. to the eye and that afford the great est comfort and convenience to the occupants. -
 Make More Comfortable Cars In addition to these changes the manufacturers have achieved a little more in the way of obtaining better riding cars In fact, most of their efforts in the last few years, since they were relieved of their chief wor- ries regarding motor construction. have been directed toward producing better looking and more comfortable machines.
 The various convertible bodies found at the show bear testimony to the amount of thought the designers have given in the last year to the
 problem of producing the most com fortable car possible. These bodies may be used in either an open road ster effect or as coupes. It is possi- ble to make the change in the body
 with very little trouble.
 Much has been accomplished in the designing of extra tonneau seats that i fold entirely out of the way when they are not in use Compartments in the back of the front seats and in , the tonneau floor are used to hide the idle seats in several instances.
 Cars Have Latest Devices 1 In equipping their products with 1 the latest devices designed for the comfort and convenience of the mo- torist. the manufacturers have out done all of their previous efforts. | One man" tops form probably one of
 the most notable improvements in
 this respect.
 While there have been no notice able changes in motor construction
 beyond the increase in small bore, high speed engines, there have been
 brought out within the year some
 important mechanical changes in the
 car Chief of these are a two-speed
 rear axle and an electric gear shift ing device
 Bodies have been lowered by many | of the manufacturers, and with gaso- line tanks and tire carriers shifted to the rear of the car, there is ob-
 tained a greater degree of steadiness. especially when travelling country
 roads at touring speed.

HERE'S LATEST ONE
 RIGHT FROM GOTHAM
Poor Old One Lunger has Vendors of Benzine Buggies Poking Their
 Heads Together in Confab

Down in the Hotel Adams the other day a bunch of vendors of benzine buggies were trying to make the indoor lying record hung up by the late lamented Ananias look like bean sandwich at a bankers ban quet, and after they had sold enough cars to buy controlling interest in the Standard Oil, they drifted into that favorite pastime of the auto salesman, banning the one lung road lcuse. They told every story that has originated in the fertile-and otherwise brains of jealous competi- tors, until they had run the gamut from the lower parts of Milwaukee to all over Schlitz's brewery. The poor little ohe-lunged wheezy boats came in for d lacing that would have made Jim Jeffries groggy in his palmiest days.
 But there's an end to all things, and after bunch had told themselves out of the stories of the little un- rretentious car, there blew into the circle a recruit just back from the auto show in New York. He arrived just in time to hear the drift of the hammer-throwers efforts and he cut in with this one:
 Boys, l heard one in New York the other day that's got all the other yarns running like a lame duck. It's red hot, right out of the auto show, and I've got to get it out of my system.
 The story goes that a fellow who was a swell mechanic, reached Into i his bank account and drew out enough to buy him a tWo-cylinder
 near automobile. After he got so he
 could run it without climbing tele- l phone poles or breaking up public

The Depression Gradually .Passes-' Six is Now King - Streamline, Left Drive, Self Starter Are Here to Stay

The Fourteenth Annual National Automobile Show, recently held at New York. completely changed the outlook for the motor car industry for the next twelve months. From an attitude of uncertainty the lead ing manufacturers of the country have gradually changed until they can see nothing but the most rosy prospects for 1914.
 The doubt which annually seems to diffuse itself over the motor car world had been apparent for some weeks before the opening of the au- tomobile show Rumors that grew ' gigantically as they ran hinted that scores of manufacturers had found that they were confronted with prob i lens of overproduction and that the most radical retrenchment was nec- essary. The failure of a few houses 1 built upon sand gave rise to rumors that other concerns were involved. i Such rumors could not but have a depressing effect upon the industry, although the individual manufactur- CTS knew how strong their own con- cerns were So it was with feel i ing of uncertainty that they moved on New York City for the automo- bile show. which has always furnish ed an accurate forecast of business conditions.
 Within two days after the show was opened the interest of the pub lie and the great number of orders signed by agents had proved that the industry was due for one of the best years in it's history.
 So the manufacturers and dealers have been relieved of the last finger ing doubt as to what 1914 holds foI them and are making preparations for the largest business in their his tory.
 Many Noticeable Changes | The big eastern show disclosed many noticeable changes made in the American automobile in the las year. Chief among these are the great increase in the number of si2 cylinder machines manufactured. tho growing popularity of left side drive the almost universal adoption of self starting systems and the building O. stream line bodies.

