approach them, do not fall under
the regulation. They are not
lights they are ref1ectorS.
So, while hucksterS and venderS
both at times cause traffic to be
congeSted, and lights and reflec-
tors both help distract the motor
iSt at night, they are all different
and must be so treated. A funny
world!
N. Y. Auto Show.
News from the coming automo-
bile show in New York is interest
ing. The following has just been
received:
An impressive display of
foreign-made cars will be one of
the new features of the twenty
ninth national automobile show,
to be held in Grand Central
Palace, New York City, January
5 to IL, under the auspices of the
National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce.
Thus far, British, French and
German cars have been assigned
spaces for the New York display,
and these, together with 200 or
more models of American cars,
will make an international ex-
hibit of unusual interest. The
foreign cars will be grouped on
the third floor of the palace,
where a number of American
cars will be shown also.
Assignment of car spaces to
American manufacturers was
made several weeks ago and yes
terday show headquarters re-
leased the names of foreign firms.
These are, Vauxhall Motors, Ltd;
Luton Beds, England, VauXhall;
the Daimler Co, Ltd; Sandy
Lane, Coventry, England, Daim-
Ter; Austin Motor Co., Ltd, Long
bridge, England, Austin; Renault
Selling Branch, Inc, 719 Fifth
avenue, New York, Renault;
MercedeS-Benz Co., Inc, 246 Park
avenue, New York, Mercedes
Benz.
Each year the display of auto
motive service equipment at the
shows grows in Importance and
size. Next Winters shows will see
the most representative exhibit Of
automotive service equipment ever
assembled. Forty-five manufac-
turerS of shop equipment, ranging
from the smallest hand tools to
giant hoistS, have been assigned
space in the two shows by the
Motor and Accessory Manufactur-
erS' Association, which originated
the shop equipment sections three
years ago, and which co-operatcS
with the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce in the con-
duct of the national exhibitions.
At the New York show parts and
accessory spaces will be on the
third and fourth floors and shop
equipment at the west end of the
fourth floor.
Radical Changes.
Several radical changes are be-
ing made in the show this year.
The inclusion Of foreign cars is a
new move. Another change is the
grouping of the higher-priced cars
in a salon on the second floor. A
number of these cars are entitled
to draw for space on the first floor,
but it is believed that public con-
venience will be assisted by a
grouping of cars in the higher
priced scale on one level. To meet
this new arrangement a broad
staircase is being built into the
interior of the Palace leading from
the first to the second floor.

ing of American cars include
