FIVE-TON TRUCK
SPECIFICATIONS
/. ARE IMPRESSIVE

Evidence of the hauling power and
capacity of the modern truck is
brought to ones mind quite forcefully
when confronted with a monster FIVE
ton truck. A picture of such a truck
is not half so impressive as "close
up" survey of the distance from the
ground to the radiator cap.
C. F. Morphew, manager of the
truck department. of the Curd-Adams
Motor company, has recently brought
to Omaha fve-ton DENLY truck and
the various measurements are impress
sive to say the least. ......
This model has wheel base of 170
inches and a loading length of 142
inches. Yet its turning radius is but
26 feet. From the ground to the
radiator cap is fully 6 feet. The
frame is constructed from quarter
inch steel 8 inches wide and 4 inches
deep. The rear springs consist of Is
leaves each three-eighths of an inch
thick. The spring spread is Sc inches.
The rear tires, which are of the dual
type, measure 40x6 The front tire
36x6 single. Both front and rear tires
are of the solid type.

OLDSM0BILE co.
MAKES NEW MARK
FOR 'DRIVE-AWAY'

"Seventy-hve dealers of the Ne
braska Oldsmobile company ergani-
cation are now 'drive-away' converts"
asserts J. R. O'Neil, manager of the
Omaha branch. Each is convinced
that the 'drive-away' is not only a
satisfactory method of transporting
cars, but that it will eliminate the
possibility of serious car shortage"
To the Nebraska Oldsmobile COM
pany belongs credit for making the
biggest driveway" yet staged at
the Oldsmobile factory. Early last
week the Oldsmobile dealers congre-
gated at Omaha and started for the
factory at Lansing, Mich. The total
number, including the wives of sew
eral dealers, was 86.
During the stay at Lansing the en-
tire party was entertained at lunch
con at the Oldsmobile motor works.
Another big "drive-away' is now
being planned for the early part of
June, at which time the Nebraska
organization hopes to make still
better record.

WHAT'SDOING
Lincoln Highway is
Huge Asset to Omaha.
AT AUTO CLUB

The Importance of the Lincoln
Highway to Omaha will never be real
lied until the route is lost to us.
'The Bee Line" a new highway
association, has marked a route from
Missouri Valley, Ia, to Fremont,
Neb., crossing the river via the ferry.
The laying out of this route is pro-
phetic of the future, for when a
bridge will have been built across the
river between these two cities, the
Lincoln Highway association will not
hesitate to follow its constitutional
policy of shortening this transconti-
mental route between the Atlantic and
the Pacihc-and Omaha will lose this
greatest of all national highways
Don't think because Omaha is large
city that we will always have the
highway. Efficiency is what counts
with highway volume.
By the end of 1918 the Lincoln
Highway will he hard surfaced from
New York to Clinton, Ia, with the
exception of probably 90 miles. In the
next two years Iowa will have nearly
three-quarters of its 39l miles either
graveled or other hard surfacing. Can
Omaha afford to lose this highway,
destined to become one of the main
streets of the nation?
The commercial value of millions
and millions of dollars spent in road
work and publicity on this route would
be lost to Omaha.
Omaha and Douglas county can
keep the highway by providing real
roads.
L. B. Johnson and family, Chicago,
are the first long-distance tourists to
stop off at Omaha this season. Mr..
Johnson is bound for Seattle and
Spokane. kilograms received at the
club reports the Lincoln highway
open over the divide, Sherman pass,
but still heavy. Spokane wired that
the National Parks highway is open
and in fair shape to Spokane, but that
mountain passes are still snowbound.
For Omaha! Arrest the jay walker
the same as you arrest the jay driver
and accidents will be reduced to the
minimum. Eighty per cent of the ac-
cidents are due to the carelessness of
the pedestrian. Arrest glaring head
light motorists. They have had over
a year to comply with the law. Let's
pray that the police judges will have
the nerve to give hundred or so
speeders. reckless drivers and driving
neutrality-suspicious. motorists
the limit in fines and thereby set an
example. Farnam street congestion,
due to both curbs lined with parked
cars, can be relieved by parallel-with-
curb parking. The situation at pres
ent is dangerous, slows up traffic and
throws Omaha into the village class.

Muffler Points.

1t is difficult to find a satisfactory
paint for the exhause pipe and muffler,
because of the heat of those parts.
Here is highly recommended mufler
paint; Boiled linseed oil, Is pound;
Japan varnish, is pound; turpentine,

dered oxide of manganese, 3-8 ounce.

well togther, then add in order, stir
ring all the time, the lamp black, the
graphite and the powered mangan-
ese. As the mixture thickens thin it
down with turpentine, until the guam
tity mentioned has been used. This
mixture should be used as soon as it
is mixed, as it dries quickly. Every
time the brush is dipped in, it should
be stirred. 1t is we'll to paint the

IMPORTANCE OF
AUTOMOBILE IS
IN Time SAVING
vitality Needed in World Be-
cause it Enables Owner to
Accomplish More in a ,
Day.

One only needs to watch the in
creasing number of motor cars on
our business streets and residential
thoroughfares, as we'll as in the SUBJ
urban districts, to appreciate the i'm
portant part the automobile is play
ing tn the whole schemeNof our busi-
ness and social life," says Carl Chang
strom, Allen distributor.
Il do not believe that even the man.
ufacturers know what changes they
have brought about in business meth
ods in our entire economic system.
1T is always some time before the
full utility of an important innovation
is realized. For some years after its
invention the telephone was regarded
as more or less of an interesting lux
ury. The part which it is destined
to play in the conduct of business
was not grasped at first. 1t was the
same with the telephone.
All Time Savers.
Every one of the inventions, so
important IN their relation to busi-
ness and their influepce upon it, has
been developed to such a surprising
degree of efficiency for just one rea-
son-because it saves time for the in
dividual-enables him to accomplish
more in day. And that is just why
the automobile is of such vital i'm
portance in the world today. .. .
"The automobile has greatly in
creased the efficiency of all classes of
business men by conserving their time
and thereby enabling them to accom-
plish more in a day. 1t has brought
a mans business headquarters nearer
to his home, enabling him to make
productive many hours formerly lost
in getting from one place to another.
It has freed the owner from depend
ence upon uncertain transportation
methods.
"After new and important ways of
getting greater efficiency out of some
existing device or machine have been
developed gradually, it is hard to un-
derstand why they were not thought
of before. 1t will be so with the
automobile. 1t will become of still
greater Importance in the daily activi-
ties of the world. Indispensable as it
is today, it's uses in saving time, null
tiplying efficiency and increasing pro-
.duction will be immeasurably broad
ened until even the far-sighted busi-
ness man will wonder that its full
utility was not soon realized"

Cole officials are not all discouraged
because of the meager transportation
facilities offered by the railroads these
days. They feel that "it's.an i'll wind
that blows nobody good" and in this
case they have used these conditions
to cheek up on the performance OF
their newest models.
Conditions have made it necessary
for a good many dealers and individ-
ual purchasers of Cole Aero-Eights
to drive their cars through to dis
tant points in some cases. In every
instance the company has followed
up these drive-aways to get report
on the use of gasoline, the accelera-
ton, speed and general action under
every condition encountered by the
great number of these cars which
have been taken overland. Many of
the owners have voluntarily sent in

The average of these many reports
shows that the Aero-Eights have been
negotiating better than IA miles to
the gallon of gasoline. Their power
along the bad stretches and their Won
derful acceleration along the good
roads has been particularly gratify-
ing o the company.
To get an authoritative check on
these statements, ]. ]. Cole started on

Like others who have driven the
