MOTOR CARS NOW
WINTER NECESSITY
Hudson Super Six Helped FOs-

Use.

When every automobile was a "one
lunger"-apd that was only a compar-
atively short time ago-the first touch
Of frost on the pumpkins" witnessed a
general exodus OF cars from the streets
and highways to safe winter lodgings.
In those days automobiles observed
the same alternating habits as grizzly
bears and ground hogs. and while own
ers impatiently awaited the coming OF
spring and dealers snapped funny"
stories at the village emporium or city
club. the builders occupied themselves
each year with the designing OF brand
rev models.
"One OF the most potent factors in so
changing this condition OF affairs that
an automobile has become even more
OF r. necessity in winter than IT is in
summer" said Harry s. Houpt to-day.
has been the policy of the Hudson com
pany in standardizing its cars and de-
signs. Few people know that besides
being the largest builder of fine cars in
tho world Hudson is also the largest
builder OF fine enclosed body types
having been n pioneer in this field.
Now all OF the Hudson models are
built for use the year round The shut
tiers on the radiator keep the engine
working at It's most efficient tempera
ture oven in the coolest weather. a
thermostat on the water circulation sys-
tenn automatically regulates the flow
also facilitates winter driving by en-
abling the motor after starting to

Hupp Motor Car Corporation.
Few people understand" said Mr..
Watson. the vital part that the science
p. of metallurgy plays not only in. the
&. designing OF the automobile but in its
actual manufacture and service.
At the Hupp factory every piece of
material that is shipped into the plant
has to undergo certain fixed laboratory
tests as to its chemical. physical and
structural qualities. These tests are
. based both on Government standards
and our own experience before the ma
teral is accepted for manufacturing
purposes.
Nowadays, as many people doubtless
know, the Government will furnish to
any manufacturer a sample of almost
any product he desires accompanied
+. with detailed analysis Of the material
and samples which show an average
standard and which give the manufac-
turer a working basis on which to check
the correct proportion OF his solutions.
Every piece Of metal that comes into
the Hupp plant Is checked against the
Government sample as standard. and
on It's chemical analysis is based ac-
ceptance or rejection OF the material.
For instance the hardness of the steel
10 tested by two very interesting pre-
cision instruments. The surface hard
ness is tested by a scleroscope. a
miniature tup hammer which is dropped
from fixed height to the surface of
the metal After the little hammer Is
dropped It's rebound to figure on an
arbitrary scale indicates the hardness
OF the metal. The scale shows the
CORE spending figures in points OF the
=. elastic limit of the material.
While the scleroscope proves the sur
face hardness OF the metal it does not

the interior structure. For this pur-
pose another instrument Is used-the
~, Rrinncll--a hardened steel ball. ten mill
, meters in diameter. The material to
be tested is applied to this ball with
a load Of $500 pounds, and the in
dentation made by this load is discovered
by measuring it with a microscope. The
results show the tensile structure all
the way through the metal. This test
Is applied to gears, connecting rods,
cam shafts and to all the high duty
parts Of the car.
Each of these laboratory tests is
subjected 70 a rechecK. For instance.

lfnrcfnll Prcsa Nlrcn,l

a cheerful story of one Of the Boil
shevik coups that terrorized Berlin
throughout November and December is
told by the "Berliner Tageblatt." In
the first days of December the Soldiers
ard Workmcns Council at Neuk0lln, a
Berlin suburb, declared for the immc-
diate socialization Of all industry. CAP
ital and other property. The Reds in
Berlin hailed the event with great en-
thusiasn and steps were taken in DIFF
tereht sections to follow the example.
Thus it happened that when a manu-
Iacturcr, +. Picchatzek, appeared one
morning at his plant, tool factory in
the Secstrasse. he found the Bolsheviki
IN power and himsei a barely tolerated
outsider The "Tageblatt" writes:
AS N all industrial plants, on the
triumph OF the revolution a workmen's
council had been organized at the tool
factory Of the firm of +. Pechatzek.
This council was to assist the proprie-
tors in the management of the enter
Lrse. On November 25 Joint confer
ence was scheduled to settle certain
demands Of the workers. When Mr..
Plechatzck arrived at the plant at about
II a. m. he found to his surprise all
machines Idle On inquiring he was
told by workers delegate that the en-
ployes decided to walk out and not to
resume work until all their demands
were granted. Piechatzek protested,
but was dumbtoundcd when the speaker
OF the Workmcn's delegates, one Otto
Fischer, a youth Of 81, informed him
mat the plant had been taken over by
the Workmcn's and Soldiers Council
say IN regard to the management.
Threatened to Blow Safe
Without further pareying Fischer
took possession Of the office, ordered a
guard to watch the clerks and de-
manded the opening of the safe. As
this last demand was fatty re used.
FISCHER calmly announced that if the
keys were not handed over to him bv
6 p. m. he would blow the safe open.
Plechatzok was prevented from using
the telephone in his office and was told
that his bank had been notified to close
has account"
Piechatzck and his partner, who had
arrived III the meantime. hurried now
to the Office Of the executive council Of
the Berlin SoNlets. Here the chairman's
assistant denounced the happenings at
the plant as an anarchistic outrage and
Nscher's conduct as contrary to the
rules and policies of the Soviets The
Official tclephoned to the factory and
told the delegates there that Fischer's
measures were void and that the pro-
prietors should be reinstated without
delay. When, however, Piechatzek and
hls partner arrived at the factory they
found conditions unchanged. The mar
ratlvc continues:
Suddenly Fischer, accompanied by
an armed marine, appeared in the Office
and displayed an order signed by Miller
and Molkenbuhr, the chairmen of the
executive council, transferring to him
full authority to take possession Of tho
plant and to stop all payments. Bran
dishing THIS document, Fischer now dc
