They're Valuable for Car
Owners to Remember as
Winter Comes

DUm u #.t
That Is a word we an object to
hearing and yet the motor car
owner who fails to heed the ''don't''
OF winter win have trouble.
Gradually the motoring public
have become accustomed to the
needs Of winter driving but for
The benefit Of the majority Of
drivers who have not experienced
the winter troubles, II. C. Snow.
chief engineer Of the vslie Motors
Corporation, Moline, H., has pre-.
pared list Of ''don'ts" for winter
motoring:
Don't forget to put at least 80
per cent alcohol solution in the
radiator" is his first warning.
Don't neglect to provide chains
and where possible put them on all
four wheels.
Don't neglect to have the brakes
inspected to see that they take
evenly on either the front or rear
wheels. A brake out Of adjustment
will cause a skid that may be
serious.
Don't forget to have the oil in
the transmission and rear end
changed to lighter grade during
the cold months.
Don't let your car stand Iona
without having the battery checked
and keep your caFburetor adjusted
to winter conditions.
Don't, above all, forget to change
the oil frequently. It may save
you a big repair bill at q later
date"
If these simple rules are followed
Mr.. Snow says, the average motor
list will have little trouble keeping
his car going during all Of thu
cold months.

ESSEX HUDSON
AUTOS ARE
GUT
Closed Models Reduced.
Coach Now Cheaper Than
Open Car

Substantial price reductions on
Hudson and Essex coaches were
announced today by Walter Lam.
bert, of the Lambert. Hudson Motor
Company. following the receipt Of a
special message from the factory.
The reduction results in Hudson
coach, closed car, now selling ct
less than the standard open cars
on the same chassis. This Is the
first time in motor car history when
this has been true. it is believed.
The Hudson coach's new list price
Is 81 1895 as against 81, 400 for the
four-passenger open super-six car
and $500 for the seven-passenger
open car.
The Essex coach at $945 IL still
slightly higher than the Essex open
car, but the difference IL declared
by Hudson. Essex officials to be the
smallest in the industry aside from
Hudson.
This move by the factory is un,
expected because the last few
weeks has seen substantial mum.
Der OF motor car price increases
is taken to mean that Hudson Essex
now regards open cars as luxurieG
and proposes to give the advantage
Of volume production to the inclosed
cars, which make up at least 80
per cent Of It's production. Open
car and sedan prices are unchanged.
Officials at the factory said that
this reduction was made possible
because 1924 had been the largest
sales year in the Hudson history.

What They Read

Have you ever watched city
dweller read his daily paper? He
buys one just before boarding a street
car. He glances at the headlines,
turns to the sports or market column,
and then goes over the comic strip.
By that time the car has arrived at
its destination, and the paper is either
thrown under seat or deposited in
the nearest curb waste can.
Perhaps the reader cannot be blam-
ed. No doubt he does not find much
of interest.
But contrast this with the attitude
of readers of the home town paper.
1t comes into the house. Everyone
is interested-each member of the
family wants to see what is going on
in the community.
Then after everyone has read it
to neighbor or sent away to dis
tant relative or friend. 1t is read
carefully word for word while almost
everything in the city paper is pass
ed up with scarcely a glance.
This explains why national adver-
tisers are turning to country papers
whenever possible They find that
the best way to get results is through
the columns of papers like the Re
porter, that go into the homes.-Win-
dom Reporter.

Camper of Kansas, it was learned that
the President has not decided against

of the new fiscal year. Mr.. Coolidge
still adheres to his previous declara-
ton that nothing can be done on fur
Their tax reduction until the Govern
ment knows the state of it's finances
at the close of the fiscal year.
The President is confident the bal
ance sheet will show the savings, but
he insists on having the evidence be-
fore proceeding. Mr.. Longworth cast
doubt on whether the short session
will be able to repeal income tax pub
licity. He suggested it would be I'M
possible to deal with any phase OF
the tax question. Longworth favors
repeal of the publicity features.
About all Congress will have time
to attend to will be the appropriation
bills, Mr.. Longworth said after call
ing on the President.
Senator Capper told the President
he sees no need for special session
of Congress. In his opinion, all that
needs to be done can be done at the
short session if Congress will work a
little instead of talking so much.
Capper is one Of those who voted
for the income tax publicity and is
against the repeal. Publication OF
the returns, by the way, disclosed that
Capper, popularity supposed to be a
millionaire, paid no taxes this year.
With Capper joining Senator Norris
of Nebraska and other proponents OF
income tax publicity, the chances for
repeal at the short session are dim
med very much. Perhaps it was be-
cause of the attitude of these sena-
tors, who could filibuster the proposal
to death, when the time is so short,
Longworth indicated no attempt
would be made in that direction
