A palace is the only Place for the display of the chariots for kings, and, incidentally, a lot of queens lend distinction, grace and beauty to the scene, Music and flowers add further charm to qe setting for the bu dreds of beautiful cars, Nover were so many wonderful looking cars crowded Into the space. There are eighty-nine different makes ahd there MONDAY ee Fe , WES. eye-opener for even the snapplest of salesmen, It was a “corker,” from the viewpoint of the makers and sell- ers of cars, Usually, the first after- hoon of the automobile show ts a day for chauffeurs, a sort of poor relations affair, But Saturday afternoon and night's crowds were crowds of buy- ers, rather than sightseers and sales- men. At least, that's what the sales- men said, and they ought to know. Old Barney Oldfield, the demon of drivers, was one of the first at the doors and Burney had to walt at least ten minutes doing nothing but waiting. It was the first time in his life that Barney fatled to show speed. There were a lot of old-timers, but there were also a lot of newtimers, which was more interesting. Pretty girls were there with their dads, urg- i ng Pop to buy them a car. It's re- freshing, anyhow, to reflect that the days of the dad haven't yet passed. GIRLS HAVE A NEW CHANT FOR PAPA, A long time ago the chant of the “girl” was “Papa Wouftin’t Buy Me Bow-wow," but the: cry has changed to “Papa, Won't You Buy, Me a Chu Chu Car?" It was fe- freshing, too, to observe the number of girls who knew all about cars, to watch them pop into the front seat, grub the wheel with an ecstatic gleam in their bright eyes and look over the levers and brakes and thinga-ma-Jige with the alr of eon- noinseurs, Some class to these girls. Well, the war had a lot to do with educat ing them up to ft, and mighty proud we Were of these Motor Corps girts in 10, 1921" z hk: tay fuel economy on low- ela without sacrificing ‘the | apt gd a ae car with regard and efficiency. Py A great deal of attention is being given also to lubrication—the lubri- cation of the machine, of course, without any reference to tho Volstead act—the wearing joints of the brake and control systems and the like. There is @ high pressure grease sys- tem, with a quick attachable grease gun for the purpose. Disk and wire wheels and many other special types are to be seen, But, if you want to nee everything you've got to go to the show every day and every day you'll find something new in the four floors of the Palace which are used for the automobile and automobile accessories, Henry J. Bond is a salesman of the Stutz, representing the New Jersey branch. Bond is a good name for a salesman, but the boss of the ex- hibit is William Parkinson, Will- jam of Ornnge, known to his inti- mates as Bill. Bill is all right, and next to @ car, likes golf, Funny how golf courses and cars run together. Bil} also plays rummy, but he Isn't one. On the main floor and the one just above it there are all styles of cars, coupes, sedans, limousines, runabouta, and there js one big red car that would delight the eye of Fire Chief John Kenlon. It looks like a fire car, and there's one green one remindful of Police Headquarters, Of course there's no connection between the grease gun and a gunman car. THOSE AUTO HONKERS ARE THE HORNS’ OF PLENTY. Bo sy a (HE underbrush along the bluff trembled slightly, but enough to attract the wood- man's eyes. Noiselessly the swaying bushes parted—as _viseless- ly as the unfolditig of a flower—and in the narrow opening, framed by its border of quaking leaves, there grew eyes; unmistakably, though he had never seen it before, the gaunt, gray face of the Wild Man, The Pearlbunter glanced quickly at the girl, to find her eyes still fixed on her basket, and when he looked again at the bushes, the face was gone. As his gaze searched the under- brush, a glimpse of a gray shadow | fiitted along under the cliff and dis- appeared behind the cabin. He couldn't leave her now—and yet, by what excuse could he stay? “You have a pretty place here,” he} a face—sad and vacant, with pitigal | ey Rothe.

