ALL SEVEN new
HUDSON TYPES
OF MUCH BEAUTY
Enclosed Body Styles Set
Higher Standard Than
Ever Before for
A.,

"The new hudson Super-six viii
came in seven body types more
notable for their beauty than ever
tsfore," said Guy L. Smith.
"And just as the chassis repre-
septs the perfected development Ct
a decade of achievement, so do
these models represent the highest
ideal Of the coach builders art. The
development Of beauty, artistry and
utility in the Hudson has kept pace
with the perfection of mechanical
detail.
Hudson designers were among
lie first to recognize and satisfy tie
craving of TIL: public for refinement
and distinction in motor cars. Skill
ed Hudson artisans were pioneers in
investing the automobile with that
dir of dignified quality which mark
ed the fine old family coach Of d
generation ago.
"The century-old Of fine coach
building was revived by Hudson in
the belief that the particular >rneE
and women of today are just a.
proud of the appearance Of their
cars as the old aristocracy was
proud of the exclusive features OF
the family coach
ASA result, new standards Of
beauty have been created each year
until Hudson cars have become as
famous for their distinction of APP
pearance as for their power and Ell
du.ance. The constant aim, how
ever, has been to combine utility
with beauty. No Hudson body has
ever been bull: merely for the pur-
rose Of having something different.
Every model has filled a real transr.
portation need.
This is true in = supreme degree
Of the seven new body types-the
fcn. and seven-passenger Pheetons,
Sedan, Coupe, Cabriolet, Touring
Limousine and Limousine. There is
greater economy and practicability
with the utmost in luxury and COM
fort in every one of these new
models"

Old Oil for Springs.

Most car owners drain the oil out
Of the crankcase about three times a
year, and as general rule this used
oil is simply thrown away. BY add
ing 50 per cent of kerosene to this
waste oil an excellent spring lubri-
cant is obtained. The method Of
using the mixture is to spray it over
the springs once a week. The oil
furnishes the lubricating means.
while the kerosene keeps the springs
free from rust.

OMAHA HAS BIG
OPPORTUNITY IN
PROPOSED drive
Now Possible to Acquire En-
tire River Front by Expe1-
diture Of Comparatively
Small Sum.

In the proposed river-front, Oma-
ha has an opportunity unsurpassed
by any other American and even
most European cities. BY the ex-
penditure Of comparatively small
sum of money. it will now be posi-
Bile to acquire the entire river-front
from Fontenelle forest (Childs
Point) on the south to Ponca creek
on the north, exceptions Of dollars
for an opportunity such as is now
presented to Omaha. Chicago has
spent millions of dollays in acquir-
ing and improving its lake-front.
Minneapolis and st. Paul have ac-
quired much of the property on
either side Of the Mississippi river.
In these two cities, as in many 9TH
ers, the advantage Of acquiring river
front and lake-front properties have
never been realized sufficiently soon
to permit OF their full acquisition
before the property had been occu-
pied and spoiled for its most natur-
al use. Omaha can acquire its river
front, build the river drive and make
an improvement Of unsurpassed
value for less money than many cit
les have already spent or would
now be willing to spend for inn
provements Of much smaller pro-
portion.
Omaha is young city which has
yet to experience its greatest
growth. The extension and Develop
ment Of the park and boulevard sys-
TENS during the next few years are
absolutely necessary before this is
made impossible through the inn
improvements of residence and indus
TRY. This does not mean that the
park and boulevard system can be
, developed only at the expense OF
the residential and industrial devef-
opment. On the contrary the best
park and boulevard development
consists of making use of land which
by reason of irregularity or poor To-
cation is unsuitable either for resi-
dental or industrial development.
In the case of the river drive. we
have an excellent example of this.
South of Missouri avenue and east
Of Thirteenth street great ravines
extend backward from the river.
These could never be used for indus
trial purpose and could be used for
nothing except the shabby type Of
residential development, because Of
the excessive cost for grading and
street construction that would be
necessary. On the other hand, this
territory has exceeding natural
beauty, in fact, is ideally suited for
park property. If left to private de-
yelopment, this property will be-
come nothing more than dumping
grounds for refuse and development
of shacks, examples Of which can
be seen in the district. This inn
proper use of the property will be
a detriment to the city inasmuch as
it depreciates the value of the SUR
rounding territory. and reduces tax
returns to the city over . large area.
Omaha has made splendid start
on a park and boulevard system.
1t possesses many small parks and

