Gravel Road Not Adapted.

"a gravel road is not adapted to
heavy traffic and will only carry light
traffic for nine or ten months of the
year, and during the freezing and
thawing months will rut and soften up,
and no amount of work or care will
prevent this. We have done an enor-
nous amount of work on the sections
in Anne Arundel county as well as in
Calvert county. For instance. we placed
over 10000 loads of gravel on the Anne
Arundel county section and dragged
each mile of this road some seventy
odd times during the year. In Calvert
county there is a different soil and a
different kind of gravel. and while the
roads in that county have rutted they
have not broken through to the extent
they have in Anne Arundel county.
1.-The only solution of the road prob
lem south of South river is to build
this road of concrete or some perma-
nent material, which, owing to the fact
that all the material will have to be
imported into the county at great cost,
we found will cost about $350,C00 to
replace the gravel section in Anne
Arundel county and about 100000 in
Calvert county. making a total of $780,
600 for resurfacing the entire road
from South river to Solomons island,
a distance of fifty-five miles"

AUTOMOBILES AS AIDS
AT INAUGURATION TIME

One of the most important features
in connection with the duties of the
public order committee during the
inaugural ceremonies last week was
the policing of the District of Columbia
with automobiles March and 5, on
which dates 122 motor cars acted as
an adjunct to the metropolitan police
depa rtment. 1t was the first time in
the history of the National Capital that
scout cars were used in such an eX-
tensive manner and the results proved
most satisfa ctory to the officials of the
District and police department. Maj.
Raymond W. Pullman, superintendent
of police. was elated over the success
of the scheme, especially in view of the
fact that it ena bled him to give great
er protection to President Wilson and
the citizens and property OWNERS of the
District With the aid of these motor
cars his plan of policing the city and
protecting the President was perfect.
! Showing the completeness with which
Maj. Pullman carried out his plans,
he assigned a car the day of the pa
lrade to precede two squares in advance
of the police escort from the Capitol
to the White House. This car was des-
ignated in special orders as a signal
car and was driven by D. Bradley
Gish, who was accompanied by How
ard s. Fisk, chairman of the subcom-
mittee on automobiles of the public
order committee: Ringgold Hart, Mai
Pullmans private secretary, and Ed
B. HesSe, chief clerk of the police de-
partment. After this car passed a
given point no person was permitted.
either with or without pass, to cross
the lines. which order was rigidIy en-
forced. Chairman Fisk praises the ex-
eellent service rendered by the mem
bers of his committee, and the mo-
| torists and dealers who assisted in
making the scout work a success. He
is preparing a report. which will be
submitted to Maj. Pullman tomorrow

Overcomes the Poor Gasoline

Hard starting and wasteful gasoline con-
sumption due to cold weather and the low
grade gasoline are overcome Radiator and
hood covers are not needed on the new Hud-
son Super-Sixes even in the coldest weather.
This device has been in use on hundreds of
Hudson Super-Sixes during the coldest winter
weather. It's effectiveness has been proved. 1t
is as easily operated as the damper on stove:
Low grade gasoline gives low mileage and
is wasteful and harmful to the engine, unless
perature.

Think What a Year Has ShoUn

Remember what was claimed for the
Super-Six one year ago Then we had only Our
own records TO show-records proving the
Hudson Super-Six the fastest stock car built.
We then had established only the Ioo-mie
and the one-hour records for a fully equipped
stock touring car But since we have won the
24-hour record for stock chassis, the Trans
continental Run both ways, the fastest stock
chassis mile, and have outsold any other high
grade car in the world SO if you want fine
car that out-performs any other car that is
built your choice must be Hudson Super-Six.
