FORD

Presented in two versions. differ
ing in appearance. equipment, power
and price, the 1888 Ford line of pas
senger cars is available on the same V-8
chassis. The standard Ford V-8 is Of
fered in three body styles. with choice
of either the 60-horsepower or the 85-
horsepower engine. The de luxe Ford
V-8 is offered in eight body models
and is available only with the 85-
horsepower engine. The cars in the
standard group with the engine Of
lower output offer the advantages of
low first cost and maximum economy
in the Ford line. Added luxury, style
and performance are offered in the de
luxe series.
The cars are easily distinguished
from each other. The frontal appear
ance of the standard series, for in
stance, reveals series of evenly
spaced horizontal louvres extending
from the bottom of the grille to the
nameplate, just below the radiator or
nament. These louvres are longer as
they near the top, five of tbs highest
sweeping back along the hood sides.
On the de luxe series the louvres are
interrupted in their sweep back along
the hood sides by section which car
ries the familiar V-8 Ford trade mark.

ard and custom bodies in the six
passenger sedan, the trunk model Sc
dan and the three-passenger coupe OF
the six series. Only custom models are
provided with the eight.
Mechanical highlights of the Hupps
for 1888 include the "anti-distortion
head" process of honing the cylinder
heads. the latest type of Carter car
buretor especially adapted to Hupp,
ventilated crankcases ami double-ac-
tion hydraulic brakes. Standard on
the eights and optional on the SKIES
is the Hupp super-drive. With this
type Of overdrive at cruising speeds
the transmission automatically reduces
engine speed about 80 per cent.
In designing the new Hupp motors
engineers have stressed accessibility.
A one-piece alligator type hood covers
the engine. 1t is counter balanced for
easy elevating. Hupps carry an all
steel body, insulated to deaden all road
noises. Speed lines give the car a
slender appearance, in spite of the
roominess of the interiors. Higher and
wider vee-type windshield provides
greatly improved vision and reduces
reflection. A point stressed is i'm
provement in rear seat vision.

OLDSMOBILE

Heavier looking, extremely clean in
design and distinguished by a belt
which becomes an overhang along the
hood sides to serve as invisible hood
louvres, the Oldsmobile six and eight
for 1888 marks departure in body
design without sacrifice Of Oldsmo-
bile identity. The cars are distin-
guished by difference in the detail
of the newly designed radiator grilles.
For rough identification the six will
be known for its heavy and widely
spaced horizontal die-cast louvres,
while the eight has greater number
of more closely spaced louvres.
Oldsmobile, Americas oldest manu-
facturer of cars, is with this model in
its forty-first series. Outstanding
mechanical feature of the two cars is
the safety transmission, first intro
duced on the eight for 1887. 1t is
automatic and not merely method
for remote control for the shifting. A
range lever on the steering column
and special linkage connected with the
accelerator pedal provides the driver
control of this new four-Speed unit.
Among the list of advantages gained
by using this automatic gear-set. which
now is optional at extra cost, on both
the six and the eight, are IL per cent
faster acceleration, 10 per cent in
crease in fuel mileage, 70 per cent
increased oil economy. marked reduc-
ton in engine speed and minimum
clutch operation.
Safety is everywhere stressed in the
new Oldsmobile. The instrument panel
is now free of projecting knobs. A
pin-point of light reminds the driver
that he is using the driving beams.
With the automatic transmission the
driver can go back to third instantly
at any speed below SIS miles per hour.
He can also switch from the second
to the first forward position to en-
ploy the engines compression for bet
ter control on downgrades.
Other interesting features Of the
117-inch six and the 124-inch eight
include headlamps which, while ap-
pearing as part of the tenders,
actually are demountable. The bat
terry is not only under the hood, but
built with cells end to END Seven
new Fisher bodies grace the 95-horse-
power six and the ll0 eight.

