PARIS WILL HOLD
| AUTOMOBILE SHOW
Foreign Manufacturers Plan
ming to Exhibit Without
Assistance of Auto Club
By R. R. LHoMMED1Eu

By r. r. L'HOMMEDIEU
1t is evident that there will be an
automobile show in France next year.
Reports give out the information that
| the reason that there was no show this
year was the fact that the automobile
I manufacturers did not care to show in
an exhibition given by the Automobile
Club of France, as the latter made 1t
too costly proposition for the manu-
| facturers. But the success of the Eng
llish show was felt by the French trade.
and resulted in the formation OF a
French automobile manufacturers asso-
citation, organized for the purpose of
giving a show.
When this was announced the club
also came out with the proposition that
| they would also hold an exhibition, and
it is said that most of the exhibitors
of the latter would come from manu-
| facturers who make parts.
The club to further strengthen this
exhibition also purposes TO combine the
event with an aeronautical exhibition.
This, however. will bring it in conflict
with those who held the exhibition of
Iaeroplanes last year, and who are now
purposfng to hold their second annual
event.
| One fact remains, that France, and
Paris in particular, is to have an auto
mobile and also an aeronautical exhibit
tion, but whether it will be the manu-
/ facturers or the club is a question that
| time only can settle, and one that will
/ be watched with interest by the motor
world at large. The stand taken by the
club will mean considerable to motor
car industry abroad. Its members and
controlling spirits are numbered among
the big men of Frence, especially in
political way, and it means that if all
interested do not work together,
through the club, laws may be enacted
which will seriously affect motoring in
France.

There were several other manufactur-

the reason that they considered them
the quickest and safest on the market

hit mountain lion
on the public road few miles north !
of San Diego. The first shot brought |
the big cat down, but he regained his
feet and made a dash down the road |
with Lord in hot pursuit and firing
when he could get in range. The lion, !
as If realizing the futflity of further |
attempt at escape, turned at bay and |
Lord stopped his machine. Lord then |
struck the beast between the eyes with |
his gun and the chase was ended. The |
lion measured five feet from tip to tip. |
J. W. Ware and wife, recent purchasers |
of an EMF vouch for the story,sas !
Lord was plotting them from Los Ange- |

new car over a distance of 1871 miles |
was covered in six hours fiat. The |
engine never missed a shot and no tools |
were used on the trip.
