AUTOMOBILE SHOW AT STATE FAIR WILL HAVE 122 EXHIBITS Cars So Grouped in Building That Every Exhibitor Will Be Visited by Public. 55,000 SQUARE FT. FOR PLEASURE CARS
With twelve more exhibitional units the Indianapolis Automobile Trade As motor exposition in the Manufacturers’ tinue throughout the week. This will of the association and it will be the big Indiana's annual exposition. A departu free night shows—Wednesday, Thursday kept open until 9:30 o'clock each night, free to visitors to the State fair. John B. Orman, manager of the show, and one of the veterans in the automobile game, has the big Manufacturers’ building blazing with the National colors. The flags are draped from the massive crossbeams and along the side columns, producing an effect that is altogether beautiful. Woven Into the flag effects are scores of electric lights, and these will help to make the scene doubly attractive. On the root’ of the Manufacturers’ building have been placed fortyeight flagstaffs, and these will carry the National banners, one for each state in the Union. A battery of reflectors has been placed In front of each of the big letters of the big sign, “Auto Show," which adorns the south facade of the Manufacturers' building. It is probable that the decorations and lighting effects for the State fair motor show never were more colorful than this year. %22 EXHIBITS AT AUTO SHOW. The 122 exhibits that have been accorded space In the show will be grouped so that every exhibitor will get a visit from the 20.000 persons who are expected to see the show daily. The passenger cars will occupy the main outer aisles and the depressed section in the center of the building. About 55.000 square feet of floor space is given over to the exclusive showing of passenger cars, commercial ears, bodies and accessories. The accessories, a# usual, will occupy the square surrounding the central esplanade. The counters, in green and tan. have been placed in position for the accessory exhibitors and they will have their wares ready when the doors open Monday morning. The passenger and commercial truck men have been moving in since last Thursday, Manager Orman arranging the schedule so that there would be ■o confusion In getting the cars through the aisles. The exhibits nearest the west, or driveway doors, will not be placed In position until some time Sunday. Those neares: the main entrance have been in for two days and are being groomed for the coming of the thousands of spectators. The comnuTcial cars will take their usual position along the walls, their long and wide bodies occupying considerable space. • TitO OI.1) TIME VICTORS SHOWN. One of the special attractions this year is to be a showing of the Marrnon Wasp, the car that won the first 500-mile race at the Indianapolis Speedway, and tne famous National “No. B,’’ the car that achieved victory wiih Joe Dawson at the wheel. Manager Orman had hoped to show the other speedway winners, but they were not available. The Monroe, which won in 1920, and the Krontcnac, this year's victor, are still engaged in the racing game and are far from home, lie also wanted to show the Duesenberg in

NEW MACHINES REQUIRE EXTRA SPECIAL CARE Auto Parts Rub at First and Need Use and Oil to Get Into Condition. This being the time of year when new cars are Just getting Into the hands of their owners, some advice on the treatment that should be accorded these new-ly-born mechanical infants is timely.. The average owner of anew car seems to think that because it is new he can treat it about as he pleases. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The new ear needs extra careful handling or its career may be blasted by Its first thousand miles of running. In such a mechanism as the modern car, with its great number of moving parts, which have.a clearance less than .005 of an inch, it is obvious that there must be considerable initial tightness of the various parts. As the mechanism continues to operate the parts rub a little and gradually become a little looser,

Pikes Peak and Its Conquerors. Scene on the auto highway where the third annual Pike’s Peak hill-climbing race will bo held on Labor Day, next Monday. This section probably Is the most difficult part of the twelvo-and-one half mile grind. In negotiating this zigzag roadway, the drivers are forced to climb a grade that rises one foot in every ten feet, skid their cars around a true “hairpin’’ turn, and immediately as'end another grade almost directly above the other and equally as steep. At this point, and the same conditions obtain for more than two miles, the race course is really a narrow shelf cut Into the side of the famous mountain, with a granite wall on one side and a dizzy chasm on the other. The insert pictures show Ot Loesebe and A1 Cline, who took first an dsecond respectively in the 1920 race, driving Lexington {Specials, equipped with the famous Anstead motor. They will competete this year in an endeavor to retain the Penrose Trophy, a solid silver cup valued ut $3,500, and the title of “Pike’s Peak Champion'’ for the Lexington Motor Company, of Connersville.
in other words, the mechanism gets down to actual working form. Under these circumstances, copious lubrication is the prime essential for the new car. Parts that are unusually tight must have the protecting film of lubricant or excessive wear will result with knocks, pounds and perhaps complete ruin. When the new car is sent to the owner, it is supposed to be completed, oiled and greased. Often a careless mechanic overlooks a grease cup or oil hole, so the first thing the new owner should do is to go over the car completely and see all lubricant receptacles are filled. The transmission and rear end should be inspected to see that they are filled Svitb gear oil. It frequently takes ten days or two weeks for the car to come from the factory. In this time the battery may lose most of its power. As soon as the car is received the battery should be tested with a hydrometer and if below charge, should be brought up. The cells should be filled with distilled water. WATCH TIRE PRESSURE. Frequently the men in the service station forget to pump up tires to their proper pressure in sending out the new car. The tire preset]re should be carefully tested and corrected If necessary. When these various little matters have been attended to, the car is ready for the road, but even now the utmost care Is essential. Remember that all the working

parts are stiff and tight. Do not try to speed up. It is difficult for the oil to Teach the working surfaces, because the clearances are less than they will be later. Limit the speed to twenty-five miles per hour for the first 1,000 miles. Do not race the engine. Do not throttle down too low on high gear. Do not try to see how far up a hill yon can- go before changing gears. If the engine smokes do not reduce the oil supply, for that smoke simply means that the lubricant is getting to the work surfaces. NEW CAB EATS GAS. The owner of anew car must expect to use more fuel than he will later because the stiffness In the moving parts consumes extra power. After the mechanism has worked into normal operation, it may be necessary to reset the carburetor. When the car has been run for a couple of weeks it should be taken to the service station and the starting and lighting system should be checked up. The charging rate may not be correct for the type of driving that the ownor does. After the new car has run for a week or ten days It ought to bo gene over thoroughly for loose parts. Nuts an.l bolts will probably need a turn with the wrench, spring clips may hare stretched. In short, a general tightening up probably will be needed. The owner of anew car will bare to

be particularly careful in using the clutch. This part will be stiff and must bo engaged slowly and gently. It must not be slipped. This advice atso applies to the gearset. Gears at first will probably not mesh easily, but they must not be Jammed In. The greatest care should be used to avoid harsh shifting. As with tho mechanism, so it is with the finish of the car; the first 1,000 miles will determine the future, Tho lustrous enamel and varnish, In which the body is finished, must have careful handling when they are new and not entirely “set.” Slight abrasions cause lasting Injuries. Tho body should be washed with cold water poured gently over tho surface, a big sponge being about as good a medium as any. WHERE SOME STOLEN CARS GO.

Wheeler, president of the Capital Trust and Savings Bank here, has Just returned from a 4,000-mile motor trip through the Northwest and Canada. He says that as the crop is marketed debts
will be liquidated and there will folloiW a revival of buying that will mean proved business in nearly all lines. “The weakest point in the Northwest situation Is the price of cattle,” said Mr, Wheeler. “Many sections have excellent crops, and In some cases these are localities which have not had good crops for the last few years years.”— 1921, by Public Ledger Company.
