NEW YORK, N. Y, january s, 1916

NEW YORK, N. Y, january s, 1916.
V HERE is such brilliant array
of motor cars and SO much to
be seen here that one hardly
knows where to begin to de-
scribe the new things. To begin
with the sixteenth annual automobile show
will go down in history as the greatest
and most successful in the history OF
The attendance every day has been OF
record-breaking character and each
lay of the show brought in more and
more visitors from every part of the
country.
While there are a number Of entirely
new models on exhibition, II is re-
grettable that the manufacturers do
Not wait and bring out their new
models at the first of the year. as was
formerly the case. The number of new
models On display is small in compari-
son with the number of models which
have been seen running about the
streets of the country for several
months past. Many of these models,
which are not new to the public. have
been finished in special colors and up
holstered in special materials. There
is little doubt that in time the manu-
facturers will return to the old-time
idea of waiting until the first of the
year before showing the new models
and not bringing them out six months
In advance
Perhaps one of the most noticeable
features of the show was the body
shapes on the cars, which seemed to
attract a great deal of attention The
rolled upper edge is the most notice
able feature that has come into fairly
wide recognition on car bodies recent
ly. In an attempt to smooth the lines
and to lessen the wind resistance the
top of the body is narrower than it
is at the same point lower down. 1t
does not interfere with the roominess
of the car. but renders it freer from
the cars that it seems hardly possible
that they could be bettere1. as Is to be
seen from the growing usa of cupboard
or pocket room at the back of the
front seat In vehicle which serves
as ones moving van for the many
tours about the country much carry
ing capacity is needed and pockets and
all. Electric lighting has been more
freely used than in the past. and this,
too. has made for convenience and COM
fort In the mechanism considerable e
progress has been made and better
performances coupled with higher
economy are the order of the day
Partly because of higher price for
a wave of interest in this line has this
been true. Certain II is the visitor
found much to demand his attention at
the show this year.

Need for Encouragement.

Let us encourage the use of the dol
lar In international exchange, but let
me drop the warning that we cannot
hope Ito become a creditor nation and
at the same time be a closed and her
nit or protective nation. Debtor ma
tions will insist upon borrowing in
those countries where a dollars worth
OF their goods will pay dollars worth
of their debts. We must make our
choice between these destinfes, unless
all other nations are to become pro-
tective nations.
I'VE lag 1000 years behind the Roman
republic In respect to highways. The
remains of many Roman roads still
survive as enduring monuments of the
constructive genius of that mighty peo-
pie. In the United States there are
100000 miles of highways. There are
100000 miles of rural routes and star
routes embraced in our postal service.
This is five times the total railway
mileage of the country
day. when all the old-timers in the
automobile industry were present. The
banqueters numbered 375 people who
participated in the optimism and enthu
siasm which occurred on this occasion.
Those present from Washington were

theMilburn Carriage Company. His ter

south as Florida. He will continue to

Several fiattering offers have been made
to other Washingtonians in the auto
mobile business since the show opened.

Reason for New Designs.

One of the reasons for many of the
new seating designs is that the hired
driver and mechanic is fast passing
away. There may be no fewer of him
numerically, but when the number of

Crowned Mud Guards.

More than even mud guards are of
the crowned variety. and they add a
solidity of appearance that is impress
sive as well as serve their purpose
better than the earlier forms OF
course. they are harder to build and
more costly even after suitable tools
have been prepared for making them.
but they are better. They catch the
mud better and shed the rain and dust
better. and SO remain cleaner looking
on top. But even more valuable than
either Of these features is the fact
that they offer less wind resistance
and so allow the car to travel faster
causing the engine to require less fuel
In short. they are one of the things
that make for speed and economy.
For the first time an Irish car was
exhibited at the show this year and
that il attracted widespread attention
Is attested by the large gathering which
could always be found a this booth
it was probably the most radically de-
signed car seen in years in this coun-
try. In fact. IL borders on the freakish
when compared with the standardized
construction of today. The chief dis
ttnSuishinR characteristic of this brand
from the Emerald Isle is that in or

Efforts of Dealers and Makers.

Appreciating the necessity in a great
movement like this, for some one indi-
vidual or organization, with adequate
conception of the goal to be attained
and the initiative and ability to carry
on the work, Mr.. Williams pointed out
to his audience that mo more powerful
influence for the good roads movement
could be obtained than the combined
efforts of the motor truck and motor
car manufacturers, supported by their
vast army of distributors and deal
ers."
Farming is a business continued
Mr.. Williams, "and like any other
business man, the farmer must con-
slider the important problem of f>trans-
portation. Unfortunately, farmers are
forced to move their crops when the
roads will permit.
Good roads not only enable the
farmer to take advantage of favorable
conditions in disposing of his crops,
but reduce the cost of hauling at least
two-thirds, according to competent au-
thorities.

Roadsters Popular.

Three-passenger roadster bodies in
which the central seat is somewhat to the
rear Of the others seem to be advancing
in popularity. This type is sometimes
called the "cloverleaf' in ailusion to the
arrangement Of the seats. and is said to
be quite an advance from the makeshift
rumble seat which was sometimes used to
accommodate third passenger.
Another feature is the application of a
form of construction known in yachting
parlance as the tumble home" which
gives turned-in effect to the upper por-
tions of the sides. This type is particu-
larly neat and serves to accentuate the
much-sought-for streamline. as with 1t
the cowi Is rendered comparatively incon-
spieuous-an effect which has apparently
been attempted by many designers. The
individual front seats, with an aisleway
running between them, which was adopted
by few manufacturers last year, has
been variated this year to some extent
The new design permits the seats being
reversed. thus enabling the passengers to
face the occupants of the rear seats. With
this type Of body the foredoors are elirni-
mated. access being via the rear doors and
the passa geway.
The body design which permitted the
fuel tank being located in a cowl which
also accommodated the various control in
struments and afforded them protection
has i'een popular i'll recent years. Now
we have a further development in the
shape of a body in which the cowl idea
Is carried out between the backs of the
front seats and the tonneau. This is de-

ence upon the motor truck and motor
car industries will follow as a natural
sequence" was the gist of a talk given
few days ago by S. M. Williams to
the members of the Motor Truck Asso-
citation of Philadelphia.
AS sales manager of large motor
truck company Mr.. Williams has made
field Investigations and recognizes the
great utility of motor trucks for rural
use. His research work has also de-
veloped the fact that the lack of good
roads Is the barrier which must first
be removed before farmers can operate
motor driven Yehicles to advantage.
