HANSEN PLEASED
WITH CADILLAC
ANNOUNCEMENT
Selling Prices Restored to the
Figures Prevailing Before
Production Rules Were
Made.
J. II. Hansen, general manager of
the Jones-Hansen-Cadillac company.
is exceedingly pleased at the an
nouncement of the Cadillac policy
for the season of 1919. The an
nouncement which appears in the
popers today, accordig to Mr. Han-se-.i,
is a remarkable proof of the
usual Cadillac policy of advising the
public exactly what will be done,
and it shows that the selling price
of Cadillac cars is at once restored
to the figures prevailing just prior
to the production restrictions order
ed, by the government on account of
the war
The jones-Hansen Cadillac com
pany is one of the few dealers in
the United States who have Cadil
lac cars for immediate delivery. The
Jones-Hansen people having ab
solute faith in the stability of Cadil
lac cars, have kept on buying all
the Cadillac cars available, anJ while
there is a great shortage ot Cadil
lacs throughout the country, this is
not the case in Omaha due to the
fact that more Cadillac cars have
been shipped into this territory in
the past year than in any previous
year.
The sale of Cadillac cars has been
constant in accordance with good
judgment on the part of the buyers
.who realized the advisability of se
curing the transportation service of
a good motor car.
Cadillac cars of practically all
models can be delivered immediately
by the Jones-Hansen-Cadillac com
pany of Omaha and Lincoln, as well
as by the A. H. Jones company of
Hastings. These combined compan
ies have dealers in practically all
large towns in Nebraska and west
cn Iowa.

Sooted Plug.
- When a spark plug develops miss
ing as a result of being sooted and
iirt r,ianc nf rpmnval ic at band as
' h may happen sometimes on the road,
ft'Jt-: the plug can be made to fire regu-
f larly again by disconnecting the
- ieaa ana introducing an auxiliary
Wgap. of one-eighth or one-quarter
between it and the plug terminal.
: Chipped Gear Teeth.
In cases where a number of the
teeth of a gear have chipped off at
the outer edges they should be
chamfered off by grinding. If in
grinding the gear is permitted to
heat enough to soften the metal
little further chipping will be pre
vented and the gear can be used un
til a new one can be installed.
Careful of the Magnets.
When the magnets are to be re
moved from the magneto for any
purpose, an iron keeper must be
placed across the two ends or poles,
, until the magnets are again in place
on the pole pieces of the magneto
with the armature in place, these
then, acting as keeper. If this cau
tion is not observed the magnets
will quickly become demagnetized,
Connecting Bod Knock.
The knock ordinarily produced by
I a loose connecting rod is rather in
' the nature of a pound, and is most
noticeable at slow speed with closed
throttle. If the play is excessive
.however, the knock will be heard at
all speeds and loads. This is prob
ably the commonest knock of all,
is easy to identify, and should be
remedied without any delay or
worse trouble will follow.
Strain the Water.
Sediment in the cooling water
certainly adds nothing to the effi
ciencv of the cooling system, no
matter what type it may be, but in
the case of the pump system it is
particularly injurious. Sediment in
the water wears the impeller and
cuts the bearings and shaft. For
this reason water should always be
carefully strained as it is being
ooured into the radiator.
Tappet Clearance.
A backfire or "pop" back through
the carbureter may indicate insuffi
cient intake valve tappet clearance.
If the intake valve does not close,
the burning charge escapes through
the valVe and ignites an incoming
charge in the manifold. The loss
of compression also causes loss of
power and the gas blown back de
ranges the carbureting system for
he time being.
Flooding Carbureter.
The principal causes of flooding of
the carbureter nay be listed as fal
lows : Needle valve being held open
or leaking, due, perhaps, to dirt on
the valve seat, preventing its clos
ing properly. Imperfect or worn
needle valve or seat. Sticking
mechanism. A float too heavy or
leaking, causing it to sink too deep,
holding the needle valve open. Lev
el too high. Loose nozzle or needle.
Emergency Pipe Splice.
When the fuel line suffers a frac
ture on the road there are a number
of emergency repairs that may be
made. If rubber tubing is available
a section of this will make an ad
mirable splice. A cork with a hole
through it may be used and in the
absence of one a raw potato makes
a very satisfactory temporary splice.
.Cloth smeared with soap or shellac
and then reinforced with splints is
jrerjr handy, . ,

