I ' Smnft InterrMlng light on how rxtrnsive (fnd xpennive ara the methods Involved In decorating Madlann Hquarr Garden for the f.nth national automobile ahow, which will be held there during the week of January X to 18, shed at a recent conclave be tween W. W. Knowleg, the decorator gen eral, and the committee In charge of the .how, the committee conalKtlng of Colonel fleorgo Pope, chairman; Charles Clifton, K. P. Chalfant and Secretary Merle 1.. Down. The dlacusalon turned upon the detail of the preparatory work which I now In (progress. From the way the various Item were dealt with It seemed almost as If the committee was planning to create a permanent hall of art tnxtead of a seven jday affair In an exhibition building. It Is almost unbelievable that so much elabora tion ever would be entered upon for an exhibition of motor cars. Already car penters, sitn mnkers, woodworkers and painters aro working xealously" on the skeleton work for the decorative creations. , In seeking to produce a proper setting 1 for the motor cars, motor cycles and ac , cessorles, tho show manugers will not ; spare expense; this is made very clear by : tha fact that more than $.10,OUO are to be 'expended for the .decorations. The annual automobile show In the garden Is becoming every year more important as a social event, at which the latest fanhlons. In both cars and costumrs, are displayed, and for several years now It has been the affair for which the Harden is most handsomely decorated. White and gold are the colors that have been soUcted to predominate In' the decorative scheme next January, al though crimson and green also will be strongly in evidence. On the whole, the tenth national show, under the auspices of the Association of Licensed Autonjoblle Manufacturers, at which are shown only American cars, the output of representa tive makers, will be brighter In its general tone than any of Its predecessors. Ma Mtaff Work lard. At the show of last January the em ployment of plaster statues and other staff work was done away with to a great extent. The forthcoming show will be practically void of this rather tawdry class of ornamentation and an effect of solidity and masslveness will be produced, together with a feeling of distance, breadth and general roominess. At some former shows, the visitor entering the garden was confronted by a mammoth piece of statuary which Interrupted the view of Jthe ensemble on the floor beyond. This ' time a Roman seat, or fountain, which Is not of a height to assert Itself offensively and permits a comprehensive view of the Garden, will be constructed opposite the entranoe way to aid In the artful plan of "opening up" the Interior. The foun tain' will have a modest elegance and be in the form of a low abutment of gray stone .curving gracefully about the spaces of those exhibitors that face the entrance on the Madison avenue side. It will have a trough-like basin, and at each end, arid In the center, water from the mouths of griffins and gargoyles will spray upon the pool beneath made, iridescent by cun ningly hidden lights. The falling water also will be electrically radiant, of course. There will be big and little goldfish and natural pond lilies In the pool, and ming ling with the natural lilies' will be artificial water plants from which radiate other varicolored lights. Carved Into the front wall of the fountain will be a long settee for the visitors. Two bay trees will be seemingly growing through this seat. As winter appears to be the season In which the thouKhts of men turn to the choice of cars for the coming spring and summer, the fitness of things is met In the date set for the show. At this show Is af forded always the best opportunity to In spect the product of the representative American makers, who comprise the As sociation of Ucensed Automobile Manu facturers, and tinder whose auspices the show la held. There Is promise of many Interesting things In the 1910 models, and the exhibition will bring out some new wrinkles In construction and design which will astonish those who are aware of the progress being made toward standardisa tion. That the modern, every-day motor car, generally known as a stock car, has left the misty sone of experiment and Is now In the height of its practicability and use fulness. Is strongly emphasised by the many performances In hlll-cllmblng, tour ing, speed and racing contests for this class of car that have peppered" the auto mobile sporting calendar of the year 1H09. There will be a comprehensive display ut the Garden show of duplicate models of the stock cara that competed successfully In the various sporting eventa of the year, and some of the original cars will be shown. Thanks to the adoption of certain standards by the members of the Associa tion of Ucensed Automobile Manufacturers, the new model of a licensed maker does not have to be put through years of prep aration before It Is entered In competition with other cars. Recently there have been . victories won by certain makes of pars that had scarcely competed in previous events, and this condition of affairs Is 'thoroughly Inspiring to the public. Something new, either great or small will be found n nearly every one of the models to be exhibited, and as some ex hibitors cling to (lie old habit of keeping something up the sleeve until show time, there Is no telling what surprises may be in store. It Is certain that some of the new points of Interest will be found In axles, transmlHslons and In lubricating systems. In bodies, a type that seems to be gaining favor Is the four-passenger surrey, which Is but a tonneau without doors, built low In the back and sides, yet pro viding plenty of seating space. The cars at the Harden show will range from the costliest on the market down to the little runabout that Is cheap enough for the baker's boy almost. v The large number of. accessory exhibitors entered makes It certain that the display of the component parts and fittings that go to make tha motor car a vehicle of lux ury will be very extensive and Interesting. There will be every conceivable sort of ac cessory on view, with the newest In wear ing apparel, tne late.t In Ignition devices, aelf-startera, etc., and an endless variety in tops, tires, horns, lamps, etc. Heaver Hist let Heopea.

