A UsED.CAR OPPORTUNITY.

Confronted by the necessity OF finding
permanent used car showroom in
place of the one at 1928 Broadway, the
Hudson Motor Car Company OF New
York will fill in the interim with a sale
of used cars that has more than the
usual elements OF interest for prospec-
tive customers.
Until, the new salesroom rs available,
probably by April Is. Harry S. Houpt
has arranged to show selection OF
fine used cars in the basement OF his
new car store at 1912 Broadway, The
bulk Of the used cars, however. will be
placed on exhibition in the big Hudson
service station at S15 West Sixty-eie nth
street Arrangements have been made
to transfer customers from one place to
the other by motor car.
Preferring to caSry over as few Of tho
cars as possible Mr.. Houpt has made a
new price list, the reductions in some
cases running as high as 20 per cent.
from previous prices. Because OF the
shortage OF new cars the Hudson sale
is likely to result in an absolute clear
ance of the stock.

NEW STEEL STUDDED TIRES.
They Attract Considerable Atten-
tfon on Broadway.

A winton car equipped with chrome
leather steel studded tires has been at
tracing considerable attention on
Broadway recently. Wherever the car
has been left standing crowd has al
ways gathered to inspect the novel tire
equipment.
These tires are something new to
Broadway. but steel studded tires were
used by many automobiles in the big
war and have thoroughly proved their
great reliability and hardness.
The tires sold here with the steel
studs are known as Risse Process tires
and are distributed by the Risse Euro

In the earlier days Of the motor car
when 1t was in n more or less expert
mental stage. men bought no car until
they were convinced, by their own In
vestlgaton or otherwise. that It was
about the most dependable to be had
within their means
But that period OF uncertainty, II you
please, was of short duration. The
motor car made long strides into a
state of development which had de-
pendability for its watchword. Which,
Of course. was exactly as II should be.
Fundamental principles were found,
and they are fundamental to-day.
There was argument as to the number OF
cylinders, the kind of clutches, the best
oiling systems. ,and so on. Each manu-
facturer. perforce. settled these matters
according to his own lights. But all OF
them strove. and most OF them succeeded.

a car largely became. nrst, q question

In spite OF the fact that motor cars

Men closely connected with the man
ufacture and distribution of motor cars
may have noticed a peculiar trend dur
ing the last year or so. This has been
a change in the buying public's atti-
tude toward automobiles In general.
People who use motor cars seem to
have come by the idea that their choice
Of cars should almost begin and end
with things like the body style, the up
hclstery and the various items which
contribute TO comfort and convenience.
They have seemed to forget that the
one really big factor which has to do
with their comfort and convenience is
the chassis: and that IL the chassis is
right they are sure to get the greatest
usefulness from their cars at the lowest
cost.
Buyers Not to Blame.
In all justice 1t should be said that
the motor car buyers are not wholly
to blame for this attitude. Many may
have taken II consciously; II doubtless
has come upon others unconsciously.

Lane Advocates Renewed
Effort; Asks for Few
Days of ''Real Sanity

WASHINGTON. Oct. 25.-preside
Wilson'S Cabinet decided to-day to call
new conference to continue the effort
to establish industrial peace. 1t will
consist of fifteen prominent Ameri
cans, without division into groups, and
the Cabinet will recommend nomina-
tions to the President
Secretary Glass. who presided at tho
sessions Of the Cabinet to-day in the
absence of Secretary Lansing, made the
following statement:
Responsive to recommendation
made by the public group of the In
dustral Conference. the Cabinet con-
sldered the question Of the confirm
ance Of the effort undertaken by the
conference, and it was unanimou
agreed that such new conference
should be called representing the body
OF the public, and not divided into
groups. This body will consist of ap-
proxtmately fifteen of the most prom
lhent Americans. Names now consid-
cred by the Cabinet will be recon-
mended to the President"
Lane Favors New Council
Secretary Lane, who was chairman
of the conference that failed, wrote
president Wilson to-day supporting
the recommendation of the pubiic
group that new conference be consti-
tuted at once to carry on the work for
which the original conference was
called
In this connection, Mr.. Lane issued
the following statement:
the industrial conference never
really got started 1t died at it's birth,
because questions arose which it was
not prepared to meet then. This
should not end the effort to 20 at this
business of adjusting labor troubles
by sense instead Of force. Oh for q
few days Of real sanity, when, with
composed nerves and calm Judgment
and without bitterness of feeling. we
could look at our problems and meet
them with our traditional hopefulness
and confidence.
Reckless Spirit Deplored
"Recklessness is in our blood. A
great willingness to take risks that
we have no right to take. We will suf
fer for this spasm of hysterical self
assertiveness on all sides. | want to
see new conference of leading minds
that will think in practical terms. a
real council of national defense against
the kind of civil war which some seem
to think another irrepressibe conflict"

to close at midnight Monday.

control by mortgage and that means

the brewers have picked one saloon
