Fred ]. Titus Finds Factory
Will Be Pushed Hard TO
Fill Orders

Trips to the various automobile fac
tories are in order now, and every
time dealer goes West and sees the
manufacturers hustle to get back to
normal proposition he comes back
more enthusiastic than ever over the
prospect.
Fred J. Titus, retail sales manager
Tor Owen Magnetic and Liberty cars,
and Walter Ramsay, who manages the
wholesale department of the Owen
Magnetic Sales Corporation, passed the
last week end at the Liberty factory
in Detroit. This flying trip was made
IN an effort to get enough cars to live
up to promises they have made re-
garding deliveries. They are deter
mined to adhere strictly to the policy
of the company, which is rigidly to
fill orders in rotation and to play no
favoritcs
The demand for Liberty cars has
been so far in excess of expectations
that it is going to tax the resources
of the factory to the limit to fill or
ders for immediate deliveries to deal
ers and retail customers.
Mr.. Titus, who is one of the vet
Grams of the Row, came back to New
York full of enthusiasm over all he
saw at the Liberty factory, which is
rapidly reaching the pre-war produc-
ton point.
-"In all my years as an automobile
man" says Mr.. Titus, II never saw
anything like the demand for automo
blles generally, and especially for
those in which the engineers, having
had the owner-driver IN mind. have
made operation particularly easy"

Course To Be Resumed
Colt-Si~a'icn Co. Experts Will
Give Advice to Owners
md Users of Cars

nounced that its spring automobile in
struction course will open sessions on
March II. There will be classes on
Mondays at 4:3O p. H., Wednesdays at
1880 and p. M. and Thursdays at 4:3O

clusively to the coaching Of chauffeurs
and drivers in the economics of opera
ton and maintenance expense.
While the primary object Of the les
sons is to instruct owners of Dodre
Brothers motor cars in the proner
method of operating them, others viii
find it to their advantage to attend.
One of the features of the course this
year is the encouragement of motor
car driving among the women and the
younger set, to whom the opportunity
of attending the sessions is extended.
Any one desiring to enroll for the
course may do so by communicating
With the instruction department. of the

Automobiles Win

Many Bills Beaten
Delegation Succeeds in Kill
ing Measures Said To
Be Discriminatory; viii
Oppose Higher License

ALBANY, March Sup to the pres
ent time there is no legislation unfa-
vorable to automobile owners which
seems to have any chance of passage in
the state Legislature because of the
diligence and watchfulness and repre-
sensations made to legislative commit
tees by the New York State Automobile
Association
One of the most representative gath
erings of motorists ever held at Albany
took place March 4. when 81 local clubs
out OF a total Of 121 clubs COMPOSING
the State Automobile Association sent
delegates to the hearing on automo-
bile legislation in the Capitol, and as
result of the protests, recommends
tlons and approval the representations
of the State Automobile Association.
Motor Truck Club Of America, Automo-
bile Club of America, Taxpayers As
ISOLATION and Automobile Manufac-
turers' Association, large list of bills
OF discriminatory character, aimed at
automobile owners and operators, have
found their way into the discard
About the only legislation which
will likely be favorably reported by the
committee will include equipment of
motor trucks with mirrors and requir-
ing the transfer of registration certiti-
cate with sale Of car
Such measures as the 5000 bond bill,
Illuminated number plates, automobile
commissions, etc, were all successfully
opposed by the organizations.
The bill requiring the transfer of
certificate of registration of car when
sold will not prevent theft of the car,
but it will make it more difficult for
thieves to dispose of stolen cars and
will protect honest dealers from the
imposition of thieves.
The bill to increase license fees of
Automobiles has not yet made its APP
pearance, but is likely to show up any
time now and certainly some time soon.
The New York State Automobile As
ISOLATION has taken the position that
the association will vigorously oppose
any increase in license fees until all
automobile moneys are devoted ex
clusively to the roads of the state.

Light on Engines
When Hood Is Lifted

AT the recent automobile show a
number OF cars on exhibition embodied
several ideas which were overlooked
because Of their being hidden from
view. For example, in the Scripps-
Booth models there is one feature
which may seera insignificant at first,
but which any one who has TO lift up
the hood and tinker with the motor
In the dark viii appreciate. That is
u little light which automatically sheds
its rays under the hood az the hood is
lifted. ut is just features like these
that indicate how the manufacturer is
catering 70 the needs Of the public"

of the Scripps- Booth cars.