That the good roads Interest throughout the country Is still attracting . wide atten tion was clearly Indicated lat week In a letter received by Secretary Frederick H. Klllott of the American Automobile as socistlon from President Ralph W. Smltli of the Denver Motor club. Mr. Smith speaks very warmly of the Interest among motorists In his state in the coming Third National Oood Roads convention, which will be held at St. Louis next fall. That the far west Is determined to show Its growing Interest In the good roads move ment at that time Is Indicated by the ac tion already taken by the Denver Motor club. Mr. Smith slating that at least fifty delegates from Colorado have already con sented to attend. He has Interviewed, the Board of Public Works In Denver and rep resentatives will be present from that body. All of these men. adds Mr. Bmlth, are Interested .In the good roads move ment and It Is likely, he stated, that the entire Board of Public Works will attend, together with three of Its engineers. ELECTRICS ARE MADE CHAINLESS ew Departure Seems to Meet with Approval of I sera. The most radical departure that has oc curred In electric motor car construction for many years Is the adoption of a bevel gear shaft drive by some electric manu facturer. Nearly all the gasoline car man ufacturers have abandoned chains In favor of the bevel shaft drive on account of Its cleanliness, simplicity of construction, pro tection against dirt and absence of lost motion. The shaft drive requires no ad justment and its constant lubrication glvei practically unlimited life and reliability. The mechanical efficiency of the shaft drive heretofore In usp, however, was not equal In efficiency to the well-deslgnad chain drive, and since efficiency is of the utmost Importance In electric cars, becaus; of the limited amount of power secured on one charge. It has not heretofore seemed practical to use the shaft drive on electrics. , ( y The Baker company has used the bevel gear with perfect success on their larger type of cars, but has only succeeded after many years of experimenting In p?rfect- Ing an improved bevel gear shaft drive, which Is suitable for small cars and which at the same time excels In efficiency all other forms of ( transmission. The com pany has found from long experience that the chain drive loses Its efficiency on ac count of its imperfect lubrication, accumu lation of dust and stretching of the chain, and claims that their new bevel gear shaft drive will maintain and even lncroaBa the efficiency of the car the longer It Is operated. The bevel drive rear axle Is of the seml floatlng type of the very latest design, approved by the best engineers. To fe cure lightness and greater strength the entire rear axle housing la drawn from iheet steel. All the bearings In this axle are of the ball-bearing type of the high est quality. The axle shafts and drive shafts are made from special vanadium alloy steel, carefully heat treated. The differential Is of a special type and all gears in the rear axle housing, Includ ing the differentiating gears are made from the highest grade steel obtainable for this purpose. They have planed teeth and are hardened by a special process. The differentiating gears are mounted on a three-arm member and careful provision is made for a self-aligning movement of theke gears. The entire front axle hub Is drawn from sheet steel and the hub pressings are ac curately machined and fitted with ball bearings of the best quality. The front axle spring seats are machined from the highest grade steel and the tube Is of spe cial semi-spring temper steel with drop forged yokes attached to the tubing by electric welding process. CHILDREN WARNED OFF HIGHWAY Increase Traffic and Antomoblles Increase the Danger. In a letter sent out last week to the president of the Board of Kducati6n and the Children's Aid society, an appeal Is made by the National Highways Protective society to warn children of the danger of playing In the streets, and particularly of fooling around motor vehicles. The letter la as follows: Dear Sir: So immense has the automo bile traffic become, the danger to the chil dren of this city, due to the reckless driv ing of Irresponsible chauffeurs, Is great, as shown by the number of killed and maimed during the month of October. Will you not aend out to the several schools a "warning?" Many children attach themselves to moving vehicles. Jump off, and are run down by automobiles. They also dart out from behind plies of brick, etc., on the streets and highways, and In some cases try to see how close they can get to an automobile without being run over. u E. SEARI.KS. FORMER CHAUFFEUR 'OK PRESIDENT. DRIVING A PARTY IN KEROSENE AS FUEL. . yir, . j GOOD ADVICE IS "BUY NOW Reasons ;lven by Old Omaha Hlejrcle Maa for the General Advance la Triers Daring Latter Tart of Yrir, "Those people who have been waitlns for the price of automobiles to drop be low par have another guess coming," said W. J. Morgan. "Their stock arsument In favor of their expectation is rather old. They point to the tumble In the price cf bicycles. Bicycles