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Expense excess is out-of-date.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.

"Even discounting the enthusiasm
shown by our entire organization, it is
evident thus early that the coming
automobile season will be unusually
prosperous." Mr. I.eland says.
"Our new car has literally taken
the country by storm, and the demand
and enthusiasm far surpass any that
have attended the announcement of
previous Cadillac models.
"It is safe to say that if ew had 6,000
of the new ears ready, we could ship
every one of them.

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."

"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.
Returning from Bordeaux this morn

"The roads are closed at night. You

jor abandoned every five miles all the
way to Bordeaux. 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

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."
