CHANGES SLATED
FOR AUTO SHOWS
Departure From Previous
Practices Will Include
Use of Color.

Radical departure from what has
been seen in the past will feature the
national automobile shows this season.
A number of elements combine, fortu-
nately, this year to make the big dis
plays in Grand Central Palace, New
York, the week of January to IL, and
in the Chicago Coliseum, January &c to
February 2, new and different from
predecessors - things which tend to
prevent a great industry from becoming
static after % years. One of these ele-
ments is the modern use of color,
which is becoming more expressive in
industry every day. Numerous new
color combinations and departures in
handling the color masses of bodies,
with certain moderniStic touches, will
be noted. Another element is the
change in silhouette. both front and
| side view, of the new models, which. in
general, is refreshing to the eye. The
application of dynamic symmetry to
low-hung car bodies and GLASSES -
| most appropriate for such dynamic
things as motor cars - and the tend
ency to make the lines rhythmic and
simple, will be quite apparent on
| many show models
| AS for the setting of the show itself,
| the exhibition arrangement and the
| decorations will be quite different from
what has gone before Details of this
will be announced shortly. A grand
| staircase to be constructed in the center
of the show, ascending from the main
| floor to mezzanine, will be the feature
about which the decorative scheme will
| be built.
Another novel show feature Is the
| international aspect, foreign makers
being invited to exhibit this year for
the first time. British, German and
French cars will be shown On Mon
day, January Z, automobile men from
many lands will take part in the inter-
national day activities. President Alvan
Macaulay and the board of directors
of the National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce have invited more than
1000 automobile dealers in lot coun-
| tries.
At the New York show in Grand
Central Palace there will be shown
more than 200 passenger cars, this
number including Al of American make
and foreign.
There will be several hundred ex-
hibitS Of parts and accessories. The
shop equipment section again will be
featured. with so or more exhibitors.
In this there will be numerous interest
ing new devices.

DRIVERS LICENSE
LAWS ARE URGED
Head of American Motorists
Association Declares They
Are Essential.

With both stupid and reckless driving
taking an increasingly heavy toll in
human lives and property damage, and
with public opinion throughout the Ma
ton insistent upon the elimination of
the careless few. demand is growing for
the enactment of full and effective
drivers license laws as the most force
full means of bringing order out of
chaos
First among the national motoring
organizations to step forth and call
for the universal application of this
remedy is the American Motorists Asso-
cation with statement which quotes
its general manager, Thomas j. Keefe,
as saying that mo sound progress can
be made toward traffic safety and
toward the Scourging from our public
highways of the criminally minded mo-
florists who are making them paths of
death and disorder until every COM
munity has upon its statute books

Such law is an absolute essential,
Mr.. Keefe declares in the American
Motorists Associations statement be-
cause, ne points out, it gives to the
central authority definite and posi-
tive check upon every motorist in the
country.
Examinations Mandatory.
can adequate drivers license law, the
kind that should be in force in every
town and city in the country, first of
all makes 1t obligatory for prospective
motorists to take an examination upon
the regulations and upon automobile
operation" Mr.. Keefe asserts.
That means that no person would
be permitted to take car out upon
the streets and highways unless he or
she mad a working knowledge of the
regulations which have been set up for
the safe and expeditions movement of
traffic and also could demonstrate to a
duly constituted authority that he or
she was fully capable of handling
motor vehicle with all the safe eff
cheney demanded in this day of heavy
and complicated traffic.
Now these tests need not be diff
cult Any able-bodied person, sound in
mind and physically qualified, can pass
them without trouble. In the States
where such law has been promulgated,
it has not in any way discouraged the
use of the automobile. On the con-
trary, use has been fostered, because
these States and communities have
been able to rid themselves of potential
trouble-makers and quickly descend
upon chronic violatorS not only OF the
traffic or criminal codes but of the laws
of common decency and fair play"

drivers license laws as matter of par
amount Importance, and cannot urge
with too much emphasis the need for
the complete cooperation of all inter-
ested persons and organizations to the
end that they be placed upon the statute
books.
"In many communities, especially
during the last year. there has developed
an active demand for a drivers license
law, based upon growing recklessness
within their own limits and betterment
in places which have succeeded in pass
ing effective licensing regulations. With
this demand the American Motorists
Association Is in the firmest accord and

the cause of traffic safety in those
places where 1t is in vigorous operation
is emphasized by Mr.. Keefe, who says
that Statements by traffic authorities
and motorists themselves in every center
where such a law Is in force reveal 1t
to be an indispensable part of the safety
movement.
ITO list the names of the leaders of
traffic thought who favor the drivers

most important men in the field and

every possible way is pledged to the
end.

Growing wantonness, growing reck-
lessness, growing disrespect for law and
the rights of others all demand action
and vigorous action" says MIR. Keefe, in
concluding his statement in behalf of
the American Motorists Association.
These destructive forces cannot be
fought with any but the most efficient
and the most forceful measures. A
drivers license law gives protection to
