In no small degree has the safety first movement given an impetu u the idea of giving medical, hospit: and surgical treatment to etnol'V but there never has been any :;- that went more directly to the fc:.; of social betterment among the wat earners. Health is at the bottoi:' conscientious workmanship and indnt trial content, so the Goodyear ji:t and Rubber company. Akron, O.. ha found out. The success and happ i.os. of an individual is all predicted on his health and that of his family The family physician appears only whs. a health agency has failed to prevent disease and the Akron tire co.i.-ern has taken itself the responsibility of seeing that the health agency aoes not fail. By providing the best possible sur roundings from a hygienic standpoint for the workmen during their work ing hours, by supplying recraton centers and athletic facilities for all. as well as conducting educational campaigns looking toward an tti: exi gent adherence to the natural laws of health, Goodyear is awake to the im portance of helping their employes keep up with the modern idea o .on serving health so necessary to giving high grade service and to the enjoy ment of life.

A force of nine physicians and 14 graduate nurses are employed this industrial medical and hospital service. Eve-y applicant for employment is examined thoroughly to establish his physical capacities in order that the company may get a line on his ibility and fitness for particular kin: of work.

M. Clement Motors company, "can be realized to some extent from the fact that we delivered seven cars in one day last week to retail customers. "Although we have only been able to secure a few of the new six-cylinder models for local delivery, the light sport roadster and eight-cylinder chummy models promise to be even more popular this season than last. "The attractive appearance and lux uary of these models, coupled with the popular prices and economical up keep, certainly appeal to all classes of trade. "We sold and delivered Scripps ISooth cars to the following on Tues day: V. C. Samis. Fred Pfoten haner, Miss Kate Dorsey, A. E. Royce, B. B. Baldwin, Miss Louise Brackhahn and G. Griffith. On Wed nesday we delivered Scripps-Booth cars to C. M. Dooley and E. A. Doherty, and Liberty touring cars to P. R. Kellogg and t. J. Jumper. In addition to this we delivered one car load of five Scripps-Booth new six cylinder models to Barney-Gibbons Motor company of Kearney." Packer Enthusiastic Over Autocar Delivery Morris & Co. are one of the most enthusiastic Autocar users in Omaha, according to W. M. Clement, presi dent of the W. M. Clement Motors Co. They have operated three Auto car trucks for some time, in fact they were bought and shipped here from Chicago before an Autocar agency was established in Omaha. "One of these Autocars has been in constant service for over four years in Omaha," said W. M. Clement, "and is now operating daily and isgiv ing dependable service. Morris & Co. endorsed the Autocar, owing to a successful experience at various other points and shipped them to Omaha regardless of the fact that no Auto car service station was located is umana. "However, without service or any immediate supply of parts, or me chanics who were acquainted with the Autocar, these three Autocars op erated successfully and Morris & Co. are using Autocars at practically all their branches throughout the United States."
