AUTO SHOW BAN
LIFTED IS NEWS
RECEIVED HER
C. G. Powell Announces That
Meeting Will Be Held Next
Monday to Discuss
Situation.
N'cws to the effect that the ban
placed upon the holding of automo
bile show by the National Automo
lile Chamber of Commerce War In
dustries board has been lifted, was
received Saturday morning by C. G.
To we 11.
The telegram further states that
the National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce will hold a meeting
Monday for the purpose of discuss
ing the show situation.
Meeting is Called.
Manager Poweil has cnlled a meet
ing of the directors of the Omaha
Auto Trade association to be held
Monday. It is the opinion of
Powell that the directors will decide.
in favor of the show.
A meeting of the show manaRers
will be held at Cleveland, O.. No
vember 25 and 26. It is the plan
now to send two delegates from
Omaha.
Show is Favored.
The general opinion among the
Omaha automobile dealers seems to
favor the lidding of an Omaha
show. There is little doubt regard
ing the holding of shows at Kansas
City. Des Moines and the Twin
Cities and Omaha would simply lose
prestige in favor of these points
should it be decided not to hold the
annual automobile show.
Piston Pin Plcy.
It is sometimes a little difficult
' -i determine whether there has
hern wear in the piston pin bearing.
With the piston in place and the
lower crankcase half down or a side
plate off remove a valve cap or
spark plug and turn the engine over
so that the piston is at top dead cen
ter, in such a position that a screw
driver may be pressed down on top
of the piston, while with a bar the
piston may be pushed upward from
the under side. So by alternately
forcing up and down any play ex
isting may be detected.

Omaha Auto Club
CLUB TO ORGANIZE STATE
GOOD ROADS ASSOCIATION.
The Omaha Automobile club's
special committee, P. A. Wells
chairman, will this week send out
calls for an automobile and good
roads association convention to be
held November 26th, Tuesday, un
der the auspices of the Auto club.
Invitations to send delegates, ac
companied by good roads literature,
will be sent over 500 commercial
and good roads clubs in the state.
Nebraska is as well able to af
ford hard roads as is Kansas. Sta
tistics from communities which have
hard roads prove that permanent
roads save from $50 to $75 annually
to every motorist through de
creased upkeep, less gas, oil and
wear on tires, besides lessened de
preciation on car. What is true of
saving on the auto is exactly so
with a farmer's wagon, implements
and horses. Hard roads save from
5 to 10 cents per ton per mile on
haulage. It is time Nebraska is
pulling itself out of the mud!
Twenty year bonds is the equit
able way to finance a road. Dis
tribute the cojt of the road over 20
years, and the next generation pays
its share, with easy payments on all.
The state that still thinks of drag
ging and maintaining dirt roads,
after this war, is going to be an or
phan among its sister states who are
going to "PAVE AND SAVE1"
Kansas to Pave Roads.
Nebraskans, wake up! Kansas,
our sister state on the south, is five
years ahead of us in the road game.
While we are content with dragging
and grading our roads, year after
year, and literally wasting our
money, Kansas is financing 2,000
miles for concrete, brick, macadam
or other hard surfacing. The new
Kansas road law provides for 50 per
cent of cost to county, 25 per cent
to township or townships through
which the road passes, and 25 per
cent to the land owers in the benefit
district.
Most of the mileage is being
signed up under the benefit district
plan. It is costing .n the average
about 14 cents an acre per year to
lay an 18-foot $18,000 a mile con
crete road in Kansas. The sur
prisingly low cost to the farmers.
per acre, has resulted in Kansas be
ing flooded with petitions for bene
fit districts.
The Santa Fe Trail through Kan
sas is nearly all signed up for hard
roads. Up to a year ago the Kan
sas farmer was indifferent to hard
roads, but with the new road law
has come a hearty response for per
manent highways. One county.
Reno, is figuring on 112 miles of
hard roads. Nebraska, outside of
corporate limits, has probably 75
miles of hard roads 1
Shipping Cars.
Motorists .who contemplate ship
ping their cars to California for the
winter can save money by shipping
with others. The Auto club will be
glad to arrange shipping your car,
and is now taking shipping dates
from members and non-members.
Air Mail Service to Be
Extended in Near Future
The expansion of the recently
inaugurated air mail service between
Washington and New York is a
matter of short time.
The scope of the development is
not yet defined but it is said in
Washington that the Postoffice de
partment, under whose control this
service will be directed, already
plans the opening within a few
weeks of a simlar route betwen
Chicago and the east The service
is to be on eight-hour schedule be
tween New York and Chicago.
Service charges under the new
system will be 3c an ounce with
the usual 10c extra as is the case
with ordinary special delivery mail.
Motor Life.
Scored Piston.
In cases where the piston and cyl
inder are slightly scored it may be
pjssible to make an emergency re
pair for temporary purposes. The
first thing to do is to take out the
piston and find out what has caused
the trouble and remove the cause if
it is still present. The roughest edges
should then be smoothed off with
whatever means are at hand. Next
thoroughly clean piston and cylin
der, replace the parts and supply ad
ditional oil to help fill in the
scratches."
Removing Valve Stem Guides.
In removing valve stem guides,
which are driven from the fop, be
sure and use either a block of hard
wood or a similar piece of soft met
al. If a tempered metal instrument
is used in this operation the guide
will probably be hopelessly injured.

