OMAHA PEOPLE PROMISED RARE LITERARY TREAT t ' Dr. Crothers, Cambridge, - to Lecture "Dame School of Experience " at Uni tarian Church. Army Orders. Washington, D. C March 22. (Special Telegram.) Second Lt. Charles L. Falvzy, adjutant generals department, will proceed from Camp Dodge to Camp Bragg, Fayettevllle, N. C. , Those who are familiar with the dissertation on the origin of roast pig, and have a liking for such high grade humor, are offered a treat to morrow night at the Unitarian church,. for Dr. Crothers has corrie to town. Dr. Samuel McChord Crothers, Cambridge, Mass., whose vocation is the ministry; his avoca tion recreation, an occasional essay magazine article, nook or lecture. Miss Kate McHugh, former prin cipal of the Omaha High school, in structor in English in the University of Omaha, considers that Dr, Crothers stands alone in this coun try as the Charles Lamb of Ameri ca. On the occasion of his last visit to Omaha, Miss McHugh advised the students in her class in English essays at the University of Omaha to attend Dr. Crothers lecture, They neglected to do so. Soon after ward she announced that she was going to read an essay without nam ing the author, the listeners to name him judging by the style. She read to ' them "The Anglo-Amerdan bchoOl of Polite Unlearning, r Interested and delighted, the class named Addison or Lamb as the es sayist. 'No." said Miss McHugh. "this was the man I advised you to go and hear, Dr. Lrothers. ' ' After that, whenever Miss Mc Hugh offered her class choice cf es sayists for reading aloujd, their choice was always Dr. Crothers. Like Oliver Wendell Holmes. To others. Dr. Crothers has qual ities like those of Oliver Wendell Holmes in "The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table." He has also some of Mark Twain's drollery, without the habit of exaggerating a wit that is subtler if not as side-splitting. There fls something dry, in the words essay and lecture, but this is not true in the case of Dr. Crothers, especially when, instead of reading, one may listen to him in person What he eives is a literary mono logue. He is not an "orator," but experienced in public speakiner. he knows how to talk in a conventional manner so as to be clearly heard and understood. Work of Finding Jobs for Soldiers Will Continue, Woods Says Curtailment of the working force of the United States- Employment service will not interfere with find ing jobs for soldiers, sailors and war workers, according to a statement from Washington given out by the local emolovment olhce.

Whether it is the woman of good taste and distinction or the man who must have flexibility, power, constant dependability the wish is gratified in the Super-Six closed car. ) The Super-Six has the mechanical excellence that 60,000 owners associate with the Hudson name. It has the aesthetic value of a work of art. Beautiful in Line Perfect in Action The Super-Six is never heavy and sluggish in action, a fault with cars that have merely been fitted with enclosed bodies. In acceleration it is livelier than the usual light open cars. It has endurance beyond any motoring requirement. In performance it is without a peer. Dominates Every Situation There is no frontier for' Super-Six closed cars. They are used for touring, s in town and country, on boulevard and remote highway. Naturally, there are more Hudson closed cars than of any other fine make. GUY L. SMITH "Service Firsf Open Evenings Until Nine. ? VmJosot vCsui&r rRv : rvn ? . . (IBB) Store Opens Daily 9 A. M.
