Detroit, Jan: 8.-The Detroit Auto
:Dealers' association is preparing for I1
the annual automobile show which
will be held here next month in the
Overland building. The exhibit will
differ from former ones in that many'
makers are holding back their new
models so that they may show them
first at the show. In former years
it was the custom of the manufactur-
ers to bring out their new models in.
the summer and fall, and exhibit them
at the show in mid-winter. As a re-
sult, show visitors did not see any-
thing at the exhibits that they had not
already seen on the streets. This year
will be an innovation in this respect.
Surprises Promised
Mr. George Franklin, vice-president
of the association, promises a number
of surprises in the coming show. "Most
of the dealers have held back their
latest models this year, and from what
I have seen and heard I can safely
promise some pleasing surprises. The
exhibit will reveal some developments
In the matter of automobile painting
that will prove a revelation. It is.
hard to believe that any more pro-
gress could be made in this direction,
but it is a fact.
Parts and Accessories Present
"Another phase of the exhibit will
be the showing of parts and accessor-
ies. Practically all of the accessory
makers have reserved space. The de-
mand for fuel economy has been re-
sponsible for a great deal of progress
in the manufacture of carburetors,
thermostats, and other fuel-saving
and handling devices."
Washington, Jan. 8.-United States
treasury officials are seeking to dis-
courage the pra'ctice followed by many
merchants throughout the country of
offering to accept Liberty bonds of the
first and second issues at par, and in
some cases at a premium, in exchange
for merchandise. They hold that such

practice defeats the primary object of
the sale of the bonds, discouraging
the general thrift movement and in-7
creasing expenditures, thus depriving
the government of labor and material
needed for war purposes.
Bonds Are for People
"While I have no doubt that mer-
chants are actuated by patriotio mo-
tives," said Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo, in a statement given out
through the federal reserve banks, "I
am sure that they have failed to con-
sider the effect whi~ch the acceptance
of their offers have upon the situa-
tion. We are making the strongest ef-
fort to bave these government bonds
purchased for permanent investment
by the people at large, to be paid for
out of the past and future savings of
those who buy them.
Object Defeated by Exchange
"When the bonds are exchanged for
merchandise, the primary objict of
their sale is defeated, discouraging
thrift and increasing expenditure. In
addition to this, such bonds, when tak-
en in exchange for merchandise, must
in most cases be immediately-sold in
open market. This naturally tends to
depress the nmarket price of the issue
and makes it less easy to sell future
issues at the same rates."
Merchants Seem Willing
Secretary McAdoo believes that the
merchants of the country, upon a nor)
careful consideration of the subject,
will discontinue their efforts to sell
merchandise by taking Liberty bonds
in payment for it.
It is understood that many of the
merchants in Chicago and other prin-
cipal cities in the central West have
expressed a desire to follow the gov:-
ernment's suggestions in the matter,
and there is little doubt that the prac-
tice of such exchange will be discon-
inued all over the country.

Maior Ian Hay Beith, author of
"TheyFirst Hundred Thousand" and
widely known in the United States
as one of the most interesting war lec-
turers of the times is back again in
this country after an absence of sev-
eral months. He will present his new
lecture, "Carrying On," a recital of
the progress of the Great War by both
land and sea, at Hill Auditorium on
Monday, Jan. 21, under the auspices
of the Association of Collegiate Alum-
nae. The proceeds of this lecture will
be used for the boys in France.
Major Beith, who until recently was
Captain Beith, having been advanced
to the rank of major this Autumn,
wears a little knot of purple and white
ribbon which indicates that he has
been awarded 'the Military Cross for
bravery in action.
Since his return to the other side,
after a prolonged coast to coast tour
of the United States in the Spring and
early Summer, he has' made three
trips to France, coming in close con-
tact with the American troops. He has
investigated many phases of life at
the front as it has developed and par-
ticularly in its bearing upon the in-
terest of Americans. He has spent
considerable time with the British
fleet and the American ships at sea
and through the courtesy and co-
operation of the British foreign office
has obtained many new and interest-
ing pictures to illustrate his lectures.
Those who have heard Major Beith
and are familiar with -his humor, his
wealth of anecdote and the emphasis
he lays upon the human- side of the
great conflict will not be willing to
miss an opportunity to hear him