Here is Proof That Some Omaha Kiddie
Is Depending Upon YOU for His Shoes
The Bee shoe fund was beeun
to prevent the need of more of these
little white coffins and will be car
ried on until there is no more need
of it. Many a poor man and women
has contributed to help those poor
er. Only the ooor fully realize the

Miss Frances Gross escorts a group of kiddies to the shoe store.
Since The Bee shoe fund was
started 42 little children have been
fitted out with footwear and thus
enabled to attend school.
'With the good wagees that are
now paid," said a man to one of The
Bee staff, "why it is necessary to
do so much charitable work? I
should think people could look after
their own children in these props
perous times."
A glance at the poor men and
women who Tome to seek aid and a
perusal of their pitiful stories, as
recorded by the investigating com
mittee, would explain this seeming
mystery to those who do not un
derstand. Mother Gets $8 Week.
One little mother who works,
earning $8 a week,' and supports two
sweet little daughters, really needs
the help. Perhaps she is not capa
ble of earning more than $8 a week,
but she is trying hard and could
not take a week's salary to supply
shoes for the children.
In many cases the wage earner of
the family has been ill with influ
enza. One woman said she had
never asked anyone for help before
and did not believe she would ever
have to again, but her husband is
recovering from a bad attack of
pneumonia and unable to work.
Her time is occupied in caring for
him and her sick boy. The Visiting
Nurses have helped, but now she
needs clothes to send the boys to
school.
One father earns $20 a week and
has six children, only two of whom
are of school age. Another father
of seven littljj ones can only make
$16 a week and is unable to clothe
the one small child of school age,
Father in Hospital.

Tale after tale of suffering and
American Industry
Prepared for Peace,
Says Paige President
"American industry will turn from
war to the responsibilities of peace
with the same confidence and thor
oughness with which it played its
part in the great struggle that has
just been triumphantly concluded,"
says President Harry M. Jewett
of the Paige.
"It was the great privilege of the
Paige to stand shoulder to shoulder
with scores of other great American
companies and fight beside lathe and
anil press. Service with the colors
brings its own peculiar recompense,
cut in addition to this supreme sat
isfaction, we have gained invaluable
experience in meeting and solving
the unprecedented problems the war
forced upon all the greater indus
trial concerns.
"Our engineers crowded into the
war period years of priceless exper-
i t "c iwiucu new metn
ods of manufacture, new standards
of precision, new tests of quality.
We have built rrew factories, added
vastly to our equipment and expand-
-...uuues ircmenaousiy. We
were given by the war and war work
new visions of the need of motor
cars and motor trucks. And now
that hostilities have ceased and the
markets of the world are to be re
opened to us, we are prepared."
