popularity and value and have become
a permanent fixture. The manufactur-
er. the dealer. and the public all join
in demand for motor car exhibitions.
The automobile show has become such
an important affair that 1t ranks with
the theaters in appealing to the masses.
1t has relegated the horse show into
a second position from society stand
point. as is amply demonstrated by the
reduction in demand and prices paid
for horse show boxes at the recent
horse exhibition in New York. The
automobile show now stands next TO
grand opera, IL attendance and enthusl-
asm are correct barometers.
Few realize the important part auto.
mobile shows have played IN the RAPID
and wonderful development of the mod
ern motor car and the agency they have
the purchasing public. II Is the inter-
change OF ideas and profiting by ones
own experience, as well as the expert
ence of others, which has made pos
sible the great strides toward the per-
fection Of the road locomotive.
Methods Old.
Most OF the practices employed in the
modern motor car are old in mechanics,
hut have been merely pitt to new uses.
Automobile shows are the clearing
house for new ideas. They have also
educated tie pubic, and at the same
time have had the effect of impressing
upon the public the magnitude and prog
ress made by the automobile Industry.
Another important feature which ap-
peals to every manufacturer and dealer

with which they are reached. when TAX

go out after the buyers rather than
have them go to the exhibitors as Is
the case during the week Of the automo-
bile show.
The manufacturers who exhibit meet

to the shows. from the most remote
points. Dealers meet the buying public,
the names and addresses of those who
are really interested and intend TO pdr-
chase. This can rot be accomplished In
any other way at SO small cost Au-
tomobile shows have been the direct
cause of changing many carriage deal
ers to the ranks Of automobile dis
tributers.
Only One Style.
It is but few years since the auto
mobile was a single shape and style
vehicle. A car had to be red and have
a rear door or IT was not admitted to
the best society. That age was one In
which it's many possibilities were not
known. The gasolene or electric pro-
PEELED machine was then purely a We
hicle for pleasure and show. Its use
was limited to the best roads and
weather and to a few hours at a time.
usually. In short, II was a toy. Tops
were not fashionable, for cars were not
used In bad weather.
But, as the motor car became more
widely used and known and its many

proval Of motorists even more rapidly
than have electric starters. and though
the older and more simple type of cleo
trio lighting system with the battery
alone has retained some of its advo-
Gates, particularly among the lower
priced cars, the so-calied dynamo-elec-
trio lighting systems have gained In
popularity much more rapidly.
Almost as remarkable as the growth
of the starter has been that Of the six
cylinder motor. Whereas only 10 per
cent of the cars of last year were skies.
almost double that number. or IS per
cent. have six-cylinder power plants
now. A feature Of as great Importance
Is the lowering Of the price OF the SIX
cylinder car and particularly the en-
trance Of the six into the medium-price
class of cars. There is quite a number OF
six-cylinders now selling at less than
s. Co., which brings them within the
reach of the ordinary motorist, one or
two selling as low as N.6oo.
Prices Not Cut.
Prices of 1913 cars as a whole have
not decreased, contrary to the expecta-
ton of many who have been looking
for a good many years for a decided cut
in list prices. Nevertheless, there has
been a decided movement In prices
toward a more uniform one. That Is. the
tendency seems to be toward uniform
average price which is very close to
$500; in fact. the average in all the
cars on the 1913 market Is 2,5So. During
the last year. makers Of cars listed
above $500 have shown a tendency to
decrease the price, while those listing
cars at less than this price in the main
have raised them somewhat. OF course.
there are many notable exceptions to
this. but the general trend seems toward
definite medium price.
This accounts for the great increase
in the number of cars selling between
1000 and 5000, with corresponding de-
crease in those listed above and below
this price .ssss..s-is
Equipment Expensive.
There are certain fundamental reasons
why an increase In the list price of
the cheaper cars. the chief one of which
Is the added expenses of the increased
equipment and particularly the fitting
of motor starters and electric lighting
sy stems with generator and battery.
The majority of designs offered for
1918 are quite logical in the consistent
development and refinement along the
lines pointed out by past experience.
This will be hailed with acclaim by a
large class of motorists meaning as IL
does the Standardization Of motor car
design, the lessening of depreciation,
and the ability to run a car two or
three years without fear Of being
classed as a secondhand buyer.
Others. however, insurgents against
the established order of orthodox de-
sign, will approve the fearless efforts of
the younger set in motor car produc-
ton to Introduce into the motor car
business the progressiveness that Is
characteristic Of American manufac-
ture.

Good Roads an Asset
For Motor Car Salesman

Manufacturers and users of automo-
biles have been shouting for good roads
so long that arguing for improved high
ways has become almost a second
nature TO them. On every hand. wher-
ever motorist is to be found. one
hears the gospel of good roads. But
at that few people realize that II is the
automobile salesman, next TO the manu-
facturer. who has profted most by the
work already done to make the high
ways better.

