FRICTION ALMOST NIL

That's the great fact about the Hudson Super-Six. Its
chiefest supremacy lies in endurance. The Super-Six in
vention added 80 per cent to our motors efficiency, solely by
reducing vibration. 1t reduced motor friction almost to nil
By nearly ending friction it has nearly ended wear. And
all these worlds records are due mainly to that fact. The
motor is small and light. 1t is similar in size to scores of
light SKIES. But the Super-Six invention has made it 80 per
cent efficient. 1t has made it fully twice as enduring.
You will never want your car to do what the Super Six
has done. But you do want the car which shows this endur-
ance. And every months use will increase your regret if
you fail to get the Super-Six.

No two classes have the same quail

It is mark of confidence in Uncle

when in reality they bear about the

like the adulterated foods. certain

with his mark he has made very

A poor wreck of humanity with a

since found himself in possession of

tion after the shock was to buy a
whole lot of bait and go away off on

mother came over him, and, like good
fellow, he resolved to send her FIVE
dollar gold piece.
His first surprise came when he
found that his trade dollars. which con-
tanned more silver than do the silver
dollars. were valued only as bullion
and his whole Sc was worth only
$3.50. He had overlooked the fact
that when those dollars were issued.

to indorse them or to give them any
monetary value other than their silver
content.
So he Gid with his So what his Uncle
Samuel had done-he went through
q little transaction in high finance
which makes one blush for him. He
mixed his dollars up with some stand
ard silver dollars and persuaded
small storekeeper to give him bills for
them. 1t happened that these bills
were silver certificates.
He tried to induce the treasury de-
partment to take them in exchange for
the gold piece intended for his mother,
but the treasury department politely
told him that. while the law provided
that the secretary Of the treasury
should maintain gold and silver on

to mean that silver certificates could
not produce gold coin.

been the signal for renewed reports
that Roumania at last is about t.

Roumania already has Joined the a.

the march Of Russian army through
Roumanian territory.
Major Moraht, the German military
critic, also believes that Roumania u

an ultimatum to Bucharest from Ger.

on the side of the entente would mean

could give would be Of an important
