EXHIBITION OF
OIL P ain TINCS
HERE next week
Collection at Hotel FontenelIe
Will Be Unusually Broad,
Varied and Compre-

BY MRS. LETA MOORE MEYER.

The exhibition of oil paintings
from the Vose collection of Boston,
one of the finest in existence, which
will be shown November 11-l2 in
the Hotel Fontenelle ball room,
under the auspices of the Omaha
Society of Fine Arts, will be I'M
usually broad, varied and compre-
hensive in scope. Both the novice
and the connoisseur can find that
which interests him.
1t is especially appropriate at
present that the pictures are nearly
all American. AS America un-
doubtedly leads the world now in
art, especially in landscape, as in
music, finance and everything else,
Omahans will have a chance to see
some of the best of contemporary
art.
Of the landscapes there will be
the strong, forceful work of Henry
w. Ranger; the subtle, true J.
Francis Murphys; the simple, sim
cere work Of Elliott Daingerfield
the typically American F. Ballard
Williams, and others.
Some Virile Marines.
Paul Dougherty, whose "Spray
and Sunlight the Friends of Art
bought last year and which hangs
in the public library, will have
some virile marines. There will
be an interior by Frank w. Benson
of Boston, the modernized, Amer.
icanized genre painter, and some
thing by the late J.. Alden Weir
who paints figures with insight
and decorative quality.
There is work Of Ralph A. Blake

Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, known to
fame as Americas ace of aces" but
to auto racing fans as eddie Rick"
selected to referee the indianapolis
6O0-mile Liberty sweepstakes, May 81,
inaugurating the postwar revival of
automobile racing In America, is the
automobile industry's war hero, and
also one of the best-known drivers of
race cars that America ever produced.
Since he forswore the speed game to
don an army uniform and succeeded
in knocking 20 Boche planes out of
the sky, he announced that he would
forsake his former love In the field of
autOmOtive sport and permanently
abide with the new, In which he
achieved his greatest honors.
Like Umpire's Job.
Because he has always been noted
for his square dealing, and because he
has the regard and confidence of all
racing drivers, Carl G. Fisher, presi-
dent Of the indianapolis motor speed

chief official of the Liberty event. Be

about as popular job as umpiring a

Captain Rickenbacker's war record
is known to almost all race fans, for
they closely followed his career In the
newspapers during the 1S months that
he was In France with General Per-
shing's warriors.
Captain Rickenbacker was an "ace"
In the racing game, and one Of the
favorites of racing fans, long before
he gained his international fame as an
aviator. In 1916 he led all the drivers
of American cars, and finished third

Pinky was feeling quite warm in the

seems very, very warm az we all
know. Pinky and Clover were two
nice rabbits.
Now Clover had special place to
lie In when the sun was hot and that
special place was ut the side Of her
little home where there was some
shade.
She used to lie there stretched out.
Her eyes would gradually close and
many nap would she take there.

He had n fine little nap there and
soon after he had jumped down he
was dreaming Of castles made OF car

lettuce and Of great courtyards with
clover growing everywhere.
The dreams he had were really ex-

awhile Clover was too warm on top

as though Aitken would lose. when n

with two laps to go, and was one of
the most spectacular In the history Of

Had Many Close Calls.
In spite of his many close calls in
racing and his battles in the air, Cap
tain Rickenbacker has never lost the
smile for which he is famous. The ref

the kicks and complaints of drivers,
team managers, and all the men who
operate the machinery of big event.

Causes, Among Others imperfect
Electrical Connection.

irregular and occasional, 1t Is more
likely to be due to preignition caused

more frequent when the car is running