A USEFUL MAGNETIC TOOL.

Owners of automobiles who have dropped nuts, bolts or tools into oil filled gear cases and then tried to rick them out, will appreciate the value of little electro magnetic tool recently devised It will operate from either dry cells or storage bat teries.
 When the thumb is pressed upon a little button the tool becomes mag netized and will lift from three to five pounds, according to the strength of the current. It is handy also for removing valves from the cylinder, finding nails in tires or re- moving chips from the oil in a crank case without removing the oil.
 The device is also designed for use in the machine trade for removing horings from holes to be tapped. A thread on the end of the road per mits the attachment of an extension to reach where the tool itself is not built to reach.-NeW York Sun.

beyond this an orchard, bounded by a

separated it from broad yard where

What Happened Thirty Years Ago.
When Shirley came across the lawn
at Rosewood, Major Montague Bristow
sat under the arbor talking to her
mother.
The major was massive-framed,
with a strong jaw and a rubicund
complexion-the sorr that might be
supposed to have attained the utmost
benefit to be conferred by consist
ent indulgence in mint-juleps. His
blue eyes were piercing and arched
with brows like sable rainbows, at
variance with his heavy iron-gray hair
and imperial His head was leonine
and he looked like king who has
humbled his enemy. 1t may be added
that his linen was fine and immacu-
late, his black string-tie precisely tied
and pair of gold-rimmed eyeglasses
swung by fiat black cord against his
white waistcoat

Shirley looked at the major skep-
tically. for his chivalry was un-
doubted. During long career in law
and legislature it had been said of
him that he could neither speak on
the tariff question nor defend a man
for murder, without first paying a
tribute to ''the women of the South,

to reach the irksome grass-wisp with

Keeps Tarnet Mouinn

An electric attachment for target
such as is used on rifle ranges has
been designed by an Australian. 1t
keeps the target continually in mo-
ton, backward and forward on the
track. The figures are constantly in
action, and it is an entirely different
proposition to hit once, especially in
vulnerable spot, than if they were
stationary. Such target is par
ticularly good for use in the militia or
the regular army as in the case of
war it is not likely that the enemy
would stand still until somebody sue
ceeded in shooting them.

The girl walked on up the highway
with lifting stride, now and then
laughing to herself, or running a few
steps, occasionally stopping by some
hedge to pull leaf which she rubbed
against her cheek, smelling it's keen
new scent, or stopping to gaze out
across the orange-green belts of sun
ny wind-dimpled fields, one hand push
ing back her mutinous hair from her
brow, the other shielding her eyes.

a strip of young forest, and she struck

she sat down to rest on the sun

against the scanned trunk, her felt her
fallen to the ground, she looked like
some sea-woman emerging from an
earth-hued pool to comb her hair

She drew back against the tree and
caught her breath as a bulldog frisked
over messy boulder just in front of
her.
A moment more and she had thrown
herself on her knees with both arms
outstretched. "Oh, you splendid crea-
ture!' she cried. you big, lovely
white darling!"
The dog seemed in no way averse to
this sensational proceeding. He re-
sponded instantly not merely with tail

Tragedy with a Lesson.

Yesterdays deplorable accident, ir
which one high school boy was killed
and two injured, was apparently due to
the self-conhdence and exuberance OF
youth; and youth unhappily never has
and probably never will, profit from the
experience of its elders. Even had each
one of the victims been warned be-
fore he left home for school yesterday
morning of the great danger of leaping
on and off moving street cars, the
warning would doubtless have been
soon forgotten, and the tragedy would
not have been averted.
1t will be small comfort for the
grief-visited parents of the dead boy,
but it is true that his sad fate prob
ably will be the means of preventing
the loss of more than one life and limb
of Western High School students. 1t
is a tragedy of their own everyday
lives, a lesson of caution in their own
school of experience conveyed tc them
at terrible cost, and for that reason
more effective than a thousand lectures
and warnings.
The accident appears to have been
no fault of traffic regulations and due
to no carelessness or neglect on the
part of those in charge of the We
hicles involved; simply impetuous youth
rushing heedlessly into danger whicl,
maturer years would have foreseen.
