Busses saved 3.8 cents per mile. Tire agencies estimated that 85 per cent of the trucks of three-ton capacity and greater are equipped with solid tires, the same percentage being equipped with pneumatic tires in the case of the lighter vehicles. According to the traffic census of the Louisiana Highway commission, the average daily, count of vehicles at the intersection of the Monroe-Rayville and Monroe-Bastrop roads, taken in November, 1925, was as Passenger automobiles, foreign licenses, 211; three to five-ton trucks loaded, 118; three to five-ton trucks empty, 103; trucks of less than three-ton capacity loaded, 116; trucks of less than three-ton capacity empty, 29; busses, 39.

Since the point of census taking was some little distance removed from Monroe, an allowance for suburban traffic, which would approximate one-third, is used for the point where the paving begins.

The folding seat, unlike the usual seat, of this type, has been designated to afford comfort to the occupant on long rides. When not in use, it folds completely out of the way under the cowl.

An unusual feature about its construction is found in the fact that it is fastened only at the front end and requires no supporting leg at the back, thereby providing extra space for the occupants of the offset seat. There is a roomy shopping box directly back of the driver and room for suitcases or large bundles in the Epacious English coach boot which is a distinctive feature of this car.

Cunningham, "an outstanding fact is the number of so-called 'new' things at such astounding new pticesi loreign licenses, loaded three to five-ton trucks, empty three to five-ton trucks, loaded trucks of less than three-ton capacity, empty trucks of less than three-ton capacity, busses (average density of 40 taken), total daily saving $501.95. In the above compilation, the average small truck was taken as the one ton capacity of 2,200 pounds net weight; for the heavier, the two-ton truck capacity of 5,957 pounds net weight. The records show that the 4.64 miles of concrete paving which is of the best approved type of thickened 'edge, known as the Bates Test Road, cost a total of $101,546.89, of which amount the sum of $45,631.25 federal aid was obtained. With Ouachita parish contributing half of the cost of construction, it can be seen that the total amount for the improvement actually derived from the state highway funds was very slight. With the saving to be effected by paved roads, not only for the automobile owner who uses them, but lso in maintenance costs to the state, the desirability of extending the paving to include all of the principally used highways in the state can be readily understood.

The availability of fed-tral aid funds for this work, which aid may be removed if the purposes of some eastern and northern states which have been regular Hudson Super-Six features for many years. I suppose the most important step forward this year has been a widespread attempt to gain greater motor smoothness. Yet Hudson has used a patented and exclusive design of crankshaft for 11 years which is inherently balanced in itself, and which also cares for the other forces in a motor which otherwise would set up vibration. "In other words, the Hudson design prevents vibration before it is ever set up. There is a vast difference between that and 'dampening' vibration, once it is under way.

Hudson owners have enjoyed this smoothness for many years. Each season has seen this effect1 improved with better "manufacturing methods in the industry. Our new cars are no exception to this general law of progress. "Hudson results are obtained by and founded on simplicity. A gasoline strained is built in; air is warmed and cleaned before it ever reaches is gained, makes the immediate pav- oiling system keeps down oil-dilution.

These effects are all obtained as a matter of course, without the use of added accessories. They always have' been fundamental features of Hudson Super-Six design." ing of those highways where the traf That, told quickly, gives you the news of the great new Chandler models for 1927 the most appealing line of six-cylinder motor cars the industry has yet produced.
