II. II. Ballard of Los Angeles. new
president of the National Electric
Light association, says:
I'VE have gone through very
strenuous war period and had many
claims to meet but taking broad
view of things It is plain that our
iountry as a whole is in coed shape
right now. The banking power of
the U. S IS fry greater now thaa
ever in history; factories are operat-
ing at close TO capacity in all lines;
foreign countries are making a tre-
mendous demand upon MS for sup
plies and as soon as the public util-
ity problem is fairly met as It must
be country win be in shape to
go ahead at even greater speed. Our
savings per capita were ais in 1918
as against $50 in 1914, and In addi-
tion 70 this our war savings were 50
per capita,
That is just about equal TO ay-
erage increase in living expenses due
to high prices, and with continu-
ance Of the spirit OF thrift and saw
ing. prices viii gradually come down
as we reduce iuf',Hoa Ia our money,

From the foreword: "The ability

ducts to market over sandy or mud

stock to shipping points with a saw

C. w. Y. Loucks, with the Nc
Keen Motor company since its in

position as secretary and sales
manager last summer to enter n
private military training camp at
Shoreleigh, Lake Champlain, after

Mr.. Loucks spent last week at the
Velie plant, Moline, I'll. He reports
that company approaching a pre-.

Auto Club Suggests
Traffic System for
Benefit Of Children

The constant danger to the school
children of Omaha from automobile
traffic is appreciated by all motorists
and citizens. The average driver is
careful when driving past schools,
but the most careful driver that ever
handled a car cannot fathom the
whims Of child, who is just as like
ly to dart out into the street and
make possible the fatal moment, as
he is to stay on the walk. =
The Omaha Automobile club has
suggested to Superintendent Bever-
ridge, of the public schools, the es-
tablishing of school traffic system,
similar to those in force in Detroit
and Cleveland. In Cleveland traffic
officers are appointed from the older
children, who are stationed at the
end of the block and flag traffic to
slow down. Another traffic officer
conveys the younger pupils across
the street.
The children quickly learn to ap-
preciate safety-first measures, and
danger is reduced to minimum.
So long as children are not guard
ed, streets will be used for play
grounds, accidents will occur, and
some mothers heart made sad.

show will continue through Febru-
airy 8.
Gorgeous decorations depicting
the automobile, industry from its in
fancy were displayed throughout
both buildings. c. ]. Tietzel, in
charge OF decorations, installed a
gold and purple canvas, 800 by 240
feet, covering the entire ceiling of
the coliseum. A large transpar-
ency depicting the goddess OF peace
presenting an automobile to the
world was at one end of the building
and a similar creation at the oppo-
site end, gold and purple, signifying
peace and victory, are the prevailing
colors at the exposition. They are
relieved by shields of associated ma
tons. On the ceiling canvas are
eight sunbursts, of scroll effect, in
termingling with the shields.
Many dealers meetings and con-
ferences will be in progress during
the show, including the annual ses-
sion and banquet of the Motor and
Accessory Manufacturers associ-
alton.
The Great Lakes naval training
station was a liberal contributor to
the exhibition, providing motor
driven craft of many kinds, includ-
ing a large hydro-airplane.

Elmer Rosengren Explains
What Makes Battery Weak

No motor car owner would think
of wondering why his car would
not run if his gasoline tank were
empty, and when you stop to think
Of it, the same principle applies to
storage batteries.
As explained by Elmer Rosen-
gren of the Nebraska Storage Bat
terry Co., the battery is often grow
ing weaker and weaker without the
owner knowing anything about it.
He may be driving his car great
deal at night with his electric light
consuming almost as much current
as is being generated. Perhaps he
is driving short distances and OPP
Grating his starter frequently with
out putting back into the battery
the amount of current he takes out

STATE SYSTEM
OF GOOD ROADS
FOR NEBRASKA
All Possible Power Should Be
Invested in as Few Authori-
ties as Consistent
With Justice.

