and finest show Omaha has even
seen, these points were mentioned
and will be discussed and decided
on at a later meeting
Increase advertising expenditure
by 50 to 100 per cent over that speat
in the past.
Make the show a combined, pas
senger car, truck and tractor show.
Longer Show.
.-- Lengthen the. time of the show
to eight or ten days. Possibly the
time will be divided, devoting per-
haps four days to passenger cars,
and three days each to trucks and
to tractors. In this event the Audi
forum would be large enough be-
cause the passenger cars would all
be moved out before the trucks were
put on display.
Another way suggested to get
room for the greatly enlarged show
of 1919 was mentioned, namely, to
rent as much space in buildings ad-
joining the Auditorium and to build
temporary structure in Fourteenth
street adjoining the Auditorium.
1t was also suggested to have the
Auto show dovetail into the spring
style shows and the Merchants
Market week, so as to bring even
greater crowds to the city and have
greater attractions for them in all
lines of merchandise.
= Changes Suggested.
+ Mr.. Powell made tentative sug-
gestions of changes in the show, re-
arranging it from the ground up"
81 think at this show, dealers
should display less cars, but use the
same or greater space as hereto
fore" he said. "A merchant doesn't
throw all his stock into the show
window, but displays a few articles
in attractive setting. We should
do the same.
1T might be advisable to mix
trucks and pleasure cars. Nearly
every dealer handles both and it
might provide pleasant diversion to
have both standing together.
1T might be a good idea to have
each display partitioned off by a
solid wall from the hext display in
stead of merely by a fence. And
this year a good feature would be
to let each dealer decorate his own
display booth according to- his own
IDEAS"
Conventions Proposed.
Another big departure from past
practice is proposed at the coming
show, namely. to cali conventions of
all the distributors of each and every
car in this territory to meet in Oma-
ha during the Auto show. Speakers
are to be brought here from the fac
tories to talk to the men. Dis
tributors for each car twill hold

this year all automobile show is
needed even more than in any past
year for the reason that the people
need to be awakened out of their
trance" ~
For many months now the gov
eminent has been drilling into the
people that they must buy only the
necessities of life," said Mr.. Powell,
This has been right and proper
We all did it to help win the war.
Now the necessity has passed, but
the habit still remains. The people
need to be educated to begin buving
again. This will be accomplished by
the automobile show. This, the
third greatest industry in the coun-
try is in a position to lead the way
to greater activity in all other lines
of merchandising as we'll"
Date Not Decided.
The date has not been decided on.
1t will be some time in February or
March. There is a difference of
opinion as to the best time to hold
it. Decision on this will await the
fixing of dates by Kansas City and
some other cities; also it will not
be decided until Washington has de-
cided definitely when the next Lib
erty loan drive will take place as it
will not be held while the drive is
going on.
As to ways in which it will be
really made. by all odds the biggest

IA suggestion by John McDer-
mott met with support also. This
is for a big banquet to be given n
Omaha for the dealers in this terri
tory sometime within month. This
is intended to bridge over" the time
between now and the Auto show and
to prepare the dealers for the show
and for the big business that is look
ed for in the spring. Prominent, en-
thusiastic and optimistic speakers
are to be brought here to- address
the dealers.
Advertising Continued.
The matter of advertising was
brought up and Mr.. Powell de-
clared in favor of doing more ad-
vertising in the newspapers than
heretofore, but to spread it out"
over the week preceding and the
week of the show instead OF putting
the bulk of it into special Auto show
editions of the newspapers the Sum-
day before the show. 1t is pro-
posed to spend from 50 to 100 per
cent more on advertising than in
the past.
D.. Lee Huff reported on the
Vigilance committees operations in
stopping auto thefts. The insur-
ance companies, he said, have
threatened to cancel all existing au-
tomobile insurance and refuse to
take any more unless automobile
stealing is checked.
1T may be" he said, that by
spring no one will be able to get
automobile insurance"
He reported that there have been
many arrests and prosecutions and
that at present 20 persons are either
in Jail or out on bond awaiting trial
for automobile thievery.
The association voted $500 toward
the expenses of the committee.

