Rapid Rise in Realty
Values Shown by Sale
A recent sale of the corner, fifty
eight feet front of Twenty-seventh
ind Farnam streets, owned by a
prominent retail business man, who
puts his savings into real estate and
ias made considerable money in the
ast few years, through his real estate
leals, indicate the worth of property
In 'that vicinity. About ten years ago
this property was bought for not
over $7,500, probably less, and has
just been sold for niorethan $30,000.
Miss Grace Tryon, educational in
structor for the National Cash Reg
ister company of Dayton, O., who has
been in the city the last ten days as
the guest of the Burgess-Nash com
pany, ( thinks Omaha is one of the
most progressive retail cities in the
country.
She delivered a talk on salesman
ship to the combined forces of the
Burgess-Nash and M. E. Smith com
panies; as well as members of the
Salesmanship club and civics and eco
nomics classes of Central High
school.
Miss Tryon's ideas of salesmanship
are constructive. She advocates that
no one should criticise or tear down
unless they are able to build up by
showing a better way. She advo
cates five important things neces
sary to become a good salesman or
saleswoman. They are: -
Ki(ow how to develop yourself.;
knowyour goods; know how to ex
press yourself; know how to make
people believe what you say; know
now to make them act on that belief.
It is necessary, she savs. to become
a student in salesmanship, advertis
ing ana window trimming the same
as we study reading, writing and
arithmetic.
"I like Omaha," Miss Tryon said.
"It is a progressive city. The win
dow displays excel the average city
windows, the billboards are attrac
tive and your city in general is well
kept up. The few merchants who
are conducting 'sick1 stores have a
great opportunity to take inventory
and observe methods of the progres
sive Omaha merchants, which will
speu success.
OMAHA PREPARING
FOR MOREBUILDINGS
Scarcity of Homes Is Being
Noted In Many Cities All
Over the Country,
Excavation work Is going ahead on
many sites in Omaha for big buildings
and extensive building operation on
residences as soon as the strike and
lockout situation is cleared up. Ex
cavation has begun on the site of the
new WolfHiller building, Sixteenth
and Harney streets, where the old
Sohlitz hotel was torn down in rec
ord time.
Opinion among contractors snd lab
orers alike, seems to be that work
on building activities generally will
soon be resumed, by reason of a set
tlement one way or the other of the
troubled labor situation, which has
existed here for some months.
The war situation has not served
to check building operation either
here or in other localities, judging
from reports. In many localities, par
ticularly in the eastern manufacuring
centers, it has even seemed to stimu
late building, as the necessity for ac
commodating more working people in
the vicinity of the factories, became
necessary at once.
More Homes Needed.
The eastern cities, where center the
great manufacturing industries, are
meeting with new problems. In
Cleveland the house question has
grown so serious that the Chamber
of Commerce has taken it ud. It. is
estimated that 5,000 homes are need
ed now. Thousands of people are liv
ing in tents with inadequate sanita
tion. One expert sums up the situa
tion in the statement that unless labor
conditions are rapidly bettered the
problem will be up to employers to.
find homes for their workmen.
In Akron the building permits for
April ran nearly 900 and yet there
are not sufficient buildings to accom
modate the population.
City Builds Homes.
It is surnrisinsr to learn that In
London, even in these war times.
housing operations are having to be
carried on and accommodations for
nearly 60,000 people have been erect
ed by the city council in recent
months.
A new town somewhat similar to
GaryInd., has been started at Mc
Donald, O., about midway between
Youngstown and Niles, The Carnegie
Steel company is transforming hun
dreds of acres of farm land into a
modern city to accommodate 5,000
people with 10,000 to 20,000 more in
the next few years; $20,000,000 are
being spent in building mills.
It is worthy to note that building
operations throughout the country
continue witn but little abatement,
the first quarter of this year showing
a loss of a fraction of 1 per cent as
compared to 1916, which year showed
a great gain over 1915.
Charles M. Schwab is planning 1,500
new houses for workmen in South
Bethlehem. Detroit is also experien
cing the same conditions.
Immanuel Baptist Church

