DUNLOP (Stand No. 197). Somewhere about thirty years ago, the Pneumatic Tyre Company of the period, the first of all tyre companies, had to use double-page advertisements to try to con- vince cyclists, to whom alone the appeal was made, that the pneumatic was really a revolutionary production—one destined to file down the inequalities of the high- way, and lead them to a cycling paradise which adherents of solid tyres averred did not exist, could not exist, and consequent- ly it was sheer madness to endeavour to reach it. John Boyd Dunlop, the inven- tor; the late Harvey du Cros, the far-see- ing man; R. J. Mccredy, editor and ex- pert raoer; A. J. Wilson, journalist and speed merchant on two, three or four wheels, thought differently, and they had good reason so to do, for as fast as the original pneumatic could be manufactured, so the cycling world was converted to the use of the air tyre. More, a new, bigger and better cycling world was created, and though it knew it not, was the forerunner of wonders that have followed. Yester- day it was considered a marvel to .fit pneumatic tyres to passenger motor cars; to-morrow will see them on motor 'buses and heavy commercial vehicles. From the start in a little workshop in Dublin down to the creation of the huge factories at Port Dunlop, the direct descendants of the original company have constantly pro- gressed through all the ascending grades of pneumatic tramport-bieycle, tricycle, jaunting car, carriage, to the countless types of to-day's power-propelled vehicles The Dunlop pneumatic tyre of to-day will be conspicuous on Stand 197. Tyres will, of course, predominate—plain, groov- ed, and stool-studded—supported by a mul- titude of accessories whoso value is cer- tiiied by the Dunlop stamp. Dunlop's do a considerable trade in the manufacture of wheels, chiefly at Coventry, where a sub- sidiary company operates, and the prin- cipal make is the famous detachable wire wheel, now a standard fitting to the lead- ing group of cars. Other patterns are Dunlop bolt detachable artillery pressed, steM wheel.Dunlop bolt detachable artillery wood wheel, and Dunlop fixed type ar- tillery wood wheel. Visitors will be given a peep at "The Dunlop Book," admitted- ly the best and most 'sumptuous guide to the British Isles ever issued.

ARROL-JOhNSTON (Stand No. 48). On Stand 48 will be seen what connois- seurs in the refinements of auto design will probably consider the masterpiece of Brit- ish production upon the three-fold criter- ion of high mechanical efficiency, beauty of lino and wholeness of conception that S,) greatly assist that result, and the light weight which, above all things, represents the final practical of aiitb economics for the average motorist. This is the "12-8, or "Viotory" four- cylinder model. It happened to be the first auto project of the "Peace" year to take shape; and as it is by no means in- troduced in a season of mediocre and old- fashioned designs, as claimed, its distinc- tive quality, and the advance it represents, are ail the more remarkabl0. Remarkable enough in its way, too, is the larger 15-9 model, in which the four- cylinder motor—30 mm. bore by 120 mm. stroke—is no longer cast monobloc to the- accompaniment of a radiator behind, a.s in the 1914 pattern, but is ca.st in pairs, with the radiator of special Arrol-Johnston pat- tern m tlio conventional position in front, although thermo syphon cooling is em- ployed. as before. The valves arc not over- hood, as in the "Victory" motor, but on the off-side, the cam shaft, lighting dyn- amo, starting motor and magneto being driven by silent chain in the conventional way. A three-plate clutch instead of a cone clutch is fitted, but motor and gear- box are rigidly bedded in line, in the same way as in the rear axle make-up is modi- fied, too. from "Victory" chassis, Torque- tuoo and cantilever springs, full ellinties are fitted, and the rolling tendency which is one of the few defects of that type, is prevented by the well-known Arrol-John- ston parallel motive connection from one spring to the other, by way of the axle housing. As in the "Victory" model, too, the brakes are of extra size, and easily adjustable, in their 15in diameter drums. This model is also shown with a handsome four-seater body, painted in the sta/hdard colour, and. needless to say, fitted with a full range of dashboard instruments, as well as the "one man" hood.

