Auto Co. That Lends Car
Not Liable for Accidents
San Francisco,' Cal., April 19
'(Special.) The California court of
appeals hat handed down a decision
.holding: "The liability of an owner
'of an automobile for the negligence
of its driver depends on the exist
; ence of the relation of principal and
agent between the two. This rela
tion does not result from the mere
borrowing of such automobile.
Hence it is uniformly held that the
owner is not responsible for injuries
resulting from the negligence of a
driver, whose only, relation to the
owner is that of borrower."
The foregoing decision affirming
the judgment of nonsuit rendered in
an action for personal injuries by
the trial jury in the case of Joseph
A. Brown vs. Chevrolet Motor
company of California and Fred W.
West. The evidence submitted at
the trial showed that West, a sales
man for the motor company, had
borrowed a car from the latter to
take his family out for a ride on
Sunday. While out driving on this
excursion West had an accident,
with the result that one man was
killed and several others injured.
Joseph A. Brown, one of the vic
tims, brought suit against the mo
tor company and West, as joint de
fendants, but no service was made
otv the latter and the case went to
trial with the automobile company
as sole defendant. When the case
was nonsuited, Brown, the plaintiff,
appealed, but the decision just hand
ed down holds that the motor com
fiany can not be held liable for al
eged negligence of West while driv
ing the car he had borrowed for
the Sunday trip.
The Chevrolet Motor company's
liability was insured with the United
States Casualty company, and liabili
ty underwriters generally are much
interested in the case, as it has an
important bearing on automobile
concerns liability risks where dem
onstrators are employed, as in -the
testimony in the trial court West
claimed that he offered the car for
side to two or three parties while on
the trip, and that therefore he was
acting as a saieman tor tne unev
rolet Motor company, which was in
sured for its legal liability with the
umteq rotates casuait

product is desired. '
Patriot Trucks are built in one of the largest factories in the
United States, located within easy reach of any dealer or truck

Sturdy Stutz Talks
What Car CAN You
Afford to Own?
jrn The firat cost should not be the prime consideration
VsUI in the purchase of a motor vehicle. It is the after
costs that are expensive. Too many penny wise and
dollar foolish folks buy "cheap" cars and then discover the
folly of their reason. "Cheap" cars are cheap cars and
the most expensive in the end. We have not reached that
stage of civilizaton where we can buy something for noth
ing. Quality costs money but inferiority costs more money
paid on the installment plan. The only car that you can
afford to own is the car that is mechanically dependable
an investment that pays dividends in service. True, the
first cost of such a car may be greater, but the after costs
are minimum. You CAN afford to drive a Stutz.

The joint recital of Rudolph Ganz.
Swiss pianist, and Carolina Lazzari,
contralto, will be given at the Au
ditorium Tuesday evening, April 22.
aeldom, if ever before, have two
artists of such brilliancy appeared
in joint recital before an Omaha
audience. Rudolph Ganz is one of
the great pianists o the day, minus
every trace of pose and sensation
alism. He has a facility which hides
endeavor and a spontaniety of ex
pression that makes one forget the
efforts its attainment has required.
Carolina Lazzari's voice is big,
velvety, luscious toned and ex
pressive. It is one of those pure
contralto voices which, when di
rected by a fine musical intelligence
and well controlled temperament, is
ideal for the effective presentation
of song. The program for Tuesday
evening: .

Returning Soldiers
Demanding Machines
Materials as well as men were
trained to the elastic limit in France.
Up front, in the area of defense,
war crosses and citations testified to
the work of men. Behind in the
quieter areas of S. O. S. machines
did their work just as capably, yet
there were none to cite their praises.
And so, while the legislators at
home were raising the academic
question as to whether the motor
car was a luxury or a necessity, au
tomobiles were proving their worth
tinder the most exacting conditions.
"For want of a nail the battle was
lost" was once a good excuse. But
a defective spark plug or a leaky pis
ton ring can dare assume no such re
sponsibility today. Motor cars in
France vyere given their job and no
extenuating circumstances were rec
ognized. So, instead of crosses and citations
letters from overseas are arriving
daily, pencil-scrawled . or formally
typewritten, as the case may be. The
following excerpt was recently re
ceived from Lt CoL J. B. Lowman,
U.S. A.:
"Although I have nsed Cadillac
for a great many years and have al-1
ways been enthusiastic about them,
I really did not appreciate them until
I saw what they were doing on the
western front. I was fortunate in
being able to have one for a short
time. Owing to the fact that every
other officer wanted one and there
were not enough to go around, I
could not have it as much as I
wished.''

The- new Musical Review thus
forecasts the feeling of song in
America:
After July 1st the operatic and the
concert stage will be rigorously sup
ervised by the Anti-Rum League.
Whisky and soda will disappear
from the first act of "Madame But
terfly," even though the quaffing of i
it by Lt. Benjamin Franklin Pinker-1
ton and Mr. Sharpless is accompa- !
nied by fragments of "The Star !
spangled Banner." Tunddu will no
longer drink Sicilian wine before he
bites the ear of Alfio, or does Alfio
bite his? we have not seen the op
era for many months. ' The first
scene between Iago and Cassio will
fall out of Verdi's "Otello." There
will be no more brown October ale
'n "Robin Hood," and we doubt if
Mr. De Koven can then be persuad
ed to conduct his operetta. Cider of
Normandy will no longer be ex
tolled in "The Chimes of Norman
dy" nor will there be praise of port
er, brown and stout, in "Martha."
The concert singer's repertory will
be censored, but there will be furi
ous applause when a tenor or bari
tone sings "Drink to Me Only With

It Is Not Hard to See Why
Men Want Saxon "Six"
They know it to be a proved success. In a field of good
cars Saxon "Six" stands out clearly as the supreme car the best
value. Its great pulling power, its smoother power-flow, its
swifter acceleration and its greater endurance, have been estab
lished in public competition as well as in the daily service of
thousands of owners. And it has always been known as an eco
nomical car. It is a motor car investment of remarkable value.