A special musicar service will he

Railroad and Stock Men
Hold Weight Conference
Railroad freight traffic men and of
ficials of the Union Stock Yards com
pany met at Union Pacific headquar
ters today in an effort to, work out
a satisfactory plan for settling live
stock weights.
Hoof weights, stock yard scale and
railroad track scale weights were con
sidered and the weights to be des
ignated as ofiicial will be determined
later. The question of feed and wa
ter while animals are in transit also
was thrashel out.
Sam F. Miller, general freight agent
of the Northwestern; Conrad Spens,
assistant .'reight traffic manager ot
the Burlington, and J. G. Love, assist
ant general freight agent of the Mil
waukee, all of Chicago, were among
those who attended the conference.
Before breaking up. those attending
the meeting agreed upon hoof weights
as the basis for rate making and later
a committee will be na; led to formu
late rules and report them to Secr--tary
Stryker of the Umaha Live Stock
exchange for approval.
France No Longer Able to
Equip U. S. Ambulance Corps
France no longer is able to" pro
vide food and clothing for American
serving in the American ambulance
field service," said Lieutenant George
11. Rocdcr, director of section 2 of
the American ambulance held service
in Paris.
It is for this reason that Lieutenant
Rocdcr was called an ay from the La
fayette aviation corps, of which he
was a member, to lecture in Amer
ica for aid ill raising $300,000 to equip
Americans serving in ambulance
work in France.
More than $250,000 has been sub
scribed and Lieutenant Koeder has
four more bookings before leaving lor
Europe, whnre he is due in August
in the aviation corps.
Lieutenant Roedrr has been with
the American ambulance service since
the outbreak of the war and' said
American ambulances have carried
700.000 wounded men and prisoners
of war with the average of 30,000 a
car.
"It is the adaptability and ingenu
ity of our American boys that is go
ing to win the war. Americans are
quicker to learn and fit into any sit
uation than either the English or
French," he said.

Chalmers 7-Passenger Model 35-B Hanging Up Records
Model 35-B is the clifriax of nine years Chal
mers progress and' by all odds the superior
of any 7-passenger car in its price division.
The Model 35-B is new only in refine-
rnents, still retaining by popular endorse-
ment the
same phenomenal motor
" same exclusive lines
same economy it s the
same old record-breaker
MODEL 35-B
Seven-Passenger
Chalmers
$1475 F.O.B. Detroit
THAT Joe Dawson, at Atlantic Beadh, Fla., drove one mile
in 38.10 seconds. No motor, within 25 per cent of
the Chalmers power has ever app roached this
mark. SPEED SUPERIORITY)
THAT climbed Toll House Grade, near Fresno, the first
seven-passenger stock car ever over .on second
gear. PULLING SUPERIORITY,
THAT startled Detroit on a 24-hour official test by going ,
a day and a night on high gear at the remarkably
low speed of 2 9-10 miles per hour.
HIGH GEAR SUPERIORITY,
THAT smashed all records between New York and Chi
' . cago. In a driving rain, with skid chains most of
way, a Chalmers made the 1047 miles in 31 hours.
HIGHWAY SUPERIORITY
THAT triumphed last summer at Pikes Peak, easily de-'
f eating every car in its class.
POWER SUPERIORITY,
THAT amazed Chicago by going .586.8 miles on high
gear in 24 hours. The famous loop district was the
scene of this extraordinary A. A. A. test. v
TRAFFIC SUPERIORITY,
t THAT swept the Giant's Despair mountain climbing con
test at Wilkesbarre, Pa., by capturing every tro- i
phy in its own class and defeating the field in the
free-for-all. CLIMBING SUPERIORITY,
THAT has made good in Omaha, because every owner is
satisfied with the car, the service and with our ef
iorts to accommodate our patrons.
ALL-ROUND SUPERIORITY
With the foregoing remarkable career it is little wonder that Chalmers dealers in our territory have increased 600 in number
in 5 months, and sales in the same period have increased to such an e,xtent that we are among the six largest Chalmers distribu
tors in the United States.
We have given you something to think about. We want you to act on the thought ride in our demonstrating car today. Wheel
base 122 inches, pantesote top, sloping .windshield and soft, high-grade upholstering are a few of the noteworthy features.
