ESSEX is ONLY
new CAR SHOWN
ATGOTHAMSHOW
With the Hudson, It Has the
Most Prominent Position;
Located In Concert
Hall.

The Essex was the feature of the
New York Automobile show, which
opened yesterday. II was the only
car displayed for the FIRST time this
year and it has been distinguished
by being given special stage for
its debut" said Guy l.. Smith.
THE Essex, with the Hudson, &C.
rupies the entire concert hall in
Madison Square Garden, probably
the most conspicuous location in the
entire building. The concert hall
contains more than 5000 square feet
of space, but it is expected that even
the great capacity of this location
will be severely taxed 10 handle the
crowds because of the unusual
amount of interest aroused by the
new car.
"The Essex, which was built to
meet the demand for a lightweight,
high quality car at a moderate price,
IS new car in name only, as it has
been undergoing the most rigid
tests in the hands of its builders for
the last two years, its formal intro
duction to the public having been
delayed when the production facili-
ties Of the factory were placed at
the disposal of the government.
I'm performance the Essex has
provided many surprises, its ease
OF control, comfort and hexibility
being truly remarkable. Although
light in weight TO keep the cost OF
upkeep TO a minimum, it is so stur-
lily constructed as TO be able to
Withstand the hardest usage. II is
built at the Hudson factory in De-
tfoit and was designed by some of
the most notable engineers in Amer
lea"
Guy L. Smith recently returned
from the Chicago Automobile show
very much pleased with the way in
which the visitors enthused over the
Essex. Without any doubt, asserts
Mr.. Smith, the Essex was the most
popular exhibit at the show, and the
demonstrators of the Chicago dis
tributor were kept busy continually
spinning prospects over the Chicago
boulevard.

thoughtful to consider State High-
way Engineer McDonaid's judgment.
What we need is mileage first. In
Illinois they have tried out plan
OF building a narrower strip Of hard
suriacing, banked on the side with
a good dirt road. The hard surfac-
ing is around 10 to II feet, some
times narrower. This gives us a
365-day road. with a good dirt road
at the side. When conditions and
finances warrant, build on. 1t has
been done successfully. A narrow
strip of hard surfacing, / believe, is
the solution for our long mileage
systems in the middle west states"
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1919-02-02

posed some unique plans Tor the
new line. He continues:
"The main objection to the light
er-than-air craft is the danger In
landing. In a way, this resembles
the marine problem which has solved
itself through constant development
from the sailing ship to the modern
steamer. Ships even today have to
seek refuge in protected harbor to
avoid the force Of the storm. In
cases where natural protection are
not available for harbors, artificial
breakwaters. and waterways are con-
structed. 1t is reasonable to believe
that high-walled landing zones could
be located or natural depressions in
the earth could be enlarged to offer
a break-air to permit the air liner
to come down safely.
Again, a modern liner must be
conveyed and warped to dock with
the use of tugs and powerful winch
es. Here 1t is possible to have a
lowering cage that would be con-
tanned in the keel and lowered to
the ground with passengers and mail.
This cage would be large enough to
accommodate two or three passen-
gers and would act as an anchor
that could be secured to permanent
concrete foundations on the ground.
The point of attachment of the
cable on the ship, of course, would
be near the nose so that she would
present the least head resistance to
the wind.
Docking Methods.
IF desired to dock the ship a
larger double cable with graphing
device on same would be drawn up,
ION the return trip of the cage, and
the graphing device attached to a
determined point on the ship so
that it would nose down on a gen
tie angle, when the cables were
drawn down by windlasses on the
ground, the result being that the
liner would be pulled into its hangar
or protecting zone in a direction
parallel with and against the wind.
There would be two windlasses To-
Gated at some distance from each
other so that the ship and each
windlass formed points of a tri-
angle while the cable formed two
sides, the base being the ground.
THE terminals at either end of
the New York Chicago route could
be floating docks secured at one end
so as to swing with the wind to
permit easy housing of the ship.
This is following the plan adopted
by the Germans at Lake Constance
which proved fairly successful"
Finally, Mr.. McElroy says, with
regard to the possibility of a trans
Atlantic air voyage: "When we
have put the New York Chicago
route into successful operation, then
it is time to throw line across the
pond and do real job"

]. S. MAIL TRUCKS
WOULD MAKE BIG
PROFITS DAILY.
Assistant. Postmaster Says
Earnings Would Be $780,
600 Per Month; Wants
Discarded Machines.

Fourth Assistant Postmaster
Blakeslee is enthusiastic over the
future profits seen in postal war
truck routes.
Every pound OF frst-class mail
brings $l.50 That means $1,000 a
ton. There's no other type of mat
ter transported that brings such
freight rates. It is necessary to
carry but Is pounds of hrst-class
mail day to pay expenses of oper-
ating a 2-ton motor truck 100 miles
a day. So, when we carry ton of
mail matter 100 miles per day we
earn $1,000 that day, less operating
expense of $3.50. In a month that
route earns 100000. A route earn
ing $4,000 asmonth may carry very
limited number of pounds. Some Of
our truck routes are handling pro-
duce, eggs, etc, distances of 120
miles. 1t is handled only four times
from producer to consumer, as
against at least ten times when the
stuff goes by rail. That's the rea-
son we save money for the producer
and consumer and earn money our
selves"
Blakeslee is asking the War de-
partment to turn over 10000 war
trucks to the Postal department to
inaugurate 10000 routes.
Winter Road Dragging Important.
Drag the roads during every
thaw," is the advice sent out by the
Iowa Highway commission. No
dragging of the year will give bet
ter returns in good roads than the
winter dragging when the road sur
face is softened by thaw. If the
road surface is allowed to remain
rough the water from remaining
snow melting next spring will stand
in the rough spots and ruts instead
OF flowing away, and we will have
impossible roads for weeks.
Rounding Highway Corners.
Quite a few sections in Nebraska
are rounding the corners on high
ways formerly made dangerous by
banked corners. This is valuable
thought, and the progressive idea of
rounding what would otherwise be
dangerous banked corner is
worthy of emulation by all COM
munities working for good and SAL
roads.
Road idea Worth Considering.
Nebraska is keen for system of
good roads. It will be years be-
fore we have them. Apropos of
this fact, it is interesting and

