will have separate exhibits.
No more fitting stage could be secured
for this exhibition Of the beautifully de-
signed and finished cars Of the leading
European automobile builders than the
ballroom Of the Astor. over 5000 square
feet Of floor space is available and the
decorations are superb. In the latter re-
spect there is nothing Of anywhere near
it's size I'm America or abroad to compare
with It. An orchestral organ, one OF the
largest in the world, is feature OF this
splendid ballroom and VIII be largely
used in the musical programme, rendered
during the salon.
The various makes of automobiles to be
exhibited are the c. G. V, Darracq, DE

SEEK TWO-CYCLE MOTOR
Manufacturers Think This the
Next Step in Development.

When. II ever, is the perfect two-cycle
motor 90 come? a good many automobile
manufacturers would give a pretty penny
for decisive answer TO that question, be
cause If the perfect two-cycle motor ever
does arrive every internal combustion en-
CINE in existence. to-day which depends On
the use OF valves or sliding sleeves will at
that moment become a back number.
Tho ideal two-cycle motor will be the
simplest power maker the world has ever
seen. its working parts will consist simply
or a piston, a craukshaft and the connect,
ing rod between the two. To this may be
added merely an intake system which shall
admit the fresh gas. This intake must not
be. sctuated by>a poppet valve or anything
resembling IL.
But first and foremost the ideal two-cycle
motor must not suffer from any lack Of
fresh gas, and it must scavenge practically
Gil Of its burnt gas
Up 10 the present no two-cycle motor
has been able TO do perfectly the two
things that have Just been mentioned.
Neither have they been able 10 "idle" with
out load and at the same time hit with
all. cylinders
The ideal two-cyiinder will scsyenge com.
pletely, which not even the best four-cycis
motors DO now. The result will be per-
feet explosive mixture which. as 1t will b.
purer than is the case to-day with any
other motor, will produce greater power
than any corresponding cylinder dmen-
sions can now show.
IT, in addition 10 the foregoing, the ide1l
two-cyele motor has a much longer pistoa
stroke than is now possible, q marvellous
revolution in the motor world will have
been accomplished

DANGERS IN CRANMNG PLAN FOR PALACE SHOW
Statistics Show That BaIky En-
uineS Injure Many. !

approximately half the automobile acct
dents result from cranking. This informa-
ton was received yesterday by the A. +
Ranney Company, the Hudson distributors,
from the Hudson Motor Car Company, Of
Detroit, which announced the completion Of
a nine months tabulation of the various
causes for automobile accidents.
One source Of authoritative information
was the leading accident insurance institu-
ton in the United States. which allowed
claims on $50 accidents. 37S OF which re-
suited from crankng.
That the advent Of the self-starter means
the Punishment Of possibilities of accidents
is certain, the new self-starting Hudson
"33" being one OF the cars that have abol-
ished the offences OF the treacherous crank.
"Cranking of automobiles" said S. S.
Toback, seems TO be dangerous form Of
exercise. the average injury being severe
enough to warrant the payment OF about
500 for each case. That danger has been
abolished by Hudson owners, and these
winter months have always been unusually
heavy in cranking accidents, because OF
the usual stiffness Of motors. The Hudson
self-starter Is equally efficient in summer
OF winter"
The self-starting Hudson "35' has been
part of the crusade against the crank, and
the little but mighty self-starter on How
ard f.. Collins newest car has proved itself
as reliable in winter as 1t is in summer.
This was proved long before il was O. KID
bv Mr. Coffin for his car. The way its
winter efficiency was proved was by means
of a number of cold storage tests. The
seIf-stsrting Hudson 80" was allowed to
remain in a cold storage room, where the
temperature was far below freezing, for an
entire week. Then the starter button was
messed, and the motor instantly responded.

Seventeen different makes Of foreign
built automobiles will be exhibited at the
importers automobile salon, which Is to
be held at the Hotel Aston, from Jan

managed the salon last year and made it
such a pronounced success. IS at the helm
again this season.
AS the name salon implies. the forth
coming exhibition Of foreign built auto

Both Passenger and Commercial
Vehicles To Be Seen.

