The outlook for the automobile show to
be held in Convention Hail. February 8
10, inclusive, under the auspices of the
Washington Automobile Dealers Associa-
ton, is unusually bright, and there is
every evidence that it will be the great
est exhibition in the history of the auto
mobile, SO far as the National Capital is
concerned. The decorative scheme is COM
plete in every detail, and, according to
the plans, every steel girder and beam
within the hall will be completely hidden
beneath decorations. The spaces will be
marked off with pillars. surmounted on
top by ported plants, with every other
one glowing with electric lights, placed
along the aisles of the hall. In addition
to this gilded rope will be used swung
from the lower portions of the columns.
At meeting of the Washington Auto

Hunting by Auto.

Quail hunting by motor car is the
latest novelty for sportsmen. and, judg-
ing from the enthusiastic reports from
Texas, this method of getting full bag
not only adds much to the comfort and
pleasure of the sport, but also has it's
practical values.
Recently Roy Munger of Dallas, Tex,
accompanied by friends, made a hunting
trip to west Texas, using his Cadillac
touring car not only to get to the hunt
ing grounds, but actually employing the
car in the field. Mr.. Munger and his
party made the trip in his car overland
to Big Springs and drove thence about
sixty miles north.
The Munger party bagged nearly as
much game as the law allows. Blue
quail were killed in large numbers and
the duck hunting near Gail. Tex, where
the nights were spent, was declared all a
hunter could wish for.
