i YEAR from nVwv and with'tho coming
generation what will ltJber
An almostrpropheticwision, forty
years ago, enabled Alexander'
Graham Bell apid.his fellow pioneers
to conceivethat mammotlunetwork of
telephonic cbminimicationuvhich now
binds ever city in the land with
seventy thouteandtothers.
The articles oflincoijporation of that
first Bell Company statedlas its purpose to
Erovido telephone communication in and
etween "all the Statics and foreign coun
tries," and so did those pEoneers build ever
with an eye to the f utirre,ianticipating that
eventual demand on the) service which is
now being realized.
And, so, invention tfias piled upon in
vention, betterment has crowded better
ment; the telephone has spanned the con
tinent and the oceans! Bux whereas, only
a aecaaeor two ago, an prophesies as to
those accomplishments which have now beea realized were
greeted with ridicule, to-day thevision of what,to-morrow will
bring forth' is not lightly taken.
Only recently in. Philadelphia, Chief Engineer John J.
Carty of the Bell System, speaking before, the Franklin Institute,
said; "Na one can tell how far away are the limits of the tele
phone art, I am certain that they will not be found on this earth,
for I firmly believe that some day we will build up a
world telephone system, making necessary to all peoples the use
of a common language or a common understanding of languages
Which will joiniall of the people pf the earth into one brotherhood."
Thqreis.no such thing as success, even in the little things of
work or service, unless there be a great compelling ideal and purr
pose towards" which to strive!

THE NEW ALL-SEASON CARS
THERE ia a growing trend toward one car for all seasons an
open and closed car combined. In two new-stylo bodies,
exclusively Hudson, this demand has been met in an ideal way.
The first ia tho Hudson Cabriolet. Thia is a completely enclosed
coupe, richly appointed, with ample room for three. Almost in a
moment this car can be changed to an open Hudson Roadster.
Tho even-passenger model Is the Hudson Touring Sedan. This
car has all tho elegance of a fine electric brougham. Tho seats are all
in one compartment. Any member of the family can drive it while
seated with the rest. But the plate glass sides can bo dropped in a
moment. Then you have a touring car with the sides completely open.
Not a sash or a brace in the way.
The object of both is a 3GG-day car a car that ia never laid up.
Thia is sometimes attempted by patching a half -body on to, an open
body. The result ia a compromise car, In the Hudson way the closed
cars are aa luxurious as though built for closed cars alone.
These cara are for winter or summer, for rain or shine,. for tour
ing or for town. ,
They combine a lady's car with a man's car, a theatre car with'
a day car, and without seeming half-and-half.
They are so evidently popular that we are preparing to meet' an
enormous demand for these models.
The Super-Six motor ia a Hudson invention, controlled by Hudson
Patents, which increase Motor Efficiency by 80 Per Cent.
