THAT CLOSED CAR SALON
By ]. H. YEoMANS.

The one Washington motorst who won't be al the
big Closed Car Salon. November IA TO 10 inclusive
has been discovered. He is the fellow who believes
prohibition is eecve-he is the lad who loves to pay
an income tax--he is the human with friendly feeling
toward the Maryland Motor Commission-he is the
mortal who is satisfied with the District authorities
parking regulations This is the Bird if there be such
a bird.
Can You imagine anyone with an eye and an ear for
what's doing in motorCom missing this big town dis
play of the best in closed carsf Can you imagine any
with their mind in this century neglecting an op-
portunty of seeing the finest and most modern IN
closed motor vehicles assembled under one roof with
lot of regular fellows just their toes to tell all
about 'em and what it takes TO get, emf Can You
imagine anyone passing up any exhibition staged by
the Washington Automotive Trade Assocation-the
vest most honest-to goodness trade association ever'
And boy! that show commitee-there S Rudolph Jose,
Ed Jones' John Dugan Noel Rosasco, Fred Prender
gast, j. j. Bartram, and w. P. Rayner-you remember
this combination and the big spring show they gave us
you remember that show? Well they're going to beat
that one.
There will be sedans coupes and what-nots-big
ones little ones you we never seen, some you have
and will be glad to see agaln-al worth while.
There will be fours, skies and eighs somber ones,
gay ones, and happy mediums-all honey and snug
like. There will be interesting appointments
things that go to make toays better than yester
days car. You'll be there-thats settled-you made
up your mind you heard about this show
and knew that the w. A. II. A. staging it.
Just one more thing, don't forget to lock the big
front door, because there won't be soul at home
show nights.

AUTOS GROWING
IN FAVOR WITH
TRAVELLING MEN
OId-Time Drummer Who Hug
ged Depot Platforms Now
Makes Own Schedules.

If there Is any one branch of en-
deavor apparently at the mercy OF
efficient train service ii would ap
pear to be the travelling statesmen
Yet, in the opinion of Harry Ohm
stead Of the local bort agency, the
average travelling representative has
made himself strikingly Independent
of railroad service.
Here are his reasons for this be
lief:
THE threatened strike was natural
ly the subject for much discussion
and when the matter was touched
upon the other day l was surprised
to find one of the party l knew to
he a travelling salesman did not
seem to be in the least perturbed as
far as his business was concerned
Naturally I asked him what he ex
pected to do in the event of rall
tie-up and his reply was that he ex
pected to keep right on going.
According to this mans story the
travelling fraternity, and particularly
that portion of 1t whose territory
is in any degree compact, has long
ago solved the transportation prob
lem with the aid of the motor car
Continually increasing railroad rates
with continually greater automobile
economy and enforced waits on train
schedules have automatically forced
the issue. Literally thousands OF
travelling statesmen today have found
a light, low cost car the best invest
ment they could make and not only
is this true of individuals, but OF
large companies which have purchas
ed whole fleets of cars for the use
of statesmen
consequently, not nearly so many
salesmen are found swapping stories

PUBLIC KNOWS
AUT0.NEED,SAYS
BR|SC0E LEADER
Clarence Earl Declares Consum-
er's Attitude Has Been
Definitely Fixed.

In the opinion OF Clarence A. Earl,
president of the Briscoe Motor Cor
poration, the public's attitude on the
buying of automobile has been def
nitely fixed.
1.-The public is anxious to buy cars
or at least, one of the points in the
land years of experience has made
the motorist wary and alert PRESENT
day value of a car, what 1 call extra
visible value, that Is what the aver
age car buyer nowadays looks Tor
when he walks in to inspect a car.
This is sales time when the
dealer and the manufacturer must
realize that the public is partner
or at least, one o fthe points In the
eternal triangle of sales. The pubic
Is entitled to, and should know, Just
what is going on in the industry. l
am n firm believer in extending this
confidence to the public and that Is a
policy to which we, at Briscoe, all
adhere.
"One of the biggest things the
automobile industry ever had happen
to il. was the realization OF what
constitutes quality In an automoblle'
by the general public. 1t is a great
thing to have your proposition un-
derstood-that is, tits great for the
manufacturer who is wholeheartedly
trying to produce what the public
wants.
I'm the early days of the automo-
bile industry, and the same thing
is perhaps true of every INDUS
try. the public was expected TO ab-
sorb whatever the manufactures OIL
fered. This situation was promptly
corrected when the public in its own
way have evidence of wanting a
voice in the making of cars"

|SEMMES' SHOWS
NEW COUPE Of
|DODGEBR0THERS
Improvement Considered to
Make This Ideal Car for
Winter Use.

