opinion was that in the main Ari

seemed DESTROYS of operating. One
notable deficiency was the collection
OF the brand tax which. however,

The result OF the meeting was the

motion was made by John Duke uf

De PALMA'S ROAD CROWN
ItaIian-AmeriCan Driver Was
Champion of Year.
WON FOUR BIG CONTESTS
Tetzlaff Second, Through Win
ming Three Races Out of
Half Dozen Starts.

To Ralph De Palma must be awarded
the 1912 road racing championship. For
several seasons past he has been ac-
knowiedged the mile track champion. but
during the present year De Palma did no
mile lirt track driving. and instead went
out for the road championship. Viewed
from any angle. there IL no questioning
his right to the title. for he started In
more road races and won more victories
than any other driver.
out OF five starts he scored four first
pIaces-the light car race at Santa
Monica the Elgln national trophy race,
the Elgin free-for-all. and his greatest
victory OF the season. the Vanderbilt cup
race. The only race in America in which
he fell short Of victory was In the Grand
Prix. al Milwaukee. in which. while run
ninC second. he colllded with Caleb Bragg
the winner. on the last lap.
Tho only road race Of the year in which
De Palma dt1 not start was at Tacoma.
Next 10 De Palma IN the number Of road
victories Is Teddy Tctzlaff. who won the
Santa Monica free-for-all, the Tacoma
freo-for-au and the Tacoma heavy car
race Tetzlafr. however. entered six biz
races.
De Palma's only appearances aside from
the road races mentioned were at the
os Angeles motordrome. where he broke
worlds records for the 20O-iuch class from
one To twenty miles. and won other
events ard IN thc memorable 5o-miie
race nj indianapolis. Followers Of rae
ing are familiar with the story OF how
De Palma began breaking all worfis
speedway records at the fifty-mlle mark
and kept on breaking them until the
47jth They also recall how he was pre-
pairing for a whirlwind finish and
5000 victory whom on next TO the last lap
he was eliminated by a broken piston and
had 10 relinqulsh the victory to Dawson.
Up TO the time hc was eliminated De
Palma's average had been better than
eighty-onc miles an hour
In the Elgin. Vanderbilt cup. Grand
Prix and Indianapolis races De Palma
drove a. Mercedes car owned by +. J.
Schroeder. an amateur sportsman Of Jer-
scy city, y. J. At Santa Monica he
plloted a 500 cubic inch class Mercer.
Contrary to rumors. following De Pal
mas unfortunate accident in the Grand
Prix race. the road champion will be
seen I'm big contests in 1918. At the time
DE Palma was breaking worlds tracH
records in former seasons the opinion was
voiced that a great track driver was
never good az road work. De Palma eX-
ploded this theory not only the last sea-
.on. but on previous read classics.

Engine Along Knight Lines
Makes Strong Impression
on Detroit Engineers.

At the meeting of the Detroit members
of the Society OF Automobile Engineers,
held in Detroit a few days ago, Lewis B.
Brown. with the assistance Of George
Ratclire. introduced a remarkable new
motor designed by Martin Fisher, of Zu-
rich, Switzerland. IL is OF an entirely
new design and one American maker has
already arranged 10 adopt IT, IL Is pre-
dicted that before 1914 models appear on
the market a number OF American man
facturers will be using the motor In their
cars. II is TO be known as the NJ A. O..
l. c. motor.
The distinctive feature OF this motor is
that with small bore and stroke II de-
velops power far in excess of many mo-
tors twice its size. II has a slide valve
mechanism, which suggests the Knight
motor. while il operates on a different
principle.
The motor has been tested out for more
than II, 600 miles OF actunl running on the
road and has been submitted TO most
exacting dynamometer tests IN the ex-
perimental laboratories OF the Hudson
Motor Car Company. Mr.. Brown extend
ed thanks to the various engineers OF the
Detroit branch for courtcsies extended In
connection with the trying out OF the
motor. among them those of the Packard.
Chalmers. Cadillac and Continental Mo-
tor COMPANY
The discussion OF the engineers was
based chiefly on the high compression OBJ
tanned in the motor and. furthermore.

BODY STYLES IN SALON
Forecast of What European
Builders Will Display.