The Coconino sun., 1919-08-22

Many motorists know that it is nec- essary to use a hydrometer syringe to test storage battery, but they do not always know just how to use it. It is not hard to learn and it is really worth while if man would save him. self from battery repair bill.
 Through the courtesy of H. D. Till man, one of the two Tillman boys who own the New White Garage, we are able to publish the instructions on the use of hydrometer.
 The hydrometer has a scale gradu- ation in the upper part of the tube ranging from 1.150 to 1900, with .005 graduations and reads correctly at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. A fully charged cell should read about 1.280, and a completely discharged cell should read about 1.150 specific gravity, both of which are marked by red line on the scale.
 The hydrometer test should be made before distilled water is added.
The Coconino sun., 1919-08-22
STORAGE BATTERY IS TESTED
 BY 4 HYDROMETER SYRINGE

If distilled water is added and then the test is made, the reading will not be correct. Make the test as follows
 l. Remove vent plug from top of cell.
 2. Force the air out of the hydro meter syringe by squeezing the rub Der bulb.
 8. Insert rubber tube through the vent plug hole into the electrolyte or battery solution.
 4. Release the bulb and draw up sufficient electrolyte into the glass tube to float the hydrometer.
 5. See that the hydrometer floats freely, touching neither top, bottom nor sides.
 6. Move the hydrometer syringe so that the level of the electrolyte in the glass tube is on the level of the eye.
 2. Read the point on the hydrome- ter scale which appears level with the top of the electrolyte.
 8. Then force the electrolyte back into the cell from which it was re- moved.
 It is advisable to rinse out the hy- drometer syringe with water as the electrolyte will in time destroy the containing case.
 In some cars the battery is so placed that it is difficult or impossible to hold the syringe in an upright po- sition over the battery. Under such circumstances pinch the rubber tube with the left hand so that the battery solution will not run out of the hydro meter. Then left the hydrometer out and away from the car and hold it up- right to take the reading. Be care ful not to release the rubber tube until it is again placed over the hole in the top of the cell.
 "We will be glad at any time" 1" said Mir. Tillman, "to show any car owner just how to take hydrometer reading of his battery or we will be glad to do it ourselves for him if he will call"

AUTOMOBILE NEWS
AUTOIST SHOULD IMPRESS POINTS IN FAVOR ON ALL
 WITNESSES OF ACClDEN'f

Accidents are something that the owner of motor vehicle does not like particularly to contemplate and generally puts of any consideration of the subject until the mishap has actually occurred. This is probably the reason why most car owners fail to take the steps that prudence dic- tates when an accident has actually happened and by the same token this is why car owners so frequently find themselves in court and "in Dutch" at the same time.
 In the August issue of MoToR there is an article detailing the steps that the car owner should take in self defense when he is involved in any kind of an accident. To begin with, the author, William H. Pierson, sug- gests that "the car owner must re- member that the witnesses of an &C., cident are quite likely to be uncertain of memory as he himself is. For this reason he should call to the attention of witnesses particular points in con nection with the accident which he knows will help his case when it comes to court. For instance, he should point out to them and demonstrate the emergency brake is set tight.
 "If the mishap occurred at a street intersection he should impress upon their minds that he had slowed down his car for the crossing and had the vehicle we'll in hand. He hsould im- press upon them that he sounded his warning signal, so that they will re- member it when they go on the stand and if the pavement was wet or other wise slippery at the time of the acci- dent, he should show the witnesses that his chains were in place on the tires.
 "A very important point to prove in court is that the car was in it's proper place on the street when the accident occurred. Measurements, corroborat- ed by witnesses will establish this. If the trouble came when the car was making turn, get witnesses to prove that it was made in wide turn, as provided by the traffic regulations"
 The author proceeds to cite in- stances in which car owners have neg lected to gather the proper evidence at the time of an accident, to their later undoing. He points out that much of the evidence in these cases is of a very temporary nature and must be gotten on the spot or it is gone forever.
