BY WILLIAM ULLMAN.

Always q subject of intense interest
70 young and old, the automobile has
iust been discovered to be in process
of turning a new and rather startling
surprise. 1t has been instrumental in
effecting widespread social and
economic revolution in America, and
now it is commencing to revolutionize
itself.
The changes wrought by the mod
ern motor car are a matter of common
knowledge" says a prominent automo-
tive engineer. but the present season
Is indicating the fact that the automo-
bile does not even spare itself. The
motor cars for 1924 show many out
standing changes, and the automobile
itself is chiefly responsible"
These changes are of particular in
terest to the motorist, because he has
followed the development of the auto
mobile carefully and can appreciate
what these changes mean to him and
to all who are affected by motor trans
portation.
1t is pointed out. for example. that
the trend toward the closed car is due,
not to any unusual public demand for
coziness and protection from weather,
but to what the automobile itself has
been able to do to closed-car factory
production Without the automobile
and the popularity OF motoring which
it created. closed bodies would still be
beyond the reach of the average person
and would. therefore, not be enjoying
the present vogue.
Process OF Development.
II is the increasing value of the au-
tomobile in daily social and business
life that has made all-season, all
weather motoring a necessity. The de-
Mand for closed models has developed,
as a matter of course
Strange as IL may seem, the self
starter was not adopted because of any
desire on the part of the public for
ingenious mechanical devices. Old
timers well remember how the average
Chauffeur was reluctant to adopt the
new idea in starting the engine be-
cause he enjoyed" cranking the car
by hand. What brought the self
mobile itself. 1t made itself SO indis-
pensabIe that people found hand crank
ing interfering with the effectiveness
of their motoring.
Conventions and customs are shown
TO have been upset by the introduce
tion of the automobile into the mod
ern scheme of things, but it does not
even spare It's own conventions. 1t
isn't very long ago that one looked
with pity upon the man who dared
OF an automobile. Yet today it is
safe to smoke a cigar sitting in the
front compartment of closed car
which may mean smoking within
three feet of vacuum tank and car
Auretor.
Auto Worked Problem.
Much of this increased safety is due
to less volatile gas, but gas is still
an outstanding hazard and one must
look to. the automobile itself for an

That only three weeks were re-
quired in the tremendous amount Of
detail and construction work neces-
sary to transform the armory from
its almost Oppressive somberness OF
ordinary times to the palatiai scene
Of light and beauty that was pre-
sented when the automobile show
opened yesterday, IL tribute to the
manager of the national show.
, As the drill hall stood when IL was
turned over to Mr.. Miles, it was
simply great space, dominated by
-FOUR lob nm. guns that are the par
ticuiar pride of the 158th Field Ar
tillery. Even these monster imple-
ments OF war-eight of which played
their parts in the St Mihiel offensive
and the eliminating drive OF the
world war through the forests OF
the Argonne-appeared lost on the
edges of the great floor. These guns
are now parked on the west terrace
of the armory under strict military
guard, where they constitute a side
| show to the bigger attraction in the
drill hall.
Soventy-four Makes Of Oars.
Seventy-four different makes of
cars, Of which seven are taxicabs In
the section devoted to that type of
car. are on display. In all there are
nearly 500 complete motor cars in
the twenty-fourth annual show. In
addition there are about ESQ exhibit
ors of accessories and parts. In the
value Of the exhibits il is immsas-
urably the most important exposition
of it's kind in the history of the in
dustry. 1t is only a short span OF
years but a long time in progress to
the inaugural motor car show in
Madison Square Garden in 1900, when
sfxty-sfx pioneers in the then infant
industry displayed their horselse
carriages to a reluctant, if not de-
risive, public.
The current automobile show 10.
as matter OF fact, the first almost
since the beginning of the century
that the industry has really had all
the room 1t requires for a complete
display. 1t outgrew the main floor
of the Garden after the first year or
two, and overf1owed into the upper
spaces of that structure. Soon IL I'm
pressed into service also a nearby
armory of not inconsiderable area,
but even this failed to meet the de-
mands for space. When Grand Cen
trail Palace was built it was hoped
that the national auto show prob
lem had been solved. but even four
floors there proved inadequate. The
armory used this year Is the last re-
sort, as 1t is improbable that anything
larger will be available for a long
time to come. 1t is interesting to

apparent that the automobile has
shattered many motoring customs
simply through its own popularity.
It could not be popular unless these
customs were done away with
Many OF the things car owners are
doing today-things which the auto
mobile now demands-wtll soon go by
the boards. Tire changes will doubt
less be among those customs slated
for the discard, while II is even pre-
dicted that the automobile of q few
years hence will not require q ga
rage. These changes. whether many
or few, will simply be the result Of
the automobiles characteristic abil-
ity to shatter customs.
II you don't believe Il just remind
yourself the next time you arc driving
forty miles an hour over q concrete
road that It was only yesterday when
you thought you were speeding at

MAKING STARTER WORK.
Taking Foot Or Gives Engine
Chance for Quick Spin.

Many hints are offered to motorists
for starting the engine in cold
weather. but it might mean moro to
the driver to know the reason behind
each suggestion.
He is told, for instance, that II the
engine does not start right away he
should take his foot off the starter
button an instant and try again. But
start can always be had IL the engine
is given a quick spin, as this in
creases the compression. The heavy
wire from battery to starter offers
the maximum discharge, and thus
when the starter II used intermit-
tently it more nearly approximates

The facts reveal great improve.
the real reasons for the possibility of
reducing the fire hazard. The car
, buretion on some of the early cars
was so bad that the, exhaust FUMES
carried enough unburned gas to blew

The automobile has even changed
its seating capacityi Time was when
the family with a hve-passenger car
felt that fortune had not smiled gen.
timely because 1T could not display it
| self in seven-passenger machine.
There was much talk about the self
ishness of the people who selected
roadsters and coupes.
But the automobile has made itself
so indispensable that 1t is fast be-
coming a one-man proposition. There
| is soon to be a car for every one who
needs personal transportation, with
the result that extra seats will be for
emergency use only. The passing OF
vention is being accomplished by the
automobile as easily as 1t is chang
ing our idea of time and space.
Changes Own Customs
Motordom hears a great deal about
| the changes the motor car has made
in dress. habits vacationing, society,
| health and business, but the changes
it has made in its own customs are
they serve to suggest the many ad-
ditional changes which the world

The matter of traffic best illustrates

useful that it commences to stumble

| lice force of the country fiabber-
gasted over the situation and the
easy going public plainly told that
it's custom of having the right Of
way over all vehicles Is ruthlessly
| shattered.
In situation of this sort one would
expect action from those who are af-
fected by such a radical change in
conventionalities- But the nature of
the automobile, and those who design
it, seems to be to step into the breach

Old Clothes Discarded.
One is justified in entertaining such

that a motoring custom was to wear

The need of a great American uni

by William NICK Clayton at a meet

STATUE OF CARRARA MARBLE

With the completion of a heroic

Along with the expert statesmen the
farmer is hiring expert advertising
men to handle great sales campaigns
to sell producer-brands Of raisins and
oranges and butter and ice cream and
prunes. Producers are stancardizing
their products and advertising their
brands both nationally and interna-
tionally. In one year, 1922, four Of the
cooperative organizations alone spent
over four million dollars on advertis-
ing. Two and one-half million was
spent by the Sun Maid raisin growers