Easy to Make This
Pine Cough Remedy
Thousands Of families swear by its
prompt results. Inexpensive,
and saves about ".

You know that pine is used in nearly
all prescriptions and remedies for coughs.
The reason is that pine contains several
peculiar elements that have a remark
able effect in soothing and healing the
membranes of the throat and chest.
Pine is famous for this purpose.
Pine cough syrups are combinations Of
pine and syrup. The syrup" part is
usually plain graduated sugar syrup.
To make the best pine cough remedy
that money can buy, put 2l2 ounces Of
Pinex in a pint bottle, and fill up
with homemade sugar syrup. Or you
can use clarified molasses, honey,
or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup.
Either way, YOU make a full pint-more
than you can buy ready-made for three
times the money. II is pure, good and
very pleasant--children take ii eagerly.
You can feel this take hold Of cough
or cold in way that means business.
The cough may be dry, hoarse and tight,
or may be persistentfy loose from the
formation of phlegm. The cause is the
same-infiamed membranes-and this
Pinex and Syrup combination will stop
usually in "a hours or less. Splen-
did, too, for bronchial asthma, hoarse-
ness, or any ordinary throat ailment.

DAMAGED BY MIS-
GUIDED FRIENDSHIP
Disabled Men Made Victims by Well.
Meaning Friends Who Want
to Help Them.

Washington, Feb. l3.-"The most diff.
ficult problem we have to encounter in
re-educating disabled sailors and sol,
diers, said DR.. c. A. Prosser, head of the
federal board for vocational education
which is charged by Congress with this
work, SIS that of the man who has been
given mere job by some patriotic en-
plOyer, and where the disabled man is
not expected TO do anything much be,
yond drawing his salary.
at is a very mistaken sense Of kind
ness and patriotism because it is a posi-
tive detriment and disadvantage TO the
man who accepts. In a comparatively
short time business is going to swing
back to normal conditions and there will
be the age-old competition of men for
jobs with possibly not enough jobs to
90 around. There will be competitions
in various lines of business and manu-
facture. In this competition useless ex-
penses are bound to be Topped off, and
when this comes about the disabled man
who does no one thing well, who has no
skilled trade knowledge, is inevitably
going to suffer. He will probably be the
first to 60, Notwithstanding the fact that
he was injured in his eountry's cause.
1t may sound hard and thankless to
say this, but it is fact.
IF the Jealous friends of these dis
abled men viii in the first instance re-
frain from offering these employments
and induce the men to take the free spe-
cial education offered by government,
the men themselves will be greatly the
gamers. If single men they will be sup
ported at the rate of 500 per month
while undergoing training, and all legit-
innate expenses will be borne by the
government If the man has a family
the amount allotted him for support will
be proportionate to his needs. This
training is given in the shops, indus
tries, trades, technical institutions. col
leges and universities all over the coun-
try. There are over 400 occupations
from which the man to be trained can
make his selection. After he has fin.
ished there will have been found a job
for him; he will be kept there for time
on probation, until lie qualities and is
able to 60 on the pay roll"
A postal card or letter addressed to
the federal board for vocational educa-
ton at Washington will bring all par
ticulars. Each case is handled strictly
on its merits with the idea solely of de-
velopng the best there is in that par
ticular man.

TO TEACH BUSINESS MEN.
How to Develop Foreign Trade Is Pur-
pose of Convention.


New York, Feb. BIO furnish to the
American business men practical infor
nation for the development of the for
eign trade of this country is the an
nounced purpose of the sixth national
foreign trade convention to be held in
Chicago April "a, 25 and 26 by the Ma
tional Foreign Trade council.
James A. Farrell. of this city, chair
man of the council, in calling the con

''Now, as never before, the United
States must rely upon foreign trade to
make certain the full employment of la

disturbance of domestic conditions; to
insure the permanent retention and OPP
Grafton Of our new merchant vessels UNI

is called to arouse American manufac-
turers, farmers, merchants, laborers,
bankers, educators, railway and steam
snip Utu-dll the ldCtOIS OF foreign
trade in all sections of the country-to
the imperative necessity OF promptly
solving the foreign trade problem which
the country faces,
Mr. Farrell pointed out that the pro.
ductive capacity of America has made a
great advance, that "our national fiscal
policy facilitates the introduction of for

and that these facts increase the impor-
lance of expanding Americas foreign
trade. "A great foreign trade is ours,

with energy upon lines of sound policy
A great carrying trade Under our own