C.A.V. Stand No. 262). Messrs C. A. V. Vandervell and Co., Ltd., the well-known engineers of Warple otoay" Art0"' are exhibiting on Stand No. 35- uonip o.e ranges of lighting and starting sets of ail types of cars, including the new O-volt light car installation, which incor- porates the new C.A.V. 6-volt. starter and a special "light car" switchboard. A new lamp hu.s been envoived for this-particular set known as the "Combined Model," which is used in conjunction with a dim- mer switch, and can be utilised either a.s a head or side lamp, thus doing away* with the necessity for a separate pair of side lamps on small cars. Another new fea- ture will be the combined ignition, light- ing and starting sets, one of which is applicable to six-cylinder and the other to four-cylinder cars. A very comprehensive ru ugrc of batteries for all purposes, as well as a full range of "American replace- ment models, will be exhibited* and all the compniionts of the starting and light- ing system, such a.s lamps, dvnamos, switoaboards. Mc-< wil1 be shown separate- ly. thus allowing a better inspection than when fitted to the show boards. The dv- na.mos of all types will be run at widely varying speeds driven by electric motors in exactly the same way as in actual use and the relative outputs" should prove in- teresting^ Ap.irt from the actual lighting and starting propositions, a large assort- ment of interior fittings. suoh as roof fights, corner fights, electric horns and in fact, everything electnoaj which can possibly be required for motoring, will be on view, and there is no doubt that the 0 groa,t interest to all lsitors to tlie show.

SPEEDY CAR. One of the most interesting fittle cars not on exhibition is the 8-h.p. two-sea,ter Speedy. This little vehicle is rcailfy a combination of a motor-cycle and side- car in one. 1:.1 appearance at is a minia- ture motor-car of the racy type, with wind screen, rake steering, stream Jine body and thoroughly up to date. Of course, it does not claim to be in the car-de-luxe class, but among cyde-cars it can certainly hold its own with the rest, and discount anything at the price, 110 guineas. Unfortunately, the I'ullinc-er Engineering Co., Ltd., had not been organised when the spaces at Olympia, were being allotted, and could not there- fore make application. Owing to this fact the Speedy will not be seen under the roof of Olympia, but arrangements have been made for private demonstra- tions upon application to the PuiWer Engineering Co., CHtspur Chambers Holborn Viaduct, E.C.I.

THE FORD SERVICE. Though, according to "Fording," the Ford oar will not be exhibited at Olympia Ford agents will be thre in strength. The principal North Wales agents. Meesrs A. E. Deacon and Son, of Llandudno, and Messrs Braid Bros., of Colwyn Bay and Bangor, who are the Ford service agents for Carnarvonshire, Anglesey, and the principal par of Denbighshire, will all be in attendance at the show, and will be pleased to give expert advice on the purchase of the new cars.

BELSIZE (Stand No. 42). An interesting model of sterling British construction, if somewhat undistinguished from the current contentions as to much of its design, will be seen on Stand No. 42 in the shape of the new 20-h.p. four- cylinder Belsizo. Of the ohangos since the pre-war model, the most notable is the unification of motor clutch and gear box, but this has been done in such a manner as to enable any of the three components to be unshipped individually on the rare occasions when overhaul is necessary, thus saving time and garage bills. With uni- fication of this kind, however, many mis- takes can be made; but the chief one, complicating and straining the transmis- sion with a brake, has been avoided by rfaein both sets of brakes?—with one more to the good, as an extra safety assurance—in the rear hub. The bevel 1 drive roar axle is now fully floated, and I the new'y modelled radia-tor is much mere handsome as well as holding more water than the former pattern. The motor—a Belsi«? production en- ti My has a bore and stroke of 90 mm. by 110 mm., and in general is a mono- hlOc of the Franco-Italian type with transverse induction through the bloc, from a Zemth carburettor attached direct to the off of blank side. Cooiling is by Thermos syphon with an impeller pump housed in the water jacket and earned on the fan spindle in a most approved man- ner; this being well proved to bo the most reliable form of Thermos syphon. Springs are good, stout, semi-elliptic fore and aft; the carburetter is fed from the tank; the motor lubrication is forced feed, and splash combination, and the clutch is of the plain cone type The gear box has four speeds, from a usefully low 12 to 1 ratio up to 3k to 1 on top direct; and a good point about it is that, though it carries its own control gear independent of the frame, these contro's arc right- handed and not direct overhead. Acces- sories, such as a dynomotor unit for light- ing and starting located behind and in- wardly of the steering bloc, and; a gener. ous array of dashboard fittings. Apart from the mount of the standard body shown, the new Bels;ze is a significantly honest priced proposition at £ 450 for the chassis.

