PLANS MATURING FOR
BIGGEST MOTOR SHOW

With eighty-three different makes Of
automobiles and 200 accessory manu-
facturers listed as exhibitors, the Ma
tional Automobile Shows Of New York
and Chicago will be the biggest automo-
bile exhibitions ever presented in this
country.
The New York show win be held jan
uary TO 13. while the Chicago EXPOSE
ton In the Coliseum and First Regi-
ment Armory will be held January II
to February 3. Both displays are under
the direction OF the National Automobile
Chamber Of Commerce. The Grand
Central Palace will again house the New
York show. For the show, the four
floors OF the Palace that will be occu-
pied contain 100000 square feet Of
space. as each floor is equal to a city
square block In area. For the most part,
the cars will occupy the two lower floors,
but IL has been found necessary. because
of the great demand for space, to put
several of the cars on the third floor.
1t is little early to divulge what this
seasons show will bring forth but q
number of innovations are bound to be
presented.
Last week s. A. Mills, general man
ager Of both shows. returned to the city
and is now actively engaged in the pro-
motion of the exhibition.

GARLAND WILL ERECT
FINE BUILDING FOR CARS

George Garland, the well known dealer
Is building a new home for the Winton
and Velie Six at 41-4S West Sixty-third
street. just around the corner from the
present show room.
The new building will replace one that
has a wide reputation as the home OF
the horse. Early in 1902 the old struc-
ture was built by Allan Mclaughlin,
who organized the Standard Coach
Horse Company. 1t was probably the
finest and most luxuriously appointed
stable ever seen for the exclusive sale
Of carriage horses. 1t was kept just

Maxwell Motor Corporations closed-car
production. which has shown steady gains
throughout the year, has now reached a
point higher than ever before in the history
of the company. and, the unusually lars,

substantial indications that even the present

The Moon Motor Car Company OF St.
Louis reports that sales for October were
800 per cent. greater than for October. 1921,
and 20 per cent. of August sales. which was

words, October was within 80 per cent. OF
the companys high month.

NEW FEATURES AT
AUTOMOBILE SALON
Developments In Chassis De-
sign and Four Wheel Brakes
to Be Shown.

Important developments In chassis de-
sign will be disclosed at the eighteenth
annual Automobile Salon opening at
the Hotel Commodore, New York. on
December 8. Four wheel brakes. special
spring suspensions and even straight
eight motors will be found TO be al
most the rule rather than the excep-
ton. Sleeve valve motors also will fig
ure among the major developments,
while minor changes and reflnements
are said to be numerous In the new
models OF high grade cars TO be on ex-
hibition.
These developments are not confined
20 the cars from seven European ma
tons which are represented this year.
8 at least two OF the fourteen makes
of high priced American cars to be
shown embody marked changes in &C
cepted chassis design. Also the foreign
group includes several OF the postwar
types of small and medium sized cars
as well as the large. high powered ma
chimes for which the European makers
have long been famous.
AS IN previous years. the salon will
serve TO introduce the new styles and
fashions in custom coach work. Ac-
cording to precedent the carrosseriers
are keeping secret their new body de-
signs until the exhibition opens, but
the twelve prominent firms having spe-
cial coach work exhibits are certain to
show interesting developments In their
latest body creations. Incidentally the
participation of two European carros-
seriers, Millon-Guillet OF Paris and Otin
OF Lyons, France. will add measurably
10 this feature of the salon.
The recent addition of the Fiat from
italy and the Panhard from France,
both famous in automobile racing his
tory. bring the number of makes to be
exhibited up to twenty-seven. These
are the Benz Brewster. Cunningham.

PRACTICAL PARAGRAPHS.


A great convenience for the garage
door is a double hook, to open from
either side OF the door such hook
may easily be made from piece or stiff
iron bar, bent into the proper shape at
each end. A staple Is placed insids
pnd another outside appropriately placed
TO receive the hooks. 1t is necessary
TO drill a hole in the door, Of course, TO
permit the bent section OF the rod TO
PASS through.
Soft Ha,nmer.
A section Of bronze pushing stock
makes an admirable bronze hammer
which is useful for work about the
sheet metal parts Of the body and
tenders. BY threading a steel bar, run
ming on nut and then placing another
nut on the outside the head OF the
hammer is firmly retained.
FIashIfght Holder.
Many motorists carry slashiighs In
their cars, and this little piece of equip
ment is extremely valuable for ener-
gency use. 1t is an excellent idea 10

To Clean Upholstery.

