Motor Industry Grew to Its
Present Size in 25 Years
One of Principal Motor Car Manufacturing Firms,
Hudson Motor Co., Now Employs 5000 People
and Has Plant Covering 26 Acres.

With more than 100000 automo-
biles officially listed in the United,
States, it is difficult to believe that
as recently as 1898 a "new-fangled
contraption" covered its first mile
without the aid of horse power, al
though greeted with more or less
derision,- or that circus, only few
short years ago, actually exhibited a
horseless vehicle as a curiosity.
. In the few years since that time
the manufacture of automobiles has
become the nations third largest in
dustry, employing nearly million
workers, whose yearly wages
amount to more than $747, 7,0OO, 900.
The total capital invested is esti-
mated at more than 81, ,500,000,O0. :,
"The phenomenal growth of the
industry is graphically illustrated
by the tremendous expansion of the
Hudson Motor Car Co., which is
just observing its 10th anniversary"
said Guy L. Smith today. '"The first
Hudson was built just 10 years ago
in a little two-story plant employ
ing less than 500 men. Although the
company was incorporated in Feb
ruary, 1909, the first car was not
shipped until July of that year.
eToday the Hudson factory COW
ers 26 acres of ground. The num-
Der of its employees has increased
Omaha daily bee., 1919-07-20

steadily, until now there are nearly
5000 persons on its payrolls. The
manufacturing space occupied totals
more than 100000 square feet and
is being enlarged constantly. It is
the largest factory in the world de-
voted exclusively to the production
of fine automobiles.
THE year of its birth the factory
shipped 1,l00 cars, valued at less
than $1,m0,000. This year its vol
ume of production is valued at more
than $56,000,000. The first year the
floor space occupied totaled scarcely
$4,000 square feet. Today you may
walk for more than FIVE miles with
in the plant and never see the same
thing twice. = s4s..
During these 10 years the steady
increase in production, the never sat
isfied demand for Hudson cars has
resulted in the constant enlarge
ment of facilities which now pro-
vide for micrometer accuracy in
every one of the 10000 operations
necessary in building Hudson cars:
Completely equipped chemical and
metallurgical laboratories are main
tanned in the factory to make sure
that only the very highest grade OF
material is used.

manufacturing jewellers reports thai
the labor situation in the jewelry
trade is very acute, Manufacturers
are said to be at their wits end to
keep anywhere within hailing dis
tance Of filling their orders. In fact.
some manufacturers are bidding
against their competitors, hiring
their men away from them at great
ly advanced wages,
Every opportunity is offered ex-
service men, whether disabled or
not, to become liberal wage carn-
ers at as early date as possible,
without reference to apprenticeship
limitations. Men who have lost
either leg or foot can easily be-
come bench hands or stone cutters.
Men whose health has been injured
by gas or otherwise. can find ems
ployment in the jewelry manufac-
turing industry under excellent sani-
tary conditions.
Several reasons are assigned by
members of the jewelry trade for
the present labor shortage. In the
first place, there has been no ap-
premiership system in vogue in the
jewelry business in many years. Sec
ondly, there has been = general de-
pendence upon immigration to sup-
ply labor for the cheaper and
rougher process. Immigration has
been stopped and there is therefore
a decided shortage of skilled jewel
ers and small shortage of unskilled
labor.

Omaha Auto Club
Notes

Special Traffic Cops-The 40 spe-
c;al traffic cops, appointed by Chief
Ebersteih, from among, the club
members, are reporting daily, of the
good work Of educating the public
in a full knowledge of traffic laws.
This move is found to be very help
full to the regular city traffic Off
GERS. All of the special officers
were picked from membership of
the club, with an idea OF securing
sterling business men, who have
bumped up against hardships in life
and will use wisdom and discretion
in their efforts to eliminate traffic
law violations.
Progressive Move Against Thefts
The recent meeting of sheriffs,
chiefs of police, and state officials
from Nebraska and other neighbor-
ing states at Lincoln, was the most
progressive move made yet toward
curbing car stealing. Mr.. Richards.
in charge of the Chieago office and
representing II of the largest under
writing companies of the country,
took particular pains to congratu-
late Nebraska on this step.
"Sheriffs can supply a great deal
of information which they may not
believe important at the time" states
Gus Hyers, who was instrumental in
calling the large meeting. eve in
tend to keep a strict card index of
all information received. If every
citizen of Nebraska who wants to
see the law enforced will take the
time to write us of any suspicious
act of a motoyist, such as garaging a
car in an unused barn, ETC., it will
often give US a valuable clue"
Sheriffs, both in Nebraska and
other states, are advised to get in
touch with Gus Hyers, state capitol,
Lincoln, on this movement.
200 Miles Hard Roads for Ne
braska-A well-informed official of
a highways industry association
stated recently that from reports
he has received and from the en-.
thusiasm noted in his speaking dates
| in the different communities over
the state, that Nebraska will have
close to 200 miles of concrete and
brick roads in two years time. Con-
crete is favored in many eastern
states, half again as much mileage
being laid for the price of brick.
Nebraska Road Building-A glance
lat statistics shows that Nebraska
compares favorably with other
states in building roads. For June.
Iowa submitted projects with esti-
mated cost of $2,4o4,787 Missouri,
$2,40o,571, and Nebraska, $5,07O,24o.

