AUTO REIGNS IN BIG SHOW Hundreds View Models and Enjoy Enter- tainment on Opening Night of Spring Festival; Public Enthusiastic With approximately 1 spring automobile show 500 people in attendance, Casper’s opened at the Arkeon last night and displayed in dazzling splendor a new array of well built and handsomely designed models breath away of the in cars that fairly took the persons who had not kept up with the times in the automotive world and who had not, prepared himself to gaze upon some of the most beautiful autos'in America. Automo- bile equipment was also featured, and there were many new things in this linc that attracted great attention. Throughout the show there was a great deal of clever musical talent. Tom Watkins’ orchestra was aug- tr mented by several excellent singers obtained from Denver. Great credit was reflected on the Casper Automotive association under whose auspices the show was staged. The comment of one man of experi. ence, W. B. Taylor, who has been representing the Cadillac company in Wyoming and other western states since 1912 was to the effect that Cas. per's show was the best which Mr. Taylor had ever seen»in all his 15 years’ experience with the bigger shows. ‘The interest is keen,” said the representative. “I have not seen it equaled even in Chicago. Your show “Is better thar Denver's show of this year.” At the exhibit last night there was @ great variety of makes and mod- els. Some of these will be changed each night so that the Casper pub- lic may get the advantage of a truly comprehensive show. As aryanged Monday ngzht, the Van Sant Motor company had a Hudson super-six, five passenger touring with beautiful leather up- holstering and disc wheels, The body was done in a pleasing light blue. The Van Sant company also showed a Hudson coach with cream colored body and black hood and fenders. A Marmon sedansof beautiful lines that upheld the Marmon standard for “class” completed the Van Sant exhibit. Earl C. Boyle displayed a Ford roadster and a Lincoln phaeton. The Lincoln was undoubtedly one of the finest cars on the floor last pight. This great cpen model received the appproval of more than one exactins critic. The L. D, Branson Motor company had a Buick touring and also the chassis of a Buick showing the ac- tion of the different parts of the en gine and gears. It was a treat to be able to look on and get the “inside dope” of the Buick. ‘The Wyoming Oldsmobile company had the “first and last” in the way of cars. This company displayed a 1902 model Oldsmobible and also a 1923 model. The early model was one of the first 1400 cars manufactured for commercial purposes, It has but one cylinder, is steered by a lever in stead of a steering gear, cranks from the side, and in other ways violates all the principles on which the mod- ern Olds is built. The 1 model shown last night was a golf sport model of wonderful build. It is a car that will appeal to sportsmen of all kinds. The Wyoming Oldsmobbile com- pany also displayed a Chevrolet se danette, This is ore of the latest things out‘and is a cozy and comfort- able car of moderate price. This company expects to have a stripped model”on the floor tonight it it ar rives from Denver in time. ca pert will be present to explain the various features of it in the event of its arrivavl. The Nash-Casper Motor. company showed a four-passenger phacton Peerless with Spanish gray upholster- ings and gray top and trunk to match. A four passenger Nash of maroon color and with disc wheels was also shown. The Joe Mansfield Agency display ed a beautiful Packard sedan that was a creatién of the highest art in ing. Splendid fixtures and a interior were its features. A Hupmobile sedan was shown by John M. Whisenhunt. The particular car had been purchased by Harry Yesness. Much interest surround the Hup as a moderately priced car that was really “keen.” Mr. Whisenhunt also showed a Hup touring model through the courtesy of Robert N. Ogden. The Coliseum Motor company had on exhibit a Dodge coupe that was attractive for its roominess and for its general ability to uphold the prin- ciples of the Dodge car. A Maxwell five-passenger sport touring. and a Maxwell coupe were on the floor, These belonged to the Kennedy Motor company. Both cars were handsomely designed and Were a great acquisition to the ex- hibit. ‘The Benedict Motor company show- ed an Oakland sport model of five- passenger capacity. It was maroon in color and was equipped with side windshields, The Benedict company also exhibited a Columbbia Six five passenger phaeton and a Columbia Six sedan. The Yellowstone Motor company had a five-passenger sport model Durant and a Star touring car. The Star has been receiving many suc- cesses during the past year because of its extreme low price. One of the classiest cars on the (Continued on Page Four.) pleasing Candidates on Home Stretch Of Big Votes They're on the stretch! Candidates in the Tribune's au- tomobile prize campaign have reached the turn, maneuvered themselves into position for the final go, and from now until the close of tne “first period,” 10 o'clock Monday night, will be bat- tling for supremacy under the whip and spur. LAST CHANCE FOR BIG VOTES Ton o'clock this Monday night Is positively your last chance to en- ter subscriptions and secure the maximum number of yotes on same. Never again after this time will it be possible to get the full yoto- ing power on subscriptions. This is final and fair warning! If you entertain any desire whatever of being declared winner of those splendid motor cars to be awarded Saturday night, May 5—just six weeks from tonight—do not fail to turn every available subscrip- tion to your account before the close of the “first period.” Not to do so simply means that you will have to redouble your ef forts during the remainder of the race to make up for lost ground. A few long-term — subscriptions NOW may be the very ones needed to “cinch” the big prize; they could hardly help but win one of the ma- jor awards. SPEED WILL WIN. The crucial test is now at hand. If you ever intend to do anything BIG in this race, DO 1T NOW. In- stead of being in second, third, fourth, fifth or sixth place, GET UP AT THE TOP and stay there. Now 4s the time to secure an insur- mountable reserve vote. Now is the time to make reasonably cer- tain of the prize you most desire. REMEMBER: 12,000 votes ares allowed on yearly — subscriptions this week, while next week only 9,000 votes are allowed; 36,000 votes are issued on 2-year sub- scriptions now, while during the “second period” only 26,000 votes are given. And, after the close of the “second period” there is a still further decline on the scale of votes. This period's work counts. $= RADIO COMMUNICATION WITH MINERS POSSIBLE SPRINGFIELD, Ill.—Students of, the high school conducted an ex- periment 250 feet down in a coal mine last night in which it was suc oC —Jack Lannigan, a former friend of King. who called he CHICAGO, March 22.
