space than any other dealer at the com
ing show He viii have on display one
of every model turned out by the Peer
less factory this season.
One of the features of the exhibit
twill be the close coupled Peerless, which
has become so popular for touring. The
car is so well adapted for an outing
that many have bought il for the eX-
press purpose of taking a long tour.
The extra space for trunks and the op-
portunity OF carrying a large amount
of baggage makes the car popular.
There will be number of handsome
cars at the Los Angeles show. It prom
ises to be even more beautiful and at
tractive than was the exhibit in Feb
ruary Details of the show will be

NEW STUDEBAKER
CAR HAS ARRIVED
Latest Model Will Be Used by
President Taft While in
Oakland

Surprising its predecessors in many
features which are decided improve
ments the latest model from the Stude-
baker automobile factory, known as
the CT" arrived in this city yester-
day. The initial appearance of the car
viii be next Tuesday morning, when
President Taft steps from his private
train at the Oakland pier and into the
tonneau Of the new car During the
entire time that President Taft is in
Oakland he viii have this machine at
his disposal. an event which viii prove
OF great interest TO many automobile
enthusiasts
Despite the many improvements that
have been incorporated IN this latest
Studebaker creation the car is in no
sense of the word freakish," state the
Studebaker officials. In general ap-
pearance- and elegance of construction
the CT is a decided innovation. Com
fort and elegance are everywhere appa-
rent. The body lines are large, with
roomy tonneau doors. The extra seats
are OF the full Pullman type. When not
in use they may be folded forward, the
floor Of the car and the back of the
front seats being so arranged that
when the seats are folded forward they
are flush with the floor. The change
can be made with three movements Of
the hand.
Larger and considerably heavier
than those on the preceding models,
the platform springs also come in for
Improvement. Another new feature of
the new car is the gear change. If the
car is being driven at so miles per hour
on the fourth gear. the operator can
shift back to the third gear without
a sound.
The new car carries an electric light
ing equipment besides the regular gas
equipment A separate electric gen
orator. gear driven, mounted on the mo-
tor base, generates the current for all
FIVE lamps. Oil may also be used in the
side lamps. The electric lights may be
switched on and off by push buttons un-
der the operators seat

TIRE INDUSTRY FEELS
SHORTAGE OF RUBBER
Pure Material Now Worth a
Third as Much as Silver

AKRON, O.. Oct "A shortage of
rubber throughout the world is Great
ing an alarming condition in the auto
mobile industry, and especially in the
tire manufacturing branch. Two ad-
vances in tire prices have been made
within the last SO days. Today an
ounce of rubber washed and prepared
for manufacturing is worth a third as
much as an ounce of pure silver, and
the price is TO advance
In February, 1908, para rubber gum
sold as low as g. cents pound. Since
that time il has been steadily advance
ing. through the influence of renewed
business demand and the efforts of the
rubber gathering syndicates. until It
has reached the record price of $215 a
pound, with very little to be had even
at tat figure.
The present shortage is partially at
tributed TO the demand from tire
makers. whose output this year
amounts to nearly $4,000. 900, with a
probable production of $4,000, 900 next
year. Rubber tires now lead all other
manufactured articles in the consump-
ton of the best rubber gum

ELMORf WINS THE
MUNSEY CONTEST
Two Cycle Motor Car Captures
Big Automobile Endurance
Run in the East

A. J. Smith, Pacific coast agent for
the Elmore. was more than enthusiastic
over his two cycle car yesterday He
had just received telegram from the
east to the effect that the Elmore en-
tered in the Munsey contest, sealed
bonnet run from Washington to Bos-
ton and return, had completed the 1852
miles without single point being
scored against IL, and that it was the
only car in the contest to make such a
record. Another point that made the
victory more striking was the fact
that the car was driven by Frank
Hardart Jr of Philadelphia, a private
owner.
The White company is making elab-
crate plans for its exhibit at the auto
. mobile show. The
fxUh,ta cor. space will be oc-
forthe show cupied by a COM
. plete line of both
the steam and gas
oline models, and including polished
chassis, limousines and the various
other styles of bodies.
General Manager c. A. Hawkins gives
out the information that arrangements
are being perfected to ship the White
machines for the exhibition in special
express cars from Cleveland next week.
Such a procedure is a large expense, but
the White company realizes the i'm
portance of an automobile show and
considers an interesting exhibit a good
investment
The 1910 White motor cars are Great
ing unusual interest among the auto
mobile buyers and Hawkins predicts
that the sale of these cars at the com
ing show will far surpass any previous
White record. Hawkins has had com
munications from all his Pacific coast
agents and they all plan TO attend the
