fact that he was not IN the money

Babcock at Phoenix, by s W. Reese,

reason he offered a prize for the best

strongly evident in the retreading

economy IS lax there. too. Many a
car owner fails TO save what he
could by more careful repairs. Used
tires are easier 70 obtain now than

Good Judgment On Road

There has been a lot Of talk about
good Judgment p the road winning
In the FL Paso-FhoeniE road race,
says manager s. SummeriL. Of j. Z

on the road must naturally enter into
the result Oh my opinion the racs was
won BY Judgment displayed before
the race started. Judgment to have
a car iu condition so that all the parts
last marks the great racer Hugh
miller showed this ln a remarkable
degree. Nothing got by MILLER. Every
Part held up That's the secret OF his
winning. Naturally / am proud OF the
fact that Miller chose Diamond tires
and Won on them His Judgment IN
choosing all parts and accessories
proved correct His tires-Which bore
the bruut-nevar even hesltated but
carried him straight through 70 first
money. Again. j say that in my
opinion the great racer is stamped BY
what he does before the race more
than on the road"

It IS not appearance. speed. hll-cEmbing or

Look al the records. Hudson holds al that are

But speed records are not nearly as important as
are those which prove endurance. Many tests are
required. 10 be considered final proof
Look at these. A Hudson stock chassis was driven
1919 miles IN a hours The best previous record
fell 3A7 miles short of that.
The greatest endurance test ever made was that
