The Italian garden effect, while It is

the woodland scheme formed a splendid

of li2htness and airiness. The show is to
be held in the new Wignore coliseum.
The entrance will be through an arched
pergola Of columns and lattice, profusely
with flowers and foliage. This
entrance, inclined at an angle of thirty
degrees, gives striking effect TO the
arch above. Directly at the top OF the
incline, or at the floor leve, it eliminates

More Manufacturers Here.

According TO reports there VIII be more
representative here this year from the
various manufacturing concerns than
ever before. This is due TO the fact that
the manufacturers now realize more than
in this section of the country for the de-
yelopment of the motor car business.
Numerous applica atoms for space are be-
ing received daily by the directors of the
show, and many Of these Will undouDtcd-
ly b. accepted from firms not represented
in the National Capital. II is claimed
that this years show will be q record
breaker. and this is probably due to the
fact that the show committee intends to
MAKE automobile history when the time
arrives next month. This years exhibit

features, while the musical concerts

Concerts will be given every afternoon
and evening throughout the show week.
While several concerns have submitted
bids for the decorating of the hall, the
committee having this in charge has not
as yet announced the successful bidder.
Action probably will be taken within the
next few days. The interior decorations

Starting Systems Need Care.

With the use of the various electric
lighting and starting systems now found
on most of the better cars, another care
needing element is added to the mechan-
ism. Despite the advertisements, all the
systems need care and attention, and the
instructions of the manufactures should
be studied with care. The most impcr-
tant element is the storage battery, which
should be carefully inspected every two
weeks, and filled up with pure distilled
water il the height of the liquid is be-
low the proper mark. Once q Year the
battery should be gone over by an ex-
pert. Oil holes are usually provided on
the dynamo and motor. and oil should be
placed in these according to instructions
on the plate. It is q good plan in put
ting oil in these holes to hold the spout
of the oil can an inch or two from the
hole. so that the number of drops applied
can be seen.

Trucks Help Business.

The motor truck is not alone bringing
the farm to town, but 1t is also moving
the heart of the town out into the coun-
try" states the sales manager of motor
truck company. An illustration came to
our attention the other day right under
our noses, so to speak. Twelve miles from
Detroit is Royal Oak, a village Of a few
hundred y concrete road connects the
two points. An enterprising dealer of
Royal Oak has stocked up a comp etc de-
partment store-morc than enough 10 sup
ply that hamlet for = year. But nc is
selling, not to Royal Oak. but Detroit,

vertises in the Detroit papers. Low rents
and heavy buying give him strong arsu-
ments for trade. and he is getting it.

Philadelphia.

Elaborate plans are in various stages OF
propagation looking toward an automobile
show for Philadelphia during the week
of January 10-17, which in detail promises
to eclipse anything of the kind that has
gone before.
Although the 1914 exhibition win be
confined to pleasure cars exclusively, the
dominant note of the show Will be a
comprehensive but compact display. The
committee simply hasn't got the space
at it's disposal for huge spaces-only the
gems of the individual lines viii find q
setting in this years show. The associa-
ton membership has already swamped
the committee with advance orders for
space. but the general rule of restriction
Will rob the exhibition of anything APP
preaching the unwieIdy. The plan of
decoration of the show-the real frame
to the glittering picture of the most
modern automobile offerings-is Up to
the whole committee. which, in addition
to Messrs. Block and Herbert is COM
prised Of j. L. Gomery, Z. c. Johnson
and Ralph W. Cook, with II. Warren
Terry as secretary. These plans. as
submitted, run the gamut from the richly
ornate to the most severely plain. And
another week in all probability will lind

matter of fact, the style of the building
lends itself to L setting Of digniffed
charm and the decorative scheme will be

Printing Autos After Starting.

Motors that have stood idle for q long
time should not be primed with pure
gasoline for starting, but with a mixture
of lubricating oil and gasoline or kero-
sene. The reason is that during the
long stand of the motor the oil i'll the
cylinders has drained away. and what
little is left is gummed. This makes it
difficult to crank the motor. and at the
same time there is loss of COMPRESSION.
Pure gasoline will aggravate the trouble
by drying up the gummy deposit while
the lubricating oil and kerosene will
serve to restore the compression by act
ing g seal between the piston and the
cylinder, and cutting or liquefying the
gummy deposit.

From the office of the Boston auto
mobile show comes the assurance of an
even greater show in 1914 than any of its
predecessors So many applications for
space have been received that Manager
Chester /. Campbell is finding it difficult
to place them in proper locations, and
at the same time granting them any
where near the amount OF space desired
Nearly all OF the former exhibitors are
c amoring for their old locations. and in
many cases asking for large amounts
of additional room.
A representative of the show has been
in Chicago attending the motor cycle ex-
hibition and closing up the details for
an Interesting display OF motor cycles al
the March show. The new cycle cars
which are now being brought strongly
before the public will also be largely rep
resented.
So important is the motor truck con-
Sidered in the deye opment Of new indus
tries. and III fact in the development Of
all New England. that the Boston Com
merciai Motor Vehicle Association has
unanimously voted to hold another truck
show Immediately following the pleasure
car show in Boston. The pleasure car
section will De he during the week of
March TO IA and the truck show will
open March II and close the 21sr.
The exclusive motor truck show last
year proved revelation to the business
world. 1t showed the wonderful progress
being made in the transportation lines
of the ease in which vast tonnage is
handled and the surprising reduction in
time and expense.
As commercial vehicles will not be seen
in New York or Chicago, added interest
will be given the Boston display. Man
ager Campbell, who Will have charge of
both exhibitions, declares that most
comprehensive showing of all sorts of
motor vehicles is certain.

Find Wide Variety.

Prospective buyers and owners will find
a wide variety to select from at the
coming automobile show, it is said, this
being due to the wonderful development
Of the motor car within the past year.
Complete equipment has become the
rule since the last show. rather than the
exception, and but few cars will be found
that do not come equipped in the most
up-to-date manner. One OF the things
which will appeal TO both the purchaser
and the agent is the self-starter. Another
is the electrical equipment Nearly every
car on the market this year will De
found to be equipped with some style of
self-starter. while either full electrical
equipment or combination oil and e &c
trio lights will be found To be embodied
in the remaining cars. Without doubt
the feature Of the year has been the
popularity with which the various manu-
facturers have adopted the electric
starter.
The stream-line effect of car bodies VIII
be another noticeable feature at this
years show. There are several lines
which Will be exhibited for the first time
at the coming show with this feature.
Last year a few cars adopted this style.
but the great increase this year will be
quite noticeable Not only will the large
tourinl, cars have this style of body. but
even the smallest roadster viii have the
Strearn-line effect.
