It was something of a hardship to get to
the Palace after 6 o'clck yesterday. Those

show was not quite so crowded as on Mon- j

the same.
. According to Al Reeves, more than eight ■
hundred* agents and dealers from all parts <
of th© country are in this city, and many of
them were on hand yesterday to complete
negotiations for handling certain cars. Mr.

purchasers, a canvass of some of the lead
ins makers indicated that a healthy retail
trade hap been done since the show opened.
Charles Skinner, of the Mitchell forces,
reported that fourteen cars of that make
had been sold, not counting sales to agents,
while Oaaton Plaintiff, of the Ford com
pany, said that the demand for his car had
increased 68 per cent over a year ago.
-It has been, a busy .week for. the makers
of motor trucks, who have thrown their
entire selling force into the breach, but it
has been a difficult matter, even with this
large force, to answer all inquiries from
interested merchants.
The improvement in heavy traction vehi
cles has been marked in the last few yearg,
and the claims of superiority over the
horse for heavy trucking have had ample
proof in actual operation.
A sale of ten one-ton trucks to an Ohio
concern was made by the Grabowsky
Power Wagon Company, in addition to
several sales of single cars to New York

RECRdTISG BY MAIL.
Considering Plans to Stimulate
. f ; Enlistments. '
[VltAn 'l'ht- Tribune Bureau. 1
; •- Washington, January 5.
RECRUITING BY MAIL— military
and naval authorities are considering the
methods which it may be necessary, sooner
or later, to adopt to stimulate enlistments.
With the return of prosperity and the de
mand for lah,or In all parts of the country,
recruiting for the. services naturally falls
off. and some officers believe that even
under conditions most favorable to recruit
ing there will be more or less difficulty in
obtaining: eligible men. Of course, this
situation is easy to meet by modifying the
recruiting requirements.- When there are
numerous candidates it is possible to exer
cise a stricter selection and when the ap
plicants for enlistment are not so numerous
it is easy enough to let down the bars.
The Navy Department has adopted a plan
which .establishes the mall order principle
iii naval recruiting. It has opened a branch
recruiting office in New York City where
the work of obtaining recruits will be con
ducted by circular letter. Names of elig
ible young men have been obtained and will
be kepi on file, and a series of letters point
ing out the .advantages of the service will
be sent to them.
CHANGRS IN ARMY COMMANDS.—
Major General J Franklin Bell, who trans
fers the duties of chief of s'jff of the army
in April to Major General l^eonard Wood,
will •be the next commander of the army
in the Philippines. General Bell will suc

tires from the service in January, 1911.
It also has been determined that Major
General Frederick D. Grant, now in com
mand of the Department of the Lakes, will
be assigned again to his oU' command at
the head of the Department of the East, to
si cceed General Wood. It is generally un
derstood that Major General W. H. Carter,
now In command of the Department of
Luzon, will be assigned to command of the
Department of the T^akes.

The Low-Cost, High-Class Car
Silent as the Foot of Time
"Jl long, low, rakish craft " which carries so much classical
beauty that it will open the eyes of those unenlightened ones who
still cling io the fallacy that high price proves intrinsic merit
This car, as well as the other
two of the Mitchell line, contains more
real automobile value than any other car now on
the market, and you will be given every oppor
tunity to prove it for yourself.
The fact that motor cars began
with almost prohibitive prices, and many
of them still linger around the high-cost mark,
has created the belief in many minds that it is
impossible to build a low-cost motor car that is
really high-class. Yet to the student the belief
has been disproved by the existence of many low
cost cars which supply all the essential features of
the high cost cars, and these cars arc steadily advan
cing in public estimation because of their consistent
performances year in and year out.
The excuse for a medium-priced
six-cylinder car is the public demand, and
the six cylinder is just as easy of accomplishment
as the four cylinder providing the factory produ
cing it is capable of building a good motor of any
power. A six requires a little more material than
a four, but it does not follow that it runs into
materially more money save from the purely
superficial standpoint of "get every penny you
can for what you do."
Take, for instance, the Mitchell
Six-cylinder, new this year. It is a de
velopment of the Mitchell Four of 1909. Two
extra cylinders have been added and the frame
and wheel base lengthened, but the Mitchell
Company found that the cost of this development

of Madison Square Garden for the tenth
national automobile show, which opens >>n
Saturday night at 8 o'clock for a period
of one week, has recently been Increased
fr< m 530.000 to J3S.UW.
Even those most familiar with the old
Garden arid its multitude of exhibitions will
be amazed at the wondrous change. The
work is progressing rapidly and is nearly
finished. Already big steel girders have
been* covered with thousands of yards of
azure blue cloth, which gives a sky effect
to the dome. Huge arc lamps, with colored
shades, are suspended at frequent inter
vals, while the boxes that front the arena
have been lraped. These boxes will seat
one thousand persons, and will be a dis
tinctive feature, that never before has been
seen at any New York automobile show.
' ■At the arena entrance of the Garden
plasterers are modelling a Ron: an fountain,
which is fronted by a curving- seat for vis

not sufficient to warrant any change in the orig
inal price of the Big Four, so they made no
change in the price when they created the Six.
Thus there springs into existence the medium
priced nx- cylinder car, which is so good in every
particular that it raises the pertinent question:
"Why do other makers insist on such radical dif
ference in price between a four-cylinder car and
a six-cylinder car?"
The medium- priced Mitchell
Six-cylinder car contains the same excellent
materials as are used in the high-cost cars — they
show the same careful workmanship, the same
power, the same speed, the same design and the
same finish and equipment. Why is it then that
one factory can produce a six-cylinder car at
I- ,1)00 which will give perfect satisfaction and
please the taste and comfort just as well, while
another concern insists upon $6,000, or three times
as much, tor a six that is no better in any particular?
The answer is that the public has been educated to
believe in high prices, and the makers of high
cost cars are content to let the public remain in
its unenlightened state.
There is a grow ing tendency
towards the six, and what becomes popu
lar in this country must be produced. It i* the
enttrfrising maker who immediately begin* to
rigurc on how the cost of the popular vehicle may
be reduced while the "stand-still" maker, who b
anxious to get rich quick, tries to see h»w much he
can increase his profits, and he depends wholly on
the public's lack of mechanical knowledge to get
away with it.
