National Introduces New
Speedster Model

Recalling the brave days of old,
when National cars ruled the field on
speedway and road race course, a
new two-passenger speedster, bear
ing the National nameplate on its
radiator, made it's debut at the open
ing of the 1918 Chicago automobile
show on Saturday when it was ex-
hibited for the first time and proved
one of the popular surprises of the
big motor revue.
The National speedster. which is
built to meet the demands of reg
ular fellers" who, having n horror of
taking dust from any car that they
may meet, like to put the accelerator
button way down to the floor, is Of
fered on only the twelve-cylinder
chassis, a special motor of the air
plane type having been designed and
developed to uphold National speed
honors in this model, which is gear
ed up to racing pitch and capable of
hitting averages around S5 miles an
hour.
From radiator to gasoline tank,
the new National speedster typifies
highway supremacy and reflects the
achievements of Joe Dawson, Johnny
Aitken, Harvey Herrick and other
famous drivers that won fame and
fortune at the wheels of National
racing cars. The high radiator and
massive hood are symbolic of AFRO
CANT power and stamina, while pro-
Jectile speed is associated with the
graceful lines of the sloping rear
deck.
The body, which rides low on the
chassis to overcome wind resistance,
is of distinctive design and provides
a generous carrying space for bag
gage and luggage in the back, the
various compartments being easily
accessible through small doors in the
sides of the body and by means of
the collapsible upholstery of the
seats.
The National speedster, displayed
at the Chicago automobile show, is
painted National gray with red wire
wheels, red running gear and red
body stripe Offering a smart and
striking contrast. The windshield is
tilted at a rakish angle and the top
is so light in weight that it can be
raised or lowered by the driver while
he is seated at the steering wheel.
With the addition of the speedster,
the National line of steel thorough
breds is most complete, consisting as
it does, of four other models, as fol-
lows: seven passenger touring car,
seven-passenger all-seasons' sedan,
four passenger club roadster and
four passenger sport phaeton, each
of which is built on either of two
chassis, the six or the twelve.

Chandler Manager Predicts
Good Year For Motorcars

Though they do not know it, the
thousands of people who are visit
ing the Automobile Show have
been closely watched by the manu-
facturers. For the reaction of the
public to the show is the best in
dication that the motorcar people
will have regarding the prospects
for the coming season.
While the is-the-limit op-
timism of former years is not preva-
lent this year as in former years" "
says James NJ. Dunlap, sales man
ager of the Chandler Motor Car
Company, of Cleveland, there is
plenty of evidence that the coming
year will be a good one, even if not
as big one as some people would
like.
There will be n lot of cars sold.
People who are used to the conven-
fence and utility of a motorcar are
going to continue to buy and so will
thousands who have never owned
cars. Transportation facilities in cit
les and on suburban lines are going
to be reduced because of various
factors, and this will promote the
sale of motor cars. On the steam
roads the conditions are tending the
same way.
This years problem is not so
much selling as production. Any
manufacturer who is frank will con-
firm this. Getting the materials to
make cars and getting cars from
the factory to dealers are the real
problems. They are going to keep
us awake nights just as they will
other manufacturers-but Chandler
organization and Chandler facilities
have offset these problems to a great
degree.
But, coming back to the sales
outlook, let me cite what happened
in Canada. The first year after the
Dominion entered the war only 22,-
600 cars were sold-but the second
year over 100000. Most of these
were made in the United States and
Canada paid a heavy duty on them.
Now if they buy cars in Canada
when half a million men have been
taken out of the country and when
business that does not contribute to
the war is worse off than it will be
here, only congenial pessimist can
believe that people will not buy hun
dreds of thousands of motor cars in
the United States in 1918. They
will buy all the Chandler cars we
can make, we feel sure of that"

TEMPTATION TO
CHANGE DESIGN
REQ Engineer Says It's Much
Harder to Resist Than to
Follow Style

1T isn't nearly so difficult to keep
up with the times in matters of
automobile design as it is to resist
the temptation to do So" says Chief
Engineer II. T. Thomas, of the REQ
Motor Car Company.
The way of least resistance for
the designer-the plan that results
in the most immediate approval
from the sales force-is to adopt
every new fad and feature and fash
ion that appears.
1T isn't difficult to ascertain in
advance what these are going to be
it takes months to design and
build the experimental model of
any new car, so when it finally
makes its debut it is new only to
the public. All its details have long
been common knowledge to those
of the inner circles.
so it's easy to copy any such
idea-in fact it is frequently done

Cadillac Show Chassis
Shines Like Platinum

Mechanical construction is given
more than ordinary prominence this
year in the Cadillac booth at the auto
show.
The cut-open chassis, showing in
ternal construction and operation. is
feature which the Cadillac Company
was the first to adopt in the early
days of the industry. and which has
been feature in every show since
that time.
This years exhibit contains a spe-
,cial chassis. in which the predomin-
ating effect is that of platinum and
gold The materials, however, are
only those which go into the actual
construction of the car. highly clean
ed and FURNISHED. This chassis is
the same that was displayed at the
New York show and is a fine example
of mechanical work.

