ATTENDANCE At.

Despite Weather Exhibit This
Year Promises to Eclipse
All Others.

That this years automobile dis
play will eclipse both in attendance
and enthusiasm all previous exhibit.
thong conducted by the Washington
Automotive Trade Association was
the prediction last night Of Rudolph
Jose, manager of the show.
Mr.. Jose's prediction is based on
the record attendance scored during
the first two days show in tho face
Of what, he said, is probably the
worst weather conditions local
motor car shows have ever encoun-
tered. Yesterdays attendance, both
in the afternoon and evening, far
exceeded that Of Monday and the
closing hour last night saw a num-
Der Of additional ''sold'r cards put in
place on a number of the choice
exhibits.
The wide variety Of the exhibits
this year 10 given credit also by
Manager Jose for the interest dis.
played. These include not alone
passenger cars of one type az dur.
ing the fall show, but they are
shown in every type Of open and
closed model manufactured.
Another feature OF the exhibition
10 the appearance of q number of
heavy motor trucks and light deliv.
cry vehicles. These lend a business
touch to the show and Is a gentle
reminder amid the festivities that
the automobile is essentially q
worker.
Visitors interested in safer driv-
ing will find numerous improve
ments in the design and control Of
the commercial vehicles on display.
Quite as much attention has been
given to brakes on commercial
cars as on passenger models, and
in the case OF some light delivery
cars the chassis carry the same in
novations as those of the CORES
ponding passenger vehicles.
No less of an attraction than the
automobile itself are the accessories
that provide comfort, safety and
lowered cost Of upkeep. There is a
liberal display Of these devices on
the mezzanine and their operation
last night kept them continually
surrounded by large crowds.
Another interesting display is that
Of the N. M. A. and the A. A. A..
now combined in one booth and
presided over by comely Miss who
recently won first honors in a South
Carolina beauty contest. Here
women visitors are given free tour.

dress while automobiling through
the country.
The show will continue through
out the present week, opening at
o'clock in the afternoon and clos
ing at 1890 at night.

NEW HUPMOB|LE
. SEDAN|S NOW
POPULAR

Built to meet the wide demand
for five passenger closed cars, the
new Hupp club sedan, which Ster-
rett & Fleming, Inc, has received
for display, has made a strong pub
lie appeal all over the country.
Officials Of the company claim
that as soon as the factory enters
quantity production, 1t will be one
OF the biggest sellers in the Hup-
mobile line, which for 1924 consists
Of eight models.
A novel improvement in closed
car construction has been effected
by Hupp in this latest model to
provide high quality five passen-
ger closed body at materially less
than regular sedan cost. The BODY
quality is announced by the cor.
poration as being in thorough ac.
cord with the high standards Hump
has always demanded.

HOW TO HANDLE AUTOS
HEADLIGHTS DURING FOG

When you meet with a fog
so dense that the glare of the
headlights reflects back like a
white blanket and the dimmed
lights alone are not enough to
show the grass edge of the
road, a slight improvement
can be made by throwing the
headlight bulbs slightly out of
focus. Instead of concentrat-
ing the beams to attain a
sharp penetrating light, adjust
to obtain a shallow, flarinR,
spreading beam which will
show up the side of the road
and do away with much of
the glare back from the i'm
penetrable fog bank.-Automo-
bile Digest.

RoIIin Engineering Advanced.

It Is pointed out that the new
Rollin has a very advanced engi-
nering refinement in its high
pressure, force feed lubricating sys-
tenn through drilled crankshaft-
and direct to camshaft bearings.
This is the most costly method of
motor fabrication. It is the same
system used on the very highest
priced cars.

Importance of Clean Oil.

In filling the Oil reservoir care
should be exercised so no foreign
substances get into the lubricating
syster. Tiny bits Of waste some
times work into the system and
fill some OF the smaller oil tines,
off the oil supply entirely.

 I had no difficulty in getting the number. Alfred's secretary gave an affirmative assurance to my query as to his presence in the office, and in another second I heard his voice. first in perfunctory greeting, and then in a hearty, "Madge. Well, up- on my word ,''