Brooklyn Expects to
Make New Record
At Next Auto Show
Exhibition Will Open March
% and Continue for Two
Weeks; Passenger and
Truck Cars To Be Shown

Brooklyn dealers are planning to
make their eighth annual Automobile
Show, to be held in the 23d Regiment
Armory, March 20 to April 10, the big
gest ever held in Brooklyn. Like the
exhibition last year, it will be a "dou-
BILE header: the first week, from March
20 to April 5, will be devoted entirely
to passenger cars. while the second
week, from. April to IL, will be en-
trely for commercial vehicles. Access
series and parts will be exhibited at
both sections of the show.
Last year the Brooklyn Motor
Vehicle Dealers Association staged the
first commercial vehicle show held in
Greater New York since 1913, and it
car section. Judging by present indi-
cations, the commercial vehicle sec
ton will be greater than ever before,
for manufacturers and dealers realize
the Importance of Brooklyn as good
selling territory. There will be every
thing to interest the business man and
farmer, from light delivery wagons
to tractors.
Not only will Brooklyn dealers be
represented, but manufacturers and
dealers from other cities have been
allOIted space.
l. C. Kirkman, 1865 Bedford Avenue,
director of the show, says that practi-
cally all the space for both sections
has been allotted.
The Brooklyn show comes at time
sufficiently long after the New York
show to bring out new ideas in both
passenger cars and trucks, particularly
in details. The automobile manufac-
turers will have had an opportunity by
the time the show is held to add to
their product new ideas which were
not seen at the Manhattan show.

Bolsi1evik News
Dealers Contend Radicals
Get Too Much Notice;
Vote Unanimously to Re-
sumo National Shows
BY BECK

At a general meeting of the Ma.
tional Automobile Chamber of Com.
mercc in New York Friday, presided
over by Hugh Chalmers, vice president
the reasons for the abandonment OF
the national shows this winter and
the events leading up to promotion OF
local shows at New York and Chicago
facturers decided unanimously to re-
sumo the promotion Of national pas
senger car shows and, subject to the
decision of a meeting of truck max
ers later in the day, of national truck
shows also.
At the afternoon meeting the cues.
ton of truck shows was debated at
great length and the truck mem bers
voted unanimously in favor of them
provided they can be held at the same
time as the passenger car shows.
At each meeting the question of
closer cooperation by and with dealers
associations was discussed. The d.
rectors probably will act on this sug-
gestlon at their April meeting.
Feeling a false impression is being
created as to the extent of the Boil
shevistic movement the following res
olution was adopted:
"Whereas, The general public is
forming a false impression of the
extent Of Bolshevistic movement in
this country, through the promi-
hence given such news in news
papers and magazines generally, and
through, the tendency of some edi-
tors and writer's to fasten the terms
Bolshevism and Bolshevistic to
ordinary labor movements and
"Whereas, Bolshevism in that wav
is securing an undue amount of free
publicity; and
whereas, This fact tends to ag
gravate whatever tendency exists
toward national feeling of unrest
and uncertainty; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the best interests
of general business and the entire
nation demand that such articles
should be removed from first page
prominence where their real news
value precludcs excluding them en-
tlreiy from the columns of public
print"
Trade reports indicated makers are
fast coming back into production, car
load shipments for February being ap-
proxmately 10000, substantial in
crease over the 1900 carloads shipped
IN February of last year.

The much abused four wheeled
cycle car has grown greatly in
popularity during the war, ana has
probably received a greater "fillip"
than any other type of pleasure car.
Petrol restrictions, the shortage
of tires and spare parts for the
larger machines Communicated by
the military have brought the right
"runabout" under the notice of a
large section of the motoring public
who, before the war, would no more
have thought of riding in a cycle car
than they would have been seen
astride motorcycles Many we'll
known people are to be seen daily
in the West End of London driving
natty little two-seaters with spider
wheels which could be comfortably

cations that in the development of
the cycle car we have the car for

of England come reports of the early

cars which have speed, strength and

"Moliere" and History

Naturally such play as "MoIere, in which Henry Miller, Blanche Bates and q distinguished company are ap- hearing in New York, has aroused much discussion. All hands agree that it is a powerful play superbly acted, but some of the wise-acres take issue with the author, Philip MoelIer, because he does not stick to history.
 The most intensely dramatic scene in the play takes place between Hen rv Miller, as Moliere, and Blanche Bates, as Madame de Montespan, at the end of the second act. The scene is in the apartment of Madame de Montespan, the mistress of Louis XIV, and she las declared her love for the great actor -dramatist. He re- bu6es her and her love turns to hat red. While history has been fairly well observed in "Moliere,'' the autho has disclaimed any intention of stick ing literally to facts. It is probably that such a, scene never took place in real life.
 Madame de Montespan had plenty of admirers. When they became too numerous she had a pleasant way of poisoning them off. She knew Mo
 
 acters in the play are-in addition to Moliere and Madame de Montespan- Louis XIV, King of France, Armande, MoIiere's young wife, and La Forest, his faithful cook; La Fontaine, the forgetfuI fabulist; Co1inge, the actor who stood by the dramatist from his early days until the end, from pow erty, through affiuence and royal favor, back again to poverty Giovan- nj Lulli, the plotting court musician; Baron, the vain young actor, who later became prominent; de Lauzu1I, the courier, whose family is still prominent in France, and genial Claude ChapelIe.
 It is practically settled that Henry Miller and Blanche Bates will make a tour of the country from Coast to Coast at the beginning of next sea son.
