Hansen of the J. H. Hansen Cadillac company, dis tributors o! Cadiilac motor can for nearly aljof the state of Nebraska and the western part of Iowa, the conditions at the Cadillac factory are now improving.. The Cadillac factory has secured more material - and more labor, and Cadillac auto mobiles art being received in car load lots in .Omaha. The local con cern is now on the gain in filling the orders which they have on hand. 'A shortage of freight tars is near at hand, because the government is - using automobile cars for the ship ment of grain and foodstuffs, and it may become necessary during the fall months to drive motor cars out of Detroit, as was done during the time of the war. Of course it is necessary to transport foodstuffs and the freight car shortage is not so menacing as is the strike of the steel workers. . It is hoped that this horrible strike will be settled be fore it has the effect on the auto mobile industry of practically stop ping the business. The Cadillac factory has an nounc two additional type 57 models. This is the fact around which , a ' rumor, has arisen, and it has been very much misunderstood. The new cars are simply two new styles of enclosed cars, built on tha same eight-cylinder chassis as has been used during the entire type 57 out put, una car is a five-passenger . . iut ilia biavuoi uvonivn vvuwuivu. sedan, the other a seven-passengert. u. :.',- r,A tan.

Some folks say a' coach whip won't chase you and tie you to a pine tree and whip the everlasting daylight out of you. 1 hey scandalized this ancient tradi tion as unscientific, and besides the facts and the evidence. ' The defense now calls to the stand one G. W. Robbins, vhoSe initials may or may not stand for George Washington; and who night watches at the Dow man i Dozier plant in Atlanta by .night i , , Mr. Robbins, being duly certified, deposes' and says that the blamed coachwhip went as far as possible he chased Mr. Robbins three times around his own garden, to begin .with, and when Mr. Robbins finally "turned, and gave battle ,.he (the coachwhip) lassoed him and the en suing wrestling match simply ruined a large part of an acre of excellent radishes and some fine young ( onions. . ' Mr. Robbins says he was out in the garden Monday afternoon pull ing some radishes when he discov ered a six-foot coachwhip snake watching him balefully. Mindful of the tradition, and despite the ab sence of pine trees. Mr. Robbins turned and fled, the coachwhip after mm. , iouna ana rouna tne garden patch fled Mr. Robbins, and the coachwhio still oursued him. The; chase ended near the barn, where Mr. . Kobbina was forced to pause for breath. Whether the coachwhip was shy of wind also . does not appear, but he started ( crawling under the barn to tjjink it Mr. Robbins, encouraged by this manoeuvre and angered at the dam age already wrought among hit gar-den-sass, grasped the snake by his delicately tapering tail and dragged him, kicking furiously, from "beneath the barn. : Instantly the coachwhip changed his tactics and looped him self about Mr. Robbins' neck. Business picked up at once, and the warm spring atmosphere was shattered by rude exclamations of the rough-and-ready variety. The coachwhip had a combination grape vine and head-hold on Mr. Robbins, who was striving to achieve the deadly toe-hold made famous by the late Mr. Gotch. The radish bed was used as a mat, and the grapple was fast and furious. It is always a dif ficult matter to put a toe-hdld on a large and scientific snake, but Mr. Robbins was battling for his life and a few remaining radishes and he got the hold. The first thing Mr. Robbins did was to unwrap the snake from about his goozle. The next thing he did was not strictly in accord with the wrestling regulations. Instead ' of pinning the coachwhip's shoulders to the radish bed, Robbins deliber ately and with malice aforethought , popped his enemy's skull vindictive ly against the side of the barn. The battle ended here. The snake measured two inches over two yards from tip to top. Major-General Edwards Muses to Enter Politics Boston, Sept. 20. Maj. Gen C. R. Edwards has been asked if he would allow his name to be used in connection with a political office in Ohio,, where he lived as a boy and received his appointment to West Point. Maj. John W. Hyatt, morale offi cer of the Northwester department, . who takes charge of the personal matters of the general, said: "The general is not in politic?. Many .offers have come to him from various places, but it ought to be distinctly understood that he is an army, officer and wants to give-) his whole, time and thought to this profession'." - Lieut-Governor Barrows and Wife Off for Lincoln Washington, Sept, .,20.

