The Way to Get Delivery
OF a Hudson Super-Six
The Automobile Which Men Said Would Haze
No Ripal Still Outselis All Other Fine Cars

years You will find the part the Super Six
played excells that Of any other stock car or
special car or stock materials and design.
Or observe Hudson performance on any
city street or country highway. Super,
Sixes are everywhere. They belong to peo-
pie who demand the most of their cars.
They are the favorite of the hard, fast driy-
ers and of those who demand comfort and
reliability.
There are more Hudson closed and chauf-
feur driven cars than of any other flne
grade They are the choice Of those who
want elegance and distinction.
The service of those $4,000 earlier Super
Skies accounts for today's demand.
How to Get a
Hudson Super-Six
Place your order now. Don't delay even
if you can't get immediate delivery of the
model you want.
There is great demand for all good cars.
There never was such shortage Eagerness
for prompt delivery has caused many to ac-
cept makes that were not even second
choice to Hudson. Avoid the possibility of
disappointment by ordering your Hudson
now. Accept the earliest delivery you can
obtain. Remember that the car you buy
must serve you long time and that a
slight inconvenience in delivery now will
be Offset by the satisfaction your Hudson
will give.

Dollar Diplomacy by Which the
Bandits Grow Fat.

1t was long the custom of the
Bryan and Wilson Democrats to sneer
at the so-called Dollar Diplomacy OF
the Republican party: that policy
which held that nation making
friends in the outer world need moi
be above making money too.
Putting aside the Republican va
riety Of Dollar Diplomacy, Secretary
BRYAN, when he became head of the
Department of State under WOODROW
WILSON, started new kind of Dollar
Diplomacy by taking on some further
ALTERATION: His policy became Dip
lcmatic Desks and Dollars for De
serving Democrats. He filled the dip
lomatic service with gentlemen who
had supported him at so many ma
tional conventions.
BRYAN Is out. Some Of his crea-
lures remain in office. But there is
now q third kind of Dollar Diplo-
macy under Mr.. WILSON. 1t has
been functioning in Mexico for some
time. Our soldiers captured by ban
dts are released when this Admins
tration pays some thousands in gold
to their captors, An agent for New
York corporation is reported to have
been released from Mexican captivity
last Sunday upon the payment OF
. mn 70 tho h,i erondo
This is Dollar Diplomacy, not with
a vengeance but without one. "Slap
u.s." says Mr.. WILSON'S Administers
ton to all the nations, "and we will
pay you to stop slapping u.s." Why
not transfer the work Of the State
Department to the Secretary Of the
Treasury?

sight fills them with foreboding. The
men and women who have a clear
conception of public duty, who desire
the preservation Of public order, who
oppose revolution, recognize the great
encouragement President WILSON'S
abusive language about the serious
statesmen doing their sworn duty In
the Senate has given to the turbulent
In the country, and they look forward
with dread to the ultimate effects it
may produce.
For the sake of argument acquittlng
President WILSON of any real purpose
to add fuel to the fame Of revolution
airy propaganda in the United States,
accepting as mere rhetoric his more
violent periods, the fact remains that
as has been demonstrated In Seattle,
his course has given aid and comfort
tc enemies of society in every corner
Of the land, and he will be received
by them wherever he goes with the
same kind of enthusiasm a philoso-
pher of blameless life but added ideas

before a convention of burglars the

BANK CLERKS OVERLOOKED.
They Have Had to Work While
Others Celebrated Our Victory.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sr: On
all the holidays from armistice day to
the Pershing parade there was one class
of workers who were denied the prlvi-
lege Of Joining in the celebrations. These
we're the thousands of bank clerks
throughout the city. And yet 1t was
through the banks and the unselfish and
hard work attendant upon all the Liberty
Loan drives which the clerks performed.
the inside work with all Its detail and
without the stimulus of rallies and brass
ba nds and oratory that made 1t possible
to keep the wheels well oiled and thus
supply the myriad necessities of our
armies. But they were simply given a
formal thank YOU and forgotten.
Governor Smith could have remem-
bered them and proclaimed a bank holi-
day for the parade of the Twenty
seventh or the Sixty-ninth or this last
one, probably the greatest parade that
this generation will see, and thus have
shown the States appreciation of work
well done.
Had he done so know the bank clerks
would have been grateful for the oppor-
tunity to see our men march by and feel
that they too had helped to bring them
home victorious. A BANK CLERK.

Cocoa Party in Boston.

Boston had a remarkable tea party in
1773. In which the tea was mixed with
the waters OF the harbor.
The FIRST local AFFAIR since then having
q resemblance to II was a cocoa party a
few afternoons ago in which half a ton
of cocoa was dumped into city scows TO
be mixed with the waters of the harbor
soon after daylight.
Ono difference between the two events
is that the tea party was unofficial, de-
cidedly unlawful and carried out by make
believe Indians. while the cocoa party
was authorized by the pure food branch
OF the Department of Agriculture at
Washington and superintended by Deputy
United States Marshal Charles A. Ban
croft. who hal no occasion for assuming
the disguise of a red man.
Tho spot where the tea was thrown
overheard and tho site OF the city dunn
where the cocoa was shot through a trap
door in the wharf are scarcely more than
hundred feet apart.
The cocoa destroyed the other day
with three or four tons more TO be dumped
later. was seized last April from Erocers
and other dealers all over Boston, having
been found by the pure food authorities
to contain some adulterant which, II
not highly injurious, is not considered
conducive to longevity"