LESTER ROBINSON
Corp. Leo Robinson, son of Mr
and Mrs. Dexter Robinson, 4755
South Eighteenth street, who came
home this week from Camp Dodge
for a short visit with his parents, is
only 18 years of age, and has seen
more than a year's service in Hon
olulu. His last visit with his par
ents was by telephone, August 9,
when he passed through Omaha on
his way from Fort Shafter, Hpno
lulu to Camp Dodge, where he has
been since.
Corporal Robinson enlisted May
16, 1917, when he was 16 years of
age and was on his way to Fort Lo
gan, Colorado, just two hours after !
he enlisted. He was at Fort Logan,'
only 10 days when he was sent to
Fort Shafter, Honolulu, Hawaii.
He is now with the headquarters
company, Second Infantry, Nine-
LEO ROBINSON
teenth division, but expectes to go
to Siberia December 1, to remain
for two years.
Mr. and Mrs. Robinson have an
other son, Lester, in the service who
is now 23 years old and who en
listed three days after war was
declared between the United States
and Germany. He is supply ser
geant, with the Twentieth aero
squadron. The last letter Mrs.
Robinson received from him was
written July 18, when he told his
mother he was on the war front.
He wrote a friend since then that he
had the flu, but did not want to tell
his mother. He has not been home
for a visit since he enlisted.
AUTO OWNERS
ILL 0R6ANIZE
FOR PROTECTION
Meeting Called Here Novem
ber 26 to Perfect Plans to
Prevent Wholesale Car
Stealing.
A convention has been called un
der the auspices of the Omaha Au
tomobile club to meet at Omaha on
Tuesday, November 26 for the form
ation of an Organization tentatively
named The Nebraska Automobile
and Good Roads association.
Objects of the organization will
be to formate a plan of co-operation
that will become so effective as to
prevent the stealing of automobiles.
To promote the improvement of
highways.
To encourage proper highway
maintenence.
To procure the proper marking of
highways.
To urge just and rational highway
legislation.
To further all good road projects.
To protect legitimate interests of
its members.
To promote acquaintance, associ
ation, consultation among the own
ers of automobiles.
To maintain a thoroughly equip
ped and efficient touring informa
tion bureau for the service of mem
bers and motor tourists.
Members of commercial and good
roads clubs are requested to send
two delegates to this meeting.
The automobile has now become
such an important factor in every
day life and business that it is con
sidered imperative for owners to
organize at once for mutual pro
tection and benefit.
The organization will endeavor
to stop the wholesale stealing of
automobiles.
Importance of Noises.
The importance of being able to
diagnose motor ills from the sounds
ensuing is well illustrated by the
differential. A sort of weaving in
the differential indicates that the
master bevel gear is out of align
ment. On the other hand, a slight
catch occuring several times in each
revolution of the driving wheels in
dicates a chipped tooth.
Walter Hoye Writes
of Flying Experiences
at Ellington Field, Tex.
W. C. Frasier, 637 Omaha Nation
al bank building, has received a let
ter from Walter Hoye, who, before
he entered the service, was a promi
nent Omaha attorney with offices in
the Woodmei. of the World Luild
ing. Mr. Hoye is stationed at Elling
ton Field, Texas. In describing the
training for the air service he writes:
"Cloud flying is one 'een little
stunt. An instructor goes up with
a pilot; after attaining a certain al
titude, the pilot is blindfolded and
told to steer a straight course for a
certain time, then turn to 90 de
grees, go straight ahead some more,
then turn back and bisect his orig
inal course. Imagine yourself turn
ed loose in the ozone with your
lamps shaded. In the first place,
you get excited, scared and every
thing. They drill a lot of that ap
parently impossible stuff into you in
an attempt to develop your "feel of
the ship" "instinctive balance and
direction," etc. Of course, I haven't
reached that stage yet.
"And the bombs! Oh, boy! They
are some babies. H. E. 's big
ones; demolition, regular artillery
shells; incendiary, that will set any
thing, even the Rhine, I guess, on
fire; and fragmentation which can
mow infantry within a radius of 400
feet from point of impact. I do be
lieve this bombing is the King Dodo
of the lot. We are training exclu
sively for bombing, but with the
knowledge acquired in this we can
do all aerial work including contract
patrol, photography and liaison. The
combat end of course, is our middle
name not, however, the one-seater
variety. The air forces are getting
away from the individual star prop
osition more and more and it s now
resolving itself into z unit effort
rather than individual.
' Form Owners' Repair Club.
St. Louis, Mo., has a new service
plan for owners who must have cars
adjusted or repaired on evenings or
Sundays. The Miller Motor Mart
has arranged for owners with whom
they have had business to organize
an Owners Repair club. For the
dues they pay, members have the
use of any tools or equipment of
the service station this dealer main
tains, doing the work themselves.
Supplies are extra.
This co-ordinates perfectly with
the government purpose to release
the necessarily heavy burden of
work that has lately characterized
the short handed service station.

