business was too slow. Two yielded
to the frowns of the S. E. c.
The latest to join the retreat from
the field was the securities end of the

of the Produce Exchange. According

BRILLIANT ARRAY

New York Show Models

Many Millions.

NEW YORK, January 5.-When
the thirty-fifth automobile show
opened here today there was revealed,
in an elaborate modern setting. more
than 200 complete passenger cars
and GLASSES, representing % makes
results of the efforts of nearly 10000
automotive engineers over the last
six months.
This brilliant array of 1885 models
is the fruit of months of designing,
planning and preparation, and the
expenditure of millions of dollars. One
company alone, General Motors, spent
$35, 000,0 in new machinery, tools
and plants, for its latest models.
Simplicity, safety, speed and roomi-
ness, rather than decorative devices,
are emphasized in this years models
There are novel spring suspensions,
including the independent front wheel
mounting and the Semi-elliptic.
Springbases are longer, or the distance
between the points of attachment of
the front and rear springs has been
heightened, which makes practical
the increasing of body lengths several
inches without an increase in wheel
base. Then there is the softer spring

acting snubbers to check any ten
dency toward pitching.
One of the safety features is the
reduction of the pressure by the foot
necessary to disengage the clutch.
This, one of the many ease-of-control
lntroductionS, is a notable achieve
ment when it is considered that the
power of engines has been stepped up,
requiring greater spring pressure
of the clutch.
This year the weights of many
cars have been reduced, thanks to the
rapid progress in alloys. Thus many
1885 models, without sacrificing either
safety or dependability, have less car
pounds per horsepower to propel and
less pounds for brakes to stop car
movement and less wear on braking
materials.
The public demand for more riding
comfort without sacrifice of body
Space-the ride-between-t he-axles-
idea-is being met by moving the en-
CINE forward and over the front axle,
gaining in some models as much as
nine inches and materially increasing
overall body length, without a cor
responding increase in wheelbase.
Some cars are nearly two inches
lower than formerly, as a result of a
modern spring design which makes
practical the lowering of the center
of gravity, without sacrificing body
headroom.
