arrived from Egypt to-day and tele-

This Six Costs Less Than Fours
Weighs Less-Costs Less to Operate

Men changed from two cylinders to
four to get more frequent power strokes.
Now. to get continuous power, they are
changing from Fours to Skies.
To get smooth-running Skies men paid
a high price, carried heavy weight. paid
extra fuel cost.
Now this is all changed. In the new
HUDSON Six-40, all these things are
in favor of the Six. The Four is now
the extravagant Car. The Six, with all
its other advantages, is also the more
economical.
The bee., 1914-04-10
Mr.. Coffin Did 1t

This HUDSON Six-40 is the latest
achievement of Howard E. Coffin, our
great engineer. 1t was he who built the
first high-grade Four to sell under $1,000.
Then the first to sell under $1,000. 1t
was he who built the HUDSON Six-54,
the first high-grade Six to sell under
$4,000. Last year that car became the
most popular Six in the world.
Now he builds this Six-40-the first
quality Six to sell under $1,000. The
first to under-weigh, and the first to show
less operative cost than Fours of equal
power.
The bee., 1914-04-10
The Day of Skies

AS everyone knows, the trend is to-
ward Skies. There are now 38 makers
whose best car is Six, and | 4 Of them
now build Skies exclusively.
Last year, hardly four cylinder car
was sold at price which would buy a
good Six.

New Ideals in Beauty

This HUDSON Six-4O has the new
streamline body. No angles at the dash.
This accords with European vogue, and
Europe always sets the body fashions.
The old-ype bodies will soon be out
of-date.
The gasoline ta~k is in the dash. The
extra tires come ah, of the front door.
All hinges are conces There are two
disappearing extra toll EAU seats. All
instruments and gauges re within reach
Of the driver.
There is a "One-Man' top, covered
with Pantasote, with quick-adjustable side
curtains. A rain-vision windshield, dim
ming headlights, left-side drive, Delco
patented system Of electric starting and
lighting.
The design and equipment are almost
identical with the new HUDSON Six
81. And that we consider the hand
soonest car Of the year. Up to SIX
months ago, no Car at any price offered
so many attractions.
Hudson dealers everywhere
now have this car on show. Write
us for Howard E. Coffin's 55-page
book, and we will direct you where
to see the Car. Then try it out.
1t rides like constant coasting.
The bee., 1914-04-10

This year the HUDSON announces
Six which greatly affects the whole
motor car situation.
The price is $l,750, so it much I'M
dersells any comparable -Four.
The weights 1880 pounds, so it much
underweighs Fours Of similar capacity.
And it costs much less to operate than
Fours Of equal size and power.
The bee., 1914-04-10

1t weighs, for instance, 400 pounds
less than the four cylinder HUDSON
"37", the best four cylinder-car that ever
went from this factory. Yet the wheel
base is l23 inches, and there are two
extra tonneau seats.
1t consumes one-fourth less fuel than
the HUDSON "37", yet it has more
power. This is due to a small-bore,
long-stroke motor-a European innovation.
1t shows an equal or a greater saving
compared with any other same-class Four.

CUTS OUT
NORTH SEA news
Veil of Secrecy Still Hangs
Over Moves of English
Fleet.

What has been going on in the
North Sea? That is the greatest mys-
terry of the war. the problem most diff
ficult to solve 1t is now a month since
the announcement was made that the
English fleet had left PORTSMOUTH I'M
der sealed orders to meet the German
fleet. The impenetrable veil of the
censor, sitting here in London and
controlling the enemy's news as well
as his own, was lifted for the bare
statement. Then it dropped again and
nothing authentic has since been
heard of the men-o,war in the North
Sea. The outside world cannot pierce
the veil. There are no correspondents
aboard the warships of either England

or Germany In the North Sea to send
back even censored dispatches.
OF the fighting on land, the public
hears something. At the start there
were correspondents in Belgium and
every day some news more or less au-
thentic of the fighting In Belgium and
in Alsace and Lorraine has been pub
lished. But of the naval doings In the
North Sea, not word. At first there
were stories of great battle. Heavy
firing was said to have been heard at
sea of various British coast towns.
One story sal dthat a German Zeppe-
lin with bombs had destroyed a Brit
ish warship ever night. But all Of
these reports were effectively denied.
1t is fact that the world has learned
nothing from the North Sea since the
English and German fleets put to sea
there. Has there been a battle?
