HUDSON EIGHT
PRESENTS MANY
new FEATURES
Exterior Appearance I'm
proved: Wider Doors and
More Leg-Room.

Many refnementS have been in
corporated in the entire new greater
Hudson eight body line TO improve
the interiors and further modernize
the exterior contour, molldings and
general appearance. This is accom-
plished without loss Of the distinc-
tive fundamentals which have char
acterized Hudson bodies in the past,
but the low-hung, streamline effect
is greatly enhanced.
Adding to the attractive appear
ance of the steel bodies is a bronze
chromium plated grid, a component
part Of the radiator shell with a
suitable ornament in place of the
customary radiator filler cap and a
new sturdy lamp tie-rod provides a
rigid, practical. as well as orna-
mental support to the new tenders
and spheroidal lamps.
Pleasing Rear Exterior
The contour of the deep flanged
tenders noSed down over the tires
at front and rear has been designed
to coincide synmetrically with the
general flow of wheel and body lines.
Bonnet louvres are considerably
larger than 1890 and are extended
upwardly above their former loca-
ton, increasing the air circulation
and improving the front and APP
pearance. A complete new line of
bumpers, redeSigned hub caps, run
ming board and exterior hardware
are provided on all models. New
color options, long feature of Hud-
son, are available. Side lamp brack-
cts, lamps, and windshield visor
tremendously follow the exterior
motif.
New exterior mouldings at the
belt extend the full length of the
bonnet to the radiator shell. At
the rear of the lower body above
the dust shield the moulding is car
ried to a greater height than pre-
viously. This revision, coupled with
the development of a new rectan-
gular rear window and the new belt
moulding, provides pleasing rear

Of four years and more of expert

W|LLYS IS LAUDED
Proves Worth in Hands of
Driving Thousands.

The real test of an engines in
built efficiency under all operating
conditions is after thousands of
them have been placed in the hands
Of owners. In this way they are
subjected to every kind Of driving
test and If they have been designed
properly and built to Withstand the
rigors Of steady use, their perform
ance will be satisfactory.
Buyers OF cars with untried power
plants usually have certain fears
as to whether or not the engine will
stand up under everyday use,
whereas buyers Of cars employing
engines that have proved their eff
flciency during many months OF
operation have the right to expect
highly efficient performance from
the start.
Each power plant in the 1881
WHY'S Eight and the WHY'S Knight
Six, over period Of twelve months
in the hands of thousands of own
ers, has proved It's highly efficient
development and only such changes
that would better an already out

corporated In the 1881 engines in

BOSTON, Feb. 14.-By following
- the Golden Rule. all the high
way problems which confront the
nation could be remedied. That's
the belief Of Daniel L. Marsh,
president OF Boston university.
The Golden Rule is the traffic
rule beyond comparison" he says.
To refresh motorists memories, he
has compiled a set of ten rules, the
first letter Of each of Ten Com
n1aadments" taken in order, form
ing the words Golden Rule"
The rules follow:
81. Give the other fellow the
benefit of the doubt. If the pedes-
TRAN has the slightest doubt about
his ability to cross the sidewalk in
safety he had better wait. If the
motorist has the slightest doubt
about the intention Of other motor.
lists or Of pedestrians, he had better
assume that they are all fools eX-
cept himself, and conduct himsell
accordingly.
/ Stop! Look! Listen:
90. Obey traffic rules. They are
the latest result of human wisdom
acting upon human experience foI
the safety Of us all.
"3. Look! If the modern motor
ist and pedestrian do not look, they
will not live!
"a. Drive diScreetly. Let you
action, whether on foot or in the
motor car, be dictated by judgment
rather than impulse.
"5. Envy not the person whose
machine goes faster than yours
Keep calm.
IS. Never be presumptuouS on the
highway. The nlotoriSt has no right
to proceed with overweening con.
f1dence in his own ability or ir
either the fear or the politeness o.
others to let him get by.
Watch the Road
81. Rivet attention upon what yoi
are doing. The pedestrian Of to-
day would be much safer If he wert
as alert to things as possible.
%. Use your head. 1t is bette,
to use it than lose 1t.
g. Love your fellow man. If yo
do not love your fellow man enough
to give him room and right, theI
foster your love for him by beinl
kind to him.
40. Enjoy life. The AUTOMOBILES

GEARS MESH SILENTLY
Graham Adopts New Transmission
Providing NOiseless Shifting.

AS an important mechanical con-
tribution to its new line Of cars,
Graham this year introduces the
Synchro-silent four-speed transmits

In this new four speed transmits

brought to the same speed before
actual engagement commences, so
that the change Of gears is made as
quietly as if engine and car both

HITS M. E. BISHOPS
FOR CANNON STAND
Georgia Pastor Says Right to Peti-
ton Destroyed by Church Heads
in Blocking Custer.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTA. May 23.-The Constitu-
ton, in special dispatch from Sparta,
Ga, says the Rev. Rembert G. Smith Of
the Methodist Episcopal Church South
today issued statement in which he
charged the College of Bishops had de-
MED the right of petition to its mem
bers and permitted Bishop James Can
non, jr., to express contempt for the
United States Senate without reprimand.
Bishop Cannon's contempt for the
Senate was expressed in an official
meeting of the college, Mr.. Smith said.
The statement reviewed the meeting OF
the college in Nashville on May l, and
asserted that ''by refusing to consider
petitions for the resignation Of Bishop
Cannon" the bishops exceeded their au-
thority and removed the right Of petit
ton from the membership of the
church."
"In the Methodist Episcopal Church
South we have in the last few years wit
messed political activity by some of our
bishops which many of our members
have considered violatiye of their rights,
and now they are told that the right
Of petition is no longer theirs, Mr.. Smith
said.
"Cannonism threatens to wreck the
church The Methodist Episcopal
Church South cannot endure half &C.
clesiastical and half political"
Mr.. Smith recently filed suit for dam
ages against Bishop John M. Moore and
Bishop Edwin Mouzon of the church,
charging libel and SANDER.

