.HUDSONS SHARE IN
 RACE PRIZE MONEY
Saunders Talks of Great Performance of the
 Super-Six

"The performance of the two Hudson super sizes that ran In the Chicago Derby race on the 11th has occasIoned much favorable comment in automopIre circles" said Bradley Saunders, Hudson distributor for Alabama, who was pres ent at the big event.
 The super sizes both shared in the prize money, finishing sixth and ninth, respectively. The mechanical efficiency of the super six has again ben strik- ingly demonstrated. Many of the big. foreign racing machines dropped out on account of motor troubles, while the Hudson cars went through the long 300- mile grind without 8 single stop except to change tires.
 Ira Vail drove the same reconstructed super six that won him third position in the Metropolitan trophy at sheepshead. He made only one stop. Fred Mccarthy drove Ralph Mulford's super six special. Four stops to replace shredded tires kept him from being closer up. At that, neither motor stopped once. The en- trants for this race had to make 90 miles an hour to qualify. The winners time was 9861 miles an hour. The super sizes made 1t In SA48 and 9o.Ss miles per hour, respectively

OVERLAND'S LATEST MODEL IS SAID ID BE A REAL WONDER GAR
New Engine Has Greater Horsepower and the Car Rides More Smoothly
 Than Other Cars

The announcement of a new model by The Willys- Overland Company, of Toledo, Ohio, came last week and, in the opinion of those who have already seen it, 1t is one of the most sensational developments in motor car building which has occurred during recent years. The most powerful low priced car in the world, is the de- scription given of this new product, and 1t is to be known technically as The wnlys-Oveland Company's New Series Model 75 B.
 The New Series Model 75 B Oveland nat urally bases it's claim to being the most powerful low priced car in the world on its motor and on the exhaustive tests, which it's builders insist have shown con- clusively it's superiority over anything of its kind ever manufactured heretofore. With a larger bore now 3$s inches and a 5-inch stroke, it develops 3114 horsepower at 1850 revolutions per minute. This per- fomance, at this low speed, in the opin- ions of those expert in automobile build- ing, promises the greatest possible power from the motor, with the smallest amount of wear on the motor itself.
 The motor, however, is but one of the many features of this inexpensive car which are causing comment on every side. Tn riding comfort it is said no car any, where near it's price can compare with it.. It is equipped with four-inch tires-some- thing practically unheard of now in cars of this type. The easy riding qualities of the car are further enhanced by canti- . lever rear springs, an important part of the equipment of higher priced cars. They reduce to a minimum the Jarring caused by driving over rough roads. This is due largely to the fact that the cantilever spring is attached to the axle of the car at the rear end of the spring, instead of in the middle. When the wheels strike a rough spot, the reaction is directed backward at a single angle instead of straight upward against the springs, as is the case with ordinary types of springs. The effect is the same as that of a glancing blow compared with a solid shock.
 The New Series Model 75 B Overland is one of the extremely few light cars, per- haps the only one in it's class, in which the maximum of speed can be utilized without rattling the cars frame to pieces and without jarrng the passengers out of their seats. Tn fact. the machine is sim- ply a roomy, comfortable, solidly built car constructed on light basis with such careful attention paid to distribution of weight and stamina of parts that it will hold the road, be it dry or slippery as the case may be.

EFF every Sunday could be made as
 pleasant as last Sunday, many of N those who sometimes look on Bir- mingham as a dead, dreary place would forget all such ideas.
 The barbecue of The Age-Herald at Bracewood last Sunday proved to be the very thing that most of those who live in Birmingham like. There was plenty Of amusement, good food. comradeship and enthusiasm. More than 15O advertisers were on the ground and, needless to say, the automobile men present will remem- Der the occasion for long while to come.
 Bob Badham, formerly of the Drennen Motor company, marched away to Mont gomery, a member of Battery c, last Monday If the old boy proves to be as good a soldier as he was an automobile salesman he is likely to come back with a few medals pinned upon his manly chest.
 J. H. Ham, district manager of the Frisco Motor corporation, is visiting the Flint Motor company. MT. Ham says that business was never better in the history of the firm with which he is con- nected.
 w. H. Young, of the Detroit Motor com pany, delivered seven Paiges and Patter- sons last week. He seems to be on fire and from the way he is going it will take more than the fire department to stop him.
 Five Packard trucks sold and delivered r the month of June is the record of Charles Denegre. Hard record to beat
 In the old days one often described a woman who had been caught in the rain as being drenched to the skin, her skirts dragging the grounds, etc." The modern chicken wears her skirts so high a driv- ing rain all but gives her complete shower bath. No chance to ruin anything but the hose and they are cheap.
 R. G. Elston of the Birmingham Motor company reports the sales of the Chew roet as being beyond all expectations. Two carloads sold and delivered last week and three more carloads on the way.
 W. D. Cargile, a Mitchell owner made a trip from Birmingham to Sheffield, a distance of 1E miles, on 12 gallons of gas last week. He also went distance of 37S miles over the worst possible roads on Racine tires with but one puncture. He reports the roads between Birming- ham and Sheffield as being in horrible shape. For 15 miles he was in mud up to the axel of his car.
 Is it possible every county in the state of Alabama is bankrupt? No matter what the answer is. All that Is nec- essary is for one to get out on some of these roads, his conclusions will be that each county must have been bankrupt for years.
 And still you occasionally hear some wise guy ask why it is the farmers of Alabama are not rolling in wealth. A. E. Wardle, south Alabama dis tributor of Goodyear tires, and a real fellow, is visiting Jewell Taylor and Frank Gafford. Odds are being laid on Automobile row that Wardle will be shown the city as no other south Ala bamian has ever seen 1t. The main bet is that if Taylor and Gafford can't show it to him no other men in the state can. When last seen Wardle looked to be in the pink of condition. Here's hoping he learns to run Frank s Ford in an emergency.
 W. H. Young has decided to sell cars instead of assuming the duties of man. ager of the Detroit Motor company