Dodge Brothers improved coupe,
which may now be viewed at the
salesrooms of the Semmes Motor Com
pany local Dodge Brothers dealer, is
obviously a car which will contribute
much to the reputation of the MAX
ers.
The outstanding feature Of the car,
after it's motor and substantial ap-
pearance, is a minute attention TO all
those details which cater 10 the com
fort and convenience of the motOrist.
One feature certain to win approval
during cold weather Is the body heat.
er placed flush with the floor directly
in front of the passenger seat. This
heater is adjustable for summer or
winter weather, so that by means of
convenient lift control the heat can
be regulated. In summer the lever
is dropped back to normal and the heat
passes out through the exhaust pipe.
Disc wheels, done in black enamel
with cream stripe, enhance the appear
ance of Dodge Brothers coupe and
bring out TO advantage its substantial
lines other refinements are anti
rattlers which hold the windows firmly
in place and prevent vibration, and
weather strips in the doors, afford
ing extra protection in unpleasant
weather. The shopper need not worry
when she parks her car and leaves 1t
crammed with parcels, for both doors
are Yale lock equipped.
With the adjustable steering wheels,
the driver of the coupe may enter it
with ease from either side, and by
means of a latch the wheel can be
thrown up out of the way while get.
ting in the car and then thrown back
into normal position when ready for
driving.
The interior appointments will
satisfy the most fastidious. combining
rich mohair velvet upholstery with
natural black walnut garnished mould
ings and richly nickled handles for
raising and lowering the windows. The
Dodge Brothers motor, with it's repu.
tation for endurance and economy, has
not been changed.

MARSHAL FOCH
SEES AMERICA IN
LAFAYETTE CAR
Famous General Likes Smooth
Riding Machine Called for
Historic Namesake.

When Marshal Ferdinand Foch
rode forth in the American Legion
parade in Kansas City Tuesday it
was apparent that no detail which
would contribute to the fitness of
things had been overlooked, for Mar.
shal Foch and the entire French dele
cation of twenty-eight generals were
carried in cars bearing the name of
their distinguished countryman-La.
fayette.
The car in which the marshal him.
self rode was "a Lafayette sedan,
driven by a young French war veteran
who served in the Blue Devils dur.
ing the war. The young soldier in
uniform behind the wheel of Marshal
Fochs car added a picturesque touch
to the historic occasion. This car was
detailed for the personal use of the
famous general during his entire stay
in Kansas City.
Officials of the Lafayette company
are frequently told that the new
American car with French name"
Is winning much favor i'm high places
in France. The first Lafayette car
to go to France was a torpedo, shipped
for the United States in Paris.

Poultry on Roads

The presence Of poultry on the
highways is one of the problems
occasionally dealt with by the
Automobile Association a n d
Motor Union of England
In a recent case a flock OF sixty
or more turkeys were in the habit
of crossing and recrossing a main
road, and incidentally making it
very difficult for road users to
pass. Enquiries by the A. A.
ELECTED from the owner OF the
turkeys the information that they
were kept in a field opposite the
farm, but crossed the road for
their food. Immediately, however,
the danger of this practice was
pointed out, other feeding ar
rangements were made. and the
turkeys will, in future, only cross
the road at night time In charge
of one of his staff.

Importance of Universal Joints.

The universal joints are usually COW
cred with leather castings or boots
which are packed with grease. These
boots, when in good condition, insure
the proper fabrication of the moving
parts of the joints, keep out the dirt
and grit and aid in making the joints
noiseless 1t is advisable to inspect
these castings once month.

Saving a Cracked Windshield.

A crack in a windshield may be pre-
vented from getting worse by drilling
a hole at each end of the break with
an ordinary twist drill. 1t will be
necessary to keep the drill wet with
turpentine while drilling, and it is a
good plan to hold a block of wood be-
hind the glass to give support.

Rubber Tire Friction.

Never overload underinflated tires.
The average sized tire, properly inflat-
ed and carrying a normal load, reaches
a temperature of 140 degrees Fahren-
heit Just under the tread when run at
twenty miles an hour speed. At twen-
ty-five miles an hour the temperature
is raised to 155 degrees.

Testing for Shorts.

A short circuit always generates
heat, and in locating trouble without
instruments pass the fingers along the
line until warm spot Is felt. Once II
is found the system can be again put
in order by insulating the exposed wire
with rubbed tubing or tape.

Gasoline Connections

Never use white lead or other ma
terials containing oil to stop a leak in
the gasoline connection. The petrol
will dissolve the oil, thereby making

flashed momentary Indignation. She
had just heard that 1t had been pub
lished hero that her bridegroom hus-
band, Floyd Glotzbach, with whom she
returned on the steamship Berengaria
yesterday, had been chauffeur. Her
indignation. however. was short lived.
In n moment the opera singer had re-
gained her composure and went on:
But he was not q chauffeur. II
is true he hns been in the automobile
business in San Francisco. but he was
not a chauffeur. He was employed in
a secretarial capacity by his uncle, who
conducts an automobile business out
there. OF course he can drive car,
but IL that means that he Is chauffeur,
I am afraid that you, II you drive an
automobile, must be classed as chauf-
feur."
