Is Pct. of All
Cars Are Now
Closed Models

Among the marked tendencies in
the automobile industry of the past
five wears has been the steady
growth of the closed car. In 1916
only slightly more than one per
cent of all ears manufactured in the
country were closed. This percent
age has steadily risen until today
more than 20 percent of all ears
manufactured are closed models.
William II. Lewis, Hudson and
Essex de;;ler has just received fig

tion. The Hudson Motor Car Com.
pany, which manufactures both
hudson and Essex ears, has for the
past two wears led all manufactur,
ers in the production Of closed mod
els. Their output is now IS percent
closed ears.
First Coach Models
Early in 1922 the Hudson Com
panv announced the Hudson and
Essex Coach models. They had
foreseen that the demand was to

not wish to pay $500 to 5000 differ
ence between the closed and open
models. The coach Was the embodi-
ment of two clearly marked ideas =.
first, a closed ear of sound value.
second, Il closed ear at not greatly
more than the price Of the open
model.
The first of these ideas was OBJ
tanned by putting coach on the
regular Hudson and Essex chassis.
There was no change in the quail
- Of these in making the Coach
model; in short, at no time was it
Considered permissible to sacrifice
the chassis and engine value in or
der to leave n wider cost margin
for the body.
The second was obtained by build
ing a closed body substantial ard
serviceable in every respect, but
omitting many of the unnecessary
extras which tended to make closed
bodies as a whole so expensive. The
materials used in this body were the
best obtainable.
This type of ear proved its pop
ularity and justified its manufac
turer. The number OF coaches on
the streets is becoming very notice
able.

High Jinks and

"'Brawley and the Forty and

in the minds of most American
Legion men for tonight and the eel
ebrated "inner circle of the Leg
ion is due to make its initial bow
in Imperial Valley when LA So

is instituted in the northern city.
Nearly everyone knows that the
term Forty and Eight y has refer
ence to the dinky French freight
ears in which the soldiers of the A.
r. +. were transferred from place
to place while in France. The
French military authorities, through
long experience, believed the capaci-
ty of their freight ears was limited
to 40 men or eight horses, and had
this notation chalked in French on
the outside of each car Many a
doughboy will willingly swear that
he has ridden in French freight ears
in which 10000 men and millions of
eooties were packed.
Came in Freight Cars
At the first annual convention of
the American Legion, some of the
Legionnaires came TO the convention
at indianapolis in freight ears. This
hit the fancy of the Legionnaires,
with the result that the 'Fortv and
Fights were organized. The move
ment spread rapidly throughout the
country, and today nearly every
county where the American Legion
has been established. has it's Noiture

In three recent crimes which have
stirred the public police investigation
has disclosed that the inspiration of
the crime and the suggestion of the
method by which il was attempteC C!

shown in the community.
In one criminal attempt a promi-
nent citizen was instructed by the
Black Hand to deposit a large sum
nf money in the corridor of railroad
car. The agent of the Black Hand
appeared to collect. and the investi-
cation that followed his arrest
proved conclusively that his inspira-
ion came from an American film
called The Secrets of New York
In case of boy banditry it was
proved that the suggestion of the
crime came from another American
film. In still another case, where a
robbery by adult bandits was com
mitted, 1t was also discovered that
the suggestion as to both crime and
method came from an American film
then running locally.
"A doubly regrettable feature of
such presentations is that they ut
