THE OREGON : SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, ,:' SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER; 19;. 1920. E TO BE BIG BOOST Great Interest Is Being Displayed . in 1921 Classic; Public to Be Surprised by Dealers. That the automotive world of Portland and the Northwest will receive Ktronp upward Impetus through the holding of the twelfth annual automobile show, at The Au ditorium the seeond week in Janu ary, was the consensus of opinion voiced at two different automotive axfoeihtion meetings held Monday night.-' The meeting: of the Automobile Deal ers' aiuiociaUon was held at a dinner in Hie Tyrolean room of the Eenson hotel and was attended by over 30 prominent dealers. Immediate action was urged toward the modification of the present law to eliminate double taxation on au tomobiles in the process of distribution, which in the viewpoint of the automobile industry is unfair to good business. Three new members, Weljer Motor Car com pany, J. II. Graham and Scripps-Booth company, were elected to the member ship of the association at the meeting, and these new members will add their display of --cars to the large display that is to be featured at the annual show. LeTtoy Field presided in the absence of President Robinson. The Automotive Equipment Manufac turers and Distributors association met in the green room of the Chamber of Commerce to allot space in the balcony i rooms of The Auditorium for the ac cessory exhibits at the 1921 "show. The space was allotted' by drawing and the meeting was attended by 25 of the lead ing accessory men. t Plans for an elab orate display of this feature of the show were discussed and much enthusiasm was displayed in makings the show a big success. There are 38 passenger car dealers in Portland who are members of the Auto mobile Dealers' association, and outr of this .38. 34 have already taken space for the display of their cars in "The Beauty Show of the Automotive World." These Si dealers represent 51 different makes of automobiles and 131 models wtfl iden tify these different makes. Two mem bers of the association have delayed making their applications for space pending readjustment in their individual organizations. It is expected the bal ance of spaces totaling 144 will be taken this week. First report were that the 50,000 square feet of floor space at The Audi torium to be utilized for the display of passenger cars- would allow for the ex hibition of 164 cars, but this was found to be in error, as the space as originally piannea allows tor only 144 cars. Every available foot of space, however, will be used. J - f The accessory men gathered for the tUotment of space in the balcony rooms if The Auditorium, where the accessory exhibits will be displayed. The space was alloted by drawing, similar to the method used 'by the automobile dealers, and he meeting was attended by over AUTOMOTV HOW FOR MOTOR TRADE if rp 1ST Unless Influenced solely by first costs, you select the make of motor truck you buy because you think it best adapted to render the service you intend to exact. . The way to come closest to a cer tainty in your choice is to limit your consideration to the very few high-grade manufactured trucks there are on the market. There are four or five such trucks, any one of which is preferable to 'all the others. We believe the MACK is the very best heavy-duty , truck that unlimited re sources and twenty-one years of manufacturing motor trucks exclusively ' have produced. - The number of satisfied owners of MACK trucks is increasing rap idly. The performance of the truck is built into it at the factory. Own ers get the benefit and that ac counts for the truck's rightful pop ularity.

Accessory Concern . Unites Departments Tinder Single Roof David Hodes, head of the David Hodes company, accessory,' parts and equip ment distributors on a large scale, noted as the "Man with a Million Parts," has mbved his place of business from 111 North Broadway to the quarters former ly occupied by Chanslor & Lyon, at Broadway and Couch streets. . One advantage the move will give Hodes is the chance to unite his new and used parts departments under one roof. For some time he has maintained a separate establishment for used parts. In the new building the street floor will house the salesrooms for new parts, while the generous cellar space will be used to store and merchandise salvaged parts. Mezzanine floor space in the new quar ters will be utilized as offices and stor age room for stocks of parts and acces sories. Hodes is remodeling the lower floor to . suit the distribution of his stocks and will probably re-decorate the salesroom as well.

One of the common troubles with alum inum pistons Is a slapping which occurs, when the engines first started and con tinues until It Is warmed up. To cure this some owners' employ a heavier oil,': but the trouble With this plan. is that the heavy lubricant is not of the body : that gives satisfactory p-epults after the engine has warmed up thoroughly, .
