tional Association OF Automobile ManufRc-
turers and manager OF the associations
annual exhibition OF motor vehicles and
accessories, to be held in Chicago from
February to ~. Is making great plans for
the decoration OF the Coliseum, the Coliseum
annex and the First Regiment Armory,
/ which will be used to house the exhibits.
Mr.. Miles says the carrying out OF the
decorative plans will require 4 greater out
lay OF money than for any previous motor
! car show In this country. He expects.
however. to provide show in Chicago that
will surpass any other ever held either In
| this country or abroad.
Arrangements have been made to pro-
| vide q timberland odor to the Coliseum
which is to be decorated In semblance OF a
| forest, by burning incense similar to that
used in Hudson Bay theatrical production
by Robert Edeson few years ago TO make
those in the audiences think they we're in a
pine country. The Coliseum annex. which
Is to be fitted out as a rose garden from
| basement to second floor, Is to be scented
with rose water. while a rustic atmosphere
will be provided for the First Regiment
Armory. which will be decorated on a diff
ferent plan from both the Coliseum and the
annex.
The forest decorations for the. Coliseum
win be very elaborate There wih'be four
centre sections on the main floor. On the
dividing line running north and south a
running fountain will be placed near the
centre of each section; to the north and
south a tree: on eachside OF the tree a brick
pillar surmounted by vases. each pillar
bearing two lamps. In the space between
- l. kA n
supported by two brick pillars surmounted
by vases. A tree in full growth will be
placed at the end OF each section nearest
the gallery and there will be q circular picket
fence mounted on q brick bas at the other
end. The spaces between those sections
will be occupied by iron fencing nine feet
high, with a circular fence surrounding
each tree.
The spaces OF the exhibitors will be
divided by iron ratings, ending in pillars,
which will be surmounted by vases. Rows
Of box or bay trees will mark the aisle
lines. The vases are TO be hlled with fiow-
ers and folia go and the pillars will be COW
cred with vines. Eight trees sixty feet
high and four trees twenty feet high are
to be installed in front and extending under
the gallery. The forest effect will also be
carried out In the gallery. bay trees will be
used and the walls covered by scenery.

since the decision sustaining the selden
automobile the above dealers haye be;
fully as to the Importance OF buying only
those cars that are licensed: They state
! that buyers OIL SuCn cars arc LEco IIOhu any
! possibility Of legal entan dement, that they
have a broader neld In which to dispose OF
their cars when buying new ones. and more
over that they possess q car for which
parts can be obtained at any time. whereas
the buyer OF a car made by an unlicensed
| concern may meet the serious obstacle of
seeing the company pass out of existence
| in a short time.
IL is understood that the formation of the
| proposed Licensed Automobile Dealers OF
New York is the ioIerunner Of similar
| associat tions in all Of the big cities of the
