MANY NEW CARS
MAKE DEBUT At
NEHYORK SHOW

! NEW YORK, January 9.-(Special
| respondence) -Four hundred mo-
! tor vehicles, comprising 80 different
/ makes, greeted the great throngs that
/ have come to New York to view the
! nations greatest automobile show.
/ The magnificent Grand Central Pal
4 ace-a blaze of glory-has been given
/ over entirely to the mammoth display
and every foot of its four floors of
/ space has been taken. The decora :
/ tions are simply indescribable, moth
/ ing having been left undone to give
/ this wonderful exhibit a setting such
as no other show has ever boasted of.
In the list of 92 different makes of
/ motor cars, IL new cars have made
/ their appearance for the first time in
! the New York show These cars are
4 the Durant, Earl, Rickenbacker, AM
! bassador, Leach -Biltwell, Goodspee1,
/ Handley- Knight, Wills Saint Claire,
! Bournonville, Kelsey and two for
eigners. ITALIA and Vauxhall.
The range of prices to be found in
! the great exhibit extends from S525
/ to $1,000 Seven makes, in open
models may be had at less than
$1,000 each, which is the largest num-
Der in this price class ever exhibited
at a national show. They comprise
the Buick Four, Chevrolet, Durant
Four, Overland, Dodge Brothers, bort
and Maxwell. The Locomobile sedan
is probably the most expensive in the
show it's price being $1,000, followed
closely by the Pierce-Arrow closed
models.
The six-cylinder cars represented
number 5S makes. There are 23
makes of four cylinder cars. Cole,
i -
st. Claire, Cadillac, King, Standard,
Oldsmobile and Peerless are the eirht
cylinder cars represented, while the
only 12-cylinder car shown is the

| its six. Buick. Nash and Durant are
displaying both fcurs and skies, while
! Oldsmobile is showing fours, skies
and eights. The sole representative
of the steam car lines is Stanley,
While three electric-Miburn, Detroit
and Rauch-Lang-are here.
Although there is a wider variety
of colors present, the absence Of deli
cate pastel shades is noticeable, the
paint jobs tending more to the dur
liable colors, and body lines and types
have been refined and useless frills
eliminated. The lower priced coupes
and sedans have made their appear
dnce and constitute q very respect
able number. The general trend in
closed car design shows that more
attention has been paid to leg-room
the cars are hung lower and better
fittings have been put in. Better
vision is also possible in the new
types, the windows being larger and
more easily adjusted. There are
more than $50 different accessory
lines exhibited, this constituting a
large part Of the show.
Probably one of the most unique
exhibits at the show is that of $780,
600 worth Of radiun, shown in the
form of radium luminous material,
many automobile appliances using
this material. A special jar several
feet long will contain the radium
material and dark room has been
fitted up especially to contain it. This
material is used in dials, gasoline
gauges and other appliances used in
automobiles to light them up at night,
eliminating the necessity Of the use
of matches.
Several conferences and dinners
are on the program for this week,
the first, held tonight, being the
Rubber association dinner at the
Waldorf Astoria. Tomorrow the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce viii stage rs annual dinner at