R.A.C. AND BENZOL. In view of the present high price of petrol and the general tendency to experi- ment with alternative fuels, motorists will be glad to know that the Royal Auto- mobile Club is taking an active part in. the development of benzol. At tiie Motor Show the R.A.C. placed a portion of their stand (No. 8a) at the disposal of the Na tional Benzol Association, one of whose chemists will be in attendance to advise motorists, members of the motor trade, and others interested aM to the immediate and future possibilities of the new fuel.

COMPLETION OF BENZOL 1 TEST. On W ednesday" afternoon a Sunbeam touring car, clowely followed by a 4 h.p. chain-driven Triumph motor-cycle, puli-ed up outside the offices of the A.A. and M.U., after completing a long tour organ- ised by the A.A. as a te-st of the efficiency of national benzol a-s motor fuel. it started oil Aug"u,st 28th, and completed a 10,000 mile run over mCI,t of trie main roads in the country. The Triumph, with a sidecar attached, left the A.A. offices on September 11th, and has covered 5000 miles without serious trouble. Tiie engines cf the two machines will be. thoroughly examined by A.A. experts, and it is hoped in a. few days to issue a full report, which may finally settle die ques- tion as to whether benzol is or is not a reliable substitute for petrol.

EXHIBITION PARS. The Wolscley Motor Co., of Birming- ham, have increased their capital to ;ez,ooo,o.oo, and have erected a new factory, covering 100 acres. Special machinery for mass production of three models—a fight car, a 15 h.p. touring car, and a 6-cyiindcr car-has been installed—and it is hoped tc turn out cars at the rate of 20,000 a year. It would lie well (says Mr H. Massac Buist in the Morning Post) for the average I co\ purchaser when selecting a car to discover what are the local facilities for having the services of specialists concerning that particular make of vehicle always at hand to eiffeet little adjustments. Of course, where an expert mechanic is exclusively employed by the owner he may choose any car on the market, judging merely by the quality of its performance in the finest fettle. But every buyer of a motor vehi- cle, whether used or new, should be par- ticularly careful to satisfy himself that the builders will be in a position to give prompt delivery of spare parts for the given machine during its useful life. In many cases this will necessitate going into the bona fides of the manufacturer very much more closely than has been deemed sufficient in the past.

"GUARD" FOR THE SIIAH. SELF-APPOINTED SENTRY AT A THEATRE. An unrehearsed incident marked the visit of the Shah of Persia to "Cliu Chin Chow" at His Majesty's Theatre on Wed- nesday night. Shortly before the Shah's arrival a private soldier in full marching order sauntered up to the theatre. 'He was told by one of the croHvd about the im- pending royal visit. Expressing astonishment that there was no guard of honour, he "sloped" his rifle and marched up and down a "beat" in front of the theatre in the best regimentaJ style. Presently the Shah arrived. The sen- try" halted and gave a smart present, which tlie Shah gravely returned. Ex-^oldiers in the crowd became curious as to how the solo guard would dismiss itself. This problem was solved by a policeman, who conducted the man to Vine-street Police Station, where he was detained pending inquiries.

RAILWAYMEN DETERMINED TO BE RAILWAY DIRECTORS. Some thousands of railwaymen attended a demonstration at the Guildhall, Cam bridge, on Sunday, to hear an address from Mr J. H. Thomas, M.P., who told them that there had been submitted to the Government some bold proposals for the workers' partnership in industry, and that, over and above that they wanted to bo railway directors, and would be.

