Cars with knee action, stream lines and the latest innovations in the automotive world will be on display at the automobile show opening at o'clock tonight at the Armory. The show, heralded as one of the best in years, is be- ing arranged by the Waterbury Automobile Dealers association.
 Officers of the association are Harry G. Reynolds, president; Kenneth Johnson, vice-president and Henry A. Delvy, secretary treasurer. Directors are Julian Malcolm, Frederick G. Loehmann and Clifford Atwood.
 Officers and directors together with car dealers in the city in vite everyone in Waterbury and the entire Naugatuck valley to pay a visit to the Field street Armory show.
 President Reynolds stated today that whether a person is a car owner or not he is as welcome as the owner of a string of cars, be- education in itself. The most at tractive models of the latest and modern designs will be on display. Members of the association will have representatives at each dis play to answer any and all ques- tions pertaining to the cars on show.

 Motor car manufacturers defi- nitely have broken with tradition in 1884.
 That painfully restrictive princi- pie which declares engineering progress must steer clear of the radical, and that mechanical changes must be made gradually, has gone overheard. The industry has adopted independent wheel suspension to sound its death kneel in one striking way; gone in for an extreme form of streamlining to herald 1t in still another.
 Abandoned, too, is that custom of making price so profound a consideration that it always has interfered with design progress The motor industry has turned out a more costly car and has advanc- ed prices with the conviction that

lace or the earth, the alrplane maker first set about to make his carrier as light as possible. "The less weight there is to lift, the easier to lift it," was the theory. and the first airplanes were indeed astounding things.
 Built of wire and patched with tissue paper, with a cross array of bracing wires and struts, man proved with these flimsy affairs that flight was possible.
 Then came the era of progress in air transport. Soon it was discov- cred that lightness of weight was not the only way to make it possi- ble for an airplane to progress through the atmosphere. Airplanes became more and more stable. power plants increased in weight requiring heavier struts and frames decreasing the resist ance of the air seemed to be the only way to enable the airplane to carry more weight and with heav- fer motors weight was necessary for strength.
 Then the airplane industry, like it's predecessors in transport, dis covered streamlining. Planes were built with disappearing running gear, wires were streamlined, wind tunnels were built and tests made proving the efficiency of various forms of streamlining.
 AS the aviation industry dis covered the force of wind resist ance, worked out it's problems as related to wind resistance, discov- cred true streamlining, discarded the pointed nose for the blunt rounded nose, discarded the square rear for the pointed one, and learned about vacuum drag and lift. the aviation industry pro- gressed and as progress was recorded the lessons learned by this newer form of transport were adopted by the older transportation industries.

Steamships have rede- signed their Super-structure to re- duce wind resistance, railroad de- signers discovered that by cover- | ing the vestibules between cars a with the same power plant, and the I Ahu0otAJ fSOO UC6dh " take notice.
 Streamlined automobiles have been talked about for years but when we honestly consider the relationship of streamlining in au- tomobiles to the relationship of streamlining in airplanes or, even in trains. we see where we in the automobile businesss have been perhaps slow to change, slow to accept the lesson taught by other industries, even after we have
 proven them in our own wind tunnels.

More efficient operation of ve- hicles has always been the major problem in any form of transport.
 When the cave man discovered that his drag was easier for his pony to pull when the drag ended in a leafy branch that spread the weight, he discovered the first principle of overcoming resistance. The spreading branch distributed the weight over 8 wider area so that the limb on which he carried his goods did not penetrate the ground far enough to encounter any more resistance than that of being dragged over the earth.
 When the primitive savage dis covered that by trimming the limbs off a log he could make faster time in the water seated astride the trimmed log than he could make with several trees tied to- gether in a raft, man again made discovery in streamlining.
 The automobile business can hardly be compared to the cave man and his dragging limb, or to the savage and his log that later developed into a canoe but when we face the facts and read the reports of our engineers, we sometimes think that perhaps we are not so progressive.
 Manufacturers of vehicles or transport late in the last century discovered that resistance meant lessened power. We had rubber tried buggies. high wheels to ride over Instructions, iron rails for trains, ball bearings that lessened friction, and other improvements to reduce the resistance from con tact with the ground.
 Makers of water vehicles also steadily advanced. Here the ele- ment that had to fight was water; not as compact and hard as the ground, but offering serious re- sistance to their advancement.
 We had speed boats that cut the water. speed boats that rose out ol the water and skinned the top Experiment soon proved that q projecting obstruction on the side of boat slowed it down tremend- ously.

