Eighth Coast Artillery
Armory Selected for
1924 Event.

New York, March 17.-Because of
the continued growth of the national
automobile show held annually in New

forced to abandon its custom of hold
ing the event at the Grand Central
Palace. The 1924 exhibition will be
held in the Eighth Coast Artillery

This armory is the largest exhibit
ton building in the world not having
interior pillars. 1t affords 100000
square feet of unobstructed ground
floor space and $4,000 square feet in

press stations of the Lexington ave-

STORY OF THE MOON

Neon Motor Car Company, st. Louis,

There Is an interesting story OF how
the Moon found itself. 1t is one Of
those bits of business romance which
Only too seldom creep into industry.
For many years, Moon automobiles
.were not a great deal unlike the aver
age leading cars that were offered to
the public. Appearance, construction
and performance were worthwhile
enough to attract q fair demand for
Them, but there was nothing that took
the Moon and raised it above the
plane Of its class.
Each year at the plant our en-
gineers would follow the latest en-
gineering dicta and keep the Moon
Dup to the period. in matters of motive
Improvement. However, there was
decided lack of inclination to get
away from the general style and ap-
pearance Of automobiles as a class.
I'VE were content to be one OF the
humber of well-accepted motor cars.
However, something else was work
Ing in the mind of Steward McDon-
S~eeesident of the company. He
kaw an opportunity for some manu-
facturer to gain success by "squaring
AWAY from the flock" He felt that an
appeal to the desire for distinctive
hess in design and outer appearance
would answer tremendous untitled
iemand. And SO, Moon started to
make new trails.
Early in 1919 appeared the Victory
model Moon, a motor car entirely diff
ferent from any other car that had yet
been produced. A corps of body en-
sineers had designed a body contour
That was distinctive. German silver
trimmings, the chaste radiator design
and a score of new refinements were
or the first time offered for public
approval. And they went over.
President McDonald's belief that
Ear individuality was desired was i'm
nediately justified in the public's re-
action to the Victory model This idea
has dominated Moons body efforts
bince 1919 and it accounts for the
startling success that the car has ex-
berienced.
In 1922 the sales more than doubled
hose of any preceding year. So great
were the December sales that the fac
tory's production was unable to keep
bace with it. This is extremely graft
Tying, since there is generally a dull
beriod at the end Of the year. How
over, an unusual demand for Moon
Enclosed cars has enervated such a
tendency, and now we have that most
Desirable condition of full capacity
production every month Of the year.
Moon distributors throughout the
world have placed their orders for
1923 and the company's present
schedule calls for more than $4,000
ears during the year.

'",The Irish Free State is now a

less and misguided faction to tear

This is the conviction of Francis
J. Kilkenny, originator of the

that the Irish Free State will win
the approval of the civilized

points out, "has made tremendous
progress since it's inception. The
appointment of Timothy NJ. Healey
as Governor General, proved, beyond
a doubt, England's sincerity toward
Ireland.
while the Irishman is a fighter
when he believes it necessary, the
Irish as a people are given to the
pursuits of peace. There is no bet