ordinary whlsk broom cannot reach
the bottoms of these small deprsssions.
About the only thing that will is
painters brush with stiff bristles That

equipment.
Emergency Pin.
II. an emergency a temporary taper
pin may be filed from an ordinary nail
or stiff piece of wire to replace q
taper pin that has broken on the mag
netic drive or in some other important
location. This repair will serve until a
permanent replacement can be made,
but 1t is not in itself permanent.
OsciIlating Valves.
In grinding valves it Is Important
that they be lifted off their seats and
oscillated as the grinding proceeds BY
fitting spring under the head Of the
valve so as to lift the valve wherever
the pressure of the tool is tigh.ened
this operation Is greatly simplifed.
Car owners who use dry batteries
often have occasion to lament the brief
existence OF these devices. In many
cases the real reason why the dry bat
teries fail 30 rapidly Is simply because
they are not protected from moisture,
dirt and excessive vibration. 1t Is easy

an even coat OF melted paraffin wax to
render 1t moisture proof. The cover
should be made to fit flush with the box

NEUTRAL BOOST
GOT HOLLOCHER
JOB W|THCUBS
Wouldn't Give Opinion on
Shortstop to Mitchell, So
Fred Bought Him.

Sometimes a knock is as good az
q boost, though in this story it was
not exactly a knock-just an at
tempt to be neutral. and play fair
all around. Fred Mitchell, now man.
aging the Braves. tells the story.
He was managing the Cubs when 1t
happened. Charley Hollocher and
Fred Snograss are the chief figures
in the tale, which has to do with the
purchase by the Cubs OF the worlds
greatest shortstop several years ago
The Cubs had spent. according to
the inspection Of the books, as
Mitchell tells 1t, 100000 for short.
staps and none OF them had been
worth much, II anything. The team
had a yawning gap In that portion Of
the infield in spite OF all the money
spent.
Mitchell heard of the kid Hollocher
from st. Louis going so good with
Portland. He wanted inside info. on
him; Fred Snodgrass was Mitchells
close friend and Snodgrass was in
California and had seen Hollocher
play. So manager Mitchell wired
onoukTdbS IUT hH OpltllOn OH ftOl-
locher, etc. The answer came back:
Cant give you my opinion on
Hollocher: am under obligations to
American League club"
Mitchell got the message and fig
ured about two brief seconds. SO
Frind Snodgrass,, to keep faith with
the club he was under obligations to,
and which was after Hollocher,
wouldn't give opinion. Enough said.
Mitchell wired the Portland club for
best terms on Hollocher that day
and date and closed deal.
The American League club that
had previously asked Snodgrass to
pass on Hollocher had been too eau.
tious in accepting what Fred had
to say. II tried to get the Mo.
Credies to call Off the deal with the
Cubs; offered four or five times what
Hollocher had been sold for. But
the Chicago club stood on It's rights
and got this star Of shortstops-the
tip that led to the purchase having
been the very neutral opinion OF
Fred Snodgrass that he didn't care to
pass on the worth of the ball player.
1t was all the boost Fred Mitchell
needed.

BARTF|ELD IS
AFTER FORGING
JACK bR|TTON
Soldier Making Drive to Bring
About a Decision Contest
With WeIterweight.

NEW YORK, Aug. 7.Asoldier
Bartfield, conaueror OF Johnny
Wilson. Mike o'Dowd. Mike Glib.
bons. Jack Britton, Harry Greb.
Ted Kid Lewis and Phil Krus, and
uncrowned king Of the welterweight
and middleweight divisions Is max.
ing drive to force Jack Britton
to meet him in a decision contest.
Bartfield has filed a challenge
with the New York State Athletic
Commission and posted $4,000 as a
guarantee of good faith. Under
the rules Of the commission, Britton
will be compelled to meet him within
six months or forfeit his title. In
the event OF a match with Britton
and a victory by Bartfield, the latter
will Immediately issue a similar
challenge to the reigning middle,
weight title-holder. And in the
event Of victory in that division,
will proceed to challenge the holder
Of the light heavyweight title, Harry
Greb.
The Soldier has defeated the best
men In all three divisions, but the
battles took place in New York be
fore the present boxing law allowed
the rendering Of decisions, and while
the newspapers and sport authori.
ties conceded the victories. the box.
ing rules did not persnit the transfer
OF title.
Now that decisions are legal in
most Of the States, Bartfield has
found Il difficult to induce either
Britton or Wilson to enter the ring
with him.
