SALON IN NEW YORK CITY
'rora the Automotive Daily News
To Bome of the visitors to the
salon at the Commodore in New
Yorlt the general eifect must have
been a trifle overwhelming. Such
inaRnilicenca makes the ordinary
pocketbook develop an Inferiority
complex. At that there were cars
present within the reach of rea
sonably modest means.
The little French Amilcar, a
sporty two-seater, stream lined
and wind shaviug, is having its
first American showing. SeVenty
IfYe miles per hour and . forty
miles to the gallon on the joad
are claimed for this little visitor.
For the young blood with sport
ing proclivities, this little, speedy
ragon XI ought to be the car o
his dream. One model is priced-
at $1500 delivered In New York.

Renault made Its usual showing
of handsonme jobs, with bodies by
Kellner and other famous French
bodymakers. -
'i American body builders made a
remarkable showing of the finest
class - of coach work. Brewster,
Brunn. Derham, De Causse, Diet
rich, Fisher, Fleetwood, Holbrook
Judkins, La Baron, Locke and
Willoughby all exhibited bodies
on American chassis which gave
the famous builders of Europe
something to think about-
Color was everywhere. In past
years sombre black was the prin
cipal garb ct -these i magnificent
salon cars, i This year they have
blossomed out into., every color of
the spectrum. Lincoln has made
a special effort along, this, line,
and the result'-is truly delightful.
Also there are new colors , or
rather shades, such as ring-billed
gull and purple chatterer, not to
mention oriole orange and grass

turesque touch to body nomenclature.

Thi3 run was made by H. II.

purpose of checking, personally.
the capabilities of the newly an
nounced car.
After driving at slow speeds
until past Chicago to allow the
car to be broken in properly Jir,
Lahr began setting a faster pace,
hanging up an average of appro
imately 35 miles an hour for the
last 2100 miles. This is higher
than the average speed of the
transcontinental motor car record
and was made through those
parts of the country generally
considered to be the severest test
of an automobile's ability.
Many of the car's outstanding
capabilities were forcibly brought
out during the trip. Despite the
high- speed at which it was driven
after being broken in, slightly
more than 18 miles were made
per gallon of gasoline after 500
miles were reached. Oil was
changed, regularly each 500 miles
with actual consumption estimat
ed by Mr. Lahr at not more than
a gallon. Four quarts of water
were used.
Roads were generally bad from
St. Louis until well into Arizona,
he told Hupp executives. "Heavy
rains had made them muddy or
look on. He was questioned by a
young officer as to what cars he
had passed on the roads and the
information the president - gave
was sufficient to betray the Blue
defending force. '
. After an umpire had. reminded
the president that civilians were
not supposed to divulge valuable
army .news. President Cosgrave
besought the young Red officer
to make no use of the informa
tion. With all the-affability of a
Gilbertian soldier, be consented
and put $luj president at ease.

Marking the second drive in the
company's extensive "Be Careful"
campaign, the second message in
the series being broadcasted
throughout Pacific coast states by
the Union Oil Company of Cali
fornia, was displayed at 1500
prominent locations last week.
The display will last one month.
For the subject of its second
effort, the company has taken the
tendency on the part of the driv
ers to overlook traffic rules.
"Traffic Rules Are For Your
Protection Be Careful," is the
text of the message which cap
tions the design illustrating" close
observance of "Stop" signj.
"We are highly gratified by the
results of our first broadside,
aimed at earless driving where
school children are likely to be
in the streets," iays L. P. St.
Clair, vice president of the Union,
who is directing " the campaign.
"We were advised by school prin
cipals, board "of education super
intendants and mayqrs of cities
all up and down the coast that
this cautioning message was of
great benefit.
"The. second phase of the safety
need is just as important. Traffic
rules are apt -to be considered
bothersome and theiF violation
taken as a matter of course. As
a matter of fact, the-mly hope,
not only in safe driving but of
consistent speed lies iri'the strict
observance of traffic regulations
by all drivers. Anyone who has
been caught in a traffic jam with
out an officer in attendance, or
who has been held up for hours
because folish 'motorists cut off
driving in the opposite direction
by filling up the left side of tho
road knows how important it. Is
that motorists be guided at all
times b ythe regulations laid
down." ... . '

D'Annunzio and Duse Obits
to Be. Written by Traverst
ROME Camillo Antona-Trav-
ersi. whose dramatic works were
well known in Italy a 'generation
ago, is embarking on the task of
telling the life story of Gabriele
d'Annunzio, as well as writing the
biography of Eleonora Duse, the
actress. Traversi for 35 years
has been a resident in Paris.
Of the two works, that on
d'Annunzio will bo the more dif
ficult. Traversi believes. "To
write the life of such a grea
living author is a difficult, auda
cions and perhaps courageous en
terprise." he said. "I do not know
a life more varied, more beautiful
or more romantic. My work will
be in many volumes."
The book on Duse. which Tra
Tersi already has begun, will be
called "Eleonora Duse, Her Lifq,
i Her Glory and Her Martyrdom.'
