TWENTY FIRMS, MANY
FROM DETROIT, THERE
Claimed That the Show Is the
Largest Exhibition Under
Single Roof

Reports from the Paris show now
in progress at the Grand Palais and
which was scheduled to close Sunday
Is OF more than passing interest to
Americans this year because OF the
increased number or exhibits from
this country. Also the show Is note
worthy from the fact 1t demonstrates
that the sliding sleeve valve engine m
vented by the American, Charles Y
knight, continues to gain in favor
there being an increased number OF
foreign makers showing this type OF
motor.
1t Is claimed for the Paris show
that II Is the largest exhibition OF
motor vehicles ever assembled under a
single roof. the total number OF
stands being 565, compared with 800
at the London show, and the total area
OF floor space occupied by these stands
10000 square feet. This constitutes
a record in the history of motor
shows all over the world.

DETROITERS END
5000 mile TRIP
Travelled Extensively in Canada
in an AbbOtt-DetrOit
Car

To travel nearly 5000 miles in a
motor car from Detroit, up into Far
north Alberta, Canada, thence TO turn
isoutherly and cross the United States
TO the boundary line OF Mexico,
thence westward TO the Pacific Ocean
coming TO full stop at San Francisco,
is the record just completed by three
Detroiters, George Thayer, Melvin
Ness and Carl Berglund in an Alb
bott-Detroit car.
Even a journey OF this distance,
with its trials and tribulations. ex-
element and great enjoyment has not
made these enthusiastic motorists
seek for a rest Almost Immediately
after reaching San Francisco the
other day and taking on supplies. they
started homeward by southern
route, and will pass through New Or
leans before turning northward.
These sturdy motorists left Detroit
on July "a and went westward to
Winnipeg, thence to Edmonton, Al
berta, after which they turned south
ward through the grain lands OF the
Dakotas and into the farming sec
tions OF Iowa, across the plains OF
Nebraska to Colorado where they
viewed the most beautiful and won
derful scenery in the United States.
Here they turned south, and striking
the old Sante Fe trail, journeyed over
historic New Mexico to Albuquerque.
From there to the Grand Canyon of
the Colorado and down the desert
roads 10 Phoenix they made their
way, before turning westward 70 LOS
Angeles, thence to San Francisco by
the coast route.
They had a full camping outfit, and
spent most OF their nights in their
own camp, only patronizing hotels
where il was absolutely necessary.
1--WE found all sorts OF roads said
Thayer. but our Abbott Detroit came
through without particle OF mechaui-
cal trouble. Our tires averaged 5000
miles a set. Among other things, the
need OF greater cooperation in the
building OF roads throughout the
United States was brought forcibly to
our attention. Every section seemed
TO have road master that had al
idea OF his own OF how roads should
be built and kept up. While at times
these ideas did not conflict, IL showed
that road building in the United
States is not being carried on with
a concerted action"
While the many conventions for the
betterment of highways are being
held, Thayer believes that the dele
gates OF these conventions should be
the actual road masters. That while
schemes for building better roads, or
more popularity speaking as the move
ments are now being handled,
schemes to provide money to build
them. is uppermost in discussion. The
interchange OF ideas in n very short
time will be productive Of the adop-
ton OF universal system in the
United States for road building.

CALIFORNIANS ARE
REAL ENTHUSIASTS
Golden State the Home of the
Motor Cars Best
Friends

When it comes to real, old-fashioned
motoring enthusiasm, California must
be conceded first place among Ameri'
can commonwealths. In fact, IL is
doubtful If there exists anywhere on
the globe, a region which equals the
Golden State in its whole-souled de-
votion to the motor car, and in ap-
probation OF the benefits which come
from its possession.
Manufacturers have likened Califor-
mia TO a sponge, capable OF absorbing
all the cars of proven class which the
trans-continental rsilroad systems can
bring from the production centers. In
the main centers of population Cali
fornia boasts car for every SO In
habitants and still insatiably calls for
more. Even in the less thickly settled
districts, automobiles are far more
common than horsedrawn rigs.
The recent session of The Stude-
baker Corporations branch managers
in Detroit, brought out California !
enthusiasm in a striking way.
The Studebakers automobile bust
ness is handled in California from
two branches-Los Angeles and San
Francisco. Each OF these branches
demands. for 1918, $4,500000 worth
OF the new Studebaker "25,' "35" and
Six models-a total OF $4,000, 600
which the branch managers insist Will
constitute the absolute minimum TO
satisfy their dealers, Manager Ollier
of the Los Angeles branch appeared
with specification and allotments of
more than a million dollars worth of
cars for December delivery, and had
promises from the railroads that
eight special trains could be secured
in which TO ship them. AS the Stude-
baker factory is at present engaged
in getting out a sample line of 1900
cars for its dealers In all parts OF the
country. Mr.. OILERS order was neces-
sarily alumized very considerably, to
his own great disappointment.

OAKLAND MOTOR CAR co.
OFFERS A NEW MODEL

The first Oakland Model 30, five
passenger touring car, the baby OF
the 1918 line manufactured by the
Oakland Motor Car company, OF Pom
tiac, is finished and deliveries VIII
probably be made in January. Those
who are responsible for the chafac-
teristics OF this new car are exceed
ingly optimistic about its future. They
have given II the same low effects as
the Oakland Greyhound $50 and the
AZ because the front and rear springs
are underslung. The best type OF en-
bloc motor Is used with a three-oear
ing crank shaft. This motor has de
veloped on the block 81 h. D. at l,SOQ
revolutions per minute. The chassis
is very clean in appearance and the
absence OF truss rods and other un
necessary cross members is partly re
sponsible for the effective style.

and the work of resuscitation was
started. In a short time the three
