months all over the country, the secret
has been completely kept up to this
time.
The definite admission by Mr.. Moore
to the effect that the new Saxon will be
a six" has aroused even more interest
than ever before because OF the sue
cess of the Saxon Company with light
weight low priced cars of high effci-
ency.
Since the rumor became current that
the Saxon Company would launch a
new car of the touring type, applica-
tion for distribution rights have poured
in from dealers all over the country al
the rate of hundreds week.
Along with the confirmation of the
rumor about the new car comes the
word from Mr.. Moore that the success
of their four-cylinder roadster has
prompted the Saxon Company to ar
range for greatly increased output OF
this model for the coming season. II
had been foreseen that the present
factory facilities would be inadequate
to take care of production for the 1915
season, and plans have been completed
which will give the Saxon Company
triple the factory space it now occu-

PROTECT the Family
in Winter Driving---

Everybody knows the Hupmobile has
long been the car of the American fam
lily.
Now it is the winter car of the Amer
ican family, because the Sedan top
gives the family complete protection
on winter trips, says E. c. Ensminger,
the local Hupmobile dealer
I'd like you to see the car with the
top fitted, because I'm pretty sure you
will want one for your own family.
The extra cost is so small that it is
out of all proportion to the comfort af-
forded and the colds and doctor bills it
prevents
It's appearance is handsome-it har-
monies perfectly with the 1915 Hup's
beautiful lines-it is substantially built
and firmly, though temporarily at
tached
Inside it compares with the richest
limousine.
And when spring comes, take it off
and store it away for use the next win
ter.

fort and your own, better see the new
car.

IMMENSE ADDITION
To HUDSON FACTORY
Main Building and Three Wings
to Have Third Story
Added

Cheering evidence of satisfactory
present and future business conditions
is shown by the announcement of i'm
mense additions to be made to the al
ready enormous factory of the Hudson
Motor Car Company. So pronounced
has been the success of the Hudson Six,
and so insistent the demand OF the
public for cars that the present plant
large as ii is. has proved inadequate to
handle the business. 1t has. therefore,
been decided to add a third story to
the main factory building and to three
of the large wings. an addition of floor
space 2,20O feet long by sixty feet wide.
In construction the addition Will con-
form to the present style of pressed
brick and concrete. Work on an addi-
tional story will begin at once. 1t is
to be completed. and the enlarged prem
ises ready for occupancy on March l.
1915. This is arranged so that the
company will be in the best possible
shape to handle what promises to be
the record year of it's history.

CARE OF BATTERY
To Avoid Freezing 1t Should Always
Be Fully Charged


with the coming of cold weather,
the storage battery used in connec-
ton with the starting and lighting
systems may require a little extra at
tention," states George F. Mcfarland,
president and general manager of
the Harrisburg Automobile Co, dis
tributors in this territory for the
HAYNES. Americas First Car. "A
cold motor requires much cranking
and consequently much current is
used. The effect OF cold on a storage
battery is to make 1t sluggish. A
hydrometer should be used frequently
to see that the battery is not being
discharged to too low a degree.
"a storage battery will gradually
become discharged when standing idle
even when no current is being used,
due to the fact that slow chemical
action is taking place at all times
within the battery regardless or
whether the current is being used or
not When a car is not to be used
for as long as two or three weeks, or
the car is to be stored, the battery
should receive a complete charge pc
fore allowing the battery to stand,
and it should receive additional charg-
ing at least every two or three weeks
until the cells begin to gas or bubole
freely. This charging is best done
by allowing the battery to remain in
the car without disturbing any OF the
connections, by allowing the engine to
run at the same speed as is attained
when the car is travelling at about
twenty miles per hour.
I'm order to avoid freezing of the
battery. it should always be kept in a
fully charged condition. A fully
charged battery will not freeze at any
of the temperatures ordinarily eX-
perienced. The electrolyte, or solu-
ton, will freeze as follows:
Specific gravity 1.120, battery dis
charged, 20 degrees above zero.
Specific gravity 1.16O, battery =
discharged, zero.
SPECIFIC gravity 1.21O, battery II
discharged, 90 degrees below zero.
SPECIFIC gravity 1850, battery "A
discharged, so degrees below zero.

