to every part of the car.
Overhead Valve Engines Shown.
More overhead valve engines were
seen and those that were not new
have been improved, especially in lu-
brication. Power output is greater on
the average engines, though displace-
ment has not varied much. The fuel
problem has brought about a number
of changes in manifolding, and practi-
cally every engine has some means of
heating the mixture. The detachable
cylinder head. vacuum fuel feed, bat
terry ignition, six-volt separate unit
starting and lighting are features
that have not changed.
There was also noted some fine
examples of advanced engineering
evidenced in such new practices as
bearings without shims and new de-
signs of high-pressure oiling sys-
TENS, improvements in valve gear and
the freer use of aluminium and other
metals to give lightness in weight.
Most of these have come as a result
of war experience and were chiefly
noticeable in the products of those
concerns engaged in war munition
work Great consideration has been
given this year to the universal and
the wheels.
A few years ago car makers were
producing 10 per cent closed models
and the remainder open. This was a
fair average. Today the closed mod
els constitute fully one-half. and in
production close to 40 per cent. The
sedan seems to be most popular of
the familiar cars and the brougham
or town car leads among the chauf-
feur driven models

Greatest Display in History of
the Industry Visited by
Thousands.

What the science and industry of
motor transportation learned from
the greatest war in history was
brought together and placed on ex-
hibition at the twentieth national
automobile show, which closed it's
doors last night in New York.
For the first time in the history
of the New York show the motor
truck and the passenger car exhibits
were held simultaneously, with pas
senger cars on display at the Grand
Central Palace and motor trucks ex-
hibited in the Sth Coast Artillery
Armory.
No one building could be found
large enough to accommodate both
shows. Four floors of the Grand Gen.
trail Palace were required to accom-
modate passenger cars and acces-

Greatest Show in History.
1t was by far the greatest show in
the history of the industry to date
in more ways than one. In the num-
Der of exhibitors and the amount Of
space allotted, in the variety of de-
signs and products shown and the

industry and by the automobile
users, the twentieth automobile show
undoubtedly surpassed all previous
national exhibitions.
Parts and accessories occupied more
space than ever before. Supplement-
ing the eighty-three makes of passen-
ger cars and sixty-seven makes of
motor trucks. there were 284 access
sories on exhibition at the Grand Cen
trail Palace and the 8th Coast Ar
tillery Armory.
At the passenger car show 1913

the automobile industry-and they
saw those lessons adapted to the re-
quirements of peace and the exigen-
cies Of reconstruction. They saw, in
other words, a new era in motordom.
Interest naturally centered in the
Grand Central Palace, where the first
actual postwar cars made their
debut, the dealers show of last year
coming too soon after the signing OF
the armistice to permit display OF
any unusually advanced designs.
There was no camouflage about the
newness of the cars at the 1920
show, marked changes being noted in
both the engines and bodies of many
of the different makes of automobiles
on exhibition. In both mechanical
development and artistic coach work

show more than ever this year, the
majority of the companies exhibiting
sponsoring an engine of that type.
With eighty-four exhibitors OF dis
tinct makes of passenger cars, all
former records for any single snow
in the country were broken. Some OF
the makes. although in production for
several years, had never before been
exhibited in New York show, and
in addition there were few brand
new models which have only recently
made their appearance for public ap-
proval.

cars which were shown with a great

GARDEN FAR ABOVE GROUND
New York Hotel to Have Flowers and
Shrubbery on Roof Of Its
Fourteenth Floor.

A unique idea In construction has
been worked out in connection with a
hotel now being built at New York.
At the fourteenth floor there is a set
back Of 12-foot depth made neces-
sary In order to comply with New
York city's zoning law, which requires
that at certain distances from the
ground, floors must be built back from
the front of the structure. In the case
of this hotel the fourteenth floor set
back Is bare roof area running the
entire length of the block from Fifty
first to Fifty-second streets. Instead
Of leaving this space, 200 by u feet
unoccupied, a regular lawn with grass,
flower beds and shrubbery, will be SUBJ
stituted. This will give the occupants
of the floor veritable front yard al
though some 200 feet above street lev
al. At the front of the yard along the
entire Park avenue side will be an ar
tistic balustrnde and lattice work so
that persons may utilize the little
touch of green, far above the street
without danger or inconvenience.

MAPLE NATURAL SIRUP JUG
Process Of Formation Of the Sweet
Material Is Now Pretty Thor
oughly Understood.

The maple tree in early springtime
becomes n sirup jug. 1t is mighty
good sirup, too, when one can get the
real stuff.
The puzzle used to be how and
why this happens. Now the secret is
understood.
Beneath the bark of the naples
trunk and branches is cellular struc-
ture in which starch is stored. The
starch is food, and when spring comes
1t is wanted to make new growth.
But the tree cannot digest starch.
and therefore the latter is converted
by engines inorganic ferments) into
sugar. The sugar, dissolved in the
tree sap, is carried in the form of a
thin sirup to all parts of the tree, dis
tributing nOurishment.
The sirup flows upward and outward
toward the twigs and budding leaves.
and the warmth of the sun causes 1t
to expand. There is gas, too. in the
cellular structure of the sap wood.
and it expands under the same genial
influence.
The result is pressure downward,
and so. when a hole is bored in the
tree trunk the sirup trickles out. A
goOd-sized sugar maple tree will yield
80 quarts, or enough to make three
pounds of sugar when boiled down.
