ESSEX MEETS NEED
FOR LIGHTER CARS
Demand For Greater Economy and
Efficiency Shows by Reduction in
Size of Racing Motors

"The general demand of the motor
ing public for greater economy without
the sacrifice of power. endurance or
comfort is the greatest factor behind
the announcement of the Indianapolis
speedway that the 500-mile race in 1929
would be for cars Of 1873 cubic inches
displacement, said K. w. Williams, To-
cal Essex representative today
"The Indianapolis announcement fol-
lowed the action of French officials in
cutting down the engine sizes Of cars
to be entered in the Grand Prix. The
previous limit at Indianapolis was 500
inches and the reduction is intended
to foster greater efficiency in passen-
ger cars along the lines exemplified by
the Essex.
"The record of the Essex is proof
OF what may be accomplished along
these lines. The Essex motor is only
twenty-nine inches in length, overall,
and the piston displacement is 179
inches. Nevertheless, due to its adj
vanced design, it develops more than
fifty-six horsepower. Thus it obtains
greater economy through lighter
weight without sacrificing power, per-
Torrance or endurance.
"As the history of automobile devel-
opment is largely due to the experience
gained in racing, it is only natural
that the Essex should have been de-
signed by engineers who have gained
worldwide fame for the endurance
and speed of their cars. Built in the
Hudson factory at Detroit, the Essex
is the perfected development of years
of successful achievement in building
fine motor automobiles. The result Is
an advanced type of efficiency, per-
Torrance and comfort.
For years the tendency has been to-
ward car of this character. This
is graphically illustrated by speedway
requirements in recent years. Most
of the races prior to 1911 were for
cars of unlimited piston displacement.
I'm 1911 and 1912 cars were limited to
500 inches which was further reduced
in to 450 inches in 1913 and 1914.
The standard of 1915, 1915 and 1919
was 300 inches.
This shows the constant search for
ed with performance and endurance,
greater llgnlneSS anu economy coHDln-
These results have been achieved in
the Essex through perfect balance
which eliminates destructive vibrat-
ion and thus lengthens the life of the
car and by improved design of the gas
passages which makes possible the
of every drop of fuel fed
to the engine.
1.-THE result is a car of long life,
light enough to be most economical in
upkeep and with such tremendous re-
serve of power that the trouble of
changing gears is almost eliminated

LAND FOR THE SOLDIERS.

When the civil war was over two
million mustered-out soldiers melted
into the civilian population as snow
flakes melt into the sea. Europe
predicted that America would have a
demoralizing struggle in bringing back
the soldier to sclf-support. But there
was no. struggle, and largely because
as soon as the soldier laid down his
gun he took up a free farm. CHEAP
land solved the problem.
When two million men come bach
from Europe to country with 'nC
free farms, there may be a real prob
lem in the assimilation of the soldiers
into the civilian population. To pre-
vent this the Lane bill is now before
congress, and likely to be passed be
fore adjournment.
There is before the New Mexico
Legislature n bill by which the stat
will become partner with the fedora

an the DAVIS News"

Senator William NJ. Calder. who is
in line for congratulations today on
the fiftieth anniversary of his birth,
is New Yorks junior representative in
the upper branch of congress. Sena-
tor Calder had ten years service in
the house, representing the Sixth New
York district, before he won election
to The senate, and while he never led
in shaping party or national policies,
he was serviceable agent of his con-
stituents, and a loyal follower of his
party. His education was gained in
the public schools and at the Cooper
institute, New York. By vocation he
has been a builder or contractor dur
ngs most of his career. AS an en-
ployer of labor, and as person
aware of the economic advantages of
conservation of sunlight for industrial
uses, he became an early champion
of the daylight saving plan, and one
of his first acts after entering the
senate was the introduction of bill
faVoring the plan.

it might be best of all simply to
codify the health laws already on the
statute books and give health board
power to enforce them.
First of all, the bill should be so
changed as to cut out a lot OF the
expenses provided for, even as amend
ed by the committee. There is no ex-
cuse for sanitary engineer or for a
bacteriologist. If the services OF such

experts should be required, either
could be had by application to the
New Mexico College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts. Also there IS an
expert and reliable bacteriologist in
Albuquerque, whose fees are very
moderate. 1t is doubtful if more than
$3.50 a year would be required in
fees for the services of both the sani-
tary engineer and the bacteriologist,
But if placed on salaries such officers
of the health service would be idle
nearly all the time.
\ board composed Of two physicians
and three laymen would be better. An
executive secretary and a trained
nurse could do all the work required
at headquarters. and the president Of
the board and the other members
should be paid on per diem and OK
penses basis.
AS there is a rage for the creation
of new salaried positions, probably
nothing so sensible and economical
as here suggested will be done. But
whatever is done, compulsory vaccina-
ton for adults, wherever there is
smallpox epidemic. should mot be
stricken from the bill. That would
do far more harm to the public
health of New Mexico than a public
health service, without such power
as is now conferred by the law on
county and city physicians, could
possibly do good.
Any health board should have the
! fullest power to deal with conta gions,
and the exemption of conscientious
directors" from compulsory vaccina-
ton would not be offset by authority
to quarantine the objector. after he
had come down with smallpox and
had spread it thereby.
Talk that the flu would not have
been so severe had there been pub
| lie health service in New Mexico may
be answered by the statement that in
the cities and states where the health
laws were most rigid and the powers
given by them enforced to the limit
the death rate, by some queer coin
cidencc, was most severe. For cx-
ample in New York and Massachu-
setts little was done by the health
authorities except to print and dis.
tribute advice regarding sneezing in
public places and the ventilation Of
sleeping rooms. In both states the
death rate was comparatively low,
But in Chicago and Philadelphia
where the schools and the churches
and the theaters were closed, the
death rate was high

can call his own, two suits of under

men do not want charity, but it does
seem right that our government could
give our soldiers sufficient sum with
which to replace his clothing and al
low them to retain their old uniform
as souvenir. l know the sense of
justice in the heart of every true
American man and woman will agree
that while the success or failure of
the league of nations is of great inter-
est, and vitality important, that also
the men in France, Germany, Russia

dition possible, should be given some
consideration, and not deprive them
of their clothing, as well as an oppor-
tunity to get help from the service of
the United States employment bureau.
Should Influence Congress.
I believe that if the people inter-
ested in the welfare of our soldiers
would write personal letters to con-
gressmen, some benefit might result.
