1926 AUTO SHOW TO SET
NEW RECORD In SPLENDOR
Most Comprehensive and Vivid Display
to Tell Story of 1925 Progress
of Industry.

A motor-wise Capital city will pause
Tor an account taking of automotive
progress during the year just ended
when the curtain goes I'D on the an
nual automobile show at 40 O'Clock
next Saturday night at the Washing
ton Auditorium, to continue through
out the next week.
An exhibition which should surpass
other annual motor eXpositions is to
be offered Washington this year. 1t
Will be the result of long and continu-
Gus effort by the show committee of
the Washington Automotive Trade As
ISOLATION, comprising Rudolph Jose,
chairman: Raphael Semmes. Spencer
b. Curray, Frank G. Stewart and J.
NJ. Dugan. This committee has
planned the exhibits carefully and
with the dominant idea Of giving the
National Capital a comprehensive re-
Election of the latest developments in
motordom
Preparations for the 1925 show have
been made with the predominant idea
Of presenting d composite of automo-
tive progress. which will include the
surprises that elected the Abs" and
obs at the national show. with the
best workmanship of every other make
thrown in for good measure.
Surprises Promised.
Mechanical surprises. a riot of color.
new and unusual equipment will be
displayed to give proof TO the fact
that the automotive industry has been
far from slumbering since the 1926
show threw open its doors in blaze
Of glory.
Bright and varied hues will domi-
nate the entire setting. All the color
full splendor of the rainbow has tinged
the shades of the bodies of the 1926
cars, and their diversity of tone is to
be intensified against a polychrome
decorative scheme. Body finishes of
velvety tones and proved durability
characterize this years models, and
to this may be added q definite note
of grace of line which has brought the
latest Offering of the automobile indus
try a real step beyond it's annual pred
ecessor.
To form a pleasing background for
featured types OF every make Of car,
the show committee has chosen a
colorful scheme of adornment design
ed by CT. A. Trahan Company of Co
hoes, n. Y. 1t will be supplemented
by palms supplied by Guides Sons Com
pany. Southern smilax and palms
will form the floral setting on the
auditorium floor. In the exhibition
hall the ceiling will be hung with gar
lands Of smilax interspersed with pink
flowers. Side walls will be aped in
blue and strung with ropes Of laurel
supporting gold medallions. Columns
will be done in pink.
Forty-four dealers have agreed 10
place exhibits in the show. OF this
number, Il will display a representa-
tive array OF automotive accessories
which will indicate the extent of prog
ress toward absolute convenience for
the motorist. Stabilators, spring
lubricators. automatic radiator shut
tiers, snubbers, purolatorS and many
other car appurtenanceS will be
shown. A body paint display will
parallel the rich and multihued tones
of the automobile exhibits.

SIDE DOORS FOR TRUCKS
URGED TO AID TRAFFIC
Parallel Parking Would Relieve
Congestion by Saving Space,
Observers Saw.

traffic observers by which they be-
lieve trucks could contribute in no
small measure to relieving traffic con
gestion. One is that they be SO con
structed that loading and unloading
from the side will be possible. A
truck parked parallel. it is pointed out,
requires much less street space than
one backed against the curb.
The other is that large commercial
concerns using trucks for deliveries
consolidate them, so that the pur-
chaser OF three small articles will have
but one instead Of three vehicles make
trips to his home.

Giving the running boards an ap-
pearance of new is merely A matter
OF cleaning them with a clean rag
satura ted with gasoline. Kerosene is
the best substitute.

RIGHT OF WAY IN STREET
Baltimore Motorist in Turning Into
Police-Regulated Thoroughfare
Is Under Orders.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The star
BALTIMORE, January 25.-In max
ing right or left hand turns into
streets where traffic is regulated by
policeman. motorists must give Pc
destrians the right of way at all times,
according to Inspector of Police
George l.. Lurz.
Many motorists. in their lnterpreta-
ion of that section of the automobile
laws which deals with pedestrians,
are of the impression that the pedes-
TRANS had the right of way at cross
ings, except where traffic is controlled
by officers, the inspector said.
First of all, in making a turn,
drivers should have their machines
under such control that they can stop
in an instant" said Inspector Lurz.
The motoriSt who makes left or
right turn must keep a sharp look
out for pedestrians and, if necessary,
stop"
The penalty for failing to give pc
destrians the right of way ranges from
A fine of SIS to $50.

MADE CLEAR TO DRIVER,
Hints on Starting Engine in Cole
Weather Explained.

