Buick Gets Choice of Space in Show i Preference Won Because of Large \ olmne of Business During Year. Spaces fnr the notional automobile shows in New York and Chicago were drawn Py the munufacturerg on Thursday, Ootober 2, at. the National Automol ilo Chamber of Commerce of fices, New York. The Tillicit Motor company for the seventh consecutive year was award oil first "hclro of space by reason of the fact that Jitiick did the largest volume of business in dollar's and cents durlnc. the post year. "Win ning of the first place for the past raven years,” says Lee Huff, vice president of Nebraska Buick Auto company, "is conclusive evidence of the fact that Bur?k 1 jlds the posi tion of leadership in the minds of the general public.. If this were not so, the public would not continue to buy Buieks year after year in such quan tities as to enable J’ulck to continue to have first place at the shows." "Buick has long been the standard of comparison, largely due 1° the con stant effort of Buick engineers who for a peri, d of over 2f> years have constantly improved Buick, adopting each year all those advanced fea tures that are found desirable and practical after exhaustive experiment. It is the general opinion that the national shows this year will be tin most important for the trade and pub lie in the history of the htis'ness. "As this will be the silver jubilee of the Industry more than usual attention will bo paid to beautiful decorations which will help to make the events memorable." In New York the show will beheld from January *2 to the l"th in the big armory where last year's success fti! show was held. Arklit "i^s to Ihe' Coliseum in Chi cago mean that the show this time will he tinder one roof. Cadillac Bodies Hi,s;lily.

Speed Wagon Makes Mileage Record A familiar sight on the streets of I,arising is this speed wagon with nearly ten years of service to its credit. One of the first cars that ever bore I the name of speed wagon was de livered, as It came from the assembly line, to the Hunter Dairy, a company distributing its products in Hanging, Mich., home of the Heo Motor Car company and the speed wagon. That was late in 1!U4, nearly 10 years ago. 1 With something over 400,000 miles to Its credit, this siieed wagon con tinues to deliver Its daily load of cream and milk to I.,unsing homes in time for the morning cereal. The body of this speed wagon has all reinforcing members on the out side, leaving the Inside walls per fectly smooth. This construction makes possible a more even load, since the dimensions of the body are such that the milk bottle cases just fit into it. Peterson Is Now Stewart Manager - Photo by Matsuo. I,. \Y.

Vibrationless Motoring i Automobile engineers have been t) striving lor many years to lay the ghost of vibration — but it has re mained for the Willys-Knight to bring to the United States the secret of vibrationless engine running— The Lancheater Balancer—a great discovery by a great genius — the invention of E>r.

Broadway Lamb and Dickens Are Blamed for Visiting Crowds in London By UntvprftAl Sorvlff. ( London, Oct. 11.—London Is,1 ns usual at this tune of the year, throng ed with visitors, and.the Igmdoner is too polite to tell them what nuisances they are. Yet the plain fact Is that there Is no room for visitors in modern Lon don. They take up seats in buses. They crowd the theaters. If visitors of Ixmdnn would only confine themselves to legitimate sight reeing and spend their time in the Tower and Westminster Abhey and the National gallery, nndwhat might lie called guidebook places in general, where no ggnuine Londoner has any desire to go, it would not be so had. It was unfortunate that two such writers as Lamb and TMi-kens should have been in effect advertising agents for the attractions of London. It will probably take generations to presuade strangers that the ro « mnnr-e of London Is not in the town Itself, but in their own heads. Seeing the Great. Probably, the expectation that they may at any time see the great and the famous, Is one of the chief causes of the happiness of the young in visiting London. That is why so many of them sit all day on the little green chairs at llyde Park corner and at the end of Hutton Row. There must be many people wjio .would far rather lie shown Mr. Shaw than Westminster Abbey, and Mrs Asquith than the Tower of London. It must lie distressing to many a visitor driving on a brake throufch the streets of London, to h 'ar the man with the megaphone shouting "That is Someraet House,.That is the Law Courts," when what he real ly wants to he told is "That is Lady Astor,” or "That is Commander Ken worthy.” Phone Cutover Is Announced % . 138 Harney Exchange Tele plumes to Be Switched to At lantic-Jackson Exchange.

At la Ft McClellan found himself east of Sandy J took, “But* I cm n't *ret Mitehel field," he said on the radio.
