It is true, undoubtedly, that the aeroplane will be taken up by a large class of sportsmen. Because we believe—and in this the Wright brothers bear us out—that the coming of the aeroplane means the creation of an entirely new field of sport; and that the motor car demand—which, as everyone knows, is simply stupendous/at the present time—wlll continue unchecked.

A good anti-freezing solution is obtained by using five pounds of hydrated calcium chloride erystals to one gallon of water. This solution will not freeze above Fahrenheit. A proportion of eight pounds to the gallon is recommended by one authority, but in most cases the weaker solution is preferable, as _there is less danger of too much water being allowed to evaporate and of trouble caused by crystals forming In the pipes and prevent- ing lation. Fresh water should be added frequently to keep the system filled. zero cireu Show Profits for Road Work. The annual show, under the auspices of the Automobile Club of Buffalo (N.

This prevents the circulating water from being maintained at as low a temperature as it otherwise would be and reduces the losses through the cylinder walls, thus increasing motor efficler NATIONAL MUSEUM OF IDEAS SKkill and Labor of Thousan flected in Patent Office Business. office is the one department of government which actually ylelds a profit—something over $30,00 for the last fiscal year, during which the fees amounted to $L87.000.

As extensive touring means travel- ing from one state to another, there nat- urally arises the demand for reasonable municipal ordinances and uniform state degislation to protect the rights not only of the motorists, but other of the highway; allled with these arises the ne- cessity for proper signboards marking the distance from place to place as weil as dangerous curves, rallroad crossings and hills, and further, proper maps and route cards. In all these the automobile has ecored victories, not always accomplished without battling against prejudice, but how readily this has ability of the motor car for various uses has been discovered and when the ow: of machines have been careful to exercise courtesy and discrimigation for ot users the rights of others.

That the industry is undergoing a read- justment of means and methods is not de- nied, and some of the builders are turn- ing their talents toward manufacturing otker lines than vehicles. But this is only relieving the tenslon of an over- crcwded market, and those who remain as manufacturers will :: a short while be in prosperous condition again, says Mctor and Horse Vehicle In his report of the Carriage Builders of North America, which recently held its enndil convention in Washington, Mr. O. B. Bannister, said that from Information In his possession, he belleved that there had been built In the United States from October 1, 1908, to October 1, 1908, not less than 1500000 spring vehicles. If this Is so. and there is no reason to doubt the accuracy of the figures, it would show an increase in manufactured goods of approxi- mately 15 per cent for the yea as com- pared with the production of 190708 It would show, however, a decrease of ap- proximately 10 per cent over the same Period in 1%5-7, when the vekicies was at its hight With the vear just increase of 15 per vear, it is not production of showing cent the previous unreasonable to trat the coming will as well show a considerabls increase in the production of vehicles.

But men who have prospered in these lines in the past have been able to keep their factories running and paid good dividends because they have taken to bullding automobile bedles, for which work thelr factories were excellently quip- ped. show 10 enormous of at weak been comy and been rer; classes, the East Overstocked. It Is true, too, that some vehic’e man- ufacturers in the extreme eastern portion of the country have been compelied to run on short time and to take up other lines than vehicles, but there is a reason for that. The eastern dealers were overstocked with work a couple of years ago, and have oniy just begun to see their heads abova the big stocks of vehicles which were unloaded upon them then. It is generally believed that more vehicles will be sold to dealers in the Atlantic coast states and nearby localities next season than during the last two or three seasons. In the middle west there has been a general tendency to enlarge the factory capacity of vehicle manufacturers, and the output of most concerns has been larger since January 1 last than ever before, Some factories In this section have been transferred Into automoble plants or to the manufacture of automoblle bodies or parts. This has given other manufacturers an opportunity to bulld and market their €00ds, and has relieved to a considerable extent the possibllities of over-production and lessened competition. It is noticeable that manufacturers of moderate priced vehicles for city and farm use, such as buggies, surreys and other pleasure vehicles, are having demands for all the work they can produce at this time, Some concerns are even now compelled to operate their plants long hours to keep up with the sales which are being made by travelers and by mall. Additions are being built to factories, disproving the oft-made assertion that the vehicle industry has gone to the dozs. Demand for Skilled Meu: One thing which 1is troubling vehicle manufacturers is the tendency of auto- mobile manufacturers to take thelr best skilled help at higher wages than they can afford to pay. Many a factory has recently lost many of their best men, lurea to the auto manuacturers by the guaran- tee of big pay, which the vehicle men could not meet without largely increasing their selling prices. This has necessitated promoting mechanics who were really not ready to take the step, and placing in sub- ordinate positions men with little training. Some prominent carriage bullders, at the recent convention of the Carriage Bullders National assoclation, asserted that they had been compelled to turn their attention to the manufacture of automobiles, or ac- cessorfes and parts, or else quit business They advised their brother manufacturers to do likewise. or no 10 BEAUTIFY AUTO SHOW Expensive Madison Square Gardem Decorations for Auditorium, CROWDED FOR EXHIBIT SPACE Management May Decide to Kepiace loor in Big Display H ——Forty Second Deniers Are to Be Represented. Automobile dealers make the of Omaha have de- coming the 2, 2, not only a the display of all the but also make it a of beauty. Clark G. Powell, who has been in the east for the last month has arranged with the promoters of the Madison Square Garden Automobile show to secure some of the splendid statuary which is to be used in New York in January for the Omaha show. The promoters of the show will spend $30,000 in decora- tions Omaha will be abie to secure the best of this at a greatly reduced cost. The Omaha show looms up bigger and bigger cach week for fhe list of dealers in Omaha is weekly growing larger and each of these will be accommodated with with space as long as there is a little room left. The show committee, consist- ing of Clark Powell and M. G. Hosford, makes dally visits to the auditorium to figure out where additional space may be secured. The question now confronting the committes is whether the additional floor which was used for the Corn show will have to be put back for the automoblie show. cided to show at Auditorium, February big show shop for latest designs in automobile to veritable bower Garden and Growth in Five Years. Five years ago there were about five dealers in Omaha and when the first show was held that was about the number of Omaha dealers to show. Now there are nearer forty dealers and all carry large stocks of cars and accessories Implement dealers are doing an immense Jobbing business in Omaha in automobiles. These large concerns have found that it is to, thejr profit to handle automoblles and besides they wefe practically forced to do so In order to hold their country connections. An instance of the wa# the automoblle business Is being pushed was shown by one of the large jobbers last week. The Racine-Sattley cimpany decided to put in & line of automoblles. Moy Coffeen, the local manager of the company, recelved his model car, a Firestone Columbus, made by the Columbus Buggy company, last week, and during the first week twenty- one cars have been jobbed ocut of the Omaha office. The automobile accessory business im Omaha has kept pace with the growth of the automoblle business. When the show closed last year the Powell Automobile company was practically the only concern engaged in the automobile accessory busi- ness. Mr. Powell did a business amount- ing to about $100,00 on the year. This year the accessory business of the four concerns doing business in Omaha has reached the enormous sum of over $1,000,- 000 and the business is considered as still in its infancy. As the automobile business increases so will the accessory and the more machines so0ld the more tires, the difference being that a machine will wear out many tires.
