SHALLOW OIL PAN IS
USEFUL SUBSTITUTE
May Be Used to Take Place Of
WheeIed-Jack.
Car May Be Swung Around In Small
Garage Where Space for Turning
and Maneuvering Is Limited
Oil Not Good for Tires.

One Of those special Jacks with
wheels on 1t to enable cars to be ma
neuvered without trouble In close quar-
tiers Is a handy thing to have, espe-
cially in the garage where several cars
are kept, and where it is necessary to
run them pretty close together in order
to get them all in. Such a jack merely
raises the front or the back end Of
the car, and then the vehicle may be
swung around to the desired point, do
ing away with a great deal of back
ing and turning and wheel twisting
where the car must be worked around
in the desired position under its own
power.
But 1t appears that a car may be
swung around In emergencies without
the aid Of a jack of the kind mentioned
providing one of those shallow oil
pans, such as is often slid under a car
to catch any oil or grease drip from
the motor or chassis, Is at hand. We
had stored our car in a garage where
the space for turning and maneuvering
was very small indeed, and in the alb
sence Of q jack with wheels on IT.. the
garage attendant merely backed the
car into the oil pan, which, by the way,
had a slight film of oil and greasy ma
terial in it, says a writer in an ex-
change. With the rear tires standing
on the pan, he merely pushed the car
sideways and the tires slid across the
oiled surface of the pan accomplish
ing the swinging process in a unique
manner. And while 1t IS not advocat-
ed that such a use be habitually made
of the pan since 1t is none too good
for the tires to get them in oil, never
theless 1t Is a kink worth knowing.

ALLIES WILL WANT
1,25O,OOO TONS
United States viii Consume About
4,500,oO0 Tons - Estimated Produc-
ton Is 100000 Tons Per Capita
Consumption Is 90 Pounds.

WASHINGTON, Jan. s. President
ers to the McNary sugar control bill au-
thorizing purchase and distribution of the
Cuban sugar crop, according to a state
ment issued at the White House.
The statement said the president had
decided, on the basis Of facts presented
for his consideration and the recommen
dation of the sugar equalization board,
that this power should not be exercised.
In the long statement announcing the
Presidents decision, the declaration is
made that apparently the available sugar
supply is sufficient for American needs,
even on the present unnecessarily large
basis of consumption" and notice is given
that the power of price control through
the licensing system, authorized by the
bill, will be invoked if necessary in CO.
operation with the department of
Justice. Figures attached show that the
estimated 1919 consumption in the Unit
ed States was slightly more than $500
600 tons, of which normally only 1000
600 tons was domestic production.
As the Cuban crop is unusually large
at 100000 tons, of which the allies will
take about l,250,O00 tons, and as the
estimated Louisiana, western beet, Ha
waiian and Porto Rican production will
reach 100000 tons, the statement fore
sees a sufficient supply for American
needs.
The American per capita consumption
| of sugar, the statement said, had riser
from IS pounds in 1866 to an average OF
81 pounds during the l9l4.l9lS perioc
and to o. pounds in 1919.
/ The statement points out that under
the McNary act control of domestic su
gar would end June 80, and adds thai
should the sugar board succeed in pur
chasing Cuban sugar for deliver,
throughout the year it would be in III,
position of trying to maintain q uni
form, reasonable price over the countr,
with no control whatsoever over larg
quantities of sugar from Hawaii and Por
to Rico, which come in mainly afte
June 80, and over the new Louisiana can
and western beet sugars"
This, too the statement said. "a
the time of the year when, if at all, alb
solute control OF all sugars by the boar,
would be essential"

But the Essex does bring quality and
performance to q class field that was
unknown.
The former owners Of large costly
cars that have adopted the Essex have
not been Hudson users. They have
come from other cars, cars that fall
short of the Supcr-Six in all particulars
save size and cost.
The Essex appeals to such users be-
cause of its nimbleness. They ike the
way its performance compares with that
of the Super-Six. You can see this on
every hand. The two cars n any com
nunity that are most prominent because
of their performance ability are the
Hudson Super-Six and the Essex.
