SMALLPOX DOCTOR
 RESENTS CHARGES
Says He Can Talk to Policeman
 Without Spreading Disease

The attention of the physician who has been attending the cases of small- pox which have been under observa- tion for the past month, has been called to complaints which have come to the office of the board of health concerning the fact that after making his visits to the bedsides of the pa tients he has stopped to hold q short conversation with the policeman on duty to enforce the quarantine. Neigh bors in the vicinity of fl Pleasant street especially. have been insistent, not only to the health authorities but to the policeman on duty that the doctor be ordered not to continue the practice any longer.
 The doctor today said that there is no just cause. for the complaints that he has not taken proper precautions to prevent the spread of the disease.
 The doctor stated that he was ask ed by Dr. R. w. Pullen, health super intendent, to look after the cases. and he has been making daily visits to the patients.
 That the complaints originated through ignorance on the part of the people who made them, is tho claim Of the physician. He stated that should he fail to take proper precau- tions against infection. he would be the first to suffer.
 Although the full trust of the health department and the health board here has been placed in the doctor, the physician himself waxed indignation when he learned of the &C., tions of the neighbors in the vicinity of the fairview street house. He stated that he received most of his training in a college abroad and upon the receipt of his diploma. was required to take oath that he would attend. any case. regardless of it's nature. He worked during cholera and smallpox epidcmics in Asia when deaths reached 200 day and said that the present smallpox condition in this city is not an epidemic but small matter. Through the school of experience, he has learned the pro- per precautions to be taken when in contact with the disease and the present complaints appear to him to be childish.
 He said that all of the cases under his supervision at the present time, are getting along well and he hoped 10 have them all cleaned up in about two weeks. His recompense is so small. and the fact that he has had 10 stop all surgical work in his pro- iession, would lead him to wash his hands of the entire affair." were 1t not for the fact that he Is sworn to do his duty as he sees it and according to tho oath he took upon receiving his diploma.

"Has this car 4-Wheel Brakes!
That was the first question you heard when you
stopped at any exhibit in the Auto Show.
And the next question generally was, "Are they
internal expanding brakes mechanically operated?'
But, several other innovations and improvements
that were emphasized by several makers as new in
this show-but which you saw in the first Ricken
backer Six-also indicated the impress of this
product on the entire industry.
IL Cars now boast "vbrationless motors" And
it is interesting to note the several expedients
applied in efforts to emulate the results of Ricken-
backer's "Tandem Fly Wheel"
9 Cars emphasized "deeper frames"-though none
as yet, approaches the eight (SD inch dimensions
of the Rickenbacker 'sDouble Depth" frame.
6 Cars showed springs set nearer the ends of the
rear axle-nearer the point of contact between tire
and road. This Is Of the features of Ricken-
hacker Cradle" spring suspension.
There several other points, however, that
still to be found only in this car.
6 Cars have "Air Cleaners of one kind another
= in emulation of Rickenbackers provision for
protecting the lungs of the motor"
Fully 1870 of all makers feature steel disc wheels
first announced as standard the first Ricken-
hacker Six.
all of these much higher priced than
Rickenbacker, by the way.
Cars show the commutator located above motor,
away from dirt, water and oil. This also you first
saw in the Rickenbacker Six.
And yet-while Limitation is the sincerest form of
fattery," and we heartily acknowledge the implied
compliment
We cannot but derive still satisfaction
from the fact that, while each of several have
emuated Rickenbacker in two features,
none so far, has combined all those superiorities
in product you find them in the RicSen-
hacker Six.
OF course, everyone looked to this exhibit to sound
the keynote for the year.
Nor any disappointed.
Rickenbacker ran true to form by setting a new
standard of values with several refinements and
the unprecedented equipment at the price.
When you had visited this exhibit, the term fully
equipped" had acquired new meaning.
For Rickenbacker showed, for the first time in the
world history standard models at standard prices,
completely equipped as to leave the new
"Nothin9 Else to Buy."

Rickenbacker Told You So!

Rickenbacker models this year are equipped
with all those safety devices and eonvenienees
which the seasoned motorist considers essential,
and for which, heretofore, you have paid extra.
Not only the customary spcedometer, ammeter.
voltneter, pilot light, oil gauge and switch-lock
the instrument board;-
But also transmission lock, Folberth wind shield
cleaner, combination vanity and smoking case,
motor meter meter wings, n1otor meter lock,
shock absorbers and bumpers, both front and
The open models-Sport Phaeton and Sport Roadster
also have beveled plate-glass wind wings.
All models equipped with drum tire-covers with
lettered warning "4-Wheel Brakes" which is for
the benefit of the behind and which
fails to give the Rckenbacker man right of way.
This is Ricken hackers Interpretation Of the term
fully equipped as exemplihed in these latest
models.
Here is established not only new standard of
values, but code of business ethics.
For the first time, saw an automobile in which
the customers needs and desires were considered
paramount.
This is another Rickenbacker departure from former
rules that will revolutionize sales practice.
Nothing Else to Buy is today the exclusive slogan
of the Rickenbacker salesman-even "4-Wheel
Brakes was his clarion cry six months ago.
Buyers will no longer accept as fully equipped"
that lacks any essential for ideal driving under
any conditions of weather traffic congestion.
Having the Rickenbacker models; having
yourself experienced the wonderful performance of
the 4-Wheel Brakes, the luxury of a vbra.onless
motor and the thrill of handling this carr
Having what constitutes complete equipment"
according TO the Rickenbacker standard;-
And when you consider that all this is included
in the delivered" price, you will be at loss
to understand how it is possible to produce
much for so little money.
We hope you will see all the others before you the
if Riokenbacker-for only by direct comparison can
T you appreciate the amazing difference in quality,
performance and value. u
For none other shows the startling ac-celera-
tion coupled with equally surprising de-celeraton.
None other possesses vim, vigor and vitality"
compare with this world-famous Rckenbacker Six.
None other can perform sensatonally and yet
prove sturdy and durable in everyday hard
service.
In those qualities that lend thrill well
luxury to motoring, this Rckenbacker Six is still
supreme.
In advanced engineering, Rickenbacker is the out
standing leader. In style, the fashion plate In
Pride of Ownership-unique.
The Omaha morning bee., 1924-01-13

Just so YOU will fix the fact in your mind for
future reference and guidance;
so you will, in the future, value Rickenbackers
advice at its true worth, and heed timely
warnngs
you will, in short to realize that Rcken-
hacker engineering is sound as tits progressve
