fen the rapidity with which they are being
abolished by the State.
"Toll roads aro being diminished rap-

ho should not condemn tho system

DEALERS SEE NO CHANCE
, FOR FALL IN. GASOLINE
Heavy Decrease in Supply, Big Increase in
Automobiles and European War Are Given
as Causes for Present Situation
' Prominent gasoline denlers In this city
seem virtually united In the belief that
the prsent high prices of gasoline will
remain where It Is, with such change In
the retail price as may come about being
upon the side of Increase rather )han de
crease. It was pointed out, by one retailer, that
the logical law of supply and demand was
the basis for the present price of 22 cents
a gallon. Never before, he said, had the
demand for gasoline been so great, with
so large and steady an Increase con
stantly rising all over the world. In the
course of ordinary business procedure this
alone would have a rising effect upon the
price of any widely used article. Much
of the present high price was due to the
extraordinarily enhanced demand through
the multiplication of automobiles and all
other types of gasoline consuming en
gines throughout the United States, as
well as the great number of automo
biles In use by the warring countries of
Europe,
Jn addition to these price-Increasing
factors, there Is at the present time a
diminished ttipply. It is known that the
oil wells In Texas and Oklahoma are sup
plying not more than 35 per cent, of what
they were a year ago, and it was pointed
ou that In one Important Oklahoma Held
the production has decreased from 60 per
cent, to 70 per cent, within the last 10
months.
On the other hand, nnd despite an ad
mitted snortuge. It Is said that uify mate
rial change In the price Is a question of
speculation, since nt any time, In a hun
dred places or more, new oil production
may be developed, Constant drilling for
new fields Is proceeding at all times, and
the precedent exists for assuming that
new ttella may bo discovered before any
shortage of supply 6ver demand may be
come serious enough to cause a marked
advance In the retail gallon price.
It Is the opinion of gasoline dealers
also that there Is always a possibility that
improvements in methods of refining
crude oil will result In giving a greater
yield of gasoline per gallon of crude.
Experiments are being constantly made
In this direction, and while very little, f
anything, Is at present known of the prac
tical value of these experiments. It Is
predicted several of them have some
foundation. Many efforts liae and are
constantly being made to produce satis
factory substitutes for gasoline, but as
yet without any results of commercial
valuev While engines have been run with
some of these substitutes, little fulth Is as
ot to be placed In their capacity to take
the pUce of gasoline. Were a complete,
substitute foupd, It would necessitate a
rebuilding of certain parts In gasoline,
motors, which wpuld preclude the sub
stitute's general use by owners of auto
mobiles for an Indefinite time, Bince the
expense or maxing the required changes
would offset the question of gallon price,

Philadelphia, which In an Industrial
sense Is perhaps the most Important city
In the United States, offers, through Its
proximity to the sea, its unexcelled rail
road facilities, Its geographical position
In relation to fhe rest of the country,
and the fact that mechanics and work
men can hern obtain the maximum of
home comfort at the minimum of ex
pense has unusual advantages as a cen
tre for the automobile industry,
That this fact Is significantly true is
eldenced by (he successful establish
ment at Germantown and Allegheny ave
nues of the plant operated by the Biddle
Motor Car Company, the only concern
in Philadelphia at present manufacturing
a purely passenger automobile.
The Biddle Cornpauy, has been in exist
ence about 3Q months, during IS of which
it experimented with the Idea of its presi
dent, A. M. Marls, a Philadelphia me
chanical engineer, who was convinced
that a stock car could be built and sold
for J1S00 that would be equal in quality,
endurance, mechanical construction and
appearance to that of any foreign or
domestic car sold at double and more
than the price.

LIFE EASY AND PLEASANT
Farmers Find Car Really Cheaper
Than Horses
Automobiles hae changed the entire
mode of living for the average farmer.
Life was n humdrum existence een
under the most 'favorable conditions until
the arrival of the motorcar. Not only his
business, but his social activities have In
creased since he became an automobile
owner.
More than half the verland cars pro
duced each year are sold to persons In the
rural districts, and this Is one of the indi
cations of farmers' appreciation of
motoring.
It has been figured out that the cost
of an ordinary automobile Js really no
more than the price of a wagon, a good
pair of horses anJKhe harness. Then, too.
horses must be JB whether working or
not, -while a rnacB entails expense only

