BALANCE HAS GREAT BEARING 0N C0MF!99!aIT|
 AND ECONOMY IF GAR

"The very much abused word bal ance.' commonly spoken of in connvc- tion with a motor car, is as well un- derstood by every automobile engineer as sunshine is by every farmer" says Mir. Stromberg. local Paige dealer discussing this interesting topic.
 But to the average motor car pur- chaser, it is still. little complicated and technical It is a word taken from language remote from his and he admits that he is not familiar with it except as it applies to scales.
 of course, the term balance as ap- piled to the presentday motor car covers not only the vehicle as whole but each part that enters into its makeup It consists of applying the best engineering ideas and the exper- fence evolved from tests and researches to bring all of these parts into an har- monious assembly that makes the com plete car.
 "In the Paige plant every piston is put on the scales and carefully weigh ed in the same manner as the watch maker weighs the most intricate part of a watch. Each piston must come as near a prescribed weight as a part of a delicate watch on the jeweler's scales, for a difference of a fraction oi an ounce in a piston will cause a peck of trouble. This is not all every pail of pistons that work together on z x-cylinder motor are weighed anC they must be exactly of the samf weight as every other pair in that car to assure perfect balance.
 Every connecting rod goes through the same routine. It, too. is weighed on each end. and accurately tested and checked up for balance. Also every pair of connecting rods that gt into .six-cylinder motor are weighed and checked up.
 Each flywheel is put on balancing machine and checked. This test of tn, | flywheel for balance is of the utmos importance, as it would affect the en tire motor if the flywheel were no accurately balanced.
 In addition to these three import ant clements of the motor there is tn crankshaft to which all of these ar connected. It is tested for runnin balance on a specially built scientifi ' instrument.
 Now that we have weighed an balanced each of these units, they ar assembled. carefully weighed and a checked up again. Thus we have fou units balanced individually and whe

 But all of these precautions make for better balance, throughout the cav and the more nearly perfect a motor car is balanced, the more economica it is in upkeep and operating cost, and the greater is it's ease of motion.
 Moreover, when balance is ths dominant factor in a motor car, it throws out flood of quick power while it's mileages per gallon is reason ably high"

How The "ENO"
 Is Put On

Most of the trouble in rebuilt tires comes from a lack of skill in putting on the tread, resulting in what is called separation" In the first place, the casing to be "whole soled' must be prepared carefully. There must be no Thigh spots" The "whole sole" must fit perfectly. Then the cement must be of high est grade-al the air must be forced from between the "whole sole" and the casing by the "stitching" process. Bearing these things in mind long mileage and great economy can be gained by the use of "Eno'' Whole Soles.

One Fruit Of The Auto Show.

The Omaha Automobile exposition has pro-
duced result which was not considered, yet
which might have been foreseen. 1t is that the
great manufacturing concerns who head the
procession in the automotive industry have de-
termined to make this city headquarters for the
distribution of their product. This is-eompli-
hentary in the highest sense, both to the dis
eliminating business ability that has so crystal
.lized in a comprehensive decision, and to the
city because recognizing its importance as a
market town
Long ago Omaha took an eminent and COM
handing place in the farm implement trade, be-
coming one OF the largest distributing centers
for goods in this line in the world. Millions OF
dollars worth Of farm machinery are handled
through the immense warehouses and other
headquarters plants existing here. Other in
dustries have found it to be OF advantage to
come here for trade, the steady growth Of the
region around this city continually enhancing
the natural opportunities for carrying on ex-
tensive general business enterprises. That the
makers of automobiles should find this true, and
see their own chance is not to be wondered at,
for they are among the really enterprising, for
ward looking men Of the day. ...
Their decision viii add much to the COM
mercial Importance of the city, and will tend to
advance its development as market town. The
show just at its close is not only the most sue
cessful of the series from the standpoint Of the
local trade, but it has brought to Omaha new
distinction which will be of great value to every
body interested here. l#

Cost Plus in Retail Trade.

A New York restaurant keeper, wise beyond
his time and with vision equal to his wisdom,
has opened a vista of enhancing possibility to
both the buyer and seller Of small things. He
has put his restaurant on cost.plus basis. That
is to say, he has found out what the cost of
serving guest, minus the item Of food really is.
To this figure he adds the exact cost Of the food
with his proft, and his patrons are astonished
at the cheapness with which they are served, and
yet he prospers
This is why: He discovered that 1T cost
him 50 cents to have patron sit down and be
waited on. II the check was for less than that
amount, somebody else had to pay for the
other fellows deficit So the initial item on the
bill is SO cents, and the other things are added
on the cost basis. The idea is getting quite a
bit of deserved attention among retailers in the
east, and bids fair to spread
For example, druggist is reported to have
discovered that it costs cents in his store to
wait on a customer. Sales under that figure are
loss to him. This certainly is true in other
lines. Therefore, the dealers argue why may
we not adopt the system. figure our sales on a
unit cost basis, and regulate our prices accord
inglyi +.
1t means revolution in business, but the
cost-plus system has much OF reason to support
1t, and if It works out in one line 1t might rea-
sonably be adapted to another. Buyer and
seller would meet toe to toe, chaffering and
cheapening would become lost arts, and the
"swindle sheet" would go to join the dodo if
system such as this were to be brought into
general service

Culture VS.. Practical Education.

culture VS.. PRACTICAL Education.
Peru. Neb., March ITO the
Editor of The Bee: In q recent
editorial entitled wealth or Ideals
you criticize rather sharply some
speakers at the Chicago session of
superintendent for advocating a
practical education, and you make a
strong plea for true culture. an
understanding OF life in its broad
est and highest sense "the ideals Of
life," etc. No one ought to oppose
the attainment of any of these goals,
but what do you mean by education
leading to cultural and practical
ends?
I venture to say 80 per cent Of
your readers interpret them as clas-
steal and scientific education re-
spectively. If this is your interpre-
tation, / take emphatic issue with
you. Scientifically educated people
are not "money grubbers' or money
grabbers. Call the long roll of IL
lustrious scientists from the begin
ming to the present, Calico, Oar
win, Huxley, Lavoisier, Pasteur, Ar
rhenius. Henry. Agassiz, Nicholson,
Bessey. ETC., etc, ad infinitum, and
surprisingly few of them acquired or
cared for anything beyond decent
living. They were and are seekers
after truth, rather than pelf or pre-
ferment.

ed men and women are not found in

This may seen like hard parable
to the average man, but why should
one who thinks Gods thoughts af-

amassing wealth? Science unlocks
the doors to untold wealth. but the
true scientist does not grab these
opportunities for himself. The
classfcist who is imbued with the
inferior deals and ethics Of the times
and literature he studies is not likely
to be deferred by any such scruples.
These are not mere speculations, for
facts tally with them. Classical ideals

kind from money grubbing, and
never will.

examples of degeneracys through

Champ Clark Explains.

The late speaker Of the house declines pa
tiently to abide the ealumnies Of partisan en-
emies who seek to fasten on him any charge of
actual or constructive disloyalty to the presi-
dent they may make stick. He denounces in
good plain Missouri language the men who have
been spreading the story that he said the
League Of Nations ought to fail; what he did
say was that with ffty-odd senators pledged
not to vote for the existing draft, it had no
chance TO get through, as two-thirds vote of
the senate is required to ratify treaty. This
probably will not abate the yelping at the heels
Of the Missourian, who has been listed for ex-
tinction by little cabal which pretends to
speak in the name of the president, and who
have set about TO dethrone Champ Clark COM
pletely. because his presence in any degree Of
power may possibly embarrass them in their
efforts to secure third term for the president,

successor. The brethren are about as amicable
