Latin Americans Fond
Of Loud ColorS On Cars

Latin-Americans 60 in for loud ef-
fects in motor car colors, having no
tondness for the conventional hues
which predominant in the United
States. The motor car companies
have made this interesting discovery.
South Americans, Cubans and Porto
Ricans all appear to prefer bright
colored cars, judging from special orr
ders sent to car factories.
A few days ago certain factory
shipped eight cars to Havana. One

wheels and Victoria top. All the
Others we're finished in somewhat
hsshy colors. One was light red,

Cutup Scribes Get

Clarke Powell, vito insists that
while the show is going on he is
buster than all Irish policeman trying
TO tell an Italian immigrant how to
get to Thirteenth and William streets,
has dispatched diplomatic note Of
warning to a couple of newspaper cut
ups whose main object in life seems
to be to annoy somebody.
The Auditorium is equipped with
large bell which clangs like one on a
FIRE truck hitting a forty-mile clip.
Powell had issued orders that if he
was urgently needed 10 ring the bell
three times. The newspaper scribes
discovered the fact. No sooner said
than done. They rang the bell three
times.
Three seconds later Powell came
galloping up like Dario Resta draw
ing up to the pits to doctor thrown
shoe, He was pumping at the rate
Of 5000 revolutions a minute, evil

Who'll Sell First
Car at Auto ShoW?
III sell the first car at the

Who'll sell the first car at the
auto show7
That's the all-important question
among the motor car dealers and
statesmen. Every dealer wants one
of his cars to be the first sold at
the show and every salesman wants
to make that sale.
- Last year at least seven sales
men claimed the honor. Each one
is still claiming it and refuses to
concede the other point. Only
once did a salesman make a first
sale that escaped dispute. Lee
Huff turned the trick and he did it
so early the first morning that the
sun hadn't come up yet and nobody
except Huff and his buyer knew
the show was on.
This year every salesman on the
row says he'll make the first sale,
SO the disputes promise to be I'm
usually numerous this year.

Over Half of Motor
Car Owners Farmers
In Minnesota State

According to the farmers seventh
annual census OF automobiles regis
tered in Minnesota, the farmers OF
this state owned on November |,
1916, 62,75 cars, This is an increase
OF little more than 10000, or more
than 50 l-3 per cent over the number
owned by farmers on November |,
1915.
The number of cars owned by
farmers is ST. per cent Of the total
number OF all automobiles owned in
the state. The registration figures
give us an actual count Of the num-
Der OF cars owned in the three large
cities in Minnesota minneapolis, St.
Paul and Duluth.
This number is 10000. or one car
for each twenty-five inhabitants of
these three cities. At the same rate
OF ownership, that is, one car for each
twenty-five persons. the inhabitants
OF all the towns in Minnesota, out
side Minneapolis, st. Paul and Du-
luth, own 10000 cars.

First Auto in Omaha Believed
to Have Been Owned by
DR.. Anderson.
POWELL IS FIRST DEALER

WHO owned the first automobile
in Omaha?
Concentrate little, you pioneers
Of Omaha. and try to recall the first
foi those queer. one-lunged mechani-
cal freaks YOU saw chugging about
the streets with great deal OF noise
and rattle, frightening old Dobbin
so that he kicked over the dashboard
and tried to leap over the nearest tall
building, making the curious stand
agapc with mouth wide open and
inspiring such remarks from cynics
and doubling Thomases as "Barnum
was right"
Ownership OF the first automobile
in Omaha is something of mys-
terry, but in 1890 a DIR. Anderson, who
has since died, owned high-wheeled
"horseless carriage" as they were
called then. and it is believed his was
thc first automobile in Omaha 1t
was nothing more than buggy with
a gasoline engine attached. 1t made
more noise than rapid-hre gun, rat
tied hidcously and had maximum
speed OF ten or twelve miles an hour
going down hill. The owner Of this
pioneer vehicle had to avoid upward
grades.
The first automobile that ever was
seen in Omaha was an electric ma
chine exhibited at the Trans-Missis-
sippi exposition in 1893. 1t was
part OF the Montgomery-Ward dis
play and it was big attraction at
the exposition.
Shortly after DR.. Anderson had his

chased machine. Dick Stewart
owned the first car in Council Bluffs,
a steam contraption.