For one week, from Monday, Feb
ruary 3. to the following Saturday, the
interest of Washington motordom VIII
be concentrated in the annual automo-
bile show. 1t will open In Convention
Hall Monday night, and will be con-
Quoted under the auspices of the Wash
ington Automobile Dealers Associa-
ton.
When the show is thrown open to
the public there will be found the most
complete automobile exhibit ever given
in Washington. This years exhibition is
marked successful already. owing to
the splendid d decorations. For the last
several days the exhibitors have been
rushing in their cars and nearly every
train has brought in one or more ex-
hibits from the New York automobile
shows. In obtaining these great dis
plays the show committee has scored
master stroke.
That all attendance records Will be
broken this year is foregone conelu-
sion. and Washington In the past has
had some big records In this respect.
each succeeding show having given
larger attendance records than any
previous event of the character In this
city.
Attendance Important.
1T is vitaIly important for every per-
son in Washington or for many miles
around, who Is thinking of purchasing
an automobile during the next few
months to attend the automobile show,
said T. Oliver Probey. chairman of the
show committee. 1T is important be-
cause IL he fails to do so 1T will re-
quire days to acquire the information
about the new cars that can be gath
cred at the show In a few hours. Busy
men and women who are the buyers of
automobiles WI appreciate these facts.
Before an order Is placed every per-
son knows something about the type
and class OF car he intends to get BY
attending the automobile show all the
cars Of this particular class can be In.
spected In q comparatively short time.
This years exhibition will display
wider variety in the designs OF auto
mobile bodies than ever before, and the
buying public will undoubtly study BODY
designs with unusual interest. The re-
suit of these conditions will be great
er buying and a steady expansion OF
the automobile into lines and uses to
which II has not heretofore been ap-
piled. Truly. the prophecy of horse
less city is nearly at the point OF ful-
hllment.
Dealers Enthusiastic.
That manufacturers and dealers thor
oughly believe in automobile shows Is
forcibly demonstrated by the unprece-
dented amount of applications for space
at ary such an affair. At no time in
the history of automobile shows since
their inception IN this country In 1900
has there been so great a demand for
space as this year.
Automobile shows are increasing IN

AUTOMOBILES HAVE
INCREASED NUMBER
OF CHURCH GOERS
Ministers Admit That Many Who
Heretofore Neglected Duties
Now Come Regularly.

Here is another charge" laid against
the automobile. but one which any one
might well be proud. The motor car is
drawing people to church who seldom or
never attended divine services before.
A Los Angeles minister made this
declaration from mis- pulpit on a recent
Sunday, and his fellow-pastors of the
city In a thorough canvass by news
paper representatives, bore him out In
his contentious. Perhaps the best evil
dence of their belief in the power for
good in the automobile was expressed
when, in a single week, nearly a dozen
Los Angeles clergymen came TO the
rescue OF people arrested on the charge
of speeding. paying the fines OF the
offenders in open court.
Crowded street cars. late Sunday ris-
ing, and the other time-honored excuses
have been swept aside by the comfort
able, swift automobile" said the pastor
in his pulpit. II personally know OF
four men who have attended church
regularly since they purchased motor
cars, something they had never done
before.
Now, instead of sleeping late on Sum
day morning, the people are getting up
for before-church ride and coming
here In proper mood to listen to a ser
mon. Before they were ruffied and could
not get the good they should have out
of the morning service. While 1t is up-
doubtedly true that some people have
Eeen drawn from the church by the auto.
mobile because of the lure of a Sabbath
tour, their number is small compared
TO those who have started attending
regularly. II any one doubts the pop-
ularity of the church with the autoist,
churches Sunday mornings. He will
find them lined with motor cars"

Poor gasolene Is the real reason Tor

ager OF one Of the big motor car COM
panies in Michigan.
A few years ago. ne points out. the
common run of gasolene was up around

plosion from his motor in almost any
climate. But everybody knows the

superiorities over the horse became
known 1t was fitted with bodies better
adapted to daily use, and this process
has been going forward ever since. un-
til today there Is the little open bodied
runabout, suited to short trips and er-
rand service, with the lightest, simplest
body construction possible.
Makers Of more pretentious cars fit
bodies with doors to the operators seats
and with high sides and other protec-
ton from the weather, as may be seen
in many of the models of practically
every modern car. The manufacturers
produce bodies that answer for long
distance work as well as for short trips
and city use. They also fit them for
the use of the women members of the
family, and thus tend to Increase the
number of automobiles needed by the
family.
Bodies Improved.
The conventional touring car, once the
leading style, has been fittel with bodies
much improved in many details. Seats
are wider than heretofore. Doors to
the front as well as to the rear pro-
tect the owner who drives or rides in
front as well as the family or guests
In the rear. Ample length for leg room,
better cushions. and many conveniences
like robe rails. foot rails. and folding
seats for extra passengers. all mark an
advance In the construction OF this
standard shape of body.
There has been a wonderful develop
ment among motor cars since the be-
ginning of 1872, and particularly in the
ma jor features which first appeal to
ground with respect to the car for his
own use. Complete equipment has
come to be the rule rather than the ex-
ception. A car which Is not listed COM
plete with windshield, top. top-boot,
some type OF motor starter and electric
lights will find itself In the minority.
On many there is listed as stock
equipment some form of storm curtain
which can be put on and taken or In
an instant without necessitating the
disagreeable task Of standing in the
rain to do II.
Perhaps nothing will show this ef-
fort Of catering to the luxurious tastes
of the modern motor car buyer SO
much as the wonderful strides which
have been made in the adoption of
motor starters and of electric lights.
Seventy per cent OF the motor cars on
the 1918 market are equipped with
motor starters, while fewer than one
third Of the cars rely upon the out-of-
date and laborious hand crank. The
dominant feature OF the automobile field
this year Is the amazing gain In popu-
larity of the electric starter.
Shows Popularity.
From q bare three or four cars fitted
with electric starting and lighting sys-
tens in 1912. the number has Jumped to
l24 this year: that Is. 81 per cent, or
more than one-third. of the cars for
the 1913 market will have electric start
ing and lighting systems.
Electric lighting has gained in the ap-
