DRIVE AWAY MORE
 POPULAR THAN EVER
 AT FACTORIES NOW
Inability of Railroads to Handle Freight Forces Automobile
 Dealers to Act

The favorite outdoor sport Of the motor car dealer today is the drive-away. Dur ing the war, when the railroads were bur dened with the transportation of troops and munitions, the shipping of automo- piles by freight was difficult to accom- plish and subject to long delays. Distribu- tors and dealers, taking the matter in their own hands came to the factories and drove their allotment of cars home over the open road. While the war has been over for some time the custom still prevails and, with the approach of spring, seems to be more in favor than ever.
 Distributors and dealers are driving away large numbers of cars because of the ina bility of the railroads to meet the situation" says Henry I<rohn, vice presi- dent, sales. Paige-Detroit Motor Car Company. There is not enought equip ment available to handle the business that is clamoring for service.
 ''While the roads have been returned to their owners, the situation has not improved. Production of motor cars and other commodities has increased enor-

INTERLINER MAKES
 PNEUMATICS GOOD
Rays Invention Protects In- ner Tube From Nails,
 Tacks and Glass

With the developments of the vari- ous tire manufacturers aimed at easier riding and longer service, with cord type tires adding to mileage and to general satisfaction both with pas senger cars and pneumatic tired trucks, the product of the Ray Tire and Rubber Company manufacturers of Ray puncture proof interliners. IS attracting sensational attention among car users and operators of pneumatic tired trucks
 The purpose of the Ray puncture proof interliner is to eliminate pune lures from pneumatic tire service. This is done without affecting. the riding ease of the tires and without in any way affecting the inner or aid tube.
 The interliner is formed by thin strips of flexible metal coated with a rubber compound by a secret process of ". F. Ray. These metal strips over lay between plys of fabric to which they vulcanize forming an interlining that fits between the inner or air tube and the outer casing.
 Nails, tacks, broken glass or any other sharp objects that puncture the unprotected tire are turned off by the metal strips and punctures are entirely eliminated.
 Thomas z. Tyler. distributor for the Ray Tire and Rubber Company in the south. reports that truck operators are saving from 25 per cent to 50 per cent of the usual tire expense through the use of Ray puncture proof interliners, and that owners of passenger cars who are using this device are showing even greater savings.

2.500-MiIe Journey Will Prove Severe Test to 'LOr-

Most encouraging indorsement of the First National Motor Truck Reliability contest has been received from many points along the tentative route or the Run Around the Money Belt which starts from Omaha in June ana traverses portions of seven states in the 2,500-mile journey to be accom- plished in approximatel twenty-five days, with four Sundays of rest In the richest farming country of the world every city and town desires to view the cavalcade. and chambers of commerce. city organizations, news papers. farming publications and many others who are interested are making every possible endeavor to secure the favor of the promoters.
 The Bee Publishing Company of Omaha. which so generously under, wrote the event and the managers, s. P. LaDue, resident manager; Charles P Root general manager, and F. Ed Spooner, promotionsl manager, haNe informed all inquirers that the path finder which will make the trip in May will finally determine the com plete routing for the event.
 MT. Root himself will do the path finding so that he may determine the possibilities of the cities and towns to care for the great number of con- testants who will be on the tour Mir Root will Sso look into road condi- tins, the bridges along the route and other material matters which enter into the successful running of the event. He will arrange the route book and arrangel for official hotels and for parking spaces. for supplies of saso- line and oil. and will attend to vast fund of work. Until the completion of his arduous journey in May the final routing will not be lenovvn L,,, cry application is receiving considera tion Of the management.

