In the Motor World
BY G. ADAMS HOWARD.

Coffee-tan, gray and maroon appear IN
favor in approximately the order named.
Two-tone color combinations of excep-
tionally high luster, new molding stripes
and advanced wheel color treatment are
expected.
Desirable Accessories.
Among the new accessories are many
things which motorists may desire.
There is clever combination sun-glare
shield and radio antenna. Externally
the shield looks like any other and it is
mounted with chromium plated
bracket, permitting any position, side
wise or forward. But inside the device
there is concealed a complete antenna
long enough to operate any of the pop
ular automobile radio sets.
An unusual and probably welcome ac-
drain plug in the bottom of the engine
crankcase. and by means of an extern
sion handle, brought out where 1t is
easily reached, makes the job of drain
ing the crankcase the work Of but a
moment. 1t can even be done with
white kid gloves on.
The mention of oil attracts attention
to new type of lubricant, put up in
exactly the same sort of container in
which milady's lipstick comes. This IS
intended for the fabrication of door
latches. Being clean and stainless, it
should be welcomed. For those unfor-
tunate enough to get smudges on wear
ing apparel, a new dry cleaning fluid
is to be offered which is not only odor-
less, but, even better, actually has been
perfumed to leave a gentle. sweet fra
GRANGE after the work is done.

News From New York.

Interesting news comes from New
York regarding the coming automobile
show.
When visitors enter Grand Central
Palace to view the Thirty-third Ma
tional Automobile Show, January to
IL they will see an exposition differing
somewhat from any Of the automobile
will be noted on all sides. Certain rigid
rules of former years have been modi-
fled to permit various mechanical and
moving apparatus for demonstrating
purposes. CutOut motors and chassis
Will be shown in operation. Various
tests viii be mechanically illustrated;
il short, there will be many things to
piquc the interest Of the visitor in adj
dition to the cars themselves.
ASIDE from rhythmic movement and
color, possibly nothing will be more
striking than the general reduction
noted in the price of the cars. Coupled
with this fact is the very interesting one
that without exception the cars are
modish in appearance and offer many
novel features. Naturally the fashion,
ably dressed woman of today wishes to
be seen in fashionable car but men
demand up-to-dateneSS in car appear
ance probably every bit as much as
women, and they also demand modern
comforts, such as interior heaters for
Winter use, adequate ventilation, deep
cushions, comfort-giving springs, easy
steering, etc.
Numerous Innovations.
Car bodies for 1888 will reveal nuner-
Gus innovations. The lines are accentu-
ated by wider and longer bodies, which
are hung lower than heretofore. In
most cases the wheel base has been
10rCtheropd Thocn hniiac rDory,ojt
greater speed, being designed on the
Aerodynamic principle of streamlining.
This permits the air to flow smoothly
over the entire surface of the car, de-
creasing turbulent flow, which adds to
wind resistance. But the development
OF the streamlined body has not resulted
in SameneSS of design. On the con-
trary. there will be variety of beauti-
full and pleasing forms in the different
price classes
Wider front and rear compartments
broader seats, adording more comfort
able riding qualities Arrangements for
adjusting seat cushions and backs are
among the rehnements contributing to
driver and passenger comfort. Driver
seat control of the rear curtain to elm
irate the glare of a following car at
night will make its debut.
Better ventilation of the body with
out discomfort will be displayed by sew
eral manufacturers. In one the dual
cowl ventilators may be fully opened in
rain or snoWstorm. The water is
trapped in an ingenious tank with a
battle and led through a special tube
outside the car. Screens in cowl venti-
litorS to keep out insects will be seen.
The battle Of colors should be highly
interesting. Black is leading blue at
present although blue was the more
popular finish last season. However,
many of the 1888 offerings are to be
seen in more sporty, more cheerful
tones. Next to blue there appears to
be a preference for yellowish greens,
While browns are returning to favor.

To Head A. X. b. A.

