Speed Promised At Fair Grounds
 Meet To Be Held February 22nd

Every combination possible to obtain speed and then more speed is being figured for the Fri State Auto Classic to be run at the state fair grounds Washington's Birthday. Even the turns of the one mile track, acknowledged to he the fastest in the United States are being banked in an effort to give the drivers a better chance to make time.
 It is going to be a big day in the history of the automobile game in Ari- zona. Plans are Icing made to handle the largest crowd ever packed into the grandstand outside of fair week. The track has been put in excellent shape, special preparations for parking autos are being made, and the promoters don't care one little rap how fast the drivers go, or how many sensations they spill.
 And by all means it is going to be a real honest to goodness race meet. Not only local drivers are entered. but several of the best known drivers in the country have signified their inten- ton of being here. The fact that a big purse is being up for the after noon's sport has attracted practically every driver in the southwest.
 As an introduction to the following days feats of speed, the dealers in Phoenix have arranged to hold an automobile parade through the streets of Phoenix. Only 1920 models will be entered
 Way down in Fl Paso enthusiasm is going strong. Mayor Davis, always an ardent booster of the speed game, has urged several of his local drivers to get in the running, in order that the fair

 IF THE HUDSON

The growing popularity of American automobiles in Japan is indicated in the following letter from an owner re- ceived at the Hudson factory in De troit
 .'I take much pleasure in informinS you of the Hudson car in the Far East and this will show you how the Super six is acting in the land of the Dfikado empire.
 'I am so interested in the elegance and reliability of the car that father is the user of two Hudson cars. True by climbing mountains. driving at. high speed and having a comfortable drive even on the rough roads, I appreciate the perfection and edurance of the super-six.
 ''In consequence of the great war. the American cars took the place Of the European cars in Japan, and now here in Tokio street, Hudson in pre- dominant over the others, entirely due to it's high quality. This, I think is a sure sign of Hudsons' popularity in Japan"

Since automobiles are produced in great quantities and sold at com paratively low price, it is but natural That these so-called production" cars VIII bear certain earmarks which put khem out of the exclusive class. The desire on the part of every automo- blfe owner is to have a car different from the rest and his search for the exclusive inevitably leads to the door pf the special body builder. The spe- rlal body on standard chassis gives B car quite a distinctive look, and if money is no object every whim and fancy of the owner can be satisfied. There are certain factors which must however, be given very careful conSid- eration, otherwise there may result Their an improper combination of rhassis and body or wasteful expen- 1iture or both.
 First consideration must be given to The value of the chassis upon which The new body is to be mounted. Some
 imes a good second hand chassis is worth better body than a new cfas- SIS of cheap manufacture Some rhaSsis are not worth fitting with any thing but a production body, as the resale value will be Judged by the con nItlon of the chassis only. Bear in mind the parallel that it is not worth building an expensive rome in a cheap unrestricted neighborhood, and by the game token it is most unwise to fit an expensive body to cheap, short lived chassis If you decide to have a spe- elal body built on a new chassis worth. let us say, $1.000, it is obviously wrong to look at open bodies worth twice as much, for such a combination will re- suit in car which will go to pieces. though it will look well. A fairly good rule to follow IS, never spend more than half the value of the chassis for new open body
 Before you drive into the body builders shop study the new body de- signs, so you will KNOW exactly what you desire Don't let the body builder do all the thinking, because he very often will think in terms of saving money for himself. Know what you want in lines, in trimming, in finish etc., and then find out the cost. If you own good open car in the medium or high price class and require an in closed body don't cheapen the whole car by trying to buy cheap body. If you look over inclosed bodies for such cars as Cadillac, Hudson Packard Winton. etc. you will find that the prices run from around s12OO to as much as s4,000. Up to s1.7o0 the body IS a cheap one beyond that you arc getting into the more useful and ser

 -'The fueliZer consists of small supplementary carburetor and a burn ing chamber where the gas from the little carburetor is burned. The cham Der is situated in the intake manifold. When the gas enters, it is ignited by regulation spark plug. and passes into the fresh charge going from the car buretor to the cylinders. The heat of the burnt gas changes the wet, poorly carbureted mixture to a dry Vapor. which explodeS with full efficiency when it is touched off by the spark in the cylinder
 The appliance causes the entire charge to be exploded. doing away with carbonizing because the kerosene and similar less volatile matter is burned.