Grafton That Triumphed
Kansas Contestant Shows HOY Constitution Has
Stood the Tests of Time, Bearing Ont Franklins
Rising Sun Prophesy on Occasion of Signing.

The winning grafton by Robert Ray
burn Of Newton High School, Newton,
Kans.. in the Eighth National orator.
cal Contest last night, follows:
Picture with me that group Of SIS
statesmen gatheren together in Phila-
delphia in the Summer of 1887. Con-
slider how the responsibility of an in
FAINT nation lay heavy on their hearts.
Visualize their anxiety as the conven-
ton drew near to close. and then you
will understand how the specter of
failure haunted their souls as they
sat gazing at that half-disk of sun
painted on the back of WaShington's
chair. To them this picture was en-
blematic Of the destiny of the Consti-
tuition. 1t brought to their minds that
famous question, voiced by Benjamin
Franklin, Is it a rising or a setting
sum- Truly did it challenge their
ability and their faith. Then, as
Franklin, the master mind Of the con-
vention, af1xed his signatre to the
Constitution, he answered the question,
1t is rising sum!
Has our Constitution stood the tests
and thus made Franklin's answer one
Of truth? The reply comes from the
pages Of history
The first great test was that of
infancy. Could nation so small and
so immature as this one thrive in oppo-
sition to the towering monarchies with
their trained diplomats, their power and
their wealth? The answer to this ques-
ton came with the Inauguration of
Washington as President of the Union.
He, with his commanding personality,
his military and political genius, and
with the help Of our two pioneer states
men, Jefferson and Hamilton. safely
piloted the ship of state through this
first great trial. The Republic began
to yield new citizenship and to take
UP its role as a self-suff1cient nation;
by degrees its economic stability awas
secured; harmonious relations with
other nations were gradually estab-
lished; and the blessings of peace were
assured for them and their posterity.
Territorial Expansion.
Then came the test of territorial ex-
pansion. The lure of the frontier called
10 the brave of the land and they began
to push across the continent to estab-
lish farms, villages. and cities beyond
the hand of the law. But the Constitu-
ton again met the test, formed new
Territories, added new States to her
dominion and made provisions for the
development of their vast resources
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-05-24

So, again. our people kept faith with
their Government and upheld its poll
cies with patriotism most ardent and
sincere.
Immediately following the JOY of
this new victory came the fear of de-
Feat, for the storm clouds of civil strife
hung like shroud over the American
Nation and the Civil War, like a shut
tie, wove scarlet thread of blood
through the gray tissue of American
society. and the Constitution was faced
with the test of unity. Up from the
ranks of the lowly came Abraham Lin
coin, who was to guide the Constitu-
ton through this greatest trial of its
long career. Because of his unwavering
faith in American democracy, the strife
ceased and the Constitution was again
recognized as the supreme law of all
the land.
Vast Power Is Reward.
And now it comes to us today. un-
stained with corruption or failure. It
mas brought us from a struggling re-
public OF seaboard States to a vast
ocean to ocean imperial power: it has
carried us through every trial; it has
met every test It's present test is
power. With power comes temptation.
Temptation to forget the fundamental
principles Of justice and equality upon
which our Government was founded.
and If we fail in this period of unrest
to adhere to the fundamental law of
our land, our Nation will suffer decline.
desolation, decay; but with the allegi-
ance Of 100000 souls, our Constitu-
ton will triumphantly reign supreme
and our Nation will be sustained on the
pinnacle of world leadership. The ink
on the parchment where the Constitu-
ton has been engrossed for years is
faded, but if it has been written in
letters of living light, this country will
march On through the ages, with the
sun high over its head end the pure
blood Of an enlightened citizenship
surging through its veins.
Shall cur Government crumble and
fall, our Constitution fail and the sun
forever set on American democracy?
This answer is yours Democracy has
distributed hsr bounties May we be
willing to pay the pricel Let us
mobilize our forces to uphold, protect
and preserve the power that has been
given us, and let us raise this document
to the psak of esteem where it will live
on forever as the Immortal ConstitIl-
ton"

BLACK RAPS PROBERS
OF STATE PRIMARY
Questions Authority of Inquiry on
Legislative Expenditures by
Senate Agent.
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May 23.-United
States Senator Hugo L. Black tonight
issued a statement in which he ques-
toned authority Of the Senate subcom-
mittee investigating the last Alabama
senatorial election to inquire into cam
paign expenditures of candidates to the
Alabama Legislature.
The Senator said in a prepared state
ment: 1T is time to call attention to
the fact that some who are connected
with this contest are proceeding in
way that indicates the desire to give
Federal authorities more and more pow
er in State elections.
IAN agent of the committee has made
written inquiry as to the expenses of
candidates for the State Legislature in
Alabamas Democratic primary. 1t is
my belief that this is no business of the
committee.
Followed to its conclusion, this and
other actions of some of the commit
tee and the committees agents would
mean Federal supervision and control
of every election in Alabama from con-
stable to Governor"