DODGE

With a record of AZ Improvements
in appearance. comfort and perform
ance. the 1888 Dodge is offered in 10
body models. In addition to three
coupes and SedanS, as well as touring
sedans in two and four door closed
type, there is converitable sedan.
Two additional models, sedan and
limousine, each accommodating eight
persons, are mounted on a wheelbaSe
of 1872 inches. The head-on appear
ance of the cars has been changed
with the new radiator shell and grille.
Improvements range from new
floating power engine to so per cent
reduction in pressure required to op-
crate the self-Starter.
Dodge is using the hypoid rear axle
to eliminate the propeller shaft tunnel
and to make possible level floor in
the rear compartment. Close atten-
ton has been paid to weight distribu-
ton and to synchronized action of the
long, semi-elliptic springs OF Amola
steel The anti-Sway eliminator now
operates without being linked to the
shock absorbers.
The 87-horsepower engine of ga
inch bore and 4ss-inch stroke carries
full length water jackets, pressure
fabrication, steel valve inserts and
aluminium pistons. Automatic choke
and spark advance are retained.
There is, in addition. a rubber -cuSh-
ioned impulse neutralizer. An ex-
haust silencer is used in the new
Dodge, and the engine mounting is by
means of a new spool-shaped device.
There are numerous Improvements in
the clutch for 1888. while the di-
ameter of the air-cooled brake drums
has been increased from 10 to II
inches.
Dodge is using a pistol-grip-shaped
lever for the parking brake. 1t is
located in the center of the instru-
ment panel Every attention has been
paid to eliminating dangerous OBJ
structions inside the car. Bodies are
safer and quieter through use of a
"luster lounge" interior.

GRAHAM

Stepping into an entirely new style
motif, Graham is presented in three
series of cars mounted on a Wheel
base of 100 inches and offered in
four door sedan and coupe models
only. The special carries a 90-horse-
power engine, while the supercharger
features en- engine of 116-horsepower.
The custom supercharger has the
same general specifications of the
latter, but is equipped with numerous
items that are optional in the other
models
The styling of the new Graham
is best described as forward leaning
of the radiator and the fender tops.

rest. Graham designers believe that
their 1888 creation will set the pace
for cars of the immediate future
There are no distractions as the eye

places. This is heightened by the
fact that the headlamps ara flush
with the leading edge Of the tenders.
Optional on all of the Grahams is
the new "vacuumatic" gear shift.
Situated on the instrument panel.
the miniature shift lever is handled
in the usual way without the driver
being required to learn anything new.
but the actual shifting is amplified
by vacuum power, so that there is
almost no effort required in shifting
A safety feature is the fact that the
shift can be made even if the engine
is not running, so that the driver
can place the car in gear when park
ing on an incline. Graham'S new
frame is narrow in front, wide in
the rear and is hung nearer the
ground for extremely low center Of
gravity. An extra cross-brace further
strengthens the X-member.
A change in corburetion, involving
use of triple Ventura. provides posi-
tive suction to eliminate lag" thus
making the supercharger even more
efficient.

Also the center of the louvres are in
terrupted by Wee section extending
down from the top of the hood. Head
lights of both cars are set into the
tenders, which on the de luxe series
are massive. The appearance of the
hoods is longer and more sweeping.
More room will be found in the
closed sedans, and more luggage space
is provided. Even in the three models
of the standard series the interiors
are more attractively upholstered and
appointed than ever before in Ford
history.

