BH WILLIAM IBLMAN.

NEW YORK CITY, January 3
Memories of the early days OF auto
mobiling blended freely with gossip
of 1925 trends in motoring shortly
after the doors OF the huge Bronx
Arpory were thrown open here to-
night to admit the general public for
a first view of the automobile in
dustry's silver jubilee show. Old
timers told fantastic tales of carly
motoring to younger generation
that saw the new creat!ons-only the
start of d greater motoring 20 come.
Statesmen greeted OLD friends with
new faith in the automobile. 1925
looked back reverently upon 1900,
but Eloatcd in her supremacy for all
o that.
II was a great night. Everybody
said so. The arnory itself was
draped in endless yards of silks in
Nile green, orange and royal purple
HUGS. 1t was like a Roman feast with
a dash of Orientalism thrown in for
good measure. And in the center ot
It all rose the gigantic silver tower TO
remind the visitor that just 25 years
ago the whole business was but a
wild dream.
Exhibition Most Brilliant.
1t is the most brilliant OF any in
dustrial exhibition held in old
Gotham in many years, because,
stripped of the elaborate decora tions
devised by Manager s. a. Miles in
honor of the silver jubilee. the 500 or
so motor car. creations displayed on
the Aoor itself represent the finest
examples of coachRork and cgncerine
ever before set UP for Americas in
spcction.
Much significance is attached to

bodies the feature Of the Tower OF
Pharos at Alexandria. which, in the
third century, L. C., ranked as one
of the seven wonders OF the ancient
world. Some of the many thousands
of spectators and motor car enthusi
asts who crowded the spa cious
armory took it as symbol Of irons,
TO point out the folly of limiting
world wonders to seven when the au-
tomobile comes into the picture
Others appeared satisfied TO view it
as a symbolic commemorstion of au-
tomotire achievements during the
first % years of the ipdustry's eX-
iSteRce.
To the automobile trade and the press
the silver jubilee show opened yester-
day. Trade days, new feature. proved
OF great value to dealers and those di-
rectly interested in the design, produc-
ton and sale of automobiles and equip
ment. 1t gave them an opportunity to
study the general picture en- masse as
well as in detail

Striking color effects in hodywork

With the coming of dull finishes on
motor cars has come the possibility of

Both Jewett and Paige motors are
built with silent chain drive for
pump and timing shafts. Note the
automatic take-up sprocket. By a
spring and cam arrangement this
sprocket keeps a constant tension
on the chain, completely offsetting
the effects of wear (streteh), pre-
venting back-lash, retaining tim
ing accuracy. Silence is permanent.

predecessors in beauty and distinction.
Close inspection confirms this impress
sion. The appearance of moldins
that car designers have run from radia-
tor TO rear gives to a number of new
models a certain snlartness that is en-
tirely new 10 the automobile, particu-
larly where body colors are different
above and below the molding.
One of the most interesting trends
seen this year is what many in the auto
motive trade recognize as the ultimate
in the idea OF q "car for every purse"
Instead OF the cheaper cars looking
cheap and the more costly cars looking
like products of another world, differ
ences between cars are, in many in
stances, mainly those of size and weight,
Tho $1,000 car may look just like the
S3. 900 version. except that il is smaller
and lighter. This does not apply to all
makes of ears by any means. but it Is
a trend that is at once observed.
Coach Popularity Evident.
The immense popularity OF the coach
type of closed body is thought to have
influenced this "pick your size" move
ment. There are coaches from $6S5 up
to s3.195. Most of them sell at the same
price as their respective touring cars.
in some instances al less. The chief
improvement in coaches is the extra
width of the doors, the addition of
balloon tires, more generous equipment
and brighter body finishes.
In competition with the coaches are
the low w-priced fun 5-passengcr, 4door
sedanS on popular chassis. There Is
going to be a race between coaches and
the sedans this year, and with the
public welded to the coach as offered
by several of the leading manufac-
turers il is feared that some of the
coach models may get caught i'll the
jam.
Even the position OF the sedans is
not any too certain. The trade has
reached conclusions regarding the
popular body types for the year. but
the public did not have time tonight
to make up it's mind definitely, and
probably won't for some months to
come. The convertible car that can
serve either as open job or closed is
among those present, and il received
lot of attention.
Power and Beauty Increase.
DESPITE the large number of dis
plays that reveal determination to
balance quality very gingerly with
low first cost, the Armory is Gener-
ously supplied with models that are
better made, Better appointed and
more attractive than ever before

a lot of manufacturers arg display
ing more powerful, larger and more
costly versions Of their popular lines.
The coming of the ciGht-in-line
power plant has much to do with the
trend toward greater luxury. 1t was
evident from the many questions
asked by dealers Yesterday that the
reason for the new type of eight
cylinder power plant is not as yet
generally known. The public. while
keenly interested tonight, was even
more puzzled.

Plans for the expansion Of air
transportation, at first sight, seem
exempt from the chief cost of land
transportation.
On land, the heaviest cost is for
rls ht- way, road bed and termn-
ais
Railroads provide. these things
themselves: automobiles have them
provided by the public.
Either way, we pay for them, in
rates or taxes.
The air, by contrast, is free.
But as soon as you begin navi-
eating the air systematically. you
find that much of the cost is on the
ground.
Landing fields need to be larger
than railroad terminals, with crew
in each, and night flight, without
which the saving in useful time is
more than cut in two, requires
elaborate lighting signals all along
the way.
In effect, transcontinental air
line requires very expensive land
road bed and upkeep.
Since air transportation, for some
time. will have to be subsidized, and
since American politics requires that
subsidies be called by some other
name, the high land costs Of flying
may furnish the opportunity to do
both.
Our habit Of thinking with our
memories will also help. We remem-
Der that the government has always
maintained navigablc streams and
harbors and supported lighthouses,
for water craft. and it will therefore
memory, to grasp the idea of doing
the same thing for aircraft.
Only call the landing fields char
bors" and the signal stations eight
houses" and the whole thing comes
within our familiar categories.
There may be no objection to the
necessary subsidies, if we will call
them by these names.

Good water is essential to life.
Water comprises about 20 per cent
Of the body weight and is neces-
sary to provide elasticity and sup
pleness to muscles, bones, carti-
lage and tendons, to moisten vari-
Gus part of the body so that they
may perform their functions, and
to act as solvent for food so that
it may be absorbed.
Water also privides fluid med
ium for the blood and lymph by
which nutritive substances are
taken to all parts Of the body and
waste products are removed.
Rain water that has not run down
n roof is pure water. but it is in
sipd and distasteful because it
does not contain certain mineral
salts and other properties that
make for good drinking water. On
the other hand, water that contains
too much mineral salts may be
otherwise pure and still be quite
unfit for drinking.
Water dissolves substances, both
gases and solids, and absorbs doors.
Because Of these properties and
because water is usually taken into
the body raw, it is one of the most
potent carriers of harmful bacteria.

forms of animal and vegetable life

Hard water is freed from most
