in the near future, do you?" he
was asked. ,
"Yes, and in the very near future."
he replied. "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." .
Commodore Beaumont, head of
the commission, spoke at the Cham
ber of Commerce at noon yesterday,
where the entire commission was
entertained.
"The one great purpose of the
aerial derby, around the world is to
open the world's airways," he said.
"It will be a historic event and will
rank in importance with the discov
ery of America by Columbus and
the completion of the Panama ca
nal." The commission left yesterday af
ternoon for Kansas City, Mo.

In This Respect Hudson
Has No Rival
The Super-Six Motor Is Patented and
Exclusive. It Added 72 to Power
W Don't forget that no other car in

me wona nas a motor use xne nua
son Super-Six.
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!

Here's a Chance for
78 Omaha People to
Get Into Grand Opera
The appearance of the Chicago
Opera association Monday evening
at the Auditorium in "Aida," will
offer an opportunity for singers with
operatic ambitions to make their
stage debut.
It will 'mean "the first time on any
stage" for some of Omaha's
amateurs and it may be the begin
ning of professional careers for
some.
Cleofonte Campanini, general di
rector of the Chicago Opera asso
ciation, and Herbert . M. Johnson,
business comptroller, have written
to Omaha to state that they wish
eight girls and 70 men to assist in
the performance of "Aida." It is
desired that the girls be of medium
height. Applicants are requested to
apply at the stage door of the Audi
torium on the evening of the per
formance. It is stated that capable "supers"
are occasionally listed for prospec
tive engagements.
Nominations of Envoys of
Allies Depend On Germans
Paris, Oct. 18. (Havas.) Allied
nations have agreed to make their
nominations of ambassadors to Ber
lin dependent upon the manner in
which the clauses of the treaty of
peace are carried out by Germany,
according to the Echo de Paris,
which quotes a "prominent diplo
mat" as its source of information.
Consuls will be named soon for Ger
man cities, the newspaper says, and
these ..officials will look after the
interests of their nations until am
b?'dors are chosen. ,

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.

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.

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.
But remember, it takes more
than good flour to make ,
good bread and pastry. If, ,
when you mix the dough, the flour or water
right temperature or you let the dough stand in
a cold draft while you are adjusting your milk bill
at the open back door or let it "raise" too long,
or have the oven at the wrong temperature oj; not
enough of the right temperature or use poor or
stale yeast the chances are you will be a bit dis-'
appointed, even with as good a flour as Omar.
" ' .n't..
But my mill is certain that when Omar flour is
ustd, your "bake" will be right so you ,will find
this guarantee on every sack:
"if Omar doesn't bake the best bread you
ever baked, simply take the empty sack
to your srocer, and Jet your money."
