ate quickly. to climb hills on high

The new car attains the luxury of
| motion. the silent gliding at any
speed in way superior TO anything
before known. Every reason for an
eight or twelve cylinder car has van
ished, and no other car in either the
six or the four cylinder class is in the
slinghtest degree comparable to this
new Hudson.
In beauty, luxury and finish the
Hudson Company has done its best
to reach the apex in the new car, both
in open and closed models of r7hich
there are six. 1t IS a masterpiece of
beauty. The car has new body lines.
The radiator is higher. The line OF
the car sweeps in an unbroken curve
direct from the radiator to the back
OF the rear seat. The windshield is
slanted. The car has the dividing
'cowl on the back of the front seat
All the upholstery is IN genuine grain
leather. No fabric leather is any
where employed. The wheel base
has been increased to 1251@". There
is more room than ever before. YET
the car retains its low, graceful,
'racy appearance, SO much desired.
A new vacuum feed system with
the supply tank in the rear of the car,
and the feed tank beneath the cowl
has been developed specially for the
Hudson Super-Six. Also new car
buretor has been developed which ia
marvel OF inventive skill. Only
one chassis is furnished for the Su-
per-Six, but on this chassis are built
six bodies, the phaeton, the touring
sedan, the cabriolet, the limousine,
the town car and the roadster. Prices
range from $1.375 for the phaeton to
s2,5O0 for the limousine and the town
car, these prices being f. o. b., De
troit.
During the last six months the cap
acity of the Hudson factory has been
practically doubled. The company
is now building almost every part OF
its car in its own factory.
Demonstrators and sample cars
are already being shipped and every
assurance is given of prompt delivery
to buyers Immediately after Feb. I
No one who wants a Hudson car will
have to wait for it. The output for
the year will be 10000 cars. A great
er number OF high grade cars than
ever before has been produced in the
history of the industry.

known cure and no assured treatment
for infantile paralysis. The specific or
ganism, it is now believed, has been
isolated, but the medium Of communica-
ton is not known definitely Many
theories have been advanced, without
positive acceptance by hygienic authori-
ties. The suspicion prevails that the
disease is communicated through the
air by inhalation, and is carried by the
blood from the lungs into the nerve
centers, which it primarily attacks. The
only precaution that can be taken is
to keep children isolated and prevent
their association in play or elsewhere.
Already orders have been given to keep
children under sixteen years from all
motion picture theaters in New York,
and it is possible that such establish
ments may be closed altogether if the
epidemic is not soon checked. Adults
may carry the disease without actually
developing it's symptoms, and thus the
problem of prevention is not confined
to the treatment of the children. The
situation is one of extreme gravity, and
the health authorities of New York are
facing a desperate battle to prevent a
disaster.

in which the fighting is now occurring
is q veritable network of highways.
Every small city is ganglion, so to
speak. From Peronne radiate no less
than eleven irst-class roads, with nu-
merous minor branches. From Roye
spread out nine roads. Nine also radi-
ate from Bapaume. st. Quentin, about
eighteen miles southeast of Peronne, is
the center of eleven roads, and Cam
brai sends forth no less than fifteen
arteries. The control of any one of
these centers by fighting force is thus
of the gravest consequence from mill
tary point of view.
The character of the country is well
shown by the fact that roads are gen
orally very straight. One notable in
stance of an undertaking highway oc-
ours just south of Peronne, where from
little way out of Amiens road runs
east to Vermand, just short of st.
Quentin, distance of thirty-six miles
in an absolutely straight line. The
Germans have made the utmost use
of this wonderful system of high
ways in developing their transport
service, and now it is the aim Of the
British and French to wrest from them
the advantage which they have so long
enjoyed, by Selling the road centers.

The Roads of Picardy.

? When the drive began in the west of
Europe the other day it was generally
regarded as British movement, but it
quickly developed that it was a com
bined attack by British and French
forces, their lines meeting just north of
the Somme. In the first reports the
main progress appeared to be by the
British, yet such subsequent develop
ments have indicated larger gain by
the French south Of the Somme, where
Gen. Joffre's troops have been carrying
through all obstacles and are now within
about four miles of Peronne. 1t ap-
pears that the reason for this differ
enes in progress lies in the fact that
the Germans, in anticipation Of the "big
push" had massed their forces chiefly
in front Of the British lines, ON the as
sumption that the French, occupied seri-
ously at Verdun, would not be in po-
sition TO undertake an offensive Jointly
with the English. If this is true there
Is no reason to question the compare
tive vigor or skill of the British move
ment
Doubtless had the Germans thought
that the French would move simulta
neously with their allies they would not
have left Peronne exposed as it has
proved TO be. Fer of all the points along
the front against which the drive is press
ing Peronne is the most important. It's
capture would undoubtedly mean ma
tcrial change in the German strategic
position. perhaps involving a with
drawai from Roye and Bapaume, which
lie almost equal distances from Peronne
south and north and slightly to the
west.
The control Of the highways and rail.
ways is matter Of the most vital con.
sequence in this campaign. With the high
development Of the motor truck a. q
means Of transport and supply IN army

consequently the roads are Of the ut

New York's Epidemic.

An exodus of children has begun from
New York, in flight from the epidemic
of infantile paralysis now prevalent in
that city. 1t is estimated that more
than 10000 children of all ages have
been sent out of town by their parents
in the last six days, and that many
thousands more will go quickly AL
ready fears are expressed that the chill
dren fleeing from New York may carry
the infection elsewhere, and it is posi-
bic that barriers will be erected against
the entrance of children from New York
into eongested eenters, such as Chicago.
Including yesterday 524 cases of in
fantile paralysis have been reported in
Greater New York, with total of 1875
deaths. Yesterday alone SO new dag
nosed and 81 new suspected cases were
reported, with Is deaths. The mortality
rate, which has been high from the be-
ginning of this outbreak, has been ris-
ing steadily. The general rate is lit.
tie less than 25 per cent, while Tues
days rate was over 27h per cent of all
tho cases reported, unquestioned and
suspected. The rate of deaths hereto
fore has been about 5 per cent, with 10
per cent Of the total number stricken
developing serious paralytic conditions.
No figures are yet obtainable as to the
paralytic effects in the present cpl
| demis.

ton 10 that ct present there is NO
