Important Decision.
Attorneys who have reviewed the
decision state that it will play no
small part in further establishing the
intrinsic value of trade names and
titles in the automobile industry.
Moreover, the case may prove the
basis for decision which will clearly
establish the right of manufacturers
to prevent the use of signs such as
Buick Service" or Overland Serv-
ice" by organizations which are not
authorized by the manufacturer to
give such service.
The injunction, moreover, in effect
gives to the creator of trade name
i'll an industry the sole right to use
that trade name in connection with
any article which is commonly ac-
cepted as an accessory to the product
which originally bore the trade name,

Women Take Better
Care Of Batteries
Than Men Drivers

Very few women have a natural
bent for mechanics says Elmer
Rosengren of the Nebraska Storage
Battery company, "but when it
comes to taking care of a storage
battery they average up great deal
better than the men,"
1T is easy to make woman I'm
dcrstand that battery has to be
taken care of and after this point is
made clear, she usually takes par
ticular pains to follow directions and
do regularly the few simple things
that are necessary to keep the bat
terry in AL shape.
Perhaps it is because women are
used to caring for plants that they
do: so we'll in caring for batteries,
but whatever the cause may be the
result is a longer lived more useful
battery.
another thing about most women
is that they do not abuse the bat
terry by keeping the motor spinning
when the engine refuses to start
right away. They are not satisfied,
as a rule, unless everything about the
engine and starting equipment is
working perfectly, and when it isn't
they usually take a short cut to the
nearest service station to find out
lust what the difficulty is.

Story Of Recent
Price Decline
Told by Charts
Dodge Brothers Dealer Has
Interesting Way of Com.
pairing Variations in
Costs.

Anyone interested in prices-and
there are few who are not interested
these .days-will find some unusual
disclosures in a set of charts just
released to their dealers by Dodge
Brothers.
The charts are not confined to
automobile prices, as might be as
sumed from the fact that they were
issued by an automobile manufac-
turer, but show clearly and accurate
ly the remarkable variations in the
cost of hundreds of commodities
over a period of seven and eight
years.
If, by any chance, your salary has
been recently reduced and you are
inclined to grumble, try the simple
experiment of comparing your pres
ent salary with your salary in June.
1920, when the peak was reached
in the prices of most commodities.
If you are making as much now
as you were then. you are still Al
per cent ahead of the game, accord
ing to one of the charts, which shows
decline of al per cent from June,
1920, to June, 1921. in the prices of
321 commodities. If you have been
reduced 10 per cent, you are 81
per cent ahead.
Dodge Brothers did not issue
these charts, however, to at
tempt to justify any salary reduc-
tions," said R. E. Davis of the
O'Brien-Davis Coad Co., "but merely
to prove to the public that the price
of Dodge Brothers motor car has
been remarkably low all through the
period of high prices, as compared
with the general trend.
Dodge cars were already below
the present price of the great ma
jority of commodities and they had
not been getting the abnormal prof
it that retailers Of these commodi-
ties were getting the last six or seven
years. Still they reduced from $lo5
to 1865, bringing the touring car
down to the astounding price of
$685., f. o. b. Detroit, few weeks
after announcing that the car here
after would be equipped all around
with oversize cord tires. Dodge
Brothers have unlimited resources
and when they buy materials they
natually get the most advantageous
prices"
Mr.. Davis made an interesting
comment on the subject of house
hold economics. "Now and then
people who intended to buy a car
come to me-" he said, with the story
that their wages have been reduced
and they will have to put it off or
abandon the idea altogether.
"Now 4hese people can really af-
ford to buy car but have not taken
the trouble to figure it out. They
have simply failed to readjust their
own mode of living in keeping with
the general economic readjustment.
Wouldn't the pleasure and con-
venience of owning an automobile
offset the slight disappointment of
not being in a position to attend
every social function that comes
along and of buying everything that
your neighbor buys? / know it
would"

Automobile Trade
Now Back to Normal,
Says Omaha Dealer

According to Ralph w. Jones Of
the Card-Adams Motor company
the automobile business is back to-
normal, but the dealers do not rea-
lie it. Jones asserts that it is far
easier to sell cars today than it
was in 1914, 1915 and 1916 and that
many dealers have reached the
highest point in the number of re-
tail sales made during the months
of April. May and June.
The years, 1919 and 1920 were far
above normal in the sale of auto
mobiles and according to Jones
should not be used in measuring
normal business.
Territory business is already pick
ing up materially and dealers are
coming in for cars almost daily. In
the western part of Nebraska, where
the wheat crop has been harvested,
dealers are taking cars as fast as
they can get them and indications
are that territory business will show
a marked increase very soon.