In 10 to IS! cost all the way from $120 to JIM. For the last five years you could buy that fame bicy cle, or one as good as It. for about one third of the price." The low price hopefuls forget, however, that bicycles were made In the days when there were no rubber or steel trusts and brfoie the era of aeroplane prices. These days an article that has not soar.'d in price Is looked upon with more or less veneration. It Is quite possible If there were as large a demand today for bicy cles as there wns, say, ten years ago. the price would be a little stlffer than It is today for the famous two-wheeler. itecentiy rumnnngs or advance In auto mobile prices have been heard, and one manufacturer with great bravery has told the public that they must pay more, and It now looks as If the other manufacturers must cither economize In quality or cut down the size of their automobiles if they expect to !! them at a profit. There may not be a general epidemic of pricj raising, but fev. manufacturers will care to con tinue to make automobiles unless there Is a fair margin In so doing. A. writer who is noted for his economy Ih using the space of the dally newspaper has something to say about the raise In the price of one car. The lack of profit In automobile making might account for the battery of press agents that outdo the gentlemanly burglar In prying their way into the free news columns of the daily press. The one young writer referred to has this to say: Claim o Large Profit. "Contrary to the general opinion held as to the profit on automobiles. It Is a fact that the larger companies who have been making automobiles on a business basis for the last several years, do not make a larger profit than In any other standard line of manufacture. "On November 1 the Maxwell-Brtscoe Motor company announced a rise in the prices on pome of their models. To those who are Intimately connected with the automobile business, this price advance was expected and predicted. The reason for this rise Is not hard to find. "Raw material has been constantly ad vancing In price. Crude rubber, for ex ample, lias advanced tremendously dur ing the last few years, and as a result tires today cost from J30 to $'X a set more than formerly, and what is more to the point, this advance in rubber seems likely to hold for some time to come. The consumer as well as the manufacturer has felt this tire advance, but It Is more keenly felt by the latter because the tire manufacturer has In the past given au tomobile manufacturers a price somewhat lower than the user. This was natural, since the manufacturer bought in large quantities. Now, all special prices to manufacturers have been withdrawn so that an automobile company has to pay practically what the user does. Thus It Is that on. the present basis tires are cost ing the manufacturer a much higher price than the advance itself would Indicate. All Materials Advance. "But tires are not the only material that has advanced. Steels, hair, leather have all gone up. Simply because the producers of the raw material have not been able to meet the demand. The po'ley of the manufacturers has been to build automobiles In enormous quantities and sell on a low margin of profit. Never has their percentage of profit amounted to more than 15 per cent. Consequently, when the cost of raw material has ad vanced as it has, the prices on the cars must necessarily go up. "On some of their molets they, have been able to reduce the coat of manufacturing to a point which compensated for the ad vance in material, i As, for example, on the thirty-horse power, four-cylinder car, which remains at $1,500. On the smaller machines, as, for example, the twelve- horse power runabout, the price has ad vanced from 1560 to 1600, and on their four-cylinder, twenty-two-horse power run about from S&)0 to $900. . "There may be still a large profit In some automobiles, but among the large producers It can be safely said that the profit per machine Is probably lower than that obtained irt making any other class of machinery. "For example. In the stationary engine business a ten-horse power engine selling On the Council Bluffs Bridge v r :''-: ';.-..-w?-': Jf;:-'Y.-;"v ' 4,. WC ELI The CHASE at MuO pays the manufacturer 1100 profit, while It Is affirmed by the Maxwell Mriscoe Motor company that their $(100 runabout yields a profit of but 73." It would seem that the advice to "order now" your automobile, would be timely and seasonable after reading the above. DIARY OF AN UP-TO-DATE MAN Cost to Man M ao I sea Electricity In House and Drives. Some people think It costs a lot of money to be thoroughly well groomed and up-to-date, but Charles Plnkham Jones everybody knows "Pinky" Jones, the "pink of perfection" his women friends call him keeps a diary that Includes an expense account, with a glimpse of which your correspondent was favored the other day, and from It he Is able to give exact fig ures as to what It costs a bachelor who uses modern labor-saving appliances In stead of a valet, to present himself every morning at the bank the perfect pattern of a well-groomed man.

