BIG AUTOSHOWWILL REVEALWONDER CARSCurtain to ‘Ring Up’

‘ for Week’s Run Mon-:jgjg day Evening.

‘SEE IT, BOOST IT’f By HARRY K. STORMONT.

With Mayor Samuel Lewis Shank

to act as generalissimo and O. B.lies, president of the Chamber ofCommerce, to be chief runner-up at

the curtain raising, the twenty-fourthsemi-annual Indianapolis AutomobileShow is scheduled to “ring up next

Monday evening for a solid week s“run at the Auto Show Pavilion at

the State Fairground.John 3. Orman, auto show impre-

sario, will direct the premiere

promptly at 8 o’clock, and the hours

.nd weeks of painstaking care andstudy devoted to this production by

the manager will begin to win itswell-earned iew aid.

The wonder cars of 1922, with the won-

der prices of 1922, now all set and stab-ilized at their new low levels, will beihe ehief pieces de resistance, of course,but the stage setting will be more glori-

ous than ever, surrounded by more bril-liant illumination and flooded with the

harmonies of a real concert band—allmuch more distinctly worth while thanever before."SEE IT; BOOST IT,"ADVICE OF FORECASTER.

That, in brief. Is a forecast of thespring auto show, but the forecaster i-- to avoid circus adjectives andmust content himself with the advice."Oo see it: boost it, because a success-ful auto show means real business ac-tivity in Indianapolis, which all of usare atxious to see.”

Lavender and gold are the color com-btnaticns for this year’s event, and thesecolors have been used with such lavish-nesa ty Ralph H. Edgerton. official dec-orator. that the interior of the big pa-

vilion is simply swathed with color.The illumination system has been doubled and specially- made chandeliers willnot cnly add to the decorative effect!but to the Ilium .nation as well.

The ohs and ahs of last year's crowdsit is declared, are apt to give way tomultiplied ejaculations of wondermentat the beauty of the scene.

But the moat interesting thing aboutthe entire show -.1 be the price tags

on the cars t-.-mselves, it is declared.The automobile dealers now assert withmuch emp. asls that never before Inthe history of the “game” have valuesbeen so great as now.

This fact, coupled with the additionalfact that the Indianapolis show comesat a time when all prices have been “setlor some weeks at their new low levels,gives rise to a confident belief thatthis exhibition is a certain harbinger ofreal business—not only in the automo-

tive world hereabouts but In businessof all lines.FAECES A>T> REFINEMENTSWORKED INTO CABS.

It Is pointed out that during the busi-ness lull engineers have succeeded inworking new refinements and new val-ues in motor cars with the reeu;t thatnever before has such an offering orsuch a display been made to the pub-lic.

Indiana now has one automobile to•■very six persons. That 1- a pretty goodindication of the interest the motor carholds for the public. It Isn’t every onewho expects to buy this spring, or everyone who wishes to huy, but there arethousands who do have this wish andthousands upon ..nousands of others wholike to keep in touch with the new de-velopments in motor cars and their ac-cessories.

Offering this year no less than onehundred fifty separate and distinct ex-hibits. tht 1922 spring automobile showfairly outdoes Itself, because never be-fore were there so many separate dis-plays.

Many persons in the past have "fluti-' iy. as they •’ tg • attended tb<* unto

w "one night" a.id let it go at that,•r they "slippi and out for an hour or so"

one afternoon. To these and their ilkgenerally be it stated that “an hour ortwo won’t do.’’ There will be more tosee this year, more thiugs of interest andmore fine points on more cars to studythan can be comprehended in an “hour ortwo.”

The real motor fan, the man who wißhesto be “in the know” easily may spendseveral afternoons or several evening'sat this show and not absorb all the newthings by any means. Too many per-sons in the past have contented them-selves with cursory glance. This year'sshow deserves more thaln that. It de-serves the once-over, the twice or tbrice-•ver, and then some.TAII'ES HIGHER,PRICES POWER.

Higher vrlnes and lower prices. Theautomobile millennium you have all beenwaiting for is now here. You have herethe chance to do your “window shopping”all in one grand bunch and then you may“obey that impulse” and get to the dot-ted line with the distinct assurance thatprices are not going to do a nose divewithin the next week, or the next fewmonths thereafter.

