SUM WISES ll!S BEST WISHES FOR •AUTOMOBILE SHOW ‘l’m for Them All,' Says Mayor in Greeting Sent to Times. Mayor Shank wired The Times from the South today his greetings to the Indianapolis Automobile Trade Association: "Although I can not be in Indianapolis for the opening of the Automobile Show Monday, I will be wishing for its success from afar. "I am a great believer in these big expositions. They are a fine thing for the city. They r.ot only show to the populace and the world at large the progress we are making, but they also seem to me to be like great community parties, where everybody goes, has a good time and gets some useful knowledge, too. "An automobile show anywhere, always advertises Indianapolis, because so many fine cars are made here. “But an automobile show in Indianapolis is peculiarly fitting. It is just like a home town industrial exposition. "That is not to say that we’re not just as proud of the keen business men who are local distributors of 5% - made outside of Indianapolis. Crho will exhibit at the automobile show. “I'm for them all. May the week be a complete success, from the standpoint of sales, prospects, social enjoyment and the upbuilding of the community spirit.” PICKFORDNOTTO DO THETAS MOVIE Our Mary Will Appear in ‘Rosita' Cast. By JAMES W. DEAN NEW YORK, March 3.—Mary Pickford has abandoned the filming of "Faust,” although Ernest Lubitsch wras engaged as director and preparations w r ere in full swing. Definite reason isn’t given, but from one source I learn that exhibitors said they didn’t want it. If that is so, there seems to be little meaning to the declaration of principles sigrnd by Mary the other day. The declaration read, In part, as follows: "We, the undersigned, already united in spirit by a definite constructive purpose and an earnest desire to let nothing defeat the fuflllrnent of this purpose, possessing unfaith in the splendid future of |£pe motion picture industry, provided no sinister, influence creeps into corrode or poison it, and recognizing without arrogance our own power to determine what the destiny of this new art of the screen shall be, do herewith pledge ourselves tc an even closer fraternity of mutual confidence and endeavor.” * And more, "while we make on pretension that we are the sole custodians of the welfare of the industry, We may. with concerted action and a united front, prevent any influence or chain of influences from deflecting us from our avowed purpose, so that this new art may march tc Its high destiny without the dictation of commercial interests or any consideration whatever save that of our own ideals to which we stand dedicated.” It sounds pretty, like the preamble to a high school frat constitution, but what does it mean? For what is it. a smoke screen? Fairbanks anil Chaplin Also Sign Contract Other signers of the compact are reported as Douglas Fairbnr.Kß Charlie Chaplin. Charles Ray, Hai~,/d Lloyd, Norma and Constance Talmadge. First news of this alliance stated that It was for the purpose of opposing the present trend to cheaper production which would result in lower admissions to theaters. If that is so, their action is unseemly. All reached their present stations of wealth and Influ- 1 ence through movl made so cheaply that one could see them for 10 or 15 cents.

POLISH BUSINESS KEEPS PACE WITH AUTO EXPANSION International Company Sends Product to Every Land on Face of Globe. In 1904 two young men started in a small factory at LeLean and CapitoJ Ayes, a business which today carries with it many products the name of Indianapolis to all parts of the world. These men. R. A. Blackburn and Eugene Blackburn, long ago outgrow the storeroom of the days of “old Dobbin.” when they were engaged in making silver and metal polishes that housewives still swear by. Now. this business, the International Metal Polish Company, occupies a factory of 50.000 square feet at Belt Railroad and Quill St., manufacturers some twenty-five products, maintains a New York sales office and exports to every land. “Our growth has been gradual,” Eu geue Blackburn, president, says. “With the coming of the automobile, people who used our .silver and metal polishes commenced demanding auto body polishes, and we started manufacture to meet this demand. • “Our expansion has been natural, simply following the reputation we had built, and meeting new demands as the automobile business grew. Now Blue Ribbon polishes and products are sent to every land. We are one of the few firms in Indianapolis who have a Spanish correspondent, handling South American trade especi ally." The International display at the show wijl feature anew line of automobile paints prepared for use by the car owner or in auto paint shops. Eleven basic colors are used. RICKENBACKER TO BE DINNER GUEST Joe Wilmoth, president of the J. G. Wilmoth Company, has received acceptance from E. V.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
MOST AUTO FIRES ARE TRACED TO SHORT IN CIRCUIT
“About 90 per cent of fires which damage or destroy automobiles, with the exception of the cars which burn in garages, are caused by a short circuit in the electrical system. The remaining 10 per cent of fires results from backfiring in the carburetor.” K. It. Espey, chief adjustor for the Aetna Insurance Company, TOT Traction Terminal building, make3 comment. “In all my experience as an adjustor I never knew of but one or two cars that burned because of friction, as the parts subject to friction, such as the brakes, are protected by asbestos linings ana the moving parts of the motor are run in oil.” Quite a number of cars and

Wilmoth stated recently that the piati for a dinner to owners has been received enthusiastically by officials of the Rickenbacker Company, and he predicts that It will prove a countrywide event, and likely made a custom each year. The coming of Rickenbacker to In ' dianapolis has a special significance, for in this “cradle of race*” he spent much of his,ear!y career.

Contrary to the belief of many, the quality of the gasoline seldom has anything to dc with the carburetor backfiring, as this is a matter of adjustment, Espey says. Failure of many persons to ad just the carburetors of their cars in the first cold snap of the winter often Jesuits in much backfiring. which is always dangerous and likely to cause a blaze. Espey adds.

MARION HARRIS The question: "When will Marion Harris be at Keith’s?” Can answer that little question right now. Miss Harris will headline the bill at Keith’s the week of March 12, Manager Eggleston announced today. as a personal triumph for the popular star. The story with which almost every one is familiar, concerns the Earl of Huntingdon, favorite of King Richard the Lion-Hearted, who incurs the enmity of the King’s cousin, Prince John, when he defeats the Prince's best friend in a tournament. Huntingdon leaves on a Crusade to the Holy Lands with King Richard, after having won Lady Marian Fitzwalter’s promise to marry him upon his return. In King Richard’s absence, Prince John attempts to wrest the throne from him, and England has a
INTERPRETING an utterly new vogue in design and adornment achieving standards of performance and proficiency so advanced that they reach far into the future for comparisons—the new Stutz Six adds lustre to the brilliant record of its builders, the Stutz Motor Car Company of America, Inc. The same organization that thrilled motordom with its “car that made good in a day,” and won the plaudits of every motoring enthusiast by world-famed accomplishments attains new fame with its latest contribution—the new Stutz Six, the most pronounced value in the field of quality sixes. Combining the charm of masterly craftsmanship with the rare fascination of thoroughbred ability, the Stutz Six possesses surpassing appeal, while its price—the lowest at which a Stutz has ever sold—places it within the range of hundreds who long have fostered the desire for Stutz ownership but until now have found it impossible to gratify their unmistakable preference for the Stutz.
sorry time as a result of the cruelties and injustices of his reign. Through Lady Marian, Huntingdon hears of these things, and tries to persuade Richard to allow' him to return to England, without telling him the real reason, and Richard refuses to allow him to go, whereupon Huntingdon deserts the band and joins a company o? men who are revolting against Prince John's tyranny. To these men, Huntingdon is known only as Robin Hood, and he assumes the leadership of the band. After many adventures they defeat Prince John and restore the throne to Richard, winning as his reward the fair Marian. Enid Bennett is seen as Lady Marian, and others in the east are Wallace Beery, Paul Dickey and Sam De Grasse. Owing to the length of the feature, all short subjects will be eliminated.
