Hudson and Essex cars, are the new
Sculptured radiator ornaments of
classic design, representing heetness.
Motometers have been removed to
the dash.
Both cars are fitted with head
lamps of colonial design, and with
saddle lamps of like design, mounted
on the cowl.
Seats are spaced to give ample
room in both the front and the rear
compartments. They are form fit
ting, well-cushioned and uphol-
stored.
Richness In Detail
Other details combine to give an
impression Of richness, in the front
compartment, the panel between the
windshield and dash is Of distinct
i've burl walnut design. Just be-
meath, the instrument board is OF
ebony-black lacquer.
Set into this background the in
Struments are grouped under glass
including the motometer, oil and
gasoline gauges, anmeter and
Speedometer. Centered beneath is
the electro-lock, while at the LETT
is the starter button and to the
right the choke control.
An important feature in Essex, as
well as Hudson, is the new steering
wheel. This is slender in design,
formed with finger scallops, ana
colored an ebony black to match
the instrument board.
The whole unit, used until this
year only in very expensive cars,
not only enriches the appearance of
the car, but also promotes both
safety and easy handling, since its
weight is sufficient to absorb all
minor road shocks.
Lines Are Attractive
The standard cars, both on the
127-inch and the 118-hlch chassis.
are built on attractive lines. The
bodies are roomy, seats are form
fitting and upholstered in mohair.
The windshield panel is burl wal
nut; the dash is ebony black with
grouped instruments; the steering
wheel is steel-framed, with hard
rubber covering to fit the fingers.
Smoking sets are standard equip
ment.
In the two GLASSES a number of
improvements are incorporated.
Essex is now equipped with Bendix
four-wheel brakes and heavier
anti-friction steering gear. Hudson
frames have two tubular cross mem
bers. Essex, as we'll as Hudson, now
has the electro-lock anti-theft de-
vice.
Both cars continue their high
compression, high efficiency motors.
These are said to operate smoothly
on any type of gasoline, and through
intensive development to assure
even smoother and more powerful
performance.

Tail Light
BY sWEDE SWANSON

Don't be afraid to use your choke
but know how to use it.
To start a cold engine, use full
choke for a short period rather than
partial choke for a longer period-it
saves your battery and permits q
quicker start.
Use Just enough choke to keep the
engine firing evenly while warming
up-too little causes uneven run
ming, fouled spark plugs and crank
case dilution. Too much will flood
your engine and make it stop. Don't
fail to keep the choke closed after
the engine is running smoothly.
In extremely cold weather, back
out of the garage into the open air,
let the motor idle for few minutes,
or run for a block or so in second
gear before shifting to high. If you
start to stall, shift back to second,
put on full choke for an instant until
the engine picks up, then only
enough choke to keep 1t running. A
motor operates at maximum eff
cheney when its temperature is
around 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
Another essential rule to always
observe in starting, is to disengage
your clutch, and be sure no lights
are on. BY disengaging the clutch
the strain on the batter is reduced
at least Is per cent.
Don't race a cold engine and don't
start it until the garage doors are
wide open, because Of the danger Of
carbon monoxide.
These suggestions will save both
your temper and your car.

sity Of the motor car that it leads

NAME ON RADIATOR
New PierCe-ArroW to Bear
Shield of Famous Family.

Pierce Arrow, famous for years as
''the car without a nameplate on its
radiator" has recently appeared
with a colorful heraldic emblem
that is a fitting tribute to the
founder of the Pierce-Arrow Motor
Car Company.
The new Series 81 carries encased
In the nickeled shell of the radiator
the coat-of-arms and crest of the
Pierce family.
Pierce is an ancient family of
Northumberland, England, well
known long before the time of Eliz-
abeth. Thomas Pierce, immigrant
ancestor Of the Pierce family, came
to this country in 1633-34 and set
tied in Charlestown, Mass.
The coat-of-arms consists of
three ravens, rising on gold shield,
crossed with a bar of red. The
motto on the ribbon is "Dixit ct
Fecit," meaning "He Said and He
Did" The crest is a dove with an
olive branch in its beak.

