Vogue Set by Salon
Custom built to meet individual
tastes and preferences, the cars in the
salon possess an air of distinction. 1t
is this quality that attracts to each
years exhibition the patronage of New
York's social leaders and gives to the
salon the authoritative position it holds
as the arbiter of automobile fashions.
Opportunity for Leisurely Inspection
In selecting the magnificent ballroom
of the Hotel Commodore for this years
exhibition the salon committee has
provided surroundings particularly fit
ting Tor the occasion; the atmosphere
of quiet and absence Of crowding will
permit of the unhurried inspection of
cars.
Many Well Known Exhibitors
Among the cars that the French
manufacturers have sent over for the
occasion are the Renault, Pic Pic and
Delage. Great Britain provides the
ls-Royce and the Sunbeam. Amcri-
cas- contribution includes such famous
makes as the Locomobile, Brewster
Porter, Phianna, Du Pont and several
others.
The coachwork displays are from the
leading designers, such well known
builders as Brewster, Brooks Ostruk,
Rubay and Holbrook being we'll repre-
sented.
A number Of accessory exhibits will
add to the interest Of the occasion. in

no less than six cars Of the more ex-
pensive marque that he handles, among
them a rebuilt limousine, which sold
for price just few hundred above
what it cost when new a couple Of
seasons ago.
To-day there does not seem to be
any slackening in the demand for
motor cars, and every strike in the
essential industries is going to help
make it more nearly impossible to
satisfy the demand. A steel strike and
coal strike have their immediate
effects upon production of automobiles.
There are ambitious plans for output
for next year, but whether they can be
accomplished or even approximated
under the conditions is extremely
doubtful.
Hence it is safe to assume that there
will be a continued unsatisfcd demand
for motor cars and that prices are
bound to stay up rather than fall.

Peerless Closed Cars for 30

Walter Woods, head of the Van Cort
landt Vehicle Corporation, the distribu-
ters of the Peerless Eight in New York,
says that the present cold snap is EN-.
phasizing the Importance of the closed
car, especially the sedan. Those who
own sedans go merrily on their way in
comfort, while the touring car owners
are devising ways and means Of keep
ing out the sharp winds. The Peerless
company makes all it's closed bodies,
and fact about them not generally
known is that they weigh very little
more than touring body, consequently
not changing the performance of the
chassis in any noticeable way and CIV
ing increased comfort and protection.
For instance, our sedan weighs but 200
pounds more than our touring car, and
in gasoline consumption we And that
the sedan gives the same performance.
Our designers and engineers have
found that the primary essentials for
the satisfactory closed body are light
weight, ability to be opened up conn.,
pletely, ease of entrance and exit, and
stability. These features have been
incorporated in all Peerless closed
bodies, and with these basic ideas first
in mind the designers then developed
the style and distinctiveness that have
received so much favorable comment"

Smoke Not Only
Offensive, But
Expensive, Too
Costs Operator Of Car Money
Not Alone in Police Court
Fines but in Less Eff
cient Operation
By H. Clifford Brokaw.
Technical Director West Side Y. M.
C.. A. Automobile Schools

1t will not be necessary to tell the
cop to watch my smoke" these days.
The chances are he is watching the
smoke with designs on your pocket
book if the exhaust is bit too blue
or black and will be calling out to
you: "Heyl Turn off that smoke!"
Now that attention is being paid
afresh by the police to smoking cars,
it happens every day that some drivers
are caught in the meshes of the law
when they are not at fault. True, the
let-up of vigilance has made careless
drivers more careless and they ought
to be fined. But there are some cases
where it is difficult to control the is
suance of smoke and it is a shame to
see driver picked up under such cir
cumstances and held equally guilty
with the careless man.
Most of the smoke which we see
comes from too much lubricating oil
being supplied to the engine. This may
come from having the reservoir too
full; that is, with Oil above the level
indicated by the manufacturer. The
remedy would be to draw off the sur
plus. But the fault may be in con-
struction, so that too much oil is fed
to the engine even when the reservoir
level is normal. This means lowering
the level by altering the splash troughs
or narrowing the dippers so there will
be less splash.
In some cases it may be found that
the cylinders have worn, or that the
piston rings may be gummed with
carbon deposit mixed with oil, or they

Cautious Harry CASTOR
Sells Bootlegger Special

The latest creation on Automobile
Row in the way Of motor car Is what
the Lexington terms Booze Speed
ster"
This car. to use the expression Of
Harry W. CASTOR, president Of the
company, might be called a "Prohi-
bition Runner" The company had a
speedster built with a gasoline tank
mounted amidship, and it 80 happened
that the regular gasoline tank at the
rear was retained, thus providing two
tanks.
1t seems that some one from the far
prohibition South visited the company's
showroom and Immediately decided the
car would be ideal for certain purposes,
as it had one tank for gasoline and
one tank for booze, and the contract
was closed in short order.
Just where the car is seeing service
the Lexington company does not know.
but 1t does not assume any responsible
ity for any unusual service to which
the car may be put.

