This added attraction will be scheduled each evening wun inc insu lon show. ' It has been two years since Eugeue has had a big Indoor automobile Bhow and the event of 1023 which attracted big thror.gs each evening will bo sur passed In every way by the coming dihplay is tho prediction of local . deuiers. . .. ::wjewettsix ' .The new Jewett six now on display here rivals any other six cylinder motor cur . in polut of improvement, milking the most nearly perfect au tomobile from ovcry viewpoint of any car in itsjirico cluss, is tho cluim of the l'alge-Detrolt Motor Car, com pany made to II. J. llrlngle Auto company, local dealers. An automobile to be near the point ot perfection claimed for the . new Jewett six must be trouble free, says Harry M, Jewett, president, l't may be added that when a trouble free car is purchased the owner has possessed hiunelf of the most eco nomical form ot transportation. Tlio cry of Uio uge Is for "bigger and better" things. l'rescnt day buildings are bigger and last longer largely because they have deeper foundations. Realising this funda mental principle, engineers of the J'nlgs company in reconstructing the Jewel t six sturted at tlio bottom with a relatively greater depth of founda tion, says Mr, Jewett. The crank shaft, which probably sees moro action and has more pans of a gasolino motor dependent upon It than any other slnglo unit was given first attention. It is U0 pounds heavier than the big shaft used in t lie original Jewett. l'art of tho Increased weight is due to larger main bearings and crook pins now 2 3-8 Inches. The balance ot additional weight came through counterbalancing, accomplished by counterweights. Immediate results were seen in the Improvement as the motor became very nearly vibration less, In fact, tho company's engi neers offer to prove tho motor action itself is absolutely vibrationless. Jecontl consideration was given to the front end of the motor. Wilh perfectly machined crankcase surfaces, new benrings'could he re placed hy the roadside by any lay man, claim engineers of tho company. Connecting rods, wrist pins, pistons, oil and water pumps, generator coup lings and the cooling system came In for their share of improvement. The new pistons are light cent Iron of skelelnn design, carrying three rings. llrilraulic fcmr-wlieel brakes are of fered us optional equipment on the new Jewett six. . With the automotive industry ob serving its silver anniversary . this year comes a realization of the tre mendous development mndo in motor truck transportation the- last 25 years. Krom a feeble beginning, about 1UOO, when a few freakish looking contrivances classed ns motor trucks made their appearance,' it was not until several yeai-B later that the motor truck was given serious at tention as a transportation medium. Once, however, the truck did begin to gain a foothold, around 111 HI, its growth wns rapid and today the doughty carrier fairly swarms, over our streets and highways. Tho extent of growth is best shown by. truck production figures: Fifteen years ago, or up until ,11(10, less , thau 25,000 A "rVUnS HEAVY-DUTY ,TBJ.CKOP TODAY FlfeST , WHITE TWJCX 1 motor trucks hnl been innnufaetured by the entire industry.

Emergency Lights Easily Provided When a ground or short-circuit oc curs in the headlight wiring, the prop er procedure, of course, is to Inspect the wiring and remove tho cause. However, tho wiring on some cars Is itritiitw.nnv inaccessible, being conceal ed In chanuels formed liitrgrul with tho fenders or frame of the car, anil cannot be Inspected unless it l en tirely withdrawn. As this consumes considerable time, tho motorist o".;n cannot afford to wait. In a recent case of this kind, the mechanic made in emergency repair for a driver who linn LiMin Klmtiioil liv thn llillicn fill' driving with but one light, After In specting the bulb and its socket to mahe sure that the trouble lay in the 'iriug, he cut a lengin ot iniuiiueii wire, attached a bayonet plug to each id and connected Ihe hendlamp with 1 1m tliisli Inmn socket.

Again Milady Comes To Aid of Motorist In the days of long ago, when the ladies wore their hair "done up,", u favorite trick of the stranded motor ist was to borrow a hairpin for use as an emergency fuse. Hut sintc hairpins have become obsolete, the motorist must buy his fuses, and nat urally it would he supposed that -Milady's usefulness as an auto mechanic was at an end. Not so, howevw for the motorist Is beginning io in vade Milady's boudoir. For instance, a powder puff (tho woven kind) if moistened with a mixture or glycerine and alcohol, mnkes an excellent wiper for the windshield in wet weather. A curling. Iron would probably be the last article to appear of value to the male motorist, but if one, of the gas heated kind be procured, and the ends of the jaws be reshaped, an excellent tool will be hud for the insertion of valve pins, or for. retrieving small screws which have fallen into, places too harrow for the insertion of the hand.
