TUB BEE: OMAHA. SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 18. 1021. British Motor Expert Praises Nasli Six Car American Machine Extolled With Glowing Description Of Iu Good Point in The Auto-Car. From England, ton schooled in th science of rninuucturt and a nation charactrrized by Hern and im partial judgment ti products cre ated by man and nichiner. comes tribute to the Nih Six, the strength of which lies in itt sincer iiy. Owen John, British authority on motor can, is the spokesman; the Autocar, a llritith motoring journal, it the medium through which he speaks. In the Auguit 20 itiue of the mac aiine Mr. John deals with American made motor cart in general and with the Nash Six in particular. Follow ing a description of the Nash, the 'j writer of the article quotes in price delivered in England and then ex ' claima : "Value for the money, in deed!" To thii he add: "I have f owned and driven many Yankee earl I in my time and I fancy it will take ' a quia pro quo amy on sucn im porn at these before our home i porductt can get on anything like equal terms. After citing the fact that he 'has been driving a Nash Six cylinder car, Mr. John says: , "Standing at rest or sweeping along at 55 miles per hour I cannot i remember a tweeter engine; itspow- er it glorious, its acceleration is ' swift without being violent and its picking up abilities are all that could be desired and nothing could be more elegant than the way in which, foot oft the throttle, the engine comet into use as a brake. It has a starter thin is quiet, its lamps give i plenty of light and do riot rattle, itt tires are big and its springing, when the weight in the car is prop erly distributed, would be hard to ; improve. Fast and quiet as it is ;on tht level, 1 think its best point 'is on hillt Hudson Special Car Wins Pike's Peak Hill Climb and Penrose Trophy Cup I. .i i it aw.. Many Changes Appear in New, Cadillac Cars Radiator Shape Altered, Tires Are Smaller and Many Me chanical Improvements Are Included. The changes in the new Cadillac as compared with the preceding models may be divided into classi ticatiuns relating to appearance, per formance, riding dualities, appoint ments and mechanical refinements, The radiator shape has been changed, the hood is slightly larger, King Rhiley, driving a Hudson!) super-six special, won the I'ike't peak hill climb and the Penrose trophy cup at Colorado Springs on Labor day. Rhiley climbed to the summit in 19 minutes and 16.2 sec onds. This time it much faster than was made last year, but does not equal the record mad by a Hudson special iu 1916, when the summit was reached in IS minutes and 24 sec ends. Several other cars of well known makes competed in this national hill climbing classic.

"I know one young member of the rrofestion," he continued, ''who. despairing of finding employment, is now making women's girdles, which 'ie sella to fashionable dressmakers. Another it designing and manufac- tunng fancy articles In leather. "I believe architectt have been harder hit than members of any other profession by the widespread titrea and unemployment."

Use of tommon horse sense ofttimes is valuable to horses as well as htt nana. A horse belonging to a farmer four miles from here became ill 'with Colic, kicked tha barn door away and appeared at a horse hospital in the city for treatment. Tne veterin arian alter treating the horse remem bered that about a year ago he had treated it for the tame ailment The owner taid had not taken tht horse there during tha intervening rctor, a change of motor generator, a new dram device for the water pump, a smaller rear axle housing, a larger torque arm bearing and new style of grease cup. The new- model Cadillacs are all equipped with smaller tires. The standard size now t is 33x5. This' change in the tire size is responsible in part for the lowering of the cen ter of gravity. .

In a shipyard hire, a ship's painter was occupied in painting the ship's name upon the bow preparatory to the launching. As the whistle blew to knock off work, he promptly laid aside his brushes and made for home. The fol lowing morning, as the workers streamed into the shipyard they saw to their astonishment, in new, bright ly painted colors upon the bowtfie. name Wiihelm 11. - ' Invradiatcly there was great ex citement throughout the yard. The workers were furious and sent a delegation demanding of the ship owners, Wiihelm Ilclmsoth & Co., what they meant by christening a new ship with the name of the former kaiser. The owners, rather puceled, explained that they had no such intention but had named .the ship after the firm's owner. Investi gation then revealed that the whistle had blown at the untimely moment when the painter was about to paint the btyr in the "H" of the name Helmsoth and that the painter's punctual stoppage of Work had left the letter as a II. The Workers were satisfied and agreed to return to their work after the painter completed his interrupted job and the complete name of Wii helm Helmsoth had been clearly painted upon the bow. Pipe and Liquor Exhibits Warn of Devil in Zion City 21 Bottles of "Hootch" to Adorn Walls of Tabernacle Well-Ripened Pipes 1 In "Zoo." Zion City, 111., Sept. 17. An addi tion to the faithful flock of Wilbur Glenn Voliva, overseer of this city, has been made, and with the new convert has come an addition of the tabernacle's "zoo." Zion City's "zoo," wherein are ex. hibited all the horrible devices con ceived by man for his sinful pleas ures, such as well ripened pipes, cigarette stubs, cigarettes, and the l:ke, is located alongside the organ at Shiloh Tabernacle. Now. to the other articles that adorn the walls, are to be added 24 "blue devils." as they havi been termed bv Overseer Voliva. Also, one juicy looking pipe, that rost its repentant owner $6, and another, that "ain't so good," are to take their places. The new convert, when "sworn "in;" brought alortg with him the two pipes and 24 bottles of a well-known relic of the days when headaches were numerous and could be ob tained at reasonable cost. "Them there bottles cost tne $1.70 each, and it s good headache medi cine too," the convert said as he handed over the tell-tale evidence of a life of sin. The pipes and medicine were then passed through the audience for ex animation, a vote on the matter of the smell of the pipe being unani motis that it very favorably com pared with that of the Chicago stock yards, following which, Voliva announced that the bottles would be so placed upon the wall as to spell blue devils, which, the overseer said, would be very appropriate in view of the fact that the bottles con taining the effervescent revivifier of days of the morning after, were of blue glass.

The value of the product hipped has never before been equaled. In number of cars shipped the month of AiiRiiHt has been surpassed only twice m a M-uny period since tne company's inception.

Kpccial significance in attached to the record for AuruM of this year owiiiff to the fact that it marked the end ol a lut eal year for the Kco company. Branches, distributors and dealers are also reporting enormous increase in the volume of business done dur ing the last four weeks. August has been the greatest month in the his tory of the Chicago and New York branches and indications point to the continuation ot activity. The press of business and detail work attending distributor changes and rearrangement of territory would seem to have had a tendency to Slow up business which, instead, was surprisingly accelerated, in other words, that oeriod "between hay and grass" could not ordinarily be expected to show any uniwual in crease in the volume of business. But iust the reverse has happened I In spite of the interruptions and temporary delays due to the renewal of contracts, the getting out ot new models, and the establishing Of new connections, the month of August is third in point of the number of units shipped from the Lansing factory since the company came into existence. Shipments were about eaally di vided between speed wagons and passenger cars. During the month two solid trainload orders for the Reo oMotor Car company's products were received and shipped.

Performance, the Buyer's Guide In design, appointment and finish, Paige 6-66 models challenge the most artistic achievements in motordom. But really fine cars are measured by. performance not by paint or price. Superiority must be revealed mainly in terms of action. Therein lies the significance of the attested records of Paige 6-66 models on track and hill not so much because of the exceptional speed and power these records revealed, as for the stamina they demonstrated. Thid superiority of performance and guarantee of long life have been the principal 'factors in shattering the "price myth." From the standpoint of appearance, performance and sound investment the Paige 6-66 easily determines for the buyer the price he should pay for a truly fine car.
