New Hudsons Give
More Gas Mileage

B 1.-THE public appreciation of the
New Hudson Super-Sixes and the
1ll-steel Essex. throughout the
country as well as in Augusta, over
shadows all the great receptions ac-
corded these cars in the past" said
Frank s. Carpenter. Hudson Essex
dealer.
1.-THE most casual glance at the
greater beauty of these cars explains
the spontaneous enthusiasm of their
welcome. And the permanence of
these impressions is insured in the
finer way they are built, and the last
ing satisfaction Of these greater
qualities.
"a ten million dollar investment
was added to the already great re-
sources devoted to the Essex, to
make the new all-steeI Essex coach
possible. Bolted and riveted. it is as
rigid as steel building. The steel
used is the same in quality and gague
as that used in cars costing several
times as much.

body and chassis must reveal the SUI
perior fashion in which Essex is
built. Plate glass instead of ordinary
sheet glass; genuine walnut steering
wheel: a four blade fan: roller valve
tappets instead of the ordinary type;
silent chain front end drive; over

Expert Kiva Secrets
Told BY Tree Rings

Flagstaff. Ariz., Aug. s8.-(P)-The
sciences of astronomy and botany
are conspiring to release a secret
locked in the decayed heart of an
ancient Indian civilization in this
region for perhaps hundreds of
years.
The secret is the date on which the
Indian kivas (T4opi for sacred
chamber'O were built. a fact to be
learned through a study of solar &C
tivity and the growth of trees.
Five Centuries OF Climate
DR.. L. A Douglass, director OF the
Steward Observatory here and pro-
fessor of astronomy at the Univer-
sity of Arizona, wears ago began a
study OF the rings found in tree
trunks with a view. among other
things, to determining the age of the
kivas. To date he has found record
ed in the trees annual rings" his
tory of climatic changes over a per-
iod of five centuries. This chronicle
TALES with astronomical observa-
tions of solar activity for the period,
His studies have taken him during
Norway, Sweden. Prussia Austria,
Bavaria and the states of Oregon,
California and Arizona. His interest
in pre- historic ruins was aroused by
observation of the climatic conditions
under which the yellow pine. common
in the western Rockies, was growing.
Drouth Rings
Much of Doctor Douglass work

has been done in this vicinity be-
cause the limited twenty two inches
of rainfall assured many clear nights
and superb skies for astronomical
observations. The forest furnished a
wealth of material for botanical
studies. The critical problem of the
tree was to survive periods of drouth
rather than to compete with other
species of plant life in the struggle
for existence. and the wax and Nane
of tree growth is chronicled in the
size OF the tree trunk rings.
KiVas Beams Secret
The greatest drouth in this region,
Doctor Douglass finds, was from 1913
to 15S6.and the tree rings held the
record for more than three centuries
before man discovered ii. However,
the biggest drouth in the entire
southwest occurred during the years
1929 to 1889.

the kivas of the old Indian ruins Of
this section. Doctor Douglass be-
lieves he will ascertain climatic con-
ditions at the time they were built

records of Arizona trees and of the
big Sequoias of California Will re-
veal. he hopes. the actual years IN
which the sacred chambers were
constructed.

Following the announcement a
week ago by the Packard Motor Car
company of the improved Packard
six, the company now makes public
details of improvements which are
said to have given this well known
car big increase in power, speed,
performance, beauty. comfort and
safety. Packard calls the eight the
BOSS of the road" and asserts it
can ut-perform any stock car in the
world in everything from agility to
top speed on the open road.
The same slim thoroughbred like
lines for which the eight has been
distinguished have been retained but
they have been so refined as to add
greatly to the appearance of the car
say those who have viewed it. An
nouncement of the company says
that the long continued policy of al
lowing for individual expression with
an almost endless combination Of

ed and sand blasted. Even the fer
rules on the spark plugs have been
nickel plated as have the nuts used
on the spark plug terminals.
Aluminium alloy pistons with Invar
steel struts are used in the engine.
With the new method of slotting the
skirt developed by the Packard en-
gineers they are set with a tolerance
of only two thousandths of an inch,
preventing shaping of~loose pistons
when the motor is cold. AS in ths
improved six. the cylinders and
crankshaft journals of the eight are,
honed with honing stones as fine as
those used in bringing a razor to
the keenest edge. This precision in
manufacturing. typical Of the whole
car, is protected by the oil rectify-
ing and chassis lubricating systems,

excessive wear which Packard was

go into reverse and gears cannot be
stripped.
A final test of the new device was
recently made. Three cars equipped
with the shift started from Larch-
mont, \. u, and made the trip to
Boston with the driver of the test
car manacled to the wheel. His right
hand was made fast by handcuff
which was not removed until the
car reached the automobile speedway
near Atlantic City. This trip was
continued from Boston through
Massachusetts, Connecticut. New
York and New Jersey to Philadel-
phia and then to Atlantic CITY.
During the return trip the test
car was driven by Ira Vail, cham
pion dirt-track driver, who was
manacled as the first driver had
been. At Larchmont. \. y, the
handcuff was unlocked by the Chief
of Police in the presence of other
town officials and of George L. Sex
ton representing the inventor. Driven
by day and by night and through
