McCall White, designer of the LaFayette, has given his newest creatio.i five main bearings-instead of the orthodox three. The crankshaft is a hollowed irop forging of large diameter and as every crank throw and connecting rod is located between two main bearings, the rigidity of he shaft is so nearly perfect as practically to eliminate vibration of all engine Red Arrow Essex flakes Fast Time On Fremont Trip Emergency Run of 41 Mile Over Cfi&ppy Roads Accom plished! byf Amatejir , Driver in One Hour.

The return trip after dark took one hour and thirty minutes. A number of detours were necessary, both coming and going, and the roads, generally speaking, were yry rough and choppy According to GuyiLSmith this is conclusive proof that an Essex will bake records even when handled by men who have never driven an Essex car before. , Oldsmobile Company ' Jrade Is Increasing During Pull Period ' "We feel'thSt the progress made by the Nebraska Oldstmobile com pany during the past three years is worthy fof attention," asserts J.

Cleary, advertising manaJ ger and sale) promotional manager for the Cadillac Motor company of Detroit, was a guest pi the local Cadillac organization Friday. Mr. Geary has "been making a tpor of the central -west in an effort to gather data regarding-the prospects for the coming season. . . Al the luncheon given ' iq his honor4 at the Athletic club, Friday noon, Mr. Clears went into detail in rigard ta- tlw various problems which cojifront the . manufacturers today. In the case' of the Cadillac there, is little or no arffciety regard' -ig the future business. . . 'f : .Mr. Llery was armed with statis tipal information whih pointed out quite clearly that there was no likeli hood of the supply of Cadillacs catching up witli the demand. -Naturally the factories take' advantage pf the winter months to catch up on production and to get thpir dealers' stock in shape for summer business. This condition exists each,-winter. In Mr. Cleary's opinion however, Cadillac dealers need have no fear regarding the future. Douglas Motors Moved.

Oct. 16.- ScorA of younjmen, some of them lime more inan uuvs, wuii vuwm , i hands cut off, are living reminders of, 1 1 recent revolutions in Mexico. They are condemned to a life, of beggary, and are among ine mwwuae oi Deg-1 garr soliciting aims in me streets oi : this city' and elsewhere throughout the country. v They were mutilated by bards of brigands calling themselves rolu- tionists. The most active of tne bandit-rebels in the work of mutilation it is said, were the Zapatistas. It was the usual thing to hang cao- tured members of an. enemy force. The men whose" hands were cut off were usually labo.rersN engaged in the work of repairing damage to tne rait roads and other property wrought by the'rebels. v - ? - When the roadroad track was tori up the government would send bands of laborers to make repairs. Some of these laborers fell into the hands of the rebels. Many in addition tov, hav ing both 'hands' cut off lost both ears under the knives of their cap tors. .. - Wi'tJinnf Vianna thp iinfrtrtnnati men have been unable to earn a liv ing by labor. It is .even impossible lor them to receive alms in the usual way, and the charitable must drop heir gttts into, the pockets or the mendicants.. . T As most of these maimed mcfl are young, their , appeals for aid will probably keep frtsh in mind the hor rors of he revolutions for manv year? to come. - v 1 - 'Don't Use a Reamer.

As a matter- of fact, a battery does not need a great deal of -care, and the average driver gets good results by putting in a Jittle water every week or so, nnd making regular calTs athe service station." it Ik It j t e ivr-ii 'Acia rrpoi woou. .
