as the touring car.
The largest interest among show
Wis tors is centred upon the four sea

three models. The scdanet has sides
and ceiling done in gray and the seats
in black. The rear compartment is
carpeted There is an electric dome
lamp and the cowl board is lighted by
concealed lamps. The sedanct is four

MAXWELL Chalmers Line
Rich i'm Closed Cars
Wide Range Of Choice Given
To Those Seeking
Such Models

Visitors to the Maxwell and Chal-
mers displays in Madison Square Gar
den and the Armory respectively, dur
ing the passenger car exposition, will
be impressed by the completeness OF
the inclosedcar output Of the Maxwell
and Chalmers factory organizations,
is the belief of Harry J. De Bear,
manager of the Maxwell Chalmers
New York branch.
In addition to the new Maxwell
sedan and coupe designs says De
Bear, there is IA complete line of Chal-
mers closed cars, so that with the two
lines to select from man may find
car to answer any possible require
inent or family need. The big Chal-
mers design will answer the purposes
of even the largest families.
"Thc Maxwell coupe. which made its
premiere in New York only few days
ago, is the hit of automobile row. This
car is the delight Of women. 1t Is
made for the one who has need tor
light car. easy to handle in the con-
gested New York traffic. 1t has ample
room for three and the detail Of finish
throughout adds everything that could
be asked for.
"Underneath the body is the rugged
ness of Maxwell construction. Women
inspecting this car will be interested
to know that precisely the same chas-
sis is under it that was in the car
driven by Ray Mcnamara, our road
engineer, in his sensational series Of
flights last year, when for nine
straight nights he outran the Lark
fastest Southern Pacific passenger
train. between Los Angeles and San
Francisco In that test his Maxwell
went through 5000 miles of high
speed running. the train schedule be-
ing Al miles an hour for the whole
distance
In addition to the factory output of
closed cars, De Bear cites that the
all-weather top Jobs for Maxwell and
Chalmers models, provided by the
factory, have proved to be Thoroughly
satisfactory among owners. These
are made for both touring car and
roadster. Recent arrangements entered
into. also make it possible. tor De

tact, every metal
designer to the finished tester, was
busy with war. Therefore, any concern
who claims during the period of war
they designed and developed postwar
car, admits on the face OF it that they
verged very closely to being exceeding
ly unpatriotic.
Bear in mind the element OF time
cannot be divorced from the design and
development of motor car. Any car
that is to be worthy of the name post
war car" must have in it lessons gath
cred from the war. The war was not
over until November II. No designer
in the world can design and develop
experimental models, try out these
models, then turn them over to the
factory and have the factory put them
into production without considerable
time. This varies from one year in
some factories to several years in
others; but the element of time is ut
terly and absolutely necessary.
One Of the lessons the war has taught
US is the tremendous Importance Of
light weight This lesson Nordyke and
Narmon Company knew. years ago. 1t
is driving our competitors to some
thing they tried hard not to admit
Nothing mysterious in the way of en-
gine design has been learned from the
war. About all we have learned is how
to manufacture better motors, fit bear
ings better and increase the efficiency
If both production and inspection.
These things will be reflected in our
cars from to-day on. u
Don't expect a new Model to rcvolu-
tionize the world overnight. The war
taught us no such lesson. No better
proof could be evidenced that even
Europe has developed no startling ad-
vance than the fact that the French
Government ordered nearly three hun
dred Marmon 81 touring cars and linn
cuisines for the use of her army staff.
These cars are being delivered to them
to-day and deliveries will not be COM
pletcd until some time in April.

GENUINE enthusiasm for the auto

itself yesterday, the first full day that
the combined exhibition in Madison

Armory was open. Army and Navy

mean the exhibition was by any means
limited to soldiers and sailors. There
was a big attendance Of the civilian

One of the objects of interest at the
show is the Nash engine, the power
plant used in Nash passenger cars.
There is no tangle of wires or outside
mechanism. but the engine gives the
appearance Of smooth block of steel.
All moving parts are incased in a steel
jacket to protect them from dirt or
grit. The rocke~ arms of the valve-in-

valves, high waive lifts and straighten-

end of deep inhaling of huge gulps of
fuel. This helps toward increased
power.
One of the interesting things in
Madison Square Garden is the display
OF the General Motors Exports Com
pany. Statesmen and linguists of the
company are there to receive foreign
visitors. Catalogues OF the various
General Motors cars in Englis, French,
Spanish, Portuguese, Danish, Dutch

Of drastic retrenchment that will in
elude closing half of the exhibition
halls.
This announcement was contained in
the annual report of President Henry
Fairfield Osborn. made public last
night. The enforced curtailment of the
museums activities will include:
Closing half of the exhibition
halls to permit the dismissal of en-
ployes.
Keeping the museum open only
during daylight hours to eliminate
the expense of illumination.
Cancellation of all evening lee
ures.
Discontinuing circulation of nature
study collections in the public
schools. except in the borough of
Manhattan.
Reduction of the number of lect-
ures given during the year to public
school children at the museum from
twenty-four to ten.
Cancellation of all lectures an
nounced to be given in the public
schools.
Many Gifts Are Stored
The needs of the museum have been
greatly increased. said Mr.. Osborn, be-
cause Of the large number of gifts of
materials to the institution. AS re
suit Of these gifts The building space
is more than ever inadequate, forcing
the storage of many valuable gifts
that ought to be on public exhibition
he said
Mr. Osborn produced figures to sup.

The report showed that the trustees
Of the museum had themselves con-

it was necessary to dismiss many at
tendants, while q further curtailment
OF the list Of employees will be required
this year.
Exploration Work Continued
In spite of the war the directors of
the museum carried on practically all
OF the exploration work begun, while
they started many new projects as an
aid to the government during the war.
