staff of salesmen will be able to show them around more easily and more satisfactorily.
 The Waterbury Automobile Deal- ers' association are sponsoring this mammoth exhibition this week and car lovers from all parts of the state are expected to pay the vari- ous showrooms Q visit. Every make of automobile made in this country will be seen at one or more of the local showrooms.
 New Models Enjoyed
 Persons who have already viewed some of the new models are high in their praise of them. They are even more beautiful than last years. Power, strength, beauty, and comfort are combined as one of the features this year.
 The Waterbury Automobile Deal- ers' Association, organized in 1913, is Q progressive business organiza- tion, and progress will be easily noticed in their various exhibits this week. Fair competition and sport- rnanlike attitude. among the dealers themselves have been noticed among the dealers themselves star among the group members annually, a fact by which the public them selves benefit.
 The materials used in this years editions of the new cars have under gone rigid tests for strength and lon- gevity. In several cases engine de- sign has been radically simplifled, providing less parts to wear out and realizing more kilter.
 Motors this year will in all prob- ability produce more power with less effort and strain, emphasizing more acceleration, more peaceful riding. less noise, and loads of more dur ability.
 Changes Evident
 Design changes will be more evil dent this year than ever before. Ere quently the radiator grille is raked back I1ire, and in most cases the grille itself has been so treated aS to merge into the design of the car, with the body color carried down the middle of the front end. Chromium is used lavishly in the grilles, most of which are die cast and massive. Chromium also finds its way into the louverS on almost all cars, the deco- rative possibilities of that metal be- ing high.
 The keynote of the new models will be smoothness. Its engine oper- ation is smooth. It can go, as has been said, faster than any sensible person wants to drive 1t. But that extra speed means power, applied steadily and effortlessly at a reason able rate of progress, with that re- serve burst always ready should the emergency arise.
 Its stopping qualities will be smooth. The powerful, evenly ad- justed hydraulics or power brakes bring it to @ stop, not with a wild jerk or series of efforts, but in one firm, steady application of force. To do that, to overcome the tremendous forward momentum that the mod ern car works up, the brakes must have several times the power of the engine. And automotive engineers have seen to 1t that they have.
 Its riding qualities will be smooth. The engine is mounted on rubber, so that motor vibrations are not transmitted to the frame and body. The springing and shock absorbers sec to 1t that the body is also free from road shocks. It glides along the road as gracefully, as quietly and as fiuidly as @ panther stalking it's prey. That is @ quality that all cars have today, and that none but the most expensive had a few years ago.
 It will be smooth in appearance. Beautifully proportioned, artistically colored inside and out, with chro- mium appointments, 1t is worth looking at, as 1t is worth driving. It's streamlining gives 1t grace. makes 1t appear long and low, and massive. Rap it with your fingers and 1t sounds solid, thanks to steel and the careful work of insulating 1t against noise and shock. Try the doors. They work quietly, don't rattle.
