Many Years Necessary for
Liqht to Travel to Mass

London, March 6.-British maths
ematicians calculate it would take
many years to get single wireless
message from Mars to the earth.
The time taken for signal to pass
from the Eiffel tower, Paris, to Ar
lington, near Washington, and back,
a total distance of 1874 miles, is
.006 seconds. Consequently, a wire
less signal moving day and night
at the same rate would take four
years four months to reach Alpha
Centauri, the nearest star from the
earth, 10000 billion kilometers dis
tant.
Another proposal is to switch on
simultaneously the whole street
lighting of every city in the United
States.
The combined street illumination
of London, probably the most brill
liantly illuminated city in the world,
is 1,25G,006 candle-power. 1t was
calculated by German scientist that
the smallest light signal visible on
Mars from the earth is 1000, ,0OO,-
100000 candle-power. 1t would,
therefore, need the combined light
of millions of cities as brilliantly lit
up as the city of London to aggre-
gate sufficient candle-power to fash
light to Mars.

Dutton Exhibit at Show
Attracts Much Attention

Each year the Kissel exhibit at the
Automobile show has some out
standing feature that is the big tre-
.nendous hit of the week. This year
they pulled off double-header from
the standpoint of attractiveness. The
Kissel siX-passenger sedan was ac-
claimed the handsomest and most
practical closed car of the show. Its
straight line body, with remarkable
seating space for six people, irnme-
diately attracted the>man or woman
who desired 10 sombine the practical
with the beautiful.
The rec sport model Kisse1 speed
ster was the sensational hit of the
show. This car isl real sport model
in every sense and its attractiveness
was proclaimed by the thousands of
people who were continually crowd
ed about it from the time the show
opened in the morning until the
closing at night.
The two cars above mentioned,
with big Moon Gas touring car,
completed the Dutton exhibit. !

New Advertising Manager
For Sprauue Tires Is Here

Announcement is made by the
Sprague Tire and Rubber Co. of this
city of the appointment of r. c.
Hudson of Portage, Wis. as adver-
tising manager.
Previous to his coming to Omaha,
Mr.. Hudson was copy chief for the
Conner Advertising Agency of Dem
yer. He was formerly advertising
manager for the Denver Alfalfa
Milling and Products Co. of Lamar,
Colo. For two years he was the
space buyer for the Gramer-
Krasselt Advertising Agency of Mil
waukee.
Plans are now being made for a
more extensive advertising campaign
which will fully acquaint auto own
ers of the western states with the
merits of Sprague tires and tubes.
II have never seen tire that
comes up to the Sprague," said Mr..
Hudson. "Its sales possibilities are
enormous, and l believe that the day
is not far distant when this Omaha
product will be known from coast
to coast.

to be her husband.
"Then we have the man who eats
garlic and insists on letting us know
At. The most adorable type is the
woman who requires about FIVE min
utes to find her, money. Life would
be dull without her. We utter a
prayer of thanks for the man who
comes up to the window, throws
down bill and says Gimme two
of your best seats
There is another type--the PET
son who wants to know all about
the play, and sometimes we have
people who want to see the seats
before they will buy tickets.
Full Of Human Interest.
II tell you it is a great life if you
don't weaken. 1t is full of human
interest and is fine and dandy if you
don't take it too seriously. One soon
learns a thing or two about human
nature. The dilatory ones usually
respond to a little coaching when
there is rush. When we see a
bald-headed man at the window, and
if it is that kind of show, we know
he wants seats in the front row."
The box office ticket seller knows
every seat of his house and he has
tickets for each seat and for each
open date. This requires ID sets
OF tickets for week in theater
having performances every after
noon and every evening. In the
sale of tickets for advance perform
ances the box office attendant must
be sure that the tickets given are OF
the date and performance desired.
Even in the best Of regulated the
aters a mistake will occur now and
then. Occasionally a patron will
present tickets which bear date
other than the one of which they are
offered.

