THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, MAY 28, 1921.
Passing of Tram
Cars Predicted
Automobiles to Supplant Trol
. ly Lines Here oon, Says
W. B. Cheek.
A future in which -street cars will
be an unknown quantity and 'wider
city streets, free fiem tracks, was
rffedicted by W. B. Cheek, president
of the Omaha Automobile club and
chairman . of., the joint ood roads
committee, in an address before mem
bers of the KiwariCCclub at the
Rome hotel yesterday noon.
"The automobile aid the automo
bile truck are here to stay. I pre
dict without hesitation that in the
future no more street car systems will
clutter up our streets here tvith
their bad tracks and the commerce
of the nation will bt" carried in by
auto trucks.
"The trend is already that way.
Truck lines operating between Lin
coln and Kansas City already have
been established. There is a bus
line operating bctwewtowns on the
Lincoln hiphway aiSTODmaha which
each week carries hundreds of trav
elers in and out of the city.
"Because of this it is essential
that Omaha and Douglas county
build and maintain the best roads
possible. Travelers will follow the
best roads. With good roads, traf
fic and trade will be diverted to
Omaha."
During his talk, in which he de
scribed the . activities of the -joint
committee, made up of members of
the Automobile club, Chamber of
Commerce, Rotarv club, Kiwanis
club, Automobile Trades association
and the Grain, Real Estate and
Live Stock exchanges. Mr. Cheek
urged the members to boost for
good roads.

Masons Planning
To Run Hospital
f
Proposition to Be Discussed at
Meeting of Nebraska
Lodge Here.
The purchase or erection of a hos
pital to be operated by the Masons
will be one of the principal subjects
to come before the meeting of the
Nebraska grand lodge of Masons in
Omaha June 7.
The purchase of the new Fenger
hospital at Twenty-sixth street and
Dewey avenue is one of the tentative
propositions presented to the Ne
braska lodge.
Mrs. E. C. Henry, builder of the
Fenger hospital and at present its
manager, declared yesterday that the
hospital was for sale and that some
negotiations had been carried on
with the Masons. '
Grand lodge officials liave ex
pressed themselves as being well
pleased with the institution.
The Fenger hospital was finished
in October, 1920, at a cost of $600,000
and was to be a memorial to the
Danish boys and girls who were
killed in the late war. Those who
took over the hospital were unable
to meet obligations and after a few
months found themselves involved
in litigation which ended in the ap
pointment of a rciecevr.
Vicinity Gassed by
Explosion of Tank
A tank containing 23 pounds of
sulphur dioxide blew up at Fifteenth
and Harney streets at 11 o'clock yes
terday, thoroughly "gassing" the
neighborhood.
Business was suspended and
pedestrians left the vicinity until the
disagreeable odor floated away.
The tank, property of the Colton
company, 404 South Fifteenth street,
was being loaded on a truck to be
hauled to its new location at Nine
teenth and Douglas streets when a
faulty valve gave out.

Says Doctor Drove Niece .
And Her Mother From Omaha
That the late Dr. George L. Mil
ler "drove his niece, Miss Nellie
Johnson, and her mother from Om
aha because he was ' ashamed of
the way 'they . dressed," was
the allegation made yesterday in dis
trict court by attorneys for Miss
Johrison.
She is trying to break a trust
deed made in 1906 by Dr. Miller,
prominent Omaha pioneer and cap
italist, conveying 80 acres of land
at Seymour lake to Charles T. and
Luther Kountze to be turned over
to the Nebraska Humane society at
his death.
Dr. "Miller died a year ago. .

HELP YOURSELF CLUB
"HE TES
of One's Ability Is in Trying
.Whenhe Help Yourself Club Campaign was inaugurated, quite
a lot of fictfks, attracted by the marvelous value of the awards, en
tered their nominations and thought they had made up their minds
to secure one of the awards.,
Some become faint-hearted, and with
the thought' that they were not of the
"lucky" fo$s and not realizing the true
nature of .the campaign, which , is that
members v8 be rewarded strictly in ac
cordance with the work which they do,
they gradually desisted in their efforts.
Some found the truth that the ele
ment of luck hadnothing to do with
their success that hard work was the
only way-to secure an award, and not
fancying strenuous work, they dropped
out of the campaign.
The only element of "luck" entering
the Help Yourself Club Campaign is that
"luck" of possession of individual deter-rnination-a
belief in one's own ability
and the -willingness to work hard to
prove it.

If you possess this "luck," you are one who should at once be
come a member of the Help Yourself Club. '.
There are mighty few of us who would not be willing to work
strenuously at our usual line of work if we had the inducement held
out to us of securing for a few 'weeks'
extra effort an automobile.
Securing subscriptions for The Bee is
a dignified job.' You are offering your
friends-something which in the" near fu
ture they will purchase in; any event.
The wonderful improvement in The Bee
has opened the eyes of the public to
the fact that The Bee is theiogical paper
to have in the home.
We believe there is still time for en
ergetic members to make a start right
now and retrieve what they have lost
through their inactivity. None of. the
awards have been won. Everybody has
an opportunity and the opportunity is de
pendent entirely upon their: own idivid
ual desire to secure 'one of these . valu
able awards. . "' - -

Notes for Members and Non-Members
A Good Buy
When HTe day of announcing the awards ar- v
rives, a number of members are going to say,
"WelH never was lucky." Those who do secure ?
the awards will say, "I surely worked for it, but
just see what J received for my work." Which will
you say? .
'','.:
Somebody is going to- sit behind the wheel
of that big. $4,440.00 Cadillac and glide along
tthe road atfd have an awful lot of kindly feeling
for the Help Yourself Club and that one,-will be
the one who secured the second highest number

on hand.

SomebSJy, is going to make a real home of "
that $7,8000 house at 2758 Titus Ave., and
the family which does will feel real kindly
towards theVHelp Yourself Club. ' -
The small list of members entered in the
' various Districts proves very clearly that a full
appreciation-of the value of "the awards of the
Help Yoursalf Club has. not been experienced.
The more rijmbers entered, the less will be the
number of jptes required to win the awards.
Keep in mind these few points about The
Bee. It is for Omaha, for Nebraska and for its
readers. It has no axe to grind. It would .much
rather boostithan criticise. It endeavors at all
times to he fair to everybody. It has three , news
services the complete Chicago Tribune Leased
. Wire News and Universal News Service, in' addi
tion to Assffiiated Press. It is easily the newsiest
paper In Nebraska,

Help YourseTf Club
Subscriptions count three ways right now
regular votes, extra votes and cash value toward
the special additional awards of the Overland and
Gardner cars. As an example, we will take a
$25.50 subscription. First, it is worth 250,000
votes under the regular vote, schedule; then you
get 76,500 extra votes under the offer of 75,000
additional votes for each $25:00 in subscriptions;
also you will receive a credit for $25.50 to apply
on your effort to secure the special award of
the Overland and Gardner cars.
The Special Additional Awards of the
$1,625.00 Overland Sedan and the $1,350.00
r Gardner car are given for the largest amount of
'cash subscriptions turned in between May 16th
and June 4th: Everybody still has an equal op
portunity to earn these cars, as no subscriptions
turned in before Majr 16th' will apply on these
awards. These cars will be awarded, one to the
member in Districts 1, 2, 3 and 4 turning in the
largest amount of cash subscriptions between
May 16th and June 4th, and the other to the mem
ber of the outside districts, 5, 6, 7 and 8, turning
in the largest amount of cash subscriptions during
the same period in the outside districts. The
