EIGHTH ANNUAL MOTOR SHOW TO
 OPEN TONIGHT

Bridgeport's eighth annual auto show gets under way at the State Ar mory and the Jacoby building in Main street at s o'clock tonight, a larger and more complete line of cars being on exhibition this year than ever be- fore. In addition to a larger number of cars there will be represented at the show a larger number of manu- lecturers and there are also better arrangements for exhibiting the var. ious makes than has been prevalent other years.
 Opening exercises tonight will be inaugurated by Mayor Clifford B Wilson, assisted by Col. s. P. Cronan and staff Speidels orchestra will fur nish the music for the occasion and songs will be rendered by Mrs Judith Flather and Louis c. Fenton.
 The armory has as usual been tastefully decorated and the beams and rafters of the building completely hidden by drapery and decorations. Flags of the United States and the Allies strike a predominating note in the decorative scheme. Directly opposite the entrance is a large cleo tric sunburst outlining the word 'Welcome.''
 Tomorrow afternoon the Trade ShcOol will be III attendance at the Armory to hear a lecture while on Wednesday afternoon students of the High school will be in attendance for the same purpose. During the after noon and evenings of the week repre- sentatives of the Chalmers Maxwell company will lecture on topics of general interest to motorists.
 The musical program, including the instrumental and vocal selections, will be given each afternoon and evening throughout the duration of the show The overflow passenger car hisplay and the truck and tractor exhibit will be staged in the Jacoby building across the street, it being thought that this arrangement will be far more con- venient than that of other years, hold ing the overflow exhibitions in the State street Casino.
 Officers of the State Guard from Fairfield county will meet in Bridge port tomorrow night and after dinner at The Stratfield will go to the Auto show to be guests of Manager B. B. Steiber. The show is under the aus pices of the Fourth Infantry of the State Guard.
