Simplicity in the 'construction of
a motor track, is of vital impor
tance to tht owner and may mean
a good number of dollars in his
pocket
t "The simpler the construction, the
better, is my opinion," : says Lee
Huff of the Nebraska Buick com
pany, local dealers for CMC trucks,
"provided, of course, that none of
the essentials to good truck con
struction are neglected. Simplicity
meant less loss of time end less
cost when replacements ere neces
sary. It elso eliminates , possible
chances for- breakage end mishand
ling by inexperienced drivers.
"GMC trucks are known for their
simplicity and these points held
good for them, t There also is the
matter of safety.- Strange es it may
seem, the simplicity of construction
may mean safety in time of mishap.
Just how true this is was demon
strated when a GMC chassis was
f truck by e train down 4n New
York. . :
" Only" Frame Bent " . v,
' "Instead of smashing the entire
rear end of the , truck tearing off
the springe end tires and possibly
overturn injr the GMC and injuring
its driv,the collision only ibent
the frame, ; And the construction
the truck alone was responsible. . ,
' "The frame of GMC trucks is no
bolted orftfreted1 onto. the spring
shackle shaft,' but: is held in place
by two brackets, through which the
shaft-runs. The shaft, in turn is
not bolted to the spring shackles,
but fits into them and -is held there
because the -shackles ere bored out

solid along with the rest of the the, organization of the automobile
industry has there been until with
in' the last few days , any definite
the I attempt at co-operation between the
manufacturers of automobiles and
the producers of gasoline. The re

opportunity. Discussions between

rear end of the truck, the frame bent
and the brackets slipped along the
shaft. This: shoved the ; frame to
one , side and avoided a sharp re
sistance to the force of the blow.
"The truck remained upright and
when the damage was investigated,
it was found that all that was needed
was to straighten the frame. A new
frame was put. in, however.o make
certain that the truck would be as
strong as ever. ' . " .

was -a trifle, "however, compared to
the cost of tires and springs and of
the rear axle, hadMhe construction

Most car owners drain the oil out
of the crankcase about three times a
year, and as a general rule this used
oil is simply thrown away. By add
ing SO per cent of kerosene to this
waste oil an excellent -spring lubri
cant is obtained. The method of
using the mixture is to spray it over
ths springs once a week. The oil
furnishes the lubricating means,
while the kerosene keeps the springs
free from rust.
ALL SEVEN (JEW
HUDSON TYPES
OF MUCH BE AUTY
Enclosed Body Styles Set
Higher L Standard Than
Ever Before xfor
' Luxury. .
"The new Hudson Super-Six wP'
enme in seven body 'types mote
notable for their beauty than ever
before," said Guy L. Smith. ...
"-And just as the chassis repre
sents the perfected development tf
a decade of achievement, so do
these models represent i the highest
ideal of the roach builder's art The
envelopment "of beauty, artistry and
utility in the Hudson has kept pace
with the perfection of mechanical
detail. -
"Hudson designers were among
iie first to recognize and satisfy the
craving of tlis public for refinement
and distinction in motor cars. Skill
ed Hudson artisans were pioneers in
investing the automobile with that
air of dignified quality which mark
ed the fine old family coach of a
generation ago."'
"The century-old of fine coach
building was revived by Hudson in
the belief that the particular nen
and women of today are just . as
proud, of the appearance of their
cji s as the old aristocracy was
proud of the exclusive features of
the family cokch'
i "As a result, new standards of
tcfcuty have been created each year
until Hudson cars have become as
famous for their, distinction of ap
pearance as for their power and en
durance. The constant aim, how
ever, has been to combine utility
with beauty.. No Hudson body. has
ever been built merely for the pur
pose of having' something different
Every model has filled a real transr
portation need.
"This is true in a supreme degree
of the ssevtn new body types the
fon and seven-passenger Pheetons,
Sedan, sCoupe, Cabriolet, K Touring
limousine and Limousine. ' There is
g-eater economy and practicability
with the utmost in luxury and com
fort in every . one of these new

OPPORTUNITY IU
PROPOSED DRIVE
Now Possible to Acquire En
tire River Front by Expen-'
diture of Comparatively
- ; Small Sum. "
In the proposed river-front Oma
ha has an oooortunitv unsurpassed
by any other American and even
most European cities. By the ex
penditure of e comparatively small
sum of money, it will now be possi
ble to acquire the entire river-front

Point) on the south to Ponca creek
on the north, exceptions of dollars
for an opportunity such as is now
presented to Omaha. Chicago has
spent millions of dollars in acquir
ing and improving its lake-front.
Minneapolis and St. Paul have ac
quired muck) of the property on
either side of the Mississippi river.
In. these two cities, as -in many oth
ers, the advantage of acquiring river
front and lake-front properties have
never been realized sufficiently soon
to permit of their full acquisition
before the property had been occu
pied and spoiled for its most natur
al use. Omaha can acquire its river
front, build the river drive and make
an - improvement of unsurpassed
value for less money than many cit
ies have already spent or would
now be willing to spend for im
provements of a much smaller pro
portion.. " i
Omaha is a young city which has
yet to experience, its ; greatest
growth. The extension and develop
ment of the oark and boulevard sys
tems during the next few years are
absolutely necessary before this . is
made impossible through the im-
Iprovernents of residence and indus
try, xtiis does not mean tnat tne
park and boulevard system can be
developed only at the expense . of
the residential and industrial devel
opment On the contrary the best
park and ' boulevard development
consists of making use of land which
by reason of irregularity or poor lo
cation is unsuitable either for resi
dential or industrial development
In the case of the river rive. we
have an excellent example of this.
South of Missouri avenue and east
of Thirteenth street great ravines
extend backward . from the river.
These could never be used for indus
trial purpose and could be used for
nothing except the shabby type of
residential development because of
the excessive cost for grading and
street construction that . would be
necessary. On rtke other hand, this
territory . has exceeding natural
beauty,' in fact, is ideally suited for
park property. If left to private de
velopment, this property will be
come nothing more than dunfping
grounds for refuse and development
of shacks, examples of which can
be seen in the district This im
proper use of the property will be
a detriment to the city inasmuch as
it depreciates the value of the sur
rounding territory, and reduces taxi
returns io inc cuy over large area.
.Omaha has made a splendid start
on a park and boulevard system.
It possesses many small parks and
over 35 miles of boulevard. There
are only four cities in the country
which have a greater boulevard mile
age. Omaha should have-as much
boulevard mileage is any American
city, since it should - profit by the
mistakes and lack of foresight of
the other large cities.-' The1 best
park systems in the United States
have been developed by park boards
which were not influenced by polit
ical considerations and have bad
only the finest development of their
particular systems in mind. Omaha's
park, and boulevard system wa de
veloped almost entirely by the park
board which went dut of existence
six or eight years ago. Since that
time no appreciable extensions have
been made in-the park and boule
vard system. ' This is not intended
as a reflection upon the recent ad
ministration, it simply shows that
the citizenship ,bas recently failed
to appreciate the necessity for con
tinuous attention to Omaha's park
and boulevard system, particularly
at this time when the city is growing
at a fast rate. We must also admit
that the roads, the planting and the
general treatment of Omaha's park
and boulevards, to say the least, are
shabby. .1 know, of no other large
city where the parks and particularly
the boulevards are so poorly cared
for. , -t;
