Overland Is Fortified
AGAINST Material Shortage

Those big companies which foresaw
the possible shortage of materials due
to the astonishing demand for motor
cars, and fortified themselves against
that shortage, are congratulating
themselves today on the fact that they
were not caught totally unprepared
to cope with present market condi-
tons.
The WHY'S Overland company, the
greatest producer of medium and
high-priced cars, was perhaps one Of
the least affected of all by this up
heaval in the material market While
tits true that all quantity producers
of motor cars felt the sudden change,
the Toledo concern had taken the
precaution to protect itself in meas
ure against just such an emergency.
Long before prices started to shoot
skyward the Willys-Overland conf
pany had tucked away in its store
rooms and sub-cellars huge quantities
of raw materials. Today it has more
than $30,000,000 worth of parts on
hand, fully so per cent of which was
bought at before war prices.

Cord Tires Win the Big
End of Racing Coin of Year

The official announcement by Chair
man Richard Kennerdell of the con-
test board of American Automobile
association that the 1916 national
automobile championship has been
awarded to Dario Resta gives him a
margin Of 900 points over the num-
Der won by his nearest competitor.
In these days when successful rae
ing depends SO largely upon. the
absence of tire trouble, the absolute
superiority of Cord tires has been
fully demonstrated bv the last years
performances" says w. S. Ruther-
ford, branch manager of the B. F.
Goodrich Rubber company. Not
only were all OF Dario Resta's 400
pos taken on Silvertowns, but Of
the IS combined points won by
drWe.s occupying the next FIVE posi-
tons, 5,S55 of these were scored on
Silvertowns as against the 1880 points
taken by the oar tires combined"

Haynes Factory
HUNS in Efforts
To Meet Demands

Although the Haynes has been
building cars and selling them since
back in the '90s and has always had
a fair-sized factory, some thirty-two
months ago it produced the Haynes
Light Six" whereby car of strik-
ingly graceful lines nosed its way to
the footlights from amidst the chorus
of other high-grade cars. 1t became
a headliner Immediately with the re-
suit that Haynes strides have been of
the seven-league boot variety ever
since.
Despite twenty-four- hour a day
factory schedules, despite multiplied
ton after multiplication of factory
buildings, despite a steady influx OF
new workers, the three and half
years and more since the advent of
the Light Six" have denied the
Haynes people even breathing
spell" says c. J, Corkhill, local dis
trbutor
The present $4,000 square feet of
floor space will soon be increaed to
nearly 100000 square feet, it is
planned The 1917 output will be
three times that of 1916, and 1916 far
overshadowed the year preceding.

AUTO SHOW IN NEED
OF MUCH MORE ROOM
Annex Will Have to Be Built to
Accommodate Displays of
Truck Dealers.
DECORATIONS TO BE NIFTY

Clarke G. Powell one OF whose reg
uar jobs it is to personally manage,
conduct and superintendent the
Omaha automobile show, is the bust
est chap in Omaha these mid-winter
days. Powell is buster than the pro-
verbal bee in the honey suckle vine
and is daily proving Thomas Edison's
contention that man only needs four
hours sleep.
Powell is confronted with some
thing of a serious problem that is
giving him most of his worry. There
isn't enough space in the Auditorium
to accommodate all the dealers who
wish to display their new lines of
motor craft. Fifteen more dealers
have applied for display space this
year than last. And last year the Au-
ditorium was taxed to its capacity,
Powell, however, in company with
the directors of the show association,
has a plan which may mend matters,
The scheme is to use main floor, stage
and basement all for pleasure cars.
Last year the trucks occupied the
DdSCIClt. ySui al cNNi
Fourteenth street will be built for the
trucks. This scheme, it is believed, is
the only solution to the space
problem
George Later, official decorator for
the show, promises to spring some
thing OF surprise i'll the decorations
this year Decorations of past auto
mobile shows have always been
elaborate, but Mr.. Later says they will
all dwindle to nothing in comparison
to this year Considerable more
money is to be spent in "dollng' the
Auditorium up and this gives Mr..
Later confidence in making his asser-
ton that Omaha is in line for sur
prise.
George Green's band has been con-
tracted to provide the music. 1t is
possible quartet or double quartet
> will be engaged to assist the band
musicians
The show, this year will be held
the week of February 26. 1t follows
right in line with the other shows of
the country, so that all manufacturers
will be able to have their full display
of cars here.

