Subjects Reaching Into
Many Lines; Films Shown
The story of crowds at the Automo?
bile Show is not a new record on the
motor car industry's talking machine.
It is indeed old stuff. Like some other
things about American cars, this is fol?
lowing the foreign fashion, too. Manu?
facturers who have had a chance to
compare the recent Olympia exhibition
in London and the Grand Palais dis?
play in Paris with the current motor
car show in this city say that record
breaking crowds were seen abroad also.
For instance, Edward S. Jordan, presi?
dent of the Jordan Motor Car Com?
pany, who attended the shows abroad,
says that although the crowds in Lon?
don taxed the Olympia, thus far the
attendance at New York is of even
greater proportions. He expects a tre?
mendous increase in attendance at. all
American shows this year.
One of the big events for to-ri1ghfc is
the annual dinner ?of the National Au
tomoboile Chamber of Commerce at $he
Commodore. A meeting of the stand?
ards committee of the Society of Auto
otive Engineers will be held this after?
noon at the society's rooms, 29 West
Thirty-ninth Street.
There is consistent interest in the
motor truck show, which is being held
at the 8th Coast Artillery Armory, Je
rome Avenue and 194th Street. The
conferences on motor vehicle subjects
are proving very attractive to business
men, to whom naturally tne exhibition
is of prime importance. Expert? in
charge are busy answering questions
that tend to show that the possibilities
of efficient, low cost transportation are
reaching into a growing variety of busi?
nesses. The exhibit? of equipment and
parts also are getting a good measure
of attention, arid the axle assemblies
particularly are noted.
At to-day's afternoon session S. M.
Williams, chairman of the tfecjeraj
Highways Council, will speak on
"Working for Highway Improvement"?
Charles T. Terry will discuss "Taking
an Interest in Legislation," and Harry
Meixell jr. will speak on "The Automo?
bile Legislative Council." At night
S. S. Merithew, of the Packard com?
pany, will talk on "Cost Accounting,
Routing and Dispatching." Joseph
Husson's topic will be "Loading and
Unloading Devices." Harold B..Wea?
ver will make an address on 'Incen?
tives for Driver and Helpers."
A "show within a show" was run yes?
terday bv the Maxwell people when
they displayed at a private view a mo?
tion picture film made in Detroit ui the
! fuel shortage days when the plant was
ordered not to use any electric power.
? It was two weeks before Christmas and
! W Ledyard Mitchell, president of the
company, decided he wouldn't kill the
holiday bv laying off 12,000 workmen
and shutting down the plant. Tractors
to furnish power were brought over the
road in zero weather from J?ort Huron
and engines from Maxtyell cars and
trucks, as well as Chalmers car*, were
set to work turning belts to furnish
power. As a result the plant ran un?
der full headway and dealers got their
cars, making it a good Christmas for
them, too.
President Mitchell was introduced
yesterday by Gordon Muir, advertising
manager of the Maxwell-Chalmers
companies. He made a. short speech,
calling attention to the desirability of
brevity by harking back to the days
when he was a 'prentice wheelwright
and giving the advice that an experi?
enced workman gave him: "The motto
of the wheelwright is: 'The longer the
spoke the bigger the tire.' " After Pres?
ident Mitchell cam? Tom Toner, sales
manager for the Maxwell-Chalmers. He
introduced the film and then the pic?
ture began.
It was an interesting presentation of
the way the automobile industry over?
night got complete independence of the
coal shortage and was a typical ex?
ample of the way this industry meets
an emergency.
One of the interesting "lobby ex?
hibits" is that of the Marmon com?
pany. In the Commodore Hotel Bert
Dingley and a coudle of assistants go
through a regular performance of tak?
ing down and reassembling a Marmon

ters. They do this three times daily?
at 10:30 a. m., 2 p. m. and 8 p. m.
The work is designed to exhibit the
standard of exactness of manufacturing
of the Mftrmon company. The parts

of fit. This is a manufacturing inherit?
ance from th? war-time days, when

Cost of Trucks to Consumers
Kept Down, Says Davey
"Of all essentials in this country^'
says Roy S. Davey, general sales man?
ager of the Bethlehem Motors Corpo?
ration, Allentown, Pa., "the motor truck
has shown probably the smallest per?
centage of increase in the dizzy climb
of prices the last year. Only as a last
resort have manufacturers boosted list
prices, though the* cost of materials and
labor has been appalling. The Beth?
lehem policy of quantity production
seems to have pervaded the entire
truck industry, though the easiest pro?
cedure would have been to grab off
a share of America's inflated prosperity.
"Bethlehem Motors always will con?
tinue to sit on high cost transportation.
Bethlehem is not content with quan?
tity production alone*, it aims for qual?
ity as well, and so far has succeeded,
as is clearly demonstrated by Bethle?
hem performance and Bethlehem lon?
gevity.
"Tha advent of the new- three-quarter
ton dependable delivery is another fac?
tor that should help check the rising
scale of living. It gives users of
smaller trucks a chance to experience
real economy, power and reliability, and
it gives Bethlehem a greater scope for
maintaining quantity production. It's
too bad every producer is not imbued
with the spirit of the motor industry."

