SUPPLY OF CARS INADEQUATE
Dealers Back from Chicago Tell Of
Seasons Promise.
RUN ON MODERATE PRICED CARS
Deman for space mt Big show at
Auditorium February 81 Continues
and Building VIII he ruled
20 OverflOwtnR.

Omaha automobile dealers who went to
Chicago In force last week are more en-
thusiastlo than ever over the prospects
for the season. They all report the same
t~hing-that again it will be "a fight to get
enough cars to supply customers.
The big demand, say these returned
men, wall be for the moderate-prlced car,
and the supply Of these is likely to be
exhausted early in the game. The de-
mand for this class Is unprecedented, for
the car is used In so many ways.
Many families which have high-priced
cars also maintain a moderate-priced car
for knockabout purposes and many com
mercial concerns are buying these cars
for use in a business way. Many OF the
large concerns keep a car standing at the
door OF their place Of business, ready for
a hurried trip to some other part Of town,
or for a quick run to railroad stations or
to entertain visiting customers who may
drop in.
Demand for space at the fifth annual
show at the Auditorium, which opens Feb
ruary 81, still continues and Oman deal
ers who went to Chicago continually wired
back asking the local committee to try
to provide space for this and that which
wished 10 exhibit. Four requests were
received in Omaha the day Clarke G.
Powell of the committee landed in Chi
cago. Several of these have been taken
care of in the basement and it may be
the committee will be forced to place some
Of the exhibits around the balcony.
Hint at Handsome Decorations.
The local committee has little to say
in the matter OF decorations, but promises
some most agreeable surprises when the
doors are thrown open. Last year con-
siderable money was spent in decorations,
some Of which were made so they could
be used again this year. The same plan
of lighting the big building will be car
ried out, which means there will he no
dark spots and that visitors may see all
parts of the cars.
Space has been provided for forty-five
exhibitors, and as some Of these have as
many as five or six different kinds of
oars the building will be rowde With
a double space, which is the most any
dealer may have, It will be impossible to
show more than six cars.
This lack of space at the Auditorium
is forcing the dealers to prepare auxiliary
exhibits in their garages and automobile
row will be made one continuous string
of automobiles. 1t is almost impossible
to count all the dealers on automobile row,
for some new concern is likely to move in
over night and spoil the count, but suffice
1t to say the six blocks between Eighteenth
and Twenty-fourth streets on Farnam are
almost a continuous string OF garages and
salesrooms.
Dealers are holding onto their new cars
and refusing delivery that they may nave
a good supply on hand when the city is
full Of visitors next week.

all other matters are left entirely to state

MANY BOOST FOR UNIFORM LAWS
Arguments I'm Favor of National Reg
istratiOn Automobile Bill.

The arguments in support OF the fedora
registration bill as prepared by Charles
Thaddeus Terry, chairman Of the AMER
lean Automobile association legislative
boardA and which will be discussed in do
tail at the convention sessions this week in
Washington, are, briefly. as follows:
The measure has both simplicity and
clearness to recommend 1t. It does not
violate the police power of any state. The
sole purpose Of the bill is to provide for
registration and Identification of motor
vehicles engaged In interstate travel, SO
as to give to the owner OF, such vehicle
the right of free ingress and egress in the
various states of the nation without fur
Their registration and Identification.
There is nothing in the measure which
exempts any vehicle registered under the
provisions of the act from the general
police regulations of the state laws. The

Cleaning sparkling Plugs.

A clever mechanic, who does a lot OF
testing and who is usually brimful of tips,
states that a good cure for dirty sparkling
plugs is to run the engine for some little
time with the compression taps wide open,
and with as weak a mixture as possible.
This has the virtue of cleansing the points,
however foul they may be--that is. OF
course, provided they are not too dirty to
spark at all II is not quite clear why
there should be any special %scavenging. OF

noted; but, anyway, It is easy enough to
try. and the experiment is not a costly
one.

FREQUENT Cause OF M~isfirinr.

