shown at the Omaha automobile
show, it has undergone, vigorous
tests and is ready for manufacture.
1t will be built by the Cleveland
Automobile company, affiliated with
the Chandler Motor Car company.
1t is very probable that the new
Cleveland will be marketed largely
through the present Chandler dis
tributors.
Although the Saxon Motor Car
corporation, in common with the
rest of the automobile manufactur-
ers, has no new models on exhibit
ton at the show, visitors at the ex-
hibit have been particularly attract
ed to the Saxon display this week
BY the innovations to be seen on
the Saxon cars, which are new
Several refinements have been added
to the Saxon which make for COM
fort and riding convenience. These
have been put on without any os-
tentation and without any particular
announcement. Gypsy side curtains
are added to the top and a plate
glass window is in the rear. The
gasoline tank is removed from the
cowl to the rear, with an attachment
of Stewart vacuum feed system.
For the man who wants a car
primarily for his own use, the Odds
mobile Six roadster is the logical
answer. As shown in the Oldsmo-
bile exhibit in the Annex of the
Auditorium, it is light, sturdy,
powerful car to be depended up
on under all circumstances. 1t is
handsome, compact, businesslike,
well-balanced and comfortable car
that insures keen enjoyment. 1t is
economical in the extreme.

DEATHS DAILY
IN PETROGRAD
NUMBER 1900
Human Flesh Is Sold to
Starving Population in
Russia by Chinese
Soldiers.

Washington. March l1.-Chaotic
conditions in Russia, particularly in
Petrograd and Moscow, were de-
scribed in reports received today by
the State department. The depths
to which the country had been
plunged by bolshevik rule was said
by the advices to be indicated in a
report from Moscow saying that
human flesh had been sold to the
famine-strieken population by some
Chinese soldiers who later were ar
rested.
Both Moscow and Petrograd
were reported without fuel of any
kind. The supplies of coal. kero-
sene and gasoline have been ex-
hausted and since wood was nation
allied in September, it has not been
available for private consumption.
Because of lack of fuel, the advices
said the sewage and water systems
of Petrograd might cease operation
at any time. .....
The streets of Petrograd were
described as deserted with the ex-
ception of soldiers and civilians beg
ging for bread. The deaths in the
city, chiefly from typhoid and small
pox, were estimated at 1000 daily.
The Swiss, Danish, Swedish, Dutch
and British embassies were said to
have been looted.
Conditions in Moscow were repre-
scented as better than in Pctrograd
although all industries in the former
city except few military plants
have ceased TO operate. The only
food available is brought to Moscow
by peasants, who sell it at great
prices, sugar bringing 20 rubles
pound, which at the old value of the
ruble would be $40, dog meat sells
at seven and horse flesh at 2l rubles
a pound.
Many of the stores in Moscow
have been closed and those remain
ing open are permitted to sell mer-
chandise and foodstuffs only on the
card system.
Celebration of mass in the church
es has for the most part ceased.
Traction and electric light services
are irregular, electricity being avail
able for lighting purposes only two
hours each day.

MAKE FIT MEN

AS BOY SCOUTS
Supt. BeVeridge Praises Move
ment and Declares 1t

feet on Nation.

Superintendent of Schools J. H..
Bcveridge addressed a meeting of
about $50 scout leaders and masters
at the Creighton law building last
night. The meeting was held under
the auspices of Creighton university
and a cordial opening address was
made by Father +. X. McMcnamy,
who expressed the desire of the uni
versity to cooperate in every way
with the local movement.
Beveridge Praises Movement.
1.-THE boy scout movement is the
greatest ever inaugurated for char
acter building, said Superintendent
of Schools Beveridge, in his address
to the leaders 81 the movement in
Omaha.
"Balfour, and other famous Eu-
ropean statesmen said before we
entered the war that America was
commercialized and materialized,
but did he realize that education was
behind that commercialism and that
education means idealismi" Ameri-
can literature and American history
showed ideals of our forefathers. but
the eyes of the world were on us
when we entered the great war
still believeing that commercialized
America would be of little aid to
the allies. But the war progressed
and in 1918 our boys go down in
history as struggling beside Eng
land, France and Italy in the fight
for ideals.
1T will fall to this generation
even more than those of the past to
keep these ideals in the souls of our
boys who are now growing into
manhood.
Keeping Boys Fit.
Instead of 100000 members of
the organization in America ! hope
that soon every boy may join the
great movement. The first draft
found 100000 men rejected, unfit for
military service on account of physi-
cal defects. One of the first things
in the boy scouts training is the
necessity Of physical fitness and how
to take good care of himself"
]. J. Masters will address meet
ing Of boy scout leaders Thursday
evening, and a course in army sign
Mailing will be given by Austin Ware
OF Creighton university.
