started in a small way three years
ago but it was not until last fall
that the actual work of building
trucks and automobiles was well
under way. About that time the
company was reorganized and Mr..
Christopher, formerly one Of the
leading farm and ranch owners OF
the western part of the state elected
president and treasurer. As soon as
he took charge of the property, he
commenced to push out tor BUSH
ness. Through his efforts the pres
ent factory, l00x350 feet, was erect
ed on a tract of four acres of
ground. This building is one story
high, of brick, steel and cement con-
struction and equipped with the lat
est and best machinery for truck
and automobile construction.
Not An Assembling Plant.
The Douglas Motors corporation
property is not an assembling plant,
such as are scattered over the coun-
try and designated as automobile
factories. Instead, it is real truck
and automobile manufacturing
plant. 1t builds its machines from
the ground up, giving steady en-
ployment to more than 100 men,
nearly all skilled mechanics. 1t has
its own foundry, its own wheel de-
partment, its own radiator manufac-
turing department and manufac-
lures all radiators put onto it's trucks
and pleasure cars.
While the Douglas Motors corpo-
ration is working up to the capacity
of the plant. it is one concern that is
unable to keep up with its orders.
Right at this time it has orders from
New York for 1000 pleasure cars
and trucks, orders for 200 from Sc
attic and orders for 500 from St.
Louis, to say nothing of the scores
of smaller orders coming in from
points nearer to Omaha.
Ships Cars Abroad.
Within the last six months the
Douglas Motors corporation has
shipped trucks to Japan, China and
to Java. Others have been sent to
South America and still others to
Europe. Everywhere that they
have been tried out they have given
satisfaction and as a result, the SELL
ing territory has been extended a.
home and abroad until the plant is
swamped with orders that it is I'M
able to fill until its output capacity
is enlarged.
President Christopher points with
pride to the fact that the Douglas
Motors corporation has no credit
ors, does not owe man, woman.
or child a dollar and on top of
all this, has money in the bank.
Stockholders in the Douglas Mot
ors corporation are reported to be
we'll satisfied with the business be
ing done by the plant at the present
time but it is said that they are not
enirely pleased with inactivity that
has been displayed by Omaha cap.
italists and business men. 1t is said
that of the $l.000,000 capital stock,
Omaha has taken but little.

Motor Trucks Would Help
TRANSFORMATION Problem

According to Frank A. Wander
lip before the senate foreign rela-
tons committee, the breakdown of
transportation is one of the most
serious difficulties in Europe" says
j. M. Upper of the Jones-Opper
company.
"Mr. Vanderlip gives as the cause
for this unusual situation the fact
that the locomotives of Europe were
worn out before their time owing to
the pressure of war transportation,
when repairs and requirements were
not made as in normal times.
ITO start European industries the
railroads must be supplied with roll
ing stock, engines and cars and the
United States is in the best position
to furnish equipment at the best
price and shortest delivery time.
1T is my opinion that American
business concerns should immedi-

Cars for Export Are
Cause Of Shortage in
Deliveries at Home

Some who are chaiing at the de-
lay in securing cars are at a loss
to understand why the factories
should be so behind in their orders.
The reasons are several and good
ones. To begin with the demand
has greatly increased, as many peo-
pie from patriotic and other mo-
tives withheld their buying of new
cars while the war was in progress.
The factories were down to very
low rate of production toward the
end of 1918 and it took little time
to get back into the swing after the
restrictions on production were re-
moved
Even the plants that are back to
a peace time basis find difficulty
in securing material and parts. Not
the least of the factors aggravating
the present situation is the urgency
for the makers to take advantage
of the present psychological mo-
ment to extend foreign business
even at the risk of sacrificing some
business in the home market
A New York dealer who recently
made trip to the factory found his
explanation of the difficulty in OBJ
tanning cars as he passed through
the shipping department and saw
the number of cars marked for ex-
port. Even the prohibitions that
have existed against the expectation
of automobiles to England and
France have not prevented an in
crease of expectation of automo-
biles to the Far East, and South
American markets have been de-
veloping in the meantime.
Striking instances are the exports
to the Philippine Islands which for
the four months ended April 80 this
year exceeded the whole exporta-
ton of automobiles for the Islands
in 1918 in value and the number for
that period was two-thrds of the
total number exported in 1918. To
Japan for the four months mention
ed in 1919, the automobiles export
ed were considerably in excess Of
the total number for 1918. The
number to Java for the first four
months of 1919 was about the same
as for the whole preceding year,

