RECORD DISPLAY OF MOTORS
WILL MARK EXTENSIVE SHOW
Expects Great Sales Boom Here From Results
Of Event.

Practically every industry has
some sort of sign post that
marks the opening of a new sea-
son. With the automobile trade the
National Automobile Shows are in
dicative that manufacturers dealers
and public have begun a new year,
and 1t Is with great enthusiasm
that the motor car industry is look
ing forward to the record display
of automobiles that will take place
in Grand Central Palace, January Z
to "a.
Abroad the new automobile sea-
son begins in the fall and alread,
London and Paris have held their
shows with very satisfactory re-
suits. Now the eyes of motordom,
not only in America, but also in
Europe are turned to New York
to see what American manufactur-
ers will offer at the twenty-second
| annual exhibition. With ninety
four different makes of cars on
the floors of the Palace the display
of. automobiles will be the most
| representative one ever seen in the
United States. II each manufac-
| turer shows a complete line. near
| ly 400 cars will be on exhibition.
| One of the features OF the display
will be the showing OF nine new
cars.
A big factor in the favorable out
| look is the attitude Of the dealers.
These men located in branch Offices
throughout the country are the first
| to feel the pulse of the public. and
that they think a buying movement
Is on the way is evidenced by the
manner in which they are making
applications for tickets. Never be-
fore has the Automobile Chamber of
Commerce. which sponsors the au-
| tomobile shows, experienced such a
demand from the men who sell
motor cars. This reveals one i'm
portant fact, to wit: Automobile
dealers have more prospects on
their books just now than they have
had for some time past
s. A. Miles, general manager of
both the New York and Chica %
sections OF the National Shows, Is
| trying hard to squeeze more ex-
hibitors into the Palace. for he has
list of applications totaling Zoe
that came in too late to- secure
booths. Last week the engineers
who laid out the floor plans dis
covered that by rearrangemeni

exhibition space. when this wa,
done several more accessory firms
were accommodated.
Not only are the automobile men
looking forward to a banner week
in New York, but---the hotels,
theaters and department stores are
anticipating one Of the busiest
periods in their history. Thousands
Of automobilists will be here for the
show. and undoubtedly the pre-
cedent of previous years. when
hundreds of foreign representatives
came here, will also be followed
Dinners and theater parties will be
a feature of the week.
While the program of the business
side of the week has not been COM
pleted 1t is evident that manufac-
turers, dealers and accessory men
will hold many important sessions
To date more than 100 meetings and
conventions have been scheduled
New York City will surely be the
Mecca of automobile men from all
parts of the world during the first
two weeks of January.

new LICENSE SIGN
HELPS OFFICIALS
Eliminates All Numbers on
Plate in Darkness
Of Night.

Ever since the automobile indus
try has been esta blished it has been
essential that some sign or num-
Der should be shown on the cars to
designate to whom they belong or
by whom they are being controlled.
so they would aid the traffic depart
ments and officials on the roads in
apprehending the offenders in case
they violated any of the rulings or
traffic laws. This designation was
done by issuing to the owners Of
cars license plate which is in
common use today throughout the
United States.
The license plate when placed in
position generally has lamp
placed so as to reflect on the num-
bers to show the designated colors
of the various states. This lamps
| reflection is supposed to show the
numbers of the license at night, but
only a part of the plate and num-
bers are illuminated. In many cases
the entire license number cannot be
seen. Besides. the plates get dirty
and even in the day the numbers
are difficult to see, and at night
they are Of little use. This license
has been very unsatisfactory to the
traf1c departments and the officials
out on the road and on this account
the new automobile illuminated
license sign which has been in
vented by William r. Garner, and Is
so constructed with the rear lamp
and .license-sign in order to show
all the numbers on the license plate
in the night time and the red bulls
eye Is plainly seen at an angle of
forty-five degrees at right and lief,
angles to the curb from any posi-
ton in the rear of the automobile
The lamp that furnishes the light
for the bulls-eye is also used in
! furnishing the light for the license
/ numbers on the sign plate. In the
cabinet there is a reflector which
| throws the light through the num-
| hers on the license pate from en1
to end and thereby furnishing all
the brilliancy to. the numbers so
they can be seen at least 200 feet
or more away. The cabinet is very
cheaply made not costing any more
than ordinary rear signal lamps
and is durable and water and due,
tight and will last as long as any
other rear lamp made. and at tn,
same time the license plate is free
from rust. The combinations of thu

states are made by the Hcrr,.

Q. Please tell me what care
should be taken of car before
putting it up for the winter in an
unheated garage. Besides draining
off all water. should the oil be
drained also, and the engine flushed
with kerosene? What should be
done about the storage battery?
Also, is it advisable to have the car
thoroughly washed and cleaned?
A. Jack the car up and support
1t in such a manner as to have all
the tires clear of the ground. 1t is
well to let half the air out Of the
tires. The body should be washed
SO as to be free from any dirt or
foreign matter that may harden
during the winter and cause dam
age when removed in the spring.
The water should be drained, of
course. Add an extra quart OF oil
and run the engine for five or ten
minutes just before laying up so
that everything becomes we'll coat
ed with oil. Do not drain the oil
off until car is again put in use.
Kerosene should never be used for
flushing unless one is sure that
none remains to mix with the new
oil. 1t is better to flush with new
oil. A thorough cleaning is advis-
able in that 1t prevents grease and
dirt from becoming hard and trou-
blesome for removal when car is
again put into service. The storage
battery should be removed and
placed in storage with a reliable
battery station where II can be in
diligently cared for. The charge
for this service is very nominal.
Q. The other day my horn started
blowing and continued doing so I'M
til l removed the wires from the
battery. There was no trouble
with the button as an examina-
ton afterward proved. Found that
one wire was grounding at the
horn but do not understand why
that should make it sound as I am

to fifteen days after harvest. Bar
riers, therefore, must be maintained
from the time of migration until pos
sibly two or three weeks have elapsed.
Sow Trap Crop.
It will be found Of much value to
sow two drill widths of millet between
corn and the nearby fields of wheat
and rye. The more quickly this is
done the better. so as to make as good
growth as possible of this trap crop
before the bugs attack it. When the
bugs have migrated into the trap
crop it should be plowed seven or
more inches deep. Care must be
taken to pillow deeply and well, then
to pack the ground with drag or
harrow or roller. Little time or work
is required to make this strip and the
cost is small. 1t has hitherto been
found very profitable.

GOT ACQUAINTED WITH ROAD
Writer Took Harriman's Advice and
Studied the Eric Line Before
Writing About 1t.

Some Is years ago John q. Cara
her, as financial writer for the Wall
Street News Bureau, was assigned to
cover the office and affairs of the late
e II. Hartman. He once boldly beard
ed Mr.. Hartman upon what financing
was in stone for the Erie railroad.
"What do you know about the Erie?'
snapped the great financier.
Everything" assured the youthful
aspirant for information, adding !:
"Why, Mr.. Hartman, l have ridden
over ito Paterson, N. j., and Nyack,
N. Y"
"Whatr' roared Mr.. Hartman. "You
go at once to President Underwood
of the Erie, tell him sent you, and get
transportation to cover the entire
system. Then you go out and learn
something about the Erie. Come and
see me when you return and will
answer your questions"
Mr.. Caraher Erie-ed for fortnight
and after again seeing Mr.. Hartman
wrote an Erie article that was well
worth reading.
A coward is man who knows he is
wrong. but refuses TO admit it.
