Record Crowd and Record Sales Mark
Annual Automobile Show in New York

NEW YORK, Jan. SIN past years
there has been much talk Of the
beauty of the decorations for the AL
tomobile SHOWS in Madison Square
Garden, but 1t Is safe to say that not
before has the building looked as flne.
The entrance hall, decked with green
and marked with tall colurns topped
by ornamental busts, was particular
ly pleasing.
Within the first thing to attract at
tentivn 10 the Cano-v covering that
stretches from end to enu of the
building anu completely hides from
view the orders tnat run avross to
support the roof. This achieves an
effect that has tecn tired for before
but never SO we'll accomplished az

An interesting light on the relative
merits OF European and American
built cars was furnished recently by
william Kelly, vice-president OF the
Metzer Company, who has just re-
turned from two months trip
through the principal motor car fac
tories abroad.

than manufactured. Every car 1Iiit

The situation is considered SO grave
that the Alumni advisers with prob

all seem to realize that something
must be done without delay.
Now that one SO high as Kemper
