 FIGHT FILMS BURN
Denied Admission To This Country On Account of the Law Re-
 gently Passed.

Like memories Of bygone days at Reno comes a story of the official destruction by the United States au- thorities of set of films of the Jeffries-J Johnson fight at Reno. In concern sent from New York to South America five sets of films depicting the Nevada contest.
 As per an agreement the South American company recently returned the films to I the American owners. But while the films were Knocking around South America, Uncle sam passed law that prohibited trans portation between states of fight pie lures or the importation of any such pictures The American concern was notified that it's films had been den jed entry" and that, under the law, they would be returned to the person who had sent them. The picture makers did not like the decision. as they figured the pictures would be used over again in South America.
 That is why the other day in the furnace room of the appraisers ware house in New York city, the celIuod films were burned Celluloid is a bit explosive when it takes fire and all hands stood back. The pyroteolnnics were vivid. but brief There was a geyser of flame that shook the fur mace and the Jeffries-Joh battle went up the flue. The owners said that is meant a loss of seye ral thou sand dollars to them

 HIGHWAY MEET
Gathering Preliminary To National Federal Aid Con- vention In Washington March 6-7 Includes Many Noted Road Workers

Farmers business men, and road users will be involved in what un- doubtedly will be the most interesting session of the forthcoming Federal Aid Good Roads convention in Wash ington. D. c. In the evening meeting of March 6, the National Grange, the Chamber of Commerce of the United States and the American Automobile association will supply their most prominent highway advocates. Sena- tor Jonathan Bourne, chairman of the joint committee of congress which is now Investigating the subject of fed- eral aid, has been invited to preside. at ths evening gathering, the con clusion of which will be an illustrated talk by Warden Thomas J. Tynan of the Colorado state penitentiary. No man in the United States has accom- plished so much as Warden Tynan in the use of prison inmates in the building of roads. and all this with methods that embrace an honor sys- tenn. an absence of guards, and the wearing of citizens clothing.
 The National Grange spokesman will be C. S Stetson of Maine chair man of it's executive committee, one who has given much thought to the roads question in it's relation to the men and women living in the country It is expected that President Harry A. Wheeler will speak for the cham Der of commerce, and the interest of his organization in the improvement of the highways has been an in eVitabIe development. The automo- bile industry. the growth of which has been q business wonder, is well represented in the national chamber of commerce Prominent examples are H. 4. Medium. former president of the Automobile club of Buffalo. and now the president of the local chamber of commerce and C. C. Hanch. president of the Indianapolis chamber of commerce and identified with one of the largest motor car manufacturing concerns.
 Every member Of congress will be invited to attend this comprehensive evening meeting. and in numerous in- stances the local boards of trade and automobile clubs have named as con- vention delega tes their senators and congressman. many of whom have stated positively their intention of being present The dates of the con- vention are March and :. and the place is the Raleigh hotel.

 It may be that there won't be start CTS enough for all those who are announcing them. The makers of electric starters are finding no trouble to dispose of all they can manufacture, and are in the pleasan position of having the customers come to them rather than having to seek them out. A shortage of self starters (electrc type) is not be- yond the limits of reasonable eN- pectation.

SEATS ARE NOT ALWAYS SOFT.
Little Shelves in Old Machines, Before
 Side Doors, Recalled.

Recent years have witnessed the en- tr of a number of carriage makers into the automobile industry Yet not one man in fifty perhaps realizes how much the motor car owes to the vehicle that is now regarded as it's humble prede- cessor. The trend from the carriage business to that of the automobile is interpreted as a turning from the old and obsolete to the new and popular
 This probably is true. But it is also true that the comfort which is a prom inent feature of the good motor car of today had it's origin in the comfort that characterizes the well-built car riage.
 Nearly everybody remembers the tonneau bodies of the earlier automo- piles, especially those who were forced by circumstances to occupy the rear

seats. These were. in fact, mere shelves set across the rear corners of the body, with the entrance door be- tween. Comfort in these seats was hardly possible.
 Sitting on them was more like tor ture, with the short wheelbases, which were the rule, and the stiff hard-riding springs. It was not until 1904 that a carriage builder entered the automobile game and built touring car with side doors and d real rear seat

CONTROL ADVANTAGES EVEN
Many Adherents of Right Hand Steer
 ing Center Gearshift.

Many of the adherents of right-hand steering employ the center gear shaft. The advantages of the new type of control location are many, and the ad- vocates of right-steer have just as many arguments to overshadoW these. This year but eightyfour chasis are equipped with left-hand steer and cen ter control, but when it is remembered that this is an enormous increase over the 1912 figure it seems that that form is taking a firm grip on the buying public. Another form, the right-hand steer with center control, is not. as much in evidence as the other two types.
 From all appearances the arguments in favor of this location of control parts are not strong enough to carry over it great number of buyers. Here agaln reference is made to the fact that the buyer has caused these changes in mo- tor car construction, and it cannot be emphasized too much that It IS the buying public that controls such changes
