Becretary Ciarke Powell left last even- ing for New Orleans to attend the road congress, called by the Chamber of Com- merce, which will determine upon the route of the overland North-and-south highway. To be on the route is so much desired by other cities in the middle west that large delegations will attend, and the contest for a place on the highway will be keen. With Omaha on both the Lincoln highway and the Jefferson high- way (the new north-and-south highway) automobile traffic through the city and the state would become a veritable stream f tourist parties. Mr. Powell, as dele- ate from the Omaha Automobile olub, will work with the Commercial club dep- resentatives, Randall K. Brown and Rob- eft Manley, in a Supreme effort to have Omaha placed on this route.

Foshicr of the Foshier-Enger company, | distributors for the Pathfinder company Tndianapolis, Tnd., manufacturers of the Pathfinder six and twin-six cars | ‘“There is & vast difference, however, | between woman's suffrage in polities and on automobile row. In polities all women ask for is equal rights with men. | On motor row, when it comes to buying, | there ia not a man alive who can hops to win one-half the influence of the average woman. Woman rules when it comes to selecting the car. This was not so true befors the days of the electric starter| and the other improvements which have | mads the motor car more docile in the hands of the gentler sex. Now that! there is no particular trick to drive a| gasoline car women have come to almost | generally demand them and this means | that they have a way of saying a great | deal when the subject of a new car is discussion within the family | regard the electric starter as the ome thing which has made it possible for a woman to operate a car with practically no Inconvenience. I should say that the electrio starter is one-half of the reason why women are dominating the continu- ous cavalcade of motor cars which move up and down the streets of our cities and across every country road. Difticulties Are Eliminated. “There ‘were two things which used to make it hard for a woman to operate & car. One was the difficulty of starting the motor. The other was the difficulty of shifting gears and the danger arising from choking the motor. ‘“When the six-cylinder car came along “Bix of Bixteen" is | Popular in Omaha| The ‘six of sixteen’ cars at the price In popularity,” T.

Six cylinders did not choke so easily and alleviated a great deal of gear shifting. “A ‘mew .influence recently has been arguing in favor of feminipe operation of motor cars, namely, the advent of the multiple cylinder motor. “Do you realize that the coming of the valve-in-head cylinder motor spells the death knell of gear shifting? “It has been shown beyond a shadow of doubt that one can drive a twelve-cylin- der motor car practically all day without touching the shifting lever. “The Pathfinder company recently made some very exhaustive experiments with ‘Pathfinder the Great,’ our new twelve. We took the car with its full quota of seven passengers over the worst hills in Brown county, Indlana. The initial trip consumed the greater part of the day. During that day we entountered mud al- most hub deep; we took hills that last year would have called for the lowest oars on the average good car. We even came to a dead stop on one particularly bad hill just about half way up, and then acoblérated from this standing start on ‘Mgh.’ At the top we werdfshowing bet- ter than thirty miles an hour: In Crowded Stréets. J “ ‘Pathfinder the Great' has gone through the crowded Chicago loop at the 6 o'clock hour and the gears were never once shifted out of high. Everywhere one of these cars has done similar stunts, and have been pulled off successtully, “Coupled with abeolute dependability of the present electric starter the gasoline car has become quite as much a woman's as the most obedient électric, and it is & great deal safer, becauss it can ac- celerate out of danger's way a great deal more. nimbly. “The Pathfinder company of Indianap- olis will during the early spring months send & ‘Pathfinder the Great' stock: car from New York to San Francisco in high gear. The car will be stripped of all its gears except high and reverse."

When the structures are com- pleted the company will have a total of over €00,000 square feet devoted exclustvely to the manufacture of roller bearings.
