FORD AS AN ALL-YEAR CAR
MEETS ALL THE DEMANDS

People used to think that the motor car
was exclusively for use in the warmer
months. and regarded as a fanatic the
man who persisted in running his machine
after the fret snow had made It's appear
ance, or when the mercury dropped to
around the zero mark.
4 few hardy Ford owners. who were
Drawer than the rest, or who needed their
cars more, we're confident that the sturdy
Ford. with its powerful motor. light
weight and ease Of control. would perform
Just ss well on slippery streets. and in
mud or snow. as under moro favorable
conditions They, successfully demon
strated this theory, and now the owner
who lays up his Ford for the winter is
indeed an exception.
Judging from the number OF Fords seen
on the streets this winter. considerably
moro than half the 1900 or more Fords
owned IN Omaha have been used regu-
larry all winter. This. too, without count
ing the large number OF delivery and com
mercial cars, which must necessarily be
in active service every day OF the year
regardless OF weather conditions.
Now with the new Ford sedan and
coupelet, which make winter motoring
really luxurious and altogether delightful,
a large number will undoubtedly take adj
vantage of the all-ycar-'round adapta-
biiity Of the Ford car.

charge of Dean p. F. Walker OF the
mechanical engineering department. and
were visiting places OF technical interest
In and around Chicago. The tour included

SAXON COMPANY BUSY
FILLING SPRING ORDERS

Signs Of activity are to be seen these
days in the automobile factories of De-
troit where all efforts are being made to
fill orders that have poured in for spring

possible delivery.
Tho Saxon company has Just taken over
new plant that gives five times the
space and manufacturing facilities of the
factory formerly occupied. The plant is
being pushed to capacity to keep up with
orders.

M0LlNE-KNlGHT MOTORS
HAVE CLEAN EXTERIOR

One Of the interesting motors produced
IL the guaranteed fifty-hol sepower Moline
Knight. These motors in general are
noted for clean exterior appearance due
10 the fact that valves and operating
mechanism are within the cylinder, In
the motor this cleanliness Of exterior Is
carried further than ordinarily. due 70 the
complete enclosure OF manifolds and the
s,bnergence OF the spark plugs. The en-
xine differs radically in many respects
from former sleeve-valve engines, trace
able 70 the fact that engineers had the
benefit Of eli previous designs and expert
cnce OF ali other engine builders. II is tho
only motor with Thermo-syphon cooling
and the first IN America with cylinders

Men as Well as the
Women Take to the
Electric Car Now

There was a time" says II. II. Hawke
of the Electric Garage company, when
the euectric car was considered Belonging
to the women Of the household. The men
purchased Il with that idea in mind and
followed II by using their gasoline vehicles
and allowing the women 20 enjoy the
electric The women, however. have been
responsible for revolutionizing the In
dustry and impressing the men with the
fact that electric cars are by no means
the women's method Of transportation.
This has all been brought about by
the women who felt they very much pre-
ferred to drive to the theater In the cleo
trio than have the trouble OF awaiting the
chauffeur and the possibilities of q freez-
ing radiator and other cold weather DIFF
flculties. 1t did not take the men long
to realize that there was much merit,
in fact much more than they had thought.
In the electric car. The merit lay in the
fact that It could be left standing without
necessitating attention from anyone until
the trip home was desired This led the
men to using the electric car in days
when there were many stops 10 he made
and the family desired the use of the gas
car. Soon the men found that they could
wend their way through congested traffic
with less inconvenience and greater
rapidity than could the chauffeur with
the gas car. This feeling of satisfaction
and Independence kept growing until to-
day the man who owns motor cars is
most likely 70 suggest the use of the cleo
trio in preference to the gas car, realizing
that its use means lower upkeep cost,
less trouble and incidentally better SER
vice with less inconvenience.
Today the electric car comes IN for
consideration with the male members OF
the family totally different than was true
two years ago. The men realize that the
vehicle they tabooed is the very car that
presents all the transportation seryice
necessary without any of the disagree
able items connected with motor car
ownership"

AUTO SHOWS BENEFICIAL
And Are Worth Expense on 0utlays,
Declares G. ]. Corkhin of
the Haynes.
COMPARISON MEANS MUCH


