 York Show.
FARM TRACTORS TO BE SEEN
New Cars Have Larger Seats, Head lights With Dinners, Quickly Ad- unstable Curtains, Non-Skiddnq
 Tires and Demountabe Rims.

The St. Louis Automobile Show. October 4 to g, inclusive (Veiled Prophet Week., will afford Americans their first opportunity to view. collec- lively, 1916 models. The New York show will not take place until Janu- ary and the Chicago show will follow that.
 This St. Louis show, the ninth an- nual of the St Louis Automobile Manufacturers & Dealers Associa- tion, is to be strictly American, fact that will be suggested even in the color scheme, which will be red, white and blue. Probably never before, ac- cording to the show management, has Forest Park Highlands been draped so profusely with American flags and buntings as it will be during the dis play there of 1916 models. Forest Park Highlands is one of the largest and highest class summer gardens of the city and has been the scene of the brilliant St Louis automobile shows of the last four or five years.
 New Cars More Roomy.
 A glance at the new models reveals that while scarcely changing the chassis, the manufacturers have given much attention to the comfort and convenience of the passengers. The seats are wider and the bodies are more roomy. All the 1916 cars are equipped with the new one-man tops and curtains quickly adjustable from within, according to an announcement by the show management. These cur tains swing into the roof, lodging in roof pockets that hold them in place and out of the way when not in service.
 The rear wheels of most of the new models are equipped with non-skid- ding tires with demountable rims. which, in addition to making for safe ty, greatly reduce the annoyance and trouble of tire changing. Another new feature combining efficiency and economy, is a dash control with a vacuum system, enabling the placing of the carbureter near the intake of the engine and a consequent increase in mileage Of 25 to 40 per cent per gallon of gasoline.
 Irwin Sizes" Startling Departure.
 The most radical change, however is the introduction of the "twin-sixes. At least three different models show ing the ''twin-siX' cylinder and at least five showing the eight cylinder will be on view.
 The headlights are improved to con- form with the new headlight law of St. Louis and other municipalities. Be sides being equipped with the dim mer, they have an adjustable rear screw that permits the light to be fo- cused.
 Some of the exhibitors will feature the sedan body, which, besides being sort of a combination limousine touring car, cool in summer and warm in winter, is driven from within in stead of outside, and thus appeals to the man who wishes to run his own car and still be with his party
 Farm Tractors on View.
 There will be a large display of motor utility conveyances, including from one to ten ton trucks, delivery wagons and panel bodies, tractors for heavy hauling and farm tractors.
 The electric car display will be comprehensive, including the latest things in electric coupes, victorias and runabouts. The electric is no longer looked upon as a machine suit able merely for women, but is the utility machine for the business man who drives his own car. The electric men feel that the highest state of per lection in the electric car has been reached. Many of the new models shown this year will have the pneu- matic tires and wire wheels, which in- crease the smoothness of the running. The furnishings of the electric cars will be as elegant as heretofore, it is said, notwithstanding the poor con- ditions. The electric car manufactur- CTS were so fortunate as to secure their supply of imported broadcloths and whipcords early in the season.
 The accessories department will be larger and more comprehensive than heretofore. A heavier demand for space is being made by the accessory manufacturers and dealers and the show committee finds itself hard pushed to provide sufficient space to the increasing needs of | the accessory trade.
