Nebraska Hotel Men Will Gather in Omaha Thursday A crowd of good fellows and up- to-the-minute business men are going to get together in Omaha Thursday and Friday. Those are the dates as- signed for the meeting of the Ne- braska Hotel association, and more than 200 men are expected to attend the convention and help to solve the problem of becoming better hosts to a wealthier and more populous Ne- braska. Omaha's hotel men, those genial landlords whom we have always with us, are going to chaperone the party. Their idea of superintending a con- vention is set forth in a proclamation reading: “The town is yours on September 21 and 22. You will not be permitted to pay for a thing if the Omaha hotel men see you first.” The program of entertainment in- cludes “round table” talks, auto rides, theater parties, banquets, dinners and smokers. Pleasures, however, must mingle with simon-pure business dur- ing the two days. Present problems, like hotel rates, hotel help and the relation of food prices to the business, will be treated in papers to be read by members. R. D. McFaddan, Wellington Inn, is president-of the“state association and I. A, Medlar of Omaha is its sec- retary-treasurer. P. E. Philbin is chairman of the arbitration commit- tee. Hope to Improve Young Boy's Morals By an Operation The surgeon’s scalpel will be brought into play at the request of juvenile authorities to improve the morals and brighten the future of a boy, when Glen Gibson, a sturdy youth of 17, will go on the operating table for the removal of adenoids and tonsils. Gibson was sentenced to serve ninety days in the county jail when he appeared in police court on a vagrancy charge growing out of his association with undesirable companions. After being confined in the county bastile his case was inves- tigated by Probation Officer Miller and Juvenile Judge Leslie. Conferences with a doctor re- sulted in the decision to give the youth a fresh start by removal of obstructions that have deterred his intellectual progress since he was a tot. Gibson, large for his age, has agreed to the operation rather than serving the time in jail. After his recovery he will be placed in the cus- tody and care of a friendly farmer.

NAMES PUT IN BIG BOOK By A. R. GROH. The days of chivalry, we are told, are dead. They are. We know it and we are glad of it. Sir Roderick Nom d'Un Chien Castle-Chateau no longer rides up and dow. the country in his nobby spring suit of sheet iron, seeking out the person who dares to deny that his lady Amc.osa de Beaulicu is the most altogether beautiful. Sir Roderick Nom d'Un Chien Cas- tle-Chateau sometimes married his lady and she lived unhappily ever afterward until such time as Sir Rod- erick very chivalrously had her strangled or suffocated or beheaded. That kind of chivalry is dead and we are glad that the late Don Quis ote de la Mancha was unable to r vive it 'Tis Different Now. There is another kind of chivalry that is alive today. Men don't ride about in armor breathing “s'death and s'blood.” They practice their chiv- alry differcnlf . They m}my their wives and daughters automobiles and talking machincs and silks and satins and chocolates. They build them fine homes and take them to Califor- nia and Europe, and cverything.

There’s an excellent reason for this condition. The Chalmers Company has a young army of eagle-eyed inspectors who take great pride in finding . afault in a car when it comes out of the plant. -~ This costs just $250,000 a year in cold cash —just one quarter of a mil- lion dollars a year to “catch the little things.” 1 firmly believe that most factories would let *“go by” nine cars out of ten that the Chalmers inspectors waylay. It sounds like a lot of money, but when a company maintains the slo:m of “Quality First” and bases a $56,000,000 business on the quality idea, then it becomes quite clear. I 1 firmly believe that three times $250,000 is returned to the cash drawer of the Chalmers Company every year through such a policy. It certainly makes I am handling territory ever absorbed before. selling a Chalmers car ath And that accounts for the “run” on the car.

Chalmers in forty minutes. These Cars were all made and delivered before summer rolled around. Then 10,000 more were added. These were taken up during the summer months. Now 20,000 more are coming through. That means that this model will be continued without change in design into next season. It also means a $56,000,000 business. Which is twice more than the most optimistic Chalmers executive ever dared dream. The quality in the car is the answer.
