SIO,OOO. Four makes of trucks also will be exhibited. One commercial bodymaker will exhibit his product. Every conceivable accessory known to the automobile trade will be found. Dance Saturday The unobserving novice will miss the keynote of the display, experts say, unless he studies each display with the idea of discovering the growing tendency among manufacturers to build cars adaptable to all-season driving. The automobile association is preparing for the largest attendance ever viewing an Indianapolis automobile show, according to John Orman, manager. The show will close Saturday at 9 a, m. Beginning at that time will occur the annual fun and frolic night. There will be dancing and a carnival to round up what Is predicted by Its supporters to be the greatest automobile show ever held In this city, second only to the shows of New York and Chicago. Electr'.; Clocker Among the rewest features of the 1928 equipment of passenger automobiles is the adoption of the electric clock, a device that is operated by the current of the storage battery. These clocks take so little current as to hardly register on the ammeter. They are also accurate, and are not affected by vibration or weather conditions. Keeping ’Em Straight For operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated in New York, the penalty is a fine up to SSOO, imprisonment up to one year, or both. A car owner employing an intemperate driver may be fined $5 for each day of such em ployment. i Rubber-Covered Pedals To prevent the foot from slipping cff the clutch or brake pedal, which usually becomes smooth through long wear, cut a piece of rubber from an old tire, the size and shape of the pedal, and have it bolted to the surface of the metal. Simplification of Signals Traffic police in Washington, D. C., are to be drilled to standardize their gestures, so that they will be intelligible to motorists.

OLD KING TUT GIVES IDEA FOR MILADY’S MOTOR GARB

By VIRGINIA REYER THERE’S no getting around it, King Tut’s influence is going to be felt at the Indianapolis Auto Show. I don’t moan they're putting gold wheels on the gasoline wagons or Egyptian mummies are to be used as radiator caps. Fashion has decreed that the styles for women to wear to the Auto Show are bright Oriental colors and Egyptian designs. The owner of an exclusive gown designing establishment and the foreign buyer of the dress department of a downtown store verified each ether’s opinions. “Indianapolis women,” said the latter, “will wear sport clothes to the auto show. By that I don’t mean homespun suits or knickers, but the snappy, eye-taking costumes one might see on the boardtvalk at Atlantic City." OUI Solomon’s Glory Not only will Milady wear this garb to the show but after she. has picked out her favorite car she will wear the garments while driving it. And Solomon in all his glory will not be arrayed like Madam when she sweeps around the Circle in her sport car and her latest King Tut sport creation. Do you remember the old linen dusters with their puff sleeves and the automobile bonnets with flowing veils that women used to wear for motoring? Well, those days have gone for ever! In the early days of the industry,

the automobile designers had not found out how to build a car so that the dust would not w'hlrl In from the back as well as In front It was necessary to cover the mouth and nose of the occupants with veiling. Special silks were advertised as dust-proof. Feminine autolsts rode swathed in fold on fold of veiling. Now a veil merely is a concession to fashion, not an absolute necessity. What would our ancestors have said If one of their number had appeared In the khaki knickers and pongee blouses that women find comfortable for long motor trips today? And, what if one of them had found, as several of us have, that the best way to keep one’s hair up and the -un out of one’s eyes is to wear a man’s cap. Motoring clothes today are built for comfort and long endurance for which there was no demand ten years ago. There are smart three-piece outt with Norfolk jacket, knickers and skirt for trips. Thus if you plan to camp out for the night or go to the hotel you will be equally presentable. For those who like some frills even while motoring there are "harem veils.” ’They cover the chin, mouth and nose, but not the eyes, and have a very fetching air. Turbans are the popular head covering for women motorists. They are hmall and tight and do not catch the wind. > Gauntlet g!ove, a miniature of the old riding Iglove, in several shade* of leather, embroidered or fringed, are favorites wltlf women who drive their own cars. - One of the most popular fads is to own one or more costume matching the color of the car so we will prob-

Radio News for Motorists The condition of highways in Massachusetts and bordering States is broadcast by radio every Saturday evening at 6:30 o’clock by the Automobile Legal Association. This service gives motorists up-to-the-minute Information on the condition of trunk line highways. Ingenious Insulation Rubber garden hose makes an ideal protection for ignition cables. Cut off a piece of rubber hose to the correct length, and run the wires through It and out the holes cut In the sides to conform with the location of the spark plugs. Cleaning Dirty Pipes A plugged gasoline or oil pipe can be cleaned out by using the tire pump. A quick, sharp stroke of the pump will force air Into the disconnected pipe at considerable pressure and, If not too tightly plugged, will blow it clear. If this fails, of course a wire must be used. Baby Motor Cars Even baby may go motoring. The recent London show had on display a motor-driven baby carriage. It la operated by the nurse ,who stands on a platform at the rear. Comparative Registration Switzerland has 30,654 motor vehicles, or approximately 145 fewer than the State of Wyoming.
