business side of the trip was to in

tons in foreign countries. particular
ly in reference TO low priced cars
and. to form an estimate Of the pos

campaign for our product.
The results of this trip firmly
convinced me that there is, and will
be for years to come, tremendous
field for the exploitation Of Amer
lean ow-priced cars in every country
abroad where automobiles are used.
Foreigners have learned that the
American small car Is put together
with the same care and skill that
goes into the higher priced cars: that
they will stand up equally as well as
the larger types, and on account Of
their lighter weight are extremely
economical of gasoline.

Persistency in anything. X 1t is

That Is what has made Richmond
one of the leading bowling centers in
the South. Having taken part in the
great tournament in Washington,
where number of prizes were won.
and having secured the next intercity
tournament for Richmond, the local
bowling association deserves much
credit. and many thanks, from the
lovers of this one of the cleanest OF
all sports.
The Richmond alleys are producing
many excellent rollers. The excite
ment of contest combined with the
exercise makes of bowling splendid

mental development.

to hold a tournament here the middle

Larz Anderson, the American am
bassador to Japan. Immediately upon
his arrival in Toxic, commenced
preparations for his official duties,
one OF them being the purchase of a
beautiful Hudson Limousine for the
functions of the diplomatic post. He
also purchased a touring car body in
addition.
The Gordon Motor company, in
corporated, distributors of the Hud-
son car here, learned of the purchase
OF the car from the New York rep
resentatives of the Toxic Hudson
dealers today.
The limousine Is to be utilized in
the many social functions in which
diplomat 10 foreign land must take
part When not being used during
the social functions in Toxic, the car
is to be convertes into n touring mod
and placing the touring body upon the
chassis, which is also supplied by the
Hudson Motor Car conpeny
Mr.. Anderson, who is very
wealthy man, was on the point of
purchasing q 5000 car, but was so
impressed with the wonderful quail
fications OF the Hudson. that he de-
cided on that car instead.
The touring model, which Mr.. An
derson will utilize, is a large FIVE
passenger car of long wheel base, and
is n car of great power 1t is prob
ably the most beautiful car that has
yet been imported into Japan.
There are a numbe of American
cars in Tokto--the first Hudson hav-

doctor residing there.

While in the Southland Mr.,

business conditions very carefully, and
upon his return TO the factory gave 1t
az his opinion that the next six
months In the South would be pro-
ductive OF good business in other lines
as we'll as the automobile business.
In commenting upon the business
outlook Mr.. Srea@ns remarked.
The present prosperity VII t h for
some months past has been felt in the
North in manufacturing lines, has
spread 10 the South. and from the
sources at my command | am fully of
the opinion that practically all OF the
southern States are in for continued
good business Reports from our
sales supervisors who are continual
ly travelling through various parts OF
the country, lead me TO believe that
the good business conditions which
found in the Southern country along
the Atlantic coast. are not local, but
extend through the Southern States
TO the West. and that all manufac-
turers can look for steady business
in practically all parts of the coun-
try"

AS an example OF what has been
done to increase power plant efficien-

a moment the 1918 Mitchell cars.

used in both Mitchell six cyciinder

To the length OF the stroke, but to the

latter by substantial margin. In
the Mitchell Big Six" and the Big

the stroke 7 inches. while in the
smaller six IL is 4x6 inches. The
special efficiency of such long stroke
motors is now an established fact.
The so-called T-head cylinders are
used In the new Mitchell models.
These permit the use of large valves
which are a strong factor increasing
