EVERYBODY WANTS
TOHAVMLLEN CAR
Carl Changstrcm Asserts He
Never Went Through a Sea
son Where Demand Set
in So Early.
"They all insist on having Allen
cars," says Carl Changstrom, presi
dent of the Standard Motor Car com
pany. "I left a new Allen car stand
ing in front of the garage while I was
away the other night and on my re
turn discovered that thieves had at
tempted to steal it. They coasted the
car from Thirty-sixth street to Thirty
first street, where it was abandoned.
"The new model lock on the Allen
this year baffled them and they were
unable to start the motor. I want
everyone to drive an Allen car, but
prefer a deposit before the car is
driven away."
Want to See Trucks.
In speaking of the show Mr. Chang
strom said: "The most wonderful
thing about the show is the spirit ex
hibited by the visitors. Everyone
seems interested in the exhibits and
the crowds that are attending are
marvelous.
"Great interest is being shown in
the truck line and we have closed sev
eral large contracts for Defiance
trucks. The farmers and others
obliged to do hauling are commencing
to realize the saving by motor trans
portation and are taking advantage of
the big show to pick out the
trucks best adapted to their use."
The Allen and Westcott cars of the
Standard Motor company are tastily
displayed on the stage of the Audi
torium and the classy colors in which
these cars are being painted this year
is attracting attention to the line.
Air Cushions Liked.
Allen cars in tan and green are two
of the most popular showings in the
medium priced car. The air cushion
springs of the Allen, the same as are
being used on many of the higher
priced cars, brought forth favorable
comment from visitors.
-The great attention to details in
the construction of the Westcott cars
was noticeable by all. The chummy
roadster and sedan on display were
constantly being admired. In the
sedan as part of the regular equip
ment are electric cigar lighters, clock
and many little features that add to
the pleasures and conveniences of mo
tor trips.

BOWIE RETURNS TO SALES
FORCE OP H. PELTON
i,Sb fa
Douglas Bowie, one of the oldest
salesmen on auto row, has returned
to the II. Pelton organization and is
busily engaged at the auto show
demonstrating the Franklin and Mar
nion models.
He is enthusiastic and optimistic
over the outlook for sales in the
Omaha territory this year. "It is
evident from the attention being at
tracted by the Franklin and Marmon
models on display that we are going
to have a big year," said Mr. Bowie.
The Franklin and Marmon exhibit
is one of the most attractive features
at the show. With an imposing place
in the center of the Auditorium stage
Mr. Pelton has taken advantage of
his opportunity and beautifully deco
rated his exhibit.
The massive Marmon and Franklin
cars, in themselves enough to attract
more than passing attention, are sur
rounded by cut flowers and decorated
with appropriate cords and ribbons.
In the selections of cars and designs
for show purposes the utmost care
was shown.
IVIotor Car is America's
Greatest Gift to Allies
"A famous writer, who has six
times visited the shell-ripped fields of
Europe, has raid that of all the sup
plies, commodities and manufactured
articles shipped to the allies, the au
tomobile is the one and only Ameri
can product that has proven 100 per
cent equal to the gruelling usage of
war," says T. C. Stubbs, manager of
the Western Motor Car company.
"And so I say, the man that would
now throw the motor industry over
board is the same fanatic that would
dump life-preservers into the sea to
lighten the load of a ship in a storm.
And there is- no difference between
throwing the industry overboard or
puncturing it with the knife of ill-advised
legislation.
"The great automobile business is
the life preserver of 5,000,000 Ameri
can stomach. It is the thing that
must keep 5,000,000 heads above water
while the war-storm continues in its
fury.
"One-fifth of the population of the
United States have their very exist
ence pinned to this vast business of
motor cars. And 5,000,000 people is
nearly twice as many as live in the
state of California."

NEW HOLMES CAR
ATTRACTS CROWDS
Air Cooled Motor Admired by
Motorists (Visiting Exhibit in
the Woodmen of the
World Building;.
A crowd that goes in curious and
comes out converted aud enthusiastic
is passing daily through the show
rooms, where the new Holmes car is
being shown to the Omaha public in
the Woodmen of the World building,
Fourteenth and Farnam streets.
At nearly every hour of the day and
evening a keen-eyed, interested group,
many men deep, surrounds each of the
half dozen models, complete in every
detail, which. Arthur Holmes, presi
dent and designer of the Holmes Au
tomobile company, has brought on
from his big factory at Canton, O.
Naturally the long swallow flight
curves of the Holmes car first attract
attention.- "It suggests movement to
me even while it is still," one visitor
phrased the impression made by the
finely proportioned and balanced body.
Even the mudguard is shaped in two
curves instead of one tf accentuate for
eye and imagination the forward rush
of the machine.
The expert motorists, of whom
there are many among the Holmes
car visitors, note with satisfaction the
always dependable air-cooling system.
While they discuss the advantage of
the unit power plant and other engi
neering improvements, women are ex
pressing admiration for the comfort
and the smart yet conservative ap
pointments of the Holmes car.
As one man put it;-"This Holmes
car is the only one I've ever seen
which suits me and suits my wife,
too."
Both Omaha people and out-of-town
visitors have proved by their warm
reception of the Holmes car that there
wa3 a widespread and definite desire
for a new American automobile built
for beauty and for service.
Goodyear Rubber Company
Creates New Cushion Tire
A new cushion tire has just been
announced by the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber company, which in many
classes of service renders the most
economical service of any tire that
has yet been developed.
This tire has been in preparation
for more than two years and has sur
vived the most rigid experimental
tests demanded of it. In appearance it
resembles the regular solid rubber
tire, but in construction it is quite
ditterent. I he tread is of practical
wearing thickness equal to that of
similar sized solid tires. In cross sec
tion, it somewhat resembles an in
verted Y, with a fabric reinforced
double base fitting in a clincher-
flanged rim. A metal ring running
through the center holds the double
bases of the tire in a veritable vice,
preventing tliem from buckling and
eliminating all likelihood of the tire's
twisting or slipping from the rim.
It is exceptionally resilent and soft
enough that in contact with the road
service it spreads out over a much
larger area than a solid rubber tire
of the same size. In actual service
some remarkable mileages have been
secured, ranging from 25,000 to 45,
000 miles on one and two-ton trucks
to which the new cushion tire seems
to be peculiarly adapted..

