October 27, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 61 Striking Colors Feature of Show Staged in London Striking body and color schemes prevailed at the twenty-second inter- national automobile exposition which closed a few days ago in London. The show was marked by more color than at any preceding exposition. While there was a large increase in two-tone combinations in lighter shades of finish, one of the outstand- ing features was the increased number of colored fenders contrasting with the body finish. There were but few black fenders, this color being used only when it would particularly harmonize or contrast to advantage with the body. With two-tone combinations the up- holstery usually matched one of the colors. Striping was emphasized on the bodies, and while there were a few old- fashioned narrow stripes, broad stripes about three inches wide made their appearance on many models. A few models displayed colored en- ameled handles contrasting with the lighter body tone, but matching the wide band around the car. Many cars were showing colored brake drums which contrasted with the hues em- ployed on the spokes of the wheels. Polished wood running boards pro- tected with metal mounting, which also served as mud scrapers, were also in evidence. Slow Driver Is Dangerous, Says Motor Club Official That the slow driver, who insists on taking the middle of the road, is a distinct traffic hazard, is the opinion of Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor Club. "This class of drivers, no doubt, is the indirect cause of more accidents than the deliberately reckless driver, if for no other reason than that more of the former class of drivers are on the street," declares Mr. Hayes. "The slow driver who occupies the middle of the road is generally of a deter- mined nature; the sounding of horns behind him makes him more deter- mined than ever to continue on his way without any deviation; an admir- able quality gone wrong," observes Mr. Hayes. "Few drivers in this class know that they are driving contrary to all the rules of the road and of the laws of most states; they believe that thei own rate of speed is proper, and that those who wish to pass them are driv- ing too fast.for safety."
