With many portions of Utah wonderful national park lands still to become thoroughly known, the automobile promises to be one of the most important factors in blazing the traiL Many expeditiona contemplated for the coming spring and summer will depend entirely on ears for use as bases of supplies and for transportation to the points, where the. real climbing commences. The way to all of these places are motor trails, whether it is an expedition to explore the plateaus and upper reaches of Zion canyon, lo be dropped off back of Cedar City, or group of archaeologists en route to delve into cliff dwellings. Two years ago, when the Douglas White expedition went over the high places in what are now the back stretches of Zion national park, it waf a small touring car that brought them over traillesa plateaus to the brink of the main gorge itself.

As Salt Lake is naturally the commercial and jobbing center of a vast lerrt tory, rich in resources. Varied in activities and requiring in its development motor cam of every Btjlu and type, special efforts will be made to care for the visitors. Jobbers and travel-htuwsn from every city- and town one or more automobile agenpoBsesslug cies are expected to be on hand to "gel on line" what a their own houses ant their competitors are doing In the automotive industry, and ull who come will receive special attention wild care. The show committee, comprising A. II Arc.i Browning, Tqursaen. chairmun; O. Rulon,. T. W. Naylor, J. W. Charles I4 Hail and Fred tjharman, has provided regulations that exhibitors may begin installing their displays as early as 8 o'clock next Bunday morning. All exhibits ore required to be in place by 4 oclock of thu following day, the show to be off! dally opened at :30 that night. ot - j Will a others are coming to exploit it. picture companies, scientists, explorers of all kinds will be taken in, not only , to discover new. places of beauty and grandeur in Zion park, but also in the surrounding' Country, until the whole region will be known as one great wonderland, itself one great playground for the public. Bryces canyon, to the enst ef Zion, was an automobile-mad- e discovery, so fur as public interest is concerned. The Cedar Breaks, back of Cedar City, are now accessible to machines, and are being publicized accordingly. Other places of similar interest are constantly being uncovered by the motor exest, Salt Lake Is in Line. Tit giving an auto show early this year tialt Lake is only keeping pace with other Important cities of the Culled States. tCvblenoa of this statement is to be found ;n the fact that the curreut issue of Motor Age prints the names and dales of e cities, including nearly all thg municipalities of lOO.uOO or more, that have held or will hold auto shows during the months of January. February or March. That the Salt Lake exhibit will rank far ahead of that in some cities of equal or greater size is the firm belief of the show committee and the management. ; ilxtraordlnarv precautions to insure the afety of all who attend have been taken y the commit leo in charge.

Now, have similar shows scheduled for the months 0 February and March. - The Chicago show, like the New Jork show of threo week ago, will go down in bistorv as having been a display of cars of more conservative design than was anticipated by Ihe general public. The London and Paris shows were ; featured by the debut of a number of strikingly new postwar models, prominent among them being the Napier, I ' ing examples of mechanical improvements at the show. The new Cleveland attracted more than its share of attention, and the Mitchell, Overland and Marmon also were conspicuously in the limelight. At the hotels the new H. C. 8. easily Captured the palm in point of interest, this snappy design, ina host of original ideas corporating and comparing favorably m appearance with the most costly cars at the show, being constantly surrounded by a throng of admirers. The Lafayette car also drew more than customary attention. By and large, howeverrthe dominant characteristic of the 192J Chicago show was a spirit of conservatism, an adherence to established traditions, with very little radicalism in evidence. It is believed that many of the American .manufaurers awaited the outcome of the European shows before starting their postwar development, which would augur a much more comprehensive show ing of the new models at the Chicago show in 1921 than was registered in 1929. ,. one-ha- -- . much-heralde- d i six cylinder, 8x5.
