Drama. -
The annex at the show, which IS
entered through a hall at the right
Of the main entrance, was voted one
of the most attractive section at the
show. Attractive displays of pleasure
cars fill this part Of the show. The
lighting effect and Japanese decora-
tions set the cars off to good ad-
vantage.
One of the remarkable features
of the show, according to automo-
bile men, is the large number OF
show chassis, with PARTS exposed,
that are displayed. These are driven
slowly by small electric motors,
demonstrating the action of every
part OF the motor, transmission and
drive. A Paige chassis, so equipped,
finished in black and white, drew a
large amount of attention.

Mrs. Charles E. Yost, Miss Fish

feature on which nearly every visitor
commented On the main floor oi
the Auditorium a center aisle has
been left with cars displayed on
each side. Running around the floor,
but leaving sufficient room for dis

aisle, permitting prospective pur-
chasers to make an entire circle,
viewing every car, and then to take
in. those shown on the center aisle.
The same arrangement is used on
the stage and in the annex, with the
exception that the center aisle is
omitted.
Every Car Fine One"
Clarke G. Powell, manager of the
show. insisted that every car dis
played was fine car, but honors for
the top position in point OF price are
divided by Locomobile touring car,
listed at $4,000, and a Pierce town
car, finished in dark blue. with brass
trimmings, which may be had for
$1,000. Prices range down from the
peak these establish to models SELL
ing for less than $1,000.
Virtually every automobile dealer
in Omaha testified that the show
this year is different" In the past
years, they pointed out, opening day
has been devoted to looking around,
but this year they were pressed
for demonstrations.
Demand Never So Great.
According to veterans in the bus
mess here, the demand for cars was
never so great. A large number OF
sales to local people and contracts
for out-of-toWn dealers were closed
during the afternoon and evening.
Safety measures within the show
and around the building are under
the charge of Sgt. w. G. Russell of
the Omaha police force. A detail
of eight men in uniform and several
in plain clothes are on duty at the
Auditorium all the time. Parking
cars on the east side of Fifteenth
street in front of the Auditorium
has been prohibited during the
show. Smoking inside the building
is prohibited. No disturbances or
evidence of trouble inside the show
developed.
Special progems by the three or
chestras that furnish music for the
show will beagiven today, which has
been set aside as musical day at the
show. Other features will be given
during the afternoon and evening,
among which will be the Elks' quar-
tet, which will wander around the
aisles singing in different parts OF
the building. 81

The first thing that strikes the
eyes of visitors at the Auto Show
is the Guy L. Smith exhibit. which
includes two Hudson cars and two
Essex models. All are finished in
brilliant hues, the Hudsons being in
light blue and maroon. The bright
est of all is all Essex touring car
painted bright yellow, with nicktled
finish. The appointments OF this
car caused nearly every woman vis-
itor opening day to stop and ad-
mire it. The spare tire cover and
boot for the top are watered silk
that matches the body color.
One of the latest developments in
automobile equipment is seen on
one of the Coles, shown on the
main floor at the Auditorium. This
is a permanent open leather top,
equipped with sliding windows that
may be pushed forward to make
semi-enclosed car. A sedan and
roadster complete the display. All
are equipped with disc wheels.
Noticeable on the main floor at
the show is the Ford exhibit, placed
and maintained by the Omaha fac
tory branch Of the Ford Motor Car
Co. This is one of a very few auto
mobile shows at which Ford cars
are displayed. According to auto
mobile dealers, the sentiment at the
Detroit headquarters of the COM
pany is that Ford cars are too we'll
known to make showing them
profitable. 1t is suggested at the
Omaha show that the fact that Ne
braska and Iowa lead the country
in per capital ownership of automo-
biles has made showing of Fords
here attractive
Distinction for having been the
first to pass into the automobile
show this year went to c. ]. Grauf
of Edgar Nebr. Mr.. Graul was al
the head, of long line of Visitors
that were awaiting ',e opening at 2
p. m. yesterday. He is proprietor OF
the Edgar Automobile Co.
Not the least place of interest at
the show is the space reserved for
trucks. A commercial car for every
need is on display and merchants
and farmers kept the aisles crowded
yesterday as they sought the one
best suited to their needs. A large
of heavy trucks with dump
bodies are included.

CONCRETE ON THE FARM.

II there is any thing more than another
that has aided the farmer in making his farm
stead more attractive, his live stock more COM
Portable and his farm more valuable, it is con-
crete the farm. 1t is one of the most
nomical and suitable farm-building materials. In
permanency it cannot be surpassed In fact, 1t
is unequaled in this respect. Concrete is
also one of the biggest factors in making build
ings rat and mouse proof. Needless to say. rats
and mice have always been a constant menace
to the farmers grain bins and corncribs. but the
widespread use of concrete the farm has great
ly reduced the damage done to stored Prains
Perhaps the greatest value of concrete, how
ever, is the fact that it be mixed by the farm
err himself. Instead of having to depend upon
expensive masons and carpenters he can employ
his spare time in concrete construction. because
concrete work is something that anyone can learn
WITH little practice.

Braid and buttons have been the ac-
customed decorations for suits for so
long time that we take them as
matter of course and are not surprised
to find them among any seasons pro-
auctions. Their popularity GIBBS and
flows; occasionally there is a season
when they almost disappear and then
comes time when there is no getting
away from them. They have been at
the ebb for the past two seasons
sparingly but most cleverly used in in
genious ways that are surprisingly
novel. Like the return of old friends
after an absence, braid and bone
buttons are welcome, especially when
we discover them so smart and orig
inal in application.
The suit at the right has few but
tons and a little braid, but these are
used with consummate taste. The
braid appears in lattice-work ap-

plique on the front and back Of the
coat, which is vague-itting belted
model, conservative and graceful. But
tons are set along the top of the pock-
cts and on the narrow belt at the back.
1t is a suit for any cline or any sea-
son.
The suit at the left differs only by
having more buttons set in two long
rows at the back, with bands Of braid
joining them. They form a narrow
panel that is turned under, in most I'M
expected fashion, at the bottom. It is
little, unusual touches of this kind
that give clothes distinction.
Designers who determined to use
braid evidently made up their minds to
think up new ways Of applying it.
These are only two of several braid
trimmed models that have compelled
admiration for their originality and
ingenuity.

The heads of well regulated house
holds take inventory Of the wardrobes
of their families in January, with a
view to replenishing undermuslins.
This is the time also to go over the
household linen chest and maintain
its standard of sheets, pillow cases,
towels. etc.
EARLY in January the white goods
sales are featured in dry goods stores
along with showings and sales of I'M
dermlislins.
Styles change less in undermuslins
than in other apparel, although there
ore usually new and interesting de-
velopments on trial in the January
sales. The limit of sheerness has
been reached and there is a reaction
away from it and away from silks.
They have become too popular and
too SNOWY to suit the fastidious. A
return to fine cottons and handwork
is step in advance, which evidences
the cultivation of good taste in peo-
pie who have money to spend and are
