"Aerial navigation will become as methodical and commer cialized as railroad and steamship lines very soon. "The aerial derby will take place next year. The commission will sail from San Francisco, November 3, for Japan, and will meet the heads of all governments of the Orient. We expect to gain much valuable data on the trip." The idea of the around the world derby is attributed to Henry Wood house, editor of Flying, Aerial Age Weekly and a dozen other aero nautic publications. Mr. Wood house is a modest man who is in clined to give the rest of the party credit for "putting the thing over." "The idea sounds kind of impos sible, doesn't it?" he smiled. "Of course it is impossible, to fly clear around the world without touching ground. As we have planned the derby, participants may start from any part of the globe. They also may use any type of aircraft which they desire. Balloons Over Pacific. "I believe dirigible balloons will be most popular in crossing the' Pa cific. Some may cross in airplanes, however. The winners' of the derby will be those who make the trip around the world . in the shortest time and who travel the greatest distance in the air. More than $100,000 in prizes will be awarded to winners of the contest." .

When you see a Hudson doing the things that only the highest powered cars can do, rememher that in size, the Super-Six motor is not large and that it obtains its great power he cause of . the patented - principle which minimizes vibration. Adds to the Life of the Car, Too Vibration is the greatest destruc tive force about a motor car. Vibration does, far more damage than any shock received in useful service. You can see its destructive effects when a motor is raced. Vibration absorbs power. By mini mizing it, greater power is available for the operation of the car. - And there is less strain and damage done through self-destruction. The records made by the Super-Six were possible only because of its 'patented motor. It enabled the Hud son to maintain close to its maxi mum speed for hours, even days as in one test, without hammering' itself to pieces. Now Note How Hudson Is Even Greater Hudson records were made more than three years ago. Then 60,000 Super-Sixes were distributed to own ers. Everyone became a help in mak ing the present model a finer, better Hudson, of which 100 are delivered daily. The qualities of every detail were brought up to match the motor, that had reached a new high level of efficiency. All men seem to know this. For four years Hudson has been the largest selling fine car. Practically every buyer has had to wait for de livery. Even now we are booking orders for advance delivery. That men will wait to get .the car of their choice is proof of Hudson quality. What greater testimonial can there be! 4 GUY L. SMITH r SLELB VICE Fl Rf$ f OMAHA.

Life in Hawaii Is Not All Love and Musics Says Ghet Yankee Soldier Says His Hawaiian Beauty Would ' Disillusion All These Song Writers Claims She Played the Club, Not Ukelele Missed Death by Water BucketGranted Divorce. A divorce granted yesterday by Judge Day in divorce court to Ches ter Reals, 3214 North Twenty-fourth street, proves that not all the girls in Hawaii spend their time in twang ing the plaintive ukulele and sing ing lovesongs to their sweethearts. "I'll say they don't," is Mr. Reals' testimony. Chester enlisted in the United States army May 11, 1914, and was stationed in . Hawaii, near the lyrically celebrated "beach at Wai-Ki-Ki, where the lovely and gentle Hawaiian maids do naught but twang the ukulele, dance in the moon light and minister to the comfort of their lovers. That's what the song writers try to tell you. Chester Can't Agree. But list to the experience of Ches ter. Before Judge Day, right here in our own Douglas county court house yesterday, he testified that in stead of these soft ministrations, his wife was accustomed to hitting him over the head with clubs. This Hawaiian maid was addicted to the excessive use of Hawaiian gin. The fiery liquor had no soften ing effect' upon her disposition which, by nature, Chester said, was sullen and morose. Once she threw a water bucket at him. Sh? was a large and very strong voman and if the water bucket had hit him he intimated he might not be in Omaha to get a divorce. Then, one dark night, when even the celebrated Hawaiian moonlight was not beaming upon that tropic land, he was awakened from sleep just in time to see the large figure of his wife sneaking slowly into his room. . Back to the U. 8. A. - He watched her, fascinated. She was intoxicated. And in her hand she earned a large club. She ap proached his bed, reeling a little as she walked. She raised the club and was about to bring it down with, i . t tHt j i crusmng lorce upon nis ncaa, wnen he leaped up, grappled with her and wrested the bludgeon trom her hand. ; This was enough for Chester. He kept away from Her. When his en listment was up he took their child and came back to the U. S. A. Mr. Reals says he doesn't care for Hawaiian music and hates the sound of a ukulele. "It's all bunk," he says. Judge Day gave him custody of the little boy. Police Arrest Alleged " Member of Auto Theft Gang F. J. Pfieffer, 922 North Nine teenth street, was arrested yesterday by Detectives Jensen and Brinkman. Police say Pfieffer is wanted for the theft of an automobile at St. Cloud, Minn., and believehim to be a member of a gang of auto thieves which h been operating in this section of the country. WHISKY PLANT , OPERATING JUST: ;! f rrn rrrv t iTt ; 1 Federal and v Omaha Officen s J Raid Cellar and Make Arrests. Two alleged operators of a whisk) still were arrested at 6 Friday night by federal officers and Omaha police within a block of the outskirts of Omaha, at Thirty-sixth street and Sarpy county, just across the Doug-. las line. ... - The men arrested were, . Tom Yerogvich and Garva JarvicW. They" , were "cooking" mash, at the time , their house was raided, according to the arresting officer, with a large copper boiler set tip over, a small stove and a large tub into which the mash was being drained. ' ' The still was located in a dark corner of the cellar of the house. Officers say they had been watching the place for some time in an effort to arrest the men while they had the still in operation. Upon investiga tion it was believed the liquor was "cooked" only at the latter part of the week. It is believed the rest of the week was taken up in peddling the stuff. ; Acting upon this information, E. J. Quinley, deputy United- States marshal; Larry Hynn and J.. Kelly of the internal revenue department; E. D, Kirk, Department of Justice Detectives Francl and Heller of the South Side left Omaha Friday after noon and raided the house at 6. Mike Dokomovich. who lives within a block of the place, was ar rested, when 20 gallons of liquor and eight barrels of mash were found in his house. v5 .01 f "i ' 7 There is a lot of difference between telling the truth, and I am telling say that bread, cake, cookies, and baked with Omar flour re just the most delicious you ever ate.
