HUDSON SUPER SIX SEDAN IF
 REF |NED DESIGN
This Type Preferred by Own CTS Who Prefer Good Taste and Simplicity of
 Lines

In explaining the fine points of the new Hudson Super-Six seven passenger sedan, A. R. Pryor of Pryor Motor company says:
 "The thoroughbred simplicity of design of the Hudson Super-Six sedan instantly establishes this model in a place of leadership. It is the type of car desired by owners who prefer the best of good taste and refinement. Richness and style are reflected throughout.
 Long body lines together with it's clean-cut design make the se- dan unusually smart in appearance, At the same time it's conservative ness assures you of motor car that will be in style for years.
 "Hudson bodies have always typi- fled that basic pureness of design that lives on. The lines of the first Super Six of years ago are attrac- tive and in good taste today.

.RICKENBACKER DOES
 83 MILES PER HOUR

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 10.-On the frozen two and one-half mile bricked oval of the famous Indianap- oils motor speedway, a Rickenbacker touring ear travelled at the rate of S3 miles per hour. The test was made with top and windshield up, com plete equipment and full compfe- ment of passengers.
 The car was run for a solid hour at the rate. of 63 miles an hour pre- vious to the trial for speed. In a speed trial Rickenbacker sedan made seventy-two miles per hour.
 The sedan was driven on a non stop 500-mile tour of the course at the, rate of 52 miles per hour and the touring car was driven 250 miles at a speed of 5S miles per hour.
 At a speed of 85 miles per hour, the Rickenbacker motor was turn ing up 4.1e0 revolutions per minute, according to c. L. McCuen, who con ducted the tests.
 The trials at Indianapolis were made at the conclusion of 4.500 with two Rickenbacker cars. Leav- ing Detroit the cars were travelled around the lake to Cleveland, thence to Buffalo and on to Springfield, Mass, south through Connecticut and into New York city. From New York the cars were driven through Philadelphia, west over the noun tains to Pittsburg and a dash from Pittsburg to Chicago-a distance of 5S0 miles-without a stop, in twenty two hours.
 Unusual conditions of s1eeN snow, rain and cold were encountered and the chains were necessary on the wheels during many miles of the ex- perimental journey.

NOUN MOTOR CAR JANUARY SALES ARE FAR AHEAD
First Month of This Year Equal to the First Four Months of Last
 Year

Stewart Mcdonald, president of the Moon Motor Car company of St. Louis. reports January sales came within 71 cars of equaling the conn bined sales of the first four months of last year. Business Is not spotty and @ nice volume Is coming in from every section of the country.
 While the transportation situation in the east is far from normal, Moon distributors for New York, Phila- delphia and other eastern points have overcome the transportation problem to a certain extent by or dering out cars In trainloads. These cars are shipped to certain point and are then distributed to the vari- ous dealers in the territory 1y the distributor. Many eastern dealers are having cars shipped by express, notably among them New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Utica.
 Export business is exceptionally good, and the company. expects to export approximately 10 per cent of their output.
 Plans call for the building of 5000 Moon cars in 1923 and MT. McDonald states that they do not expect to experience any difficulty in building this number. The plant at the pres ent time is building 1,250 cars per month, and this number will Le in- creased to 1,500 month not later than March 1.
 Distributors are taking cars at the same rate during the winter months as they will in the spring. The company has a warehousing plan that makes it possible for a dealer to fortify himself against a shortage of cars this spring, but so far they have not been able to &C., cumulate a great surplus of cars, as business has kept up to such an extent that they are finding ready sale for practically all the cars they are getting.
 No doubt, the extremely mild win ter has a great deal to do with this condition, but 1t is the opinion of most of the manufacturers that the al1-year-round buying of motor cars is fact and no longer a theory.
 Nineteen Twenty-three beyond a question of doubt is going to be the biggest year in the history of the automotive industry and sighted dealers are doing everything possi- ble to get cars during the inter months so that they will be all ready to take care of the enormous de- mand that will come in the spring.

 This is a striking illustration of the economy and dependable per- formance of the new Superior Chew rolet, according to Frank Stevens, and also a demonstration of the mileage possible by using Woco Pep, which says Thad Holt, was the mo- tor fuel used on the greater part of the trip.

 After looking over the show, en- ter my order for seven hundred and thirtyfour motor cars for delivery in January, February and March. Detail shipping orders and specified tions by mail.

ganization and has absolute confi- dence in it's policy and determination to keep Maxwell-Chalmers in front rank. Tell him that we are looking forward to the biggest year business that we have ever had. Start rolling cars now. We are set to go."
 Mir. Baker stated that the ship ment of the order will require about IA freight cars or approximately five trainloads.
 This is substantial indication of the confidence in motor car market ing conditions that prevails in east , ern territory. Coming shortly after the revita1ization of the Chalmers company it also stands as evidence of the confidence with which dealers view the outlook for Chalmers sales under Maxwell control.

Use of Acid Phosphate
Does Not Iniure Soil

Not infrequently the fear is ex-
pressed that the continued use Of acid
phosphate on land will increase the
sourness Of the soil. Experimental
evidence, however, shows that this
fear is unfounded. In fact, there Is
evidence to show that it has a slight
tendency to reduce the acidity. A
number Of experiments have been
conducted in which heavy applications
Of acid phosphate were made on GER
tain plots for a long period of years.
The results show that these plots are
not as sour as plots receiving no treat
ment.
The term "acid phosphate" Is pri-
marily a trade name; derived from
the fact that 1t is made by treating
raw phosphate with sulphuric acid
This name has been largely respon-
sible for the opinion. There
Is nothing In the material which will
injure the soil. Its use may confidently
be expected to produce entirely bene-
fetal results.