Many hints are offered to motorists
in the matter of starting the engine
in cold weather. but II might mean
more TO the driver to know the reason
behind each suggestion.
He is told. for instance, that If the
engine does not start right away he
should take his foot off the starter
button an instant and try again. But
whyo The answer is that a better
start can always be had If the engine
IS given quick spin. as this increases
he compression. The heavy wire
from battery to starter offers the max
mum discharge, and thus when the
atarter is used internationally it more
nearly approximates hand cranklnS.

tary Of the organization.
Mr.. Lucius said that, while the Au-
tomobile Club is conducted for the
benefit Of the motorists, it has no
sympathy with the driver who is so
devoid Of human qualities as to leave
a person injured or dying on the road
way.
Counsel for the organization will

MAKE HILLS IN SECOND
Car Then Burns Off Less OIL and
Fan Works Faster.

If your engine is in good running
order it will operate at a lower tenn
perature and burn off less oil climbing
steep hills in second gear than in
high" Low car speed in high gear
means a wide-open throttle and
terrific combustion. Low car speed
in second gear requires less gas per
power stroke of any piston and af-
fords better circulation of water and
oil. Also the fan runs at higher
speed and there is less friction
through strain.
The reason most motorists think
of second" as a heating-up process
is because they never resort to it un-
til the engine is already overheating
from failure to make" a hill in
high"

BEWARE OF CAR TRACKS.
They Not Only Damage Tires. But
Also Invite Skidding.

Keeping out Of street car tracks is
a reminder mentioned frequently in
connection with care of tires. but 1t
applies to the safety of the driver as
we'll The habit of driving i'll car
tracks leads logically to driving In
switches Here tires are not only
damaged. but the front or rear wheels
are quite likely to Jump the switch
something approXilnating skid is
The result, including all of its hazards.
When the tracks are wet the driver
may find himself powerless TO steer
out of them at a switch.

CRANK CASE DILUTION
TOO OFTEN BLAMED
Diluent of Water and Gas Not
Always Responsible for
Scored Cylinders.

Crank case dilution has been given
too great a share of the blame for
scored cylinders and burned-out bear
ings, a recent series of scientific tests
indicates. These experiments are de-
scribed by Albert lie Roy. assistant
professor OF mechanical engineering
at the University of Utah, in the Jour
nal of the Society of Automotive En-
gineers.
In general the results Of these tests
indicate that dilution of the oil up to
so per cent had no bad effects on the
engine SO far as increased friction
and temperature of the bearings were
concerned, although such dilution may
be injurious in other ways, as in loss
of power due to leakage Of gas past
the pistons. Many motor vehicles are
in operation with a 25 to so per cent
diluent of gasoline and water in the
crank case.

Now it's the United States mail

and the folk who dash around with

Rich mems sons and daughters, long
hold up a public examples of Willful
disregard for law. are to enjoy much
needed respite from the limelight of
public attention. The reckleSsneSS of
- moneyed youth in his flashy, high
speed roadster Is now viewed as an old
story. The modern chapter in safety
has a few words to say about the
persons who hide their reckleSsness
behind brass buttons and high-sound
ing titles.
Complaints are made by motorists in
many sections that State police. whose
duty il is TO set a good example for the
motoring public as we'll as to enforce
the law, are speeding up and down the
highways and showing little regard
Tor the traffic statutes. These officers
show by their actions that they believe
they are above the legislation which
they are sworn to uphold. forgetting
that all men are equal before the law
of the land and that the authority with
which they are clothed is in itself no
license for doing what would be Illegal
for any other person to do.
Discrimination Is Scored
Such a situation tends to create a
feeling that discrimination exists in
the enforcement of the law. and that
always Is undesirable. II not only
gives rise to resentment toward officers,
but is likely TO foster disrespect for
the law and the person authorized to
enforce it.
In an Eastern city a certain traffic
officer will arrest on the spot any
driver who dares to pass another
vehicle on the right. Drivers who
wish 10 overtake the car ahead. where
it would not be violating speed laws
to do SO. are supposed to sound their
horns and await for the man ahead
20 pull over to the right hand side
Of the street. The law is SO rigidly
enforced that drivers are continually
instructed to keep over to the right
when they are not in the act of over
taking another car. Arrest is the
punishment for failing to obey the
officers command in this respect.
The other day the same officer was
driving his motor cycle in the center
of the street while business man who
desired to get ahead politely sounded
his horn. He would have been arrested
sor passing on the right. Yet the

Civil Liberties Union
Director to Europe to

NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.-Roger NJ
Baldwin, director of American Civil
Liberties Union, under $4,000 bail
for unlawful assembly" as a result
Of free speech meeting" during the
silk workers strike in Paterson, N. j.,
has sailed for Europe and Asia to
make Investigations and contacts for
the Civil Liberties Union, the tInter-

soners and the Quakers. His depart
ure has been approved by J. Vincent
Barnitt, prosecutor of the pleas of
New Jersey, and his case postponed
until May at the request of Samuel
Untermyer, his counsel.
Mr.. Baldwin will study the persecu-
ton of minorities turnout Europe and

