Koran Buys First
Auto Sold at the
Automobile Show

Charles Koran. president Of the Omaha
Trunk factory, was the first to buy an
automobile at the present show. accord
Ing to George Rein.
Mr.. Koran purchased a 1919 Cadillac
through the influence Of a good many Of
hts friends who are owners Of Cadillac
cars. The car was recommended to him
on account Of its high efficiency and
durability Of service.
He was assured by his friends that he
would receive the best Of service from
the Cadillac company Of Omaha, and
knowing the Standardization Of the car
and the reputation of the Cadillac
Motor Car company. Detroit, Mich. he
decided upon a Cadillac car.
According to the specifications which
George F. REIN received from Mr.. Koran,
he IL having his car equipped with nearly
every accessory that can be put on an
automobile in the line Of special equip
ment. His equipment consists Of a rear
sight mirror. demountable rims, extra
tire, trunk rack. electric horn, power air
pump, electric lights by which to change
tires, combination clock and speedometer,

Self-starters are roughly. Of four kinds
the compressed air or burned gas. the
electric. the explosive gas and the me-
chanical or spring. The compressed air
self-starter is exemplified in the Winton
and the Chalmers. The car carries a
reservoir in which part of the burned gas
from the motor is compressed, the com
preston being shut off automatically
when It is sufficiently high. A push
button on the dashboard pushed by the
foot of the driver releases the COM
pressed burned gas to the cylinders and

ARRIVAL OF SELF STARTER
Most Notable Feature of This Years
Automobiles.
PRINCIPAL VARIETIES OF DEVICE
Crank Becomes Useless Appendix on
Some Cars, Entirely Removed
from Up-to-the-Minute
Motors.

The great step Of the 1872 production of
cars has been to bring the motor within
the reach Of a great body OF people who
heretofore in large degree have been
barred from driving because OF lack Of
physical strength to crank the motor. The
crank now becomes a sort Of useless ap-
pendix on most cars and on. some has been
removed altogether. The time of the self
starter has arrived, as witness the mum
Der Of machines so equipped in the gar
den show. The car without some method
of starting from the seat is almost ex-
ceptional. The coming OF the self-start-
ing era means no more backkicks and
broken wrists, and II means that the de-
lights Of driving are open to women, and
10 men who have feared the crank.
Just why the self-starter has come with
such a rush this season Is not altogether
clear-some say it's natural development
and others claim 1t is women's influence.
The women showed that they wanted to
drive cars, without having to carry a
man TO crank the engine or being obliged
TO get out IN the mud TO crank 1t them
selves. and the manufacturers answered
the feminine demand by putting self
starting devices on their machines. The
self-starter is not new. A perfectly ef-
ficient compressed air self-starter was
shown in Madison Square Garden three
or four years ago by a prominent motor
car manufacturer. 1t offered freedom
from the travail Of the crank just as
much as do the self-starters OF today
But men motorists exclaimed oh Bosh,
there's truck enough on a car TO get out
Of order now without adding any more"
and the next season this maker dropped
his self-starter.
The Winton makers led the way in the

runs itself. storing away in the first
few revolutions sufficient compression
to use the next time.
The electric self-starter Is new this
season. Prominent opponents OF this
method are the Cadillac and tho Inter
State. though they employ different
systems. The features OF the electric
self-starter are storage battery and
an electric motor geared TO the mechan-
ism OF tha, gas motor. A switch directs
current from the storage battery TO the
electric motor, which. acting through
gearing, turns over the crankshaft Of
tho gas motor until regular explosions
begin. In the Cadillac the electric motor
Is geared into the flywheeel: in others It
is geared to the half-tIme shaft When
the gas motor Is running II drives the
electric motor until the storage bat
teries are fully charged. With the cleo
trio self-starter go electric head, side.
tail, dash and interior lamps and electric
ignition.
A Common system.
The explosive gas self-starter Is the
most easily attached. Of low cost and
simple In construction. and has been
adopted as equipment by the larger num-
Der OF car manufacturers. These ex-
plosive gas starters derive their energy
from the acetylene gas tank and there are
two principal types. the Disco and the
Presto. Such cars as the Hudson. Stew

turers on one type Of self starter. There
is agreement. however. on this point
that the motoring public has decided to
break its arms and hack no longer over
the crank. Motorists used to be willing
to fuss over their cars and baby them:
now they demand that their cars shall
be ready 20 so At the touch OF a button.

'Fiscal year imports for consumption.
This rapid increase in exports Of auto
mobiles from the United States is in part
due to the rapid development Of the do
nestle industry. in part TO the growing
use Of vehicles of this character through
out the world. In 1908 the exports of au-
tomobiles from France, the United States,
the United Kingdom. Germany and Italy,
the leading manufacturers of automo-
blles, aggregated si5.0Oo.oOO. and In 1910.

manufacturer I'm the United States was
100000; M 1906 ss0ooo.ooo, and in 1909,
t2ts.ooo.00o. That the increased consump-
ton Of automobiles In this country is be-
Ing more and more supplied by machines
Of domestic manufacture may be inferred
from the fact that imports have greatly
decreased during a period In which pro-
daction has grown from 100000 to nearly
s2sooOo.0o. .....-
Francs is the chief source Of automo-
blles imported into the United States. The
imports from that country. however, in
common with those from other countries
are decreasing. OF the sl50O,00O worth
imported In the fiscal year 1906 about &c.
10000 was from France. s3i5.ooo from Ger
many. sSS0Oo from the United Kingdom,
and s2SSOoo from Italy. Last year France
was credited with less than 100000, and
the other countries named with about
10000 each.
Most Of the automobiles exported from
he United States go to British territory.
The value exported to Canada in 1900 was

Hishland's Vote.

Perhaps no election in the hlsto-
ry of Highland was ever more
quietly conducted than that of
Tuesday. Perfect order charac-
terized the voters and not man
was seen to be under the influence
of drink, and no one seemed dis
posed to exercise an influence with
his neighbor to secure his vote for
any candidate. The poel at Monte
rey was heavy one-the total ap-
preaching closely the voting
strength of this precinct-thou
the returns from the county show a
considerable stay-at-home element.
Going upon the presumption that
Roosevelt's support came mainly
from the Republican side, the
political aspect of the county re-
mains about the same.
There is general rejoicing in the
Democratic camp, and the van
auished are taking their medicine
"like men," and good humor pre-
