All salesrooms will bo cjeclally decorated for the occasion and some of the larger distributers will provide music and other entertainment durlngr the week. Most striking among the new Chalmers closed models is the touring, sedan for all year round use.

Following the slanting lines of the windshield, the body design Is new without being bizarre. Seating six passengers, the sedan can be changed in a few moments from a winter limousine to a summer touring car. The glass sides fold away neatly into compartments and the change can easily be made even by women passengers. The driver's seat Is of the club chair tvre. deenlv up holstered.

Next to it. but separated by an aisle, is a folding chair seat that swings out of the way when not In use. Upholstery is of heavy Bedford cloth, which comes in either black and white or buff. The Chalmers town car is 'of the type rapidly gaining popularity among city dwellers. The driving compartment Is open, allowing unobstructed view in all directions.

But the driver and footman are shielded from the elements by an emergency storm curtain. Within the enclosed compartment there axe accommodations for five. The two auxiliary seats when not la use are folded away In the compartment wall and are invis ible. Lasted with the very complete equipment of all Chalmers closed cars are two electric dome lights, clock, chophone speaKing tune, a lounging pillow, hassock and robe rail. A dainty toilette case for ladies, and a gentlemen's smoking set are placed In panels and spring for concealment at the touch of a button.

Inlaid Mahogany. Not least among the 1917 closed cars Is the more conservative seven passenger Chalmers limousine. With the exception of the more jrracefully curving body lines. slanting windshield and rich interior fur nishings, the car adheres closely to the excellent standard set by Chalmers limousines of past seasons. AH interior wood work is inlaid mahogany, which harmonizes well with the hangings selected by Lady Duff Gordon.

The Inclosed compart ment is fitted out with the luxury of a sun parlor and the equipment is complete down to the cut glass flower vase. Four color combinations are offered, including meteor blue, purple lake, coupe green or Chalmers gray. The three passenger cabriolet completes the line of closed and year round cars offered by Chalmers. As a vehicle for both business and pleasure the cabriolet type continues to reign supreme and the big sales of Chalmers cabriolets in the last thirty days reflects the immense popularity of this particular model. AH Chalmers closed cars are mounted oh the famous 3,400 R.

P. M. six thirty chassis, now In its second year of satisfactory service. The car in the first year of its life has earned the enviable record of having achieved 99.81 per cent, perfect service In the hands of owners. G1LBREATH TO MANAGE, NEW DETROIT AUTO CLUB w.

S. Gflbreath. until recently field secretary of the Pixie way Association, has been appointed manager of the new Detroit Automobile Club, an organization that will devote its entire time to the furtherance of motoring interests. The new club will have a membership made up almost exclusively of men engaged In the manufacture or sale of automobiles and will center Its attention in the furtherance of good roads, safety first, the enforcement of traffic laws and In road It will, in fact, be an automoolle business club with no social features. Mr.

Gllbreath's success In the building up of the Hoosier Motor Club, of this city, of which he was secretary prior to his as soclation with the Dixie highway interests, impelled the Detroiters to select him for the Important task of establishing their new organization. A big membership campaign is to begin in Detroit next Monday with the heads of every automobile manufacturing concern engaged in the work. 1 CRITICISE AMERICAN FIGHTERS Berlin Papers Bitter Against Men Who Joined Allies. BERLIN' (via London). September 30.

Practically all the Berlin newspapers contribute to the bitter criticism which is being made of the Americans who have joined the French army. The newi of the death In action of Flight Lieutenant Kiffen Rockwell has precipitated a storm of criticism. The Post says that the presence of Rockwell and others in enemy camps can not be regarded as the acts of individuals. but declares that America sends its own citizens to European theaters of war to fight Germany. The paper says that "the Rockwell incident shows "to what a depth regard for neutrality has sunk among our enemies and in America.

Such an unheard of conception of neutrality deserves to be labeled in the plainest way and not to be forgotten." The Tagliche Rundschau speaks of the concepts of neutrality as entirely lost. and the Kreus Zeitung, Germ an la. and Boersen Zeitung print similar statements. The latter paper prints its comment in Its largest bold face type. Still another is now added to the ranks of the big automobile companies.

With scarcely a year and a half passed aince the "Dolly Madison" was sprung on the automobile world, the demand for the Madison car haa grown to such proportions as makes necessary a big Jump in production, and' announcement comes today of the formation of a Madison Motors Corporation, which will absorb the first company, taking over its factories at Anderson. On Decoration day. 1915. "Dolly Madison's Coming Out Party" introduced this latest design to the public Since that ime the Madison' car. Improved and refined, has become Increasingly popular, and with performances of the past in mind It may be considered aafe to predict what will happen in the future; that witn tne new capital Cecil Gibson nas interested and the big plans that are In contemplation the Madison will become as familiar a name to the automobile buying public as every other car he has ever handled.

The new corporation starts business under the most favorable auspices. Associated with Mr. Gibson are many of the men with whom he nas formerly worked, and in addition artrong men of influence and ability from other lines have been interested and will serve the new company on its board of directors. Notable amon these are IX Edinburg, general manager of the American Maize Products Company, of New Tork city: W. K.

Wlck ham, president of the Wickham Coal Com pany, of St. Louis. and of the Wick ham Burton Coal Company, of Chicago; Paul P. Haynes, well known attorney of Anderson, O. S.

Barber, formerly of Indianapolis and long associated with Mr. Gibson in his enterprises, and H. M. Caldwell, of Evanston. capitalist and corporation attorney, who is, it is said, largely responsible for the new capital which goes into the business.

The Super Fix used was a seven passenger touring car and carried at all times three, and sometimes four pass eager a.

Previous one way. records were established with roadster and stripped modela On the return trip the car was one and one half hours ahead of its going schedule up to within 23d miles of the finish. On account of heavy rains in crossing the Sierra Nevada mountains fifteen hours more time was required to cover that leg than, was taken in the going trip. The average speed going and coming, including all stops and slowing down to speed requirements of more than cities, towns and villages passed through each way, was close to 700 miles a day.

A. U. Pat terson and ChaTiea "Vincent, by making train jumps, piloted the car in Its round trip across the continent. W. F.

Sturm, of this city, was the official observer. The company haa maintained all along that the Huper six. because of the absence of vibration, had more endurance than was possible with any. other type of car. and this trip was made to demonstrate the fact.