Horses, furthermore, are subjected' to

ever today nt tho loth annual automobile
show, now being held nt Convention Hall,
Broad street and Allegheny avenue. In
tel est Is gindiinlly climbing to a climax
In what nsHUiedly promises to bo one bf
the most successful shows ever held ln
this city. Tho crowds Increase dally.
Salesmen nro smiling. Phllndclphlans,
they say, wnlt every ear Until the nUto
show to select their cars. They like tho
opportunity of going quickly from ojio
car to nnothcr until they find Just what
they are looking for. Tho average per
son, they sny. Is too Impatient to spend
hours In hnggllng over what they want.
As soon as they lay eyes on a car that
takes their fancy they will buy It, if the
salesman can convince them that tho en
gine Is the most perfect made and that's
nn easy Job for any salesman.
SALES PILlNd UP
Tho sales In Now York broke records,
hut nlrcnily in Philadelphia, say man
agers, the sales records are piling up,
nnd oven tho humblest exhibitors are
hoping to howl over tho records set In
New York. Tho Packard Company, which
sold more than 100 enrs In New York
lining the show there, Is up to the
nverago In Philadelphia, and hopes by a
spurt on tho last day, when the largest
wiles me generally mnde, to Jump ahead
of Its New York mark.
Not until today was the exhibit really
settled. In the first place there Is plenty
ff heat. Tills is a welcomo contrast to
t..o condition that existed during the first
few days. The building hns thawed out,
with thn aid of the warmer weather that
hns prevailed. During tho early days,
neorlj all the Msltors, figuratively nnd
literally, got "cold feet." Salesmen ran
up and down In front of their displays to
get wnrni and welcomed the chnnce to
hop onto n chair and wave thcr arms In
exhortation whenever n small gatlnrln
halted to "have n look." Hut finally tho
stonm has been forced through the great
ii-nKui una iiuncacy ot piping necessary
to lo.ich nil the corners of the enormous
building and both salesmen nnd visitors
nio nblc to warm up to tho task of get-
; ting Interested In the cars.
NEW- CHALMERS HERE. '"v
Also, all the machines have finally been
K'ttcn Into place. The latest arrival, and
tl i last scheduled, was tho one today
when a light sky-blue Chalmers was
rolled majestically Into nlnce with 11. o
rest of tho cars in the Chalmt -a display.
With Its shiny, black upholstery It at
tracted considerable attention. It wns
placed beside nn enormous Plercc-Arrow,
which was so painfully sombre In contrast
to tho bright hues or the newcomer that
the two seeinrd to crouch and growl at
each other llko prize puppies In a do
show
Every car Is put through a dally bath
nnd currying" much the same ua some
prize nnlmal. This Is still further borne
out by the attendants thnt flutter nbout
their charges Jealously feailng that soma
will leave an alien thumb-mark on Its
sM)tless sides. As he lllcks his chamois
lovingly nbout tho car he turns his back
disdainfully oil the staring bystanders to
show the bold red letters on tho back of
his khaki coat spelling the name of the
car for which he Is "stable boy."
.MANY W'lIlE WHEELS
Most of -the cars on exhibition are
equipped with wiie wheels bo that
wooden spokes look out of style .and en
tirely uiuleslinble. Another effect that
most of tho curs show In some form or
other Is th toudster that wll. seat one
or two extra persons i" the same space
rormeily occupied by two. Most of the
new styles have a space between th'o
driver's seat and his corlder's Heat. Tho
common method is to have u et behind
which ls vlitually nothing more than a
reccBS In the other seats. The third per
son then stietches his legs or his knees
or his feet, according to the length pf
his body, through tho opening between
the front seats. There are many luter
esting inrintlons of this Idea, however.
The Ileo features' u roadster In which
the driver's sut Is set slightly forward
of u Beat v.'htch will hold two. In the
space left by the scat set back there is
room for a. folding teat which I good
for a fourth member of the party There
is a beautiful llolller done up in si arlet
which boasts of crepm-coloied leather
upholstering ou a seqt that Is Intended
to hold three. The car Is one of the
most beautiful of the roadsters. Another
handsome one la- an olive green Cadillac,
which has plgsk seats for three. The.
combination is tic. to a degree.
The Chalmers Company has a, sporty-
looking bu(T roadster, with a neat khaki
top. It will seat tlueo people, the dri
ver's seat being slightly divided off from
the broader seat for two by a slight pro
jection, PULLMAN COUPE J3 PAINTY
in the way ot coupes, or coupll what
ever the plural Is the Pullman company
has a small "boat" on display that It
claims Is the best "Job" on exhibition.
It is a small red affair with beautiful
deep upholstery of flowery cretonpe.
Every feature of the ery largest llroju-
slnes is found ln the cozy Interior, ijn
when the lights are turned on an ejaci)
latlon of pleasure neier falls to burst
from the lips of bystanders. Out aaona
man said. "If I were going to puir offme
weddln' that boat might be all right, but
whenrlt comes right down to bacon and
eggs what could ou do wth It at other
times?" This man was taken to one side
by a willing salesman and at the end pf
a half hour was noticed to be agreeing
with the excited arguments of the afore
said s-man.
To the Stut CQupe is generally con
ceded the J'brown dcrb" of the show.
The Stutz Is a white machine with,
low-lying brown "cabin," the peak ef
which is drawn down ln a. buslnesUk
