Arrangements were recently made
by the Hanson-Tyler Auto company
OF Fort Dodge, Ia, to take ovet the
Scripps-Booth contract, held by the
w. M. Clement Motor company.
The w. M. Clement Motor company
have given up this contract to devote
their efforts to selling trucks.
The Hanson-Tyler Auto company
has been connected with the auto
mobile business for the past twelve
years and is rated among the largest
automobile organizations in the GEN.
trail west. This company maintains
branches at Sioux City, Ia. Sioux
Falls, S. D., and Webster City, la.
The opening of a branch at Oma-
ha is the natural outcome of an ex-
pansion program in selling Scripps
Booth cars, which they have been
handling for the past year.
1t is the plan of the company to
carry large stock of parts at Oma-
ha in order to meet the needs of
Scripps-Booth owners in Nebraska
and adjacent territory.
Joseph S. Elfred, formerly dis
trict representative of the Chevrolet
Motor company, has been appointed
manager of the Omaha branch of the
Hanson-Tyler Auto company. Elfred
has had a wide automobile exper-
fence and is we'll acquainted in this
territory.

TIRE AGENTS ARE !,
PATRIOTIC AS. TO
- DATES OF BIRTH
Canvass by Big Company
Shows More Agents Born
on Holidays Than on
Other Days.

That Americans have a strong
prediction for being born on holi-
days is indicated by the result of a
QUESTIONABLE conducted by the
United States Tire company, to
learn what day Of the year was the
birthday of the greatest number Of
its tire agents throughout the coun-
try.
A few weeks ago the tire COM
pany wrote to each of its agents,
asking for the date of his birth, and
promising that a handsome "Rayn-
ster"-the best grade of raincoat
made by the United States Rubber
company-would be sent to each
man whose birthday proved to be
the most common in the group.
Quite in keeping with the pa
triotic spirit Of the times, the tire
agents promptly sent in responses,
which gave the post Of honor to the
Fourth of July. Out of total Of
1882 birthdays recorded, 81 men an
nounced that they first saw the light
of day on Independence day.
But the nations birthday is close
ly followed by other holidays in the
estimation of the stork. Washing
toms birthday was second with 81,
and New Years, third, with 81, Sep
TENDER "a was fourth, with 81, al
though it is not a holiday.

Ever since | have been in the

my one hobby to render service that

While in the past we feel we have

have been hampered by lack of space

AUTO INDUSTRY
LEADERSHIP BAN
ON 1919 SHOWS
National Exhibitions Cancelled
as War Move, and Local
Shows Are Urged to
Be Called Off.

Washington, Sept. 2l.-B, M
Baruch, chairman of the War In
dustries board, has announced that
the National Automobile Chamber OF
Commerce has Cancelled the ma.
tional automobile shows Of 1919, to
have been held during January and
February in New York and Chicago
at his request and that of George
N. Peek, commissioner of finished
products.
Going further to meet the views
of the War Industries board, the au-
tomobile industry leaders have
urged promoters of local shows for
automobiles, trucks or accessories, to
abandon all plans for such during
the coming winter.
COOPERATION Reason.
The reason given to the industry
for this action by the Automobile
Chamber of Commerce is a desire
to cooperate with the War Indus
tires board in plans for conservation
OF fuel, labor and transportation.
The question of advisability and
practically of holding these shows,
both national and local, was taken
up with Messrs. Baruch, Peek, Alex
ander Legge and Judge Edwin B,
Parker, of the War Industries board,
by Hugh Chalmers and Alfred
Reeves, of the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce, and Mr..
Peek strongly urged that all such
exhibitions be abandoned for the
winter Mr.. Chalmers presented the
view of the War industries board
to his Chamber of Commerce, and
Mr., Peek has received from Mr.
Reeves, general manager OF the
Chamber, a letter stating that the
directors of the Chamber concurred
unanimously in the opinion of the
board and has adopted the following
resolution:
Resolved. That the promotion of
national automobile shows during
the winter of l9l8-l9, with consc-
quent use of transportation fuel and
labor would, in the opinion OF this
board, be inconsistent with the pa
triotic obligations of the industry
and that, therefore. national shows
be suspended until further action Of
the association.
t"Resolved, That for reasons ex-
pressed in the foregoing resolution,
promoters of local and other shows
be respectfully requested not to hold

Sticking Wheel.

When you are confronted by a
sticking wheel on taper axle and
have no wheel puller at hand, here
is the solution. Run the nut off en-
tirely and then run it on again with
the castellated end toward the wheel,
True the other end of the nut up
flush with the axle. letting the wheel
down onto the ground from the jack.
Now hit the nut three or four smart
taps with hammer and the wheel

Wire Sizes.

Contrary to the seeming ideas OF
many car owners, there is consider
able difference in the properties of
electric light wire. For instance the
resistance of number 10 gauge cop
per wire II feet long is ~ ohms.
That of the same length of number
10 wire is four times as great. The
electric lights on the motor car call
for the number 10 gauge wire; be
sure that no heavier gauge is used.

unusual cases every truck in our
care will be in service every day
in the week.
Another new idea will be our
employment department, which will
acquire the names of men who de-
sire employment in operating mo-
tor trucks. We will train and in
struct these prospective operators
in the operation of autocar and
Mack motor trucks and we will be
able in most cases to supply our
customers with efficient drivers to
enter their employment on de-
mand.
Our parts stock will be greatly
enlarged and autocar and Mack
customers will now be shown
most systematic and complete parts

Dry Cells in Winter.

Owners who have been using five
dry cells for ignition in summer will
find it a good plan to couple on two
more cells for cold weather use, as
the cold subtracts noticeably from
the power of these cells.

autocar owners can be assured that
they will receive prompt service, as
this plan has been studied out and
each detail carefully looked into so
as to give entire satisfaction to all
customers of both concerns. Our
shop, which is one Of the best
equipped in the country, will be re-
tanned and we will carry our usual
complete stock of parts"