"Get Out and Get Under" Has
No Meaning for Grant Owner
While there may have been a point
to the song, "Get Out and Get Un
der," that was so popular a few years
ago, the n.otor car of today lias- been
so greatly improved in accessibility
that it is hard to believe that there
ever could have been automobiles of
the old-fashioned type. - j
"It wasn't a question merely of sav
ing the car owner a lot of work and
trouble, though we wanted to do all
we could in that direction," says
George S. Salzman, head of the engi
neering department of the Grant Mo
tor Car corporation, "but equally a
matter of insuring that Grant sixes
would be properly taken care qf, that
led us to pay a great deal of atten
tion to the matter of accessibility.
"We believe the Grant Six is as
near to being absolutely automatic as
a motor car can be. It has been our
aim to build a car requiring a mini
mum of attention. But we shall prob
ably never get to a point where a
motor car will work as well or last
as long when the owner forgets- to
screw up the grease cups or change
his dirty oil as it will when he is
thoughtfti1 enough to give his car the
very slight attention that is all it asks
for."
Survey to Be Made of War
Work Done by Gate City
A survey of the war work done bv
Omaha and Douglas county is to be
made at once at the direction of the
State Council for Defense. The work
is to be done through W. D. McHugh,
chairman of the Douglas County
Council for Defense. This will in
volve a complete table of the activi
ties, such as the Liberty loan cam
paign, the Red Cross work, the war
stamp campaign and all activities in
which the people have given their
services to me cause.
Light Showers and Snow
Flurries Throughout State
While there is no return of winter
weather, the brand that is reported to
the railroads from out in Nebraska
and Wyoming is not sonnelike.
Reports indicate temperatures of
24 to 40 above zero throughout Ne-
DrasKa, wnn ugnt snowers and snow
flurries.
It was considerably warmer Tues
day and some of the streams showed
signs of breaking up. Out in the
state Tuesday night the weather
turned colder and checked the thaw
ing.
Lone Highwayman Robs
Man of Money and Watch
Stanley Pospichal, 1461 South Fif

teenth and Harney streets and robbed
of $3.50 and his watch.
Power Transmitter New
Evolution in Auto World
The Auto Power company, in the
First National bank building, reports
remarkable sales for "The Wizard"
automobile power transmitter. It is
a devise for transmitting direct power
from the crankshaft of any automo
bile to other machinery.
The transmitter is considered ideal
for use in any parage, machine shop
or on the farm. It connects to the
car without boring single hole in the
car or making other changes except
removing the crank. It can .be at
tached or detached in a very few min
utes. The attachment is portable and said
to be ideal for use in furnishing power
for corn shelters, buzz saws, feed
grinders, electric light plants, concrete
mixers, pumping water and around the
farm house for churning, wood saws,
washing machines and cream separators.
War Makes for Efficiency
In American Industries
"That the war is making for ef
ficiency in American industry is no
where better evidenced than in the
effect it has had on the traffic depart
ments of the various automobile con
cerns," says G. H. llouliston, man
ager of the Hupmobile company of
Nebraska. "A few years ago the
average efficient traffic manager
would have told you that the possi
bilities for packing automobiles in
various types of freight equipment
were exhausted; that nothing new
could be devised or discovered until
freight cars were made a different size
or a different shape. Under the stress
of present traffic conditions, in the
Hupmobile factory alone, some half
dozen new ways of packing cars for
shipment have been devised - in the
last six months. Other factories have
been equally enterprising. The re
sult is that the general standards of
efficiency in the shipping departments
have been perceptibly raised ' and
raised for all time."

Time-Tested Engines
Beautiful New Bodies
FOR close upon a quarter
century each Haynes engine
ft has been Haynes built.
"Haynes cars have good engines"
is the resultant oft-heard tradi
tion. No model has proved aught
but a success.
More than three years ago, from
out this long experience, a light,
speedy, rugged six-cylinder
Haynes engine was perfected.
Such fleetness in the get-away,
such flexibility in high gear, such
surplus pulling power did it de
velop on so little gasoline, that it
was heralded "America's Great
est Light Six Engine."
Today, virtually identical in its
construction it retains that title.
Tens of newer sjxes have sought
to rival it. None has paralleled
its record for owner usage.
More than 20,000 are m use..
Their speedometers register a
Quarter billion miles.
That the latest Haynes Light
Six engine is the counterpart of
these fore-runners testifies elo
quently to the maturity long since
attained.
Thus the heart of each new,
beautifully modernized big
Haynes "Light Six" of today is
this same sound mature, owner
tested motor. Long continued
satisfaction can be your sole heri
tage in choosing a Haynes.
"America's Greatest Light
Twelve Engine," likewise a
Haynes, is upholding the cher
ished Haynes traditions amid
multi-cylinder motor cars.
