ALL READY ~.
BIG AUTO SHOW.
Detroit Automobile Dealers AS.
sOciati0n Plan to Guido
Themselves

While interest in the last week nat
uraily has been directed toward the
annual New York show which is the
pacemaker in motordom, the directors
or the ID. A. ID. A. have been occupied
IN whipping things into shape for the
Detroit show which opens a wesk
from this Saturday and promises 10
make new era in its particular field.
There are several things which
make this not only the best show De-
troit ever has known but among the
blggesI OF them all. In the first place
the site on West Jefferson, between
Campbell and Junction-ayes. contains
more show space than the Wayne Gar
dens and Ford service building com
bined. This enables the association
TO show more than twice as many
automobiles as ever before. also TO
have q separate building for CONNER
cial vehicles. the exhibit OF which will
be the principal one OF the 1915 sea-
son In addition there will be more
accessories than have been seen at the
last four shows combined. Then there
will he the historical section in which
VIII be shown the relics OF the indus
Try which has mounted TO third place
In commercial Importance.
The buildings are so laid out that
they are susceptible to rare display
OF taste on the part of the decorator.
who promises something alluring for
the truck building. unique for the first
floor OF the automobile building and the
great novelty OF the season for the
second floor. There will be shown
the famous Lincoln Highway In pic
ture. Forty big panels, averaging
Is by IA feet In size, give pic
lures or characteristic glimpse OF each
state through which the thoroughfare
passes on the way from the Atlantic
to the Pacific ocean These scenic
bits have been selected with the great
est care and are being worked out by
artists brought here for the purpose,
samples of their work seen during the
week being very satisfactory.
IL is strange that show managers
| elsewhere did not think OF the Lincoln
highway instead OF working over the
time-honored garden effect, but the
fact that Detroit was the only one
was matter OF much comment In
show circles In New York during the
week. and will be the means of at
tracing many ot the local show.
The excess IN space In the automo-
bile building proper will allow more
comprehensive exhibits than In other
years. Some OF the branch managers
have enough space to display every
model which they are Offering to the
public. There are more exhibitors in
this building and they represent the
pick OF the cars, the list of absentees
being Insignificant and composed
mostly OF automobiles which have
purely a local vogue in particular
section.
More than 80 makers OF trucks will
be seen in the exhibit In the other
building and there is great interest In
industrial and commercial circles
where haulage is one OF the big prob
lens. This display makes the Detroit
show a little more complete than the
New York affair or the one that will
be held In Chicago, and 1t promises TO
be pretty fair buying show as the
attendance from the outside will ex-
ceed that Of other years.

Senator Nord pointed out that the
state does nothing to improve this
land. and that II the. proposed bill
went through it would prohibit any
body else from improving it.
There are places" he said, where
for 100 miles there lis muskeag
swamp the best land on earth when
1t is drained and properly cared for.
But the state won't drain it.
There is only one way to solve
this problem. Let the state allow
purchases in unlimited quantities by
those who will reclaim this land and
settle tin other words, do what
the state might do to it's profit, but
refuses to do. Then the land would
go on the tax rolls, benefitting the
state school funds in increased vol

contributing to the cost of local i'm

Carlton who had been asked to look

BY HAL j: SHERIDAN

Willie Richie has an. excellent
chance to- get back the laurels he
lost to Freddie Welsh over in Eng
land last July, when they meet at
Madison Square Garden, March IL.
True, he would have to knock out
the champion to win the title, and
J, that seems wholly unlikely, but it
is the belief in sporting circles that
he will make showing that will
lead to long-distance bout for the
title. Certain it is that if Willie
makes good showing he will de-
mand such a mix. and Welsh will be
forced by popular demand to give it
to him. 1t is customary for cham
pion to give q return bout to the
man he defeated.
From early indications the bout
should be hummer. There is a lot
of animosity in Willie's craw over
that English brawl last summer He
claimed at the time he was justly un-
crowned and more recently came out
with the assertion that he was jobbed
out of the championship. That ought
to inject little feeling into the bat
tie. Richie came to New York to-
!. day to start training for the bout.
1t is pretty much agreed that the
first really good man that gets a
crack at Welsh over the long route
