Hudson Eight Has Three Wheel
base Lengths; Improves
ments Numerous

Detroit, Mich, March 26.-Two en-.
tirely new lines Of cars, q Hudson
eight In three wheelbase lengths, ano
new Essex six, are announced BY
the Hudson Motor Car company fol
1882. With completely modernized
streamlined bodies, q radically new
rigid frame construction, new power
plant, transmission system, equip
ment and fittings, the Hudson and
Essex cars for the coming season are
lower, more powerful, faster, better In
appearance and better equipped thar,
ever before.
The Hudson and Essex lines are
handled in Bismarck by Sandin-
Wilde Motors, Inc.
Parallel in design but dimensioned
to suit their own characteristics, the
Hudson and Essex cars are note
worthy for having introduced this
year q real custom touch in the pop
ular price field.
The Hudson Greater Eight engine,
now mounted on ll9, 126 and 1872
inch wheelbase chassis, develops 101
horsepower at 5000 rpm, gain of
II horsepower over that of last year,
and the Essex Six engine, on its 1l3
inch wheelbase chassis, develops 70
horsepower at 5000 rpm, q gain Of
10 horsepower over last year.

Bodies Of Steel
Year by year these bodies have
been made more and more completely
Of steel and the 1882 body is q cul.
mination Of this trend. The sheath.
ing Of the body is not relied upor
for its strength, instead the Hudson
and Essex bodies are built on q DO,
girder structural skeleton to which
the sheet steel body shell Is rigidl,
and silently secured.
Completely insulated for quietness
as well as against engine fumes ano
drafts, the new Hudson and Essex
bodies meet the new requirements
which have been made prominent
through selective free wheeling. The
integrity Of the body is maintained
through the life of the car by heavy
box girder construction throughout.
An unusually complete system OF up
holstery spring suspension has been
worked out. There are transverse,
lateral springs which are mounted as
a foundation for the vertical coil
springs In the upholstery. This COM
bination of horizontal and vertical
springs gives q neutralizing action
which greatly reduces the throw Of
the passengers in travelling over rough
and uneven roads.
Four Colors Offered
In planning the colors of the new
models, black, Of course, has been
made available on all models of every
car. In addition there are three 9TH
er basic colors-brown, blue and
green-all optional with the pur-
chaser.
One OF the important features Is
the new instrument board. This has
been entirely re-designed 50 that the
dials have figures that are two and
half times the usual size. A glance
is all that is necessary to read them.
New on these cars for this year are
such features as thermostatic car

alton devices, anti-flood choke, IN
take silencer, anti-back fire device,

A feature Is the accuracy Of the
workmanship in pistons and connect
ing rod assembly. The piston pins
for example, are Tapped to an out-of-
round of less than three ten-thou-
sandths Of an inch.
Just as in previous models all parts
subject to wear operate In . contin-
uous bath Of oil. The system used on
the new models, known as the Duo
flo Automatic engine oiling system, Is
so called because the flow is divided,
separate streams going to the front
and rear cylinders.
The carburetion and manifold sys.
tenn on these cars has been designed
with q larger breathing capacity
which has resulted In increased pow
er with reduced fuel consumption.
Both cars have q combination ST.
lencer, wet air-cleaner and back-fire
arrester mounted on the air intake.
Manifold System New
A new intake manifold system pro-
vides remarkably even distribution Of
oil with q multiple coil spring driven
gases to all cylinders.
The electrical features have been
modernized. Included Is standard
equipment this year Is the Startix
automatic cranking device which
keeps the motor operating and pre-
vents stalling as long as the ignition
key Is turned on.

SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE

One extremely important phase of the rail-
road problem-that of competition arising
from new carriers which have been mainly
developed since the warts fundamentally as
simple as the alphabet.
The problem is this: If one common carrier
is regulated by the Federal Government,
through the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, why shouldn't the others be? If one form
of transportation is taxed heavily by all forms
of government, why shouldn't the others be
taxed on the same basis?
Simple justice dictates hat all important
forms of transport, railroads, buses, trucks
and waterways, be placed under an identical
type of regulation. This would make for fair
competition and the effects of that would be
felt, beneficially, throughout the nation. I'm
fair competition has brought the railroads to
the verge of ruin.
What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the
gander. And what is considered good for the
railroads, should likewise be good for their
competitors.

row to rack the minds and bodies of
thousands who are not to blame. This
world of so-called industry must slow
up, go back and pick up where they
were when everyone was happy and
hold to it to save all of us, rich and
poor alike. With everything nechani-
cal' where can a mere man hope to
find a job?
Depression can be lifted for all time
IT the Government would allow no
more inventors to put their ideas on
the market, and put such a heavy tax
on every manufacturer that used these
labor and time saving machines that
it would justify them to install the
Older machinery, hire the dependable
human force instead of mechanical
force, which has already brought
thousands to destruction, and forced
them to stop buying. Then in return
these firms will be able to sell their
products promptly.
OF course, our Government law
makers in Washington could coincide
and have everyone back to work in a
short time.

