Construction is well under way of
the magnificent silver tower that will
be the dominant feature OF the ma
tional automobile show to be held in
the 25Sth Regiment Armory, the
Bronx. from January to 10. Around
this central decorative feature, the
largest and most spectacular ever de-
vised for an industrial display in the
world, will be built a setting for the
1925 models that will eclipse any
thing of the Kind ever before at
tempted.
This will be the silver jubilee ex-
hibition, the twenty-fifth to be held
since the industry made it's bow to the
public quarter OF a century ago.
In every respect the anniversary will
be emphasized by the use of silver.
The silver tower will rise to a
height of IS feet above the main floor
OF the enormous drill hall, In which
the auto show will be held. No other
building in the world could accom-
modate 1t, nor could any other furnish
the area to make 1t appear in keeping
with the rest of the decorative lay
out. The tower was designed by
Samuel Asch, the exposition architect,
after a study of all the famous COM
memorative structures of the world.
In the main 1t embraces the features
g.,
Egypt, which ranks as one of the
seven wonders of the world. 1t was
built in the third century b. c., from
the design of Sostratus, to glorify
the reign of King Ptolemy.
Lighting Effects.
The dome of the tower will be COW
cred with real leaf silver The scin-
tillant aspect of the structure will be
heightened by concealing within 1t
$50 floods OF lights IN various hues,
which will play on the exhibition at
all times. The lighting effects will
range from a faint glow. comparable
with the rusk of evening. to the bril-
lance OF the MONDAY sun. Nine dis
tinct changes will be required to
achieve this effect.
The automobile industry stands to-
day a giant among its felIows-close
to leadership among all the great in
dustries OF the world. Twenty-Five
years ago it was the dream of a hand
full OF enthusiasts, who looked upon
the attempt to commercialize the
horseless carriage as a wonderful ad-
venture. whether 1t succeeded or not.
Fourteen millions of automobiles in
this country alone testify to the mar
velous growth that has occurred since
the beginning of the century.
Each succeeding automobile show
since 1900 has been an expression of
the progress made by the industry. In
the Forthcoming exhibition the desire
will be to express the triumph of the
industry in a manner that will indel-
IDLY impress the public. 1t is a real
task. since It will be necessary to
eclipse the spectacular effort that was
made a year ago. when the motor car
public was first invited to inspect the
new models at location removed
from the familiar regions previously
used in downtown New York

WINTER NOV BOOSTS AUTO SALES.
WASHINGTON DEALERS REPORT
Cars Haze Become Necessity for Stormy Weather and
Best Sales Days Often Are Those Of
Worst Storms.

Bad weather Is no longer a handi-
cap to the automobile business. but
rather is the strongest stimulus to
sales. according to a bulletin just
issued by the Washington Automo-
tive Trade Association.
The transition is due entirely to the
conversion of the modern automobile
from vehicle of purely pleasure pur-
poses to the most useful and neces-
sary element in personal transporta-
ton, the. bulletin explains.
In the opinion OF the auto associa-
ton, based upon the observations Of
its sales committee, some OF the
heaviest sales days. locally as well as
nationally. are those on which the
weather is the worst. The reason
given is that, having been improved
to a point where 1t is a necessity,

MUFFLERS NEED CARE,
Back Pressure of Little Conse-

Few motorists really understand
how the muff1er works. They appre-
ctate it's function, but invariably
picture it as a device to offer back
pressure on the exhaust gases
thereby deadening the sound of the
sharp exhaust. This, however, is just
the reverse of the situation. The
purpose of the muller Is to furnish a
means of quick expansion for the
exhaust gases. thereby deadening
the noise.
Thus the muffier is constructed of
pipe much larger than the ex-
haust pipe, with battle plates to
break up the force of the expanding
gases. Unless the holes in these
plates are checked with carbon the
muffier eXerts very little back pres
sure and the motor gains but very
slightly through the use of cut
out, except for testing purposes.

Declare Highway
And Railroads as
Parallels Wrong

The modern highways should
have been built at right angles to
existing railroad lines of trans
portation, according to new
viewpoint In transportation. 1t is
feared that the close parallel Of
highway and railroad hampers
both and is handicap to the
small towns that are off the beat
en- track. Apparently some people
believe the automobile ought to
meet the railroad half way, in
stead of racing with it.