WORLD'S BIGGEST FILM STUDIOS. TO BE ERECTED NEAR LONDON. The plans for building the biggest cinema studios in the world on the out- skirts of London have, it is stated, now be-en completed, and when built tney will be the headquarters for the making of films by the. Alliance Film Corporation— the new one million pound British com- pany. To prepare the foundations, 4000 cartloads of earth will have to be removed and 400 tons bricks, 190,000 slater, 60,000 super feet of slab used in constructing the shell of the building, in addition to nearly a million cement and 10,000 super feet of concrete glass, and 210 tons of steel. "The main floor of the studio will be 200ft. by 150ft., and so constructed that no supporting pillars will have to be used which might obstruct the vision. In the, centre of the floor a huge sunken pool, 100ft. by 50ft., and 6ft. deep, will be ar- ranged, this portion of the floor being sup- ported on trestles. This sunken stage can be flooded witfl water in four separate sec- tions or used for constructing the more elaborate studios for super-films, such as grand staircases. Tho:) lighting arrangements will far sur- pass anything before seen in this country. Overhead will be arranged a series of huge banks of the latest Cooper Hewitt's Mer- cury Vapour Lamps. In addition, the latest system of floor lighting will be in- stalled. Thirty miles of electric wire will be used, while a wonderful arrangement of plugging will allow for a half million candle power being concentrated on any one spot. The studio will allow six pro- ducers to work at the same time. To complete the programme for fee first year the Alliance Film Corporation will have to pass 630,000ft. of negatives through their cameras. To supply the necessary copies of these films for Great Britain 3.000,500ft. of film stock will be used and 17,000,000ft. for the copies for the rest of the world, or nearly 9600 miles.

FREE CHURCH COUNCIL'S NEW NAME. RHYL CHOSEN FOR NEXT ANNUAL CONFERENCE. Sir Garrod Thomas presided at a meet- ing of the executive of the Welsh Na- tional Free Church Council, at Shrews- bury, on Friday, when the new constitu- tion was adopted unanimously, and the name of the body in future will be "The Evangelical Council of Wales." The Rev. John Roberts, secretary, pre- sented the report of the negotiations with the Prime Minister and Welsh members with regard to the Welsh Church Act as amended, and the Rev. David Davies, Penarth, a member of the deputation, said he had no sympathy with the accept- ance of the new bill. On the motion of theRev. G. Davies, Llandrindod, seconded by Mr Richard Watkins, Swansea, a resolution was car- ried that the Council regarded the con- troversy as to the Welsh Church Act as defini tcly closed. On the proposition of the Rev. H. M. Hughes the Council congratulated the South Wales Miners' Executive upon their refusal to supply speakers for Sun- day meetings, the Monmouth County Council upon their decision not to open halls on Sunday ex-cept for special reasons, the Cardiff Education Committee upon do lcting their resolution permitting boxing in the schools, and the Llanelly Borough Council upon their refusal to afford facili- ties for boxing exhibitions. The Council accepted the invitation of Rhyl to h oid the annual conference there I 0:1 November 26th and 27th.

