CIVIC Clubs
DAY CROWDS
MOTOR SHOW
Throngs Are Delighted With
Great Beauty of Cars
on Display.
STYLES OF CAPS CHANGE
Visitors High in Praise of
Exposition; Best Ever
Held Here.

Today is Civics Clubs day at the
Auto Show at the State Playground
and not even the most auStere of
club members can fail to be i'm
pressed by the display of automo-
tive beauty that fills the great audi
forum to the number of 244 cars.
With cars in every price field
competing strongly from the stand
point of beauty as we'll as mechan-
ical excellence there has been no
noteworthy evidence OF crowds
gathering in one spot.
However. it was expected that the
visiting Lions will gather in an
excess of club loyalty about the
Franklin booth, where lion ram
pant graces every radiator cap.
There was some talk of a return
this year to the fiat radiator cap of
bygone days. In some cases this has
been true. Chevrolet has discarded
the preening peacock Of last season
for large, fat cap.
Eup Follows Suit
Hupmobile has followed suit, with
only the slight variation of a ridge
through the center. Graham-Paige
also is in the conservative class,
with graceful fin carried out in
the lights of the larger models.
While statesmen deny any symbol
ism, the cap design gives it an i'm
preston of speed.
There are many other examples
of the less ornate cap, but on the
other hand. any number of cars
feature symbolic figures and cap
designs.
The greyhound on the Lincoln
cap has a story. 1t is said to have
been discovered in Italy by Edsel
Ford and brought to this country
to be copied for the Lincoln as an
emblem of grace and feetnesS.
Nash and Hudson have flying
Greek figures poised on the caps
of all their cars. Hudson and Essex
boast that a famous European
sculptor designed the hurrying lady
for them. Nash claims that the
origin of their ATLANTA was equally
celebrated.
las Egyptian Tendencies
The goddess Of safety shows de-
cidedly Egyptian tendencies as she
thrusts her face forward and
cleaves the wind from the vantage
point Of the long StutZ hood.
SO they COUP and down the line
from today's airplane, perched at
dizzy angle atop the Elcar cap to
the motometerS still used by
Cadillac and Packard.
The interest of the public In
transportation IS well shown by the
unusually large crowds attending
the show. Notwithstanding the
WITNESSES Of the weather.
Boosts for Show
And 1t is not unusual to hear COM
ments to the effect that it compares
more than favorably with the ma
tional shows at New York and Chi
cago.
Friday night. designated by Show
Manager John Orman as society
right, will find the great showroom
more colorful by the addition of for
NAL dress on the part of the ex-
hibitors.

CHAPTER Nv

THAT afternoon a group o.
l. whites Clipped in fifty cents
apiece to give one of the Negroes {
hop, provided, as they put it, I would
do few flip fiops" with him.
The Negro decided upon was per.
fectly willing and confident up tt
the time when he was instructed tc
get in: even then he gamely climbed
into the cockpit. assuring all of his
clan that he would wave his rec
bandanna handkerchief over tbs
side of the cockpit during the entire
fight in order to show them thai
he was still unafraid.
After reaching the corner of tho
field ] instructed him, as had the
previous passengers, to hold the
throttle back while I was lifting the
tail around.
When climbed back In my cock
pit I told him to let go and opened
the throttle to take off. We hac
gone about fifty yards when it sud
denly occurred to him that the ship
was moving and that the handle hS
was to hold On to was not where il
should be. He had apparently for
gotten everything but that throttle
and with death grip he hauled il
back to the closed position.
We had not gone far enough tt
prevent stopping before reaching
the other end of the field and the
only loss was the time required tt
taxi back over the rough GROUND
to our starting point.
Before taking off the next time
however, I gave very implicit in
structions regarding that throttle.
I had promised to give this negro
a stunt ride yet I had never had
any instruction in acrobatics.
I had. however, been in a plane
with BAIL during two loops and
one tailspin. I had also beer
carefully instructed in the art OF
looping by Reese, who, forgetting
that I was not flying a Hissc
standard with twice the power OF
my Jenny, advised me that it was
not necessary to dive excessively
before a loop but rather to fly along
with the motor full on until the
plane gathered speed, then to start
the loop from level flying position
I climbed up to three thousand
feet and started in to fulfill my
agreement by doing a few air.
splasheS, steep spirals and dives.
With the first deviation from
straight flying my passenger hao
his head down on the floor of the
cockpit but continued to wave the
red handkerchief with one hand
while he was holding on to every
thing available with the other, al
though he was held securely with
the safety belt.
Finally, remembering my ground
instructions, I leveled the plane of
and with wide open motor waited
few moments to pick up maximum
speed, then slowly pulling back or
the stick began to loop.
When I had gotten one-fourth OF
the way around the ship was
trembling in nearly stalled po-
sition; still, the Curtiss motor was
doing its best and it was not until

Coach Dish" Hughes today was to
put his De Paw University grid
men through a final limbering-up

Although the Methodists are in

a swift moving, running attack
coupled with effective aerial plays
and that De Paw will be forced to