A BRIEF. HISTORY OF A
GREAT ACHIEVEMENT

Nm THE Spring of 1925 Dodge
Brothers undertook an important
H. and gigantic task - which is now
complete.
Since its inception in 1914 Dodge
Brothers had specialized exclusively In
a four-cylinder product. During 'thir-
teen years more than two million units
of that product were sold to America
and to the world.
1t is unnecessary here to comment on
the singular merits of that famous Four.
1t was honored on the battIefelds of
war, and achieved equal distinction on
the highways and byways of peace.
Its long life and complete depend
ability had become an adage.
Meanwhile, however, times were
changing and tastes were changing
with them.
While still as important as ever, de-
pendability alone was no longer
sufficient.
Greater speed and comfort, more style
and luxury were the growing prepos-
sessions of the hour.
Two years ago Dodge Brothers zap
praised its task and embarked upon
a program designed to place it and its
Dealer Organization in position on
January l, 1928, second to none in
the industry.
The astonishing results of this great
achievement are now known to the
world.
1t is doubtful if industrial annals can

ESSEX-HUDSON
new LINE ONE
OF RARE CHARM
Price on Highly Important
Model Is Cut; Quality
Is Greater.

Advanced style is the outstanding
change in the new Hudson-Ess
line of cars introduced Jan. IA by
the r. v. Law Motor Company ana
all Hudson Essex dealers in this
territory. Motorists have viewed the
new cars simultaneously with the
throngs who attended the national
automobile show in New York City,
where the Hudson Essex line made
its formal bow to the public.
But though these new cars are
strikingly improved in style and
beauty, Hudson-Essex has kept a
keen eye as well on fundamentals
Of value; in fact, the price on a
highly important model-the Essex
four-door sedan-is reduced $40.
Hudson Essex presents this as the
only six-cylinder, four-door sedan
with a list price below the $500 level.
On the other cars some prices re-
main the same; others are ad-
vanced.
The new line offers a variety of
models-ten closed cars Immediately
while additional open and short
type cars will be ready for the
spring and summer season. These
are the Hudson standard built four
door sedan, and the custom built
victoria, landau sedan and seven
passenger sedan on the 127-inch
chassis; coupe with rumble seat,
a coach and a four-door sedan on
the 118-inch Hudson chassis, and a

Land FLEET OF
10000 MOTORS
SERVES NAVY
PunCture Problem Is Solved
by Use of BoWeS'
SeaI-Fast.
BY G. X. SPENCER

1t may interest the man-in-the-
street to know that there is an
other fleet in the naval command
which never goes to sea, unless it
be on the decks of naval transports.
That fleet is the more than 10000
motor vehicles which serve the ma
val forces ashore and ascertain that
when the fast naval motor sailors
put in to the docks along the shores
they always have their loads waiting
for them, loads of supplies for men
and ships and guns.
The naval motor system is an ex-
tensive command in itself, and it is
probable that no motors, even those
operated by the Army, see more diff
f1cult service under unusual and
sometimes desperate conditions.
The writer came upon Marine
dispatch car one day behind the
wire. 1t was loaded to the gun
wales with supplies for the Zine"
and its crew composed Of a cor
poral and two privates.
Repairs Quickly Made
Southern Chinese sympathizers
who had observed the Marines pass
ing and repassing behind the wire
had literally sprinkled the street
with various sharp devices designed
ITO puncture the tires of the dispatch
cars, all Of which carry pneumatic
tires, the solid tires being devoted to
other classes of cars and trucks.
It was almost as welcome a sight
as the Marines themselves in
Shanghai town to watch these three
fellows quickly rept iring a dozen
punctureS with their can of Bowes
Seal-FaSt. Under the seat of their
craft they had an additional box
Of cans of Seal-Fast for the motor
cycle corps further up the line.
One British major made bold to
request of the corporal previously
mentioned several cans of Seal Fast
for his own motor vehicles, which
had come over from Kong
with repair kits of the usual heat
vulcanizing type.
If Seal-Fast orders in the Orient
increased in any respect, the writer
shouldn't wonder but that the shop
keepers were impelled by the British,
for where the United States forces
were not officially supplied, the mo-
tor corps men themselves carried
their own Seal-Fast, bought from
their own personal funds.
Have Own Problems
Among the first supplies laid down
in Nicaragua, for the present oc-
cupationary forces we're 200 cans of
Seal-Fast.
An estimate at San Diego indi-
Gated that before the Marine Fourth
Regiment departed that port for
China, approximately three cans of
Seal-Fast were available for every
pneumatic-tired car which went
over.
1t is an interesting commentary
that Seal-Fast is the only speciality
for tire repair ever used by the
Naval or Marine motor units ex-
cept the notwithstanding kits sup
piled to the units by the Govern
ment.
These fellows who handle the me-
chanical mules have a problem to
contend with which does not con-
front the average automobile own
er. Their cars may be in San
Diego today and next month in
Hawaii or China or Alaska. This
constant climatic change works
havoc with rubber; more, it causes
rapid deterioration of all the tire
