mained at this stage, while at ! trie

danger takes place.

ments for aiding the boys" through

to Notify New York
Bureau of All Openings
Throughout State.
Nebraska soldiers are walking the
streets of New York, looking lor
work, according to R. M. McDonald
of the New York War Camp Com
munity Service employment bureau.
The information was contained in
a letter to the Omaha Chamber of
Commerce soldiers' employmentbu-reau.
"These men are native Nebraskans
anxious to' get back to their home
state and settle down," he wrote.
The state of Nebraska has located
in the Hall of States, a desk and scg.
retary to look after welfare of re
turned Nebraska soldiers, discharged
from military service, to meet this
situation, according ro Mr. MacDon
"Many soldiers demobilized in the
eastern states come to New 'York,
when they could be used in their
home state as a permanent pro
ducer." '
Wants Notification of Openings.
McDonald requested the local bu
reau to write or wire any openings
here for these men.
Mrs. Mabel Walker, in charge of
the local bureau which placed over
1,200 returned soldiers in employ
ment since December, said this con
dition of Nebraska men remaining
unemployed in New York is not at
all necessary. ,
Plenty of Work Here - -"We
have plenty of work for
them here. If the m&n are walking
the streets of New York, It is be
cause they want to see the sights.
All men demobilized from service
are given transporation or money
equal to the sum necessary to trans
port them, from the camp to the
point where they enlisted. It's be
cause the boys spend this money to
see the sights instead of getting a
ticket for home, that they are placed
in such a position.
Mrs. Walker will forward available
Openings to the New York office.

his wife came to see him. He al

Hudson Super-Six Still Reigns
No Car Disturbs Its Supremacy
Now it is known this year, as last year and the two years before,
Hudson Super-Six continues to be the first car in Motordom.
. The Automobile Shows exhibit no new types to challenge Hudson
leadership in the field above $1,500. Nothing is to be seen at any
show in that class but types which the Super-Six has everywhere out 1
rivaled. 1 . ;
It is the Permanent Type
' That was pronounced for the Hudson when the Super-Six was
first announced, three years ago. It proved its right to that distinction
in countless tests made on the speedway, in hill climbs and in trans
continental touring. Its official records remain unequaled, though
assailed by many rivals.
The Hudson is known best because of its mechanical leadership,
but in addition men in the trade acknowledge it as the. leader in body
designing. That is no more clearly shown than at this year's Auto
Shows.
Last year's Hudsons reveal how they have influenced many cars '
seen at this year's shows. And the new Hudsons with their square
lines and other advanced appointments are regarded as a forecast of
what to expect in the new cars next fall.
60,000 Delivered and the Supply is Still Short
Except for the few open models that some dealers may have, there
are no opert car Hudsons to be had just now. Factory production is
confined to closed types. Every spring has witnessed the disappoint
ment of thousands who could not get Hudsons. Only those who speak
now will be sure of delivery when they want it
You can see today, in our showroom, the cars which attracted
most attention at all the Auto Shows.

rS being settled that way a3 over the country. Folks
who thought a great big car was the only kind they
wanted to ride in, are today buying the GRANT Six
and they like it.
They are buying the Grant Sdc because it answers the
demand for both beauty and economy. It has power; it has
style; it has lightness. It weighs only 2500 pounds. It has
strength, and it stands up in service. Forty thousand users
know these are the facts. ' "
The GRANT Sdc overhead-valve motor, 6tnooth, powerful,
efficient, appeals to your common sense. It is well known
that the overhead-valve type of motor is cleaner and develops
more power.
The Grant full-floating rear axle with equalized brakes, is
one of the best and most satisfactory axles ever put under a
motorcar. '
And the underslung cantilever springs make the Grant
Sk the easiest riding light-weight car in the world. Don't
take this statement on faith. Come, see for yourself.
Sound, common sense won't let you overlook the low
operating cost of the GRANT Sue Owners, the country
over, average 20 miles to the gallon of gasoline; 900 miles to
the gallon of oil and 7000 miles and more to the set of stan
dard tires. These are facts and everyone knows they are
facts.
Big as Grant faculties are, it is more than likely that there
won't be enough GRANT SIXES produced to meet the urgent
demand. You will be wise to order your GRANT Six now.