This does not take account of the cur rent used In my electric clock, but as a single kilowatt hour will keep that running for ten years, It seems safe o disregard the clock. , After this who will question the economy of electric power? The kilowatt hour is the unit of measur ing electric current charged for by the lighting company. It means the use of a thousand watts of electricity, or the equiv alent of one and one-thlrd-borsepower, for one hour. NEW POLICE PATROL AT CAPITAL Fully Equipped Machine, to Carry Twelve People, Delivered. A police patrol automobile for the police department of Washington, D. C, has re cently been delivered by the H. H. Frank lin Manufacturing company. It Is equipped with an air-cooled, elghteen-horse-puwer engine, has a blue body, with red running gear and seats ten people Inside and two outside. It has facilities for use as a temiioriry ambulance, the cushions from tha eeats falong the sides being removable and the hinged seats lifting to give lipase for stretchers and other paraphernalia, 't'ne-.o Is a medicine chest under the driver's sca and a compartment for supplies back of the seat, accessible from the inside. Tr.'re are two brass lanterns, which are Instncly detachable when needed. The body is pf strong; and light construction and the up per part is entirely encased with a meral grtllwork. The driver la protected frwn the weather by a glass front, a mackin"jh apron ajid side curtains. The motor car Is fitted with large pneu matic tires, the use of which Is in con formity with the idea of commercial car tire equipment. In their favor it is an nounced that they are more durable thi n solid rubber tires, cost less for upkeeps nd Insure easy riding, which also means longer life to the entire automobile.

PNEUMATIC TISES IN VOGUE Kxpert Declares Knrope la Going Bark to Air Cushions. Kmll Gruenfeldt. chief engineer and de signer of the Baker Motor Verlcle com pany, has Just returned from Europe, where he visited the automobile centers, and through his wide acquaintance with the leading European automobile manu facturers obtained Inside Information In re gard to the 1910 designs. "The most remarkable tendency," said Mr. Gruenfeldt, "Is toward the shaft bevel drive, and the pioneer manufacturers who have been making chain-driven cars for many years are adopting this type of drive because of Its many advantages. Panhard, Bens, De Dietrich, Mors. Flat, Berllet and others who formerly manufactured chain driven cars exclusively, are -all gradually changing to the shaft drive. For heavy trucks of either power, the chain drive is still standard on account of Its Inexpensive manufacture and simple adaptability to heavy work. '.'The European electric," said Mr. Gruen feldt, "Is only manufactured In the heavy brougham and cab models, and there is a great demand abroad for the light, easily controlled electric runabout. "The greatest objection to European elec- .ilrs Is the use of very thin plates In the jatterles, which, while they give a greater .nileage at the beginning, are so short lived that they are not practical. The series wound motor is becoming standard and all of the later models are of the single motor type with double speed rductlon and shaft drive. The "Hub" motor, built directly in the wheel, which has been so much dls cuHsed, is rapidly disappearing, due to its Inefficiency In starting and hill climbing and the frequent necessity of repairs on account of the severe direct vibration of the wheel on the road. "Solid tires and cushion tires have both been used abroad, especially for taxlcabs, but on account of the heavy vibration of the car and the loosening and breaking of vital mechanical parts, they have been practically discarded, and the late cars are equipped with pneumatio tires. Even the electric trucks and busses are being equip ped with pneumatic tires of the twin and triple type that Is, two or three Individual tires side by side on the same wheel." NEW GOTHAM-ATLANTA RECOBJ) Rapid Ran la Made Down Atlantic Coast Ronte. Fifty-nine and one-half hours Is estab lished as the average running time by automobile from Broadway to Atlanta, as shown by the recent automobile run con ducted by the New York Herald and At lanta Journal. ,The event was not a speed contest, but an endurance run. The perfect score. Franklin, a forty-two-horse-power, seven-passenger motor car, entered by W. C. Cleveland of Greenville, N. C. made the run in fifty-five hours and twenty-two minutes. A. A. A. Annual Meeting This Wek. A large delegation of prominent automo bilists from many parts of the country will be present in New York City this week to attend the annual meeting; of the Board of Directors of the American Auto mobile association, which will be held on Tuesday at the Hotel Belmont. In 'addition to the election of directors for the coming- year, reports from the chairman of the good roads, legislative, touring and con tent boards will be presented and other matters of interest In the field of national motoring discussed. On the following day, Wednesday, December 1, the new board of directors for 1910 will meet at the same place to elect officers for the coming year and make such appointments and arrange ments In the organisation of the various boards as may be considered desirable.