Cole Aero Fights Fitted
With Brake AdjuSters

In line with its policy of incor-
porating in the Cole Aero-Eight
every possible convenience and
economy, the Cole Motor Car Co.
is equipping all of its present mod
els with an automatic brake adjuster
which makes annoying adjustment
of the service brake unnecessary.
1t is an exclusive Cole feature that
automatically takes up the wear on
the service brake bands.
Every time the service brake is
used there is a certain amount Of
wear on the brake band. In order
to properly apply the brakes on a
car ordinarily it is necessary each
time to force the brake pedal down
little farther This wear takes
place gradually, but none the less
certainly. The day oftentimes ar
rives when the motorist is unable
to stop the car quickly with the
service brake alone and must resort
to the emergency.

he said.
The car is the same moderate
size and weight type formerly built,
but having stated that feature all
similarity with past models ceases
though the makers have undoubtedly
incorporated into this new model
many basic items OF design found
successful in past models"

The Best Water.

Not all car owners know that pure
rain water is the best that can be
used in the cooling system. This
is because it is free from mineral
substances, which are present in or
binary water and which are deposit
ed on the metal walls of the radiator
piping, jackets, etc, to their detri-
ment. When rain water is available.

To Straighten Front Axle.

A method of Strengthening front
axle that has been bent in a yer
teal plane is to take two lengths Of
four-by-four inch joist, long enough
to reach from the upper sidc OF the
axle, just outside of each spring
plate, to a cross timber of the cell
ing or roof of the garage. Then
if the jack is placed beneath the
axle at the bend, enough pressure
may be applied by means of it to
force the axle back into shape.

Astrology reads this as an unlm-
portant day in planetary direction, but
the sway is really favorable. Uranus,
the sun and Neptune are all In benefic
aspect.
During this CONFORMATION the influ-
ences tend TO an adjustment of the pub
lie mind to changed conditions.
1t should be favorable for the implan-
tation of progressive ideas concerning
religious duty and economic policies.
Preachers and teachers should benefit
from this rule of the stars, which makes
for the disqualification of opinions and
the steadying of national impulses.
Uranus presages increase of interest
in spiritual matters. Although schemes
and dissensions are indicated i'll
churches these troubles are but signs
Of growth, the seers declare,
Neptune f~oreshadows u great intel
lectual awakening which will reach the
toilers and place them in positions Of
permanent betterment.
There is a sign e as ~forecasting
a supreme gain for America owing to
cooperation affecting interests in either
Africa or South America.
This should be a most suspicious
time for visiting those whose good opin-
ion it is desirable to gain. Persons in
the sun are believed TO be more sus-
ceptible to suggestion under this sway
than under other planetary direction.
A forecast Of the summer quarter
promises prosperity to the country, but
with 1t an increase of crime and i'm

Mrs. Wilson WOOdroW'S Article
BY MRS. WILSON WOODROW,
The world famous writer on vital subIeets.

You are not a slave. You are a
married woman and a mother, and the
law gives you certain definite rights.
The law requires you husband to
maintain YOU, and to support n edu-
cate his child in a
surate with his earnings,
AS a human being, rood, sufficient
clothing and a roof to shelter you are
not the only things necessary to your
well-being.
Air, exercise, congenial companions
n a certain mount of recreation are
equally important factors in keeping
up your health of mind and body.
Then take them. stop weeping and
wailing n imploring III husband
to give you as a privilege that which
Is yours by right. You are not a poor,
little, helpless creature. You are a
woman who has made a good living, and
can do it again. There is the door in
you stone wall.
Don't have scenes. Have one big
one and get 1t over. No one minds oc-
casional gusts and spatters of rain;
but we all take notice OF a big thun-
derstorm, n it certainly clears the
air.
Suppose your husband had a dog
which was a valuable animal. Would
he keep it tied up continually? Far
from it. Instead he would arise be-
times in the morning 90 give the dog
its run before he wen to work, and
he would do the same thing when he
came home in the evening. Are you
not worth more than many dogs?
Stop thinking of yourself In mega
tives, Look at the affirmative side OF
your problem. You are young. You
are able to max a good living. You
do not have to accept for either your
self or your child the conditions under
which you are living.
Announce you position, therefore,
and stand by it, and the probability
is that your husband, being a bully and
consequently a coward, will speedily
alter his attitude.
