Stage Set Up.

A giant stage. comprising the
exhibition hall and main floor of
the Washington Auditorium. has
been set up for the display of the
1928 model automobiles.
New lines in some cases, new
models in many others. and vastly
improved and refined automobiles
In every instance. the array OF
cars TO be exhibited in the Audi
forum this year exceeds in num-
Der and appeal any similar exposi-
ton in the past. Cars whose
names have been by-words for
two decades or more now are
appearing in a form about which
the nameplate is the only resem-
blance to the design with which
the public associates the name.
Pioneer producers of one Spe-
cific type Of car have added COM
panion products until their full
line aggregates cars of three or
even four different sizes in the
widest possible variety Of body
styles. Those who have not taken
this step in their effort to reach
a wider consumer market at least
have added open and closed mod
else until the ultimate in this
respect has been reached.
This policy, together with the
fact that sweeping and vital. If
not radical, changes have been
made over the 1927 models. is
taken by the Washington Auto
motive Trade Association COM
E1ittee in charge of the show to
presage the largest attendance in
the history Of the exposition. The
public. with its sense that a keen
competitive struggle underlies the
improvement in the 1928 cars, is
avid TO view the first battle array
as revealed in the automobile
show, in the opinion of its
sponsors.
Manufacturers generally have
denied that there is bitterness in
the competitive set-up of today,
but show attendance marks else
where indicate that this denial
has not been fully accepted" says
Rudolph Jose. chairman Of the
show committee. In the case of
the National Automobile Show in
New York the public's refusal in
this respect was accepted as one
OF the basic factors in the record
breaking attendance. The Phila-
celphia, Cincinnati and other
local shows have revealed SINH
lar tendency. The local trade as

almost in the same proportion as
the number OF cars. Motorists are
not blaming carelessness or wanton
speeding for this condition. but for
the most part place the responsible

Under the old regulations the car
on the main road had the right OF

been rendered by the United States
Board of Tax Appeals of the Internal
Revenue Bureau. and is being called
TO the attention of the motorists Of the

The effect of the decision is that II

may deduct such losses In the COM

true, under the decision. the association
points out. whether the vehicle. at the
time Of the damage. is being used
either for pleasure or business purposes.
Previous Decisions Reversed.
The bureaus decision sustaining the
motorists contention that he should
be entitled TO this deduction. Is a COM

OF the board OF appeals on such losses
The case arises from an accident a
motorist sustained In 1924 at Rich

automobile which. when wrecked. was
being driven by his daughter for pleas