On the contrary, no less an authoritythan Homer C. Latbrop. president ofthe local associaton, declares there isevery Indication of price advances andin the tear future at that.

“Prices are quite apt to be readjustedupward when spring production costsare finally determined." he declares."Many of these price cuts have beenmade with the heart instead of withthe assistance of the hard-headed costaccountant. With spring volume deter-mining real instead of speculative costsmany manufacturers are going to findit necessary to tack Sioo or S2OO to theirselling prices. The whole world knowsthat there has been no real reductionsin many of the raw products enteringInto motor car construction, and thatskilled labor still commands a highprice.

“Therefore. I can say with all sincerIty, the time to buy is right now. Notnext fortnight or next month It is be-cause I believe the public now realizesthis situation that I have every faith Inthe success of the spring show.

“Bnt, I want the people of Indianap-olis to say. each one to his neighbor‘You should go to the auto show: It isa wonderful exhibition. I went lastnight and I'm going again. These fel-lows deserve our box office support evenif we don't buy their cars right off thegriddle, because they are doing a realhe-man job of trying to revive busi-ness.'

“ir we can get this word spread roundwith as much facility as a piece of gos-sip would spr -d—what a tremendoussuccess we would bare, and what a tre-mendous effect this would have on busi-ness in our good Hoosier capitol'”LATHBOPSVIEW CORRECT.

Mr. Lathrop is distinctly correct, buthe is going against the well knowntraits of human nature to ask that thegood word be spread ns rapidly as illwords would spread. If be can approxi

mate that speed and general distributionhowever, the success of the auto showis more thau certain.

If every man who has been longingfor the business revival would now seizeon this opportunity to assist in reviv-ing this line of business, I am certainhe would not regret the small admissionprice he would pay in order to be amongthose present.

A long time ago an eminent politiciandeclared, “The way to resume is to resumo" and a more modern tfise manhas declared, “The way to get businessis to get busy." Adapting these epigrams, it may then be said tiiat t!i<way to revive business is to revive I*and in Indianapolis the keynote of tlii:revival will be sounded by the auto-mobile show next week.KILTrES BANDMUSIC FEATURE.

Ref rence has been made to the musicfeature of the show. This will be pro-vided by the famous Canadian Kiltiesband, a noted concert organization. TheKilties, attired in full Scottish regimen-tals, will give afternoon and evening pro-grams. Many of these men fought forCanada with the legion of “The Laddiesof Hell” against the Germans and alto-gether they form an intersting aggrega-tion aside from their musical talent. ItIs safe to say the beauties of the show'ssettings and trappings and the real meritof the musical programs will be worthmuch more than the admission price toevery visitor.

Visitors on the opening night are prom-ised a close-up view of Capt. Eddie V.Rickenbacker, famous American flyingace, who now is in the automobile manu-facturing game. Several new featurecars will be displayed, including theRickenbacker, the Durant and the newFrontenac motor. Later in the week Itis hinted a prominent movie star will bea visitor to the show.

FINANCING OFEUROPE IS PLAN

OF FINANCIERSCorporation Organized to

Handle Problem of Re-construction.

Special to Indiana. Daily Timesand Philadelphia Public Ledger.

By NORMAN IV. BAXTER.LONDON, March 4.—Negotiations be-

tween American and European financialInterests are understood to be uinler way

to see If some way can be found out of

the peculiarities caused by the formationof the International Coropration for re-construction in Europe. The organizershave so framed the scheme as to make Itessential for United States capital to leInterested and risky for It If It doesenter.

The necessity for a share on the partof AAmerican capital, experts heer be-lieve, arises from the provision moneyloaned by the corporation shall be spentIn countries which Invest in its originalcapital. The thing that makes it hardfor American moneyed interests to putin their dollars is the British proposalthat the government guarantee tie cap-ital of the corporations. Representativesof American financial interests entertainno hope that the American Governmentwill guarranteo the capital invested andfail to seo how they can engage In aproposition where the other partlcipatnsare lndemnlfif :1 against loss, and they arenot. American business men who havekept in touch with the plan, however,consider it the first feasible one that haabeen proposed and realize that If Itshould succeed under a proviso for theexpenditure of money onily in coun-tries participating the United Stateswould fall to get its share of businessand be handieaped seriously in foriegnmarkets for a great many yeurs to come.—Copyright, 1922, by Fubllc LedgerCompany.
