Why 1t Took Three Years
To Build PAIGE Motor

The new year for the Paige-De-
troit Motor Car Co. has been mark
ed by the the addition to its varied
line of passenger cars of several new
models built on new light six
chassis and equipped with a new
Paige motor that has been just an
nounced. Among these new mod
els are the G!enbrook, five-passen-
ger touring car; the Lenox, three
passenger roadster; a fve-passenger
four-docr sedan and four-passen-
ger coupe. Commenting on these
new features of the Paige line, Pres
dent Harry M. Jewett says.
"The war has taught American
manufacturers many valuable les
sons In the past three years, for
instance. we have developed an en-
tirely new conception of precise
manufacturing in large scale produc-
ton. The Glenbrook, our new five
passenger touring car, as we'll as the
other models built on our new light
six chassis, is a striking example of
this practice The scrupulously &C
curate methods that were applied to
delicate government mechanisms
are now producing every unit of
these cars"

Douglas Motors Is
First to Make Entry
In Big Truck Contes,

The Douglas Motors corporation
of Omaha, manufacturer of Doug
las motor trucks and passenger cars,
made the first official entry in the
first national motor truck relia-
bility contest, which will start from
Omaha sometime in June, 1920. This
entry was made January by
George Christopher, president of
the Douglas Motors corporation.
In speaking of this truck contest,
Mr.. Christopher expressed a belief
that it would do more to promote
the motor truck industry than any
thing which has been staged up to
the present time. Mr.. Christopher
feels also that this demonstration
will be the fairest possible means of
testing the performance of the vari-
Gus trucks which will compete for
the trophies.
The Douglas Motors corporation
feels that it has an excellent chance
of winning the trophy in the divls-
ion which they have entered. The
Douglas is a western truck, built to
serve the gruelling test to which a
truck is subjected in this territory.
The first entry of the Douglas
Motors corporation is a ton-and-
one-half truck. 1t is quite possible
that they will enter two other trucks
later.

Truck Shortage Prospect
Looms Up for Season of 1920

"A truck shortage in 1920 is pre-
eminent" asserts o. A. Wilson of
Andrew Murphy & Sons. "At the
present time we are unable to Sc
cure sufficient number of two-ton
trucks to supply the demand. We
are Il orders behind on two-ton
trucks and if the situation does not
clear up very rapidly, this number
will increase with the selling sea-
son. 1t is rather unusual to be
oversold on any model at this time
OF the year.
"The Republic factory 10 turning
out about 800 two-ton trucks
month, which represents about one
third of the demand for this model.
No relief is yet in sight and on ac-
count of the material situation,
there is no possibility Of relief un-
til June. We are still able to make
deliveries on the other models ow-
ing to the fact that we stocked them
very heavily during the earlier win
ter months. However, few weeks
OF good selling weather will put US
in bad shape 50 far as the other
models are concerned, ....-

by Charles P. Root, and submitted
to the contest board of the American
Automobile association, which issued
sanction for the event. The route of
The Run Around the Money Belt"
will be approximately $500 miles to
be covered in Is days of running
with resting periods over three Sun
days. ....
While a tentative route has been
prepared, this is not thoroughly set
tied upon, and changes may be made
after the trip Of the pathfinder some
time in May. The great farming
section of the middle west will be
covered, and the value of pneumatic
tires will be demonstrated, as all
trucks participating must be fur
nished with this tire equipment. 1t
is in the territory that will be COW
cred by the run that the greatest
market for the motor truck will be
found for many years to come 1t
was for this reason that the Omaha
Bee became interested in the promo
ton of this contest, offering a
splendid trophy for the event.

They will dance the dances of their ancestors which have been passed down from generation to genera tion. They will chant their weird, savage songs-believe me, friends, it will be a treat of the rarest vari- ety. These Indians do not put on free shows every day. It was with great difficulty that 1 procured the services of these savages and would hate to think that any of my regular customers and friends would miss it.
 Besides the savage Indians - there are other things of interest to you. The pretty girls who serve the public so efficiently at the Chocolate Shop will be at the Fashion Show to put some punch into the affair. There are two kinds of punch-punch and Choco- late Shop punch. If you haven't appreciated the difference - come Friday evening and decide for your self.

"CuT T OUT" SAID
 PARROT, BUT THEY
 CAUGHT HIM ANYWAY

Cut it out, cut it out" screamed large, green, yellow headed parrot in the city hall plaza yesterday afternoon when a stream of cold water from the nozzle of a fire hose unseated him from his perch in the top of a tall ash tree. He fluttered to the ground, wet and raging, and was captured by the mem bers of the Phoenix fire department, They carried him upstairs in the fire house. where a warm fire soon dried his feathers and cooled his anger.
 About g. 30 o'clock one Of the firemen saw the parrot fly to a tree near the fire house and at once the fireman began to lay plans for the capture of the bird. One of the firemen climbed the tree, but the parrot was wise and edged farther out on the limb. He re- fused to come in on the limb and the fireman refused to go farther out and the effort to lay hands on the parrot ended in a draw.
 Then some one offered the suggestion 1 of chasing the bird out of the tree with a stream of water. A line of l hose was laid and a small stream of water played on the bird. With his 1 feathers we'll soaked the parrot was unable to fly and fell to the ground A few minutes after the parrot was captured. woman came to the fire house and claimed the parrot
 She said it had escaped early yes terday morning from cage in hei yard at I'll South Central avenue. Tn, bird, she said was brought from Cubs | about three weeks ago and "cut it out was the only speech it could make.
