THE BROOKLYN STANDARD UNION: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1923. 0 CV OF AMERICA'S AUTOMOBILE CLUB NEW Decorate 258tH Armory For Big Motor Display 1.Y' I Work is well under way In the big armory, the 268th Field Artillery, in preparation for the twenty-fourth ''I ffly; tM "annual National Automobile Show of Jan. 5-12. It marks the largest contract for interior decoration ever awarded. piece of work of the kind ever Not only is it the most costly undertaken, but it is also the the decoration of ceiling, walls space in the world.

and 1 A i fi mem i From the amount of labor that will be necessary to fit the drill hall to the various items that enter into the decorative scheme, nearly everything connected with the task runs into III it -t I ON Tuesday a young girl came into the Moon Showroom rjj with her brother. They bought a car. They told the salesman that with their uncle they were clubbing together a million things have been designed To make th flivver smart and trim, From wheels and tops ana lamps and steps To trunks for carrying luggage In, And yet, In spite of all of them It still betrays Its origin. Why Is It that they don't devise a real effective rord disguise? There's every kind of safety plan To keep pedestrians from harm, From bumpers and the safety sone To four-wheel brakes and signal arm. And those who blunder In the way.

Are cautioned by a horn's alarm. Why doesn't someone A good way to escape now design fine? The one-man top is here to stay, Because easier to raise And numerous dlfforont types of Jacks Have lately won a lot of praise. When temper, time and work are saved, Most any kind of uplift pays. So why Is there no new derice I'o help a fellow raise the price? A man can learn to sell a car Through books and correspond- ence schools, And scores of trade academies Will drill him in the use of tools. There's even classes organized For clarifying traffic rules.

Why doesn't someone now contrive A way to tearli dumbbells to drive? There's carburetors by the score To Increase fuel effectiveness. And manifolds and thingumbobs In numbers one could never gueifs, And ail if item are guaranteed To make tun fuel consumption less. Why Is there no effective scheme To substitute for gasoline? For every n'i that's set and stubborn A wrench to turn It you can find. For easing bumps and Jolts and shocks A thousand things have been designed. And should vour car refuse to run Sufficient "pull" will change Its mind.

Why Is It that they don't Invent A way to make a Judge relent? If your Installment can't be paid There's Coubtless some way to extend It. A puncture need not trouble you. Since countless things are made to mend it. For practically every motor ill A way has been contrived to end It. Now who will cause world-wide elation By banishing depreciation? vrirht.

Half a million square feet of lum ber and wall board, nails and scren by the barrel and case, and all tho Incidental Items that enter Into nn immense constructional Job, are other! angles that cause the casual specta-; tor to wonder If the task can ever bo completed on time. But It will be, Just as every other National Automo bile Show ha been ready at the hour set for the opening. NEW ROLLIN CARS. Word hits Just been received from the executive offices of the Rollln Motors Company at Cleveland, giving full description of models, specified, tlons and prices of the new line of Hollln cant. i Unusual Interest has been centered around America's latest automobile-, due, in a large measure, to the fact that tills new product was designed by Hollln White who, for years, has been conspicuous engineering fl'- tire in the automobile Industry.

Considerable secrecy, too, lias been i wrapped about this car and, while the trade at large knew it was In the development stage for the past several years, very little oeyona inn fact was known except to those Intimately associated with its famous designer. It Is stated, by the factory officials, that the Initial dealer demand for this product approaches the great record established by Dodge Brothers when they first announced their new car. Tho new Hollln with European type, small displacement, high speed motor, 4-wheel brakes and balloon tires coines In three models: Five-passenger touring phaeton, 91'i; throe-passenger sport coupe. five-passenger sedan, 1.275. The touring car also comes with wood wheels, cord tires, 4-wheel brakes, but without de luxe equipment, $895 STYLE REVUE FEATURE AT MOTOR BOAT SHOW An Innovation will be introduced in the nineteenth annual motor boat hIiow when It opens In Grand Central Palace, Friday, Jan.

4, for a ten duy.s' run. This will be a style revue, displaying the latest modes In sports apparel, boating and bathing costumes and stylos for Palm Beach and southern winter lcsort wear. These will be displayed cn a score of the most beautiful professional mannequins, and the pageant will be one that the majority of women delight seeing. I I Ml i (' ft tickets and candy Aunt Mary buys, the money you andjw others in the family usually spend for Christmas knick-jj knacks these funds diverted into a family clubbing pool I will buy a 1924 Moon as a Christmas gift for "Mother" orj Dad that will give joy to staggering figures. Th Drelimlnary feature! of thef- work are the enclosing of the bases of the fourteen huge steel trusses that support the Immense spread of roof, this Including nlso the sections of the trusses whero tlicy run through the balcony, and the covering of the entire top of the drill shed aa part of the general scheme of decoration.

In the balcony, the pan-nelllng around the trusses will become part of the wall booths In which the overflow of accessory ex-. hlbltors will have their spaces. Each space will resemble the Interior of a handsome oliow room. The celling of tho drill shed, of course, offers the big problem of the undertaking from the angles of size and height. The roof Is 130 feet from the floor, and because of Its curvature its area Is even greater than that of the floor, which Is 600 feet In leftgth and 300 feet In width.

The immensity of the Job of covering every square foot of this, working at such a height, can hardly be appreciated. Adding to the complexities of the task Is the form of decoration that Samuel Asih. the decorator, has selected for the ceiling of the exhibition hall. Using cotton bunting he will imitate a palace cellng In the time of Louis glvirfg the Impression that plaster and panelling has been utilized. The roof has been divided Into slrty-five section, and In the centre of each will be a great plaster rosette surmounted by four nymphs.

The lighting of the drill hall during the period of the Automobile Show presents still another unusual prob. leni. due to the great amount of current that will be required, but thl.i has been satisfactorily arranged. In addition to the lighting of the Individual courts In 'vhich the cars will Iv? displayed, a multiplicity of chandeliers will be used to flood light over the entire cxu-sltlon. The lighting contract calls for 500 -000 watts of electrlo current, an amount sufficient to furnish complete Illumination for a city of 6,000 homes, both indoors and on the streets.

In any other place in the world such a Niagara of 'ipht would be blinding, but In this rase there will be Just enough to bring out the finer details of the new motor cars. The matter of floor covering sgaln brings up flguies that make the plan ning of previous motor car expositions In New York look puny In compail-son with tho display now being arranged. The linoleum required to cover the hall floor will weigh more than 00 tons, and must be placed on the more or less uneven floor so that there vlll be no exposed edges to catch unwnry feet. The linoleum will be terra cotta in color, and will 1 in 'jir- 1 1 7 i come. J3f For only $392 down we deliver one of these famous Moon Sixes, with gas, oil and water all ready to run.
