Dealers Anticipate
Auto Tire Shortage
| Later IN the Season

A warning to motorists to buy
their tires for the coming season
now, when they can be sure of their
sizes and of first class grades, was
sounded yesterday by Henry Ny
gard, manager OF the Omaha Pfrc
& Repair Co., 220l Farnam street,
who said tire shortage later in the
summer is anticipated by dealers.
In addition to the possibility tina,
factories will be unable to supply the
demand later in the year, there may
be an increase in the prices of tires,
he said.
Mr.. Nygaard, who has been in the
tire business longer than any other
dealer in Omaha, declared that tires
of today give six times the service
that those of few years ago did,
because of Improvements in con.
struction and the better care given
by motorists. Considering the num-
Der of cars in operation, there is A
surprisingly small amount of tire
trouble, he said. The introduction
of demountable rims and the educa-
tional campaigns conducted by man
ufacturers were responsible for driv-
ers giving their tires better care.
Mr.. Nygaard recalled that one OF
the most popular sized tires used
now costs about $40, whereas it sold

Pershing Will Advocate
Retention of War Plants

Washington, March 2.-Retention
of sufficient wartime posts and war
plants to permit expansion of the
army and resumption of production
of war materials at full capacity will
be recommended by General Per-
shing, he indicated today on his re-
turn to Washington after three
months tour of inspection of camps,
environments and supply depots over
the country.
The generals full report to Sec
retary Baker probably will be made
within 10 days.
There is strong sentiment through
out the country in favor of univer-
sal service Of some sort, General
Pershing said, based on recognition
of the benefit to the men themselves
and also on the fear that I'VE might
not have allies to hold the line for
US in the next war;"
American citizenship Is sound to
the CORE" the general said. Il was
impressed with the wave of Ameri-
canism which is sweeping over the
country"
General Pershing Said he had not
talked politics to "a single person"
on his trip and is mot talking poll
hes now"

Over The Political Fence

The democrats have gotten a start
In the filing of candidates for county
central committee, two having filed
with the election commissioner as
follows: John L. Sexton, $40 Ban
croft street, Seventh precinct OF the
Fifth ward; Antonio r. Rizzuto,
1907 South Twenty-second street,
Tenth precinct of the Fourth ward.
The new arrangement of filing for
the county central committees of the
various political parties, under the
Reynolds law, requires personal fil-
ings, according to the Interpretation
by Election Commissioner Moor
head. The central committees are be-
ginning to cast around for commit
tee timber, acting on the theory that
but few will take the time to file un-
less prompted.
Each party is entitled to county
committee of one man and ono
woman for each of the l68 precincts
of Douglas county. If any precincts
are not represented in the regular
filings names may be added in by
voters in a manner similar to writing
in the names for other offices. An
other feature of the new law re-
quires the election commissioner to
furnish ballots with which to vote
for county committeeman. A sepa-
rate set Of ballots will be furnished
to each precinct for this purpose.

Child Slowly Starving
To Death Despite Doctors

Adeline Martin, 6 years old, is
enduring slow starvation at the Uni
versity of Nebraska hospital as re-
suit OF drinking by mistake glass
of concentrated lye eight months
ago. The entire staff of the hospital
is making an effort to save the little
girls life, and both physicians and
nurses find the courage which the
youngster displays, even when suf-
fering most severe pains, a con-
tinual source of amazement.
The little girls mother died two
years ago. Her aunt, Mrs. ]. E.
Lindsey, 821 Park avenue, gave the
details of the accident, which re-
suited in severe burns causing her
present inability to take nourish-
ment.. The glass of lye was mis-
taken for a glass of milk, Mrs.
Lindsey said.
