CLOSE OF AUTO SHOW
Special Attractions viii Be Put On
By. Dealers Tonight

Like the dessert to well appointed
dinner. the best was saved for the
last evening OF. the automobile short
conIae lectures and Friday evening S
prod fani. ne last Of the five days
cou e Wassa treat -Four reels oil
sple4did motion pictures were shown
illustrating the manufacture OF the
automobiles; the assembling OF the
parts; testing and adjusting; and the
car in actual use. The pictures were
wonderfully instructive and of alb
sorbing Interest for every person in
the hall. They began with the raw
material that goes into the automo'
bile and followed it through foundry
and shop, every step in the story
down to the final car owner; from the
pig iron TO the manufactured
steel. pressed into the frame or other
parts of the car Forging castings
turning, the working, and the finish
ing OF the metal parts was amply
shown and numerous special process
es, such as riveting by self heating
machines were depicted. 1t was all
very wonderful and instructive.
Professor Leavell did not take up
much time in talking, last evening.
He supplemented the picture lessons
BY calling attention to this and that
feature but the lecture Itself was on
the pictures, telling what the scene
was and describing the subject.
Attendance Friday evening was up
to the standard set by the 0skaloosa
course and was as large or larger
than upon previous evenings.
Fridays round table was we'll at
tended. Every one seemed TO have
points to bring up for discussion or
questions to ask and all in attendance
profted by these personal problems.
Knowing the session to be the last
opportunity to ask questions attend
ance was above the average session
and every possible minute of time
was occupied. Not person who has
been attending the afternoon session
who has not found something OF ben
efits In talks.
In addition to the work of the pro-
lessor, much information and knowl-
edge was to be obtained from the
charts and exhibits which covered
every part of the short course work.
Charts ami sets of instructions or
rules gave information concerning
the care of tires, sections of carbu-
rstors; parts of the transmission and
crank case, etc, etc Every possible
avenue of information was opened by
these special printed instructions and
any ticket holder who failed to study
this part OF the course equipment
missed a valuable part of the school,.
The short course has been a great
,,,onaer from avery nOinI of yi5W and
those who have had to do with 1t are
well satisfied. Ticket holders nave
been delighted and the management,
those upon whom the responsibility
for the course rested are well satis-
fed, being congratulated and COM
mended for their part in the work.
