THE BEE: OMAHA, 5UNDA, JULY 17, 1SW1. 14 A Mexico to Link Meridian Road .With Mexico City Agrees to Appropriate $5,000 a Mile for Highway 831 Miles Long to Laredo, Tex. The Mexican government lias promised to approbate 1,000 pesos, or $5,000 per mile, for 831 miles of highway from Mexico City to Laredo, Tex., to connect there with the Meridian highway, which is the Winnipeg to Gulf road in America. This fact was reported today by Dr. F. A. Long of Madison, Neb., who is in Omaha on his return from Mexico City, where he was a mem ber of a party of 14 directors and delegates of the Meridian Highway association seeking to interest the Mexican central government in ex tending the highway into Mexico. Dr. Long is director lrom Ne braska for the Meridian Highway association. Returning from Mexico last night he stopped in Omaha to visit with his brother; A. E. Long, 3022 South Thirty-fourth street, and his sister, Mrs. F. A. Wellman, 2302 South Thirty-second street. Suggest Extension. The directors have been in 6rre spondence with Mexican authorities for more than six months suggesting such an extension of the Meridian hidhway into Mexico. As a culmina tion of this chain of correspondence, the directors decided to make a trip to Mexico City with a view to arous ing further enthusiasm and at the same time helping to lay out a route for the proposed highway in the re public to the south. The Mexicans received them with enthusiasm, and the central government sent a special war department Pullman to Laredo, Tex., to pick up the American dele gation there. Willing to. Co-Operate. "After we got on Mexican soil our money was no good," said Dr. Long. "The governors of the various Mexican states we visited on the way down assured us of their will ingness to co-operate, but in each case they made it plain that they wanted to wait and see what attitude the central government would take toward the project. This was soon determined when we reached Mexico City. There we met President Obregon, who assured us of his willingness to co-operate. ' "Mexico is woefully devoid of auto roads. Everywhere that we spoke to chambers of commerce, the members assured us that we had opeited up to them a new view of the possibilities that lay in road de velopment and especially the possi- tilities in opening the Meridian high ly into Mexico City, the great his toric city of the westbto hemisphere, the city which will attract thou sands of tourists every year from America." -j Women Take Better iCare of Batteries 1 rrrt m w i ? than Men Unvers A Pleasing Design. iiEniJL'fl!p wiwm 11 .Ml vmn.usx?&fL -POUCH: O'OTWTDX- I rl 1 This comfortable cottage is home like and up-to-date in all its arrange ments.

While out horseback riding recently, her mount was frightened and ran away, galloping madly. Mary was saved by Fritz Murphy, who saw her plight, drove up alongside the flying steed, and gallantly lifted her onto his machine The horse ran over an embankment a little farther on and was killed. "Very few women have a natural bent for mechanics," says Elmer Rosengrcn of the Nebraska Storage Battery company, "but when it comes to taking care of a storage battery they average up a great deal better than the men." It is easy to make a woman un derstand that a battery has to be taken care of and after this point is made clear, she usually takes par ticular pains to follow directions and do regularly the few simple things that are necessary to keep the bat tery in A-l shape. '.Perhaps it is because women arc usid to caring for plants that they do so well in caring for batteries, but whatever the cause may be the result is a longer lived more useful battery. "Another thing about mdst women is that they do not abuse the bat tery by keeping the motor spinning when the engine refuses to start right away. They are not satisfied, as a rule, unless everything about the engine and starting equipment is working perfectly, and when it isn't they usually take a short cut to the nearest service station to find out just what the difficulty is." Automobile Trade Now Back to Normal, Says Omaha Dealer According to Ralph W. Jones of the ' Card-Adams Motor company the automobile business is back to normal, but the dealers do not rea lize it. Jones asserts that it is far easier to sell cars today than it was, in 1914, 1915 and 1916 and that many dealers have reached the highest point in the number of re tail sales made during the months of April, May and June. . The years, 1919 and 1920 were far above normal in the sale of auto mobiles and according to Jones should not be used in measuring normal business. Territory business is already pick ing up materially and dealers are coming in for cars almost daily. In the western part of Nebraska, where the wheat crop has been harvested, dealers are taking cars as fast as they can get them and indications art that territory business will show a marked increase very soon. Stock Car Runs Mil I Track in 58 Seconds lalph Hitchcock of the LaFayette Hyward company recently drove the Ak-Sar-Ben mile track in a seven-passenger LaFayette demon strator in 58 seconds. This car has been driven more than 15,000 miles and no changes of any sort were made before attempting the run. All the equipment was intact and the top and windshield were tip. The tar weighed 4,180 pounds at the time the run was made. Hitchcock will attempt to equal the record of 52 seconds made by one of the racing cars during the recent Ak-Sar-Ben automobile races, but before attempting this record, will lower the top and windshield and remove Ithe spare tires.

