All men seem to know this. For
four years Hudson has been the larg-

Even now we are booking orders for

to get the car of their choice is proof
of Hudson quality. What greater

In This Respect Hudson
Has No Rival
The .Super-Six Motor Is Patented and
Exclusive 1t Added 1920 to Po.uer

Don't forget that no other car in
ehe world has motor like the Hud-
son Super-Six.
When YOU see a Hudson doing the
things that only the highest powered
cars can do, remember that in size,
the SuperSiX motor is not large and
that it obtains its great power because
OF the patented principle which mini
mixes vibration.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1919-10-19

Vibration is the greatest destruc-
tive force about a motor car.
Vibration does far more damage
than any shock received in useful serv-
ice. You can see its destructive effects
when motor is raced.
Vibration absorbs power By mini
MIXING it, greater power is available
for the operation of the car. And there
is less strain and damage done through
self destruction.

The toymakers Of America aim

and to give jobs to thousands of
crippled soldiers, it was announ-

Toy Manufacturers of America be-
gan a two-day convention in the
Hotel McAlpin. The organization,
representing all the manufac-
turers of the country, had 100
members present when Fl. G. Ives

ed the convention.
The plan was outlined by Geor-
sge Schlessinger of the firm of Leo
Schlessinger 4 Co., GA Wooster
Street, who is a Vice President of
the association. He declared that
practically all the toy-makers fav-
ored giving jobs to crippled vete-
rams, and that in cases where the
soldiers were unable to come to
work the toymakers had decided
to send the work to their homes.
He pointed out thlt in Europe
much of the toymaking had been
done in the homes. Declaring
that the work was light and in
teresting, he saidN thousands of
men would be needed to take care
of the great increase IN the in

1nerce, export for November
amounted to $4,000, GOO against
$5O3, 900, 900 in October and $751;
900 900 in November, 1917. For
the IL months of this year year
exports were valued at $685.
600, 900, which is not quite up to
the total of $5,633,000 recorded
for the corresponding period of
1917.
November imports totaled $251,-
100000, against $4,000, 900 in
October and $221, ,OCO,0OO in Nov

months ended with November of
this year the imports were valued
at ~, ,S21 900, 900, a gain over the
S2, ,725, 100000 in the same period
of last year.
The Indications are that for the
full calendar year imports will
exceed $3,OOO,OOO,OCO and exports
sc, 900, 100000 in value.
Gold imports as well as exports
amount to much less than for the
previous year. For the II months
ended with November imports of
gold amounted to $60,O00,O0O,

ltoy trade had received such an
impetus that the demand now ex
ceeded the supply.
At the afternoon session, Flet-
+ cher Il. Dodge, Secretary, made
his report, and a resolution was
adopted which read:
.'It is the desire of the mem
bers of the Toy Manufacturers Of
America that the American Red
Cross and other organizations
which come in contact with the
crippled men be advised that this
Organization is in a position to
obtain such employment for them.
1t is also the sentiment that all
able-bodied soldiers be given pre-
ference in the future employment
of men in the manufacture of their
regular products.
Following the resolution short
speeches were made by many de-
legates. The tenor of their talks
was that American dealers would
not consider the Importation of
German toys for years to come.
The supply of German toys has
been exhausted all over the world
and would never be allowed to be
renewed, according to the speak
ers. Michael L. Beistle, toy
maker at shippensburg, Penn,
that when his firm filled an order
from Canada recently he had been
instructed to furnish affidavits
with each shipment swearing that
no part of the shipment was of
German origin. a. Davis, a Lon
don import, said that England had
not suffered from lack of playth-
ings during the war, because mer-
chants had purchased from Japan
ese, French and italian makers.

lof Great Britain ever again
buying Germany's toys. He sug-
gested that Great Britain in the
future would do most of her toy
buying either here or in Japan.
Discussing the toy outlook, Mr..
Dodge said: according to statis-
ties compiled by the War Indus
tries Board there were seventy-One
firms making toys in 1913, and
these had an annual business of
SIC, 6,521, ,45S; the same firms in
1918 will do a total business of
not less than $13,000.000. The re-
port of the War Industries Board
shows that in addition to these
seventy-one firms, ninety four
other manufacturers have started
to make toy manufacturers re-
present simply the addition of a
toy department to an existing
factory, but a very high percent
age of these firms represents en-
tirely new business. In 1917 these
firms did a total business of
81, ,202 ,032, and a conservative es-
innate indicates that the business
this year will be not less than
81, 100000. The American toy in
dustry has reached point where
it can become the leading toy in
dustry of the world that receives
the hearty support of the Amer
lean people,"
The association held a smoker
last night in the Blue Room at the
McAlpin. The only address was
made by III. L. Brunson, Super

of what was planned for the re-
