ESSEX SIX
IS FAST AUTO
Model Is Somewhat Lower
In Weight With Less
Head Resistance

IN interesting reviation from
common practice is found in the
transmission of the ~speedster model
Of the 1929 Essex line, Just intro
duced. Since this model has a
somewhat lower weight and con-
sidcrabiv less head resistance than
standard closed models. for which
the regular Essex transmission Is
designed. tire Hudson Motor Car
company. according TO the engineers
has provided a higher top-speed
with relatively lower engine revolt
utionS per mile.
The customary way to achieve this
end Is Ia provide n lower axle gear
ratio. While in the Essez speedster
the final reduction has been drop
ned from SIS to 500. it was felt that
the tcp-gear reduction could be de-
creased even further. and with this
end in view a three-sreed trans
mission was developed in which an
ove--drive Is substituted for the US
ual intermediate set of gears.
In the production of this new
Transmission are rSed. with the ex-

ROOSEVELTS SLAY RARE PANDA.
MINOR DEITY OF ASIATIC TRIBE
Priests Conduct Rites to Purify Natives

Animal Is Bagged.


BY the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, May "a. - Kermit and
Theodore Roosevelt, the latter of whom
has accepted the governorship Of Porto
Rico, have killed what they describe as
a giant panda, rare Asiatic animal,
weighing more than 200 pounds and
stretching seven feet from nose to tail,
Its skin and skeleton will be taken by
Kermit to the Field Museum at Chicago
when he leaves here shortly Tor the
United States.
(Although the Roosevelts described
the animal as a "panda," available ref
erence works give its name as pand-
arctos: the panda is a comparatively
small carnivorous animal, living in the
eastern HimalayaS)
Kermit said he and his brother dis
covered the animal in the Lola country,
in the Asiatic hinterland, after they had

almost given up hope of obtaining a
specimen. One morning they discovered
panda tracks in the snow and followed
them They found the animal sleeping,
both Kermit and Theodore shooting at
it to be sure it did not escape.
The Lola runners accompanying the
expedition refused to carry the carcass,
since the animal is minor deity among
them. They almost never see a panda
and never harm one when they do. The
tribal priest conducted rites to purify
the tribe and drive off avenging spirits.
The tribe continued friendly. however,
showing no resentment for the killing
of the sacred animal.
Kermit said he was suffering from a
peculiar malady which he judged was
the result of eating native food in the
Lola country. He said acute stomach
pains required almost every fortnight.