GOODYEAR SCHOOL
FOR DEAF MUTES.
Mammoth Rubber Plant Hires
Ashland Martin to Teach
Silent" Workers.
CLASSES STAGE DEBATES

In line with the recent announce
ment to Goodyear Tire and Rubber
company employees that the scope OF
the company's factory schools would
be enlarged and opportunity extended
to every workman to improve his cd
ucation, a new division of the school
has been inaugurated for deaf mutes.
Goodyear thus becomes the first of
the great industrial concerns OF the
country to provide special educational
advantages for these silent workers.
A preliminary canvass shows that
the subjects most interesting to them
are business arithmetic, English and
mechanical drawing Accordingly
these will be the first subjects to be
taught-with others added with the
growth of the school. To direct the
activities of the new undertaking the
company has employed Ashland D,
Martin, himself deaf mute and a
graduate of Gallaudet college.
Expert Workmen.
. About 200 of these silent workers
are now employed at the Goodyear
plant. Their expertness in building
and finishing Goodyear tires and their
general efficiency as workmen bear
evidence that their peculiar affection
need not constitute handicap in the
battle of life
Shut out from many of the amuse.
ments and pleasures that appeal to
their more fortunate brothers, they
show unusual interest in athletics of
all kinds. The development of their
physical powers through general par
ticipation in athletic events, stamps
them as one of the sturdiest groups
of workmen in the entire plant. How
ever. that their interests are not con-
fined exclusively to physical matters,
is shown by the recent organization
of Deaf Mute Literary society The
features of the meetings of this So
ciety are animated but noiseless de-
bates, readings. dialogues, etc.

WHEN YOU BUY LINEN.

As things are now the woman who
has always believed in the wisdom
Of buying nothing but pure linen of
a good quality for her tablecloths
and napkins is reaping the benefit
OF her sensible attitude. Just at
present linen is very expensive. and
now the woman who has on hand
the better quality of table linen is
able to rest on her oars for awhile.
secure in the fact that the linen she
has already bought is still in good
condition, snowy white and un-
frayed.
But the woman who has exercised
little discretion in the matter of lin
en- now realizes her folly, for the
pieces she had on hand are not wear
ing nearly so we'll as those of her
neighbOr who always insisted on
pure linen of good quality.
There are several ways of telling
linen from damask containing more
or less cotton. The fashioned
method of testing it by moistening
il and seeing whether the water
spreads rapidly is not always con-
elusive. Sometimes. the dressing in
the linen makes it hard to tell in
this way. The glycerine test is bet
ter. Drop a little glycerine on the
cloth If it makes the cloth ap-
pear transparent it is linen. but if it
is cotton then the glycerine will not
be absorbed.
Linen tears quite differently from
cotton, but of course il is not always
possible TO tear the linen by way of
testing it. However. it is we'll enough
TO know that when linen damask is
torn the ends of the threads remain

The Housewives Economy Calendar
by Frances MARSHALL

compact and smooth; while the fray
ed ends of cotton spread and curl
up. With an ordinary reading glass
1t will be easy TO see the difference.
Just 10 this compactness of fiber
of linen as compared with cotton is
due the fact that linen table cloths
and napkins are more easily laun-
dered than those of cotton. The
fibers being more compact give up
the dirt better than do those of cot
ton. For this reason table linen of
fine linen retains it's pristine snowy
freshness till il is worn out.
The purest white linen comes
from Ireland. but just at present
Ireland. like the other linen pro-
ducing countries of the world. is not
exporting much. France also sends
us exquisitely white linen; so if the
housewife wishes linen that is beau
tifully white she should ask for that
from France or Ireland.
For practical purposes when one
cannot pay a high price for table
cloths there is nothing better than
linen from Germany. In spite of
the duty on linen il is still less ex-
pensive than linen produced in this
country. Up to the present time
American linen has been inferior.
American climate and physical con-
ditions have heretofore proved in
surmountable barriers against the
satisfactory manufacture of linen.
although recent experiments in
Oregon are showing that that state
at least has disabilities as a fax
producing and linen manufacturing
center In that event Oregon"
stamped on a piece of damask may
mean as much as Pure Irish Linen"
or Made in Germany does now.
