But when the modistes got busy it

Then they grew longer again.
Some years they were wide and
sometimes narrow. But try as they
would they could not get the trail

LATEST MO0e1 Is BENG SHOWN at NAM

By a special concession from the
Cadillac Motors company. the Wood
Motors company, local dealers. are
showing two models of the new 1922
Cadillac on their sales floors at Sixth
and Harrison streets. A phaeton and
a sedan are being shown. The show
ing is the first in the United States
and was occasioned by Free Fair week
in Topeka Altho the new models
have been ready for two weeks, no
dealers have been allowed to show
them.
A new Cadillac phaeton, one of the

possible for the motorist not only to
examine his engine for possible trou-
Bile at, night, but also to give attention
to trouble anywhere else on the car.
A solid mahogany wheel, with gas
and spark controls only consuming
two inches of room, gives the driver
perfect contentment insofar as direct
driving is concerned. The oil and gas
pressure as well as a number of am
peres, are condensed into one three
inch dial, in the cowl- The speedome-
ter dial. with the mileage register, is
accompanied by a clock. The ignition
and lights are also neatly designed.
The headlights are the latest word
in ingenuity. No Cadillac driver need
fear of annoyance by the law in any
city. A tense which does not blind, yet
gives light over a large radius is made
possible by a waving of the surface of

a change has been made in the body
lines and general appearance OF the
Cadillac. A longer, racier body is the
impression conveyed at first glance.
The roundness of radiator and hood
has been altered. The hood from

under the wheel, and is given a feel
ing of being directly in control of a
fleet, powerful machine. The body
INES are more severely longitudinal,
the straight up and down appearance
being conveyed generally.
In the sedan the body has been
even more changed. The bulky, un-
wieldy appearance that undoubtedly
favored previous. Cadi1lacs a little. has
disappeared. If a. combination of
complete comfortableness and high
powered speed can be imagined, tyou
have the impression given by q. 1inger-
ing look at the new Cadillac. The up
per half of the body is made of
aluminium, all one piece. This does
away with the possible breaking of
seams and corners.