Many autoists ave been troubled with
a 'jumpy" spark and some Of them have
been unable to locate the cause. Several
cases Of faulty ignition have, however,
been rsmedled by the insertion of a return
wire from the timer to the switch. proving
that the use Of the frame as a return Is
detrimental to the successful operation OF
tho ignition system. Where the current
has to pass through bearings or gearing
there Is always a chance Of looseness
causing a break In the circuit or OF grease
acting as insulation, The best way to have
a dependable system is to have a complete
wire circuit, then, all other things con-
sidered as being in order, there is nc
chance Of faulty ignition, unless a wire
breaks.

Little TIP ON privinE.

In o~vertaking or passing vehicles on the
road it is always wise to make sure that
there is a clear passage ahead, and never
cut things so fine that a swerve on the
part of the other man will cause a mishap.

is 1T FOREIGN CRUISE {?
That Is To Blame For Naval Academy
Typh0id-Similar Coincidence y
Years Ago

1t is a question in the minds of
many citizens whether or not the re-
sponsibility for the present numerous
cases of typhoid at the Naval Acad-
emy is not due to the foreign cruise.
Some of the older inhabitants who
remember as far back as the eighties,
recall that in about 1898, when the
ships of the Naval Academy went on
a cruise to foreign waters a similar
thing happened, and it was said at
that time there would be no more
foreign cruises. and there haven't t
been for some years.
After the cruise to foreign ports
three of the midshipmen were said
to have died of typhoid fever, one
of the three being son of General
Joe Wheeler. There were a num-
ber of cases of typhoid among the
Midshipmen after the cruise 10 for
eign ports.
It is a singular coincidence in the
present case that the only Professor
who is at present i'll of typhoid fol-
lowed the cruise of the Midshipmen
and visited every port that they
visited. Physicians declare the germ
of typhoid may exist in the system
for weeks before the fever develops,
and it has been known to be in the
system as long as three months be.
fore the attack
Whatever it be, there is some rea-
son for the existence of typhoid at
the Naval Academy, and some place or
thing, is blamabe. The water at the,
Academy is said to be declared pure
and free from germs after a careful
chemical analysis, also the milk, but
the serving of the milk supply was
cut from the menu at Bancroft Hall
yesterday.

Valuable Dog Killed

"Tige," the valuable thoroughbred
fox terrier owned by the family
of Mr.. w. M. Abbott, was shot and
killed some time after 3 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon and last night
by some unknown person.
The dog was splendid watch dog
and one of the best bred dogs in
town. He was docile and affection
ate, and family pet. He was Ii
censed and wore collar with IL
cense tag No. 48.
The dog was away from home all
night, and was found dead this morn
ing lying in Chestnut alley, opposite
st. Mary's Church on Duke of GIou-
cester street, having been shot
through the mouth and head. The
dog had evidently been Iured to the
place of shooting, or carried there
ana then shot, as Tige never went so
far from home unless following one
of the family. Unless the dog was
shot by an officer of the law, the per-
son who shot him was a law violator
who carried concealed weapons.
The loss of the dog has caused much
regret among the family where he
was great pet and favorite.

Is a man of strong character, a
splendid officer and has the esteem

a brief sketch of Admiral Howard 8
naval career:
Midshipman Thomas Benton How

ANOTHER SECRET GAME
Public Strictly Excluded From Navy Foot.
ball Practice

With the public strictly excluded
the Naval Academy football team de-
voted a short practice period yester-
day afternoon to running through
some of the play with which it is
hoped to bewilder the Army lads
when they meet week from next
Saturday.
ians on Saturday delighted the whole
Navy contingent, and it was partic-
ularly pleasing to those connected
with the team that the victory was
accomplished without giving away
any of the special llays at which the
team has been at work during secret
practice for the last two weeks.
Douglas and Davis are making a
stiff fight to fill left tackle, vacated
by Capt. King on account of illness.
and Cobb and Hamilton both have a
chance at left end. Outside of these
places the team is almost certainty,
barring accident Dalton and Clay
have the first choice for tie halves,
with Cochran and McReavy as valu-
able substitutes, while Sowell at quar-
ter aud Rodes at full have shown
marked improvement and have clear
ly won their places.
The fact that no one has ever cross
ed the Navy goal line has led many
supporters of the Blue and Gold to
believe that the team will be too
strong in defense for the Army De-
spite this fact the Army has played a
pretty consistent game. 1t has to its
credit a victory over Yale and it play
ed Harvard about the hardest game
the Crimson has had this season.
