TRAIN WOMEN FOR
 TICKET AGENTS

Omaha, October Especial )-The e Union Pacific system is starting an experimental class of women in Omaha to train them and give them advance experience in the duties of ticket agents, anticipating the possible ne- cessity of employing women on the system for this work in case of fu- ture heavy drafts among the men for service at the front.
 The first class of women will be small and will be selected in Omaha, in order that they may live at home during the training, and they will be paid small salary while attending this school, at least enough to pay for their car fare and lunches.
 After they h2v. advanced suffi- ciently it is the~s ase to give each one an opportunity spend part of each day in the Union Pacific ticket offices at Omaha, both in the city ticket office and in the depot ticket office, where the working conditions are quite dissimilar.
 Officials say that they have no doubt that by the time these women. are thoroughly trained there will be . demand for their services , There is every expectation that this experiment will prove successful and if so. it is probable that similar schools will be started in other offices on the Union Pacific system.
 However, no further schools or on- portunities for attending this one will be offered until it has. been proven to he successful from every point of view

SOMETHING NEW IS
 BEING SHOWN AT
 R. ). MAXWELL D.
Folding Table for Tonneau or Seven-P Passenger Car
 Attracts Attention

The salesroom of the Ebert D. Max well company. StudebaIier distributors, No. 2301 First avenue, north, offers some thing new under the sun. This consists of a folding lunch table set up in the tonneau of a seven-passenger car.
 It would not be difficult to set a small folding table in the tonneau of any auto mobile so that two or three people might enjoy their lunch en tour, but in this case. by the unique seating arrangement of the Studebaker, five people may sit around table comfortably, just as il they were lunching in their own home. This is made possible by the convertible right hand front seat, and the adjust able and removable left hand front seat, which allows all five occupants to face each other. It takes less than a minute to arrange the Studebaker seats to ac- eommodate collapsible table,. and the numerous Studebaker touring parties have found this feature a valuable asset toward their comfort.
 In these days of the complete lunch kit which are made for automobile touring parties, Studebaker has surely met the manufacturers of these kits half way in providing suitable place for their use,
 Although the foregoing Is practical example of the value Of the Studebaker coHFertlple seats, they were not designed especially to enable touring parties to lunch in their cars. The main object was a pair of individual front seats which might be adjusted in connection with the adjustable clutch and brake pedals in order that driver of any build or stat ure might be thoroughly comfortable in his or her car. In order to do this the extra tonneau seats were problem until they were slowed away underneath the back seat, and in such a way that they are claimed to be the strongest and most comfortable extra seats found on any passenger car today.

purchasers who had never before owned cars.
 And, from the standpoint of the auto mobile dealer, the latter Is the most en- couraging feature of the business It marks general awakening of the public to the utility advantages of the motor vehicle. The vast majority of purchasers nowadays are not buying cars simply because they expect to get pleasure out of them. On the other hand, they are buying them for. economic reasons.
 One man gets 8 car because 1t will prove g big time-saver-give him more working hours each day. Another gets one at the advice of his physician so that he can have an hours recreation each day without disturbing his office routine. And still another buys a ear so that he can eeonomize on living expenses-move out in the suburbs at lower rental and more pleasant surroundings, and so on.
 Tn other words, the motor car has come to be a most essential factor in everyday life, both for the city man and the rural resident. Hence. the demand is greater than ever before"

Euer Growing Demand
 For Motor Cars ShoUn
 By Willys- Overland Co.

Anotifer evidence of the eyer-growing demand for motor cars is evident in an authoritative statement to the effect that in spite of it's huge production. Willys- Overland. Inc. of Toledo, was unable to ship during September all the Overland and Willys- Knight cars which were sold at retail that month.
 With small production, such a sit- nation might have but little signifi- oance,' said Bob Lees, local Willys-O Over land dealer. "But, when one consd CTS that Willys-Overland, Inc, is one of the largest automobile producers in the werld, with production running into thousands of cars each month, one ean- not disrute the fact that there Is 8 tre- menduus call for cars.

huild in view of the fact that the traii1- way had not been paying profit.
 There are a number of miners who live in Leonora and work at Bawlia, however, ana the abandonment of .he tramway made it necessary for some of them to travel back and forth by foot or move to Gawlia. Accordingly, en- teprising citizens of Gawlia purchased an old Garford truck. had the mine people make some wheels for it and blacksmith build a bony and then they leased the tramway line. Today that Garfold machine represents motor ar tramline. It has been named 'The Tank" and furthermore, it is making profit for It's owners.

