now the patented principle used in the
Snper-Six motor resulted in a motor
with greater endurance than anything
heretofore known. because the increase
IN power it yielded came from the
minimizing of destructive vibration.
aPitted against the fastest special
,.eine machines ever built, many of
them costing from $4,000 to $4,000,
these Super-Sixes made record which
has never been equaled. But it was a.
triumph Of endurance over speed, for
more than 60 per cent of the racing
machines against which Hudson has
competed had more speed. What the
Super-Sixes accomplished, therefore,
Was due to superior staying powers.
They won out by being ableNto hold the
terrific pace where other cars with
less stamina literally were burned up
In nine championship races during its
frst year on the speedways, out Of
twenty-five entries, every Hudson car
except one finished within the money

Edison was Right

"The Chevrolet Review" says,
Thomas A. Edison nearly twenty
five years ago was quoted in The
New York World: THE horseless
vehicle is the coming wonder. Ten
years from now we will be able to
buy horseless vehicle for what
you would have to pay to-day for a
wagon and pair Of horses. The
money spent in the upkeep of the
horses will be saved. A great in
vention, which facilitates commerce,
enriches a country just as much as
q discovery Of gold.'
Looking back from the pinnacle
Of 1918 automobile developments, it
must be source Of great satisfac-
tion to know his prediction was con-
servative rather than radical"

Truck Makers Change Name
To Meet Whim of Publ

The goal of all advertisers is to put
the name of their product prominently
into the mouths and minds Of the buy
ing public. Seldom does it occur that
such a thing is done too successfully,
yet that is exactly what has happened
in the case Of The Clyde Cars Company,
Of Clyde, Ohio.
This company manufactures the
Clydesdale truck. During the eight
years of intensive sales and adver-
tising campaigning to put the name
of the truck before the public the name
OF the company has been quite lost
sight of. The bulk of the mail and
kilograms sent to the factory within
the last few years has been addressed

canao and Golfo de las Pcrlas. When
Columbus discovered the mainland OF
South America in 149S, he found the
Indians working these beds. In the
hands of the Spaniards, the pearl coast
became famous for its wealth in these
gems of the sea. When L'Ollonois, Roc
razilianO and Sir Henry Morgan were
sweeping the Spanish Main with the
piratical jolly roger at their masthead,
the pearl fisheries were frequently
plundered.
In the pearling season today, 400
sailing vessels and 1000 divers work
along the coast and among the islands.
The annual product of Margarita is
land alone is valued at 100000. An
immense pearl with an estimated value
of 100000 was found at Margarita In
1879 and presented to King Phillip OF
Spain. The Venezuelan pearls are OF
good orient and color and are noted
for their number OF baroques or ir-
regularly shaped pearls.
Perhaps the richest pearl fisheries
in America lie along the west coast OF
California from La Paz to the Island
of Loreto and around Tiburon across
the gulf on the Mexican coast. Pearls
are also found in some abundance on
both the eastern and western coasts
of Mexico, Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
The Pearl Islands off the Gulf OF
Panama have been famous for their
pearls for centuries.

Word from Santa Cruz, Cal, last
week, to the effect that William Bah
cock of Challis had died there was re-
ceived as a shock by the many friends
and acquaintances Of that gentleman
here.
Mr.. Babcock left Challis for Califor-
MIA about year ago, after having suf-
fered i'll health for some time. He
seemed to improve after going to Call
ifornia, and letters to friends here from
time to time held out much encourage
ment for his full and speedy recovery.
The deceased has been resident OF
Challis and Custer county for a great
number of years. being one of the pi-
oneers of this section. He had no rel
atives in Challis, and SO far as Is
known at the present time. none at all.
He made a last request to be buried
in the Challis cemetery. and will un-
doubtedly be brought back for the last
rites.
The friends Of Mr.. Babcoch will miss
.,im greatly: he was upright, honor
able, true to friends, a man of convic-
tions and one who regarded his word
as q thing Of honor. His loss will be
deeply mourned by those who knew
him as one of earth's greatest blessings

