.ASOU|TH HAS A POINTED
QUESTION TO ANSWER
WILL HE MEET GERMAN ADVANCES TOWARD PEACE
HALF WAY
Press)
oAssoeiated Press>

London, June 30.-David Mason,
liberal member of the House of Com
mons from Coventry, has given notice
that he will ask Premier Asquith in
the House of Commons today "Wheth-
er, in view of certain recent speeches
made by members of the German
parliament, in which they demanded
speedy, honorable peace, his majesty's
government will now consider the ad-
visibility of stating at this time more
specifically than heretofore the terms
upon which such peace with England
and her allies would be possible, with
the object of Fastening, if possible,
such happy consummation."
This may mean that the present
war, which has devasted such large
portion of Europe, will be brought to
an early close. Experts have pre-
dicted that the fighting would con-
tinue until one side or the other had
exhausted their supply of ammuni-
tion or mep- The whole world anxious
ly awaits the reply of Premier As
quith to this question.

UNUSUALLY FINE cANTs

While the cantaloupe crop of Mar
ion county has not been a very bril-
liant financial success, we do not
ever remember to have tasted finer
favored fruit all through the season
from the first to the last. AS far as
we are able to Judge, the rains that
usually practically destroy the flavor
of the fruit have not in the least in
jured it and it looks like the last ship
ments will be as good as the first.

hence the report is altogether untrue

What Italy has done is to offer

Now Comes the Ever-Lustre Finish

And now comes for the first time what you
have dreamed ola ~lustrous finish which stays
new. 1t is the greatest innovation of the year.
In our new factory addition we have built
mammoth ovens. with capacity for hundreds of
bodies. Now our body finish is baked on in many
separate coats. Each coat of finish is now applied
under pressure which fixes it as never before.
After each coat the body goes to an oven where
it is baked for hours, then rubbed. This is done
with every coat-an exclusive Hudson process.
The result is a body that stays new. The finish
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-06-12
Less

is smooth and brilliant. It resists sun and rain,
washing, rubbing, mud. Experienced motorists
who have seen bodies grow old and dull will con-
slider this Ever-Lustre finish the most welcome
improvement in years.
We combine it with enameled leather uphol-
stery-better than has ever appeared in a car at
this price. And with deep, hair filled cushions,
which means enduring luxury as we'll. This
years new body features mean much added cost.
But it means a revolution in finish. in comfort
and appearance.

Now Come Graceful Yacht Lines

Now our designers have spent another year
on this car. There was no way to improve the
chassis. Fifteen thousand cars, covering millions
of miles, had failed to develop one fault. Every
part and detail had been refined to the limit.
So in this third model they gave their time to
the body. They worked out this stately body,
with its graceful, sweeping yacht lines.
Every broken line is eliminated. The top
line of the body and the doors is leather bound.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-06-12

And they created this luxurious tonneau.
The sides are higher than before, the rear seat
is much wider, so it doesn't crowd three adults.
The car seats seven. with all the room that any,
body wants. And the extra tonneau seats disap-
pear when not wanted, doubling the tonneau
room.
You have never seen a body so impressive and
graceful as this Yacht-Linc Hudson body.

Now Comes the $3.50 Price

And now comes another big reduction. We
have built additions which will double our capa-
city. We have worked out countless new ideas in
efficiency.
We are building here now, under ideal condi-
tions, more high-grade cars than were ever built
in one shop. AS a result. we are giving you now
the greatest value ever known in a class car.
Last year we reduced this car $500. This year
we reduce it $2oo more. We are selling this
model 1870 below its startling initial p~rice-$4oo
below it. Yet a hundred makers, when they saw
the car, pronounced our first price impossible.

Remember Its History

Two seasons ago this new-type Hudson came
out at $I75o. Its announcement startled Motor
dom. Its price was pronounced impossible in a
high-grade Six. Its lightness-under 5000
pounds-was scoffed at as incompatible with
strength.
But the car was a Hudson, and Hudson stand
ards are high. Howard E. Coffin was its designer,
and he stands foremost in his field. He and his
whole corps had spent two years in testing and
perfecting it. And men were waiting for a class
car which would cut down operative cost.
So our first months output was sold before
anyone saw the car. When the car appeared
men hocked by thousands to it. And for one
whole year thereafter Hudson buyers waited
weeks for cars.