Do The AUTO SHOWS
HELP TO SELL CARS?
Real Influence Pointed Out by
a studebaker Executive
Tells of the Benefits.
SHOWS MOST INTERESTING
BY L. J. oLLIER,
Vice President and Director of Sales.

Vice President and Director OF Sales,
Studebaker Corporation.
1t is fact that ninety-nine out Of
every hundred people are interested
in motor cars-and | firmly believe
that every man who is interested in
an automobile is also interested in
an automobile show.
An automobile show is the most
interesting OF all shows, first, because
II represents the most gigantic COM
binaton of money and brains the
world has ever known, and, second,
because in every walk of life, in every
age and cline, humanity is never so
happy as when ,"all dressed up and
going somewhere The automobile
shows bring this all home to US with
vividness not approached by any
other show.
have been greatly impressed by
The influence Of such exhibitions upon
our business and | make it point
TO attend as many OF these as pos.
siblc. Not only are the sales during
the week phenomenal, but they re-
main above the average for many
weeks after. ...
The More the Merrier.
TO have collection of cars under
one roof for the critical inspection
Of discriminating buyers is what VIC
always welcome. II gives the man
who eontemplaies purchasing the op-
portunity to make comparisons. II
arouses the enthusiasm and makes a
prospective automobile owner out Of
the man who comes merely 10 look
the exhibition over as means OF
passing the time,
This idea OF showing by comparison
the exceptional value OF car strikes
me as being about the most domi.
nant feature OF the automobile show
Here at the show the motor car
prospect has every opportunity to
concentrate and make detailed study
Of the various automobiles on exhibit
ton. There's nothing TO distract the
mind--to change the subject from
motor cars to something else other
than that OF buying the. car. Every
good car manufactured is on the floor
ready for inspection-and there are
numerous stripped GLASSES, cut-out
parts, etc, TO show the interested
observer the particular mechanical
features of this or that make Of car,
Noes can be jotted down as the vari-
GUS cars are inspected and careful
analysis and comparison made before
the prospect leaves the building. In
this way, as in no other, the man who
is in the market for motor car has
the opportunity to satisfy himself
completely that he is receiving the
most dollar for dollar value in the
car he finally selects.
Unless one is frequent visitor to
automobile shows, il is always sur
prising to learn how great is the dis
lance a man will travel when he is
thinking Of bnying new car, He
may not purchase that week, but since
he is one OF those whose buying
makes the Studebaker sales OF the
succeeding weeks above the average,
we rightly attribute the sale to his
show visit.

Hon. About PoWeWs
Cloves This Year.?

Will the twelfth annual Omaha
automobile exposition mark the So
luton Of the mystery OF Clarke
Powell's kid gloves9
Every year when the auto show
starts Manager Powell dons a pair
OF kid gloves and from that mo-
ment until the doors are closed q
week later the most scrupulous OBJ
server has failed to detect Powell
with his hands uncovered. Clarke
has never divulged the reason for
this fad or idiosyncrasy of his and
it has ever been one of the big
mysteries of the show.
Odds on the row are 10 to 3
Powell will repeat his stunt Of
wearing the gloves again this year,

SO much as one slant Of the optics
on the unadorned beauty OF
his digits and IL to ] that nobody
will be able to discover the reason

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKfN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray,
Faded Hair Dark and
Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture was to make it
at home, which is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" You will get a
large bottle of this old time recipe
improved by the addition Of other in
gradients for about so cents. Every
body uses this preparation now, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does
it so naturally and evenly. You
dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time;
by morning the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or two
your hair becomes beautifully dark
and glossy and you look years young
er. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is delightful toilet requisite.
1t is not intended for the cure, miti-
cation or prevention of disease. 6S