' The ashes of William H. Wil liams, aged 29, an automobile racer of Philadelphia, were scattered over the track at the fair grounds at Hagerstown, Md., where he was killed in a 10-mile race recently. This was in accord with the request ex pressed to his brothers by Williams as he was dying in the Hagers town hospital from a fracture of the skull. Williams received his in juries when he crashed into another rr.cmg ar. The erage client goes into a decorator's establishment and says, "I want to look at living room papers," and seems loath to state her particular symptoms as she would unhesitatingly to a doctor whom she expects to help her. Such requests do not take into consideration any thing more than the personal wishes of the client, when they should be based upon the specific problem of her rooms. Correct and satisfying wall decoration depends, in general, upon the exposure of the room, size, the size and number of the pictures, the color and design in hangings, rugs, upholstery, ornaments, lamp shades, and so forth. Northern rooms need sunshine ef fects of delicate yellows and orange, buffs (i. e., light tan), creams and pinks. Unless the northern effect is neutralized somewhat by the other exposures, the use of cold colors, as lavender and blue, is disappointing. Nothing is so difficult to match and harmonize as blues.- Concentrated in a bowl, a vase, a Delia Robbia plaque, or a decorative silk panel, however, the effectiveness of blue is not squandered. Just opposite to this, southern rooms, like western rooms, because flooded with sun shine, need cooling effects to be ob tained in greens, blues and lavenders. Eastern rooms, with their morning sunlight, can stand either cool or warm colors. Since ivory, tan or gray tones are neutral, they are good with either cool or warm exposures. Poorly lighted rooms should have light papers. White paper gives 80 per cent of light; yellow, 60 per cent; emerald-green, 20, and dark brown, 10 per cent. The choice of a figured paper de pends further upon whether one is using plain or designed hanging fab ribs, or whether there is a great deal of other design in the room, parti cularly in rugs and upholstery cov erings. If the hangings are plain, the walls can be figured, if there are no pictures to be hung, and there is not much other design in the room. The choice of a designed paper depends still further upon the size of the room. Large rooms but not sleeping rooms, if the above condi tions are met, may have design. In small rooms, design decreases the apparent size of the room. The reason for not having design in bed rooms is because the presence of de sign on bedroom walls is often dis turbing when one is convalescing and lying abed, tracing patterns or counting spots. The height of the ceiling de termines the choice of a paper also. Stripes increase the apparent height of the ceiling. Since bedroom ceil ings are generally low, stripes are most appropriate there. The floor, which constitutes back ground, should be dark, heavy in ef fect, the side wall lighter than the floor and the ceiling lighter than the wall but in the same hue. The principle is like nature the ground heavy and dark in value, the surroundings lighter than the ground and the sky lighter than the sur roundingsconditions due, of course, to the reflection of light. Good wall papers, from an art point of view, are plain papers which have an effect of texture gaiued by the use of dots or dashes, as in imitation Japanese grass cloth; stipple or rough plaster effects, imitation basket and fabric weaves, and canvas papers. Bungalow Is Sold for $8,000 4 Hours After -Listed for Sale An interesting transaction of the last week was the sale, by Frederic L.

