PUBLIC ATTITUDE |
TOWARD CAR
!. CHANGING
Kisscl Representative Calls Attention
to Development Which Is Beneficial
to Both Buyer and Maker.
By RALPH KAYE,
ksseI Motor Car Company, Hart
ford, Wis.

Due to its adaptability to practically
every transportation requirement. coupled
with low cost of operation and mainte-
nance. the attitude of the motor buying
public has undergone a complete change
toward the motor car.
While originally the automobile was re-
fcrred to as a machine, it has come to be
more and more regarded as family car
riage or personal carrier, exemplifying
the taste and ideas of quality, character
and design held by the owner.
This change has become apparent of
late through the many conveniences and
comforts which the automobile manufac-
turer has installed in his product.
IT was only short time ago that the
automobile was a machine built and de-
signed for merely machine purposes. AT
facturer'S attention was concentrated on
mechanical parts of the automobile, de-
voting most of their study and expert
ments to perfectng the car as speedy
reliable machine. Very little thought was
given to the comfort Of its occupants or
even to it's appearance.
The type of car dependent entirely upon
It's mechanical merits without regard to
style and appearance is giving way to
the finished motor car, designed and built
for body comfort and pleasing appear
ance.
To produce the type of automobile
wanted by critical motor car buyers of
today demands that the manufacturer
not only install all the modern conven-
fences. accoutrements and appointments
especially designed for the purpose, but
to adopt those features out Of the usual
and which have up to very short time
ago been found only on custom made
motor cars.

enclosed types.
Owing to the limited space at the Palace
Z. Is impossible to display all of the beau

holstery available in Peerless cars as well
as cars finished in standard colors and
trimmings, consequently the Van Cortlandt
Vehicle Corporation, Peerless distributor,
has several attractive jobs which could
not be shown at the Palace on display in

Features of New Marmon "34. y

The gear lever and the emergency brake
lever on the new series Marmon 81, ex-
hbited at the Grand Central Palace are
located just under the right side of the
steering wheel. Your hand naturally
drops to the brake and operates it with
second thought. Marmon 81 drivers en-
ploy it frequently, and not for emergencies
only. 1t is good practice to use this hand
brake occasionally instead of the service
brake all the time. Then when the tense
moment comes, Presto. Both brakes have
been applied and the car obeys with plenty
of clearance from trouble. Brake and
clutch pedals are easily operated and the
new steering gear and dry disk clutch
make the car exceedingly easy to handle.

Four Handsome Bodies Are Shown
This Year, Including "Road- King"
"Limoudan" and 'Foursome."

For 1920 the King Motor Car Company
Will continue to feature four body styles
all using the same chassis. They are the
Touring, Foursome, Road-King and Lin
oudan. The bodies are all new designs
and many improvements and refinements
have been made in the King time proven
chassis.
Bevel edges and square cornered body
designs have become so common that the
new King open bodies with perfectly flat
top body edge, smooth straight sides and
high hood with graceful contour stand out
as individual and artistic motor equi-
pages.
The Lmoudan, SO named because il
comDlneS features of both Sedan and
Limousine, is also distinctive, with high
mood, sloping front, straight Sides sharply
rounded corners and broad windows.
Unusually wide crown tenders with rear
lenders hugging the wheels blend into the
body styles in most artistic manner and
emphasize the style and smartness of each
individual model.
Built with especial attention to materials,
construction and workmanship, the new
King bodies measure up to the highest
standards.
close examination of the new King
models reveals many features which will
appeal to every prospective owner. Each
OF the four body styles has inside and out
side door handles. sloping windshield, with
tension adjusting nuts; rigid spare rim or
spare wheel carrier, long gear shift and
hand brake levers and deep, soft up
holstery.
The open models are equipped with per-
feet fitting hand tailored tops and the
storm curtains fit snug and tight. A mar
row bevel plate glass in the back curtains
Of the touring and foursome models and
two bevel plate glass ovals in the Road
King add to the beauty of the tops.
The well balanced instrument board OF
the new King models calls for special
notice. Between an eight-day clock and
a Van Sicklen speedometer there is a
hinged panel carrying light switches, ig-
milton lock, ammeter and dash light. This
panel which is Yale locked at top, is the
cover plate OF a small steel cabinet con-
tanning the fuse block and wiring termi-
mails. This arrangement protects them
from moisture and while accessible to
the driver it also prevents any one from
with the electrical connections.
Chief among the mechanical improve
ments in the King chassis are long front
and rear springs, large tubular front
cross member, longer torque arm and a
specially designed rear cross frame men,

whole chassis. makes solid mounting for

Dinglev Marmon Demonstration Head

Balance is such an elusive word among
motor builders that it is refreshing to
have it graphically described and tangbly
pointed out by Bert Dingley, who is con-
Quoting the tear down and rebuild exhibi-
ton of the new Marmon 81 motor in the
lobby of the Hotel Commodore. Dingley
shows the connecting rods of the engine
are machined all over, and a variation of
more than one-eighth of an ounce is not
permitted between rods. This is an un-
usually close allowance for manufacture
ing standard of so large unit and the
eye can see the road balanced against each
other in the exhibit.

SEEKING TO ORGANIZE
COLORED LABORERS IN
STATE OF MISSISSIPPI

(5y The Associated Negro Press.)
Jackson, Miss, Dec "A state Of

fthe Mississippi division of the
American Federation of Labor.
Chas. H. Franck, first vice-presi-
dent of the organization, is sending
out hundreds of letters to local labor
organizations urging the formation of
Negro Labor unions, and his action
is meeting with resentment from
other officers of the Federation, who
believe this to be an unwise policy.
A majority of the State Federation
officers are aligned against Franck,

AN ANCIENT CHRISTMAS DISH

An indispensable Christmas dish of
ancient times was "frumenty'' or
"frumante" Here is the recipe of
making the dish according to a faith

and bray it in mortar until the
hulls be all gone off, and seethe it
until it burst and take it up and
let it cool; and take clean, fresh
broth and sweet milk of almonds or
sweet milk of kline and temper it all;
and take the yolks of eggs. Boil
it a little and set it down and mess it
forth with fat venison or fresh NUT

alone without venison or mutton

of organized labor in the South"
Franck, it will be recalled, is the
person who met with a shower of
hrickbats and rotten eggs a few
weeks ago when he attempted to or.
ganize Negro workers in a lumber
mill at Purvis. He appealed to Gov.
ernor Russell for protection, and the
governor issued a vigorous letter de-
nouncIng the "acts of lawlessness'
at Purvis, and criticizing the local
authorities for permitting the rough
treatment of Franck and his com
panion.
