SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1922. HUDSON CLOSED CARS POPULAR Output Breaks Factory Rec- ord; Essex Demand Shows Big Gain. Shipments of Hudson closed cars from the factory during the second quarter of 1922 were 54 per cent of the ‘total production of SuperSixes during tho quarter, acording to word just received froém the Hudson Motor Car.company by FR. N. Van Sant, Io cal Hudson-Essex dealer. [t is be lieved that this figure continues Hud- gon well in the lead of all other au- tomobiie concerns in proportion of cloged ear output to total production ‘These figures reveal that the pr portion of Hudson closed cars has continued at a steadily increasing number of cars and at the same pro- portionate rate even well into the summer. Two months ago the com pany announced that closed car ship- ments of Super-Sixes for the first four months of 1922 were §5 per cent of its total output. Benex closed car shipments for the game period were 41 per cent of its quarterly production. This volume ts remarkable when the price clams, which ranges from $1,095 to $1,295, is considered. Production of Hudson and Wssex care for the second quarter made it the largest, second quarter the com pany ever had. Two of the three months during this quarter—May and June—set up new high output end sales records. Hudson officials feel that the Super Six will lead all other companies in the country in proportion of closed ¢-r production this year. They also believe that production of Essex closed models for the entire year will be In excess of half the tolal Essex output. (PSUS ED oo WILLS. ST. CLAIRE IN SLOW SPEED TEST ‘With the assistance of trained ath- lete as a pace maker, J. M. White of Sloux City, Iowa, recently gave 2 Wills Sainte Claire stock touring car a test that had a number of unique features. Mr. White's purpose was to dem onstrate the ability of the Gray Goose to travel at slow speed while in high The route selected was’ the Aistance of 20.2 niles. Before the start the chief of police sealed the transmis- sion of the car, the town constable of Moville examined the car upon its ar- rival to see that the test was fairly made and a motorcycle officer acted as pilot. The athlete who assisted tn the test, Gus. A. Carlson, walked the en- tire 20.2 miles beside the car, never once getting ahead of the front fen- der or behind the rear fender. His average speed was slightly better than three miles an hour, much of the distance being covered at a rate be- tween two and two and one-half miles per hour. The return trip was made’ in 28 minutes. Moving pictures were made of this test. nse: he ak oe I Turkey the bridal procession ‘usually consists of three parts, the first being a gaudily decorated cart on which is piled the bride's dower of furniture, ete.

AUTO ENGINEER HAS TO SOLVE IMPORTANT PROBLEMS BALANCE IN FRAME, DISTRIBUTION OF WEIGHT NEEDED “Designing a car that will meet with popular favor is no easy msk, An automobile engineer must cc sider a great many things before he can turn out a product that will meet with the approval of thousands of Motor Car buyers. It is certainly @ most particular task maintains Mont Gallup of the Gallup Motor Co.» the local Durant dealer. “Catering to the requirements of a market of millions of people the world over is what the automobile engineer has to do. So he has to design carefully and construct his car with precision. He has a great many things to ponder over in his preliminary work before getting his car under way. “Primarily, the engineer must build a car that will render service, be commented upon favorably, and | guarantee a steady demand. In short, the car must make good in every possible way. He must adapt a design that represents the best thoughts and ideas gained from ex- perience, and the material specified must measure up to the require- ments in minute detail. “For instance, in planning the chas- sis, there must be balance every- where. True relationship must exist between the motor and the clutch, between the clutch and the trans- mission, and between the transmis- sion and the driving unit. A cor- rect distribution of weight through- out is also necessary and there must be incorporated a certain rigidity which tengs to keep the body solid and free from strain and squeaks. “The total weight must “be con- sidered, too. A car too light is dan- gerous on the road, while one that ts too heavy cuts deep into the ex- pense account.

The department will plant 20,00 trees along the highways this year and each year hereafter will add to the number. What Minnesota is doing is also being done in Pennsyl< yvania and many other states. Ex: perts declare that {f the trees are set ;back far enough thelr roots will not injure road pavements. .It was con- Yended at one time that tree roots and the shade cast by the branshes were detrimental for instance, to as- phalt paving, but experience in Wash- ington, D.