MOST MOTORISTS
DO NOT KNOW HOW
TIRES Are MADE
Fisk Motor Co. Explains to
Consumer the Making and
Advantages Of Cord
Tires.

Too many motorists - even
among those who profess to know
by first name every working part
of their car--the construction of
tires is wholly unknown. This is
particularly true regarding cord
tires. II is not uncommon to find
a full fledged motor bug" who in
sists on having cord tires" because
they ride easier and last longer"
yet he hasn't the slightest concep-
ton of what constitutes the differ
ence between a cord tire and fab
ric.
The Fisk Rubber CD. of Chicopee
Falls, Mass, makers of Fisk cord
tires, are authority for the follow
ing definition of the cord principle.
sThe cord tire is comparatively
new departure in tire manufacture.
It follows upon years of experience
in the making of fabric tires, during
which time careful scientific study
was given to the most trivial detail
of tire construction. The effect of
speeds, loads, traction surfaces,
heat of friction and the composition
of materials all figured into the de-
vclopment of the present day tire.
"Out of all this comes the cord
! principle which is an even greater
step forward than was the invention
of the first pneumatic tire.
"Fisk cord tires are made Up of
layer on layer of parallel diagonal
cords, each layer alternating in di-
rection. But before the carcass is
built up, each layer is treated with
q preparation of gum rubber suffi-
cient in quantity and properly COM
pounded to make a soft pliable cush-
ion of rubber between each layer of
cords when the completed casing is
finally vulcanized.
"In this manner the working parts
those parts that do the real work
of protecting the tube-are built.
The parallel cords, thirty to the
inch, flex and yield as each point of
the circumference bea9s the load.
The cords tighten and slacken as
called upon and prove as elastic and
yield as readily as rubber itself.
This property keeps friction heat
down to the minimum, imparts
longer life to the rubber. to the
cords themselves and to the whole
casing. That is the open secret of
VIII, cord tires yield greater mile
age.
AT the same time this free flex-
ing and yielding means greater rid
irg comfort, because the jar and
shock Of the, road are absorbed in
the tire itself, not transmitted
'11r.,,td through tire to III car springs and
ITS all in the principle, combined,
of course, with correct manufactur-
ing practice. All of these factors
are carefully worked out in the max
ing of the Fisk cord tire to the ex-
tent that niileages about 10000 are
the general rule, with $4,000 and
10000 miles not at all uncommon.

FRESHMEN WIN BAG
RUSH AND RIGHT TO
EXHIBIT NUMERALS

just nine and half minutes after
Coach Mathews signaled the contest
on, the frosh carried the fourth and
winning bag over the goal, thus win
ming the freshman sophomore bag rush
and the right to paint their numerals
on the roof of the grandstand on Sweet
land field Thursday. The entire stu
dent body as well as many townspeo-
pie witnessed the rush. The teams, com
posed of twelve men each, were even
ly matched and fought hard to the last
second of the struggle.
The sophs pushed the first bag over
the goal, when, less than one minute
after the play had begun, Ben Riekli,
president of the sophs and also cap
tain of the bag rush team, broke loose
from the pile up and ran fifty yards
to the goal post with his rs pounds
OF sawdust. Just as Rickh was cross
ing the goal, Albert Ryan became dis
entangled from his opponents and ran
30 yards, scoring the first bag for the
frosh. A minute later Lyman Marsetrs
took the second bag across for the
sophs. He had little more than scored
his point when Earl johnson tore
down the field and across the goal
with the second bag for the class of
1923.
No further scoring was done until
the seventh minute of play. The bags
stood two to two. The teams massed
about the four remaining bags and
made the fight of their lives. In the
seventh minute of play, Roy Skeen
pulled himself and bag ont of the
scramble, and with successful interfer-
ence by two of his team mates took
the third bag over for the frosh. Nine

RIGID ENFORCEMENT
OF CURFEW is BEGUN

Chief of Police Varney Friday reit-
Grated his statement that he will rig
idly enforce the curfew law in Salem
hereafter. He said that any boy or
girl, under the age of IS years old, on
the streets after nine o'elock in the
evening, without proper guardian, are
subject to arrest.
The first offense will be taken up
with the parents of the children, and
following violations will cause the ar
rest of the parents.
This action will be taken to force
the cooperation Of the parents with
the police in stamping out delinquen-
cy and juvenile crime in the city,
which, it is felt, is directly attributive
to violations of the curfew ordinance
which results in the young people Wis
iting questionable places after night.
