MORE LUXURIES
New Cars OF 1915 Model viii DISPLAY
Improvements In Design for
Greater Comfort.

A number OF new Injuries TO in

sengers viii be shown on automobiles
exhibited at the annual automobile
shows this year.
The manufacturers have made
comparatively few radical changes
In the mechanical construction of
cars. but there have been a number
OF changes this year in an effort 10
make motoring more pleasant for all
who ride.
Ever since the seating arrange
ment has been one passenger beside
the driver and the rest in the rear.
the drivers companion has been I'M
usually fortunate. He has had the
best view and the most comfortable
seat. which Is located vlout midway
between the axles and is less affected
by the reaction of the springs and
the side sway.
This year there is a roadster car
rying three passengers. all of them
In the front seat. This result is OBJ
tanned by two changes in design. The
seat IS somewhat wider than is GUS
tomary and the drivers seat is slight
ly in advance of the rest. sufficiently

seat arrangement also gives more foot
room than in the old type of body.
A number OF the cars will show
combination bodies. affording a
greater degree Of protection in bad
weather. without entirely changing
the body of the car. Side curtains.
which open all the way up from the
door, are another standardized i'm.
provement to this same end.
Among the small novelties brought
out this year Is a watch holder. Own.
ers have frequently been inconveni
snced by finding that the iolting OF
the car has stopped the clock with
which the vehicle Is equipped.
There VIII be number of other
novelties supplementing the adjust.
