First to Feel Urge
The automobile business was the
first major industry to feel the
effect of this buying urge. In 1884
the market for new cars, frozen for
nearly three years, began to thaw.
The lowest priced cars were the
first to feel the effects of America s
renewed purchasing power. America
needed new transportation, but it
was still cautious.
Transportation, at the lowest
price possible, was the demand. The
last year has seen the manufac-
turers of the low price cars roll a
vast number of units off their pro-
duction lines, but 1885 has witnessed
a marked buying up tendency as
well. The sales of the cars which
offered additional luxury, perform
anoe and safety have hit new highs
during the last II months.
Indications are that the swing

TRACTOR PILOT FACES
CHARGE OF SPEEDING
Montana Arrest Is Believed
First of Kind.

The arrest of a tractor driver on
speeding charge, believed to be
the first on record, is reported by
field representatives of the Ethyl
Gasoline Corporation. The vehicle,
said to be making As miles an hour,
was of a new high compression type,
powered with loaded gasoline and
equipped with rubber tires, head
lights, radio and. horn.
In the course of a demonstration
attended by farmers, the driver was
given a summons by Montana state
highway patrolmen on a road near
Billings. The tractor had been I'M

MOTOR AND CAR SPEED
PUT ON SAME DIAL
Chrysler Engineers Design Instru-
ment to Make Easy Driving.

BY an arrangement of the figures
on the large easy-to-read dial
Chrysler engineers have made the
Airf1ow speedometer do double duty
Like other speedometers, it tells the
driver at glance the speed il
miles per hour that his car is
travelling.
In addition, it tells him the num-
Der of revolutions the engine is
making each minute in driving the
car in conventional third gear, anc
in overdrive, at the speed indicated
Thus the speedometer becomes g
constant reminder of the savings ir
fuel, oil and engine wear that the
overdrive makes possible by reduc-
ing engine speed 80 per cent.
AS the needle advances it's three
arrow points direct the eye to three
sets of figures. The largest figures
nearest the rim, indicate miles pei
hour car speed, the next figures
engine revolutions per minute in
conventional drive, and the inner
figures engine revolutions per min
ute in oVerdrive.

to the cars in the style field will
continue. The great interest shown
in developments throughout the
country in the new body and ride
improvements, and the indisputable
fact that the average American is
again displaying a pride of owner
ship in his automobile, are definite
signs of this trend.
More than ever before in the
automobile business 1886 will be a
style year. AS the average prospect
is now taking excellent mechanical
performance for granted, the choice
lies more and more in the details
of comfort and beauty of the cars"

ANTI-PERCOLATOR ON
HUDSON CARBURETOR
Designed TO Prevent yapor Lock In
Float Bowl.

The Hudson car carries the new
Carter carburetor fitted with an anti
percolating device, designed to pre-
vent vapor lock in the float bowl.
There is spring loaded needle valve
in the float bowl which opens when
the throttle is closed. permitting va
por to escape.
With the downdraft type of car
buretor, particularly in hot climates
and at high attitudes, difficulty has
often been found in restarting the
car after a stop. Percolation or
oubblirg of the boiling fuel IN the
float bowl has been the cause. The
anti-percolating device removes the
cause Of this difficulty.

Draft Eliminated
Another of the five new engineer
ing features on the Hudsons Is the
automatic draft eliminator, by means
OF which all of the air coming into
the car, in connection with the
year-round ventilation system, is
controlled and screened.
The fifth improvement is duo

which a complete hydraulic braking

cy mechanical system which is ever

One-Piece Top
Structurally the body has been
improved by the use of a one-piece
steel top instead of the flange type
employed in last years cars. The
steel body is produced on presses
which are the last word in sheet
metal development.
Entirely new equipment was added
to produce the 1886 steel body. For
example, the die alone used for the
steel roof panel weighs 147,000
pounds.
"Radial safety control which so
materially improves steering and
stopping, derives it's advantages
from the fact that the front axle
in its rise and fall moves in a true
circular path
This is so because the centers
about which the front axle swings
are fixed by two drop-forged torque
rods. The introduction of these
torque rods removes from the
springs all duties of driving the
front end and of absorbing brake
torque.
Hudson chassis are longer, wider,
stronger and more rigid. With three
inches added to the wheelbase and
with the tread at the rear increased
from f1fty-siX to fifty-seven and
one-half inches, broader and long

The Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority
dinner Sunday night, for the

incest affairs to be given in the
Cities for some time: With the ex-
ception of Anne Foster and Val
Davis, all of the University girls
were at Myrtle Wormley's to be
feted and dined by AKA. Oh, yes,
Del Johnson wasn't there because
she didn't have a certain pair of
shoes to go with a certain dress
so she just nat'lly up and stayed
home. Don't know why Val and
Anne weren't among those present.
There were white table linen,
shining silverware, candlelight, and
smart conversation to make up a
su-wel evening. At dinner there
was a lively disagreement on the
question: "What is a soul?" The
two beauties of the crowd, blonde,
vivacious Helene Hilyer, and lovely
dark-haired Ruth Baltimore just
couldn't see eye-to-eye on what
soul was, but they both had some
dawggone interesting ideas. What
a contrast these two made sitting
across the table from each other!
S'help me, there was Helene, prac-
tically bouncing up and down In
her enthusiasm, and Ruth, very
serene and unruffled, and both of
'em just too easy on the eyes. My,

Theresa Banks
Becomes Bride
OF Arthur Herring
BEAUTIFUL CEREMONY AT
HOME

AWHILE
Before an improvised altar
banked with cybotium ferns, palms,
and tall vases of yellow pompoms
and daisies, Miss Theresa Arlee
Banks, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
John L. Banks, ST., of Dyersburg,
Tennessee, became the bride of
Mr.. Arthur Herring, Jr., son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Herring, ST.,
of Kansas City, Missouri, in the
home of her aunt, Mrs. Anna
Blair of I'll st. Anthony Ave.
The vows were exchanged in the
presence of relatives and intimate
friends at 7:3O P. NJ, Saturday,
October 10, with Rev. L. w. Har-
ris, pastor of Pilgrim Baptist
Church, of which the bride is a
faithful member, reading the serv-
ice.
AS Miss Dorothea Harris played
the bridal music from "Lohengrin, -
Miss Ruth Oden, the maid of honor,
and the bride on the arm of her
brother, Mr.. John L. Banks, Jr.,
who also gave her in marriage, de-
scended the stairs. AS she ap-
preached the altar, she was met
by the bridegroom and his best
man, Mr.. Rufus Dodd, uncle of the
bridegroom.
Miss Banks was gowned in bridal
ivory velvet, form-fitting, with full
skirt, long sleeves, and a slight
train. An elbow-length veil of tulle
in halo style and white crepe slip
pers completed the costume. She
carried a sheaf of Gala lilies and
wore a beautiful rhinestone brace
let, the gift of the groom.
Miss Oden's gown was of light
blue MORE, form-ftting and floor
length, with which she wore blue
crepe slippers and a close-ftting
blue turban with a short tulle
veil. She carried an arm bouquet
of tea roses tied with tulle.
Preceding the ceremony, Miss
Annice Bagnall sang "I Love You
Truly" accompanied by Miss Dor
othea Harris, and during the re-
ception, Miss Beneta Edwards and
Mr.. Eugene Reed rendered several
beautiful selections.
The brides table in the dining
room was decorated with a lace
cloth. A three-tier wedding cake
conferred the table, at either side
of which were lighted tapers, for
the reception from 8 to $50 P. NJ,
at which a large number of friends
of the young couple called to
shower them with well-wishes. Nu-
merous beautiful and costly gifts
were displayed in an upstairs
room.
