NATIONAL AUTO SHOW
TO Be HELD IN JANUARY
Madison Square Garden to Be
Remodeled for Commercial
and Pleasure Vehicles

Preparations are in full blast for the
Eleventh National Automobile show.
IN he held in Madison Square garden
January 7 to 81, 1911. Although the
show is some three months distant,
the details are so many that early
preparations are necessary to bring
matters to q successful conclusion,
and the show committee, consisting OF
Col. George Pope, chairman; charles
clifton, Alfred Reeves and Merle l..
Downs, secretary, are busy every
minute.
plans for the remodeling of the in
terior of Madison Square garden have
been completed. Already men are lay
ing the concrete bases for the Struc-
tural steel work which will be used
throughout the building. The steel
work will be the main support or the
elevated platforms and will add
tone of solidity to the amphltheater.
The raised platforms Will be EXTENDED
to the aisle of the main floor thus
forming a roof for the spaces in the
outer ring. The front balcony similar
lv will be extended. Complete cars
will be shown on the main floor raised
platform and balcony of the amphi-
theater, and in the exhibition hall at
the right of the entrance and in the
basement.
All that is new or old in the access
sory line will be on exhibition on the
outside of the raised platform and
first balcony nearest to the walls of
the building, in the second balcony
and in the concert hall.
The forthcoming show will be divided
into two parts, one of which will be
devoted entirely to passenger or pleas
ure vehicles. This will be known as
part 1 and will be held during the
week of January to IA. Part 2, which
will be devoted to commercial or
freight carrying vehicles, electric
carriages and motorcycles will be
held during the period of January 16
to 21. Just how the show. manage
ment plans to "clean house" for part
2 in the short space of time between
the two shows is hard to understand,
but this difficult task will be properly
engineered and carried out successfully
and everything will be in place when

FILLING UP FLOAT HOLES

Look out for a punctured float. The
only thing to do is to solder the leak
when empty. and it may be discovered
by the overflow of gasoline and con-
sequent increase in the richness OF
the mixture, and very likely a notice.
able smell of gasoline. Examine at
once, or you may lose all your gasoline.
After soldering float it may be nee
essary to adjust the lever if the solder
has materially increased the weight.
If gasoline overhows from the inside
of the carburetor when the car is
standing, and the needle is set prop
erIy, the needle wants grinding into
the setting. Do this as you would a
valve, with the utmost care, and wipe
off every bit of emery after, previous
ly disconnecting your gasoline pipe
to prevent any getting in. Make sure
your fuel pipe doesn't rub against
anything, and that it does not unduly
vibrate. II it does. it should be Sc
cured at intervals to some fixed part
of the chassis.

without any bulky appearance and
that the fore doors are demountable.
The new line of siX-cylinder cars

ment as the "30's." The models are
torpedoes, five-passenger close coupled,
seven-passenger touring cars and
limousines. The 6's are the result of
four years experimenting, and can

TESTING GASOLINE LEVELS

It is commonly supposed that if there
is q slight blob of gasoline upon the
top of the jet the gasoline level is about
right. AS matter of fact, this is really
no guide, as owing to the extreme
smallness of the hole through which
the gasoline capillary action is set up.
OF course, in the ordinary way there is
no need to bother about the gasoline
level. If the engine is running well,
and the fuel consumption not excessive,
it is better to leave things alone, but if
there is any necessity to test the gaso-
line level the right way to do it is with
an open pipe, and not the jet. The
thing to do Is to obtain a spare Jet
and to bore it out as large as possible
without cracking the sides Of the Jet
tube. The gasoline viii then stand at
It's natural level in it, and one can see
exactly what that level is.
