trial with the automobile company
as sole defendant. When the case
was nonsuited, Brown, the plaintiff
appealed, but the decision just hand
ed down holds that the motor com.
pany can not be held liable for al
legged negligence of West while driv.
ing the car he had borrowed for
the Sunday trip.
The Chevrolet Motor company's
liability was insured with the United
States Casualty company. and liabili-
ty underwriters generally are much
interested in the case, a. it has an
important bearing on automobile
concerns liability risks where DEM
onstrators are employed, Is in the
testimony in the trial court West
claimed that he offered the car for
sale to two or three parties while on
the trip, and that therefore he was
acting as a saleman for the Chew
rolet Motor company, which was in
sured for its legal liability with the
United States Casualty.

Returning Soldiers
DEMANDING Machines

MatNials as we'll as men were
trained to the elastic limit in France.
Up front, in the area of defense,
war crosses and citations testified to
the work of men. Behind in the
quleter areas of S. O. S. machines
did their work just as capably, yet
there were none to cite their praises.
And so, while the legislators at
home were raising the academic
question as to whether the motor
car was luxury or necessity, au-
tomoblles were proving their worth
under the most exacting conditions.
For want of a nail--the battle was
lost was once a good excuse. But
defective spark plug or leaky pis-
ton ring can dare assume no such re-
sponsibility today. Motor cars in
France were given their job and no
extenuatlng circumstances were rec
ognized.
So, instead of crosses and citations

Not Liable for Accidents

San Francisco, Cal, April 49,
Especial. 1.-The California court Of
appeals has handed down . decision
holding: THE liability of an owner

Of its driver depends on the exist
ence of the relation OF principal and
agent between the two. This rela-
ton does not result from the mere
borrowing OF such automobile.
Hence it is uniformly held that the
owner is not responsible for injuries
resulting from the negligence of a

1.-THE music department of the
Omaha Woman's club will close
the series of concerts by local
artists which they have sponsored
this year Monday evening, April 81,
by presenting Henry G. Cox, vio-
linist, assisted by the Woman's
Choral club, OF which he is the d.
rector. This will be held at the Y.
W. c. A. auditorium, as have been
the other numbers of this course.
The department may not be much
richer and the readers may feel that
. great deal of hard work has been
done by them In sponsoring this
course, without much appreciation,
but they may comfort themselves
upon the knowledge that they have
recognized the local talent by giving
it the opportunity of appearing un-
der favorable auspices, thus doing a
share in support Of art in Omaha,
which in itself was q worthy pro-
ject, and also that the concerts have
maintained a high standard and have
furnished much musical and
aesthetic enjoyment to the listeners.
A great many novelties have been
presentedandain usical m
presented on this course which
would not otherwise have come to
= hearing publicly in Omaha. The
only regret is that more concerts
could not have been given and more
talent have been presented. The

The joint recital of Rudolph GAM,
Swiss pianist, and Carolina Lazzari,
contralto, will be given at the Au-
ditorium Tuesday evening, April p.
Seldom, if ever before, have two
artists of such brilliancy appeared
in joint recital before an Omaha
audience. Rudolph CAM is one of
the great pianists OF the day, minus
every trace Of pose and sensation
alism. He has a facility which hides.
endeavor and a spontaniety of ex-
preston that makes one forget the
efforts its attainment has required.
Carolina Lazzari's voice is big,
velvety, luscious toned and ex-
pressive. 1t is one of those pure
contralto voices which, when d.
rected by fine musical intelligence
and we'll controlled temperament, is
ideal for the effective presentation
of song. The program for Tuesday

No One Is Disbanding

Marguerite Mitchell, Of New York. is in
charge of the replacement work in Wash

head Of the War Camp Community Service
suggesting the way in which supervisors Of
the War Camp Community could serve thc
employment service. War Camp Community
Service has the personal touch with the
war workers and can urge the girls to make
applications to the employment service.
Every camp that is closed means that hun
dreds OF war workers will be thrown upon
the labor market, and it is the effort of the
employment service to be ready to absorb
them at once
Ihe navy has more than 10000 Girls en-
ployed at various camps as veowomen
Nothing has been done yet to disband them
but the end of their work is in sight. The
following letter was sent to the Navv De-
partment this week by the women's division
OF the employment service:
ut IS suggested that bulletin be is
sued to the commanding officer OF the va
rIous naval training stations where women
are now employed requesting them to adj

who arc subject to release to register at
the nearest United States Employment Ser

to find them suitable positions"
