LOCAL AUTO SHOW
TO BE SUPERB
This Years Exhibition of Motor Cars
to Extend Over Period of
Two Weeks.
BY WILLIAM ULLMAN.

There is a grand treat in store for the
motor car enthusiasts OF the National
Capital.
Washingtonians who have the motor
car fever and for whom an auto show
provides a source of delight, as well
as an instructive evening among the
limousines, touring cars. roadsters,
coupes, &C, were denied the enjoyment
of a show in their home town last year.
But the local dealers intend TO make up
for the pleasure of which they deprived
the lovers of automobiles last year by
holding two exhibitions this season.
The first exhibition will be held under
the roof OF Convention Hall and the
doors to this affair will be. thrown open
the evening of February 3, and Will
continue up to II o'clock on the eve
ming of February S.
The second exhibition will be held i'm
mediately following the Convention Hall
show. and is to be known as the ALL
Week Automobile Carnival Carnival

ends at midnight. February Is.
The first exhibition will be glittering

the promoters to stage this show in

As the date of the first exhibition is
yet some five weeks distant, it is prob

that will add to the gayety OF the oc-
casion. Never before in the history of
show-giving in this city has so large
a number of dealers evinced a disposition
to enter into a movement TO promote an
automobile exhibition. or course there
are more dealers in the city than ever
before. but that is neither here nor
there; they are all working prodigiously
to stage an automobile exhibition, to ex-
tend over a period OF two weeks, that
will cause the entire motor world TO stand

Reports from the Paris show now in

the total number of stands being 56S,
compared with $50 at the London show,
and the total area OF floor space occupied
by these stands. $4,000 square feet. This
constitutes a record in the history OF
motor shows all over the world.
Great Britain leads the list of foreign
exhibitors with "a. America is directly

to accessory manufacturers whose goods
are shown on the stands of various
French agents.
The American representation is a re-
markable increase. compared with the
last show, held two years ago, when
only a couple of firms from this side OF
the water had their goods on view. II
shows that the American firms are Sc
curing a footing on the French market

critical in Europe. The American cars

Germany shows twelve makes of cars.
Italy and Belgium each have nine and
Switzerland is represented by six car and

panIes aside from those enumerated were
represented by French houses at the

As far back as last July every inch
of space had been rented in the Grand
Palais. Two hundred firms that were
crowded out appealed to the organizing
committee to open an overflow section.
but this request was not acceded to.
Consequently an independent organiza-

INDIANA SOCIETY MEETS.

Peace on earth, good will toward
men" was the theme emphasized Friday
night by Rev. Earl Whitley, pastor of the
Vermont Avenue Christian Church. in an
address made at the Christmas meeting
of the Indiana Society in the rooms OF
the Washington Chamber of Commerce.
AllusiOn was made by DIR. Whitley to
the war in the Balkans, the revolution
He stated that a worlds peace was no
longer regarded as an impossibility. and
that the time was near when there would
be peace on earth and good will toward
mem
\ feature of the evening was the I'M
expected visit of Santa Claus to the
meeting. II is thought that he must have
seen the huge. beautifully decorated
Christmas tree which stood in the center
of the room and could not resist the
temptation to drop in on the 800 Hoosiers
who were present. At any rate. he drop
ped in long enough to leave a present for
each OF those present. Dancing and an
elaborate musical programme afforded
pleasure for both the young and the old.
A resolution was passed requesting the
Indiana State Legislature to amend the
present registration laws so as TO permit
voters to register without having to make
a special trip for that purpose a month
gomery, pastor of the Metropolitan VI. f.
Church, and Rev. Earl Whitley, both
''Hoosiers." were made honorary MEM
bers Of the society.
Among the prominent Hoosiers present
were Robert Tracewell, Comptroller of
the Treasury; Jsr1es 2. Horniday. John
W. HolCOmbe, and Mrs. Kate 5. Curry.

PROTEST BYGBORGIA
MAY UPSET PLANS
Friends of Amendment for Elect
ing Senators by Popular
Vote Get Jolt.

Friends Of the constitutional amend
ment providing for the election of
United States Senators have been
thrown into a panic by q protest just
filed in Congress by the Legislature OF
Georgia. II this protest is well found
ed, fear is expressed that 1t may be
necessary to pass the constitutional
amendment. This would mean that the
fight would have to be waged all over
again and thus materially delay the in
PRODUCTION of this constitutional reform.
The Georgia protests sets forth that
a constitutional amendment, to be val
idly submitted to the States, must come
from Congress with the support Of two
thirds of the vote OF each House. 1t is
stated that a constitutional amendment
submitted by the vote of only two-thirds
of those present in each House is in
valid. Acceptance as valid an amend
ment submitted by the vote of two
thirds of those present is declared by
the Georgia Legislature to be a con-
cession of powers by the States TO Con-
gress not contemplated by the Consti-
tuition.
A demand is made that Congress shall
reconsider the whole question. recall the
constitutional amendment that has been
passed, and repass It with the votes Of
two-thirds OF the entire membership Of
the House and Senate. In this connec-
ton it is pointed out that the Georgia
Legislature adopted a resolution direct
ing the attention of other Legislatures
to the alleged attempt on the part OF
Congress TO arrogate to itself powers
belonging to the States.
The Georgia protest has been ordered
printed and has excited a good deal OF
comment in both Houses. Whether it
will receive any consideration at the
hands of Congress is problematical.
This will probably depend upon the num-
Der of State Legislatures that follow the
example of Georgia.

SWEDISH SYSTEM ADOPTED.
Replaces Present Order of Physical
Drills in Navy.

The Swedish system of physical training
is now being established in the United
States navy to take the place of the pres
ent order of physical drills. The Swedish
system has been studied by Surgeon Cen
eral Stokes for several years, and has
been adopted upon his recommendation.
The new system is regarded as more
effective in intoxicating habits Of greater
care, control and alertness in movement,
and it is expected that it will result in
improvement in the general carriage of
the men of the naval service and the ac-
QUESTION of habits more responsive to
commands.
To begin the operation of the system
in the navy, a number of midshipmen and
petty officers from the feet have been
assembled in classes at the Naval Acad-
amy at Annapolis, where they are being
taught the Swedish method.
