FOR AUTO SHOW.
Decorative Art of Seven
tenth Century to Pre-
dominate at Show.
ENTIRELY new PLAN

Decorative art of the Adam period,
seventeenth century, will predominant
among the interior furnishings CT the
Coliseum and First Regiment Armory
when the doors are opened on the
twenty-third annual Chicago automo-
bile SHOW. Charles Tietzel, noted
scenic artist, has prepared the art
scheme for the gigantic exposition,
which will be staged Jan. 81 to Feb s..
R. and j. Adam were foremost among
designers and won renown in their
time as architects to the King of Eng
land
Exhibit Large Paintings.
"At the south end of the Coliseum
will be a painting 120 feet long and 80
feet high. The subject will be an open
landscape of springtime. A painting of
the Rocky Mountain Pass will appear
at the north end. The balcony front
will consist of series of paintings of
airy springtime figures, blossoms and
various landscapes, 500 feet long and
10 feet high"
AS an innovation the balcony and
ceiling of the Coliseum will be covered
completely with painted canvass, which
will add individuality to the exhibits.
The complete color scheme is to be
green, white and gold, with various
tones of pink and crimson.
Hanging directly under the ceiling
will be thirty-three huge steel flower
receptacles, each fifteen feet in diane
ter and suspended by tasseled ropes to
the ceiling. These receptacles will add
considerably to the effect of spring.
Hundreds of Lamp Shades.
Five hundred lamp shades, each
three feet in diameter and of art glass
effect, with blossom design, will add to
the beauty of the decorations. AS a
whole, the decorations will be more
brilliant than have any before seen at
the big exposition. The scheme in the
Annex and the Armory is along the
same lines as in the Coliseum On the
division lines of the main floors of the
show buildings groups and columns of
large vases will be large picket fence
finished in various tones of bronze.
A "fact contest" is announced in
conjunction with the annual display of
motor creations. At the last display
the walls and pillars were utilized to
show placards, on each of which was
printed fact relating to the magni-
tude Growth, economic value and other
features concerning the motor car in
dustry.
For the novel contest that has just
been arranged the same type of plac-
ard, setting forth similar facts, prob
ably rs or 100 in all, will be used.
Each will be numbered. AS an entrant
the sole requirement will be that the
visitor select the fact which he or she
considers of greatest Importance and
write brief comment or opinion.
At the close of the exhibition the
votes will be listed and the placard Sc
lected by the greatest number will be
considered to have set forth the most
important fact. A committee will then
pass upon the merits submitted on this
particular fact to determine the win
ners of the prizes.
Three Prize Contests.
The above prize offering will be in
addition to the competition for the
best answers to three questions, sa
follows:
"In what way is the Chicago Auto
mobile show Of value to the general
public ?"
"In what way is the Chicago Auto
mobile show Of value to my company 2"
"In what way is the Chicago Auto
mobile Show of value to me ?"
AS in other years, the show week
will be filled with succession of con-
ventions, dinners and meetings. The
show, itself, by reason of recent addi-
tions to the lists of exhibitors, will be
a record breaker. In addition to the
eighty manufacturers of complete mo-
tor cars, which means approximately
400 different models, more than 200
makers of parts and accessories have
taken space, greater number than