BOLTS MUST BE TIGHT

That thump in the front of the car when driving over a rough stretch of road often is the prod uct of loose spring bolts. It makes for discomfort because the resili- ence of the spring is destroyed. It is dangerous because it means that one leaf of the spring is taking all the strain. It also contributes to hard steering. But it is most easy to remedy.

Wooden Indian Now Rare;
Few Left Are in Museums

The wooden Indian for years has
been q sentinel In front OF cigar
stores. The reason is the redskin
was the first grower of tobacco In
this country. in fact, the wooden In.
dian became a symbol Of tobacco
Just about the time the white men
Of Europe learned the art of smok-
Ing from the Indians and took 1t to
Europe.
The old wooden Indians have be-
come rare. one selling here recently
for $3.50, says a writer In the Kan
sis City Star. This one had stood
In front of q tobacco shop A years.
It is one of two left In Kansas City.
He Is known as Chief Big Smoke.
Wooden Indians are not indigenous
to American soil as Is tobacco. As
early as the reign Of James I the
wooden Indian was familiar sight
In Merrie England. There Is evidence
the old wooden chieftains were no
novelty In 1917, the year Pocahontas
died. Undoubtedly the sculptors Of
the tobacco warriors probably
never saw an Indian, because rec
ords reveal that the poor old chiefs
sometimes weren't very noble In ap-
pearance.
Europe apparently believed an In
dian was a creature who wore moth
ing but stepins made of tobacco
leaves. That's the way some Of the
early members Of the wooden
tribe" appeared. The race Is now
vanishing. There are collectors Of
wooden Indians who have estab-
lished museums as happy hunting
grounds for many kinds of the no.

bronze cigar store Indian stood In
Boston and the story goes that
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow used
to stop to admire 1t.

Salt Once Used by Many
as Medium of Exchange

Salt as q standard In the history
of commerce antedates the gold
standard. AS medium Of exchange
salt was widely used in many an
cient countries. The Mogul con-
querors Of India made DEGREES thou
sands Of years ago regulating the
standard of salt that was used for
money. Up until comparatively re-
cent times salt was used as me-
dunn of exchange in the Shan mar.
kets In Indo- China.
Besides being used as money, salt
In days gone by was a powerful de-
veloper of commerce. Being essen
tial to life and unavailable to tribes
remote from the sea from which
the substance was obtained by evap-
grafton, trade routes were early de.
veloped to provide the transporta.
ton Of salt.
For hundreds of years a caravan
route was maintained between Pal
myra and Syrian ports. Even today
much of the caravan traffic In Sa-
hara is largely in this precious COM
modify. The oldest road In Italy is
not the Appian way, but the "Via
Salaria." the Salt road along which
salt was anciently carried from the
evaporating pits at Ostia to the
Sabine territory.
Indeed. according to historians,
the worlds second largest city. Lon
don, was first founded because OF
the salt trade. During the earliest
days of European history salt was
sent from England to the continent

Wedding Cake Lore

The origin Of wedding cake goes
back hundreds of years. In ancient
Rome marriage was effected by the
simple process Of the bride and
bridegroom breaking a cake or
bread and eating it together. This,
In time, developed into the bride
cake. The bride cut 1t because 1t
was the duty of the woman to pre-
pare food for the man. Everybody
knows the superstition about sleep
ing on wedding cake. Girls, even
in this age of cynIcism, look forward
to the weddings of their friends, so
that they may get a piece Of wed.