We know the autumn is at hand, fol
the first crop of health hints is har.
vested. They are numbered, and OF
course there are fourteen Of them, for
everything nowadays except porcu'
pine has fourteen points. Let US con.
tent ourselves with four points:
al Obey all regulations Of the city
health authorities.
"2. Avoid crowds.
"3. Stay away from any one having
a cough or a cold.
"a. Eat three uniform meals a day,
and avoid a breakfast of mere coffee.
and mere piece of cake or some
thing of the kind for lunch"
1t is possible that a wealthy hermit,
fond Of reading the Health Depart
ment ordinances and the happy en-
ployer of a good cook, could comply
with these suggestions.

before him suspected of belonging to
a gang which had held up and robbed
many citizens recently, greeted them
with official good nature, gave them
cigarettes, good food, decently clean
cells and bedding, and while they were
yet wondering at these unanticipated
humanities, and 1t may be asking
each other when the trough STUFF
would be administered, said to them
coaxingly, "Well, boys, identiications
have been pretty strong. Why not
come through clean?" They "came
through" clean.
Undoubtedly Captain WALSH holds
crime and criminals In as great dis.
esteem as did any police official who
in the old headquarters in Mulberry
street may have beaten a sleepless,
hungry wreck, If such were the meth
cd of the third degree. But his dis
esteem does not affect his judgment
of what is the most efficient means
of getting desired results. 1t may be
that If the prisoners he treated had
been deprived of sleep, Of food, and
beaten they would have revealed
much information useful to police
work, and maybe not. We incline to
the latter opinion.

GAMBLING IN PUBLIC.
A Crap Game Carried On Near Pub.
lie School in Jnwood.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-sir: In
finding f1fty-nine dice rollers guilty of
disorderly conduct Chief City Magistrate
McAdoo said: IF had my way 1 would
send you all 20 the workhouse. Really,
Il can't walk through Mulberry street
without stumbling over boys and young
men who are playing African golf"
The Chief Magistrates remarks make
1t apparent that Mulberry street has Its
share Of crap shooters, but in this re-
spect the well known street has nothing
on certain spot In Inwood which is
the rendezvous of coterie OF African
golf players OF various ages on certain
! evenings and practically every Sunday.
In fact the Inwood crap game Is more
or less of a scandal. To make matters
worse the police have done little or
nothing to break II up, although recently
a policeman did disturb the players, but
they came back fifteen minutes later and
began to roll the bones as strenuously
as ever
The crap shooters who frequent this
game come from all parts of the Inwood
section. They range from mere boys TO
mature men. Obviously the latter have
ITO scrupieS against taxing money from
the boys when the roll of the dice indi-
Gates the youngsters have lost. Where
the boys get the money with which to
indulge In the game Is problematical, for
some Of them are schoolboys who can
Ill afford to gamble.
Their gathering place is In the court
formed by the various buildings of
School 81 on Academy street be-
tween Broadway and Vermilyea avenue
1t is an ideal location for the reason
that It is sheltered from view although
easy of access from a vacant lot ad-
Joining on the south. In case of pur-
suit the players can escape by vaulting
over the fence on Academy street or run
ming through the lot to Broadway.
Residents In the immediate vicinity of
the school have been aware of the con-
ditions for some time, but the police
haven't. It is time that they woke up
and put an end to the game, which is
6emoralizing the younger element of

One OF Farragut's ships.

The old sloop Of war Richmond,
which is to be dismantled at Phila-
delphia, led FARRAGUT's feet at Vicks-
burg, followed his flagship Hartford
in the passing Of the batteries Of Port
Hudson and was third in the line at
Mobile, coupled with the Port Royal.
Her commander In the first two fights
was Captain JAMES ALDEN, but in the
Mobile battle the Richmond was in
the charge Of Captain THORNTON A.
JENKINS, of whom the Rear Admiral
said in a report to GIDEON WELLEs:
He carries out the spirit Of one Of
Lord CoLLNawooDs best sayings:
Not to be afraid of doing too much
those who are seldom do as much as
they ought"
The Richmond, like JENKINS, did
lot, for since her good service in the
civil war she has been used as train
ing ship for fifty years. May her dis
tributed bones rest in peace.

PAY OF BRIDGE TENDERS.
They Ask $25 n Week for Seven Full
Days of Work.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: The
pay OF the bridge tenders. as printed in
the CITY Record, for 1920 Is $3.50 per
aDnum. They are now receiving $1,120
per annum, or less than $40 a day.
They are in for $40 increase, or little
ever two cents an hour or eighteen cents
day.

resolutions for holidays when the pa
rades were held to receive the Twenty

plcyees, never grumbled for even a days

twenty straight in September and then

Well, we are in the budget for 51s per
cent increase. They know that we have
to buy our own uniforms. rubber boots,
uniform caps We must pay s35 car
fare a year. We must pay the same
high prices for food and clothing, and
the landlords are raising rents. We
underpaid city employees, working faith
fully for a number of years, out in all
kinds Of weather night and day shifts,
are we not deserving of at least SIS a
week. or $1,000 per annum? Other cities
and States are paying bridge tenders
better wages than does New York city.
Business men are paying their labor
ere an average OF 81 a day. We are
getting lower wages than Chinese laun-
drymen. Grave diggers are demanding
$3.50 a day, window cleaners want sac
a week. newspaper wagon drivers earn
over $40 a week. This year bridge
tender received 800 increase and his
landlord boosted his rent 50 a month.
I hope the members of the Board of
Estimate at the public meeting will take
notice of the bridge tenders salaries.
All they are asking for is $25 a week,
working seven days a week. We want
enough to live on. Some men have four,
five and six children to support
