NEW YORK, November q, 1913
In the beginning Of the craze for
dancing and eating combined. so many
professionals were employed in the res
taurants. after the manner OF Paris, that
only those women danced who were not
squeamish as to what they did In public.
Realizing this, two restaurants have re-
Gently been opened with dance music in
which no professionals appear. Conse-
quently, a large number Of well dressed,
well coiffed. well placed men and women
dance between the hours Of IL and 1
o'clock; no later, mind you.
While it is quite true that it is not
possible to make these places selective,
still every one must conform to the rules
of dignity. quiet and the proper kind
Of dancing. Therefore, one sees beautiful
gowns and jewels there, and also the
smartest of fashions.
In this connection it is interesting to
know that the dressmakers and shops
have found that the opportunity thus
afforded to thousands Of women to dance
and dine has brought about an immense
increase of business In smart frocks and
hats.

the new models or series until this year, but this season with the almost universal shift from right to left side drive it was impossible to change any stock cars with right hand drive which might be on hand the first of June so as to call them the new ser ies or models, and this naturally meant that these cars had to be dis posed of before the new models could be brought out, thereby placing a. time limit.
 I think this year we will lay our production plans a little more conser- vativeIy, and we may have reached the point where the demand will not continue to represent an increase ever every previous year, however, if we count upon a steady demand some where approximating that of the sea- son of 1912-13 this business can claim the permanency and stability of any other line of business.
 It is natural to expect that there are reforms to be worked out in a business which has grown to the pro portions of the automobile business in so short a space of time, but, on the other hand, I believe there is as much talent and ability in the auto mobile business all the way from the engineer to the business man, as is to be found in any other lines, and the ability of these men I feel will be demonstrated.

NEW RECORD.

A Ford Model T has established a new record for the ascent of Pfke's Peak. On September End, the car driven by Oliver w. Hall of Denver started from the Cascade Postoffce at the foot of the famous mountain. The start was made at 8:15 a. n., and the Summit House was reached, at 12:58, or rather the telegraph office, for it was the official checking D pint. The elevation is 14,147 feet above the sea, but many miles were covered m reaching the top. The road was in very bad shape as it has never been repaired since the old stage coach days. In places the grade exceeds 25 per cent. and in some spots it was necessary to jump the car six to ten feet at a time. The descent was made in pouring rain, which in creased the difficulties of the down trip. In establishing the new record the Ford beat the best previous rec ord for the feat by 46 minutes. The former record was made by far more powerful car than the Ford.

GIRL MOToRCYCLIsT
 TO TOUR WORLD.

To circle the globe on a motorcycle that is the ambition of Miss Della CreWe of Waco, Texas. Miss Crewe is one of the most enthusiastic motor cyclists in Texas. She is a, member of the Federation of American Motor cyclists. All summer Miss Crewe has spent her leisure hours riding her mo torcye1e over the beautiful country roads surrounding Waco.' And with each days ride has come an ever-in- creasings desire to make a long trip on her two-wleeler. Nor will a tour of the States satisfy her-she wishes to visit other countries. And she has decided that on a motorcycle is the only way to travel if one wishes to really see the points of interest.
 In preparation for her proposed world tour, Miss Crewe has spent an apprenticeship in a motorcycle repair shop in order to familiarize herself with the care and repair of her two wheeler. And she is not only plan ming to make her own repairs and ad- justments, but expects to make all of

AUTOMOBILE TRADE
 BUSINESS CONDITION

H. O. Smith, Chairman of the Board of Trade, Automobile Chamber of Commerce and president of the Pre- mier Motor Manufacturing Company of Indianapolis says
 We hear rumors of over-production enG falling off in buying. As to over production this business, unlike any other, to meet the public whinl, looks to the manufac cturer to make an absolute cleanup at the end Of the season, branding any stock which may remain on hand as a surplus due to over-productiOn. With any of the other great industries it is never ex- pected that the visible supply of stock will be entirely exhausted.
 For the last three years we have had on hand in this country, as best I can judge, between 5 and 10 per cent. of the seascn's production; these cars for the greater part having been Nightly changed and converted into

HOW ARIZONA WELCOMED MO-
 TOR TRUCKS.

By the grace of charity, it is re 1 corded in mining motor-truck lore, the power wagon got it's start in the
 Arizona ore country. The not too well auth ticated story goes that a venturesome tenderfoot of San Fran 1 cisco who had saved little of earthly goods in the great earthquake and fire
 of April, 1906, save a fairly good tfor that early day) motor truck, i'll his eagerness to escape the recurrence of
 another such terror conceived the idea of making the journey overland in it to Denver to start his fortunes afresI. He got as far as the copper-nining district when @ boulder smashed the rear axle and the tenderfoot lost heart. Tramping to a mining camp he made such an emotional display of his months of hard luck that the mine superintendent was touched to the ex- tent of allowing himself Gas he then imagined) to be t'touched'' for $500 in exchange for the dislocated machine. After welding the break with therl11it, the superintendent (to the accompani- l ment of jeers of his men) put the | motor to work carrying ore to the l smelters. Finding that the mule teams would not as his men predicted Have to be all the time pul1in' the horse less contraption back,'' and that the | machine was doing as much as the | best two of his four-muIe teams, he
 became so enthusiastic that ne -un- dertook to make the president and the officials way back on lower Broad way also ''see the light
 These men finally invested in two
 auto-trucks, and as neither they nor the Eastern sa1esmen realized the special features that were required in them for operation in mining service, the trucks failed. The officials back
 East derided the superintendent for his folly and he after a year spent in
 retorting that "he wanted trucks built to his requirements,'' finally se- cured an appropriation for two more which he came East and selected him self. These trucks soon became the talk of the miners for five-hundred l miles around. The superintendent's judgment was vindicated; and wheth- CT this story is fiction or fact, that

 auto-trucks and probably will own ten
 more in a year, while every other

NEW RECORD FOR

S1A-CYIINDER MOTORS.
 Traversing 2,563 miles of the streets and highways of Pittsburgh, and the h1lly surrounding country for a ra- dius of several score miles, in a non motor-stop sealed-bonnet reliability test, a 1914 Mitchell Six car has set an envfabIe record. At the same time this six-cylinder machine an- swered the query of automobile men of two hemispheres who doubted the ability of a six to successfully nego- t1ate long non-m otor-stop run. The engine was going every second from the time the start in the wonderful test was made.
 The machine that triumphed was driven day and night during the week of November 24-29.
 A remarkable feature of the dem onstration was that no water was ad- ded to the cooling system, the car having shown no tendency to heat, showing conclusively that proper ra- diation can be provided to stand the gruelling grind in a six as well as in a four cylinder motor.

NEW SAFETY FEATURE.

Many a car has been wrecked and many a life lost by motor cars be- coming stalled on street and steam car crossing and even on city thor Oughfares. Often these accidents could have been avoided had it been possible to start the motor again without loss of time. This danger has been eliminated by the installing of an efficient electric starter, which is powerful enough to not only turn over the engine but to propel the car and it's occupants while so doing. How many drivers have not killed their motor at some time other and found themselves in an embarrassing predicament on some busy street While stal1ing ones motor is generally danger it is much graver matter to have it occur while crossing a street car or railroad track.