Good Decorator Must Know
All Of Rooms Symptoms

The average client goes into a
decorators establishment and says,
I want to look at living room
papers" and seems loath to state her
particular symptoms as she would
unhesitatingly to doctor whom she
expects to help her. Such requests
do not take into consideration any
thing more than the personal wishes
of the client, when they should be
based upon the specific problem of
her rooms. Correct and satisfying
wall decoration depends, in general,
upon the exposure of the room, size,
the size and number of the pictures,
the color and design in hangings,
rugs, upholstery, ornaments, lamp
shades, and so forth.
Northern rooms need sunshine ef-
fects of delicate yellows and orange.
buffs Ii. e., light tan), creams and
pinks. Unless the northern effect is
neutralized somewhat by the other
exposures, the use of cold colors, as
lavender and blue, is disappointing.
Nothing is so difficult to match and
harmonic as blues. Concentrated in
a bowl, vase, Della Robbia
plaque, or a decorative silk panel,
however, the effectiveness of blue is
not squandered. Just opposite to
this, southern rooms, like western
rooms, because flooded with sun
shine, need cooling effects to be OBJ
tanned in greens, blues and lavenders.
Eastern rooms, with their morning
sunlight. can stand either cool or
warm co]ors. Since ivory, tan or
gray tones are neutral, they are good
with either cool or warm exposures.
Poorly lighted rooms should have
light papers. White paper gives 80
per cent of light; yellow, so per cent;
emerald green, 20, and dark brown,
10 per cent.
The choice of a figured paper de-
pends further upon whether one is
using plain or designed hanging fab
ribs, or whether there is a great deal
of other design in the room, parti-
cularly in rugs and upholstery COW
erings. If the hangings are plain,
the walls can be figured, if there are
no pictures to be hung, and there is
not much other design in the room.
The choice of a designed paper
depends still further upon the size
of the room. Large rooms but not
sleeping rooms, if the above condi-
tions are met, may have design. In
small rooms, design decreases the
apparent size of the room. The
reason for not having design il bed
rooms is because the presence of de-
sign on bedroom walls is often dis
turbing when one is convalescing
and lying abed, tracing patterns or
counting spots.
The height of the ceiling de-
termines the choice of paper also.
Stripes increase the apparent height
of the ceiling. Since bedroom CELL
ings are generally low, stripes are
most appropriate there.
The floor, which constitutes back
ground, should be dark, heavy in ef-

Mexico to Link
Meridian Road
With Mexico City
Agrees to Appropriate $4,000
a Mile for Highway 83l
Miles Long to Laredo,
t Tex.

The Mexican government has
promised to appropriate 1000 pesos,
or $4,000 per mile, for S5l miles OF
highway from Mexico City to
Laredo, Tex, TO connect there with
the Meridian highway, which is the
Winnipeg to Gulf road in America,
This fact was reported today by
DR.. +. A. Long OF Madison, Neb.,
who is in Omaha on his return from
Mexico City, where he was a men,
Der of a party of IL directors and
delegates of the Meridian Highway
association seeking to interest the
Mexican central government in ex-
tending the highway into Mexico.
DR.. Long is director from Ne
braska for the Meridian Highway
association. Returning from Mexico
last night he stopped in Omaha to
visit with his brother, A. Z. Long,
1922 South Thirty-fourth street, and
his sister. Mrs. F. A. Wellman, 1902
South Thirty-second street.
Suggest Extension.
The directors have been in brre-
spondence with Mexican authorities
for more than six months suggesting
such an extension of the Meridian
highway into Mexico. As culmina-
ton of this chain of correspondence,
the directors decided to make trip
to Mexico City with view to arous-
ing further enthusiasm and at the
same time helping to lay out route
for the proposed highway in the re-
public to the south. The Mexicans
received them with enthusiasm, and
the central government sent a special
war department Pullman to Laredo,
Tex, to pick up the American dele
cation there.
Willing to Co. Operate.
after we got on Mexican soil our
money was no good" said DR.. Long.
"The governors of the various
Mexican states we visited on the
way down assured us of their will
ingness to cooperate, but in each
case they made it plain that they
wanted to wait and see what attitude
the central government would take
toward the project.
This was soon determined when we
reached Mexico City. There we met
President Obregon, who assured us
of his willingness to cooperate.
Mexico is woefully devoid of
auto roads. Everywhere that we
spoke to chambers of commerce, the
members assured us that we had |
opeked up to them a new view of
the possibilities that lay in road de-
velopment and especially the posi-
bilities in opening the Meridian high
way into Mexico City, the great his
toric city of the western hemisphere,
the city which will attract thou
sands of tourists every year from

Injunction granted the WHY'S
Overland company against Akron
Overland Tire company in the
United States circuit court of ap-
peals for the Third district, sitting in
Philadelphia, has established a point
of law which will have a far-reaching
effect in the future values of auto
mobile trade names, according to
legal council who have reviewed the
decision.
Shortly after the Akron Overland
Tire company sought to sell stock in
their organization, Willys-O Overland
company asked an injunction from
the United States District court for
the district of Delaware. This court
granted the injunction which now
has been upheld by the court of ap-

Overland is restrained from using the
name Overland in their corporate
title, on their stock certificates, or
in any form in connection with their
product.

The court held "that the use of
