Howard E. Coffin Saves 1,000 Needless Pounds The HUDSON Six-40 for 1915 weighs 2,890 pounds a seven-passenger car. Built by old standards, such a car would weigh around 4,000 pounds. Cars are all being built lighter, still no other maker has attained this lightness yet. So some will argue that sturdy cars can't be as light as this. « But thousands of these cars went out last year. In thousands of hands, on all sorts of roads, not a single short coming developed. Never has a car proved stauncher. The difference is simply this: Aluminum takes the place of cast iron. Drop forgings take the place of castings. Better designing combines strength with lightness —in a thousand details. One, for instance, is a tubular propeller shaft. No More Over-Tax Needless weight was a heavy over-tax on tires. HUD SON engineers have stopped it. In addition, their new type motor cuts fuel cost 30 per cent. Expense excess is out-of-date. The day of modest size and power and price has come. This new-model HUDSON typifies the car of the future. It is one of the handsomest cars ever built. It has many attractions found in no other car—beauties, comforts and :onveniences. 48 engineers—headed by Howard E. Coffin have de voted four years to this car. Come and see the advances —the scores of new things they've accomplished. Touring Car and Roadster. I. W.

MESON HERE FOR DODGE BROS. CAR Representative Enthusiastic; Many Dealers Want Agency; Local Dealer to Be Picked Soon I C. W. Matheson. representative for j Dodge Brothers In this district, was in the city yesterday, and is responsible for the statement thai the appointment of dealers for tne sale «f the new Dodge Brothers' motor car are about to be made in this section. Mr. Matheson is full of enthusiasm about the new car, j the firm, and the policy behind it. | "When I was in Detroit a short time i ago," said Mr. Matheson. yesterday, "about .".000 appllbi.tions from dealers asking for selling rights had been re- I celved. That number has jumped to more than 7.500. I do not believe a condition like this has ever before ex [ isted in the motor car industry. Dodge I Brothers, with their immense works and millions of money, are to market a mo tor car of their own in the Kail. At one step, they will throw their entire facilities into the production of the one car. The output, of course, will be large. This fact, aifd the reputaion of the firm, seems to have an electrical ef j feet on the dealers, and on everyone in terested in motor cars. "In some of my towns, practically every good dealer wants the agency. My work just now centers In determin ing who are the best dealers, rather I than in selling our cars or our propo j sition. The strength of the Dodge | Brothers' name and reputation has al ready done all the selling necessary. "1 have been allotted a fair propor tion of the year's outpu for my terri tory, but 1 am sorry It isn't twice as larsre."

Goode writes: "Your cable to Insure safety of the |office staff tirst came this morning and I shows you fear capture of Paris by the Germans. We have been too busy to worry over such an outcome, but are , taking care of the men, and no one need stay who does not insist. "For several days we had German I aeroplanes over the office every day. I One was sighted .steering for the Kiffel tower. We jumped into a car and raced I for the slope of the Trocu*lero. from where we watched it circle, while nia- I chine guns, rifles and cannon harked Jail around. It was too high up and I soon flew off east, chased by a French machine. It was brought down just outside the city. You can't imagine the sensation of being right there watch ing. "Koad travel is Intensely interesting.

The rush is over i now but for four days It was a panic. Paris taxi cabs were jogging along as far as Bordeaux, loaded with trunks, and various belongings. "Paris is rapidly being hemmed in by trenches and barriers. Oniy three or four gates are open to carts and auto mobiles. Before each gate frowns a barricade of cobble stones. ."It is my idea to keep the cars run ning as long as we can get permits to circulate. All arrangements are made lin case the Germans get into the city Ito place seals on our premises, putting j them under protection of the American • Embassy. All Americans will be thus j protected."

Because of the demand it I has been impossible for Mr. Zech to ' get cars sufficient to meet deliveries. ] but now they are coming In to better j advantage for immediate delivery. GASOLINE TESTS ON CHALMERS CARS Engineer of Chalmers Company Points Out Chief Factors That Determine Difference "Gasoline consumption—either the oretical or actual—has from time to time occupied much of the thought of both engineers and automobile own ers," says C. C. Hinkley, chief engi neer of the Chalmers Motor Company. "Engineers have always known that the difference in the amount of gaso line used by one car and by another make of the same approximate size and horsepower was an inconsiderable factor in the maintenance of the car. But it has remained for extensive and accurate tests to show that the differ ence in gasoline consumption between diiTerent makes of cars in the same general class is actually a negligible quantity. Where it becomes at all a factor in maintenance costs, large or small gasoline consumption depends on carburetion and Ignition not on weight. "The Chalmers Company's tests cover a great many miles of driving over all kinds of roads with several makes of cars. Unlike most experi ments in gasoline consumption our tests were under average conditions with identical loads and Identical equipment. In testing the Chalmers against some other car, for instance, we ran the cars at the same time so that weather conditions might be Identical. AVe had each car carrying the same passenger load and regularly equipped. We used also the usual commercial gasoline and not a special variety to give high milege. "How unimportant a factor gaso line consumption Is in automobile maintenance can he illustrated by just one Instance in which a Chalmers 'Light Six' was driven under the above conditions with a cheaper and smaller six-cylinder oar which, loaded and ready for the road, weighed 1,000 pounds less. In an extended trip these two cars showed the same identical mileage. With the spark plug points carefully cleaned and with both mo tors tuned for a special test, the Chalmers 'Light Six' showed in over twenty miles of ordinary road driving over three miles more to a gallon of gasoline than smaller and lighter car. "All experiments prove that accu rate carburetion, the proper size of the gas intake, correct valves and proper Ignition are the chief factors in regulating- gasoline consumption. With these parts of the motor of the right design and construction, the mileage showing of any half dozen cars of the same general size is ap-| proximately the same. The difference in the cost of gasoline used by the heaviest as compared with the lightest car in any one class will not amount to more than $lO or sl2 in 10,000 miles of driving. This statement is not theory, but is founded on actual tests under normal conditions. "Fuel consumption being equal, the buyer certainly gets the best service from the oar of most substantial con struction and greatest power Gaso line is one of the cheapest things an owner buys for his car, and It should be one of the least of his considera tions. His biggest concen is not the quantity of gasoline he burns so much as the power and smooth operation which result from his fuel consump tion. Many cars burn a lot of gasoline but do not convert it into working force, it is a fact that has been proved by test that between two cars of dif ferent makes burning the same amount of gasoline, one will often de velop from 8 to 12 more horsepower. Naturally that car is the more eco nomical to operate and the- more sat isfactory to own and to drive. "My advice to every person about to purchase a car is to study carefully the comfort, dependability, strength and smoothness of the various cars, and not to worry about the difference in cost of gasoline burned, which at most is insignificant." SCHOOL - CHILDREN IN EDISON CONTEST [Continued From First Page] has authorized the holding of a chil dren's essay contest on Edison for gold prizes. The resolution formally setting aside October 21 as Edison day was intro duced by President Harry A. Boyer.
