Thieves Steal
Prize DESIGNS
AT Auto Show
Disappointed Competitors
Must Do Work Over Again
by October IL; Drawings
Considered of Real Value
Robbery Remains Mystery
Many Well known Artists,
Called as Judges, Present
at Grand Central Palace

The announcement of the prize win
ners in the competition among the
school children of the city for the
most original designs of closed car
bodies, which was to have been made
last night at the exhibition in the
Grand Central Palace, had to be post
poned when it became known yesterday
that the office of the show committee
had been robbed of virtually every
remaining were six which had been re-
ceived yesterday morning. AS re-
suit of this loss the contestants have
been asked to resubmit their drawings
and have been given until October 10
to do this. AT that time the prizes
will be awarded, as previously planned
The robbery took place some time be-
tween the hours of half-past II on
Tuesday evening and o'clock yester-
day morning. The committee is en-
ti1ely at loss to find any motive for
the act or to explain how 1t could
have occurred A great number of the
paintings had been submitted, and a
surprisingly large percentage of them
had unusual merit, which had been
recognized by the professional body
designers who had seen them.
The awarding of the cash prizes for
the best work in the contest was to
have been the eliminating feature of
Artists Day, as yesterday had been so
designated by the committee in charge.
group of nationally known artists
had been asked to act as judges of the
competition and great deal of inter
est had been aroused not only among
the school children themselves but also
among the artists and the members of
the Automobile Merchants Association.
Included in the list of the artists in
vited to be judges were Charles Dana
Gibson, Howard Chandler Christv. G G.
T.. Leyendecker. O. F.. Cesare. Clare
Briggs, Winsor Mckay and Sydney
Oxberry.
The competition was limited to the
students of the sixth seventh and
eighth grades of the elementary
schools and to those attending the bigI
chools, whatever their class. For tbe
high school pupils there were three
prizes Of $50, $25 and $15 respectivelv
Three prizes Of $25, $15 and $40 were
to have been given to the pupils Of the
seventh and eighth grades, and for
those in the sixth grade there we're
two prizes Of SIS and $40.
The conditions of the contest nro.
vided that the drawings must nresent
not only the design of the BODY hut
also the color scheme for its exterior
and interior. 1t was also specified that
no particular make of car be advertised
and that the designs submitted should
become the permanent property of the
show committee.
The high standard of excellence of
the paintings which had been handed
in to the committee had been agree
ably surprising to them, for they had
not expected such imagination of the
practical kind from the young boys
and girls of the public schools, and
New-York tribune., 1922-09-28

several days ago members Of the COM
naittee declared that there was no
doubt that many of the ideas EN-.
bodied in the drawings would be USED
by the coach designers in future mod
els. They had been congratuiating
themselves on the fact that they had
had the foresight to make 1t condi-
ton of the contest that the designs
should become their property and last
night they declared that they felt the
less of the paintings almost as mucf
as the contestants themselves.
After conference Of the members
of the committee yesterday afternoon,
following the discovery Of the robbery.
ii was decided that the only solution of
the problem which would be fair to
every one would be to announce the
unavoidable loss and ask the contest
ants to duplicate their work and re-
submit them to the show committee by
October II. These new drawings are
to be sent in care of that committee to
the Hotel Embassy, at Broadway and
Seventeen Street.
The announcement was accordingly
made last night, and most of the chill
dren personally interested in the out
come of the contest were there to hear
their fate. Regret was expressed on
all sides, but the greater part OF those
who were seen were able to recognize
the fact that the robbery could not
have been avoided and declared their
Intention of trying once more for the
prizes.
A thorough and careful investigation
of the mysterious disappearance is be-
ing made by the management, but so
far nothing has developed to bring sus-
picion upon any one. Ever since the
Cnfu ba bl,i n
ing has been guarded by corps of
special officers, who also are unable to
throw any light on the matter.
All other plans for the day came off
as scheduled. Many we'll known art
lists put in their appearance and, as
had been expected, drew large crowds.
Among those who visited the exhibit
were Charles Dana Gibson and his fam
tly, Howard Chandler Christy and his
wife, Neysa McMein, Winsor Mckay
c. Leyendecker. Gordon Grant, Joseph
Urban, Maxfield Parrish. Bud Fisher
"Tad," Fontaine Fox, Glare Briggs and
Sidney Oxberry.
Many of the automobile booths also
had their own artists fer the day, who,
much to the delight OF The spectators,
pictured before their eyes the special
features Of the car.
This evening will be Safety Night
at the show and number of interest
ing events have been planned for it.
An invitation has been extended to
the Gary committee, which is in charge
of the safety campaign Of greater New
York, to be present. They will be
rendered reception and an indorse-
ment Of the safety movement by the
show committee in The name of the
Automo obile Merchants Association 1t
is also promised that there will be
speeches and practical demonstrations
in connection with the program.

his acouaintances in London Christian
society. They thought him pushing" !"

just as he went to their house parties.
He was most unpopular, therefore,
when during weekend at the Win
sors his purse was stolen, and he de-
inanded with an impatient and un-
pretty indignation that he get it back.
There he stood in the first act, in his

mined and wearing forid dressing
gown, outraging Mr.. Winsor and Gen
eral Canynge with his quiet, steely
! innuendoes. Mr. Windsor shuddered
when his guest told him that he had
been 80 precautions as to lock his
door and TO hide his money in his

temptuously, when it was suggested
that he forego an inquiry.

told Mr.. Winsor and General Canynge
that he had intuitions. They're in

Croundhog To Be
Out Tomorrow

According to ancient legend tomor-
row the grounding will emerge from
his winter quarters to fix the condi-
tion Of the weather for the rest of the
season. If it is cloudy and he cannot
see his shadow he will remain out,
indicating that fair weather will pre-
vail, but if it is sunny and sight of
his shadow frightens him back into
his retreat, unpleasant weather will
hold sway.
To the supporters of this theory
the Weather Man has issued comfort
ing news. "Cloudy and probably
rainy, with mild temperature" was
his forecast. Following so closely
upon 2012 inches of snow, his predic,
ton would have been doubly comfort.
ing had he not declared that he, per.
sonally, was an unbeliever in the
grounding.