Production Plans Are for
Much Greater Percentage
of All.Weather Types of
Automobiles
Art of Coach Making
Few Changes in Tops and
Such From Horse-Drawn
Stuff; Demand Keeps Up

An announcement, such, for instance,
as that of the Haynes Automobile Com
pany, that fifty per cent of the cars
to be produced next year will be closed
styles, is very significant and typical
Of the times. Many announcements re-
garding the character Of next years
output have indicated a very high per-
centage of closed cars, in fact much
higherthan year ago it seemed possi-
BILE that any manufacturers would at
tempt. With labor troubles that have
disturbed great many body builders
in the past few months and also strikes
smong the coachworkers in New York,
this program may be easier to project
than to accomplish. This is, of course,
8 matter for 1920 rather than for
worrying over right now.
But it is interesting to note the
gradual changing of opinion regarding
closed cars. 1t isn't SO very long ago
that the first of the collapsible sedans,
ance. This was body that used the
regulation touring top, but had glass
windows that came up from the sides
Of the body, and could be dropped
down when not needed. Out of this
grew the better developed "Springfied"
Sedan, and now there is type that
has improved considerably over that,
ss it does not provide for windows to
be removed but merely to be let down
into the sides of the body.
AT one time the closed car was sup
posed to be fit only for city use, but
saesl of sedans and coupes in the
country districts have most remark
ably increased. There are so many
arguments in favor of the convertible
type that 1t may not be rash predc-
ton to venture that within another
four or five years the percentage of
production for all manufacturers will
favor the closed car so that perhaps
seventy-fve per cent of the country's
output will be of that style rather than
just the other way about, as at present.
In making closed automobile bodies,
especially OF the landaulet type. it is
change has really been made from the
old horse-carriage days. Over at Brew
sters the other day l saw an old style
coach dating back to 1901, which had
& collapsible top, which didn't differ in
any essential part from the kind of
top we see to-day on landau broughams
and such like.
Also the type of wagon that made
Brewster famous, single-seater weigh
ing less than 100 pounds, has what
is necessarily a one-man top, although
rot, Of course, with the disappearing
bows of to-day's type. Coach building
really hasn't changed its styles a great
deal in years and years. Of course, it
has been possible to put better fitments
into the automobile bodies and the
necessity of building a body that will
better withstand severe strains tnat
the horse drawn vehicle is subjected
to, but in the general outlines alone
has coachmaking achieved radical
changes.
There doesn't seem to be any scarcity
OF money when it comes to the pur-
chase of automobiles. Election Day,
for instance, was an extremely brisk
selling day along automobile row. One
dealer of my acquaintance disposed Of

The chassis of finished mechanical
excellence is the lightest on the road

is supreme. 1t holds Me road, speed

for comfort, atmosphere and poise,

compelling colors and fashion, COM

All these things will permit q large
amount of oil to work up into the
combustion chamber to burn and cause
carbon deposit and smoke. The rem
edy' is to have the cylinders rebored
or ground and new pistons fitted: or
it may be possible to correct the
trouble with special piston rings which
take up the wear and keep the excess
Of oil from the cylinders. For gummed
rings cleaning alone is necessary

Commission Not in Position to

Says Secretary
BIG PROPOSITION HELD UP
Reported That Selection of Ele'

Elections Results

In response to a persistent rumor
Secretary Oliver s. Morris of the in.
dustrial commission has assured the
press that that body has no intention
of buying the Equity Cooperative
Packing Co. plant at Fargo; that un
der the act creating the industrial
commission the board could not take
over the plant II it desired to, and
that no such desire to his knowledge
has been expressed.
The Equity Packing Co. several
months ago increased it's capital
from $1,0O0,0O0 to $3,O0O,OOO. Some
were unkind enough to intimate at
that time that the concern might be
intending to unload its plant on the
state at the increased valuation. Sec.
retary Morris appears quite positive
that nothing of this kind Is in pros.