Capt. H. c. Whitehurst, engineer of
highways of the District of Columbia,
will be the next president of the Amer
lean Road Builders Association. The
National Capital road official, long a
prominent figure in the associations
activities, is the only nominee for the
presidency in the election which will
be held coincidental with the annual
convention and exposition which will
be held in Detroit, January 1920. He
will succeed Maj. T. H. Cutler, chief
engineer of the Missouri State Highway
Department.
The part that general building con-
struction can and should play in
economic recovery will provide the
theme of the Building Congress Day"
program. Nine nationally known speak
ers will deal with as many subjects
vitality related to the revival of this
branch of the industry which, with
status Of a six billion dollar annual
enterprise just prior to the depression
Capacity of the industry to abate
unemployment, recognized as primary
step in business betterment, will be
dealt with at both the morning and
afternoon sessions of the building
program which will be presented on
Friday of the Congress week. The
forenoon program will hear a discus
sion and analysis of the subject, TO
days Labor Problem Applied to Con-
struction," while, in the afternoon, the
question Of Economic Recovery via
the Construction Route will be con-
sidered
Third Subject.
A third subject with which this gen.
eral session OF the congress will deal
that also has an important bearing
upon the employment issue is that of
"a SiX-year National Construction Pro-
gram" Under this heading the con-
gress will hear an analysis of the long
term outlook in SO far as the industry
is able to provide a remedy for cur
rent conditions.
Rebuilding Blighted Areas-Efect
Upon Economic Conditions" is another
topic listed on the program which
reaches beyond the interests of the in
dustry itself to those of the Nation at
large.
The question of legislation affecting
this far-reaChing enterprise is another
important one scheduled to receive the
consideration of the industry. The need
for coordination of such legislation in
order to eliminate unnecessary restric-
tons upon the industrys development
and consequent service to the public,
is generally regarded as one of the
pressing problems now confronting con-
StructiOn enterprise.

~HRISTMAS is here. Every mo-
torist could give every other
motorist and every pedestrian
~ a wonderful present If they
made a promise to drive safe
and considerably during the coming
year. How traffic fatalities and acct
dents would decrease!
Winter really put in its appearance
last week. Strange to say, despite the
condition of the icy streets, there was
no jump in the number of mishaps.
The reason is that the majority of mo-
florists remembered to drive carefully.
1t is pity that one cannot remember
this at all times.
Speaking of icy streets. the Highway
Department Of the District of Columbia
should be commended for its work in
removing snow. Notwithstanding the
heaviest fall in recent years. the depart
ment excelled in its attempts to get
traffic moving eXpeditiously. Washing
ton is fortunate to have highway de-
partment of the caliber of its present
personnel.

them, a belief which persisted into
and past the Middle ages.
The origin of these stories it is
difficult to find. No remains of any
such animal have ever been discov-
cred, nor do writer's claim to have
actually seen a specimen of them.
And yet the belief in their existence
is so widespread in several parts Of
the world that it might be made to
appear foolish to deny that any such
creature ever existed. A glance at
the heraldic presentation of a uni
corn in the British royal coat-of-
arms should serve to show the alb.
surdity of attempting to identify the
ancient unicorn with so ungainly u
one-horned animal as the rhinoceros,
as would some writer's.

SUPREME IN THEIR
OWN ENVIRONMENT
Australian Natives Masters of
Woodcraft.

Among the wonders of empire are
living men of the Stone age whose
forefathers saw the rise and decay
of all bygone civilizations.
Ignorant as they seem to US, the
aborigines Of Australia in their own
environment are as much in advance
of our most brilliant scientists as
our scientists are in advance Of the
average man. Our cleverest men
would starve to death if dropped
down without food, clothing, or
weapons in the heart of Australia,
but the Stone age men thrive and
flourish in such conditions.
They live solely by hunting, their
knowledge of the habits of wild
things being uncanny. If they were
not the worlds most marvellous
trackers they would have died out
ages ago. They can read every
scratch and mark on the ground as
easily as you read this paper. and
can tell whether the creature they
are chasing is young or old, what
It. is doing, and where it is going.
They eat anything. even snakes
and lizards, and once they get on its
track a creature is doomed, for they
never give up until they get it. Nor
DO they make the mistake, common
to the whites, of trying to dig out of
its burrow an animal that is not at
home.
Their crude form of writing by
burning or carving dots and lines
on sticks-stick messages-enableS
them to send any information by
runner to distant members of their
tribes. But even more wonderful
are their smoke messages. They
seem TO converse in smoke as easily
as the airplane writes in smoke in
our own skies.
Starting the fire by rubbing one
piece of wood against another, they
select their materials in the most
careful manner. Familiar with the
type of smoke given off by different
woods, they make smoke of various
densities and colors. thick clouds,
light spirals. or furries in brown,
yellow, black, blue. or pink; and ev-
cry change of color and form has
its meaning in their age-old code.

