COLOR AND Line
TO ADD VARIETY
TO 1929 SHOWS
Auto Exhibits Will Present
Radical Innovations
Over Past.

Radical departure from what has
been seen in the past will feature
the national automobile shows this
season. A number of elements will
combine to make the big displays
in Grand Central Palace, New York,
the week of Jan. S to IL, and in
the Chicago Coliseum, Jan. 26 to
Feb. 2, new and different from pred
ecessors-things which tend to
prevent a great industry from be-
coming static after twenty eight
years.
One Of these elements is the
modern use of color, which is be-
coming 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.
SilhouetteS New
Another element is the change in
silhouette, both front and side view,
of the new models, which, in gen.
eral, is refreshing to the eye. The
application of dynamic symmetry
to low-hung car bodies and GLASSES
and the tendency to make the
lines rhythmic and simple, will be
quite apparent on many show
models.
AS for the setting of the show it
self, the exhibition arrangement and
the decorations will be 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, ascend
ing from the main floor to mezza-
nine, will be the feature about
which the decorative scheme will be
built.
Foreign Makers Invited
Another novel show feature is the
international aspect, foreign max
ers being invited to exhibit this
year for the first time. British,
German and French cars will be
shown. On Monday, Jan. Z, auto
mobile men from many lands will
take part in the International day
activities. President Avian Macau-
lay and the board of directors of
the National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce have invited more
than 1000 automobile dealers in LOT
countries.
At the New York show in Grand
Central Palace there will be shown
more than two hundred passenger
cars, forty-four of them being
American maks and five being for
eign products.
There will be several hundred ex-
hibits of parts and accessories. The
shop equipment section again will
be featured, with sixty or more ex-
hibitors. In this there will be nu-
merous interesting new devices.

DR. JOHN j. TIGERT, former
H. United States commissioner of
education, tells the American Auto
mobile Association that education
should be the first means of assur-
ing national safety.
BY this DR.. Tigert means ed
ucation of children even more than
education of their parents, explain
ing how this effort has been begun
in the public schools of the nation.
Modern methods of education,
however, require the cooperation of
parents if everything possible is to
be gained for the good of the child.
If the parents are Indifferent, if they
neglect their children, the teacher
in school has almost a useless task
before her.
Even more so is this cooperation
required when it comes to safety
education, for here the parent most
likely is driving through the streets
in high-powered automobile, toot-
ing his horn for children to get out
of the way and almost running
down in his hurry to get some
where.
Were this parent to think of the
children, were he to consider their
keen desire for play and their de-
mand for the open spaces of the
street, he would be more considerate.
Too many of us fail to consider
this matter from the children's
viewpoint. Too many of us, in other
words, need education first before we
can expect our children to be ed
ucated.
There are many reasons why an
exhaust should get excessively hot,
but only one explanation for a hot
exhaust without an overheated
engine.
This is known as the choking of
the muff1er.
In other words, the muf1er is
clogged or damaged in such a way
that the hot exhaust gases do not
exit quickly enough. There is a
backing up action that overheats

This new speed creation the first product of the
Clemens Motors Company, Inc, is proving a sem
sation among racing fans The motor is designed
wholly for dirt track racing, being light, powerful,
and economical to operate.
Heretofore dirt track race cars have used
"pepped-up" stock motors. However as dirt track
racing has become more popular each year, a de-
mand has been created for race cars built espe-
cialy for that purpose.
Therefore, the Clemens Motors Company pro-

BLACK JACK
Is 68 TODAY
To Be Honored With A
New Decorations.
From Nations

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-tP1-
General John J. Pershing today cele-
brated the sixty-eighth milestone Of
a life rich In adventure and accom-
.plishment, crowned BY leadership Of
the battalions that fought in Amer
ica's greatest war.
Now fully retired after a long and
fruitful service in the army, the
man who, with Washington and a
few others, rose to the high distinc-
ton Of a full-ranked general, found
on this birthday echoes Of the &C
claim which a grateful world be-
slows upon those IL revcras.
At the war department where Gen.
eral Pershing has a handsome office,
although he is no longer actively
connected with that branch of the
government, time was set aside to-
day so the general might receive the
four latest foreign decorations which
admiring nations have conferred
upon him.
Congress. which must consent be-
fore Americans may receive such
decorations, acted favorably last
winter, but Secretary Davis OF the
war department postponed the pres
entation so it might take place to-
day.
The decorations were those con-
fcrrcd upon the general by the pres
idcnt az Czecho-Sloyakia In 1926 and
by the president Of Peru, the presi-
dent Of Poland and the president OF
Venezuela in 1925.
Nearby, in fact in the same build
ing which was the setting for fur
Their honoring this American war
rior. another department Of the gov
eminent was pursuing efforts by
which the world might be brought
into universal peace and in this e.
fort, General Pershing lent a. full
support as he did to bringing victory
at arms just ten years ago.
For him to indorse the Kellogg
BRAND peace treaty seemed 10 roll