GOTHAM'S DRUG ADDICTS MUST BE REGISTERED New York Authorities Take Steps to Cure Men and Women of Use , of "Dope." .New York, Sept 20. A long line of men and women stretched away for blocks before an unimposing looking door in Prince street a few days ago. Some of them were in rags, some were moderately well dressed, evidently clerks and salaried people, and some wore furs and silks while their motors, were waiting for them around the block. There were some characteristics common to them all the saffron tints of their skins, the dull, lack lustre eyes, the nervous twitching of the lips and nostrils, the hands that never remained still. One hy one they disappeared into the door. They emerged a ' short time later. Their heads were high, their shoulders thrown back, there was a light in their eyes, vim and energy marked their every move ment as they hurried away, some to work, some to the park benches and the slums, and some to where their purring motors were waiting to carry them back to their comfort able homes. Bring Fight Into Open. In this drama, staged in an unin viting street and hardly arresting the attention of the passersby, New York rung up the curtain on its fight to bring the drug habit into the open. - Hereafter, if the law is strictly carried out and officials declare it will be every person who uses nar cotic drugs will be registered, pho tographed and' regulated regardless of his status, position and condition. curing of every drug addict in the city. . , , The scene enacted in Prince street, and duplicated at several other places throughout the city, was the registering of these addicts. Under the new law they must regis ter. They are issued a card. This card they can take to their phy sicians, who only by this card can issue them a prescription to be filled by a druggist The druggist cannot supply narcotics to anyone who has not registered., The penalty is severe.''- ' :. i Cut Down Rations. The card only lasts for two months. At the end of that time the user again submits himself or her self to examination by medical of ficials. If no progress has been made the same amount is allowed for the next two months. If there are indications that things are going better, that the grains can be cut down without physical suffering and mental unbalance, the card for the next two months calls for smaller injections. In this manner New York hopes to gradually eradicate the drug fiendMby effecting cures. . Officials estimate that in Greater New York there are anywhere from 100,000 to 200,000 known drug users, persons who habitually take mor phine, cocaine, heroin and other forms of drugs. There must be, they declare, other thousands who manage it so covertly that they have not been discovered. Three thousand addicts register ed at the Prince street house the first day. Officials declared this a small percentage. Just as soon as their present supply is exhausted and the invisible talons begin to clutch at their nerves and bodies, officials declare, the users will be driven to the registration places or the river.

Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 2d. Jobbers' prices for reptiles, f. o. b. Los Angeles quote rattlesnakes at 40 cents per pound, (mjire than some cuts of beef); Gila monsters, $10 a dozen; lizards, $3.00 a hundred. Needless to say that these' creat ures are not in demanad as food but, according to Frank Weinberg, who furnished the quotations, addi tions to collections in Europe, where many individuals, as well as menagries, keep them Doth as fads and as a business. Like almost everything else, the reptile market suffered because of the war, but now that it is ended, Mr. Weinberg says, the demand is on the increase. He and as many small boys as care to engage in the hunt, search the hills anad valleys of southern Cali fornia for the harmless "things that crawl with legs," but he goes alone into the desert for rattlers and Gila monsters. He keeps his stock in the - back yard, where his wife handles the creatures and helps in their care as fearlessly as does her husband. A, danagerous business? No, acco'rding to Mr. Weinberg. "No more dangerous than driv ing an automobile," he declared. "Of course you must be careful in handling the poisonous ones. But most of the reptiles people fear are not dangerous at all." He reached into a - glass box) thrust his hand under some dry leaves and brought out a large lizard, squirming and trying to bite. ' He held its head to his lips. It closed its ugly mouth there. "Perfectly friendly and harmless," said Mr. Weniberg, . "see how it kisses me." j A long rattlesnake, which had been sounding a warning, struck, but stopped against the glass side of another box. "He's a littley nervous," said the reptile market man. "He hasn't been handled for some time." He opened the box, tossed a hand kerchief over, the snake's head and quickly clasped""the creature behind where its ears would have been had it had ears. ' "He's a pretty , good rattler," said Mr. Weinberg, "Worth two dollars anyway." Talking of the reptile demand he said: "It's like everything else, there is more demand for imported ser pents than for home products. In Europe they want American snakes. In America they want European reptiles. The quickest capitalistic capitula tion on record is that of an eastern circus manager, who surrendered in three days when the fat lady in the side show went on a hunger strike for higher pay. Prize Pig Delivered to Rookie by Airplane Atlanta,. Ga., Sept. 20.

It makes no difference what language you use if you "roll the bones" and snap your fingers; it's crap shooting. Judge H. R. Stewart made this ruling here when three Jewish youths were brought before him charged with throwing dice. The boys were talking Jewish, they said, and contended they were not throw ing dice. The judge charged them with gambling, but they denied the charge. "One dollar and costs," said the judge and ended the case and the argument. v Belgium Agrees to French 7 Commander On Rhineland Paris, Sept1 20. (Hsvas.)
