Local Hudson Essex Dealer Has Method of Proving
 Points

When selecting your new car a good thought to keep in mind is, will it continue to do the things which are inducing me to buy 1t? Will the second and third years of service be as satisfactory as the first?" This depends upon principles of design and construction and the simplicity of maintenance care re- Quired to prevent and to compensate for wear. The most convincing proof mony of an owner-he knows from experience.

MANY EXCLUSIVE TEXTURES FOUND
 0N PEERLESS CAR
Motor and Chassis Has Many Points of Novel Con-
 StruCtion

Peerless distributors and dealers the country over are pointing out to owners and prospects for the new Peerless the numerous distinctive and exclusive features in the car. These conveniences add materially not only to ordinary daily motoring, but to longer tours as well.
 :, In the Peerless engine itself for in- stance, is found a combination of de- cidedly novel abilities. It Is an axiom of the automotive industry that an engineer capable of delivering great speed on the straight stretches is not q good hill climber. Engineers up to the advent of the new Peerless. had never succeeded in desi gning an engine capable of delivering great Yet. owners of the present Peerless find that their car possesses both abilities to a marked degree. as well as being remarkably free from carbon formation.
 The engine also contains two other unusual features. The intake header Is heated directly from the exhaust to provide the heat necessary to vaptrize gasoline properly. The adjusted easily, according to varying climatic conditions. second car buretor feature permits the introduc- tion of practically raw gasoline to the cylinders when qulck accelera- ton, as in traffic, may be necessary. An engine driven tire pump, par ticularly convenient on long tours. can be put into operation without even lifting the hood
 Chassis developments of advanced design are the torque arm, oiling sys- tenn key arrangement and the springs. The toroue arm, with it's forward connection of fabric, eliminates squeaks and rattles and makes lubri- cation at this point unnecessary.
 fabrication by hand of few points is necessary on every car built. on the.new Peerless this is done In the cleanest and simplest way known. All that is necessary is to give each grease cup a half turn with key provided for that purpose whenever fabrication becomes necessary When the grease cups become empty they may be quickly filled with an Ale sfaite UuD

POLAND TO DEMOLISH THE RUSSIAN CHURCH
Richly Decorated Structure Called Symbol of Russian Oppression

WARSAW. April 2S.-During the Russian regime a Russian cathedral was erected in Warsaw. Richly dec orated with paintings and wonderful mosaics. it was an object of admi- ration of all foreigners who visited the city. To the Poles, however. 1t was but another symbol of Russian oppression.
 When, in 1915, the Russians with drew from Warsaw, the first impulse Of the populace was to destroy this cathedral. but other counsel pre- vailed. The Germans In their occu- patton of Warsaw stripped it of it's bronze roofs, which they replaced with wooden ones. But these roofs afforded poor protection against the weather. and it was soon found nec- essary to close the cathedral.
 Owing to its present dilapidated condition and the reluctance of the Poles to spend money on the res toration of monument which has always been hateful to them, it has been decided that it shall be pulled down. Before starting on the ac- tual demolition of the cathedral. however, other more pressing works will be taken in hand, so that the delay still gives a little hope to those who are against it's destruc- tion.

RECORD YEAR IS SEEN FOR AUTO INDUSTRY
Output Expected To Reach Between
 3,000,000 and 3,500,00O Vehicles