DODGE PERFORMS
 WONDERFUL FEAT

With O. K. Parker of Los Angeles at the wheel, Death Valley Dodge" the famous motor car that has performed more stunt trips than any other motor car in existence. few days ago de- scended to the bottom of the Grand Canyon of Colorado and returned to the rim under it's own power.
 This Is the first time in the history of motoring that this feat has ever been per- formed. Various daring drivers have looked over the ground with longing eyes, but were never able to convince them selves that the trip was possibility.
 But MT. Parker, who is one of the most famous drivers on the Pacific coast, determined to make the trial. Some months ago he visited the Grand Canyon and made g. careful survey of the several routes to the bottom. These are simply trails on which tourists descend on the back of burros. The journey to the bottom is such nerve-shaking one that many tourists are afraid to make the trip, even when conveyed by experienced guides

Armored Autos on Warship

Washington, July -(SpeciaD-Armored ed automobiles cfadled on the decks of war ships in sea-going rafts, for use of de- tachments of the United States Marine corps in shore operations, may soon be added to the regular equipment of naval vessels Experiments at the Boston navy yard a few days ago demonstrated that these indispensable cars can be slowed aboard by the means of electric cranes on war vessels, in very few moments, and that the deck space they occupy is very little. United States marines found great need for armored cars in their recent ope- rations in Mexico, Haiti, and Santo Do- mihgo, but the cars they used had to be shipped to them by regular naval trans ports.

BUY NOW AND SAVE MONEY, SAYS JEWETT Paige President Thinks Au- tOmObile Price Will
 Show Increase

"The coming season will not disclose any sensational novelties along mechni- cal lines in automobile construction" '" says Harry M. Jewett, president of the Paige-Detroit Motor Car company Tn view of past achievements in the world of mechanics, however, it would be foolish to say there will be no more innovations or inventions A genius may arise some day with a practical idea for motor cars that in it's way will be as astonishing as flying or wireless telegraphy. But l can say that the general principles of motor power as applied to automobiles and as exemplified in the six-cylinder car, are go- ing to be standard for some time to come Certainly there is not likely to be any radical engineering departures or changes in design this season.
 "The problems now are those of refine ments increase in luxury and the like; and also of manufacture and production. On account of the abnormal times we have been passing through, due to the war and other causes, manufacturing has been exceptionally difficult and the prob lem of material and supplies has been the hardest one to solve. AS everyone knows prices have risen to an extraordi- nary height.
 "The prices of cars now on the market, however, were based on market conditions that prevailed many months ago. There can be no guarantee, therefore, that these prices will continue, because it now costs a great deal more to turn out a car than it did one year ago and reputable manu- facturers who have worked for years to establish a standard of quality under their nameplates are not likely to sacri- flee that quality. The fact of the matter Is that car buyers who make their pur- chases right now are likely to save them selves considerable money"

Passing the Buck On
 the FliDDer Route
By ALLEN J. KREBs, JR.

I His popularity and excellent salesman ship assures his success in the selling line, where he will be of more benefit | to his concern.
 There was a quartet of automobile
 men consisting of Al Watkins, W. H Young, Charles Denegre and Coke Mat
 thews, at The Age-Herald picnic last Sunday who suffered from being sore
 and stiff on Monday. It has long been an established fact that when one sitt
 upon his launches on the ground and
 exerts all his persuasive powers in try ing to control the movements of cer- tain inanimate cubes, and persists in
 crying out all sorts of dire threats if
 said cubes do not obey him. he Is sure to be sore and stiff the next day. Es-
 pecially sore if his powers proved to
 be of no avail. This was the condition
 of these young men in the early part of the week.
 Denegre showed the boys how to pick ta horse. Of course he made them pay for hts instruction. Al Watkins wants to know how long he will have to wait to get revenge. Coke Matthews came
 near breaking his arm and permanent ly injuring his vocal chords. Young swears he had hole in his pocket. , W. O. Broyles. Chandler owner and booster, has left for an extended tour of the east and west in quest of furni- ture. He says if he was as sure of get ting the furniture he is after as he Is of having no trouble with his Chandler he would be satisfied.
 The Chandler boys go everywhere for the business and get it. Paul Crawford ;. ip Run Rnhartg in An

NEWS OF INTEREST TO AUTOMOBILE OWNERS AND DEALERS
LOW TIRE PRICES

In its current advertising in the news papers, the B. F. Goodrich company Is asking motorists to help the company in holding down and even further reducing the prices on automobile tires.
 The value of owning an automobile de- bends on the number of hours of actual use derived therefrom, and as the extent of use depends largely upon the price of gasoline and tires, the Goodrich company believes in making 1t possible for motor ist to use his car great deal by supply ing tires at reasonable cost

TIRE HINTS

MT. Loughan of the Birmingham Mo tor company, who is a great booster for Mchelin tires, says the wheels of a car should always run exactly parallel. Anything which prevents this will cause tire trouble" he explains ''Too much play in the axle end bearings, too great a freedom in the steering joints or pos sibly a bent spindle or axle end inva- riably exacts the penalty. Brakes, too, when they are out of order, damage tires. For example, if only one of the back wheels locks when applying the brakes, the tire on the slipping wheel will surely be injured.
 Another kind of tire trouble arises from weakened springs. Every time the car jolts badly the upper part of the tire rubs against the mud guard and as a result the casing is damaged.
 Then again, oil or grease, from leaky or overfflled tanks, should not be per mitted to reach the tires, because oil and other fatty substances are most injurious to rubber.
