eat up the miles faster than tremen-
dous bursts of speed followed by Pc
RODS of relaxation, and will also
sharply advance the safety of high

These arc the opinions of William

perience and observations of Cadillac

Strickland states. "the best makes Of
cars today will stand without injury
the stress of high speed. The rate of
travel is not a matter of what the

drivers judgment. But if getting

object, moderate, continuous travel
is the proved best ~method-and the

high-speed driver seldom Is.
"Then, too, the safety factor Of
moderate driving should never be
overlooked. Driving hazards at 40

great as they are at 40. IL one car is
moving westward at 20 and another
eastward at so, they are approaching

THREE MAJOR POINTS
IN HUDSON DOORS

A new and interesting develop

nounced in the 1928 Hudson Su-
per-Six deluxe models, now on
display by Earl Seger, Hudson-Es-
sex dealer. This step forward
centers around a feature of de-
sign which hitherto has not been
greatly noticed by body engineers
the doors.
'sFor tbs series Of deluxe cars,
Hudson designers went after three
major points, said Mr.. Seger. First
the doors should be permanently
silent. Second. they should assist
distinctive and modish appear
ance. Third, they should be
staunch and weather-tight.
"The usual idea Of an automo-
bile door," said Mr.. Seger, "has
been to build it heavy and strong
and to fit it closely and snuglv to
the body-the closer the better.
But in these bodies another line
of thought altogether Is followed.
The lower half of each door is Of
standard design heavily con-
structed and fitting tightly-but
above the belt line the structure
consists only of strong but slend-
er steel frame to hold the win
dow glass in place.
"The doors close against hol-
low springly rubber tubing, with
no metal-to-metal contact what
ever. A quarter inch clearance is
maintained between the under
edges of the door and the door
jambs. The door is thus literally
insulated from the body, yet
tight and permanent joint Is as
sured. The whole summed-up re-
suit is individually and distinction
of appearance, permanent silence,
and letter visibility. Similar de-
signs have been used in custom
cars costing from $4,000 to $1,000
but Hudson is the first standard
maker to adopt the idea"

Edwards is of the opinion that

Thus. in eating, the cows got the

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, September T.
There are other ways of earning iv-
ing IN Hollywood than standing the
grind of the extra" life.
Douglas Fairbanks. jr, reports a
unique and lucrative vocation when ne
saws some of the bright boys OF the
colony are trying successfully.
Doug. jr.. had a cigarette IN ms
mouth and was about to spin the Wheei
on his patent lighter when pleasant
faced man stepped up to him ano salo:
"Bet you a flyer that lighter won't
work the first time"
Taken" said Doug, jr., and promptly
struck flame.
nrod,Iced a perfectly good dollar bill
and handed it to Doug. The latter ask
ed what the graft was. Thought per-
haps he was advertising some new pat
ent or was agent for guaranteed
lighter.
It seems the pleasant-faced man once
worked as an extra Got SIS and $3.50 a
day for long and tedious hours. An idea
struck him while waiting in a hotel for
an appointment. He observed that many
lighters struck fame only after the
second attempt.
j. seems it is quite easy to rouse the
gambling spirit in Movieland, where
money is easily come by and gayly dis
posed of. And the pleasant young man
clears as much as $50 day when fiints
are worn down and luck is running
high.
Douglas Fairbanks, jr, was casting
for his new picture. Since it Is to be
a romantic sequel to his musketeers
story, he wanted imposing men who
could walk gracefully and sweep the
floor with their pluned hats IN cav