NORTH WALES C.M. ASSOCIATION. GAMBLING SPIRIT RAMPANT. CHURCHES AND DRINK TRADE. The proceedings of the quarterly meet- ing of the Nortii Wales Calvinistic Metho- dise Association were opened at Cacrsws, -Montgomeryshire, 011 lucsday, Mr J on 11 Owen (Chester] presiding. Lord Ciwyd, wnb had accepted the invi- tation conveyed by a deputation, was elected treasurer of the bald. Theological College, 111 succession to Mr J. R. Davies, resigned. liic Moderator, referring to the work done by tlic Rev. J. W. Davies \Ewoe Green) as secretary of the Navy and Army Board, attached to the Connexion, said it wa, felt that there should be some tan- gible recognition of what he hade done, especially for the benefit of Welsh sold- iers. A number of friends had subscribed F,5, and it gave him pleasure in asking Air Davies's acceptance of a cheque for that amount. The gift was suitably acknowledged by Mr Davies. A similar gift was made to the Rev. Thomas Charles Williams, the ex-Modera- tor. The Moderator explained that during his moderatorship Mr Williams had made it his business to visit forty or tifty small churches within the- area of the Associa- tion, and in every case his visit- had been greatly appreciated. The visits occasioned financial loss to Mr William. who barely received his travelling expenses. The same friends who provided the previous gift thought it, was only right that Mr W illiams should have some acknowledg- ment for his services, and on behalf of the subscribers he had pleasure in handing the ex-Moderator a cheque for £ 50. Mr Williams, in returning thanks, re- marked that had the gift come from any Connexional funds he would not have ac- cepted it. In his tour of the churches he did not always get enough to pay his tra- velling expenses, ihougu he received a little at each place, from 4s upwards. The Rev. John Owen (Carnarvon) and Professor J. 0. Thomas (Bala) obtained first and second place in the ballot for the Moderatorship for next year, and eventually the former was elected. Tiie Rev. John Pritchard (Lla.nberis) was oiected secretary. The Rev. W. R. Owen (Abergele) was elected examiner of ministerial students for 1920-22. INTEMPERANCE AND IMPURITY. The Rev. R. James Jones submitted the annual report of the Temperance Com- mittee which concluded with resolutions urging the Monthly Meetings and the presbyteries to take steps to see that adequate provision is made for the touch- ing of temperance under the Education Act of 1918; and express ng deep regret at the indications that intemperance and impurity were on the ,incn:&ôe among young people, and strongly urging ulie churches to lead in a vigorous campaign against the drink trade. The Rev. W.Griffith (Djsgwylfa) con- fessed that he was in a despondent mood as the result of a somewhat alarming state of tumgs which prevailed among many of the men who had returned from the war. The gambling spirit; was rampant in some places, even among Church members. Only the other day a woma;. complained to him that her husband lost £3 at cards in one night, while the whole of the £ 2b which he brought hack from France was thrown away in a similar manner. More- over, public-houses showed signs of being much better patronised. So serious were the revelations made before the Temper- ance Committee that it had been sugges- ted that they should be investigated by a special committee. The Moderator: I should be glad to think that the instances you have givezi are exceptions. The Rev. W. Griffith I am afraid that the evil is more general than we think. Dr. John Williams also expressed TYis bolief that things were worse in certain circles than the Association would im- agine, so bad, indeed, that he would not care to repeat them in public The tame had come for a bold united campaign on the part of an the churches against the drink trade, but this could not be accom- plished except by means of much greater financial aid than was at present given by the churches. The report was adopted. BIBLICAL INSTRUCTION. At Wednesday's meetings a report was presented by the Educational Sub-Com- mittee. On the question of continuation schools it was suggested that as many children would be unable to attend relig- ious services the time had come when tiie churches should prepare a scheme of Bib- lical instruction in the schools. Mr Wm. Evans (Liverpool) resigned the chairmanship of the Board of Trustees, and Mr R. J. Williams CMayor of Ban- gor) was appointed in his place. The fol- lowing were elected members of the Board :—Messrs R. Roberts, J. Evan Mor- ris, Arthur Venmore (Liverpool), J. Wynn Powell, and Ithel Davies (Port- niadoe). A welcome was extended to the Rev. W. Stanley Owen (Manchester), who re- cently returned from Canada. Mr Owen, who was formerly at Llanfairfechan. has been apjx»i.nted to a church at Newtown.

The Foreign Office announces that Sir laii Malcolm, K.C.M.G., has been nomi- nated bv His Majesty's Government to the directorship of the Suez Canal Company, vacated by the death of Sir Henry Arthur Lee. Lieut.-Colonel Robert Loraine, the avi- ator and actor, was one of the passengers in a Handley Page machine which flew to Pans on Saturday.
