accessories. Electricians, engineers
and mechanics are assembling and
putting the finishing touches on in
geniously designed dissected chassis
and engine exhibits to show In action
what makes the wheels go round.
BY degrees these creations and ma
terials will be shipped and installed
in the huge exhibition building in
time for the Armistice Day opening.
The combined effort of these MANY
elements will make this brilliant show
probably the most spectacular and
"livest" yet offered by the sponsors.
Action and working units will be
accented-a fact which is quite pleas
ing to the Show Committee. These me-
chanical wonders will be explained to
visitors either by silent captions or au-
tomato talking and motion pictures, or
by lecturers who will speak In WELL
modulated-clear, but restrained-
voices. Manager Alfred Reeves is most
insistent on this piont: They are lee
turers and demonstrators-notb barkers
trained to tell their story briefly and
succinctly.
Many visitors who step into the dri-
ver's seat Of certain cars to be exhibited
certainly will experience q slightly
strange feeling when they reach for
the usual gear-shift lever-the "wobble
stick" and fail to find it. Instead Of
being mounted in the floor, they will
find the shift control on the steering
post or dash, quite close to the right
hand side of the steering wheel. THIS
leaves the front compartment practi-
cally clear, with plenty of foot room for
a third occupant of the front seat. In
nearly all of the new models there Is to
be noted even more room to accommo-
date the trio in the drivers seat than
at any time in the past. Cars which
had the shift on the steering post last
year have refined the design to make
the operation easier.
Novel car introductions are promised
Tor the opening. At least one new four
cylinder car is definitely scheduled for
It's debut this year and two "fours" are
continuee from last season. There also
are some new skies" More "eiphts"
also are rumored, but not yet an
nounced. Modern methods of balanc-
ing engines and improvement in fuel
distribution make possible remarkably
smooth performance, even with fewer
cylinders than in the past. The high
er-priced cars will be eights, for the
most part, some revealing even more,
tWelves and sixteenS.
Again there has been an increase in
the power output for 1899, even where
engine size remains unchanged. This
increase is realized by higher COM
preston. Improvements in carburetion
and distribution. together with other
refinements in design details.

By G. Adams H0ward.

The biggest news Of this week in
the motoring world In the National
Capital certainly Is the official an
nounoement that an automobile show
will be held here.
At the last moment when nearly
erevyone feared that Washington
would miss the annual event this
year because there was no suitable
place to hold 1t, Richard j. Murphy,
manager Of the Washington Automo-
tive Trade Association, comes along
with the definite statement that the
10Th annual show will be held Novem-
Der 5-12 inclusive at the Chevy Chase
Ice Palace, 446l Connecticut avenue,
just south Of Albemarle street.
The news is good news for the
automobile show here has become one
Of the cityis institutions and for 1t
to fall by the wayside along with many
other traditions that have given way
to modern times would be lamentable
indeed. The fact that 1t almost hap
pened shows convincingly the need
of an auditorium in Washington, q
city of more than 500, 900 population.
The garage on Twenty-fourth street
which housed the exhibit last year
was not again available, and for a
while the basement Of the present
Ice Palace was considered. But Al
steps seemed too much for the indi-
vidual visitor and insufficient number
OF exits Kept permit from being
given by the Fire Marshall's Office.
A circus tent at one time was con-
templated, but the idea was found
impractical.
But now the main floor of the Ice
Palace, or ice palace to be. seems to
answer all requirements. Surely the
location is convenient. A temporary
wood floor will be placed over the ice
forming pipes on which the cars will
rest, and of course, the ice refrigera-
ton plant will not be in operation
1t is to be hoped that the show
officials will find their reception much
warmer than the name of the habitat
indicates.
Indeed the welcome should be warm
and enthusiastic. The automobile
business here comes next to the food
business, and throughout the Nation
the industry and its affiliated lines
are of known importance. In fact
the prosperity Of the Nation in no
small way depends upon successful
automotive year.
The show this year is the earliest
ever to be held in Washington. 1t
also for the first time precedes the
New York show. Shows during the
last few years have been held in the
fall months rather than at the be-
ginning Of the year in conjunction
with President Roosevelt's plea that
more continuous employment would
be provided. especially during the
colder season of the year.

This deal was played by ]. r. Nc
Donough with Charles Lyons as his
partner against Mr.. and Mrs. william
Cheeks at their studio, 2028 Decatur
place NV.
Mr.. McDonough opened with a
spade and when his partner bid two
hearts to keep the bidding open he
switched to three diamonds and finally
wound up with a small slam contract
in spades which was doubled by Mr..
Cheeks in the west and redoubled by
south. which was rather questionable
inaSmuch as six spade can be de-
feated double dummy. That is. it is
possible by certain lead and follow
ing third play to beat the contract.
As 1t was, however, this play was not
made and declarer won his small slam
spade contract.
Mr.. Cheeks explained that a small
slam contract in diamonds was the
better bid, as this cannot be defeated
by any possible play. In the six
spade contract had east led his single
ton diamond, 1t would have been taken
by declarer, who was then bound to
lead a spade which west would win
with his ace and return a diamond
which east would trump and thus set
the contract The six diamond con-
tract. however cannot be defeated by
any defense East and West would
take only one trick, the ace Of spades.
