Firestone Dealers Owned Rub
Der City from Oct. z to 10.

Akron belonged 10 the Firestone Com
pany from October Z TO 10, when more
than two hundred branch managers.
statesmen and representatives of the firm
gathered in the Rubber City for their
annual sales convention. Eastern men
used a special car for the trip from New
York. Visitors from the West met in Chi
cago and also used a special car for the
Journey to Akron.
Most of the first day was occupied WITH
meeting the travellers at the station and
,nstaIIing them in the largest hotel in the
CITY. several floors Of which had been re-
served for them. The hotel had been
decorated inside and out, and no efforts
were spared to make the visitors feel that
their welcome was genuine one and that
factory and city were theirs during the
convention.
On Wednesday morning the branch
managers held their first meeting, and
Thursday the formal organization OF the
convention was effected. The next TWO
days were occupied with addresses by de-
partment heads on the manufacture and
sale OF tires and discussions OF the points
brought out. Tours Of the tire and rim
plants were also on the programme.
One of the chief things realized by the
men was the company's growth during
tho last year. One addition has been
made 10 the tire plant and two new wings
are in course OF construction. These VIII

organization or city. The majority OK
cars that are now racing are entered py
private individuals, who get pleasure and
little else out OF racing.
ITO be sure, there are some drivers who
make racing a business and who live upon
their winnings. There are fewer races
held to-day than ever before, and unless
a driver is extremely fortunate In MS
winnings he will find himself In poor cir
cumstances at the end OF a racing sea-

matters knows how expensive 1t Is. a

by hospital bills.
.In my opinion. there's nothing what
ever the matter with racing. The trouble
lies with the promoters OF races In the
West where several very successful road
race events were run and some money
made. the promoters were men VINO had
no selfish interests in the races Inc

sporting side it has serious side In

"A goodly percentage OF car users store

HUGE SPACE IN AUTO SHOW
National Exhibition in January
Will Be Record Breaker.

Beginning with a few scattered motor
car displays that We're reluctantly given
space in a bicycle show thirteen years
ago, the automobile industry has grown
to such proportions that in order to ex-
hibit its products four floors of the Grand
Central Palace will be pressed into serv-
ice for the New York exhibition which
Will be held during the week OF January
$40 under the auspices Of the Automobile
Chamber Of Commerce.
Never before in the history OF shows
has there been so much floor space avail
able and allotted as for next winters ex-
hibtion, and yet Manager S. A. Miles is
being besieged daily for more space. This
unusual demand by manufacturers for
space is a striking commentary on the
growth and value Of the national show.
Following the allotting of space for car
exhibits the Motor and Accessory Manu-
facturers last week allotted room to their
members who will exhibit accessories
and parts. In all more than 1890 square
feet OF space was set aside for accessory
exhibits, and this amount is greater by
1900 square feet than that allotted last
year. So great was the demand by the
accessory makers for space that the dia-
gram of the fourth floor Of the Palace
had to be rearranged in order to accom-
modate the applicants.
At the Grand Central Palace, as we'll as
in Chicago. there will be greater dis
play of electric vehicles than has ever
been shown at an automobile exhibition.
Electric car manufacturers will make
their allotments in a short time and
prominent space will be given TO display
to the best advantage the various types
of electrics which will prevail for next

A Swarm Of Bees Captured.

A noise sounding like the beat
ing of a drum, caused a hundred
people to gather around the north
side of the st. Charles hotel last
Sunday morning to witness the
capture of a large swarm of
bees.
Charles Hit and Charles Free
man were strQlling on the river
front when their attention was
called to the bees flying south.
Freeman secured a metal tray
and begun beating a tune which
equalled the work Of Seymours
crack drummer. 1t required but
a few minutes to land the queen
bee under the automobile of Ben
Vinyard; then the march started
up the street, bees and a large
crowd of people following.
A large box had been secured
and after two hours hard work
the honey makers were safely
stored away. 1t is estimated
that over ten thousand bees were
captured. and Mr. Freeman says
he will have enough honey this
winter for all the buckwheat
cake eaters who will visit the
] Crescent restaurant.
