subway and elevated lines, It was as
happy as a child with new found toy.
Never before since the great transit
systems we're established had people
said so many nice things about them as
they did yesterday morning. Every
Manhattanite, Bronxite or Brooklynite
who descended into the Shonts caverns
from Van Cortlandt Park to Atlantic

nance broad and satisfied smile.

conveniencing the passengers as re-
CARDS packages, gloves or wines, if

YankS Are Not in Danger,

San Francisco, Cal.-The Ameri-

gent Of soldiers who arrived here

Casualties among the Americans

they have been used mainly as forces
of occupation in cooperation with
French and British contingents.
The japanese have large forces
in Siberia, and with the Czechs and
so-called loyal Russians are doing
all the fighting" said Willis H.
Lusher, an infantryman from Butte,

from the bolsheviki the American,
French and British troops move up

Sterling Truck Is Built
for ANY Kind of Roads

Adaptability for all lines of work
in any kind OF weather and on any
road is the power of the Sterling
truck, according to H. Becker, 500
South Sixteenth street, distributor
Of the truck for Nebraska and vest
ern Iowa.
Power, dependability, endurance
and economy are insuring qualities
OF the Sterling" Mr., Becker said.
The engine, being of small bore
and long stroke, has tremendous
pulling power at low speed. Deep
mud holes will not keep the Sterling
from delivering the goods"
During the past year, number OF
trucks have been in constant use by
the Omaha Ice and Cold Storage
company. Bauer and Johnson, who
have contracted for two more, and

Now comes the woman automo-
bile driver in multiplied numbers.
Even the crossing cop can say this
without putting a note Of irritation
in his gruff voice. For milady at
the steering wheel is not only COM
petent but confident of her ability
to snake and snail the car through
traffic. The day is past when max
ers of comedy films can cast her as
the heroine of the one-reel riot en-
titleda "She Thought the Accelera-
tor Button Was the Foot Brake"
Women are most important fac
tors in automobile sales than ever,
said Mr.. March, local distributor of
the Oakland Sensible Six "They
are more in evidence at this years
automobile Show than in former
seasons. And they are making their
presence felt and heard at the var
ious booths"
American women learned a lot
about automobiles during the Is
months we were at war. They
piloted Red Cross cars and drove
busy husbands and fathers to and
from offices. Women replaced the
chauffeurs that entered the service
or sought more essential employ
ment.
Upon inspection of the Oakland
Sensible Six, women are going to be
better boosters than ever of the car,
though they have always been i'm
portant factors in influencing pur-
chases. The light weight. sturdy
construction, slightly appearance and
ease Of operation Of the Oakland
are features of distinct appeal to
women. Being more thrifty than
man by nature, she recognizes in
stantly the savings made by this
lightweight car which averages from
l8 to rs miles to the gallon of gaso-
line and gives returns from tires
that range from 5000 to $1,000 miles.

Soldiers to Be Among

A new and bigger demand for mo

ing legions from the fighting front
again take their place in the indus
trial and social life of the nation.
This prophecy is made by Joe Ell
fred, general-1nanager of the Han
son-Tyler Auto company of Omaha,
Scripps-Booth dealer, and it is based
not upon the wonderful exploits of
automotive vehicles in the war zone,
but on the change in habits of the
