for limited run. made up Of popular
artists whose friends of many years
standing are bound to flock to see
them.
An automobile show does not have
critics In the sense that other public
performances have. Or perhaps 1t
would be better to say there are more
types of critics. A man goes to tho
theater to be entertained. or If per-
haps he be tired business man to be
amused. There are some who so to
the automobile show to inspect criti-
cally. There are others who go mere
ly to look at the fine cars. Still 9TH
ers go to buy, and still another group
there Is of cur owners whose pres
ence is merely to show their alleg-
lance to the model they own.
Why Public Goes.
Tho public goes to an automobile
show nowadays to see q show. For
that reason the cars are made dainty
in appearance and extraordinary ef-
fects are aimed at and achieved. In
an exhibition designed to allure and
attract 1t Is fitting that the things eX-
hibited should look their best and he
dressed rather more fancifully than
normal. That is why the polished
chasses. the gay bodies. and why the
do not expect to find or do not even
look for In the car as they see 1t
every day.
Taking the car from the ground up,
1t may be said that tire styles for 1912
will be about the same as last years $
models. There is perhaps a tendency
toward oversize. but it Is not pro-
nounced. Artillery wheels will again
be used almost exclusively. as the
American autombile public has not
taken hold Of the idea Of wire spokes
with any great enthusiasm.
But in the engines Of 1912 automo-
biles there Is a decided difference.
Several years ago the average auto
mobile in travelling over the average
road made a noise like a box OF tools
It was said at that time that the
American automobile resembled a
cross between an ice cream freezer
and a cuckoo clock. and the costly
imported cars were not much better
from the viewpoint Of relative noise.
Automobile drivers of that day al
ways wore a worried look and showed
signs Of neurahthenia; or something
Of the sort.
Since then one Of the chief objects
of the automobile engineer has been
to design such a car as would not
make noise enough to drown conver-
sation while in motion. Last years
cars on the general average were
ouieter in operation than those of
1910. and the changes in the line of
1912 cars insure still more progress
in this way.
Practically every automobile manu-
facturer in the world has been indus
triously experimenting with some
form OF silent engine, and as result
there are full dozen makers who
have adopted type of motor the
valves Of which are entirely inciosed.
When in operation there is no rhyth-
mic motion to be seen along the top
Of the engine, and In the exact meas
ure that the valves are covered up
and muffled. there is a reduction in
the noise that they produce.

The show has come to be looked up
on as the formal opening OF the 1912
buying season in this section, as auto
mobile deals do not come with great
rapidity or ease until after the show
has taken place. The show gives pros
pective buyers an opportunity to COM
pare cars and prices, and places them
in better position to select their ma
chimes.
More Chassis Shown.
More chassis are shown this year
than ever before. That fact gives the
buying public even greater advantages
than are otherwise afforded, as there
is every chance to thoroughly inspect
the working parts of the cars.
In addition to the automobile OK.
hibits. which occupy the entire main
floor and stage Of the auditorium
there are numerous accessory exhibits
which have been given space ON the
balcony floor.
Emphasized Practical Side.
One tendency that is emphasized
at the show is that the auto is 70,
the whole family and for all the year
around. The practical and the useful
are the keynotes. The inclosed body

from the weather no longer is scorn.
