usually Beautiful.
Cars to Fit Every Purse

Gasoline chariots OF all designs,
combining the best features that me-
ehanical and artistic brains of the
country have been able to achieve.
glstened in the most gorgeous sur.
roundings of any Omaha automobile
salon when the doors OF the Audi
torium opened at yesterday after
noon for the 18th annual automobile
show.
There are 1870 passenger cars ami
80 trucks on exhibit. The number Of
exhibitors is somewhat less than last
year. because. as explained by \. 3.
Waugh, manager of the show. there
are fewer kinds OF cars being made.
But the exhibits of the 30 makes
represented are more complete than
ever before. Moreover. the number
of cars on the great Auditorium floor
is as large as ever before.
Former Efforts Ooutdone.
For II years the automobile show
in Omaha has been marked by an in-
oreasing beauty not only OF cars. but
of decorations. This year w. G.
Colling Of the Burgess Nash company.
who has been in charge of the deco
rating. has outdone any previous eff
fort.
The color scheme is OF burnt orange.
green, black and white. with a tinted
interior The ceiling is lighted with
large disks Of yellow surrounded by
white lights. Surrounding .the en-.
closure are curtains hanging from the
ceilings. which carry out the general
color scheme in stripes.
Methods of marking the exhibits by
lighted sign posts add TO the general
harmony Of the salon.
Two orchestras will play each aft
ernoon and evening.
No Foreign Makes.
There are no motors Of foreign
make in the exhibit. Probably the
most expensive car is the Cadillac
limousine with a specially built body.
which is priced at $500. There are
automobiles for every purse. Com.
menting on the exhibit. Manager
Waugh declares:
"The automobile buying public is
being offered the greatest value. dol
lar for dollar, in the history OF the
automobile industry. Many of the
cars are down to pre-war prices. and
with their new refincments they real
" are cheaper than the pre.war car.
THE standard popular makes will
be oversold within 60 days, and after
that time prompt deliveries Will be
hard to obtain. This. despite the
fact that there will be more cars
made this year than ever before. This
Is borne out by reports of the Ma
tional Automobile association"

securing railway lines that have here
tofore been in unoccupied territory.

workers from France and Belgium are
awaiting the order to put them at
work on the railway lines throughout
the Ruhr and Rhineland. Plans for
operating the roads. it is expected,
will be completed this week
The disciplining of the city of
Bochum for its attitude toward the
occupation has been featured by
wholesale arrests and the virtual
declaration of a state of siege. The
French proved their strength by
bringing tanks and machine guns to
the heart of the town. Most of
those arrested were released.
