been able 10 report so many sales. In
al there have been no less than fifty
machines sold in six weeks. OF course.
all Of these have not yet left the fac

have been registered so far. one reason
why the lists at the District Building
do not show all of the machines Is be
cause many Of the owners live just over
the District line and others have more
than one machine. In the sales fer the
SIX weeks the machines that went the
fastest were TOledos, Cadillacs. ST. Lou

II is expected that there is going TO
be large attendance at the meeting
this evening IN the Office of Fulton R
Gordon. at 613 Fourteenth Street, when
arrangements are TO be perfected for
some sort of an organization for the
protection of autoists. Ii is not the in
tention of the men who are tcnind the
movement 10 find fault with any Of the
authorities at present, for it is recog-
nized that the speed ordinance is not vet
working smoothly for any class Of those
concerned Neither is it the intention
OF the owners OF machines to try and
obtain permission to go beyond the
speed limits. Some action may be
taken, however, that will result in the
autoasts enjoying the liberty which is
extended TO other classes of vehicles in
the city.
