FIRST AVIATION OPERA.

To Italy goes the honor Of pro-
ducing the first aviation opera. 1t
is called "Airman Dro," and is by
Pratella. 1t is a work of the Flu
turist school, although the critic of
the Corriere della Sera who attended
the premiere in Lugo reports that
the music is not unduly eccentric.
The most conspicuous Futurist note
is the noise of the airplane's engines
which is represented by motor
cycle in the wings. 1t is allowed to
"race" wildly through the last act.

REMARKABLE ADVANCE MADE
 BY AUTOMOBILE IN 25 YEARS

In less than fifty years the automo- bile has been developed from it's in- ventive origin, to it's present state.
 And in less than 25 years it's manu- facture has developed from nothing to way up, into the millions annually.
 That is the nutshell history of the horseless carriage. But to go farther and deal with the life of the gas-driven automobile that depends upon the ex- plosion of a charge of gasoline within it's vitais.
 Between 1883 and 1887 the modern auto was really born with the inven- ton, by Gottlieb Daimler. of small high speed engine. This was followed in the next year by a single cylinder. enclosed crank, fly wheel engine from the invention of Carl Benz of the hori- zontal. water jacketed engine.
 In 1889 Panhard and Levassor of Paris bought Daimler's patents for q two cylinder engine and constructed from them what might be termed the first true gasoline car
 Factories began springing up in France and such Americans as Duryea, Haynes and Apperson brought forth Yankee inventive genius in this coun- try. Before long uncouth little ve- hicles were chugging and snorting around the streets.
 It was in 1893 when the first motor

SPEEDWAY RACE AT LOS ANGELES
 ON FEBRUARY z

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 5.-<Special)-- With nine drivers signed up Tor the series of five races to be staged on the Los Angeles Speedway at Beverly Washington's birthday and the list open for another week there is every probability that elimination speed trials will be found necessary 1n order to cut the number of starters down to the limit of eighteen. Those already entered to date are: Tommy Milton. Ralph De Palma, Eddie Hearne, Kos COG Sarles. Jimmy Murphy, Alton Soules, Eddie Miller, Al Thfele and another driver still to be nominated by Fred Deusenberg.
 The majority of those already en- tered have named the cars they are To drive, but there is still some question with regard to one or two. De Palma, of course. will be at the wheel of his new French Ballot He has had 1t out on the Beverly course several times within the last few days and 1t is rumored that the car has shown wonderful speed. De Palma however, is always rather ayerse to giving out advance data on the performance Of his car and in tryouts here for the opening event year ago never let his car out to anywhere near it's limit ex- cept when the newspaper men and outsiders are elsewhere.
 Regular practice will begin. however, on Monday and the rail birds" will then be given a chance to look a few
 of them over on tie track Frederick Wagner, official starter of the Ameri- can Automobile association. and who
 made the trip west for the sole pur-
 pose of officiating at the coming event, will be in full charge of all practice Wagner is a veteran of the racing game and has officiated at practically
 every big event in the east, and many
 on the coast. including the Thanksgiv- 1 ing event here and also the Panama- Pacific exposition race in San Fran 1 cisco five years ago.
 l Much favorable comment has been aroused over the determination of the l Speedway management to divide the program up into five short events rathr than a mile race. This. how
 ever, does not affect the award of points for the A. A. A. drivers cham pfonship for 1921, and the coming event will have added interest because

preme court broke up the Selden mo- nopoly and decided it was unnecessary to obtain a license and pay royalty before manufacturing new motor vehicle.
 In 1899. when first figures were available. there were 5000 motor cars in the country. The annual produc- tion jumped from 3700 in that year to 1000 four years later.
 When litigation over the Selden patents finally ended in 1911 the an nual production figure had climbed to 210,000. And then the release, to auto mobile makers. to produce without fear of infringement on older patent rights. sent production rapidly upwards In 1914, according to United States census reports, the mark was 569, 045. In 1916 It ran over a million and a half.
 From then on the figures have been: I917-1867,947, 1918-1, ,153,637: 1919-- l,974,0I6.
 The jump in the year 1917 was largely due to the large number of motor cars shipped overseas at the out break Of the war. The slump in the following year was due to the United States entering the war and a great many factories being turned over to war work.

TIRE SIZES I ] BE
 STANDARDIZED

LONDON. England. Jan. 2S-Fol- lowing the example of the automobile and tire manufacturers in the United States. the Institution of Automobils Engineers has worked out a series of standard sizes for tires which will be adequate 10 the requirements of all cars made in England.
 British tire manufacturers have all ready decided to suspend production Of tires not included in the standard list. They are. however, continuing to supply such tires to those who have automobiles that require them, but this supply will dwindle as new automo- piles are brought up.
 It was in 1917 when partly as q war measure and partly to make for cheapness in production, the American tire and automobile manufacturers came to an agreement on certain definite sizes for the whole industry. The result has been that no car has since been made whose wheels would require tires of irregular size
 The British manufacturers have tho same purpose in securing cheapness and better production in view. Stand ardization of the tire sizes will also make for more accurate manufacture, 1t is contended. because an entirely new series of molds will be made for the new sizes.
 The automobile manufacturers in England have agreed not to produce models hereafter that will call for tires of other than the standard sizes.