New York's latest and finest exhibition
building will have its first introduction TO
the motor car buying public when the forth
coming show of the National Association of
Automobile Manufacturers opens at the new
Grand Central Palace on January 10. The

10th TO 47th street will be devoted 20 dis
playing motor vehicles and accessories from
January 10 TO II.
The vehicles TO be shown will include
both passenger and commercial types OF
cars While the majority will have gaso-
lene engines, there will be a number of
electrically propelled cars. some Of the pas
senger variety and some intended for bust
ness uses. The list OF manufacturers who
have engaged space includes the names of
some Of the Older makers, as we'll as a
number Of firms that have come into ma
tional prominence during the last few years.
S A. Miles, general manager OF the Ma
tional Association of Automobile Manu-
facturers and manager Of the Palace show,
has gone to Chicago 10 attend to some q
the final details OF the National Association
OF Automobile Manufacturers show In the
Coliseum and LIST Regiment Armory there.
The Chicago show will be held soon after
the close of the Palace exhibition, and
Miles is also manager Of the Western show.
The work of preparing the decorations for
the Palace is well under way, and will be
completed some time before the opening
on January TO-
While no radical changes In either de-
sign or construction are likely to be seen
in any of the cars exhibited. the number OF
improvements and retinements that will
be found on vehicles exhibited at the Pal
ace show makes il certain that the ma
jority Of buyers will not make their final
selections until after visiting the National
Association of Automobile Manufacturers

not appear, however, either from the
record or from the briefs or argu-
ments of counsel, that, if such a re-
mand should be made, any different
state of facts from those found by the
trial court would be disclosed.
Contention is made by counsel for

upon the facts shown by the record
and found by the court that on ac-
count Of the failure of defendant
Raidabaugh to pay the amount due
on his contract, his rights in the
premises were forfeited, and that de-
fendant Smith elected to, and did, re-
scind the contract for the conveyance
of the lots and take possession there
Of None of the defendants claim to
have rendered to defendant Raida-
baugh deed of conveyance to the

contract would be rescinded, and de-
fendant Raidabaugh was entitled to
reasonable time after notice in which
to make the required payments. Gra-
ham V. Merchant, 43 Or, 305. To de-
scribe The matter briefly, the affairs
OF The Oregon Land Company were
in chaotic state, and the real trou-
BILE is that Raidabaugh paid the COM
pany too much. 1t was his right and
duty to protect himself by withhold
ing from the contract price a suffi-
cient amount to pay Mrs. Watson for
the release of her mortgage upon the
lots according to the terms thereof,
and his failure to do this was un-
doubtedly on account of relying upon
the Land Company to convey title to
him, according to its agreement ex-
pressed in the contract of sale. Hav-
ing knowledge of the mortgage, this
he did at his peril Jackson v. Con-
dict, 81 N. ]. Eq, 522.
The mortgage from defendant D.
M. Smith to The Oregon Land Com
pany was given, 1t is shown for the
purpose of being transferred to Mrs.

less than that due upon Raidabaugh's
contract, 1t should be cancelled. The

los. Regarding this point Mr.. Jus
tice Bean, in Frink V. Thomas, 20 Or,
265, says: When the vendor by his
contract to convey has not affirma-
lively provided that time shall be of
the essence of the contract, a court
of equity will ordinarily infer that
interest on the deferred payments
would be a sufficient compensation
for the delay Compensation, and
not forfeiture, is a favorite maxim
with a court Of equity. Getting Knott
v. Stephens, 5 Or, 235; Brock V. Ridy,
IL Oh. St, S06 King v. Buckman, 20
N. j. Eq., 316) Although
there is no stipulation in the contract
that time shall be essential nor any,
thing in the nature or circumstances
of the agreement to make it so, it
could nevertheless have been so made
by tender of performance on the
part of the plaintiff and demand of
payment As a general
rule, the party who asks for the re-
session of contract for the sale of
real estate must be himself without
fault, and when as in this case the
payment of the purchase money and
the making or tender of the deed are
to occur simultaneously, they are re-

garded as mutual and concurrent
acts, which disable either party from
putting an end to the contract with
out performance or a valid offer to
perform on his part; and so for as the
question of time is concerned, both
parties, after the day provided for the
consummation, may be considered
equally in default and neither can
hold himself discharged from the
obligation of complete performance
until he has rendered performance on
his own side and demanded it on the
other"
In so far as shown by the findings
of the court and the record, this lam
guage is peculiarly applicable to the
case now under consideration. It
was incumbent upon defendant Smith,
when he insisted that Raidabaugh
was in default to such an extent as to
entitle him to have the contract re-
scinded, to allege and prove that he
had rendered Raidabaugh a deed of
conveyance of the land, according to
the terms of the agreement, and de-
manded performance on the part of
the latter. Frink v. Thomas, supra.

abough that unless the money was