 SPRING MEDICINE

It is said the greatest American pastime is running to catch train; and the most futile indoor pastime is taking tonics and spring medicine for the purpose of building up the the blood.
 Just why this special campaign for dosing the system with So called blood purifier should occur in the spring, has never been clearly explained, It may be that some more iron is needed in the blood in spring, as many people are apt to use an iH-balanccd diet for a large part of the winter. The Nege- tables and fruits which are the most important sources Of iron, in our food stuffs, arc often neglected to most alarming extent, and. of course. the bodily health suffers.
 Neglect to continue the use of green vegetables and fresh, juicy fruits, with their life giving iron and salty con- pounds, causes a certain suggishncss in the blood formation. Spring medi- cine is not the remedy.
 The appetite must be wooed and won into natural and wholesome paths by proper, nonfishing food that VIII give more iron and renewed pep" than pine buds, wintergreen, and bonesct taken as blood tonic."
 There is no question whatever of the superiority of natuY,l foods over any kind of spring medicine or iron compounds, in furnishing ele- mcnts for body building and repair. The proper vitaminos will be found in fresh milk, cggs fruit and yege- tables. Don't neglect the vegetable oil on your salads. They furnish q most life giving element
 Eat green stuif to get back your normal iron supply. The amount of iron for reserve, that is found in varying amounts in the liver, spleen and bone marrow must also be rec newed and maintained for a healthy, normal body in spring time.

Dear me-" Eaggedy Ann said when she saw that the nice fat police man had broken the bottle of Magical Shrink Medicine in his pocket and il had made him shrink and shrink un- til he was a strange sight. What shall we do?' Raggcdy Andy could not say, neither could the Hoolygoo- lys, so the four friends sat down on the soft moss and tried 10 keep inc policeman from crying so much.
 "Oh. I wish that the mean old ma elcian had not sent his puppy dog home for he Shrink Medicinet" the n.ce policeman sobbed, 'for then I would not have had the bottle in my pocket aud then I would not have broken the bottle and split the Magi- cal Medicine all over mel My, l feel so shiinky! Am I shrinking any more ?''
 No" Raggedy Ann hastened to say as she wiped tahe nice police- mans eles with her apron. you haven't shrunk for two minutes Can you walk, nice policeman?"
 Although the nice policeman was quite wabbily on his legs. he could stand up and with Raggedy Ann on one side and Raggedy Andy on the other. helping him. he was able to walk along.
 ''The Wild Gazook lives nearby" Harry Hoolygooly said. Let us go there as we had intended and per- Iaus he will help us."
 'But now that the policeman is not strong. won't the Wild Gazook know this and refuse to help us?" Mrs. Hoolygooly asked.
 "Ha." Raggedy Andy said. ''1f the Wild Gazook refuses to help us. then I shall wrestle him."
 T am afraid that gou will be un- able to wrestle the Wild GazO0k." tbe policeman said. "The Wild Gazook is very wild and l don't believe eyed I could wrestIc him even if 1 WIS lat ag8ini"
 Any way. we will 20 and see the Wild Gazook." Raggedy Andy said. .I am not afraid to Wrestie him no matter how wild he fs.'

 had my answer ready to the ques- ton which Mrs. Birds driver put to me, for I had employed my time during the motor trip to New horR fn planning for every minute or the short time allotted me. Of paramount importance was the question of push ing forward the sailing date for the Harrison party. had in my purse the address Of a man whom Lillian had commissioned to make the rec essary reservations for the date which she had thought was the earliest one We could get, but urged on by Mrs Bird, and by my own dread-I meant to see if there were not better arrangements which could be made.
 To do this as well as the shopping for the children in the limited time ct my disposal. it was necessary for me to have efficient aid. Dicky and Lillian were at the farm, and it had taken me but few seconds 10 de- eide upon the person whose help I meant to enlist. Alfred Durkee was in his office, l was sure-his mothers Hines had necessitated so many hours of absence from his work that I was confident he. one of the busiest art editors in the mag agine world. would be there every hour of his working day.
 Alfred Would Help
 That he would be eager to help me in every possible way l was also sure, for he was grateful to far greater degree than l deserved for the attention I had given his mother during her hospital operation. The tragic death of Dicky's sister and 'brother-in-law had kept me from visiting my little friend after she had been brought 10 her Marion home from tho hospital. but I had kept in close touch with her by telephone and l knew that her con- salescence from the operation so skillfnlly performed by Dr. Braith- waite had been swift and satisfac- tory. l was glad however, of the prospect Of questioning Alfred con- corning his mothers condition, and l meant also, to ascertain if possible whether Leila's outlook upon life was more cheerful than it had beemwhen l last saw her.
 The drivers scat had held n note of uneasy impatience, or so fam eied. when he had asked me where next I wished to go. and wondered if there had been any incident on the journey " something which l had missed--whieh had caused that inflec- ton.

 He considered minute, frowning, then pointed to big building in the next block.

 So Raggedy Andy and Harry Hooly- EooIy ran to the Wild Gazook's house and knocked upon the door with a stone. Then the door opened and they saw Raggedy Ann sitting inside with the Wild Gazook drinking an ice rrcan soda. Come in and have au ice cream soda" the Wild Gazobk said. So Isageedy Andy called to inc policeman and Mrs. Hoolygooiy and they all went inside the Wild Ga zook's house to hate an ice rres-m soda
