Taken as a whole, the automobile ex- 

 hibits at the World's Fair are one of the 

 most popular features of the immense trans- 

 portation building. Both foreign and 

 American sections show changes from early 

 models to more V shaped motor cars. The 

 front of the automobile is becoming smaller 

 and smaller while the back is expanding. 

 The present models show great progress 

 from the early type, which was merely an 

 ordinary carriage with the dashboard and 



whip removed. So complete are the new 

 cars shown at the Louisiana Purchase Ex- 

 position that the rich who go away for 

 summer vacations and recreation jaunts no 

 longer need to depend on railway trains but 

 may go in automobiles as sumptuous as 

 palace cars. The exhibit in the Transpor- 

 tation building is so arranged as to furnish 

 entertainment for those who go merely to 

 see, and practical education for those who 

 want to learn about motor cars. 



A delegation of Osage Indians from Ok- 

 lahoma recently c"lled on the President, 

 asking that the money now in the United 

 States treasury standing to their credit be 

 divided among them. When asked what 

 they needed the cash for, one of the chiefs 

 replied that they were much in need of 

 automobiles. — Exchange.