Chassis for Coach
Work Is Special Point
"There is one feature of the new
Lafayette that made a very, great im?
pression on me when I first saw the
car shortly before Christmas," says
Hugh T. Porter, metropolitan distrib?
utor of the LaPayette.
"That feature is the opportunity the
chassis affords for fine coach work.
"It is my belief, based on an experi?
ence of, b?x years of selling automo?
biles ih the metropolitan market? that
there is an undercurrent of dissattsfac*
tion ainong New York buyers, due to
the fact that there has been no Ameri?
can csr that would lend itself to that
distinctive type of coach work for
which the best of European cars are
noted. '
"Both the chassis frame and the cen- j
ter of car gravity has been too high.
The Shape of the frame also has hin?
dered the designers of special bodies
in th? fullest expression of their crafts?
manship. Consequently the bodies
that have been designed for American
chassis have not equalled the best of
European cars in the artistic details
i that contribute to an artistic ensemble.
"Because of its design, however, the
LaPayette, I am confident, will meet
with Immediate and enthusiastic favor
from those many metropolitan buyers
who have found the American cars
lacking in the utmost smartness that
they desire and who regard the Euro?
pean cars, no matter how distinctive
they may be, impractical for use in
this country."

Hupmobile Headlights
Adjustable to Conditions
C E. Salisbury, Service Man?
ager, Tells of Improvements
in Lights on 1920 Cars
"Headlights are becoming a more im?
portant part of an automobile each
year," says C.' E. Salisbury, service
manager, Hupp Motor Car Corporation,
"not only from a practical standpoint,
i but as a 'safety first' feature.
"Ordinances regulating headlight
1 use have been passed in many cities
and states, though not all uniform in
their provisions. Consequently a motor?
ist on a touring trip must comply with
numerous regulations, which, owing to
their variety, perplex and confuse the
average tourist.
"Hupmobile owners are fortunate in
having their headlights so arranged as
?to turn sideways or up or down, de?
pending upon the particular lighting
required.
"By loosening the headlight support
bolt nut the headlight may be turned
toward the ditch or the center of the
road, depending upon the nature of the
road. The headlight is so bracketed to
the fender that it may be adjustod to
throw the light on the road immedi?
ately in front of the car, or a consider?
able distance ahead for country driv?
ing.
"A dimmer coil, in a very accessible,
position, may be changed to another
coil of different resistance strength,
thus giving a wide range of dim lights
in addition to bright headlights.
"In addition, the lamp bulbs may be
quickly focused by an outside adjust?
ment.
Oneida Truck Is
New Yorker's Invention j
Perhaps no single exhibit at the
truck show is attracting more atten- |
tion than the collection of new models |
which the Oneida Motor Truck Com- j
pany of Green Bay, Wis., is presenting.
The company is exhibiting for the first
time its new unit drive electric truck,
which accomplishes a gear reduction ;
of 16 to 1 with but two gears, the one j
being but two teeth smaller than the
other.
The Oneida electric is an invention
of John Krohn, a New Yorker, and ex- '
perimental jobs have been in Operation j
for some time at the American Rail
Way Express Company and other large
firms. The truck, however, has never
been offered to the general trade be?
fore the present season.

j Farley, of Auburn, Predicts
Big Touring Year
"Nineteen-twenty is going to be a
phenomenal touring year throughout
the whole country," says Mr. J. I. Far?
ley, vice-president and general sales
manager of the Auburn Automobile
Company, producers of the Auburn
Beauty-six.
Mr. Farley points out that his opin- '
ion is based upon the fact that while
closed cars are in as great demand as
ever the open job this year has con?
tinued to meet wide sales during win?
ter months. "The demand," says Mr.
Farley, "for open cars this season is
unprecedented."
"I have just completed an extensive
tour of the West, the Northwest and
the South, and have come to New York
for the autmobile show," said Mr.
Farley. "On this trip I interviewed
and held ?conferences with a great
many Auburn Beauty-six dealers and
distributors, and upon the information
collected from thein I feel safe in say*
ing thijt the open job is going across
big.
"An important reason for this is the
widespread interest of motorists in
tourjng, and for this interest we can
, thank, largely, the splendid 'good roads'
movement."