The Passing Of the "Our Homes Are Our
Castles" Period in Great Britain

/ forces which are at work in Britain
today could already be seen in mo-
ton. Their development has precipi-
tated the open class struggle whose
rumblings we hear across three thou.
sand miles of ocean.
And it is still a longer road that the
British masses have travelled since
they joined with their rulers in scorn-
ing the efforts of the early Utopians.
ENOR today the British masses, from
the standpoint of the ruling class,
follow strange gods. Gone are the
Utopian conceptions of early social
ism with its appeals to the under
standing and mercy of entrenched
robbers. Today the British working
class has burst the bonds of tradition
and looks, not to Fabians, liberals and
Utopians, but to the Communist In
ternational, the legitimate descendant
of the revolutions of the eighteenth
and nineteenth centuries, the bearer
Of the traditions of the victorious Rus
sian revolution of the twentieth cen
fury, for its leadership.
THE trade unions of the Soviet
4 Union enabled the British miners
TO stem the tide of reaction by their
strike donations. This alone is proof
that in Britain the idea of working
class solidarity has replaced the old
idea of loyalty to the British empire.
The breakdown of British capitalist
democracy, exemplifed in the inva-
sion of homes of workers in order
that the capitalists may herd their
scabs undisturbed, is Of great signif-
canoe in that it TALES with other evi.
dences of widespread decay of British
capitalist industry and trade.
The stage has been set for the
struggle for power in Britain by the
workers. The general strike, and the
miners strike, were rehearsals or per.
haps the first act in the glorious
drama OF the social revolution in Brit
ain, where methods Of distribution
have come into irreconcilable conflict
with methods of production.

FORCE COOLIDGE
TO AGREE WITH
NAVY BOOSTERS
Backs Down from Stand
Against Expenditures

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-President
Coolidge and the house naval affairs
committee agreed to sos, 900
naval building program to increase
the size of the American navy, it was
announced by Representative Butler,
chairman.
The program calls for the authoriza-
ton Of the building of 10 cruisers to
cost 10,500,000 each, with the provi-
sion that the program may be sus-
pended whenever the president de-
crees it is for the best interest of the
country.
Ends Fight.
The agreement, which Butler said
would end the campaign against the
budget program for the navy, was
reached at a conference at the White
House. Butler introduced the authori-
zation bill in the house. The navy
departments budget is expected to be
altered to accord with the terms Of
the agreement.
Maintain Conference Esprit"
Butler said the cruisers would be
built in an entire accord with the
spirit" of the Washington arms con-
ference and is contemplated to give
the United States 25 cruisers, totaling
225,000 tons, by the end of 1881.
Japan, he said, has 20 cruisers, total
ing 10000 tons. Great Britain, he
explained, would still surpass the
American navy in cruiser power.
tr Tx r Cal Backs Down.
In his budget message, the presi-
dent urged congress not to authorize
construction of the remaining three of
the eight cruisers provided for in 1924.
This kicked up a row that resulted in
President Coolidge backing down from
his original stand.

IN SOUTH
HAS TAKEN BIG
TOLL OF. VICTIMS
Nearly 5000 Driven Out
of Homes

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. 2S.-With
1S dead, hundreds homeless and pro-
perry damage estimated at S1,OO0O0
flood waters in Tennessee, Arkansas,
and Mississippi were expected to
reach their crest today.
No immediate relief was promised
nearly 5000 flood victims, who were
forced to leave their homes in the
lowlands, and it may be days before
they can go back to them.
Waters Reach Crest.
Out Of their banks for nearly a
week as the result of heavy rains, the
Cumberland, Tennessee and Tombig-
bee Rivers will reach their crest to-
night and then slowly recede, the
weather bureau predicted.
The known death toll divided by
states is Arkansas, g.; Mississippi, 5;
Tennessee, 2.
In addition to deaths, destruction
of property and hardhips; many towns
in Tennessee and Mississippi were
without train service as the result of
high waters. The Louisville & Nash
vile and Illinois Central service was
badly crippled in Tennessee and Mis-
sissippi.
Business Houses Close.
Some commercial establishments in
Nashville and other Tennessee towns
were forced to suspend business,
while the damage to crops, highways,
livestock, railroad property, and
homes has been heavy.
Schoolhouses were used in Chatta-
nooga to house the flood refugees,
while warehouses and public build
ings afforded a temporary shelter for
the homeless in Nashville.
Relief work was well organized, it
was said, and there was no apparent
suffering.
