HUDSON USED CARS IN DEMAND.
Harry Houpt Il Moving BIG Stock
Quickly.

Good used cars are always scarce
even under ordinary conditions and this
year they are particularly hard to find.
as any one who has wandered up and
down Automobile Row in search of q
bargain on wheels will cheerfully admit.
For this reason the announcement by
Harry 5. Houpt. president of the Hud-
son Motor Car Company of New York,
that he has decided to slash his used
car prices from 10 to 20 per cent. has
attracted unusual attention not only
from prospective buyers but the trade
as we'll.
''The chief reason for the cut In prices
is not any decrease in 5mand for cars"
says Mr.. Houpt. but because we have
been compelled to vacate our used car
showroom at 1898 Broadway before
April Is. Between now and that date
in order to prevent congestion and
double or triple handling Of cars we
have decided on a price cut that will
insure quick reduction of our stock.
This stock of used cars, which in
cludes an attractive selection OF open and
closed rebuilt Hudson Super-Six cars, as
well as widely diversified lot OF other
standard makes. is now on view In the
basement Of 1s42 Broadway. with an
overflow exhibit in the new Hudson seq
street.
THE prices quoted on the cars are
so low that local and out OF town deal
ers are taking advantage OF the sale
to reelenish their stocks of used cars"

HOW U. S. EXPERTS
TESTED ALL TIRES
Officer Of the Motor Trans
port Corps Tells an Inter
esting Story.

Though perhaps every motorist real
ICES how sturdy the construction of ser
vioeable automobile tires must be to
Withstand successfully all the varied
strains to which they are subjected. II
is only when one knows officially of the
grueiling tests which the Government
applied in war time before approval
that thorough appreciation Of their re-
markabie resistance 10 possible.
We quote from a REPORT OF one Of the
officers Of the Motor Transport Corps
as to the nature of these tests:
1.-THE road test was very severe, being
over some Of the worst rcads In Mary
land. with an exceptionally heavy load
Of merchandise.
1.-THE chemical test was scientific, the
tire being put into tank of very strong
acids and salts, and kept therein for
forty-eight hours. After the chemical
test It was put through what Is known
as tho fire test. This simply means
that the tire Ia put into an oven and
baked, and the results showed whether
or not the rubber was properly cured.
'Tho overseas test Is the most inter-
esting and the severest Of them ali.
The tire Is put on a spinwheel with an
inner tube with hundred pound air
pressure and spun around on sort Of
a cam shaft at a terrific rate Of speed.
hitting ali kinds of broken metal and
glass, tacks and nails. and in fact sew
eral sorts OF sharp edges that would
penetrate through the rubber and fabric
"All the above experiments required
q new pneumatic tire of each make for
each test, and the tires were bought at
different points throughout the United
States. so that the manufacturers would
not get special made tires for tests"
An interesting sidelight, and one
which Is obviously OF great satisfaction
to It's producers. is the fact that ono

neers Test Engines.

None of us could perhaps imagine the

any other way than upon us poor NOR
tails. but Harry w. CASTOR, president OF
the Lexington Motor Corporation Of New
York, is Just back from flying visit to
the factory with the news that the COM
panys enterprising engineers are now
using this instrument to uncover engine
weaknesses.
This is apparently an entirely new
use for the stethoscope," says Mr.. Gas
ton. land the Lexington company is the
first to employ 1t, so far as I know, and
with splendid results, too. Indeed, our
engineers tell me that with its employ
ment they have found the only means
Of accurately passing on the condition
OF an engine. No engine Is allowed to
leave the factory until II has been sub
jected to most exhaustive tests with the
stethoscope.
These tests are conducted in the 'sl-
lent ROOM In the heart Of the big plant
in Connersville. Ind. This room is insu-
lated to the point Of being practically
sound proof.

tubes in his ears the testing engineer
goes over the motor with great care.

ercises. the motor Ia put through It's

concern from your accessory dealer and
you will find 1t satisfactory.
What proportion Of air to gasolene 10
used in the fuel mixture of present day
automobiles George Hawkins.
The modern engine will assimilate fue,
having from eight to fourteen parts Of
air to one part OF gas. The common
mistake Is to get the mixture too rich.
The mixture ought to have as near
fourteen parts air to one of gas as its
individual peculiarities will allow.
What Is the highest temperature
reached by the water cooled engine?
Does the air cooled engine have higher
temperatures than the water cooled en-
gine? Francis Dyke.
The highest permissible temperature
In the water cooled engine Is 2l2 Fair,
while In the air cooled engine the-heat
may run up to s25 degrees.

