Jor. Jeff, and Hemlock Pershing's Son Now ' A ft m motor Mechanic in A Garage in France TArtlS (AT') Oeuernl Persh ing's son Warren may be In train ing to follow tho footsteps of his illustrious father, hut ho has shown a fancy for ureasy overalls, the steering- wheel of a, motor car and the repair bench in the garage. One of tho conditions upon which the Kf-iH'ral penullled Wur ren to prolong his vacation period in I'ui'is was that he work. He ob tained a job In a Karaite aad the motor repair bench at which he labore d for six weeks is open to him should ho return for unother spell during lils Switzerland school days. From that It is assumed that Warren was worth his salt as a me chanic. Ui-cause he wasOcncral Persh Iiir's son brought him no favors. The. first day lie got a mild "bawl ing out" from tho foreman, who. seeing the boy looking at a motor, woke him up wilh "Well, you're not-hero to look, but to work." Warren' was fur from work-shy, however, and the lU-yenr-old lad who- uri'iyed at 8:.1U each morning wns unrecognizably- covered with dirt' and grease less than two hours later . . . . : . . When it became known that Gen eral -Persing's son was working In a. -motor, shop, tho premises wero soon besieged by reporters and cameramen. It was impossible to get him to pose for his picture and most of the cameramen had to be pontcnted with pictures of War ren's back or his legs sticking out from beneath a car. Tho worst onslaught crfme from tho women special writers. The repair pit was Warren's refuge. "Won't you come out and talk to me?" many of them coaxed. "I'm sorry. Miss, really, but my boss pays me to work and I'm here to work.".' Of all tasks at tho shop War ren enjoyed none so much as get ting the cars Into tho garage at 5:30 each evening. One otter-another he would proudly mount and drivo Into their parking places small cars, big ones and lorries. Warren's boss promised to get him a real French driving license as a souvenir of his experience in a Paris garago. TRUE ECONOMY PRACTICED XVAit4 KXOVG1I ITo "Now I want to show you :how to change gears." She "Oh, Jack, let's not change ' them they are just right us they are." . ' "Followlnff every reduction In Hudson una Efwex prices, w re peatedly hear tho question, 4How does Hudson do ll't" said- K. 7 T.eUbetler, distributor of Hudson, and Kssex curs for 1a Clrande, lit commenting on the recent Hudson lKsejt price reductions. This ueKiton," continued Mr. I-e'dbetter, "is of considerable In terest to both tho buying public and competitive motor car mer chant s because, theso reduction come at limes when there Is the lea-st rea-son to expect them. Tbe presumption in motor circles it that tho reduction ur made to make Hndson-Ktise.x cars available to a still wider Held of buyer "The fuel of the matter l that these reductions are the ' result, ratlier than tho caimo," of a con- sliuitly increasing volume of huM lies. ,-.-. ..... , , t "Buyers are asking what thore la about Hudson-Kssox manufactur- ing -and Belling methods- which makes the.se cuts possible what method or. stunt can bo held re sponsible. The -answers to these questions are mast logical. Throughout Hudson's manufac turing and selling organization thero is tho highest degree of co operation. At the factory the ut most care U taken to eliminate waste in time and mat ex la Is and to utilize only the best obtainable ma terial and workmanship. "Then... too, Hudson-Kssox has basic advantages in being the larg est manufacturer of six-cylinder cars in the World and also the world's greatest specialist la en closed care. 95 per cont of Its vol ume being In this type of business. This assures the buyer the benefit of -the skill of highly specialized workmen and the economy's pos sible where production la concen trated on , single design. "When this high degree of fipe cialization Is added to great volume you can accomplish extraordinary results and Hudson hns done that. . "This Is true ecenomy of the kind which benefits the buyer, and it is the policy of Hudson-Kssex to pass along to the public' these benefits in the form of lower first cost whenever the volume of its constantly increasing business war rants u price reduction.' RACING ENGINES FORECAST TREND OP FUTURE AUTO Adaptation and .perfection of cooling and lubricating systems used thus, far only In tho finest types of racing1 enjfinea will bo one of tho urgent requirements, of the motor car of the future which Walter 1. Chrysler, president of the Chrysler corporation, forecasts will bo capublo of developing 100 horsepower and speeds tip to 90 mile an liotin according1 to loo l-Yenoh, local-dealer. A large measure, of the success of the motor car racers who have astounded the world by their tre mendous speeds during tho past summer, hut been made possible by development of cooling and lubricating systems which permit-. ted motors to operate efficiently at the excessive speeds demanded. Mr, tihrysler, in a recent conver sation, asserted that theso results would undoubtedly be the basis of even greater and finer development Of cooling; and oiling systems, for on gin os in everyday use, inasmuch ua the life of a motor depended ho vitally on the proper functioning of these two- units1.

(Special) The first move by on automobile manu facturer to est ah 1 knli complcto standardization of methods cm ployed in repair service haa been made by the Ford Motor company in a text entitled "Ford service" which Is for distribution to author ized Ford dealers and service sta tions. The book, which Includes about 300 pages is the culmination of several years of research, by Ford engineers. It covers In min ute detail, with numerous Illustra tions, every operation In assemb ling and repairing Ford cars. Automobile engineers all over the country have Ions urged that a system of repair methods, stand ardised by the manufacturer, be worked out in the interest of car owners. Practically no two roe. chunicrt. follow tho- same, method even on the same operation, they assert. Efficiency may also vary, H is pointed out, and it is an as surance of the highest type of service If in every shop the mcth ods conducive to highest efficiency are pmnloved.