AuSTRIA'S APPEAL

off Austria for immediate assistance

enemy. but she is threatened with an

they are hungry. She has turned
mutely toward America for help.
Here is indeed an unusual and 1t is
not an exaggeration to say. terrible
situation. for very reliable dispatches

perish unless we extend aid. FL
nancial credit might save Austria,
we are told. but the European powers

THE FUTURE OF OUR MERCHANT
MARINE

57HE return of normal competition
in shipping and Americas new
prominence in world commerce make
the operation of our war-built mer-
chant fleet an important problem in
our national policy. Despite our lack
Of experience in international shic ping
there Is an evident determination to
develop our maritime opportunities in
stead of depending on other nations
as In the past
Such development 10 possible for
this country II our merchant fleet Is
the restrictions OF our present mari
time laws which cripple American
shippers in competition with other ma
tions arc removed.
It is generally recognized that tho
permanent development Of our merch-
ant. marine can be best accomplished
through private ownership and oper-
alton. Competition In the field Of over
seas trade in normal times. on the
economic basis of profit from service
rendered, demands a measure Of indi-
vidual initiative, freedom of judgment
and breadth Of experience that cannot
be had under government control.
| Sound policy. therefore. requires the
withdrawal of the government from the
field of shipping as rapidly as cir
cumstances permit. In the fulfllment
Of this policy, however. there are cer-
tain difficulties which must be over
come. There Is, first of all, the ques-
ton of the price at which the govern
ment- owned ships should be disposed
Of. The price for which the govern
ment sells it's shipping can have lit
tie relation to cost, but must be de-
termined on the basis of the domestic
and foreign demand and market prices
for shipping.
It would seem clear that the only
basis on which new capital may be
made available for the development OF
our merchant marine is the prospect OF
earning reasonable returns on the in
vestment. Before a broad field Of in
vestment can be made available tc
tho shipping industry. however. the
quality and security of ship mort
cages, which are now subject to q
variety Of prior liens. must be i'm
proved and standardized. Further
more, to assure American shipping q
more nearly equal basis Of compe-
tition with foreign shipping. some
modification Of restrictions imposed
by our navigation laws. which tend te
increase unduly the relative costs oi
operation, may we'll be considered.

SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION

N LTHOUGH there is no desire to
tn cast reflection on enumerators at
p.vsent engaged in Boise taking the
official 1920 census for the government
but rather desire to lend them every
aid possible. the Capital News cannot
help but call attention to the state
ment appearing in its Sunday issue.
that some of the present population Is
being skipped. 1t would Re unfortu-
nate indeed for this city IT, after the
task OF enumeratinG is over, 1t is found
from 10 to is per cent Of the population
has not been counted. And this is not
Il all impossible or improbable.
It is highly important to Boise that
every man. woman and child claiming
this city as their place OF abode. be
counted. The enumeratois do not de-
sire to overlook anyone. 1t is to their
interests that there is full and COM
plete enumeration. In order TO make
this possible they must have the as
sistance of residents. The latter are
charged with giving correctly the
names of each member Of the family,
and they should keep in mind that the
children count.
When congress passed the census
law it was with the idea of getting
as accurate a count as possible OF the
people claiming the United States as
their home. Certainly tho purpose was
not to get only an estimation or par
tial count There can be no valid
objection raised to a city or town de-
string to record a complete enumera-
tion. That is what the government
wants.
But if one is missed here and two
there, the skips will reduce the grand
total materially. Those who have been
overlooked in the census taking should
not hesitate to get that information to
the proper authorities. especially II this
is found to be the case after the enum-
orator has paid their home visit.
BY counting every one of its resi-
dents. Boise will find 1t decidedly to
her advantage, for a fair and just CEN
sus will mean much to it in the future.
This is a fact that never should be lost
sight of while the enumerating is in
progress.

as to the time Of the next meal hy-

view Sheriff Peters does, that there

least. and on the> face of things does
not seem to have had the effect the

that deep in their hearts the men who
looked through the bars at the death
of one Of their number may not have
profited to some degree? Justice