U. S. TIRES POPULAR ABROAD.
Some Interesting Reports of Per-
Torrance at Hand.

American tires are keeping step in
popularity in foreign lands with Ameri-
can automobiles. Last year the United
States Tire Company sent its product to
forty countries scattered throughout. the
world. The removal of shipping restric-
lions is expected to result in adding
twenty-five or, thirty countries to the
list during the current year.
( a few days ago an Iceland automo-
bile dealer paid visit to the New York
office of the United States Tire Company
and ordered full tire equipment for fifty
cars.
Turning to the Southern Hemisphere
II is noted that a recent issue of La
Ndcion the leading newspaper of San

a Scripps- Booth car in a test run OF

At the conclusion OF the run the driver
remarked: II must mention that dur

Big FORD PLANT
NEAR KEARNY, NJ.
Meadow Land Is Reclaimed
and Great Manufacturing
Plant Is Developed.

A great Ford plant has been developed
as IL by magic In the meadows near
I Kearny. n. J. The Passaic River alons
the site has been dredged to-a depth Of
twenty seven feet and the material from
the river bottom has been used to all
IN the vast acreage now used In turning
, out Ford cars.
On this site a most ambitious scheme
In plant erection. even by the Ford
Motor Company, is fast nearing COM
pletion. 1t is only a matter Of three
months since CASTOR Plaintiff. director Of
Ford affairs In the East, set plans in
motion and already scores OF acres are
built upon. 1900 men are at work and
the production of Ford cars 10 now going
ahead at the rate of l75 q day.
One Of the great buildings. which In
now used for main assembly. In 300 feet
long. Situated alongside the docks It
win eventually be devoted exclusively
t. the handling Of export business
pleted. Ford lighters convey the boxed
machines to vessels at Communipaw.
There are three buildings devoted to
body assembly, finishing and enanelling
ane running like the others on twenty
four hour basis. which takes In three
shifts of eight hours each. The tempo
rary power plant now In use will DO
replaced in n few weeks by permanent
structure. giving ample power for all
the projected buildings.
The site upon which the Ford Motor
Company has launched this great manu-
featuring enterprise takes In 12S acres
Approx mattel in the centre and at right
angles to the big plant, now under full
Roadway on the Passaio River, q still
greater building IL IN course Of con-
Gtruction. When finished II will be 300
feet long. $50 feet wide and four stories
in height. This VIII mean the employ
inent Of thousands Of moro mon and q
corresponding increase in the production
of the popular car. Eventually 500 Ford
cars day will be turned out Of tho
Ifcarny plant.
Mr.. PLAINTIFF expects that as soon as all
rlAnts are finished manufacturing Of the
various units will take place on a scale
sufficiently large to take care Of both
me domestic trade In this territory and
the growing export demand. Until then
most OF the essentials will come from
the West. At present 100 carloads q
week OF all materials necessary to pro-
duce Ford cars are arriving at the
Kearny plant. On the basis OF 175 cars
3 day enough materials are kept on hand
TO take care of a months supply.
The stock carried is valued at $780,
600. The investment at present in site
and buildings represents s2.5O0.ooo and
when complet' 0ill run to the huge sum
OF $500, 900. There are twenty-five
miles of railroad track on the site.
The establishment of the great plant
is of FIRST consequence to the business
community around New York on account
of the wonderful employment facilities
II offers and other commercial advan-
taEes. But to the man who makes his
living from the sale OF Ford motor cars
II is all important. for II means that
from now on he can go ahead and accept
all the orders he likes with the GER
tainty of filling them. To the great
mass OF Ford users 1t will be welcome
news to know that they can get prompt
delivery.