The Big Program Held Up
Aside from the operation bf its
small experimental mill at Drake
which was reopened under state
management yesterday, it now ap
pears improbable that the state will
engage in the handling of grain and
the manufacture of flour on any ex.
tensive scale before the fall of 1921
at the earliest. There are what the
league appears to consider very ex.
cellent political reasons for not MAX

for the proposed terminal elevators
and flour mills. So long as this mat
ter is held in abeyance it Is said that
these industrial plums, upon whose
Importance to any community the
league press is laying much stress
may be dangled before the eyes OF
cities which might, without this in.
centive, be inclined to continue to
vote against the league program.
Fargo Made An Example.
Fargo just now is receiving daily
dcses Of this form of propaganda
The Townley newspapers there have
published glorified cuts Of the pro
posed terminal elevator and -four

hundreds of men who are to be eur

tries and Of the thousands of people
which they would add. to Fargo's
population. we're Fargo not 50 blind
as to persist in it's opposition to the
league. Recall petitions have beer
circulated against four members o1
the Gate City commission who ara

CAHILL PREDICTS
SPECIAL SESSION
DESPITEFRAZIER
League Whip From Grant Coun-
ty Indicates Governor Talked
Through His Hat
SOME IMPEACHMENT TALK

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 21.-The special
session of the North Dakota legisla-
ture is not wholly a myth, despite
Governor Lynn j. FraZier's assertion
to woman suffrage workers that there
would be session.
Confirmation of Governor Frazier's
pledges comes now from State Sen
ator J. l. Cahill of Grant county, who
was in Fargo early this week.
Senator Cahill stated to friends
while in Fargo that he anticipated
that the special session would be
called for about the first week in
October. This would be week later
than Governor Frazier indicated he
would call the session when he was
interviewed by representatives of the
National Woman's Suffrage party
about ten days ago.
Drought Legislation.
1t is impossible of course, to de-
termtne In advance just what sort
of legislation will be considered if
Governor Frazier does call the leg
islature into special session, but Sen
ator Cahill indicated that it would

provision to meet the drought in West

Montana, Senator Cahill told
friends, has taken steps to aid the
drought stricken farmers Of that
state, and he cited that as an indi-
cation of what North Dakota would
probably be obliged to do for her
farmers who have lost this years crop.
AS Director General Cathro Of the
Bank Of North Dakota has indicated,
the bank is not in position to provide
relief, it being necessary for the farm
ers to rely on their local banks.
Suffrage Question.
The problem of endorsing woman
suffrage is quite important to the Nom
partisan league, and the league lead
ers realize that they cannot afford not
to be factors in bringing about ma
tlonal equal suffrage

MINES TO CLOSE:
SHORT OF COAL

Duluth, Mimi, Aug. 21.-Minnesota
iron mines will close shortly because
of the lack of coal, it was stated by
iron officials here today. Those mines
on the Guyana range will be the first
to close, it was said.
Yesterday an appeal for. coal was
made to the railroad administration,
which request was refused, there not
being enough coal for the railroads
own use. 1t was stated then that i'm
less steam coal was available the
mines would have to close. The same
condition will confront the mines on
the Messeba range in the near future
unless commercial coal becomes avail
able.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 21.-Lead-
ers on both sides in the treaty fight
in the senate were in doubt today as
to when vote would be had on the
resolution of Senator Pittman, Ne
vada, democrat, of the foreign rela-
tions committee, proposing reserva-
tions to the league of nations cove

Senator Hitchcock, the administra-.

no effort on his part to bring immed-
late action, and Senator Pittman said
he was not certain he would call the
resolution up today.
Pittman Acts for President.
Senator Pittman made it clear that
! in presenting the resolution he simp-
ly was carrying out his own desire to
get action along the lines suggested
by the president in the White House
conference Tuesday.
While the group of republican res
ervationists led by Senator McNary Of
Oregon indicated they would stand to-

were not sure that in the meantime
they would not favor the Pittman plan
as step in the right direction.
Democrats Divided go
Democratic senate leaders appar-
emily divided over the expediency of
the comprised proposal for peace
treaty reservations separate from the
ratification today, decided not to press
for action the resolution of Senator
Pittman, democrat, of Nevada, en-
bodying the comprised plan. The i'm
preston was given that the measure
probably would be permitted to lie
over indefinitely.
The decision was taken after Sena-
tor Pittman had made it clear that
after introducing the resolution he
acted on his own initiative and after
Senator Hitchcock, the administration
leader, had indicated it was not in
spired by the administration.