These would be bona fide purchases which ne could back up at any. time by showing the car he owned. He then would take the license for his Ford if he intended stealing car of that make, go out and orlVe away the car he wanted switch his own plates to it and be onshis way With out a complete record in the hands of the state or the police, it was next to im- possible to detect the theft because it would appear from the license number that the rogue was driving his own car

Canal Under Jerusalem

If the proposals of a Norwegian engi- neer are carried out there will soon be subterranean canal directly under sae city of Jerusalem, carrying water from the Mediterranean to the Dead Sea, IT, rigating the wilderness of Judea, and providing copious electric power at the mouth of the Jordan. For the Dead Sea, that strange body of heavy saline water, is 1,292 feet below the level of the Me6i- torranean, and not more than 50 miles away. An ample electrical supply avail able for the modernizing of the holy city and other communities that have made no progress since their names were re- corded in the manuscripts of the Bible, is ali interesting prospect, says the Popnfar Mechanics Magazine

A machine which exterminates weeds in cultivated fields by taking up strips of soil, puiverizing it, and returning it through a sieve, is described. with illus tration, in the Popular Mechanics Maga- zine. as a late addition to the implements of farming. A flat plowshare cuts a rib- boI of soil which passes over the blow onto a toothed drum that shreds it and returns about SO per cent of the earth to the field. The rest goes to a separating device, where 20 per cent more soil is re- claimed. and the residue then passes

The fact that so many of the promi- nent manufacturers have already ex pressed an intention of entering and the number of entries already in hand is evidence that this will be the one great touring event of the motor truck world and a contest worth winning
 Competition for the grand trophy to be known as the Omaha Bee trophy will be very keen. This will be award ed to the truck, regardless of size. which has the fewest number of pen alties. Under the rules there will be five classes. and a trophy for the win ner in each. with one or two other tro- phies to be announced later. Each and every truck will be given certificate

States Seeking 20 Ln1proue
 LaWs For Licensing Autos

Every state is watching conztantIy for ways to improve the motor vehicle laws. especially as regards licerSing Of cars Most states have d well dedned system of registration, but there is always room for improvement. California is the latest to make change this year.
 The Golden State for a number of years has been following a plan that seemed to be good one. A license number was issued to car owner and that number vas permanent. Each year the owner would send his fee to the superintendent of the motor vehicle department and a rev seal would be issued This would be attached to the plate in a position pro- Vided for that purpose, and in this way a car could be identified quite easily as having a new or old license This plan Sposed of the costly system of buying new tags each year and appeared to be all right
 SEES NEED OF BETTER LAWS
 There came d time, though when it was proved that a better system of registra- tion could be followed. Automobile thieves became busy in the state. especially in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and with the permanent license plan it was easy for thief to beat the game He did not have to appear personally for a license or make any thorough statements as to own ership In this way, once a license had been issued on a car it was easy to ob- tam new seals. The thieves having a sup ply of license plates always on hand these plates being issued legally could be used on any stolen car.
 Take. for instance, a thief who was m the business of stealing Ford Buick and other such cars. He would buy a tag for Ford, tag for a Buick and so on.

CONSTANTINOPLE. June l9. -
Turkish women are no longer the
sh: yelled creatures who passed their
time in the scclusion of the harem
ana were never Seen by foreign men.
They still cling to tho veil. But the
streets in Constantinople and other
larger Turkish cities are filled with
women who have their wells thrown
back from their faces. They are
highly ornamental and becoming.
Most Turkish women don't want to
abandon them in favor OF hats. But
there are many sorts OF wells and

In the railway and street cars
there are Special seats tor women,
but the limsy curtains which are
supposed to screen them from the
gaze OF men are usually drawn back,
and IL is not uncommon to see men
standing in the compartments for
women. Only very old men. however.
same seat with Il Turkish woman.
turkish women seldom go TO the
alter where there are men. Special
matinecs and evening performances
arc arranged for women only.
The war has done much to break
down the barrier between Turkish
men and women. The women were
needed so badly as nurses and relief
avail Itself of their services. And
now 1t is regarded as quite proper
for men and women TO be associated
in all sorts of charitable and educa-
tional works. Consequently many
women who were formerly forced TO
content themselves with scclusion in
Il home where fancy work and French
novels were the on1y diversions are
devoting their time to hospitals, or
phanagcs and other philanthropic in
situations.
Women who have been educated
abroad or i'm the foreign schools in
Turkey are the leaders in this move
ment for greater freedom for their
sex. Their broad experience in war
work has Interested many women in
politics and they have openly played
= great part in the nationalist move

girls take great interest in basket
