In the HUDSON ''37" is expressed the com bined skill and experience of the greatest body of automobile engineers in the country.
 These men represent the training of the greatest factories in the world. They have learned what experience has taught the 97 prin- cipal makers of Europe and America.
 They were active, important members of those various organizations and, combined, had q hand in the production of more than 200, 900 automobiles
 Imagine what strides, what advancement, men of such experience are bound to offer in the car which all have joined in perfecting.
 You probably have an ideal of what motor car should be. Your knowledge of automobile shortcomings undoubtedly has suggested improvements which you would have in a car if 1t were built to your order.
 We'll, here is where you will find not only what you wish to see, but also what has been expressed through the experience that has been gained from the 200, 900 owners who have used the cars which these men have helped to build.

It Has Features No Other Car Possesses

No car you can get today, regardless of price, has all the features that offered in the 1872.
 Consider for moment the rapid advance ment that has been made in motor car building It is almost as startling as are the changes in fashion Think how strange are the open cars of two years ago What proportion of their original cost do you think such cars now bring? It is not due to wear that their value has declined so much. Mo- it is the advance that has been made in automobile building since the open cars were put on the market
 With that thought in mind you must rec ognize the importance of choosing wisely now. Automobiles as now built should be of service for many years and you don't want to feel that you will have to buy new car in two, three or four years because the one you have just purchased will, at that time, be out of date.

WILL ASK TO EXHUNE BODY OF MRS. SzAbO
Believe Autopsy May Show That the Woman Was
 Poisoned

New York, September 7.-Authority to exhume the body of Mrs. Rosa Szabo, the Austrian woman who was drowned in Greenwood Lake, N. Y, July 16 while
 in company of Lawyer Burton w. Gib- son will be requested Monday by District Attorney Rogers of Orange county, N. Y.
 This was decided upon today after d conference between MT. Rogers and As sistant District Attorney Wassevogel of New York and the Austrian consul gen eral who have begun a joint investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death and probating of Mrs. Szabo's $10- GOO will of which Gibson was executor
 MT. Rogers. 1t was learned, plans to have an autopsy performed to determine whether the woman was poisoned before she drowned. That there is reason to suspect such was the case was made known by MT. Wasseyogel after he had had an interview with a woman witness whose name he withheld but whose evi- dence he admitted had prompted Dis trict Attorney Rogers to seek the exhu- nation of the body Mrs Szabos grave, the whereabouts of which Gibson had refused to disclose, was located today in Hackensack, N. J., by detectives work ing for the Austrian consulate
 Our information leads us to believe said MT. Wassevogel, after hearing the story of the woman witness that an au- topsy will reveal much more than has already been disclosed as to the manner in which Mrs SZabo came to her death. It Is likely to show that her death was due to more than drowning. The cir cumstances look very suspicious and 1t is very important to have them either verified or disproyed."
 Gibson, when told today of the inten- ton of the authorities to have Mrs Szabos body exhumed expressed deep interest, but refused to make any com ment other than to repeat his declara- tion that he would be able to make sat isfactory explanations in the case when 1t becomes necessary.
