Ansted engine with which the Lex
ington specials, which won first
and second places in the Pixies
Peak hill climb last Labor day, were
equipped.
Pictures Show Operation.
Mr.. Moore illustrated his remarks
with motion pictures showing in
finest detail the operation of the
new AEsted engine and showing,
also, the Lexington specials in ac-
tion at Pixies Peak. He was assist
ed throughout by Mr.. Kicker, who
is chairman of the Indiana section
of the S. A. E.
Mr.. Moore was invited to speak
by b. NJ. Ikert, editor of Motor
Age and chairman of the program
committee of the Chicago section
of the S. A. E. The detailed, illus
trated description of the new motor
by the man who designed it was a
revelation to the engineers present.
1t was the general opinion that
the Ansted engine is a marvel of
engineering science, eclipsing for
mer ideas of power, economy and
endurance. Mr.. Moore pointed out
that much larger engines have been
outpulled on hills and outspeeded
on straight-aways by the Ansted
engine. Also that it has made
more miles per gallon than smaller
engines.
Has Power and Endurance.
"No more consistent demonstra-
tion of power and endurance was
ever witnessed than the clean
S>weep at Pixies Peak. when two
Lexington specials equipped with
Ansted engines took first and sec.
opd places" said Mr.. Moore.
''The proven principle of maxi
mum value lift Is demonstrated by
the Ansted engine. That is how
the great racing cars are known
90 get much of their power. The
only objection heretofore has been
too much noise. We have COM
pletely banished the noise and re-
tanned the acknowledged power and
economy advantages of high valve
lift
This accomplishment was made
possible largely by the invention of
the exclusive lexington rocking
chair rocker arm. -a
The engine is the result of
years of research and intensive de-
velopment. Great power, correct
gear ratios, perfect cooling, and
wonderful stamina are features of
the new series IT models which are
equipped with the Ansted engine"

HUPMOBILE HOLDS
TO PUBLIC FAVOR
Maintains Reputation for
Economy, Speed and
Durability.

That the Hupmobile combines
the qualities which the public favor
most in a motor car is confirmed" "
say local Hupmobile dealers. "by a
study of the answers obtained by
the National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce in response to a ques-
tionnaire, which showed that en-
durance and economy were the most
popular features of a car.
THE Hupmobile's reputation for
durability and long life was found
ed by the old Model '2O'-built in
1909 and still running strong. This
reputation was maintained by the
Hupmobile Model SEA car which
never wears out-and reaches it's
highest point in the present Series
r. which will still be giving COM
plete satisfaction ten years from
now.
Economy too, has always been
a strong Hupmobile asset The SIM
pie four-cylinder motor has given
high gasoline and oil mileage-its
light weight has added miles to tire
mileage-and as is we'll known,
Hupmobile repair costs are practI-
cally nothing, even in most severe
service.
THE Hupmobile has not neglected
the other features which interest
but It is significant TO
note that the strongest points Of
the Hupmobile coincide so exactly
with the features most desired by
automobile owners.
The list of features and the rel
ative rating. as indicated by re-
turns from twenty States covering
more than thirty makes of cars,
are as follows:
Endurance. Is per cent; econ
omy, IA per cent; comfort, sk per
cent; price, s1A per cent: appear

cent; hill climbing, per cent; fiex-
ibility, 6h per cent; endorsement of
others, 6z per cent; specifications,
s per cent; speed 5h per cent; ap-
polntments, per cent.
We suggest that every owner
look this list over, and see IL he
agrees with the PERCENTAGES given"

Mixed conditions characterized the
automotive industry during May. ac-

The temperature chart of the in

month-to-month purchases by au-

truck makers from 500 parts ana
accessory manufacturers was made
public for the FIRST time, covering
the period from January / to the
end of April Since this survey was
not inaugurated until 1921, there Is
no basis for comparison with last
years figures.
This chart shows three curves
the sales OF parts and equipment to
vehicle manufacturers, the total OF
past due accounts reported and the
total of notes outstanding reported.
In all three items the curve from
the beginning Of January to the end

Since closs to four hundred of the
principal parts makers are affiliated
with the Motor and Accessory Manu-
facturers' Association, figures thus
reported are a sensitive gauge TO
conditions throughout the industry
Monthly conferences are held for
the interchange of credit informa-
ton and the pooling of experiences
thus making possible a scientific
and impartial diagnosis of current
trends.
Less Favorable Features.
Although the fundamental condi-
tions as reflected by the above
figures are constructive and reas-
suring. there are several features
of a less favorable character. No
effort is made by reporting men,
bers of the association to cloak or
minimize the realities OF the present
situation with respect to general
business conditions. Many reports
from Detroit and other automobile
centers indicate that the manufac-
turing revival reported last month
has not been universally main
tained. There are, of course, con-
Germs going ahead with their
schedules. but others report further
curtailment of orders and cancella-
tions of old releases.
Recent price revisions by vehicle
makers have tended to stabilize
conditions, but this process of ad-
justment cannot be completed over
night. The industry is eagerly
scanning the commercial horizon for
evidence of increased sales which
the new price levels were designed
to stimulate.
Report From south.

Little Rock, Sept 20.-The second pardon granted by Governor McRae since his inauguration possesses pecu- | liar features. The pardon was grant cd tc Julia Beckham of Randolph coun- ty who had been convicted on charge of selling liquor and sentenced to a [ year in the penitentiary. Since last January she has been held at the State Farm for Women. She had always protested her innocense and Q few days ago the following statement was secured from L. J. Patterson, upon whose testimony she had been convict Fed:
 This is to certify that I, T. J. Pat terson, did not buy any whiskey from Julia Beckham at any time. I have known her for twenty years and she has never sold whiskey to me or to anyone else that know of"
 It appears from evidence laid before tho Governor that Patterson had been charged with an offense and that the younger sister of Julia Beckham was the prosecuting witness. Upon the trial of Patterson, Julia Beckham, who had already been convicted. was not permitted to testify, as she was con- vict, and Patterson was acquitted Now, Patterson admits that his testi- mony was perjured, and that Julia Beckham has served more than eight months time on a charge of which she was innocent

Moving to and
From Canada

Our Canadian cousins are gloating
very freely over the immigration
during the last year from the United
States to Canada. They say $4,000
Of us have gone over the line to set
tie and that we took over $17,000,-
900 Of wealth with us. ~
Maybe so. But when we look up
our own, immigration figures it ap-
pears that, up to October 1, some
thing over 10000 Canadians liked
over to the United States with their
worldly goods. At best the loss of
this country is about 10000 people,
which is only one in every ten thou
sand of our population. You can
quickly estimate how serious the
loss is when you reflect on what it
means when one person moves away
from a town of 10000 inhabitants.
Incidentally the 10000 net that
we lost to Canada is just about the
number of people who moved from
only one western state to California
last fall
Canada is a fine country, if you
can stand the climate and our neigh
bors over there are a 4lhe lot of peo-
pie. We begrudge them nothing.