All indications are that the pres ent year will be the greatest and most prosperous in the history of the automobile industry. Not only will this be true in the production of new cars. for unless some unlocked for depression occurs the American factories will turn out from 3,000,000 to 3500.000 cars, but 1t will also be seen in the increased volume of mo- tor touring in all parts of the coun- try. Indeed, the present year looks as though the mania for getting out into the open air with the motor car for recreation and sightseeing, which was so noticeable half a dozen years ago, will be more apparent than for several seasons.
 For various reasons, due partly to the war and the general economical wave which surged over all inter- ests, motor touring suffered some- what of an eclipse for period. Last year it came back, but this year indications are that the na- tion's highways will carry far greater number of automobiles than in any previous season.
 Production Records Broken.
 Never before at any particular pe- riod of the year has the public purchased automobiles so eagerly as today. This exceptional sales con dition is reported from all parts of the country. To meet this demand the factories have been speeding up production ever since the first of the year, and all former monthly rec ords were broken in March, when 346,000 passenger cars and trucks were made.
 Of these. 179, ghtly more than half-were Fords. The pre- vious best month was June, 1922. with 2S9.011 cars. The total pro- duction for the first quarter of the present year was SS2,672 motor ve- hicles. At that rate the yearly fig ures would exceed 3,500,000, but 1t is not believed that this ratio will be maintained. One reason is that the exceptionally large buying will moderate after June or July. An other is that. even if the buying wave should continue, manufacturers may be forced to curtail their out put due to the difficulty of getting material. Most of the large manu- lecturers are well supplied for two or three months.
 Plate Glass stiIl Scarce.
 The chief scarcity at present Is plate glass. and that is already af- fecting the output of bodies for closed cars. It is quite possible that there will be a scarcity of some of the more favored closed body mod els before summer. Conservative es inmates figure on yearly produc- tion of at least 3.000.000 cars. In deed. some of the industry's execu- tives are heralding 1923 as the 3,000,000 year.

ARTICLE |. When To Sound Your Automobile

Five seconds-that is the distance in terms of time that every automo- bile driver should remember-for the automobile horn should be sounded five seconds distance from the ner- son or persons to be warned in order to give them sufficient time to get out of the way.
 In case of motorist driving in the congested business sections of ety. where tracks are often encoun- tered, it is advisable to sound the given point of traffic cong estion.
 During night driving the horn should be sounded frequently to let the driver ahead know where you are, just as he signals you with hi, stop-light signal on tho rear of hie automobile.
 The main point I wish to make 1. that the average motorist today does not sound his horn in time to warn pedestrians and automobile drivers and that he Is not . particularly good judge of distances as related to tray. cling speed.
 The two most important elements In any discussion of the proper time to sound a horn are tho rate of speed lat which sound travels and the rate or speed at which the automobile Is travelling when the horn is sounded. Sound travels at the rate of HOO feet per second. late five seconds time into terms of distance: It Is apparent that when an automobile is travelling at the rate of 50 miles per hour or 73 feet a second the automobile horn should be sounded earlier than when the automobile is travelling at the rate of 10 miles per hour or l4 feet a second.
 Take a speed of IS miles an hour as the average for city driving. At Is miles an hour. car travels 23 feet a second. The warning should be given at distance of no feet.
 The next important speed to re- member is 30 miles an hour-as 1t Is at this or slightly higher speed that |intercity and cross-country travelling is done. At this speed, the car travels ~ feet per second. Less than 200 feet notice is not enough.
 These distances for the most com mon speeds can easily be remem- bered It is well. of course. if the motorist can visualize these dis tances by the length of city blocks The average city block runs from 300 to 800 feet. The horn warnings. ac- cording to the figures I have given. should then be given when about one third of the block away to warn pedestrians and motorists at the next intersecting street.
 There is no reason why the sound ing of the horn five seconds dis |tance from any given dangerous point should not become . habit. Tho street car motorman sounds his bell before coming tc an intersecting street considerably before he reaches that point. Why not the motorist, instead of continually slamfning on his brakes when he Is on top of the hA xuic A vuyo Pv19 The next article will deal with the subject of saving the mechanism ct the car through greater and more timely use of the horn.

SOLD LAND FOR SONG
But State Of Maine Now Wants For.
 tune For It

AUGUSTA, Maine. April 2S.-When the state of Maine in 1888 sold Ogun- quit Beach in the town of Wells to New Hampshire resident for $100. it disposed of property which since the popularity of the Maine shore as a summer resort became marked has returned great profits. Now the owner, who has since sold to cot tagers much of the property, threat ems to sell the beach itself to per- sons who would close it to the pub lie, and permanent and summer res- idents have asked the state to buy it back for s35, 900.
 The beach property was part of the Ferdinand Gorges grant in the early days of the colonization of the Maine coast. In 1646 the Gorges family disposed of it, and in 1878 the state of Massachusetts took over the property. In 1921 the new state of Maine bought half of it, acquir- ing the rest 30 years later.
 After the sale of the property, residents formed the Ogunquit cor. poration. which has leased it for successive terms of years in order to keep it open to the public. The lease calls for payment of $1,500 a year. ii