PACKARD

Redesigning Of the Junior and
detailed improvements in the Senior"
series have resulted in development
of the new Packard ride" and
host Of conveniences that go to place
the four lines of cars in position to
meet almost any motorists require
ments. The six now develops 100
horsepower and has a wheelbase Of
122 inches. The eight takes the
place of the former "l20," has the
original horsepower, but is now 127
inches in wheelbase, except the 148-
inch seven-passenger sedan and sedan
limousine. The super-eight shows
1875 horsepower, while the IL tops
the line with IT'S. .Wheelbases for
these Senior" cars are 1875, 134ss
and 1895 inches.
Major changes in the six and eight
have all-steel bodies with one-piece
steel tops. Windshields and rear
windows are wee type. Hoods are
much longer. A marked change in
rear springs results in practically
eliminating static friction, due to use
of cuplike depressions containing but
tons which are rubber and oil i'm
pregnated. Metal-to-metal surfaces
in the shaekles also are avoided.
These cars now use lateral stabilizer,
as well as a roll control bar. Mount
ing of the two-way shock absorbers
supplements the resistance of the new
springs against braking and starting
torque reaction.
Engines of all four cars are equipped
with tin-plated autothermic pistons
OF aluminium alloy. A special COM
preston ring is used in the top po-
sition on the senior Packards, and
the II has oil operated automatic
valve adjustments. Packard's Safe-T-
Flex independent front wheel sus-
pension is continued on all the cars.
Most unusual feature is novel ar
rangement for carrying away heated
air from the engine compartment
through large ducts through the bot
toms of the fender skirts. Packard
this year revives the standard
equipped radiator shutter.

HUDSON and
HUDSON
TERRAPLANE

Starting with the Hudson Terraplane
on wheelbase of lit inches, and pro-
crossing to the six on 122-inch
wheelbase, the Hudson line for 1888
is topped by an eight offered on both
the 129 and the 122 inch Wheel
bases. All three lines feature the wid-
est bodies Hudson has ever built, the
55-inch-wide front compartment being
continued with 2 inches more interior
body length for rear-passenger leg
dimensions. There is an entirely new
front grille with chromium belt
sweeping back along both sides of the
entire car.
Hudson again offers an automatic
shift transmission which is Selective.
There are many new features to this
gear box, including automatic return
to neutral should abutment of gears
ever develop when using the electric
hand to go into low or reverse. A bal
anced vacuum cylinder improves the
automatic clutch action during the
Selective automatic shift.
The de luxe Hudson Terraplane Of
fers increased efficiency and greater
fuel economy through use of single
throat manual choke carburetor, me-
tering being controlled automatically
through manifold vacuum. All the
other HudsonS use dual-throat car
buretors with new arrangement of the
automatic choke to render stalling
impossible. The eight cylinder en-
gines develop l22-horsepower at 4,200
rpm, while the six engine develops
10l horsepower at 1000 rpm, or 107-
horsepower with the 7-to-1 super
power dome head. Hudson Terraplane
develops 96-horsepower with the sim
gle carburetion. 101 with the 625-to-1
compression ratio.

to operate by reason OF a vacuum
booster. Automatic free-center hy-
draulic shock absorbers with thermo-
static control and side-sway elimina-
tors combine with the long springs
to give the maximum in riding COM
fort.
In the Zephyr the engine and
transmission have been moved for
ward to clear the driving compart-
rnent, the gearbox being shifted on
its right side instead of the top.
Continued is the center panel of the
instrument board which runs to the
floor and which houses the heater
and radio speaker Hypoid rear end
gearing has been adopted. This re-
duces the tunnel in the rear COM
partment. The battery is located
under the hood.

HUPMOBILE

Swinging into 1888 with a reorgan-
lied sponsor, Hupmobile appears in
two completely new lines. representing
modernity in streamlining and, in
ternally, the latest in approved design.
Each of the two chassis models, the
six and the eight. are presented with
choice of three body styles. The six
is powered by l0lhorsepower en-
CINE and is mounted on a wheel
base of 122 inches. The eight is built
on wheelbaSe of l25 inches and car
ries a l20-horsepower eight-in-line
engine. Both motors are of the L-head
type, with emphasis on both perform
ance and economy. There are stand