 Answering his own question, he says: Tn Gawlia and Leonora it is decidedly a necessity"

GARFORD TRUCK IS

Substitutes Very Satisfactorily for a Tramway Car Operating Be-

An unusual tribute to the efficiency of the products of the Garford Motor Truck company of Lima, O., has just been re- ceived at the factory from the town of Leonora, West Australia, where an old Garford machine is substituting, most satisfactorily, it is said. for tram way car.
 The town of Leonora is about five miles from Gawlia, where the Sons of Gawlia mine is located. Formerly, there was tramway operating between these two towns and it was owned by the city council. One night fire destroyed a major portion of the plant with the re- suit that the tramway could not be operated unless the plant was rebuilt. It was felt by the city council, however, that the city could not afford to re-

FALSE ECONOMY IS
 D|STURbIHG MOTOR
 GAR INDUSTRY NOW
Local Detroit Motor Car Company Head Believes Automobile Is Uni-
 yersal Utility

The war has centered attention on the automobile for two different reasons and from two totally different angles comments l.. H. Pennington, president of the Detroit Motor Car company. Military men, and laymen to some ex- | tent, if they have followed the great con- flict closely, have observed what vital . part the motorized vehicle is playing in the struggle abroad The motor car has been given credit and this fact, although { not completely realized and appreciated, is no longer news.
 But since we have had to consider finances in relation to the war and ways and means for raising or saving money certain people have turned the spotlight on the motor car from different angle -a false angle. Lacking information or superficial in their reasoning. they have questioned the motor car as commodity necessary for our daily affairs at this time.
 These false reasoners have even sug- gested that the automobile Is a luxury and can be spared: that it would be well { for the country at this time if its manu- fracture were curtailed and the money in- volved ip making it, buying it and oper- ating it were turned into more useful channels.
 Such peculiar reasoning shows how little these false economists under stand the place the automobile now oc- cupies. It was from the very first a utility and as great necessity as the telephone. The fact that 63 per cent of all cars manufactured go to farms throws some light on the matter, for if the automobile were a pleasure car the farmers would not be taking such a huge proportion of the output.
 Overlook for the moment what the industry means in the way of invested capital and the employment of labor and just consider how your own friends use their cars I venture to say you will discover that almost every man you know who drives car uses it about nine-tenths of the time for business or utilitarian purposes
 The salesman, the contractor, the builder, the plumber, the doctor the col lector and men in a thousand and ono occupations use their cars for business for errands and utilitarian purposes while the banker. if you told him his car was merely a luxury would reply that it carries him back and forth from business, is used for shopping by his family and runs ali the household err randS.
 Statistics are not needed to prove the utility of the motor car Just a little straight thinking shows up the fallacy of the argument that the industry could be spared or curtailed at this time. On the contrary, to force 1t to put on arti- ficial brakes would be dealing stasger- ing blew to the country that would shake 1t to it's very foundations"

For want of iron you may be an old man at thirty, dull of intellect poor in memory, nervous, irritable and all run down." while at 50 or 60, with plenty of iron in your blood, you may still be young in feeling< full of life, your whole being trimming over with energy and vital force.
 As proof of this, take the case of Dr. James Louis Beyea, who for fifteen years was Adjunct Professor Tn the New York Homeopathic Medical College. At nearly 80 years of age, Dr. Beyea was very much weakened and rundown, He made up his mind to renew his vital energy and fill his veins with more youthful vim and vigor. He therefore prescribed Nuxated Iron for himself and took 1t. A short course of it made him feel like new man.
