How do you know when you're
hungry?" snapped that good lady.
"Why why you feel it," exclaimed
her niece
Exactly! You feel It," said Aunt
Martha significantly.
So after five minutes OF serious con
sideratiou the conscientious Avis
reached for the telephone and called
up Martin Gurland.
"Oh, Mart" She began hurrledly, II

'No.s she said decisively, ut isn't

CONGRESS PATIENCE wABBLY

Senator Lodge says that instead OF
discussing peace the Peace Conference
had been debating academic questions,
not one of which has been essential to
making peace with Germany and end
ing the war
Sen ator Borah says that ''the whole
difficulty lays in the fact that the Pres
ident's demand for open covenants Of
peace openly arrived at had been open
~ ignored. The Senate is totally in the
dark. 1t has been in the dark from the
beginning. In that respect it is in the
same boat with the entire country. Mr..
Wilson's singular obsession for secre-
tiveness, for clustered seclusion, has
apparently taken the form of fixed
delusion that the affairs of the Ameri-
can people have no right to NEEDLE.
They are bis own private business. And
it suits him to conduct his own private
business in absolute secrecy, his only

who is a private citizen with no official

With this attitude the patience of the
Senate, at least, is exhausted. Mr., Will

Omaha Tire Company
Establishes Two
Branches On Coast

A meeting of the advisory board
of the Sprague Tire and Rubber Co.
was held at the factory Thursday
! afternoons. E. H. Sprague, presi-
dent, laid before the board the
plans for the 1920 season. He said
that orders now on hand for the
first 10 weeks in 1920 more than
equalled the total volume for the
first 10 months this year. Indica-
tons are, he said, that Sprague bus
mess for the year 1920 will total
100000.
The factory will swing into pro-
duction of $500 tires and tubes a
day. starting January l. 1t is esti-
mated that the factory will turn out
100000 tires next year. The in
creased demand for Sprague tires
and tubes insures. full production.
Direct branches have been estab-
lished at San Diego, Cal, and San
Francisco this week.
The advisory board and directors
expressed much optimism over the
company's future and all were sat-
ished that within year or two it
will be the middle VESTS biggest
tire concern.

Cadillac General Sales Man.
ager Finds This Section
Shows Greatest Increase
In Cars Sold.

Lynn McNaughton. general sales
manager of the Cadillac Motor Car
company of Detroit, spent day
with J. H. Hansen of the local
Cadillac concern, during the week
on his way to the coast. Mr.. Nc
Naughton expressed great satisfac-
ton over the Cadillac business in
the Omaha territory, and has
promised Mr.. Hansen an increased
allotment for next year due to the
fact that the Omaha territory has
already sold all of its present
years allotment. Several special
cars, however, are now being Sc
cured for immediate delivery.
Mr.. McNaughton announced that
the Cadillac factory is now working
full capacity and turning out from
10 to ITO cars per day. He was very
much pleased at the market in the
middle west, and stated that the
greatest increase in automobile
sales has recently been in the Mis-
souri, valley territory.
E. c. German, district representa-
tive Of the Cadillac factory, also
spent a few days with the local
agency formulating sales plans and
service policies for the coming sea-
son. Both Mr.. German and Mr..
McNaughton expressed satisfaction
when shown the plans for remodel
ing the Cadillac building at Twenty
sixth and Farnam streets, which
will make the service and parts de-
partments more efficient and beau
tify the show room.

Prest-o-Lite Agents
to Meet Here. Two Days
During Coming Week

IF you cant get a storage battery
next spring when you are overhaul-
ing your car you will know that
you are a victim of prosperity" This
information was telegraphed from
F. A. Wilson Lawrenson, vice pres
ident of the Prest-o-Lite company
of Indianapolis.
Mr.. Larenson further states that
there will be a serious shortage Of
storage batteries for 1920 owing to
the enormous production of new
cars for 1920. The only solution, ac-
cording to Mr.. Lawrenson, is the
educating of motorists to better
care of their present batteries.
1t is estimated that 50 per cent
can be added to the life of battery
by proper care. To further advance
and exploit this contention a spe-
cial convention of Prest-o-Lite dis
tributers will meet at the Fontenelle
hotel Monday and Tuesday. 1t is
the plan Of the Prest-o-Lite people
to spend a generous amount of
money through their 5000 service
station to advance the idea of bat
terry conservation.

