pleasure.
