HUDSON OUTPUT

the motoring public which has come
to regard the motor car as o matter
of daily necessity according to Viii

"The Hudson and Essex factories
have been running at capacity for
MANY months ana are still unable
to fully supply the increasing de-

Essex production set at 100000 for
1925 consists largely of closed cars,
the Hudson proportion of closed cars
being 80 per cent, rs compared with
general average of 80 per cent.
"Hudson and Essex are standard

State to Have
Test Sta tiOns
For Headlights

VIII II. Marsh, chief Of the Di-
vision Of Motor Vehicles, has an
nounccd a new policy is to be adopt
ed in connection with the establish
ment Of headlight testiag stations
throughout the State of California.
Heretofore a quasi official sane
tion has been given certain testing
agencies established by the Cali.
forna Auto Trades Association.
These agencies are to be super
seded by official stations under the
immediate supervisor and sanction
Of the Division Of Motor Vehicles.
1t win be the policy of the dcpaLi
ment to see that each station so
authorized is properly equipped
with uniform headlight charts and
other paraphernalia necessary for
this work.
IT is proposed to establish these
agencies in every section of the
state Of California, and in connec-
ton with local and traffic officers
the department. hopes to carry on n
campaign of education and enforce
ment which will thoroughly erqli-
cate the present headlight evil.
No provision is contained in the
new automobile act for the fiving
of testing fee and no attempt will
be made by the department to regu-
late the fees charged for headlight
adjustments. However, any at
tempt on the part of the official
adjusting station to over charge the
customer will result in the suspcn-
sion of the agency so offending, as
an official station.

CHEVROLET HAS
BIGGEST. OUTPUT
DAY In HISTORY

Establishing the greatest output
record in its history, the Oakland
plant of the Chevrole. Motor Com
pany on Tuesday, June 26, shipped
to Chevrolet dealers 373 passenger
automobiles.
Shipments from the big Oakland
factory were made both by rail and
{, series of big dealers drive aways.
The rail shipment during this one
day included IS solid carloads of
passenger ears going to the various
dealer organizations throughout the
entire Pacific Coast region.
A notable feature was the big
dealers drive away of closed mod
els. During the period from 9 a. IN.
until $3.50 p. m., 76 closed models,
including sedans, sedanettes and
utility coupes, were driven away
from the plant by dealers in the
coast territory. Another unusual
feature of this days big business
was the fact that of the total ship
ment for this day, 163 sedans and
40 utility coupes were included.
While this one days shipment of
automobiles established q new rec
ord in production and shipment for
the Chevrolet plant at Oakland, the
demand for this popular-priced
fully-equipped automobile has grown
far in advance of the manufacturing
facilities. The Chevrolet Motor
Company is operating 4 number of
extensive plants at full capacity and
has recently erected three addition
al factories in Eastern cities; still,
the demand for Chevrolets is far i'll
excess of the supply all over the
United States.

Auto Club VIII Moye to Strike
Speed Trap" from Highways

Ri1iculing the rumor Of test
cases to ascertain the validity Of
the provision in the Motor Vehicle
Act which goes into effect Septem-
Der 1st-practically eliminating
"speed traps from California
highways-by making testimony
thus secured invalid, officials Of
the Auto Club of Southern Califor-
MIA declare that the absence of the
"speed trap viii not mean an
avalanche of reckless speeding.
THIS provision of the new Motor
Vehicle Act, as pointed out by the
Auto Club. merely means that uni
formed officers will patrol the
highways Gin the OPEN rather
than spending their time hiding be
hind bill boards, or smoking their
pipes under culverts.
Speed Traps Valueless
Tt is realized that il is impossible
to cover every mile Of California
highways with uniformed officers,
and also that a properly planned
speed trap serves a proper purpose.
According to the authorities, senti-
ment against speed traps developed
from the localized habit of estab-
fishing trap in such a way as to
make the evidence thus secured un-
fair and valueless.
F'There would be just as much
sense in providing uniformed mo
torcycle officials on the highway
and then pay them, rs has been the
case, to spend their entire day sit
ting comfortable in some secluded
speed trap and nabbing motorists
in that one small section of the
road. BY placing the speed Officers
out on the highways here, their
mere presence in passing by will
remind motorists that they must
keep within the law as regards
speed.
Patrolmen Don't Hide
"Pick-pockets and other minor
| offenders would not be stopped in
their criminal progress if it were
not for the uniformed patrolman
who is within call of their victims
, If the patrolman were hiding be.
hind a billboard somewhere, he
! would not be of much service tc
throw the fear of the law into
| criminals at largo"
No parallel is drawn bteween law
evading motorists and pick-pockets
but the inference is that in III,
ease of the law-breallers, the strong
arm of the law should be in cyi
| dence so as to be available, not
only in case of accident, but also
in case of reckless driving, whiGl
may take place outside of any lin
tied area included in a speed trap

Useful Device to
Test the Motor

A useful device for motor testing
consists of telephone band with
75-ohm telephone receiver mounted
on one end and flash light bat
terry on the other connected up. One,
is the receiver; two the head band;
three, the flash light battery; four,
the connections, and five, the test
ing wires. This battery will detect
shorts and grounds in the motor
that will not show on a voltmeter.
By the use of the battery one
of the wires is attached to the
frame of the ear and the other on
q grounded wire. If any of the
electrical connections of the motor
are short-circuited sharp clicks will
be heard from the receiver by max
ing and breaking the connection on
the frame of the car.--Automobile

Used Cars Are
Much In Demand
in Northern Cal.

The most encouraging thing in
this part of the west is the increas-
ing demand for used ears of all
kinds, which really shows the meas
ure of prosperity. 1t means that
wage earners are employed and
buying cars. This lowers the in
ventory of the dealers and allows
them to 90 OH selling new ears.
When used ears do not sell, new
ones cannot be delivered because
ninety nine per cent cf sales now in
volve the trade in of Il used car as
part payment on new one.
Utah is estimated to have sold
about G,0o0 ears during the frs

How to Remove

to remove, unless it happens 70 be
in such n position that it can be
reached by a bar inserted in the

dent is of no consequence, n large
dent may be so unsightly that its
removal will give good results, pro
vided that the doaJ is not near the
corner where the beading may
make removal difficult. First fill
the tank to the top with water.
Then after disconnecting the fuel
line, attach an air hose carrying
about 20 pounds pressure to the
fuel line connection. Then tap
lightly with a soft mallct around
the edges of the dent. Though the
dent may not be entirely removed
