WHITE STEAMER ADMIRED

n ECAUSE of the recent publicity
II given the White car as a result
~ of number of rather sensational
racing events, including a number in
competition with Barney Oldfield, the
exhibit of this car was never without
its crowding admirers, who were anx-
lous to catch a glimpse of the hand
some models offered to show visitors
for 1909
There are five cars included in the
exhibit, ranging from the lightest of
runabouts to the heavy touring cars
and including the medium weight road
sterS.
AS in 1907 and 1908 the White steam
cars for this year will be built in two
distinct models which, while differing
from each other widely in power, in
size and in price, resemble each other
III their general lines of construction.
The larger of the new White cars
will be known as the model M and
will be the successor of the model X
of the past season. Model M is rated
at forty steam horse power. The
wheel base is 122 inches, the front tires
3ex4 inches and the rear tires 36x5
inches. The car is regularly fitted
with a straight line. seven-passenger
body. The engine is compound, of new
design The smaller of the new White
cars will be known as the model o.

sents what is a great portion of auto
mobilitsts.
Very few of the large army of owners
can be classed as experts, and it is
admitted that half the joy of motoring
is lost when one is afraid to trust one
self at the wheel. With the medium
powered car of light weight the average
owner can proceed without a chauffeur,
because it is built to the highest de-
gree of simplification.

MEDIUM PRICES URGED

Were any agument needed to show
the status Of the medium powered car,
a digest of the Paris Salon would offer
convincing evidence. Practically every
European manufacturer of automobiles
has fallen in line, and now lists a ma
chine such as the public demands as
essential to their needs, in addition to
their regular high powered lines
For several years past the public has
been gradually weaving itself away
from the more expensive high powered
creations, and this has been greatly
helped by the strides which many man
ufacturers have made in the matter OF
production. Nor has this been from d
standpoint of economy alone, for thou

ID ECAUSE of the reputation that the
N famous Burleit has made in Eu-
ropean motor circles the Ameri-
canlzed type of this machine, when
is being shown at the show as the
product of the American Locomotive
company, is coming in for it's full
share of admirers, not only because
of its very handsome lines and it's ap-
pearance of speed and comfort, but also
because of the fact that the machine
has fifty million dollar company be-
hind it. That a great locomotive

straWs in the industry today, indicat-
ing as 1T does an assurance on the part
of this great concern that the automo-
bile future is before it, and that as al
institution the motor car has come to
stay. A number of cars are exhibited,
which average up we'll with anything
showed by any other exhibitors, and
there is little doubt that this company's
name plate will shortly be a familiar
sight on the streets of Los Angeles
and other Southern California cities.

Dress Fashions Present
Old Styles in Really New Forms

An all-over design in soutache was
used in trimming the ~overbodice and
%polonaise, while a heavy braided orna-
ment made of the silk. chiffon and
braid was used in the form of a clasp
at the centre back, fastening the ends
together.
Another enchanting polonaise which
is merely nothing more han a sash
about eighteen inches in width, is made
of a straight piece of material match
ing the dress or one of the transpar-
ent chiffon cloths.
1t is tackled to the dress slightly above
the waist line, for the high waist line
in front, at least, is still worm, and
only covers on an average form a dis
lance of about eight inches, says the
writer in the Philadelphia Press.
From this point the ends fall gently
over the hips and are caught at knee
depth in a sash bow tied in the quaint
old-fashioned style of our grandmoth-

with hanging ends.