FireStone Donation

The advertising program of the
United States Government received a
big boost, when the Firestone Tire

The Firestone Company are among

- VENING clothes are growing more and more
- distinctive The time when evening gowns
were practically alike whoever wore them is
forever past. Suit the gown to the wearer is espe
ciay of the attire that is chosen for after six
o'clock wear.
The sweet-sixteen type will ever incline to mus
q them. The sumbrous-eyed brunette OF any age
will be supplemented in charm by Oriental adorn-
ments. For the stately woman stately apparel.
For the petite woman clothing that approximates
that which would fttingly close diminutive doll.
To every woman her typal robe.
On this page, for example, We see two types
wearing garments that beft them. The all-beaded
gown that would dwarf and render colorless the
delicate type Of beauty is splendidly worn by the
magnificent brunette who appears in it. She is Of
the Oriental model of humanity and is gowned
with Oriental splendor. 1t is as though priceless
tapestry woven in beads had been wrapped about
her. The wide, shawl-like effect at the shoulders
and over the arms, and the close drapery about
the ankles, likewise the long train, deepen and
heighten the impression Of Oriental splendor. The
floral shoulder straps in one picture and the low
draped scarf In the other are Of Oriental mag
nihcence.
OF more classic type is the third figure. The
clear, Greeklike profile, the simplicity of the
couture, denote the sheer grace of line of the
Aegean beauties Of the dim days OF the world.
The Greek, or the similar Roman, motif is carried
out in the wrap Of brocade with its wide shoulder
line defined by dark fur.
The irridescent beads forming the sumptuous
robes shown on this page change from a glittering
glory Of purple to green from rose to yellow. The
headdress Is OF black plumes hnterspersed with
color. The wrap is a mingling Of cream and silver
tints, enriched by a border of black fox.
The silhouette here indicated gives hint OF what
we may expect to see at formal affairs this Win
ter. Not practical for dancing it is suitable for
dinners and the opera. Its weight and outline
would handicap it in dancing function. How
ever, American women have a high-power adapt
ability. Should they want to adopt this gown for
dancing they would arrange for a slit in the skirt

and would toss the fshtail over their wrists or
attach it by ribbon or bracelet and glide happily
through the dance Should an ungraceful partner
or other dancer intrude his awkward foot upon
the gowns she would smile though half its beaded
splendor lay upon the floor
The objection offered to beaded or sequin gowns
for dancing wear applies in less measure to chif-
fons. Both are easily destructible, but the de-
stroyed beaded or sequin gown represents a large
outlay, while the chiffon gown is comparatively
inexpensive. Silk or satin gowns, because Of more
substantial character and because they can be
skllfully cleaned, are greater favorites Lace
trocks are, for similar reasons, not favorites for
the dance. A misstep might mean almost total de-
struction OF the gown. Lace, like glass; is diff
cult to mend and always shows the marks of
breakage.
In previous article told you that the manly
Silhouette, the faVorite inverted wedge shade the
shoulders representing the broad side of the
wedge the feet the smallest one, is a model for
Fan street clothes. 1t is evident you perceive In

Police Offices Today.

After having served many years at
police headquarters, in the secret ser
vice department, Sergeant Forrest c.
Bailey will today don his long dis
carded uniform, and report for ser
vice under Captain Sherry. at Secon
district, as precinct sergeant.
Sergeant Bailey has figured in many
big cases. having travelled as far as
Scotland for a prisoner. He is one
of the oldest men in point of service
in the department. Sergeant Wilt
shire being his only senior officer in
that respect.
Street Sergeant Whitlock, of the
First district. will go to the Second
district, and Sergeant Eddie" Way
mack, of that district, will succeed
Sergeant Bailey at headquarters.
Sergeant Waymack is one of the
younger officers in the department.
Like Captain Wright. he grew up and
had his first training in old Manches-
ter. When annexation was effected,
he vast transferred to this side of the
river, and has proved himself an cx-
ceptionally fine officer, He has per-
formed much secret service work, and
is looked upon as man equal to the
task of filing the place of Sergeant
Bailey.
These changes will become effective