NOV isn't II just like whimsical,
~ fickle fashion TO inaugurate

springtlme with summer just about

ture of moods and fancies has done
-cuffed the newest, smartest suits
with fur. edged the flowing sleeves
of sheerest evening frocks with
fur, the latest wooden street dresses
are likewise bordered with fur and
even the vivacious little jacquettes
which flourish in the modes of the

There's this about the smart-look-

claims for the models they trim the
fact OF their being Of last-minute

New Spring Fabrics Not
Exactly What They Seem

New fabrics for spring toGs are
not what they seem.
The demand for economy coupled
with the ingenuity of Partisan de-
signers has produced cotton which
looks like wool. silk which resem-
bles fur or tweed and wool reminis-
cent of lace
They are the most interesting
stuffs Paris has produced since the
war, and their colors are as gay as
a school girls paintbox.
Among the outstanding fabric
evolutions which smart women will
wear this spring are Rodier's cottons
woven In heavy ribbed design to re
semble tweeds or diagonal woods, ar.
tificial silks in nubby weave which
recalls astrakhan fur and novelty
weaves combining wool. silk. artifi
cial silk and cotton in heavy ratine
effect.
Plain stuffs promise the greatest
popularity, but prints In interlaced
effect. small polka dots and Scotch
plaids (both silk and woody already
are marked by fashions favor.
Prints are either a combination
of white on brown. blue or black or
a welter of many bright tints.
Silks for town are heavy and lus-
terless. while those for informal and
sports wear are as light as a sum-
mer breeze.
The Coolidge examiner., 1932-06-10

Much of the charm of the late
spring and early summer suits Is
due 10 the fascinating lightweight
wOolens of which they are made.
Homespun, sheer crepy and pebbly
weaves, also diagonal effects and
especially the new lacy openwork
wOolens In grays and beige and In
lovely pastel monotones are impor-
tant in the list of smart suitings
which are taking on accents Of fur
in harmonious color blendings. The
vogue for white is reflected In suits
of white flannel, white jersey and
white tweed, their cuffs of white fox
giving them an air of distinction.
Gray wooden with a rough peb
bly, finish fashions the youthful bo
lero suit illustrated to the right.

Widespread Belief In

From very remote antiquity down
TO the present time, China and Japan
have preserved a belief in powerful
one-horned wild animal, in the va

In one of his treatises speaks of

Opening the Bid, Third and
Fourth Hand

In making an original bid, the
position of Dealer and of Second
Hand are almost identical in that
each makes his declaration before
his partner has had a chance TO bid
or pass.
After the Dealer and Second
Hand have passed, Third Hand Is
in a different position. because his
partner has shown that he cannot
be counted on for honor-tricks.
Therefore unless Third Hand has
at least three honor-tricks he should
pass; and Fourth Hand should fol-
low the same rule.
Defensive rather than offensive
strength is the thing to be consid-
cred when player reopens the bid
ding and gives his opponents a sec
ond chance TO enter the contracting.
Should your opponents have an ad-
vanced score, even three honor
tricks would be insufficient for
third or fourth hand opening bid.
Remember that a hand is always
stronger defensively when the
honor-tricks are distributed rather
than massed. The distribution Of
your honor strength and protection
in major suits are always impor-
tant factors to keep in mind when
opening doubtful Third and Fourth
Hand bids.
At the same time, do not allow
yourself to be so fearful Of opening
the bidding that you are tempted
to pass out sound minimum Fourth
Hand bids which might result in
securing your side partial score
or even, occasionally, game. Your
partner, although he has passed
originally, may be just under his
quota Of honor-tricks, or may hold
some very long suit, sufficiently
strong for a secondary bid.
An old bridge wheeze which has
cost players many points in the loss
of valuable partial scores Is:
"Never open fourth hand unless
you can see game In your hand"
Actually to see the probability of
game in your own hand you would
have to have a holding Of extraor-
binary strength; either great trump
length, or a least 5h honor tricks.
The question TO ask yourself be
fore opening Fourth Hand bid is
not, "Can see gamer" but, "Can l
see enough defensive tricks to hope
that, with about one trick from my
partner, can save game against
any bid my opponents are apt to
declare"
Another misunderstanding which
occurs among less experienced play
ers is that the position of Third or
Fourth Hand carries the same re-
strictions Of bids following the
opening declaration as 1t does on
the original bids. Once the con-
tracing has been opened a players
original position in regard to the
dealer is an affair Of practically no
moment.
