FOREIGN EXPERTS
TO COME TO SHOW
European Automobile Manu-
facturers Will Examine
American improvements.

One of the outstanding features of the
twenty-first national automobile show,
which will open in Grand Central Palace
Saturday, January 8, to continue until
Saturday. January Is, will be the great
number of foreigners who will visit New
York for the display The National Au-
tornobile Chamber of Commerce, which
sponsors the national show here as well
as in Chicago, has been notified that
persons prominent In the automotive
industry from practically all parts of
the world will be here to look over the
latest in American car design and en-
sines.
There is a good reason for this. Dur
ing the four years OF war in Europe
there was practically nothing done IN
developing the motor car Now that
there is a chance for the industry to
resume abroad the foreign manufact-
urers are looking to see what America
has accomplished. and for this reason
representatives of many countries will
visit the show Already S. A. Miles.
general manager Of both shows. has re-
ceived letters from France, Belgium,
England. italy, South America and
Canada.
Mr.. Miles spent last week In Chicago
City show, but has returned to New
York and is now completing all matters
pertaining TO the Palace exposition.
There will be lightweight manufact-
urers of motor cars in this years expo
sition. The several hundred models to
be displayed will show many changes In
body lines. improvements viii be noted
in motors also. Many Of these are the
result of war experiments. They were

shows that 375a per cent use four cylin-
der engines 81 per cent. the six cylin-
der type; 6la per cent. the eight cylin-
der design, and 2 per cent. the twelve
cylinder model. These statistics are
based on the type of engine used by
various manufacturers and not on the
quantity Of cars produced. On the latter
basis the four cylinder engine is far in
the lead.
When the six cylinder engine was
first adopted by several manufacturers
The four was the accepted Standard, and
much discussion in comparing the two
ypes followed Then came the eight
and twelve cylinder designs, and these
aroused further argument. There are
variations In the engines, dual valves
and W. designs being prominent The
latest addition to the many types Is an

There is no doubt that each typs
of engine has its intrinsic value, but
many manufacturers have made a sue

the one particular design they believe
best for their product. The automobile
show gives the motor car enthusiast a
chance to compare all types within n
few hours at most, for they win all be

Late this fall. for the first time In its
history. the route from Philadelphia
through Baltimore to Washington be-
came a good and open road throughout.
Formerly what Is now the main touring

now the secondary line. But gradually

preference over the one nearer the Del

One advantage of this inland route.

State Legislature to vote bonds to the

generally all absorbing in interest.

MOTOR TRUCKS BIG
HELP TO FARMERS
Special Day Set Aside for
Agriculturist at High
way Show.

Because the American farmer has
found the motor truck a necessity one
day. Friday, January z. has been set
aside ah farmers day at the Highway
Transportation Show. to be held In New
York city from January 3 to 8.
The show will be held under the au-
spices of the Motor Truck Association
of America, and because there Is no
one building in the heart OF New York
city large enough TO accommodates all
of the truck exhibits two buildings. the
Twelfth Regiment Armory. Sixty-sec-
ond street and Columbus avenue, and
the First Field Artillery Armory, Sixty
eighth street and Broadway. have been
secured Special exhibits OF the newest
types of farm trucks, convertible farm
bodies. hoists and otheer farm equipment
and educational programmes designed
to help the farmer obtain the greatest
benefits from his motor truck equipment
have been arranged at each of the two
armories on farmers day.
One of the greatest factors in max
ing the motor truck necessity on the
farm is the increase in shortage of farm
labor and the consequent necessity for
making every man produce more han
before With the physical limitations
OF the farmer remaining constant the
only means he has had of producing
more In a given period has been to use
mechanical instead of manual labor. The
motor truck has been one of the most
important OF these mechanical means
TO take in his crops, move them to rail
sidings or to market, and to bring back
to the farm necessary articles. Accord
ing to the Secretary of Agriculture in
his annual report to the President. farm
labor Is liable to be still more scarce
In the future because of the trend OF
population toward the cities. The Sec
rotary of Agriculture further says:
The following table shows the per-
centage of the total number Of persons
employed In all American occupations

who were engaged In agriculture from
1920 to 1910:

I'VE may expect for 1920 a lower per-
centage than for 1910. II win not be
surprising If the complete returns show
that only 80 per cent, OF our workers are

The motor trucks greatest asset to
the farmer is It's ability 70 save time.

Children's Rights

 That Holds Sway

Topeka, Kan., May 19.-"Children' s rights" is a new slogan that has been cast into the pending state political campaign by the Kansas Women's g committee on child welfare, the ul- innate goal of the committee, from a political viewpoint, being to get cer- tain laws essential to it's welfare program through the next session of the legislature.
 Organized from the state central committee down through it's district and county organizations to the wards and school districts the com mttee now has perfected machine operating. It's initial work is talk ing complete children's survey. Data to be obtained by this survey is to be laid before the next legis- lature as basis for the legislation sought. While Dr. Florence Brown Sherbon, head of the child hygiene division of the state beard of health. is pilcting the statewide survey, at the same time she has the assistance of representatives of score of or ganizations headed by the state fed eration of women's clubs, assisting in the work. The committee is com posed of one representative from each of these organizations.

Little Holland is Fast Becoming
 a Music Center

Ever since it was learned that Will lian. Mengelberg, the noted Dutch musician, was to be the guest con- ductor of the National Symphony so- cfey of New York next year, great deal of interest has been aroused re- garding Hollands musical activities. The result is a general agreement that this tiny country, which may be travelled over from frontier to front fer in six hours, "the land of butter and cheese" as it has been frequently called, will be one of the greatest music centers of the future.
 A Haven for Artists.
 Holland has long been known as the birthplace of many artists. It occupies but an inconspicuous place on the map, vet music has flourished there as brilliantly as in any of the larger countries of Europe. The choral productions of the Netherlands are known throughout Europe, and have very few rivals. This is also the country which Bohemian and Hungarian string quartets call their second fatherland, for here many an artist has achieved the fame and rec ognition which his own native land has withheld.
 Instrumental music has always been the chief element of Hollands musical life. Many orchestras exist in the little country, the two leading ones being the Residente Orchestra under pr Peter Van Anrooy, and the COncertgebouw Orchestra under Men gelberg.
 Developments in Opera.
 < It is perhaps strange that opera has not found among the Dutch the same interest which it could always rely on in Germany. France, and It&ly. This fact remains although a gifat many operas have been given, FIench opera even having been sub siIized by the city of The Hague witch believes that the form of mQsic is a necessary part of the life arH enjoyment of it's people, it's dip lohats and it's foreign dignitaries. Recently there has also been a sue ceSsful attempt to produce Dutch o1 sra. To be sure the available na- tie repertoire is not very extensive yet, but it is believed that once the nxtional consciousness is awakened, the country will produce a musical art as unrivaled and as peculiarly its l own as it's pictorial art.
