HUDSON ROADSTER
To CONTINUE

The Associated Garage has received
definite word that the makers of the
Hudson car have decided to continue
the $1,000 roadster as a regular 1911
model. OF course there will be other
models for 1911. such as the pony
tonneau touring car and the torpedo
body, but the announcement of their
specifications are not yet out The
point of most interest to Automobiles
of the Islands in these announcements
is that the Hudson roadster is to be
continued during 1911. 1t is reliably
stated that probably no car in America
has SO increased in popularity and has
been copied as has the Hudson road
ster. Heads of corporations, business
and professional men and others are
using the Hudson and find that it fills
a place apart from all other small
cars, y z

THE 1871 {. ME-.
CARS REACH COAST

The Examiner of August 10 con.
tanned the following concerning the
new model E. NJ. F. cars:
One of the largest shipments of
automobiles to arrive on this coast
was received yesterday by the Stude-
baker Company. The shipment, con-
sisting of twenty carloads, including
100 e. NJ. F. and Flanders cars reach
ed the local distributing point and
will be delivered rom this city to the
subagents and purchasers throughout
the interior of the State.
A complete line of these we'll
known cars is included in the ship
ment. The Flanders runabouts, tour
ing car, suburban and roadster and
the E, M, F, line of the same types
of bodies are features of the new cars.
According to Chester N. Weaver,
Western manager for the Studebaker
Company, the demand for the popu
lar priced cars, such as the Flanders
and E. M. F., is better than in any
past season, and the large shipment
just received of these cars will only
partially satisfy the advance orders.
Only minor changes mark the old
and the new models OF these cars. In
finish the new cars represent the lat
est type of the popular priced motor
car construction. The fact that
these two lines of cars are manufac-
tured in unusually large numbers is
the reason given by Weaver for it's
popularity. The new method adopted
by the factory to guarantee each car,
even in including the equipment for
one year, is another innovation in
the disposing of modern motor cars

HUDSON SCORES AGAIN.

According to advices received by
the Pioneer Automobile Company,
another perfect score for the Hudson
was recorded in the three days relia-
bility run of the Cleveland News. A
Hudson touring car, driven by Will
liam L. McCulla, led twenty-eight OF
her cars over a hazardous 407-mile
trail through Ohio. Four passengers
with baggage were carried in the
Hudson. Rough and soft roads were
encountered much of the way.
Among other recent events in which
perfect scores were attained by the
Hudson were the New Jersey reliabi-
lily run and the Virginia endurance

L. Macfarlane, of Kona, has placed
his order with the Associated for a
new, 1911 Chalmers roadster.
Arthur Rice, of Kauai, who wanted
a Chalmers in hurry, jumped at the
chance and took Mr.. Macfarlane's
pony tonneau and will transfer it to
the Garden Island after the polo sea-
son. =
More interest than ever is being
taken in the Chalmers, as those who
travel from the Islands find the hold
this-America's greatest moderate
priced car-has upon the public. It
is a beautiful machine and as near
machinery perfect as it is possible to-
make car. Hugh Chalmers name
has always been coupled with success,
and it has been no surprise to all who
have known him that the Chalmers
ideas have been extensively copied by
his competitors. This is the greatest
sort of tribute to Mr.. Chalmers per-
sonally and to the car bearing his
name.

A SPECIAL LAMP
FOR AUTO NUMBERS

Almost every state that enacts a
new law for the guidance of motor
car users these days devotes a special
paragraph to rules for lamps. The
general requirement is that the rear
number shall be illuminated sufficient
'ly to. be visible for distance of fifty
feet at night. With the lamp equip
ment of some cars the ingenuity of
the owner is rather thoroughly tested
to find way to make the rays of the
rear lamp shine on the number plate.
In order to allow owners of its cars
to comply strictly with both the letter
and spirit of the law as exemplified
by the Caller bill in New York the
Pierce-Arrow Motor Car company of
Buffalo has added to the regular equip
ment of its cars a sixth lamp for the
sole purpose of number plate illumina-
ton. This lamp is of peculiar con-
struction. 1t is like a tube cut in
half-about six inches long and an
inch and half in diameter. 1t is
electrically lighted and can be turned
on or off by the switch that operates
the side and rear lights. When it is
on its rays cover the entire number
in way that would insure any owner
against arrest for violation of this

BIG DEMAND FOR
AMERICAN CARS

SAN FRANCISCO, August 9.-The
growing demand for American made
motor cars is well illustrated by re-
cent activity at the Hudson factory
Speaking of this b. X. Brinegar, pres
ident of the Pioneer Automobile Co.,
said: "The Hudson Motor Car Com
pany have covered many quarters of
the globe recently by reappointing
agents in Canada, Havana, Cuba, and
establishing new agencies in Cairo,
Egypt, and British West Indies and
South America.
"Mr. b. S. Wilson of Montreal Wis
tied the Hudson factory and signed
a contract for the ensuing year by
which he purchased 100 cars, twenty
of them for immediate delivery. The
Hudson has secured a firm hold on
the affections of Canadian motorists
and the triangle on the radiator is
plainly discernible all over the do
minion.
a. M. Duenas, who sold the Hud-
son last year in Cuba, was also a cal
Ter at the Hudson plant and signed up
for another years business handling
the Hudson on the Island. He re-
ported even better prospects for 1917
than the 1910 business, which was ex-
ceptionally good.
"A Hudson touring car has just
been shipped to Cairo, Egypt, and
several more have been contracted
for by the agents for the Hudson in
that ancient city.
"By special arrangement a travel
ing salesman from the Hudson Co.
will spend the coming year in Brit
ish West Indies and South America,
with special attention being given to

