Our Hudsons Are
About All Gone
Number of Super Skies prices limited Practically
all makers have already increased prices

We now see the last of the Hudson
Super-Six cars we will be able to sell at
present prices. The factory has given US
definite allotmentS On at least two mod
els they have notified US that final ship
mentS will be completed within two
weeks
When those cars are sold it means that
the last Hudson Super-Six to be had at
the present base price of $3.50 for the
passenger phaetOn has gone. Then
a new price will become effective. That
price will be based upon material costs
that are much higher than were those OF
the present production.
AS a single example of the greater cost
of an automobile today as compared TO
the cost of a year ago consider the item OF
iron. Its low price for the years 1915
1917 was Si227 a ton. Today II sells
at $500 ton. Iron is used in making
the finest steelS. the frame, the motor, the
body, etc. Its use in a fine automobile
constitutes a large item. You can get
from this some idea OF the tremendous
need for automobile price increases.
Then when you think of the number OF
cars that have gone up in price in the last
few months YOU get further understand
ing of the great opportunity you have IN
buying a Hudson Super-Six now. More

Each city and village passes ordi-

than fifty makers have advanced prices
within the past two months. Cars which
formerly sold at 81, 200 and 81 800 now
cost about as much as Super-Six There
was no question as to which was the pre-
ferred car then. though because Of the
lower price many such cars were sold.
Now that there is no price advantage,
Hudson sales are at their highest People

son offers the greatest value on the mar

would like to have you settle. Which
is the correct word to apply TO an
omobile-engine or motor?

Originally il was called engine"
in this country. But the English
term motoring" came into use as it
was less clumsy than 'automObil

habit OF saying motor" or engine"
indiscriminately Recently, however,

the public to call it the engine"

early answer in your motorist col
umn will be appreciated.
A READER
If magnetic is correctly set and
wired there should be no such trou-
bic. Set No. l cylinder on dead
center, just before power stroke. The
circuit breaker points should be
Just opening and the distributor
arm in contact with the distributor
segment leading TO No. l spark
plug. The rest Of the wires should
go to the spark plugs according TO
the firing order. The popping may
be due 10 the carburetor giving too
lean a mixture or to a leak in inlet
manifold Have magnetic wiring
inspected by an expert before chang
ing carburetor adjustment The
engine would run with a timer, vi
brating coils and FIVE dry cells, but

Tines am a regular reader Of
your paper and always read your
motor column, as I have a car of my
own and get much information from
same. Would appreciate advice on
the following: l want 10 get a spark
plug pump to initiate my tires. but
a garage man told me he did not
think them good, as they force gas
Oline into the inner tube. This
do not understand, so 1 ask for help.
Would like also TO know if this can
injure my engine in any way? My
car is a 1917 Dodge. What is the
size of the spark plug? Now and
then | notice a little oil around one
or two plugs Do I need new piston
rings? One garage man says need
to have diversified rings put in, and
another one says 1 do not, for If my
rings were at fault my engine would
miss. This il never has done TO my
knowledge. The car has only been
run 1920 miles Will diversified
rings give any more power. ] thank
you for the above information.
NIX
Spark plug pumps have proven
themselves satisfactory, but in time
they leak compression and may in
lure the tire. It could not possibly
harm the engine. Your best plan
would be to have a regular pump
set on some part Of the engine. II
would always be ready and would
give every satisfaction. II oil shows
around spark plugs use a slightly
heavier oil. If this does not remedy
trouble, new rings should be install
ed. If cylinders are scored they
must be reground. Oversize rings
will not be necessary unless cylin-
ders have been reground. They will
restore the power lost by leakage,
but will not give more power than
the engine had at first. Use all leak
proof rings or at least one at top OF
each piston. The spark plugs are
the usual size and the thread is A.

Carry a small can Of gasoline
with which TO prime cylinders
through the relief valves. This
puts the gasoline directly into
the cylinders where it can reach
the spark plugs and so make
starting more certain. In win
ter ether is sometimes necessary
as il evaporates readily at any
temperature and gives a very
snappy explosion.

Some carburetOrs carry a de-
vice to open the spray nozzle
while starting engine. Make
sure that this is connected to the
printing rod on the dash. The
nozzle may open enough for
summer starting but not for
winter starting Change the de-
grees of lift, if necessary.