"HOWDY" WILCOX PEUGEOT
 IN FRENCH RACE

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 5-When the famous Grand Prix road race for the automobile supremacy of France is seased over the roads near Strassbourg m July there will be entered at least one driver who showed his tires to the crack pilots of two continents in an international 500-nie race over the famous Indianapolis motor speedway course
 He will be "Howdy" Wilcox of In dianapolis, who scampered across the finish line winner in the Indianapolis race in 1919.. Howdy was driving a Peugeot and he will pilot a Peugeot in the Grand Prix
 Wilcox has also been named to drive Peugeot in the 5O0- mile race to be held at Indianapolis motor speedway, May 30. It is said he may captain the French Peugeot team in case Jules Goux decides to remain overseas to prepare the Peugeot cars for the French Grand Prix. According to Will cox two PeSgeots will be entered in the indianapolis classic and as soon as the race is over he will go immediately to France and prepare for the historic French race.
 While two Peugeots will be nomi- mated for the coming race in Indiana polls, four cars will start in the Grand Prix.' Six racing Peugeots are already under construction and the two cars to be raced in Indianapolis will not start in the foreign event.
 Three Peugeots with Wilcox, Goua and Andre Boillot were entered in last years event at Indianapolis, but the cars of new design and type could not stand the gruelling punishment and fell by the wayside before the race neared the finish. The Peugeot fac. tory is out to retrieve lost honors ir the racing world and it is said thi. years cars will be marvels of efficienc, and speed.
 Wilcox is the first American drive, 10 announce his coming participation in the French Grand Prix and although he will not be driving an American made car he will be backed by numer- ous racing enthusiasts in this cline He is highly respected by the French for hls fearless driving and excellent geueraiship and will undoubtedly be g favorite with the French race enthusi- asts who appreciate daring skill.

MaxlUell-ChaIn1ers
 NoLD On NelU Basis

The significance of Walter P. Chrys- ler's statement regarding the comple- ton of the Maxwell Chalmers reorgani- zation, issued during the New York Automobile Show, is apparent to every one directly or indirectly connected with the motor car industry
 MT. Chrysler, as chairman of the re- organization committee, issued the fol- lowing signed statement: The reor- ganization plan of the Maxwell Chal- mers Motor company, as originally formulated has been declared opera tive. This assures an additional S15,- 100000 and a powerful management. The new and strong organization, and the large additional capital, forecast manufacturing and sales operations of increased magnitude. The company enters. the 1921 selling season with two of the most favored cars on tho market
 In effect this means that, in a finan cfal and orga niZation sense, the Max we'll Chalmers properties are now on a par with the magnificent physical con- dltion to which they have been brought during the last several months.
 During the process of rebuilding and strengthening the organization of the joint companies, which has been under MT. Chrysler's direction since last fall, things have been accomplished that approach a manufacturing and mer- ehandising miracle.
 Not only have the inventory and stock been placed on sound basis, but plant improvement has been wrought in many directions. Additions have been made, eliminations have been made, and everything has been done that modern manufacturing experience points to a improving both the plant operations and the finished product
 All of this has been the result of a long, shrewd look into the future Of the motor car industry. and Of the Max well-C Chalmers business in particular. Physical fundamentals and details have been placed on q basis adequate not only for the coming years requirements. but for those of years to come. With the new capital now available, tho re- organization committee feels that all the tools are in hand to work out a brilliant and highly satisfactory futI1ra for the consolidated Maxweu-Chalr,er,. companies.

was built by Fred Kimban of Boston In 1888.
 A French concern produced light passenger car in, 1901 which was fol- lowed by a British make and an American make in 1902. From then on the development of electric autos has been rapid in England, France and America.
 Probably the latest thing in elec- trically driven machines is an inven- ton by Charles P. Steinmetz, noted electrical scientist. It is an electric vehicle which. it is said, will be 25 per cent lighter in weight and can be manufactured for one-third less cost, than the electric car of the past. The motor of this machine. on down grades, automatically becomes a gen. orator. acts as a brake and feeds elec- tric current back into the battery. Another feature of this car is the elimination of the differential whose work is done by the motor itself. The motor is so constructed that the field and armature revolve in oppssire dlgec- tions. each propelling one of tEe rear wheels
 Use of the motor truck was limited to only the larger industries of the country, until the war revealed its benefits. Its meritorious performalc in France resulted in a rapid rise ss

number of interesting tales as to novel performances of Morelands in some of those countries.
 In New South Wales he found 4 ton Moreland truck being operated by the government railway department between Grafton and Lismore in regu- lar service. This is a distance of 200 miles. A passenger body weighing between 8 and 10 tons was mounted on the truck which was equipped with solid steel wheels with flanges to fit the ordinary railroad rails upon which 1t ran. Coupled behind the truck was a flat car trailer upon which milk was hauled from the dairy section This truck has been in service for about three years running daily over this route with practically no mechanical difficulties whatever.
 While I was in the office of the comptroller" says MT. Bohanon. "he to his chief engineer. These figures showed that this big 4-ton truck aver aged l4 miles to a gallon of gas. It also showed that it had given the railroad a net profit of over 200 pounds sterling, or approximately 5000 in U. s. gold, per month. He also stated the figures showed that in proportion to the size of the unit this truck was the best paying investment on the New South Wales railway. So successful has been this operation that the addi- ton of 20 of these rail motors in New south Wales and Victoria is being seriously considered
 In Adelaide, Australia, Mir Bohanon found F ton Moreland, five years old. in use by a big wholesale grocery firm. During this time this truck has been running between Adelaide and Port Adelaide regularly, making two trips a day. hauling heavy groceries from the wharf 10 the store. An ordi- nary old farm wa gon was fastened be- hind for a trailer. The average load on this E ton truck and the old wagon trailer was between and g tons.
 One man drove the truck constantly except for a period of six weeks. Dur Ing this time a new driver knocked down a brick wall with it and then drove 1t through the side of a garage It was then for the first and only time overhauled, repaired and repainted.
 T saw this truck go by says MT. Bohanon. while l was in Adelaide in October. It passed the agency run ming as nicely as d new truck They told me that outside of the work neces- sitated by the rampage of the new driver practically nothing had been spent on the truck in repairs in the five years of it's service This com pany Is now waiting the arrival of their third Moreland'