DODGE BROTHERS
CLEAR ATMOSPHERE
Announcement a Surprise to Many
Who Predicted Lowest
Priced Car

Aside from the tremendous inter
est shown by the public in the new
car which has just been announced |
by Dodge Brothers. a much-vexed
question as to the position the new |
car would occupy in the industry has
been definitely settled. Every sort OF
guess from q cyclecar to a six-cylin- |
der machine was ventured by men |
who claimed to know but probably |
the greatest number believed that
Dodge Brothers new car was to be
some sort of marvellous creation sell
ing we'll under $500.
The attitude of Dodge Brothers was
well explained by General Sales Man
ager Philip recently in a talk to deal
ers and newspaper men.
Dodge Brothers, with years of ex-
perience in turning out parts for low
priced cars, have sought and we be-
lieve, obtained a new ideal in the
moderate-priced field said Mr..
Philip. I'm place of building the best
| car possible at u low price, Dodge
Brothers determined to build the best
| car they knew how to build, ana then
place a moderate price on it. We be-
| lieve that this is the first time the
problem has been approached in this
manner, and the enthusiastic recep-
ton given the car proves the correct
ness of Dodge Brothers estimate or
the public demand.
| I'm assigning a new motor car to
any particular grade, 1t shouid pe
remembered, that while the moderate
| priced field is not as large, IL is
equally as important as the low
nriced field In deciding TO enter the
lmoderate-priced field, Dodge Broth
ers felt themselves to be peculiarly
we'll fitted for operating IN this
branch of the industry. Equipped III

Of well-built cars, Dodge Brothers

VELVET DRESSES WITH TUNES

Although many dress skirts are in
circular cut, this is rarely the case
with velvet dresses, as the long
tunic is especially good in velvet
says the Dry Goods Economist. These
long overskirts, as they may be call
ed require weight in the cloth to
make them hang gracefully, and are
therefore an attractive style for vel
vet Circular skirts are very apt to
hang unevenly in velvet as the weight
of the cloth drags down the skirt al
the sides.

BOOZE ADS. AND GOOD Rtpu1E.

A slug head in the Fort DodSe
Messenger of recent issue states in the

that West Virginia May Face a Bis

WHAT CAN BRYAN DO IN lowA7

Mr.. Bryan is to come to Iowa as
campaigner for Mr.. Connolly. So
sayeth Mr.. Connolly informing the
newspapers that the peerless leader
and apologizer has promised him so
much. Mr.. Connolly naively added
that Iowa gives a large republican ma
jority and democrats need help.
Iowa will be glad to have Mr.. Bryan
'in her midst" Iowa has always been
glad to listen to Mr.. Bryan. 1t is
stock entertainment in Iowa and
Iowans have paid much mazuma for
the privilege. Indeed Mr.. Bryan has
kept mighty mum = general way
unless he had a contract to get the
first $3.50 and split on all the rest OF
the gate receipts. No doubt many
will hurry to get front seats at the
coming orgy Of oratory if only for the
sensation Of hearing Mr.. Bryan with
out parting at the entrance with a so
cent piece, (the first 500 Of which went
to Mr.. Bryan before anybody else got
a finger on the proceeds). Iowa likes
70 hear him. 1t has become a habit
like MI. Bryan's habit Of candidating
for the presidential nomination. Per-
maps custom would be a better word.
Iowa folks run over to the church or
down to the hall to hear Bryan on
The Prince Of Peace" just as they buy
padded volumes Of Tennyson's poems
along in Christmas week.
Mr.. Connolly should not bank too
greatly upon what Mr.. Bryan can do
for him in Iowa Iowa folks like Mr..
Bryan to listen to but they DO not fol-
low him. They never have leaned to-
ward him except for the moment when
he was Towering in oratory. They
walk up to the platform and shake
] hands with him apd go away and vote
against him. When Bryan comes to
! Iowa this fall he will not have changed
| republican vote from Cummins to
Connolly. It is very grave question
whether his coming will not have the
opposite effect and rekindle the still
glowing embers Of resentment which
| famed so fiencely when Bryan de-
stroyed Champ Clarke at Baltimore
Bryan's political influence in Iowa is
with Bryan democrats only. The
Wilson democrat is hybrid between
the Bryan strain and the Clark breed
and in Iowa most Of the colts carry
Missouri markings. Altogether it is
pretty hard to see where Bryan car

hasn't got now.