NASH AND
NASH LAFAYETTE

There are 83 special features, six of
them outstanding, in the three series
of new Nash cars for 1888. Lowest
priced of the line is the Nash La
fayette, built on 117-inch Wheel
base, and offered in both de luxe and
master styles. There are five models
in the former, four in the latter.
Then comes the Nash Ambassador six
line. which is available in five models,
each on a wheelbaSe OF 121 inches.
Topping the line is the Nash Ambas-
sador eight, available in five body
models and built in the 125-inch
wheelbase A convertible coupe is
available in all but the Lafayette mas
ter line.
Unusual is the complete air-condi-
toned system for winter driving, an
arrangement whereby those inside the
car are assured clean air at 10 de-
grees in the coldest weather. This
development is also said to be well
come when driving in a duststorm.
Next are the "super-thrift" engines
which incorporate many of the fea-
lures of the monitor sealed" Nash
principle of design. All OF the new
Nashs have what its sponsors call
sea legs" an arrangement of the
shock absorbers whereby the cars not
only have better riding qualities but
have increased road stability. Nash
also presents vacuum operated gear
shift, a small lever extending from the
instrument panel, giving the driver a
convenient method of selecting gear
combination while engine vacuum
eases the actual work of shifting. Spe-
cial soundproofing is said to give a
remarkably quiet ride.
The air conditioning system consists
of filter, motor-driven fan and a
hot-water heating element, the whole
being mounted under the cowl and
copnecfed with the cOwI vpnfilatOr nv

brakes that are 10 per cent larger
than on the previous model, De Soto
swings into 1888 trim with newly
styled bodies that blend in color with
touches of hue on the bumpers, trunk
lid and other places. The new De
Soto has a wheelbaSe of 119 inches
and shows an overall length of 1879

completely out of sight. Spinning the
air by its own pressure in the stack
removes the greater part of the mois-

formance of the Nash motor this year
is due largely to the "isothermal" fuel
intake system.

Father Hubbard Tells Experience
 While in Arctic

After a months cruise within the Arctic Circle on the Cutter Northland, in command of Cap tain Frederick A. Zeusler, the Father Hubbard party returned to Nome where they are com pleting preparations for the years stay on King Island in the interest of ethnological study.
 Interrogated about the current international interest centering around Point Barrow, the Glacier Priest in an exclusive interview to the Nome Nugget and Asso- ciated Press stated; "In spite of reports of radio signals presum- ably enanating from the lost Russian trans-Polar fliers, it is the opinion of most of the really experienced people in the Arctic that there is very little probabil- ity of any of the men being found alive.
 The Arctic Ocean does not freeze like Central Park, New York, but is chaos of broken turreted pressure ridges and raft ed ice cakes that makes a forced landing in storm certain to be tragedy.
 What puzzles me most is the strange policy and lack of sound common sense in the rescue plans thus far employed. The first ser- ious mistake was making Barrow the base for rescue work. Much gasoline is needed for plane re- connoitering and Barrow had none to spare, as up to the time of the airplane tragedy and the few weeks following, no vessel of deep draught had been able to get through.
 Even the much publicized Rus sian ice-breaker Krassin found that the ice around North Amer

 LONDON, Aug. 30-Great Bri- tain alarmed by the threat to her enormous interests in Shanghai, joined the United States in for nal appeal for an immediate end to the Sino Japanese warfare.
 The appeal announced in a com munique after a day-long em- ergency consultation among Pri- me Minister Neville Chamberlain and cabinet leaders, said; The British governmnt shares the anieties of the United States gov ernment regarding the damage to the Far East in general from the present fighting and welcomes the appeal made by the United States Secretary of State for both sides to cease their hostilities."
 There is no truth to the report that the British govrnment pro- poses to persist in it's efforts to secure the exclusion of Shanghai from the area of hostilities.
 Concerned with the Spanish war as well, the Ministers decid- ed according to the communique that the government would maintain continuously for the present, a force of at least one fotilla of destroyers and two heavier ships in the Western bas- in of the Mediterranean for the protection of British shipping" This would amount to eleven ships in all in addition to other British war ships in passage thru the Mediterranean.