THE influence OF the annual national
automobile shows is farther reaching
than u commonly believed or even ad-
mitted throughout the industry" stated
G. J. Corkhill Of the Nebraska-FTaynes
Auto Sales company. distributors in this
territory for the Haynes. IN answer 70 the
inquiry OF why the automobile and ac-
cessory manufacturers go to the enor-
nous expense OF exhibiting and support
ing the national shows held in New York
and Chicago each year. Tho individual
dealer is affected as much as is the sin
gle designer and manufacturer. In gem
eral way, the two shows are veritable
clearing house for designers. The shows
have very decided tendency to dictate
the designs for the coming season, and
they are accepted as authoritative even
as are the creations of the Partisan de-
signers Of gowns.
THE comparison Of the various models
on exhibit means much to the far-sighted
engineer. It takes but little study to
grasp the full Importance OF the pre-
vailing undercurrent. The tendency of
the industry is toward Standardization
of parts insofar as actual measurements
are concerned. Even with such standard
ization, there is ample room for individual
designing. as is evidenced in the outward
appearance of motors and bodies.
Since the automobile Is no longer re-
garded as a mere luxury. the business Of
selling an automobile is being reduced
20 a logical basis. Time was when all
cars were sold more or less during
mans enthusiasm Of desire for a car.
Competition is now playing a more
important part in sales and II is far
better for everyone concerned that such
ts the condition. II car must sell upon
competitive basis, II Ia an assured fact
that some careful thought has gone into
the building Of that car. Putting the
sales Of . car upon a strictly competitive
basis with other cars means that much
real engineering Skill must be incorpor-
ated in the car design and construction.
Knowing that competition Of the keen
est sort must be encountered at the ma
tional shows, the exhibitor is going to
exert himself to the utmost In placing
his car before the public eye with the
embodiments Of such features of intrinsic
value, that the car may stand the crit
zeal comparative inspections of scrutiny
ing dealers and intending purchasers
Knowing that he cannot afford to miss
exhibiting at the national shows without
losing prestige and much valuable ma
tional attention, the manufacturer must
appear with his product.
I'm this manner the public is immeas-
urably benefited, and the cause lies en-
tlrely within the friendly competition de-
Neloped by the national shows"

car. manufactured by the Mitchell-Lewis
Motor company Of Racine, Wis Tho

about the equipment selected for the

only selected after careful tests which
satisfied the Mitchell engineers in their

"SoUEEGEE" MAKES A HIT
AS NAME OF DIAMOND TIRE

"Squeegee" has hit the popular fancy
as good name for good tire, accord
ing to H. M. Bacon, sales manager for
Diamond tires, Akron, o. The squeegee
name comes from the construction of the
Diamond nonskid tread says Mr.. Bacon.
This tread is made up Of three continu-
Gus ribs, together with cross-bars, and
its action on a slippery pavement is much
like the action of a window-washer's
squeegee, which clings to any surface so
we'll that it leaves no moisture behind it
IL it is moved. That's the squeegee tread
II clings to all road surfaces and opposes
any skidding movement of the car, either
sideways or forward"

In the meatime Norton revived and
looked about in vain for Florence. He
searched among the crowd of terrified
passengers, the hurt and the I'M
harmed, but she was not to be found
He ran back to the princess and helped
her out of the broken car.
Where is Florence7" she asked
dazedly.
God knows! Here, come over and
sit down by the fence till see if there
is field telegraph
They had already erected one, and
his message went off with batch of
others. This time he was determined
not to trust to chance. The shock
may have brought back Florence's re-
cent mental disorder and she may
have wandered off without knowing
what she was doing. On the other
hand, she may have been carried off.
And against such contingency he
must be fortified. Money! The curse
of God was upon it. it was the trail
of the serpent, spreading poison in its
wake.
By and by the princess was able
to walk; and, supporting her, he led
her to the road, along which they
walked slowly for at least an hour.
They might very well have waited for
the relief train But he could not
stand the thought of inactivity The
princess had her choice of staying be-
hind or going with him. He hated
the woman, but he could not refuse
her aid She had a cut on the side
of her head. and she limped besides.
They stopped at the first farmhouse,
explained what had happened, and the
mistress urged them to enter She,
she had seen no one, and certainly not
a young woman. She must have wan
dered off in another direction. She
ran into the kitchen for a basin and
towel and proceeded to patch the
princess hurts.
She was extremely uneasy. That
she should be under obligation to Nor
ton CALLED her. There was a spark
of conscience left in her soul She
had tried to destroy him, and he had
been kind to her. Was he a fool or
was he deep, playing a game as shrewd
as her own? She could not tell. Where
was Vroon? Had he carried Florence
off?

"Hullo! More folks from the
wreck"