The testing of motor cars, like

Overland 4, which has just been an
nounced. This test, it is believed,
has established new standards oil
testing and refinement of details to
make car practically perfect me-
chanically before it goes to all
owner.
The history of the development,
building and testing of Overland 4,
which introduces the new three
point spring suspension, covers g
period of years. The car is the prod
uct Of \ decade of progressive en-
cheering achievement toward the
ideal lightweight car; of years
intensive engineering experiment
and two years actual demonstration
and test in all kinds of weather and
all sorts of roads.
Many Miles of Test.
During the two years Of test,
Overland 4 was given 100000 miles
OF actual road demonstration. That's
III times around the world before
single car went on the market.
These tests were of great value to
the engineering and the production
departments of the WHY'S Overland
company and, finally, to the man
who buys the car. A staff of engi-
neers studied the car during those
100000 miles of test to determine
every refinement and improvement
that might be necessary to make the
car when it went on the market free
from service troubles and of assured
economy in operation and perfect
east of riding because of the new
three-point springs.
Over mountain, roads, Overland
4 was pushed to the utmost. Days
were spent in mud, in streams,
twisting through rocky defiles, seal
ing boulder-sprinkled hill and moua-
tainsides. The drivers were amazed
after night with their freedom from
fatigue because of the easy riding
OF the cars due to the wonderful
three-point spring suspension. The
cars were found in perfect mechan-
ical condition after each examina-
ton by the engineer.
Springs Save Car.
The three-point springs had saved
the cars, had given new ease and
comfort to the drivers; the balanced
light construction had conquered

National Sextet Is
Designed to Do Away
With Engine Noise

Noise, the proverbial objection
to engines of the overhead-valve
type, has been successfully and per-
manently eliminated in the improved
high efficiency engine of the new
National Sextet," states ]. c. Hell
bert of the National Car Sales cor
poration, local distributors for Ma
tional cars. -
THE reputation for noise earned
by the valve-in-head design is due to
the fact that the conventional en-
CINE Of this type does not make suf-
flcient provision for lubricating the
overhead valve mechanism" Mr..
Helbert states. Rapid wear ensues,
with resultant lost motion, and in
a short time the proverbial noise
Of the overhead-valve type asserts
itself.
In the National Sextet the valve
mechanism is positively fabricated
under pressure. The rocker arm
shaft is hollow and connected with
the oil circulating system of the en-
CINE so that an ample supply of oil
is pumped directly to the rocker
arm bearings"

An ingenious motorist recently
contrived thermostat by removing
the rubber hose between the top oil
the cylinders and the radiator and
replacing it with a metal one, ems
bodying a shut-off valve of the but
terhy type. such as/are used on car-
bureters. A rod from this valve ex-
tends through the dash, so that the
driver can regulate the amount OF

tenn. In effect this is manually con-
trolled thermostat.

fabrication Hint.

Trouble is often experienced with
overlubrication of the front cylinder
of the Ford car, the oil forcing it's
way past the piston and causing ex-
cessive carbon. This is caused by
the connecting rod of the front cyl
Under dipping too deeply into the oil.
A cure is suggested as follows:
Level up the crankcase by raising
and blocking up the front end of the
motor. This is accomplished by
placing a pad under the crankcase
front frame bearing. If there is a
decided pitch to the erankcase it
may be necessary to use block
that will require longer spring clips.
The alignment Of the motor will not
be affected.

Spring Lubricant.

In lubricating automobile springs
the greatest trouble is found in
keeping the lubricant from being
squeezed out under pressure. A
compound that obviates this is
found in graphite and beeswax
mixed to a paste and spread upon
each leaf. Obviously the spring
must be taken apart to apply this
lubricant.

Appearances.

One of the things necessary to
keep up the appearance of the motor
car is constant touching tip Of such

etc., where black enamel is used.
Scratches and slight chipping off
of the enamel on these is bound
to come and is very unsightly.

Gearset fabrication.

In filing the gearset put in the
lubricant to a depth of about half
the height of the gearbox. That
is, have it come about even with the
center Of the main shaft. This will
submerge the countershaft and bring
the face of the main shaft gears in
to the lubricant. It Is important to
see that the packing rings are tight
to prevent leakage where the drive

and where the shaft from the clutch