NEW POST-WAR
MODELS APPEAR
IN SALES ROOMS
H. Pelton Receives Four New
Marmon Models; New
Color Scheme a
Feature.
Post-war models are already be
ginning to appear on the motor car
market here. The first to appear
are four Marmon models shown by
H. Pelton.
These are of the 1919 series and
embody a few departures from the
present Marmon line.
Four of these models will appear
on the salesroom floor of H. Pel-
toi Monday morning. This quartet
embraces a Sedan, a 5-passenger
touring car, a seven-passenger tour
ing car and a four-passenger road
ster. The color scheme is exquisite
and is entirely new.
Although the Marmon factory is
among the first to introduce 1919
models, it has recently been award
ed the flag of honor by the govern
ment for producing the greatest
number of Liberty motors for aero
plane service during the past month.
Ford Tractor Locomotive.
Henry Ford has another new
achievement in the Ford tractor lo
comotive. While still in the experi
mental stage, he believes it has vast
possibilities. It is a regular tractor,
with flanged wheels connected with
a driving rod. It develops enough
power to haul a dozen sand cars
such as those used in mining and
excavation work. So far, it is mere
ly one of Ford's playthings, but the
general opinion in Detroit is that
the cessation of the present war will
see its production on a large scale.

In Flanders Fields
By LT.-COL. JOHN McCRAE,
Canadian Expeditionary Forces.
In Flanders Field th popplei grow
Hetween the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and In the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, ".v.
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived; felt dawn, sw sunset plow:
Loved and were loved, and now we die
In Flanders Fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe!
To you, from falling hands, we throw
The torch. He yours to lift it high!
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though popples blow
In Flanders Fields.
of Mlnden, Neb., on November 11, 1918.
the date on which America learned of the
signing of the peace artilatlc by Ger
many.
I.t. Col. John McCrae of the Canadian
expeditionary forces was a distinguished
physician of Montreal, Canada. He died
at Boulogne, France, January 18, 191S,
and at his own request was buried In
Flanders with the other fallen soldiers
of the allies. His poem is said to be the
greatest poem of the war. Many answers
to this poem have been written during
the progress of the war.
The following stanzas In answer were
composed by F. I.. Carrire, an attorney
In Flanders Fields we've found your place.
Close by the cross. In deaths dark space:
We sit here, comrade, and looking high
To see the lark you said did fly
And sing above the roar: but silence deep
lteigns all about, where'er you sleep
In Flanders Fields.
Are you the dead? No, comrade, no!
The dead lie only with the foe;
You sleep, 'tis true, but yet you live;
You gave your life yet did not give
Your deeds to be forgotten thus.
When bone and sinew turn to dust
In Flanders Fields.
Titke up your quarrel! Tls that you ask?
Ah. yes, my comrade, that gladsome task
We've entted now, by venging deep
The wrongs of you and the land where
leep
You and your comrades, row on row;
Now o'er your breast let popplea blow .

No Decline in Auto
Prices Need Be Feared
in the Near FuturO
"There need be no fear on thf
part of automobile dealers and buy
ers regarding a decline in the price
of automobiles," asserts Carl
Changstrom of the Standard MotOA
Car Co.
The conditions will adjust them
selves in much the same manner at
they adjusted themselves to meet
war conditions.
There is no indication of an Im
mediate or even a near future drop
in prices. Materials have been con
tracted for and paid for at war
prices and until that material il
used up and the labor situation
clears up there will probably be no
change in prices.

Cadillac Policy for 19184919
The Cadillac Motor Car Company announces herewith its policy
for 1918-1919.
Prices will be restored at once to the figures which prevailed
before Cadillac production was restricted by Governmental
order.
Decreased output resulting from Governmental curtailment
necessitated an increase of $300 on all Cadillac models.
This $300 increase is now removed on the entire Cadillac line
the readjustment prices to be in effect as of 12 o'clock Mid
night, Saturday, November 16th.
It must be remembered that the Cadillac Motor Car Company
has been on an exclusive war basis, and deliveries will nat
urally be limited, until the factory is restored to a peace
footing. Th? respect in which the Cadillac is held, the world over, has
been greatly emphas zad by its splendid performance in war
service, arid by the further fact thai the United States
Army has adopted the Cadillac as its standard seven-passenger
car.
Cadillac capacity has always been swiftly absorbed, but, in view
of the fact cited above, prospective buyers will do well to
be forewarned against a demand without a precedent.
We assume that Peace will shortly follow the signed armistice.
In that event, the entire capacity of our factory will be de
voted to the production of Cadillac cars.
In spite of that fact, we do not believe it will be possible to
build, during 1919, all the Cadillac cars the world will want.
