HUDSON'S TRIUMPH REMARKABLE ONE Record Trip Both Ways Across Continent Shows Possibilities and Advance of Motorcars The Hudson Super-Six did a won derful thing when it ran from San Francisco to New York in five days three hours and thirty-one minutes. But it was a more marvelous accom plishment when that same car turned around and went back across the con tinent and completed the round trip in ten days twenty-one hours and three minutes. Up to last August the best one-way tfme for any automobile was seven days and eight hours. But the same Hudson Super-Six has now made the round trip in just two and a half days longer time than was required for the one-way trip In the best record up to August. The Hudson on its return trip beat every previous transcontl | nental record except Its own. It had J a fair chance to do that up to the last leg of the trip. On the going trip the distance from San Francisco to Elko, Nevada, was made in 20 hours. On account of rains in the Sierra Nevada mountains, thirty-five hours were re quired on the return trip to negotiate that distance. The car was 1 ',4 hours ahead of its schedule when it reached Elko. But as It took fifteen hours longer to finish the last COO miles than we required in making those same 600 miles In the going trip. It was unable to break Its own record. Still it ar rived back in San Francisco in fifty seven minutes less time than any other car that ever made the transconti nental run. One does not have to bo the "oldest inhabitant" to recall the year when a fast railroad train trying for a mail contract took six days to cross the con tinent. Anything less than six days in a Journey by rail from coast to coast was worth mention in the news col umns. But a few years ago it was worth a first pape announcement when an automobile turlng party was able to report, no matter In how many days, that it made the full distance unaided. The transcontinental run of the Hudson Super-Six marks a new mile stone in civilization's progress. The run from San Francisco to New York and return is a most marvelous record. Xo automobile ever before attempted the round trip against time. The Hud son Super-Six set out to establish a record for endurance. Every test it has entered It has won. It was not that records were desired to tihow speed, but that proof was sought In dicating that the Super-Six, by rea son of its exclusively controlled and patented motor, so reduced vibration that a new standard of motor endur ance has been established by it. Speed proves endurance to a motor Just as it shows the endurance of a man. Continuous fast running produces the same fatigue to machinery as it does to a man. So by tests on the speed way, when the Super-Six was driven 1,819 miles in twenty-four hours—s2 per cent, further than any other trav eling machine ever went in that time —we,were able to crowd punishment into that short time exceeding any thing like years of service would Im pose upon the car. It is 3,4 76 miles from San Francisco to New York. In the going trip the OCTOBER 14, 1916. i Super-Six averaged 28.14 miles per hour. This included all'stops and the slowing down to the speed require ments of more than 350 cities, towns and villages. The return trip, ior the reasons already stated, was not so fast. But counting all stops from the time the car left San Francisco until it re turned, it traveled 7,952 miles at the rate of approximately 700 miles a day. By a single invention the Super-Six patented motor which Hudson exclu sively controls was this speed made possible. Science produced that motor out of the Hudson engineering staff. Science, brought the motorcar up to its present point of reliability. Finely tempered steel and other metals, it is true, made possible the remarkable run of the Super-Six. But these were available also to all cars. It was the Super-Six patented motor which has increased the efficiency of the auto mobile to the extent shown in this remarkable round trip across the con tinent. Gasoline is the great magician that* makes possible miracles undreamed of when the Arabian Nights were made so entrancing by man's Imaginative powers. Tribute must be paid to the ingenuity of man that has developed that magician. But greater tribute must be paid to the higher refinements of mechanical and chemical skill which combined find expression in the Hudson Super-Six to the extent of making possible its great perform ances and thus point to the possibili ties of motorcar development. Such performances as have been shown by the Super-Six set the world to thinking. They open new channels of thought about our country. Where the automobile has proved in such a startling way how it links the country to the city, the Super-Six proves how to link coast to coast. Through the development of gasoline and me chanical development as has been shown in the Super-Six it has laced together the great wastes of spaces of the United States. It Is a part of American history that In other days complaint was made of ; the great size of the republic, and now when it is possible to travel in less than six days the distance between the c.hlef cities upon the two coasts it makes tho utterances of the states men of sixty years ago seem ridicu-. lous. Ben Johnson —wisest man of his time —said that man could not travel 20 miles an hour and live—that wind pressure would bo too strong for him to breathe. The statements of statesmen prior to the Civil War seem almost as absurd. For many then favored the secession of the South because of Its distance and ! thought the United States had more territory than tt could possibly handle in the great wastes of the West. The automobile truly has been a tremendous factor in linking the United States together. The Super- Six has merely carried the attainments of other cars a step farther. 57 WHARTON FRESHMEN At the smoker of the Wharton Study Club last night Wendell P.
