The Essex was put on the speedway
to proveits reliability in afifty hourtest.
At the end of 27 hours So minutes
and in the l79Oth mile, rain and sleet
forced a Stop. A second Start was made
three days later but snow again ended
the trial. This time the run lasted l6
hours rs minutes and covered 1O42
miles. The third run starting the fol-
lowing day was successful, the fifty
hour period being completed.
Thus the proof of Essex endurance
is even greater than that expressed in
SO hour run. Think what that means.
The average Car is driven little more
than 5000 miles in the entire season.
But this stock Essex chassis went more
than a mile minute for $3.50 miles.

Doesn't 1t Settle the
Light Car Question?

Light weight in an automobile has
meant principally moderate price and
perhaps gasoline and tire economy.
There was enough speed and power to
get about but none that gave distinction
on the road Fineness and perform
anCe were not expected.
But the Essex brought fine Car quail
ity to the light car field. Its appearance
gave it immediate distinction. Its per-
formance placed it in a large costly car
class. Only in size, cost and economy
of gasoline, oil and tires was it COM
pared to cars in the moderate price
field.
Is it any wonder that motorists have
praised theEssex as they have? 1t gave
them just what they had wanted. It
was the only way by which they could
keep their motoring costs down and
still have Car that filled their de-
mands in performance, appearance
and endurance.

SO Make Sure You Can
Get an Essex

Every Essex delivered has resulted in
an increased demand. The purchases
grew to more than thirty-fve million
dollars within eleven months. Its TO-
600 owners are adding to the demand
that is rolling up for next spring deliv-
cries. We are already booking them.
There is no possibility that all buyers
can be served. Now is the time when
you should make reservation. This
latest proof will decide thousands who
have waited for just such evidence that
the Essex is as good as people have
said it is.

More Than You Will

of performance would't you be pleased?
How much more trying to every
item of its mechanism were every one
of those high speed miles than any de-
mand you will make.
Almost as astounding as it's endur-
ance was its tire experience. The front
wheel tires went through all three trials
without change. Two rear tires were
replaced because of damage done by
splinters from the board surfaced track.
Application was made last April to
conduct stock reliability tests under the
Association rules. Since then close to
$1,000 cars have been delivered and

Burmese Divorce.

If the Burmese husband and wife
come to the conclusion that they are
not suited for each other their pro-
cedure OF divorce is simple and d.
rect. The wife does not go to her
lawyer, but to the tallow-chandler.
From him she obtains two little
candles. These two she brings
home, and she and her husband sit
down on the floor, placing the can
dies between them. One candle
represents the husband, one the wife.
They are lighted at the same NOM
ent, and the owner of the one which
goes out first leaves the house, TAX
ing only his or her clothes, while
the owner of the more enduring can
die remains also the owner of the
house and all that it contains.

Other houses, following Poiret's
lead, are concentrating on Morocco

the present day are deplored so by
some Parisians, who believe that
good taste will eventually prevail
and are anxious that the rank and

judged by the indiscretions of dress

Omaha Drama League.

A prophet, or message bearer, 10
frequently unrecognized or unap-
preciated in his own country, says
the old proverb in effect. Omaha,
with her western freshness and or
iginality, brings forth the exception
which establishes the rule. It comes
in no less a parsonage than Miss
Kate McHugh. From small, init
mate groups which confer at her
own home, to the splendid audiences
of the Drama League, along the en-
tire gamut of cultural programs in
this city, she is so we'll known as
to be an institution. "Keen-minded,"
Clever" rare sense of humor" are
expressions one hears of her at
every hand.
1t is no wonder, then, that Mrs.
H. H. Baldrige, who speaks for the
Drama League, says, "We are so
glad Miss McHugh is going to read
for US at 4 o'clock next Monday aft
ernoon at the Blackstone hotel. Her
readings will be from Dunsany,
and in the opinion of Drama
League members, will open the way
for a far greater understanding of
the Irish playwright, who is sched-
uled to appear in Omaha November
Is. THE Silk Hat" and "Glittering
Gate" are two of Miss McHugh's
selections. She will include also sew
eral war sketches and extracts from
"The Block of Wonder"
Mrs. Baldrige announces further
that Lady Dunsany has been invited
here with her husband and recep-
ton planned for her in case she
comes. Lady Dunsany has replied
that If she accompanies her hus-
band this fall, Omaha will certainly
be included in her itinerary and the
invitation gladly accented.