there are of each admission price

Well With Eastern Shows

R. c. Reuschaw, jr., sou of the
president of the Mitchell Motor
company at Racine, Wis, was
visitor at the Omaha Automobile
show last week and guest of ]. I.
Stewart.
Mr.. Reuschaw expressed the opin-
ion that the Omaha show equals in
splendor and Importance everything
except the New York and Chicago
shows. Mr.. Reuschaw has visited
the Milwaukee, Chicago, Minneapo-
lis, Nashville, St. Louis and Louis
vile shows and feels that the Onna-
ha show is holding its own with
all of these exhibits.
The Mitchell people are standard
izing on standard classis and mo-
tor and in this way hope to bring
production to the maximum very

Definite announcement has becu
made that the Elgin road race will
be held in the fail of 1920, according
to Harry P. Branstetter of the Chi
cago Automobile club. The race will
be run on the old Elgin course,
some time the latter part OF August
or the first part of September. The
exact date will depend upon the
coming of the Glidden tour.

Automobile Chamber of Commerce,
niue-tenths of al! the automobiles

What appears to be boon to the
aviation world is new motor which
has recently been invented by Fred
Parker of Mankato, MINI. The mo-
tor is combination of four prin-
ciples. the turbine the rotary, the
supplicating and the oscillating mo-
tor. The general principles of this
machine, are taken from the LIE
-Rhone, the Simplex, the Beardmore
and the Gnome. A pecularity of the
engine is that there is no crank
shaft and no oovalyes. The motor
gives eight power impulses per rev.
olution. At II 400 revolutions per
minute the engine delivers an excess
of AZ horsepower, and at 200 rev.

The advent of the movie theater
has brought an increased demand for
wopen ticket sellers in the regular,

sold at the movie houses do not en-
tail much clerical work, for they are
numbered serially or their sale reg

the box office work..
Another duty of the box Office
clerk in the regular theaters is the
filling of advance ticket orders. Some
patrons reserve the same seats for
the entire season and it would be
an agreious error to sell their seats

HER WORK HNOT so
EASY AS IT LOOKS
Women More Fashdious Than
Men in Selecting
Theater Tickets.

There are some mortals who be-
lieve that the last word in occupa-
xional greatness is to sit behind a
box office window and sell tickets
ito the show" Some believe that
this is about as easy as eating
pumpkin pie, but the work Is not
all sunshine and smiles, if the state
ment of these public servants may
be accepted according to the stand
ards which George Washington es-
tablished.
The work has some alluring fea-
lures and ofttimes it tests the tenn
peramental qualities Of the subject.
The casual observer sees only the
outside. He thinks it is easy to hand
out the tickets and take in the money
and wishes that he might fall into
something which seems to be the
mere stimulation of work.
Here is a typical situation of the
many which occur during the days
work at the box office: There is a
line being held by a person who
believes in the divine right OF i'm
pressing individual importance. He,
or it may be a "she, seems to
gloat over the fact that he is hold
ing the line.
Shifts to Other Foot.
"What kind of seats do you
have?" he asks, with aggravating
co'rplacency.
"We have them from 50 cents to
$3.50 each, plus the war tax. How
many do you wish?" the box Office
official inquiries, casting a, furtive
glance along the row of impatient
faces.
II don't want the seats behind a
post. Are you sure they are not be-
hind a post?" the person of inquir-
ing mind continues, while fat man
in the line stands on his other foot
and inwardly, says some mean
things.
The box Office person would like
to reply "We will have all of the
posts removed for you," but he puts
on a sickly smile and assures the
prospective patron that there are
some seats with unobstructed view
and he gently reminds him that
there are others waiting to be
served. The transaction is ac-
complished and the line moves up
another notch, whereupon the next
in line remarks something about the
nerve of'some peoples children, or
he says something just as meaning
full.
Lots Of Amusement.
ooh, yes, we have lots of amuse-
inent along the way; it is not all
gloom" the veteran box Office <fl1an
remarked, rem;niscently. Frequently
we have visit from the person who
asks to have tickets held. He asks
Will you be sure to hold those
seats? A woman asked me that
question three times yesterday and
j was tempted to reply that we
would hold the seats, because they
were fastened to the floor and I
was sure they would not get away.
But business ethics required that I
should smile, which l did. and !
