SPRING SELLING IN
AUTOMOBILES NOW
+. KEEPS TRADE BUSY
Dealers Unable to Get
Enough Cars From
Factories.
By HARRY WARD.

The advent of spring has started the
automobile selling season in earnest.
There Is hardly dealer in Washington
who is not having trouble getting cars
fast enough from the factories to meet
the demand.
The demand for cars this year has
been Unusually heavy" said veteran
dealer, and all predictions that lyll
would be the greatest year in the his
tory OF the industry are being nloie
than fulfilled"
There is also a big demand for acces-
sores and equipment from those who
are preparing for tours. More Washing
ton motorists will take the road this
year than ever before. The touring in
formation bureaus are preparing routes
for many automobile owners and with
In the next ten days the roads lead

the question of abolishing or continu-

but the Peerless announcement takes
the lead SO far for getting there first F"
The entries for the second annual 500
mile sweepstakes race at the Indian
apolis Motor Speedway keep showing UP,
and there Is every indication that this
years race Will be even greater than
the struggle last Decoration Day. The
management has In hand assurances
that at least twenty-five cars will start,
while not more than thirty starters will
be permitted. The public interest in the
race Is proved by the fact that the de-
mand for seats far exceeds that of last
year. I'D ~.
Inconhrmed rumors are floating in
America today that the racing of auto
mobiles Is on the decline, but an ex-
ample of the fact that 1t will continue
to exist and not become a memory is
shown by the present staus of the game
IN Europe. France. the mighty nation
that nursed the sport In its lnfantilc
days, will again engage In speed con-
TESTS with italy and Germany in 1912.
The grand prlx over the Dieppe course
will see this trio OF speed motor pro-
ducing countries fighting for race su-
premacy. Worlds records will prob
ably Withstand the assault on them In
this race, owing to the distance being
I, 200 miles, but the French cars are GO
ing to make the famed Italian and
German teams exert every energy to win
the greatest OF the old world classics.
The Dieppe course will hardly admit
of the setting of a new worlds road
race record, as II Is full of short hills
as fast as the Santa Monica, where
Harvey Herrick, in the National, av.
eraged 74.63 miles an hour, when he
made the worlds new road race record
on October II, last, or the Boessia Cir
cult, where Navarro, in a Fiat, made
the record that stood 30 long. This will
work together to cut out higher speed
than the present mark.
However 1t will be the first severe test
of the new long stroke motor. Wire
wheels and new designs in brakes and
clutches will be put through the cruel
ing ordeal of ! 200 miles over the road
and engineers on both sides of the At
lantic will await the results of this race
more from technical than from
sporting standpoint.
