 Relative to reports that the ad- ministration was contemplating the immediate return of the national railways to private ownership, president stated that he had ordered detailed report submitted to him upon the condition of the railways, their financing, rolling stock and rights-of-wa for the purpose of making comparison of their pres- ent condition with that obtaining when they were taken over by the government.
 Unless the government could make the railways self-supporting anl reduce the present excessive tar ifs, thus aiding the national com- merce and industry, General Gales asserted. he was firmly decided to return the lines to the private own CTS.
 withe regard to Anglo-Mexican re- lations. the president said the only way through which normal inter- course can be resumed is through spontaneous action by Great Britain, since it was impossible for Mexico to submit to pre-recognition condi- tions.

TRUCK MAKERS
BUY WITH
CARE
White Motor Company Con-
sta otIy Tests incoming Ma
leriaI Used in Plant

Before a great manufacturing con-
Germ producing motor equipment
can serve it's own customers It
must first be a tremendously big
and discriminating customer Itself
much more so than the buyer of it's
product may realize
The White Motor Company, of
Cleveland, for example, has a large
new building of three floors devoted
solely to receiving and immediate
inspection of incoming raw ma
terials to be made into White trucks
and buses. Here are railroad freight
sidings and platforms, where half
a dozen motor trucks can load or
unload at once. Hand trucks, in
,dustrial trucks, overhead cranes are
busy every day pouring in tons of
material--iron and steel castings,
forgings, screw stock, machine steel,
steel tubing, iron sheets, aluminium,
copper, lumber, leather paint and
varnish, glass and dozens of other
items.
And scarcely have these touched
the floor when inspection, safeguard
ing the White reputation for quail
ity and performance, begins. Sam
pies are drilled from the ends of
steel bars for chemical analysis and
other samples subjected to rigid
physical and metallurgical tests A
model machine shop on the second
floor of the building is used exclu-
.sively in preparation Of samples for
tests.

HUDSON ESSEX
PRICE CUTS
CITED
Production Held Result, Not
Cause, of Increase in
Business Volume

Following every reduction in
Hudson and Essex prices. we, re.
peatediy hear, the question, How
does hudson do it?'" said Walter
Lambert, distributor of Hudson and
Essex cars for Washington, in
commenting on the recent Hudson
Essex price reductions.
This question: continued Mr..
Lambert, lis of considerable inter
est to both the buying public and
competitive motor car merchants
because these reductions come at
times when there is the least reason
to expect them. The presumption
in motor circles is that the reduc-
tions are made to make Hudson
Essex cars available to a still
wider field OF buyers.
"The fact of the matter is that
these reductions are the result,
rather than the cause, OF a COLI
stantly increasing volume of bust
ness.
Buyers are asking what there Is
about Hudson Essex manufacturing
and selling methods which makes
these cuts possible-what method or
stunt can be held responsible. The
answers to these questions arc
most logical.
Throughout Hudson's manufac-
turing and selling organization
there is the highest degree Of CO.
operation. At the factory the ut
most care is taken to eliminate
waste in time and materials and to
utilize only the best obtainable
material and workmanship
Then, too, Hudson Essex has
Easic advantages i'm being the larg-
est manufacturer of six.cylfnder
cars in the. world and also the
worlds greatest specialist in EN-
closed cars, 95 per cent, of its
volume being in this type Nof bust.

SuppIementing the drawing for
complete car spaces at the Nation
al Automobile Shows Of 1926 in
New York and Chicago early next
year, the Motor and Accessory
Manufacturers Association last
week allotted space to nearly one
hundred makers of all products
Of the industry except completed
vehicles. Later there will he a.
second allotment of space to other
makers whose applications either
had not been received or could
not be acted upon at the time of
the drawing.
Exhibiting members of the M.
A. NJ. A. will take most of the
third and fourth floors Of Grand
Central Palace in New York and
all the available space at the Coli
scum exhibition in Chicago except
that required by the car manu-
facturers. They will exhibit motors,
parts, accessories and service equip
ment OF all kinds-the incidentals

A majority of the space assign

show their wares in both cities.
many of whom have been in every
national exposition since the inaug-
uration OF the national shows "a
quarter Of a century ago. Somefdo
volume of business that exceeds
that of many of the car manufac-
turers. AS usual, there are a few
who will be in the New York show

On the Monday and Tuesday of
each national show from 10 a m.
10 p. M, the attendance will be
limited to the trade. to permit the
inspection and purchase Of supplies
OF all kinds under the most favor

were an innovation last year. and
proved so popular that they are
likely to be continued permanently

With virtually all space allotted,
the management and exhibitors will
now turn their attention to the

OVERLAND "5X"
STANDS ROAD
TESTS
Chassis Construction and
AxIes Provide Safety for
All Sorts of Going

Bearing out the contention of
designing engineers in constructing
a car oe maximum safety in al
kinds Of driving, hundreds of en-
thusiastic letters from new owners
of the Overland Six provide authen
tic proof Of the roa6ahility of this
car in all parts of the country.
Willys-Overland engineers, in de-
signing the Overland Six, spared
neither time nor. expense in de-
veloping a perfectly balanced chassis
which, combined with the nicely
hung spring suspension, would pro-
vide no sidesway or driving fatigue.
To accomplish this. the chassis w9s
divided into several parts, and the
staying and bracing of these in
dividual parts taken separately to
secure perfect road poise. Specially
designed cross members at the
front Of the chassis rigidly stay the
frame members.
These were so well balanced that
ell possible sendsway was eliminated
In the forward end of the chassis
which, in connection with the heavy
provide a rigid bfacing for the
chassis.
Owners, in commenting on, the
fine road balance of the Overland
Six. mention that the spring StIs-
pension of the car provides ideal
riding comfort. This was accom-
plished by the use of specially con
structed chrome vanadiun steel
springs of the seini-elliptic type.
34& inches long in front anu 81
inches in the rear, providing a
buoyancy in spring action. This
tape of spring is practically immune

toughness. Extra heavy cross
members in the rear complete the
heavy bracing Of the car, which,
together with the unusual strength
of the chassis frame members.
provide an exceptionally sturdy and
vet easy riding car.
