A Boston young man had married a
Chicago girl and they had started on
their wedding tour. Despite-or perhaps
because Other studied efforts to ap-
pear ike old married folks" their fell
low passengers on the railway train had
no difficulty in chasing them as bride
and bridegroom and manifested their
knowledge by winks. mods and grins.
An unfortunate accident to the dining
car compelled the conductor to leave II
on the side track at a small station, and
it was several hours before the train
stopped for refreshments at a town where
there was restaurant near the paSsen-
ger station.
1t was by no means a first class res
taUranL but the travellers had a first
class appetite, and they swarmed into it.
With some difficulty the bride and bride
groom found seats and presently d wait

Where's your bill Of fare?' asked the
young man.

Chicago and that YOU are from Boston?''

springs, which have in turn. softened
the vibrations and very much helped
out the riding qualities of the respec-
tive cars. The lighter weight of the
past two years has also done much to
better the spring action and there is
much evidence that in future, comfort
rather than mere speed, will take pre-
cedence.
There is also to be seen a tendency
toward larger wheel sizes. The fact is
slowly being recognized that the cycle
was not the predecessor of the motor
car and that cycle practice, such as
wire wheels and smaller tires, was a
mistake. The former was quickly
learned but the latter has been a SLOW
er lesson.
Not only In wheel sizes but in tires
do we find an increase. Quite a num-
Der have increased the tire section in
spite of the rising price of rubber.
These are but few of the visible
changes for the coming year which in
dictate the trend

112; the Glide has jumped from LOG to
120, while the SpeedwelI has only rails
ed from 800 to 1919; the Austin has
raised from $50 to 1874. while the REQ
has also raised TO 10S, from something
like 100 last year.
This lengthening OF base has gone
| forward with shortening of motors in
many cases. The tendency seems 10
be toward lighter motors, and with all
the cylinders cast in a separate piece.
instead as in most cases, separately.
This makes the motors shorter and
does not require so much room in the
bonnets. This leaves more room for
passengers, and the length of base has
been used to the passengers benefit in
several ways. In some cases the bod
les have been heightened and more leg
room provided. In others the seats for
the rear passengers have been brought
forward and gotten in front of the rear
axle where the riding is easie This
axle where the riding is easier. This
more easy entry to the tonneau. In
other cases the extra room has been
given to hooded dashes which by ex-
tending backward over the drivers

number of novelties not likely to
cheaper the product but rather to add
to the cost and righteousness. So on
every hand the upwardly swinging
pendulum is to be seen. The buyer
who expects to purchase this coming
year will do well to get his order in
early
The economizing period through
which the industry has just passed
taught the value o. light weight. The
reduced tire and maintenance expenses
of the lighter cars has been very
marked and has done much to widen
the range of buyers.
Because of these things we find
wheel bases again moving forward 1t
seemed as though these had reached
the extreme and would follow a down
ward course but aside from the short
coupled town cars this seems not to
be the case Thus the Moline touring

Motorists always wait with impa
tience the opening OF automobile

vulged for the first time. Just what
the big list of exhibitors at the Grand

Several things have conspired to
force the season of 1910 to the front
and permit at this date a better view
of the coming year than is usual at this
period of the year. The shortage Of
goods during the past summer cleared
the factories and permitted the new
product to come out sooner. The alb
sence OF vehicles on the sales floors Of
agents caused them to ask for the new
product instead of asking that 1t be
held back till the old ones were sold
Several interesting and pleasant
things are to be seen in this early view
Of the industry.
The foreign market has been under
going more or less of a revolution and
France, once the center OF things auto
mobile, has given way to England,
and turned her attention TO aeronaut-

How to Make Better
Cough Syrup Than You
Can Buy.

A full pint of cough syrup
enough to last family a long
time-can be made by the rec
ipe given below in Ave minutes,
for only "a cents. Simple as 1t
is, there is nothing better at
any price. It usually stops a
deep-seated cough in "a hours
and is a splendid household
remedy for whooping cough,
colds, hoarseness, bronchitis,
etc.
Take a pint of granulated
sugar, add one-half pint warm
water and stir about two min
utes. Put 21s ounces Pinex
in a pint bottle and fill up with
syrup. Take teaspoonful ev-
cry one, two or three hours.
1t keeps perfectly and the taste
is pleasing.
The chemical elements of
pine which are very healing to
membranes, are obtained in
high proportion in Pinex. the
most valuable concentrated
compound of Norway white
pine extract. None of the
weaker pine preparations will
work with this recipe. Your
druggist has Pinex or can cas-
lily get 1t for you.
Strained honey can be used
instead of the syrup, and makes
a very fine honey and pine tar
cough syrup.
