LAST OF OCTOBER SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 18 The 1938 model motor cars which will be featured at the twenty-second annual Pacific Auto show, opening In San Francisco's civic auditorium on Octo ber 30, will more than ever appeal to the fastidious taste of the woman mo torist. This was the opinion expressed yesterday by Bill Street, vice-president of the San Francisco Motor Car Deal ers association, under whose auspices the auto show- Is staged annually. "The motor car designers and oulld- era are directing their appeal more than ever to the woman buyer," said Street yesterday. "It Is Interesting to look back over the thirty-eight year history of the automobile industry and recall the amazing advancement that has been made In this compara tively short period of time by the Automobile manufecturers, designers and builders. "During the early history of the In dustry, automobile showa were staged In New York and Chicago primarily a& a trade proposition. The manu facturers telt that only In this way could they Impress the public with the Importance of this new "gasoline buggy" and they found also that only In this way could they interest deal era in representing their merchandise In the far-flung corners of the coun try. "In the early days, dealers from all parts of the United States flocked to New York and Chicago for these an nual displays, selected the make of cars that they wanted to sell, and ' gave the factory cash or their notes for whatever cars they would desire to purchase for the next six month period. It was through this method that most of the factories received their financing in those early days. "In those days, too, the manfuac turers were primarily concerned with producing a car that would run with out breaking down, a car that would "get you there and get you home." In the years that followed the in dustry strove for a nmber of tnlngs; first, economy of operation, then pow er and speed In the motors; then comfort In riding, and finally, style In appearance. "It Is Interesting to recall that this year's auto show marks what might be termed ' the Sliver anniversary of the self-starter's universal adoption, tt was this invention that caused the turning point in the Industry and the beginning of quantity produc tion. The old hand crank models were not very popular, even with the men, and were almost impossible for wo men to operate. In this twenty-five year period the Industry has moved from a very unimportant position In American life into the first place, for today the automobile manufactur ing business Is the number one In dustry of the country. "Models that will be shown at the forthcoming auto show which will prove of exceptional Interest to the motor shopping public are those which will have automatic shifting and others which will employ vacu um operated shifts, In which the dri ver merely does the selecting of the wv nur marry tACH OTHi THE CROWNINQ ACHIEVEMENT OP STUDEBAKER The new 1938 model It the economy car of the year.

"At the auto show manufacturers will also offer in their new models many refinements and appointments as to the Interior finish of the cars While there will probably not be many radical changes in the lines of the new cars, the bodies will be fin ished in many striking colors which it 1 thought will appear to youthful tastes as well as to the feminine .buy ing public. "In addition to the complete dis plays of new model motor cars there will also be an interesting rxhlblt of trailers, and Manager George Wahl green promise that the truck and accessory displays will also have a wide appeal."

(API- Congressman Walter M. Pierce ox La Orande will discuss his position on the Bonneville dam queatton be fore a servloe club on October 38, probably answering criticism voiced here recently by w. D. B. Dodson of Portland. Comment contained In a letter re ceived from Mrs. Pierce, the con gressman's wife and secretary aald: I noticed Dodson attacked Mr. Pierce as a demagogue and 'public enemy No. 1' in bla recent speecB ai me Danes, citing the great growth of Niagara under the sys tem of letting Industries use the power. We made a study In Washington of the population at Niagara, and found that In the last 30 years it had not been equivalent to the nor mal growth of population of many eastern manufacturing towns and It nas a very unfavorable record under the monopoly aa compared with tho country across the Canadian border under public ownership. Apparently oongreas and the gov ernment feel that ha (Dodson) did not represent the right side. He says he wanted an Oregon man for ad ministrator at Bonneville. He did not name the man competent for tne tasx; that would be Interesting. I presume the power companlea hava some one whom they might put In." SALEM, Oct. 16.
