bort Interests Live Up .,-s
4 To Four Business Rules

Many, industrial centers live up to
certain business principles quite re-
iigiously, says J.aC. Gefspocher, sec
retary and general manager Of the
er-Gerspocher Motor company,
distributors for bort automobiles,
but the manner In which the bort
interests have stood by their four
principles in doing business is one OF
the most unique instances in Ameri-
can business life. These four busi7
ness principles, upon which bort
success is founded, originated with
the original bort carriage company
and are as follows: To build well,
to represent fairly, to deliver full
value and to preserve good will. J..
Dallas bort, president Of the bort
Motor Car company, has made the
statement that "the present bort
principles of doing business will al
ways be the guiding star for bort

Company Decides to Abolish

Of Trucks.

Factory tonnage ratings on, Pack

hereafter all models will be desig-

according to an announcement is
sued by the Packard Motor Car COM
pany. In other words, the term
"three-ton" truck, for example. i. ia
boo. 1t will be known as "Size D."
This radical step is in accordance
with the company's plan of selling
the truck to fit the job"

but is misguiding to the buying pub
lie" says the announcement. "The
old system of factory tonnage rat
.ings confuses the problem of trucl,
transportation, and in condemning it
we are clearing the way to a better
understanding of truck performance.
Rating Is Crude Estimate.
"What can be expected of three
ton truck? The term implies that it
is the only adequate vehicle for a
three-ton load; that it will carry the
three-ton load efficiently from one
point to another, regardless of con-
ditions. As a matter of fact, the load
may best be hauled on a truck rang
ing from one and half tons to five
tons, depending entirely on the con-
ditiops existing where the hauling
must be done. At its best, the fac
tory tonnage is a crude estimate of
truck performance, and the automo-
bile history can no longer tolerate
crude estimates.
"By building into our trucks a
large factor of safety, and by putting
oF transportation engineers at the
service of purchasers, we have done
much to remedy the evils of misun-
derstanding springing from the old
system. The elimination of factory
tonnage ratings is the next logical
step. In other words, we are going
directly to fundamentals. We shall
take each truck sale as a distinct
problem in hauling, and our engi-
neers will advise the purchaser as to
the truck he needs to meet his in
dividual requirements. One of the
first benefits of this new system will
be the minimizing of overlooking.

which trucks are subjected, and

STARTING A BOLT

When bolt is so located that il
is difficult to start it, the trouble may
be obviated by attaching piece Of
wire to the end of the bolt by a
drop of solder. Using the wire as
handle the bolt is easily started
and after II is in place the wire is
easily removed by few turns.

! "Come to Omaha" Is the cry sent
TO eveEy factory back east. And
the reply. nine times out of 10 is:
"Surel We won't miss Omaha this
year"
To back up their demand that the
"big guns" be here, about all of
the Omaha distributors were in
Chicago last week to whisper in
the ears of the factory men who
were at the Windy City show.
Also, the distributors while in
Chicago made sure that Omaha gets

shown in Chicago or New York."
ventured Manager Powell of the To-
cal show. MANY factories are per-
fecting new models which will be
shown in Omaha for the first time.
Our show is to be held just late
enough in the season to permit
every factory to give US everything
that's newest and niftiest."
Omaha distributors, returning
from Chicago, are bubbling with
enthusiasm, apd promise to an
nounce exhibitS that will make Ne

Constantinople, Feb. 22.-The ma
tionalist maneuvers are only con-
tinuation of German plotting, ac-
cording to Alemdar, the organ sup
porting the entente and the liberty

Germany, Switzerland and Russia
are centers from which Young Turks
like Djavid Bey, Djemel Pasha,
Talaat Pasha and Enver Pasha are
directing bolshevik negotiations for
the nationalists in an effort to et-
feet Russian bolshevik cooperation

Pasha, says the newspaper, is now
in Persia, where he is attempting
to facilitate the entrance of the reds
into India. He has been negotiating
in Azerbaidjan, which controls the
Baku oil fields. and probably could
open the road for the bolsheviki in

Many nationalists declare that the
failure to obtain a satisfactory peace

Sentence for Attempt
To Murder Erzberge1

Berlin, Feb. 22.-T was con-
vfnced that Erzberger was working
for English money for private gain
only" Ensign Won Hirschheld told
the court at his trial, when asked
the motive which actuated his al
legged attempt at murder upon the
miniser of finance.
The young officer admitted that
DR.. Karl Helfferich's pamphlet,
Away With Erzberger," served as
one source of his information, while
other acts such as Herr Erzberger's
change of front on the question of
annexation heightened his antipathy.
He described the method of his at
tack, repeatedly asserting that he
had intended only to wound Err
berger so as to contine him to his
bed for several weeks.
Alienists who examined Ensign
Won Hirschield pronounced his act
"the deed of fanatic suffering from
Authorizations" j..
Ensign Won Hirschheld was SEM
fenced to l8 months imprisonment.