Nebraska wants, first, a state sys.
TEN Of roads, which will cover main
highways. The demand is first for
network of important routes
which shall serve the greatest num-
Der Of people. Considering the fact
that the demand is a state demand
all possible power should be in
vested in as few authorities as CON
sistent with justice, to execute the
provisions OF the law in the most
economical manner, keeping in mind
that when we build a road from
Norfolk to Columbus that road L
being built for the people i'm the
western part Of the state as well as
Tor the people in the vicinity Of
the road. State roads are built with
the economical benefit of the whole
state in mind. The actual saving in
extra mileage by trucks and cars
per gallon OF gas on roads other
than dirt is just one little fact DEM
onstrating the practical economy of
better roads. In Douglas county we
would save only 100000 a year on
our gas and oil bill in extra mileage.
And that is just one of the savings!
Many people in discussing the
road problem are of the opinion that
good roads advocates demand
nothing but concrete or brick. Well
maintained gravel roads in hundreds
OF sections of the state will answer
admirably the demand for a 365-day
road. But it is wastefui to pave near
large centers of population with any
thing but the very best paving ma
terial. The cost of the highest priced
road today, built near centers Of
population, will come back in saw
ings almost during the time it takes
to build the road.
Ashland to Be Free Bridge.
The county comm ssioners Of
Sarpy county at their next meeting
will pass a4resolution relative to
purchase Of the Ashland bridge, thus
freeing it Of the toll charge.
The new street cars on the Far
nam line are coming in for panning
because of their glaring strength OF
headlight, The club has had three
complaints in the past week from
motorists who narrowly averted ac-
cidents due to binding lights on the
street cars. The city laws and or
dinance committee, under Chairman
Gould Dietz, is taking up this
matter.
City Wheel Tax.
The wheel tax ordinance passed
last year, and effective January /,
1919, provides for the raising of
some 100000 through tax on all
vehicles used on the city streets.
The Auto club, together with other
organizations, last year fought the
original draft of the ordinance be-
cause Of the high basis OF charge.
The present tax base is less than
half the original. Pleasure cars of
five passengers or less pay 81, over
FIVE passengers, 49, With the money
wisely spent in prompt repair of the
streets, we believe every motorist
will agree with US that the absence
Of holes and bumps will save great
deal more than 81 to every individual
car owner.
The Auto club has listed two cars
to ship to California and wants to
hear from third party in order to
fill car.
A large per cent of cases in courts
today are those of automobile acci-

dents. Speeding is the predominant
charge, with absence of lights a
close second. Defendant and plain
tiff usually state that they were
crossing intersections at about five
miles an hour" and yet the impact
of the two cars at this snail pace
sometimes wrecks machine. A
party in a case recently swore on the
stand that he always drove in low
when downtown" He drove a
Ford, too.
The new registration bill, drafted
by E. G. MeGilton, counsel for pub
lie safety committee, provides that
whens ownership of a machine is
transferred, transferer and trans
fierce both sign joint statement on
reverse side of original registration
certificate. 1t is further provided
that the transferer may keep license
plate and seals ten days after appli-
cation for transfer, and that until
transferee has signed his name to re-
assignment certificate the transfer
shall be deemed to be incomplete
and not to be valid or effective for
any purpose.

Committee Agrees to
Tax on Automobiles
and All Accessories

Recently the conference commit
tee of the house and senate disposed
of the excise taxes on motor We
hicles under title TX in the revenue
bill, agreeing tentatively on the fol-
lowing taxes on sales by the manu-
facturer:
Automobiles and motorcycles. per
cent advalorem
Automobile trucks. wagons and trailers
per cent advalorem.
Tires, inner tubes, parts and accessor-
less therefor sold to other than manu-
factufer or producer thereof. per cent
advalorem.
This decision restores, in part, the
taxes on motor trucks, wagons and
trailers, and on tires, parts and ac-
cessories for them which were elm
mated by the senate, but omits trac-

was that these vehicles damaged the

Rescript. Deasy, J.
Action On the case for negligence
brough. by an employee against his
employer. The action is n common
law form alleging the plaintiffs due
care. The defendant requested the
presiding justice TO rule in substance
that the burden was on tie PLAINTIFF
to prove his own due care or. in con-
formity to the Workman's CompeE-
sation Act. 20 allege and prove that
he was one Of more than FIVE work
men employed by the same employ
er by the same employer regularly IN
the same business. The presiding
justice refused to give the instruction
asked and charged the jury that in
this case il is not defence that the
employee was negligent"
In the course OF the trial the plain
tiff twice offered evidence to prove
the number of workmen employed by
the defendant corporation. This evil
dence was on the defendants OBJ
lection excluded upon the ground
stated by the presiding justice and
acquiesced in by the defendants
counsel that the burden was on the
defendant. to prove that it had Ave
or less employees and thus to show
that the Plaintiffs due care was ma
terial. The verdict was for the
plaintiff in the sum Of s24l25o.
The case was brought to the law
court on motion and exceptions.
Held
That the verdict is not against the
evidence and not so clearly excessive
as to justify a new trial. The mo-
ton must therefore be overruled.
That inasmuch as the declaration
does not set forth the number OF
workmen and does contain an allega-
ton of the plaintiffs due care the
burden was on the plaintiff to sup
port such allegation by proof; and
That the instruction requested by
the defendants counsel and refused
was in substance correct, but
Held further
That it is not clearly shown that
the error was prejudicial: and
That even if prejudicial a new trial
should not be granted. The defend
ants counsel complained of lack Of
evidence which at the trial would
have been supplied but for his OBJ
lection. He asked a ruling that tes-
timony which was excluded at his in
stance was material and necessary to
the plaintiffs case. Upon one theory
he secured the exclusion Of testi-
mony by the plaintiff Then upon the
opposite theory he asked the court to
rule in substance that the want of
such testimony was fatal to the
plaintiff case. It is a case Of an
error invited and procured by the de-
fendant and which, as held by num-
erous authorities, cannot be made
the ground for setting aside verdict
for the plaintiff.
Motion overruled. Exceptions over
ruled.