The leadership in automobile body build

is concerned. is generally acknowledged
10 belong 20 Europe. On this account the
exhibition OF foreign cars held In Ne"
York each year is OF special interest, ar II
introduces all that is new in European
body design and construction.
That the coming Salon. which opens IN
the Hotel Astor on January q will be par
ticularly interesting. from this viewpoint,
is indicated by the comments made on
the body exhibits at the recent Olympia
Show in London and at the Paris Salon
which closes tonight.
or the many new designs and ideas
which the coming Salon will serve to IN
troduce TO American motorists, the SIX
passenger body, both for inclosed and
touring cars stands out prominently
This has three pairs of seats and makes
possible the narrow body necessary TO
secure the straight and slender lines,
which are now fashionable. In the case
OF inclosed cars this brings the body IN
side the rear wheels, doing away with the
old fashioned bulged back necessary WITH
the three passenger rear seat, and per-
mltting the side windows 10 drop entirely
down. This latter feature will tend TO
make the inclosed car more popular for
touring.
A pronounced new feature with inclosed
cars. which will be much In evidence al
the Salon, is the low. curved roof. THIS
does not mean that the bodies VIII hang
lower. for this is hardly possible but that
less head room Is provided.
The Salon will disclose decided tend
ency TO return TO conservative colors'
which means that the attempt OF year
ago to popularize fancy colors has fahed.
A new idea In this connection is to have
the running gear different color than
the body, usually a lighter shade. Tne
broad stripes Of last year have also given
way 10 fine stripping. The prevailing coiors
at the Salon will be maroons, blues ana
greens for lnclosed cars, and grays, with
some light reds, for touring models. Inc
upholstery will be deeper and softer thah
ever Fancy cloths are used almost ex-
clusively for limousnes, although there
will no one at least finished in velvet. For
interior decoration, inlaid woods. with
mahogany prevailing. are ultra-fashioh-

WILL BOOM AUTO SALES
John N. WiIIys Says Makers
Hope for Good Roads.
MUST ENLARGE MARKET
Toledo Manufacturer Is Greatly
Interested in Effort to Sc
cure Federal Aid.

Motor car manufacturers are watch
ing with a great deal of satisfaction the
advance OF the good roads idea through
out the United States" saws John n. Will
lys. president of the Willys-Overland
Company. OF Toledo. Their interest in
this work is only natural, for sooner or
later their success will depend, 10 a great
extent, on road conditions. The time will
come. and before many years. when the
question Of highways will be a mighty
important one with manufacturers.
Since the inception OF the industry
the mosf serious question has oeen to
supply the people with cars. There has
been a demand from almost every walk
I'm life for an automobile, from the high
priced product which is bought almost
solely as a sporting proposition, or for
the prestige such a possession will give
the wealthy owner, 10 the moderate
priced models which are bought for bust
ness purposes and by people OF moderate
means. Before long, with the present tire
mendous output the normal demand for
automobiles Will be satisfied, and then
the manufacturers will have TO look for
something 10 keep their product moving.
Good roads will do much 10 solve the
problem. Where there are now thou
sands OF persons throughout the coun-
try who are unwilling to purchase cars
because Of poor road conditions, in
few years, at the present rate of high
way improvement, all these thousands
VIII have become motor car users.
In other words, | believe that good. hard,
smooth roads, such as are being built
IN many states are among the best ar
guments for the automobile in the minds
of many prospective buyers
THE plan Of enlisting government as
sistance I'm the building of roads, as out
lined in the activities OF the Federal Aid
Good Roads Association. may prove one
of the greatest factors in the future Of
the industry. The object Of the organiza-
ton IS highly important one
Though the United States has taken
a world lead in the manufacture OF au-
tonobiles, il has been in spite OF her
highways, rather than because OF them.
The sooner these conditions are RENE
died-and they can be remedied properly
only by the enlistment OF federal forces
the sooner will the industry take the
forward leap that will place II among the
foremost commercial activities Of the uni
verse. With government assistance in
building good roads the United States
can greatly increase its lead in the in
dustry and add further to It's standing in
the commercial and manufacturing
world"

Big Increase Over 1911.

In spite of the fact that the bulk OF

months. the American Marion Sales Com
pany reports a big increase In December
business over the entire month year
AGO. The increase to date hx been more
than 200 per cent For the year the IN
crease I'm the sales OF Marion and Ameri-
can cars has been 176 per cent over the