Every country should improve its
ideas until there is work for every

that they can put nearly every
one out of employment and produce
just the same, it's time to stop and
think. No matter how cheap articles

would go down. Mr.. C. Brush, probably the
biggest of all the stock market operators,
frankly admitted that the business of Wal
Street is "a racket like Al Capone's," and he
confirmed what we have long suspected, that
people who are not professional traders in Sc
%curities are simply suckers when they dabble
in stocks and are sure to lose in the long run,
no matter which way the market goes.
We think one of the principal troubles of
the United States these days arises from the
extension to every corner of the country of
facilities for gambling on the stock market.
Of course, there must be an open market for
the purchase and sale of stocks and bonds,
and WI don't know any way to stop human
beings from gambling, in one form or another.
But we do think that it is just as r~eprehensible
to tempt the unwary into specializing on the
took market, as it is to try to take their mon
ey away from them by selling them lottery
tickets.

SHORT SELLING

There are some people who think it is a ter
rible thing to sell something you haven't got
in the hope or expectation that before you
have to deliver it you can buy it at price
lower than you have agreed to sell it for.
That is what so-called short selling" on the
stock market means. Nobody quarrels with
the man who contracts to deliver a hundred
head of cattle, for example, at the present
market price, because he believes that the price
is going down and that he will be able to buy
them for less and make a profit.
Congress has been investigating short SELL
ing on the Stock Exchange. 1t has not found
any evidence that anybody engaged in short
selling operations was doing anything more
serious than betting that the prices of stocks
would go down still farther. Sometimes they
did and sometimes they didn't. Several mil
lion people lost a lot of money in 1929 by
betting that stocks would go higher. That is
all that most of the transactions on the Stock
Exchange mean-betting that the market will
go higher or lower. Perry A. Rockefeller told
the investigators that he had lost many, many
millions betting that the market would rise
and had succeeded in winning only $780,
600 of it back by betting that the market

WE'LL SOON KNOW THE WORST

We are cheered by the news from Wash
ington that Congress expects to finish its
work by the early part of June and shut down
shop until next December. We have nc inside
information as to what the ultimate tax pro-
gram will be, or how the proposed reductions
in government expenditures will finally come
out. But we have lived in this world long en-
ough to know that any certainty, even the
worst, is better than an uncertainty. We know
and hear of many businesses and industries
which are marking time, waiting to find out
for sure what Congress is going to do about
taxes, before they can make their plans intel
ligently for going ahead. 1t may make all the
difference in the world whether one kind Of
a tax or another kind is finally decided upon.
But American business men and manufacture
ers have always had a happy faculty of ad-
justing themselves to conditions as they are,
and when they know exactly what the con-
ditions are we believe that there will be a
rapid and general revival in manufacturing
and trade.
Before the end of June the Presidential con-
v%entions will have been held and we will know
exactly what each party promises in its plat
form, and who it offers as its candidate for
the Presidency. That will remove another I'M
certainty. And we can then enjoy a pleasant
summer, hoeing corn and fishing and talking
politics, with the satisfying knowledge that
there isn't any more that we, as individuals,
can do about the situation until election day.
So we might as we'll tend strictly to our own
business from the fourth of July to the eighth
of November.

CHILD LABOR DECREASES IN STATE

CHILD LABOR DECREASES IN STATE
The number of children employed in in
dustry in North Carolina has decreased 20
per cent. in the last ten years, so that the prob
lem of child labor is becoming less of a prob
lem every year, according to E. F. Carter,
head of the Division of Standards and 1nspec-
ton in the Department of Labor, which has
charge of the enforcement of the States child
labor laws, replacing the former Child Wei
fare Commission, of which Mr.. Carter was ex-
ecutive secretary.
The largest number of children certified by
the State as eligible for employment in indus
try, and under 1e years of age, was in 1922
p, when 1925 children were certified, Car
ter said. Since that time the number has de-
creased 70 per cent, so that at the present
time only 1906 Children under 16 years of
age are certified for employment in industry
in North Carolina. At the present time, the
majority of the 1926 children certified are
between II and 16 years old, while in 1929
most of the 10,425 children certified then
were between IL and II years old.
During the peak years Of 1929 child
could be found employed on an average of
every six miles travelled by one of the inspec-
tOIS, DuI To-Day, or IOr the ISCaI year endlnS
June 80, 1881, only one child could be found
employed every 43 miles travelled by the in
spectors.
The decrease in the numbers of children en-
ployed in industry is attributed by Mr.. Car
ter to the increasingly better legislation that
has been enacted by successive legislatures,
to the better schools and the realization of
parents that it is better to keep their children
in school than to put them to work, and to
the realization on the part of employers that
ic, even if it is necessary to pay them more
than child workers.

THE FRIENDS OF DEPRESSION
Idle dollars are the best friends of depres-

Idle dollars are the best friends of depres-
sion.
They do no one good. Stuck away in strong
boxes-or socks!-they are entirely worth
less. They are unable to do their bit in carry
ing on the financial work of the world. They
are a sign of fear, of a hysterical kind of con-
servatism that mistakes boarding for thrift.
True thrift is a fine thing. 1t is the source
of the money that builds plants, buys and OPP
crates machinery, employs men, keeps the
wheels of industry going.
AS an advertisement of the Northern States
Power Company recently said: 1.-THE oppor-
tunity to earn a return on investment is bet
ter today than for years. Banks pay interest
on deposits regularly. Sound securities earn,
and pay, a regular, safe income"
The hoarder is cheating himself-of great
er Importance, he is cheating us all. He is
prolonging unemployment, profitless prices,
the accumulation of goods for which there is
no market because people have no money to
buy. He is, in the full sense of the word, an
~ti-social.
This is worth remembering: Idle dollars are
THE best friends of depression.