Phone WAInut 0300 Story of Recent Price Decline Told by Charts Dodge Brothers Dealer Has Interesting Way of Com paring Variations in Costs. Anyone interested in prices and there are few who are not interested these .days will find some unusual disclosures in a set of charts just released to their dealers by Dodge Brothers. The charts are not confined to automobile prices, as might be as sumed from the fact that they were issued by an automobile manufac turer, but show clearly and accurate ly the remarkable variations in the cost of hundreds of commodities over a period of seven and eight years. If, by any chance, your salary has been recently reduced and you are inclined to grumble, try the simple experiment of comparing your pres ent salary with your salary in June, 1920, when the peak was reached in the prices of most commodities. If you are making as much now as you were then, you are still 41 per cent ahead of the game, accord ing to one of the charts, which shows a decline of 41 per cent from June, 1920, to June, 1921, in the prices of 321 commodities. If you have been reduced 10 per cent, you are 31 per cent ahead. Dodge Brothers did not issue these charts, however, to , at tempt to justify any salary reduo tions," said R. E. Davis of the O'Brien-Davis Coad Co., "but merely to prove to the public that the price of Dodge Brothers motor car has been remarkably low all through the period of high prices, as compared with the general trend. "Dodge cars were already below the present orice of - the great ma jority of commodities and they had not been getting the abnormal prof it that retailers of these commodi ties were getting the last six or seven years. Still they reduced from $195 to $365, bringing the touring car down to the astounding price of $985, f. o. b. Detroit, a few weeks after announcing that the car here after would be equipped all around with oversize cord tires. Dodge Brothers have unlimited resources and when they buy materials they natually get the most advantageous prices." Mr. Davis made an Interesting comment on the subject of house hold economics. "Now and then people who intended to buy a car come to me," he said, "with the story that their wages havj been reduced and they will have to put it off or abandonee idea altogether. "Nowhese people can really af ford to buy a car but have not taken the trouble to figure it out. They have simply failed to readjust their own mode of living in keeping with the general economic readjustment. "Wouldn't the .pleasure and con venience of owning an automobile offset the slight disappointment of not being in a position to attend every social function that comes along and of buying everything that your neighbor buys? I know it would." Frank C. Smith Named Dort Sales Manager Harvey II. Jones, president of the Dort Motor Sales company, recently announced the appointment of Frank C.

Hansen Visits New . Cadillac Factory J. H. Hansen of the J. H. Hansen Cadillac Co., has returned from a week's visit at Detroit, where all Cadillac distributors assembled to greet the new president of the Cadillac factory, Herbert S. Rice, and to inspect the new plant. Mr. Hansen says: "It is hard to describe the vast ness of the new plant. In the past the manufacturing of the Cadillac car has been carried on in 77 dif ferent buildings. Now all operations are confined to the new plant which consists of eight great buildings, covering 48 acres of floor space. "The greatest of the buildings is the manufacturing building, which is 800 feet long by 600 feet wide, with a total floor space of 970,000 square feet. Under the manufactur ing plan, raw material is received at one end cf this building and Cadillac chassis leave the opposite end under their own power. "Conveniently near the manu facturing building is the heat test building, 500 feet by 80 feet, where the metal is treated to assure its strength for the part it will be com pelled to play in Cadillac depend ability." - Princess Mafalda, 18 years old, daughter of King Emmanuel of Italy, applied for a license to drive her own automobile.

U. S. Court Gives Motor Car Makers Full Right to Trade Name for Cars and Accessories. . Injunction granted the Willys Overland company 'aeainst Akron- Overland Tire company in the United States circuit court of ap peals for the Third district, sitting in PhilnrlMnliia tia pQtarttichprl n nrmit - . j ...... - - - - -. i - - nf tnw uhirh ivill ttav a far-rMrtiitKr effect in the future values of auto mobile trade names, according to legal council who have reviewed the decision. Shortly after the Akron-Overland Tire company sought to sell stock in their organization, Willys-Overland company asked an injunction from the United States District court for the district of Delaware. This court granted the injunction which now has been upheld by the court of ap peals. Under this decision Akron Overland is restrained from using the name Overland in their corporate title, on their stock certificates, or in any form in connection with their product. Creates Wrong Impression. The court held "that the use of the world 'Overland' by the defend ant is calculated to lead the public to believe that the goods, stocks and securities of the defendants are the goods, stocks and securities of the complainant." The court also held "that it nec essarily followed that when the de fendant company sought to describe also its ventures by the trade nam 'Overland,' that it was calculated to confuse the public mind and enabled the defendant to draw to itself, and to draw from the plaintiff, the exclu sive trade name and trade good wilt which the plaintiff, by a business course of years, had given to the word 'Overland' in connection with the automobile industry." Important Decision.. Attorneys who have reviewed tha decision state that it will play no small part in further establishing the intrinsic value of trade names and titles in the automobile industry. Moreover, the case may prove the basis for a decision which will clearly establish the right of manufacturers to prevent the use of signs such as "Buick Service" or "Overland Serv ice" by organizations which are not authorized by the manufacturer to give such service. The injunction, moreover, in effect gives to the creator of a trade name in an industry the sole right to use that trade name in connection with any article which is commonly ac cepted as an accessory to the product which originally bore the trade name Chester 11.
