TARIFF IGNORED
! As KING OPENS
! PARLIAMENT
British Rulers Speech Brief;
Active Interest in League
Projects Promised

LONDON, Nov. 10 0NSJ
King George formally opened
Parliament today, riding from
Buckingham Palace with the
Queen in the golden state coach
and delivering a speech from the
throne in the House of Lords.
Thousands Of Londoners lined
the streets despite the rain TO
cheer tie King and Queen as
they passed.
Speech Is Short One
The Kings speech was one Of
the shortest on record, totaling
less than 500 words.
He touched briefly on interna
tional and empire affairs, espe'
cially from the point of view Of
economic problems, and said the
new Parliament should strive TO
balance the British budget and
take whatever additional steps
necessary to national economic
reconstruction.
Is Silent On Tariff
The King made no reference
to the widespread demands tor
a protective tariff, but this was
not surprising, in view of the fact
that Prime Minister Macdonald
who was responsible for the
tenor of the speech, has not yet
committed himself on a protec'
tion policy. The King said:
my government intends to
pursue a'pOlicy promoting peace
and good will, and will take
an active interest in the work
of the League of Nations.
Hopes for Disarmament
Particularly will attention be
given to preparations for the
approaching disarmament con-
ference, the successful results
of which 1 am convinced will
produce great universal benefit"

SPEED IS PART
Of SERVICE

The trend 30 speedier motor
cars so noticeable In the indus
try today will prove o feature
of permanent attraction only in
those automobiles wherein speed
is predicated on a sound economic
basis, thinks Elijah G. Poison,
general sales manager Of the REQ
Motor Car Company.
Mr.. Poxson declares that those
who regard speed as an end in
itself, and so cater directly and
entirely to the speed demon, will
behold a vanishing market con-
fronting them.
"Speed must be harnesSed
for service" said Reo's sales
head. "It must make its re-
turn in dollars and cents, not
only in time saved and ground
covered, but in improved perfOr-
nance of the motor car. Ef.
ficiency Is the watchwOrd for

Limiting Model Changes
To 2 Months Lauded

TOLEDO, Ohio, Jan. 2S.-Recent
action Of the National Automobile
Chamber Of Commerce, wherein
the Manufacturers committee
signified it's willingness to confine
all model changes to the last two
months of the year, and thus
eliminate one of the great curses
Of the automobile industry, was
one of the important utterances
of President L, A. Miller in a
special broadcast over q special
radio hook.up.
In addition to his discussion Of
a set time for model changes in
the closing months Of each year,
Mr.. Miller, who is recognized as
one of the great leaders Of a
great industry, briefly discussed
the economic improvements made
by the industry, as well as other
major issues.

That the total attendance will
reach 10000 was predicted be-
fore the opening of the show
by Richard j. Murphy, show
manager. Attendance has been
gaining steadily and it is eX-
pected that during the remaining
days of the show the number of
visitors will exceed that of cor
responding periods of previous
local automottve expositions. Mr..
Haller, chairman OF the show
committee, said:
"The results Of the autOmO-
bile show thus far have been
gratifying to the Washington
AutOmOtive Trade Association.
Not only are the crowds at the
Auditorium large, but visitors to
the show this year are more out
spoken than ever in their praise
of the newest motor cars. Show
crowds are not content to wan"
der paSsively through the spa
cious aisles at the Auditorium
and glance quickly from car to
car. They are inspecting all
the models closely"
Exhibits include more than 15C
of the newest passenger car mod
els, in addition to wide variety
of accessory, service and shop
equipment displays, as well al
showings of marine and airplane
units. In respect to completeness
the show this year is far in ad
vance of any Of it's predecessors

glances. They revel in it, as
Just by way of illustrating the
point with q detail that is quite
actually to be missed the show
visitor might have q look at the
way bumpers are mounted. Not
long ago, it will be recalled,
brackets rivited to the frame walls
took care Of the bumpers. This
was all right but rather crude. In
the general process Of dressing up
the 1881 car the designer has dis
carded the old bracket and sup
planted it with special, we'll
designed, bumper pads on the
front Of the spring horns. An un-
important detail? If so why did
SO many manufacturers change

BILE. No. it is part Of the picture
of a 1881 car that is racy and
graceful.
Just as housewives dislike the
idea of sweeping the dirt under
the bed, so have car designers
come to the conclusion that a
graceless looking mechanical part
sticking out from under a grace
full fender detracts from good
good appearance.
Now gasoline tanks are a vital
mechanical part. Their primary
function is one Of utility. It Is
hard to design a beautiful gas
oline tank. The car maker has
got around this problem by de-
signing cover plate for it. In
the past this was largely confined
to the expensive cars. Now the
little fellows-in price-have taken
it up as their own ideas.
The provision of cover for
tho gas tank, however, Is but
one of several steps to remove
the ragged unfinished look from
the rear. The spare tire which
never in the world could be re-
garded as a thing Of beauty
when attached to the rear has
given way to a trunk on an In
creasingly large number of cars.
The spare, fitted over a snappy
looking wire wheel, has found
its way forward to fender wells
where it looks well. In all price
classes it's the same.
A glance will indicate that the
front end. likewise has been I'M
proved, Slightly more than a
glance, however, will show the
details that has contributed to
that improvement in appearance.
For one thing, the hole that

small but contributing to the
overall appearance-the aperture
through which the hand crank
Is inserted on those rare occa-
sions has been fitted with the
equivalent of q nice looking trap
door. No longer does that hole
stand there, an ugly reminder
Of the fact that batteries some
time fail.
The reform in closed-car venti-
lation Is not visible unless one has
an eye to detail. Chiefly 1t is ex-
pressed in kick-type ventilators in
the side cowl and down near the
toeboard. Working in conjunc'
ton with the windshield, this de-
vice is proving especially success
full in changing the air from bad
to good.
The nameplate at the front of
the radiator is disappearing rap
idly. In it's place one finds a
shield Of heraldic flavor. The
practice of carrying headlights on
stanchions, with q tiebar between,
has resulted in the relocation OF
the cars name. In full or in part
it is carried decoratively on the
light tiebar.
The factor that contributes to
the impression that there is
something r adically different
about tenders amounts to no
more than a detail. They are
