" Indications are prevalent among trie managers of the national' and local thow association that the western cities at least wvjl hbjd au toraobile shows this vear. It is rumored also that New York and Chicago will hold their shows, but possibly a little later than the dates heretofore observed. Rumors to the effect that Chicago is much in favor of the show and thaKansas City already jhas de cided to hold the show are cur rent. - Mmager Powell of the Omaha Auto Trade association has been in touch with the National Auto asso ciation, and Ray VV. Sherman, sec retary of the Show Managers' as sociation. Telegraphic communica tions indicated a feeling that the au- "tomobile shows will be held at al most all points of importance.

These young girls have kept to the straight and nar row path for some months and the officers of the society believe they will continue to do so if they are given a real chance. ' ; A" little social club has been form ed and rooms are now being con sidered for a meeting place. The first thing the girls need is a piano, as they are all fond of music and most of tbem play some. The lack of a place to entertain their frienMs and of the amusement needed by all young people, is one of the causes of the troubles which have beset them, and the society which is sponsoring them now believes that the piano will play an important part in their futurewelfare, Anyone' having a piano which they are willing to give to save , these young girls may telephone Dr. Jennie Callfas Walnut 345.
