MANY BUY MOTORS
NOW IN OFF SEASON

II have noticed during the present
show season." says President l.. A.
Hopkins, of the Abbott Motor Co. S
New York branch, with interest and
pleasure the gradual extinction OF the
old idea that the right time TO buy
motors was only during the spring and
early fall. Buyers are beginning to
understand that by placing orders in
what used to be the dull season, say
November to February, they are de-
cidedly the gamers for these reasons:
Every model that will be built I'M
til the 1915 season opens has already
been built and is on exhibition at the
various salesrooms, so an intending
buyer has the greatest possible va
riety of choice. At this time factories
are not so much overcrowded with
orders, and therefore the cars they do
turn out are given more minute care
and have greater perfection of detail
than is possible during the rush spring
season. care not how mechanically
perfected the facilities OF factory
may be, II still remains that labor Is
human, and the work Of men who are
hurried and harried and worked over.

MRS. Sparkling is
BOUND OVER FOR TRIAL

BAD AXE, Mich, Jan. 20-Jus-
tice Skinner yesterday held Mrs.
John Wesley Sparkling to circuit
court for trial. on a charge Of muir
dering her son, Scyrel, by poisoning.
DR.. Daniel Conboy, OF Bad Axe,
testified that he was called to see
the youth during his last illness and
pronounced his death due TO arseni-
cal poisoning.
Mrs. Laura Richardson, a neigh
Dor, testified she visited Mrs. Sparkling
after her son Peter died and before
Scyrels death, that they talked about
insurance, and that Mrs. Sparkling
said it was good thing and she be-
lieved they would take out more in
surance for her sons Scyrel and Ray.
Mrs. Richardson said that when
she sympathized with Mrs. Sparkling
in her troubles. the latter said: Yes,
it is hard, but the worst is yet to
come"
The prosecution claimed that Mrs
Richardson's testimony was sufficient
to hold Mrs. Sparkling and rested his
case. The defense strenuously OBJ

HUPMOBILE EXHIBIT is
VERY COMPREHENSIVE

There will be two points OF absorb
ing interest in the Hupmobile exhibit
at the Wayne pavilion.
One is a chassis In ivory white OF
the new Hupmobile Long Stroke "32,
which will show Americanization and
adaptation of noteworthy European
features to an extent never before sue
cessfully attempted by an American
designer.
The other is the Woodworking
Hupmobile-one OF the first touring
car models produced by the Hupp
company, which landed in New York,
Jan. 4, after journey of 10000 miles.
While the chassis -ef-the newest
Hupmobile is and undoubtedly will
be the center of attraction during the
week, to those desiring to study the
long-stroke motor, etc, the exhibit
has much interest in other directions.
In addition TO the chassis and q com
plete model of the 49," it will include
the standard Hupmobile runabout-a
car for which demand has held up In
season and out of season because OF
its unique features; the roadster with
full torpedo body, and the coupe--a
line of cars so complete and compre-
hensive that 1t will undeniably at
tract a full share of the general in
terest among Wayne pavilion visitors.
In both mechanical and body de-
sign, the new Hupmobile Long-Stroke
"32" is a radical departure from &C
cepted types-as much so, In fact. as
the runabout was a departure when
1t made its first appearance. 1t is de-
signed by T.. A. Nelson, who has been
responsible for the unique style and
charter of the Hupmobile line from
the outset.
Its oyershadowing feature may be
said TO be the motor, with its bore or
3 IA inches and stroke OF IL
inches. The result OF this proportion
of bore to stroke is such that great
pulling power Is produced at all
speeds. absence of noise and vibra-
ton and economy of oil and fuel.
Cylinders are cast en- bloc, with three
bearing crankshaft-an unusual and
noteworthy practice; completely en-
closed valves with operating mechan-
ism OF the latest type, quiet and cas-
lily accessible.
