NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Speed witt

This was the automobile industry,
gift to motordom ON the opening d
the twenty sixth annual national auto
mobile show in Grand Central Palace
here this afternoon.
Seventy, eighty and ninety-mile III
hour cars, equipped with hitherto un
examplod braking and safety devices
were the features of the industry s
most sensational automobile show,
which was greeted by a capacity ut
tendance, with wide-open, expectani
eyes.
International prominence of the
show and evidence of the worldwide
interest in motor cars. was manifest
this evening in the presence of 800
motor leaders, representing nearly
every foreign country on the globe.
The visitors are here as guests of
the National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce, attending the World Motor
Transport Congress, which opens Mon
day.
SPEED WITH SAFETY.

Riding qualities have been brought TO

ROAD SUIT
John c. Thompson, Of MY,
and W. P. Dumas Will
II Assist Attorney.

AUSTIN, Jan. 9.-In the prenara
ton of motion for rehoHring before
the United States Supreme Court OF
the Archer County road bond CO sc,
Attorney General Dan Moody an
nounced Saturday that he will have
the collaboration Of John c. Thomn-
son, Of New York. and W. p. Dumas,
leading bond lawyers. who have ap-
proved millions of dollars Of Texas
road bonds. The state has 20 days IN
which TO prepare and file the motion.
Dumas is n former assistant attor-
ney general, and well qualified to give
valuable assistance 10 the attorney
general. In the opinion of Mr.. Dumas
there is no cause for any undue alarm
over the opinion of the Supreme Court.
as the case is not by any means finally
disposed of.
SCHOOLS INVOLVED.
he also pointed out that the state
school fund owns about 100000 of
these bonds which adds assurance that
the bonds will be ultimately validated
in the event the courts decision be-
comes final. The question of holding
a special session Of the Legislature at
this time is premature. in the opinion
of Mr.. Dumas, and should it become
necessary TO amend the constitution
to bring about valuation. this could
be accomplished only at a regular ses-
sion.
AFFECTS S7,O00,000.
General Moody will also be assisted
in drafting the motion for rehearing by
Assistant Attorneys General George
Christian and c. A. Wheeler. the lat
ter having charge of the approval of
bonds in the attorney generals depart
ment. General Moody is expected to
90 to Washington to present oral argu-
ment when the motion is presented for
rehearing.
1t has now been determined that the
amount of road bonds involved in the
decision Of the Supreme Court will not
exceed 500, 100000. A certified copy
of the opinion was received Saturday.

cation.
The new ChryslCr is equipped with
many time and effort saving devices
to make Chrysler driving even more of
luxury. Prices were not available
early Saturday evening.
The new Stutz eigbt-in-line vies with
tie Chrysler for ATTENTION. All models
are fitted with keen looking Brewster
bodies and all sell at the same price,
S2995. The ear is very low hung. It's
overall height from roof to road is
20 inches. Bodies are five inches near
or the ground than those of convention
al design.
CLOSE TO ROAD.
The most unusual feature about the
car and a greater safety factor is the
fact that the rear tread is two inches
greater than the front tread, enabling
designers to set the body down lower
and reducing the possibilities Of upset
ting to a minimum.
The Slut is powered with a verti-
cal eight motor with a piston dis
placement of PSI cubic inches; COM
preston ratio of As to 1 and engine
output of 90 horsepower at 5000 X. p.
VI. All models are equipped with nom
leaking hydrostatic four.wheel brakes,
inherently equalized and with nothing
on them to adjust. The motor has
nine bearings and the overhead cam
shaft is driven by silent chains. The
factor Of safety has been held upper
most in the design of the car.
The fastest car in tie show is spon-
sored by Rickenbacker in the new
super sport roadster. 1t
is without question the most novel
appearing car at the show and is per-
fectly stream lined. The body is set
on the regular Rickenbacker eight-in-
line chassis; has a 100 horsepower
motor, guaranteed to deliver 90 miles
an hour. Rickenbacker declared Sat.
urday that he has driven it 81 miles
an hour. Ii is probably the fastest
stock car in the Y orld.
NEW WILLYS.KNIGHT.
Two carburetors and nine main
bearings are used. Shatter-proof glass
is standard throughout. The ear seats
four and is so low that person of
average height may look over it. In
it is racy in extreme. The
price is $4,000. Deliveries are prom
ised for early in the spring.
Willys-Overlald is showing n new
lighter Willys-Knight six. in addition |
to the present six. which is now
known as the 40" model and is |
available in two body styles, touring
and sedan. !