qualities, and a number of orders for
new Alcoes to arrive in the future
are being booked as a result. The
Hawaiian has no other new cars at
present, and will not have until after
the visit of Mr.. F. W. Macfarlane to
the factory in the east.

LIBRARY PICNIC IS
EXPECTED TO TAKE
THOUSANDS TO LAKE
Ladies Promise Fine Barbecue
and Unique Attractions
for the Visitors
DANCE TO BE FEATURE
FOR THIS EVENING
Large Number of Business Houses VIII
Close at 5 O'Clock Today-PubIic
Schools VIII Also Give
Half Holiday
.......................... ...........s........ss

Never in the history of the Birming-
ham Public Library has so determined
an effort been made for its benefit
as that which will come to a head to-
cay in the grand Library Day picnic
to be hold at East Lake.
Neither has any former movement
been attended with such a show of
public interest as has been recently
seen. Not only will the white sch ools
of Greater Birmin CHAM observe half
holiday in order to allow the pupils
presence this afternoon at East Lake,
but 3S of the most representative bus
mess houses of the city have agreed
10 close an hour earlier to enable their
barbecue supper.
All indications point to a great sue
cess of the enterprise. From the pres
ept outlook a larger crowd will turn
out for the days pleasure than any
ever seen at the popular amusement
park and preparations have been made
to accommodate thousands. All the
blast and member of one of the
local womens clubs will act as siren
for each, tempting the public to spend
a dime or so.
Nobody will be justified in leaving
the. park for luncheon or supper, as
barbecued meats unprecedented in fla
vor and delicacy will be served by
ladies who have the growth of the
library so much at heart. Myriad sand
witches may be had for the asking
and the price, and the Greek who sells
factor when it comes to dispensing la
creme Napolienne..
East Lake park will be just what
it is plus all that the versatility of
Birmingham club women can add. The
browning feature of the day will be
the dance, to be given in the even
ing at the pavilion, when an epoch
making social function is scheduled.
The affair will be most exclusive and
the most fastidious will not have cause
to complain.
The Herald has also been re-
quested to assure the public that the
comet will this evening be as plainly Wis
IDLE from East Lake as from Bir-
mingham, which does away with the
last excuse some may offer for not
celebrat ting Library Day.

doors will be closed this afternoon at
o'clock

PROPOSAL OF RAILROADS
-. PLEASES THESE CITIZENS

accepting the proposal of the corporations
as to the construction of a viaduct over
Twenty-eighth street
T. H. ALDRICH.
Most favorable consideration should be
given the proposition submitted by the
railroads as to construction of Twen-
ty-eighth street viaduct on the part Of
the Mayor and Board of Aldermen, es-
pecially when we consider that their
proposition contemplates an expenditure
far In excess of paving should this street
be opened at grade.
J. D. KIRKPATRICK.
With my knowledge of the territory
which the Twenty-eighth vaduct will
serve and by its construction open a
highway from the North to the Southside,
making the 100000 Terminal station ac-
cessibe to the people from the North
and Southsides, I consider the railroads
are asking but little The expense to the
city of AUDITING damages and approaches
will be small the closing of streets asked
fer will amount to nothing, as there are
but two streets that could be opened in
the territory which they ask closed
namely, Twenty-sixth and Thrtieth,
Thirty-second being open at grade at
this time. The liberality in which the
re iIroads have handled this question is
most gratifying and an agreeable surprise
to me. A. L. FULENWIDER.

MUST NOT LEAVE
TEAMS UNATTENDED

In view of recent violations of sectioo
S75 of the city code, which relates to the
leaving of teams and horses on the streets
unattended. Chief of Police George H.
Bodeker has issued an order to the city
police department to the effect that every
officer shall keep a sharp lookout for
these offenders and unite to break N
the practice. Section SIS reads as fol~
lows:
ANY person who leaves any horse. mule
or team standing attached to. any vehicle
in the streets without any person IN
charge of such horse, mule or team sx-
cept when being loaded and unloaded,
must, on conviction, be punished as pros

that this is carried out to the letter."

That there may still be another man
in the mayoralty race was yesterdays
development of Birmingham's municipal
campaign.

should he enter. When approached by
representative of The Age-Herald yes
terday morning regarding his candidacy
he stated that he had not yet decided,
but intimated that his decision might be
forthcoming in the next day or two.
Mr.. Weakley has long borne the repu-
tation of being able authority on crim-
inal law. In addition, he has a wide
personal acquaintance In Greater Bir-
mingham. having served as city attorney
for a great number of the suburban towns