This means that the rowing demand for the stock is now so large that every person selling the stock short must.pay $5 a day for every hundred ‘shares — borrowed against short cles. But although the Steel Corporation tonnage statement was fully as poor as expected, show- have the same car opened or closed, with all the comforts of home, while you ride. An expert told the writer that a great deal of attention is be- ing given to manitolds, whatever they are, and also to fuel heating devices and spark plug locations; to engine cooling and cylinder head designs for the purpose of obtaining ing a decrease of $37,359 tons in un- filled orders during December, the steel shares receded only fraction- ally and Crucible stubbornly refused to stay below the final price of last week. Strong spots in ithe market were International Paper, the Mercantile Martme issues and General Asp)iuit. These insues were bought in antici- pation af publication of excellent earning statements, The last named issue went to the highest price it has touched since it was Heled on the Stock Exchange. Copper shares were generally firm. Rails were quict and = irregularly lower, A notable feature of the financial professional ‘bears resumed aggres- sive operations this morning, but ex- cept In a few isolated Instances failed to make much of an impression on prices, ‘The range of values was gen- erany lower, but it was noticeable that whenever bear pressure was tomporarily lifted prices rebounded sharply, Moet pressure was exerted aguinst ihe oil stocks and Atlantic Gulf. The latter stock at one time showed a loss of nearly six points, and went down to 611-4, a new low record for tho present downward movement, In later dealings it recovered about halt its loss, The attack on the oils was induced by the announcement that the price of Pennsylvania crude oi) has been reduced for the second time within the Inst few days, To-day's cut amounted to “50 a barrel, This o course was pied as a, pretty definite indication that producers in the Mid-Continent Cela will follow the lewd of Pennsylvania producers Mexican Petroleum fell for a toss o |about three points to 15 1-2, and other leading ofl shares declined fram one to more than two points, But, as was the case in other parts of ‘the list, |eelling had. more the appearance ‘of |bear operations than real lquida tion, During the morning there was 'heavy bear selling of the stee) shares in anticipation ef a very poor ton- day was the reduction in the rate for time ‘money, secured by, mixed goilateral, to 7 per cent. This is the firet time in many months that time funds so seoured have been avaliable | at such @ low figure. [It was every- where accepted as foreshadowing an early reduction in the rate for call funds, which continued to rule at 7 per cent. In connection with the greater ease in money conditions due note was made of the fact that the new isi of Treasury certificates, announce: to-day, carry interest rates that % of 1 per cent. lower than the last issue. Rterting exchange rates continued theh: upward course to-day and rose more than 4 cents to the pound, cross- ing $3.67, During December the unfilled ton nage of the United States Steel Cor- poration decreased 873,359 tons, ac- cording to a statement issued to-day Unfilled tonnage at the close of the year totalled 8,148,359 tons, with 9,021,481 on Nov. 80 and tone at the close of 1919 DO YOU kNow? eon ihe Vrean Publlening Maite Row York Kreuine World) QUESTIONS. 1.

We might make out for a y days, but not longer, Then I went into my bedroom, where I took stock of my few jewels. There was the diamond ring my father and mother had given me on my eighteenth birthday, a brooch and a bracelet Hugh bad given me during our engagement and, most precious of all, my engagement ring.

The drillers lost their tools at 2,500 t and had what they call “a fish- job" which lasted for a couple of before the tools were recov- and they could gontinue their wor'k. Out of the $10,000 Hugh had savea $1,500 for our personal and household expenses. But, confronted as he was so much ill luck, so many un- vreseen delays, he Was obliged to draw up that reserve fund in order to mect hiv obligations, And it was when the #1500 fund was fairly ex hausted that all our creditors sud: denly descended wien us. “Li's beastly hard, Alma,” Hugh said when I told him about the grocer withdrawing our credit. “But if you can stand it a few days more—well, we'll elther be paupers or, perhaps, millionaires, In any event, I hope to she cried; and dashed the daddy! | door opel The Pearlhunter was a bard man to jar out of his habitual calm, but the sight that met him as he followed her across the doorstep struck him rigid and staring. A huge iron gri rose slowly in the shadow the late afternoon cast over the room. The light that fell in at the open door brought out the pathetic, nervous quiver of his face; the solemm via- Cancy of his pitiful cyes. It was the Wild Man. The girl ran to him and put her arms about his shoulders. He seemed not to feel her touch. Slowly and noiselessly he approached the Pearfhunter. A leaf couldn't have drifted across the floor more silently or more involuntarily.
