PEACE TREATIES

 The striking out of article or the treaty may cause the other nations tc back out. perhaps they laid consid- "rable stress upon that particular portion of the treaties. but we trust no, the germane principles of that particular section appear to be set forth ia milder and less drastic terms in the balance of the treaties. and both England and France may realize this when they come 10 the question of re-ratifying the peace measures.
 It is almost impossible for 6 com mittee to draft a measure of any great Import that will meet with the ap- pToyal Of another body of men. T. ls the most natural thing in the world the documents are often con etrued in a different light. they are approached from different view point. and often convey an entirely different meaning than the framers of the bill. resolution or what ever the document may be was drafted for.
 President Taft. or the members of the various governments affected by the change. or amnedment. should not take the same seriously, they have gained their point. even if in modi- lied form.

Modern automobile designing is
tending toward comfort and ccnven-
fence. The time was when people
were willing to put up with a great
deal Of Inconvenience in their auto
nnobiiing. They realized that $50
mile drive in a day was fatiguing.
Unless he was particularly robust, the
driver hardly felt like covering sim
liar distance the next day. His pas.
scnsers usually were tired and cross
at the end Of the days journey.
But in the HUDSON every known
development looking toward easy
. riding qualities is incorporated.
The upholsterina is u inches deep
Turkish type. You sink down into
1t and lounge restfuliy In its softness
as you rest in favorite chair. The
springs are flexible, bodies rigid and
we'll proportioned. There is roomi-
ness in the tonneau and in front.
COMPLETENESS. .....
The regular equipment includes an
electric seIf-starter which, by the
touching of button and the pressure
of pedal starts the motor 100 times
out of 100 trials. SIT is 100 per cent
sure.
Electric lights are operated from a
generator, also a part OF the self
cranking arrangement. They project
brilliant Tight for a much greater dis
lance than gas, and are controlled
from the drivers seat.
The windshield has a rain vision
arrangement which permits driving
in a binding rain with clear vision
for the driver and with full protection
to the occupants of the front seat.
The windshield is made integral with
the body. III.
The very appearance and feel of
the "54" express its quality..A gauge
Indicates the flow of oil through the
crank case. The oil itself Is NOT seen.
A hand records that proper lubrica-
ton is being given to all parts, and
another gauge indicates the. supply Of

Thus is shown the shortcomings of the one
man idea of designing. When one man domi-
mates in the designing of an automobile, it ex-
presses his ability and his limitations. Every
man is oyertleyeloped IN one way or another.
Every man is good at one thing and not so good
at other things. No man is perfectly balanced,
and no machine designed by any one man can
be more rounded toward perfection than can be

signed it. -
