War of Nation History would be dull reading without Ullustrations. ‘“The War of the Nations" which beging an engagement of six days at the Douglas County Fair grounds Tuesday eveninz, is a vivid illustration of the stirring European history of to- day in the making. This specfecular flreworks drama produced by the Thearle-Pain company depicts the slege and capture of ,a city in Flanders. It ®ives the historical reader a vivid idea of how Liege, Namur, Maubeuge and Antwerp fell before the German guns. “The War of the Natioms” is pre- sented on an open-air stage 460 feet wids and 3@ people are in the cast. The town with. s quaint Flenish architecture is | strongly garrisined. Ome has o glimpse | of trenches and fortifications. The army ©of defense is under arms; awalting an attack. Two spies brought in by eavairy are shot. A hostlle aeroplane comes | s This Week manned by living operators, that swarms to the attack, The enemy’s army storms the trenches. Attack and counter-attaci are. delivered, Wireless towers sputter messages, Armored automobiles wheel into action. Aeroplane batteries battle with the hosts In the sky. The airships rain down bombs. The Gothic cathedral crumbles beneath the bombardment. Fire sweeps the town. Bulldings fall. Soon the city, once so prosperous looking, is a amoking and blackened waste. In an interlude before the battle, a | dowen acts of high class vaudeville are Interpolated. After the fight, two tab- leaux are staged. One typifies “The Hor- | rors of War’ the other “The Blessings | of Peace.l' The performance closes with | & dazsling displtay of fireworks. In this exhibition liquid bombs are shown for the first time and by what seems a mir- acle of pyrotechnics, a rainbow is hung Boxes | Loses Money and Watoh—John Mor- | reduction In the prices of the sucoessful 42-8ix and 3-Four, an entirely new and amaller chassls at a revolutionary price for & KisselKar, and improved designs of the popular all-year car, are prominently | mentioned in the announcement of the new KisselKars The Kissels are very proud of the great success achieved by the All-year ear, which they originated and introduced last summer, and naturally the new mod- els center largely around this feature. The new All-year cars include a coupe top as well as & Sedan top and both are | | very handsome designs | The mew tops are attached by bolting | at ten points, at six points to heavy steel brackets and at four points to the regu lar top irons of the touring car or road- [ster. An inverted top iron is used, so| that when the top is on, there is not the | slightest indication of the parting line | between the two halves of the body. | The frames of the new All-year tops | { are of heavy white ash and elm with ma- | hogany sashes. These frames are cov-| ered with sheet steel and aluminum after | the manner of the finest limousine. The roof is three-ply white wood, covered with canvas. The material and construc- tion of #he root are of such a character that peeling and warping are practically out of the question. French Plate Glass. ‘The window and door panes are French plate glass set into high grude hard channel rubber, eliminating the possi- bility of leaking even in driving rains. Eight panes of glass, including two oval panes, are used In the Sedan top, six in the coupe top. The standard tops are trimmed with leather, but special ma- terial is provided, as ordered. There is a center dome light in each top, the electric wiring being connected automatically, as the two halves of the body are joined by means of spring plungers. Seventeen coats of paint is ap- plied in twenty-one finishing operations. hinges and door locks and brass handles and window fixtures. The front and door windows are divided and easily adjusted for ventilation. There is a drop shade In the back window and silk curtains are draped in the rear side windows.

Corkhill of the Ne- braske Haynes Auto Sales company, dis- | tributer for the Haynes Light Bix. “The semi-elliptic is 8o termed because at the middle of the spring. This con- struction allows extreme resiliency and ease of riding, at the same time pre- venting any side-sway of the body on the ochassis. “The three-quarter elliptic spring Is anchored to the frame of the car at| the end and at the middle of the ellipse. The full-elliptic is fastened only at the| middle. Either of these types of con struction permits a great deal of side- sway of the body relative to the chassls, | which, of course, creates heavy strains and stresses detrimental to the entire oar.” Pleased with Work of Omaha Auto Club| iR | Omaha Auto club members are pleased | over a compliment pald them by H.