Price Of Franklin Cars
Fixed for Year Now
That War Is Over

Franklin dealers this week feel as
though the burden of war had been
lifted from their business and would
like to celebrate all over again.
Their new prices are termed peace
time prices and are practically guar
anteed for year.
The factory correspondent SIM
ply states they expect no more price
changes for at least year and prob
ably not then.
This would give both dealer and
customer feeling of security in
purchasing and the fact that Frank
lin cars are not made in yearly
models makes ownership as we'll as
leadership a desirable asset.

Don't Forget Your Storage

Don't forget your storage batter,

of the Nebraska Storage Battery
company. IF you use your car
the battery must be full of pep,
otherwise it will freeze. This gen,
orally means ruination.
IF you store your car and pay no
attention to the battery it will grad

evaporate, the plates harden. and
you'll find it either manned for life

DRAFT ACT INEQUALITY.

To correct an unfortunate inequality
in the draft act, all men accepted must
be allotted to the Army, no specific
provision having been made for the
assignment of draftees to the naval

must be adopted to amend this grave
error, and it Is now proposed 10 Till Navy

the general draft as may take application

in a proviso of the Man Power act whereby
all men assigned for draft into the Navy
or its Marine Corps shall from the date
of such detail be subject to naval laws
and regulations.
The Navy personnel is entirely volun-
tary in character both in the Regular
and Reserve divisions, and unless the
change indicated Is ordered, coupled
as it is with the present restriction of
voluntary enlIstments and enrollnents,
no addition for the repair of normal waste
or for the satisfaction of increases in the
number of vessels may be made. As
officially stated by the chief Of Navy
personnel $4,000 recruits will be needed
monthly for the Navy and 1000 for four
months and thereafter a steady flow of
500 for the Marine Corps, and in order
TO satisfy these demands an emergency

How the World War Hits.

How this great world war hits the
people in all parts Of the world, especially
in the United States, and intcrfcrcs
with the orderly procedure Of affairs to
which they had long been accustomed,
is demonstrated day after day. In
dustrial concerns not engaged in war
work are sadly pressed for help; and in
the daily affairs of life the war intrudes,
making things different from what they
were before, and bringing home TO
families and individuals the fact that
war is not and never could be called a
national blessing
The latest interruption in this respect
comes from New York City, and the
incident probably will be duplicated else
where. Mayor Hylan, this week, WAS
Informed that certain contemplated new
school buildings, for which appropriations
have been made, could not be constructed
because the material that would enter
into their construction would be more
imperatively needed for war purposes

PRESS COMMENT.
NO COMFORT FOR PACIFISTS.

Whatever effect the projectors of
the Austrian note thought to have
upon the pacifst and pro-Gcrman ele-
ments in this country will prove dis
appointing The only note Of hope
that came TO these WAS the preposterous
editorial in the New York Times favor
able to the Austrian proposal. Doubt
less many leaped to their feet and claqucd
with trump over the fact that this new
paper which is supposed to have very
strong financial dictation, was indeed n
spokesman for the financial interests
of the nation. If it was so inspired, yet
another striking instance has been
offered of the inability of financial IN
terests to interpret public opinion.
The Times has shown itself once again
out of Joint, rs WIS the case in subtle
and well-planned leadership in the drive
against Secretary Baker and the admins
tration at the time of the Chamberlain
senate investigation. Patriotism must
be impervious to any perverslons that
interests have to propose.
There will he no adverse effect upon
the Liberty Loan from the Austrian note.
1t would be well worth while, however,
to give to the banking institutions that
are linked in common report with
New York Times close observation
to discover whether such institutions
shall afford their fullest support TO the
new bond issue. II Is to be believed
that they will and that the adverse inter
probation by the pacifists of the Times
editorial is built upon no sound foun-
dation. The Liberty Loan will move

and adequate rejection of the Austrian
