29 KIDDIES AT BABY
TWENTY-NINE ORPHANS FROM BABY HOME ARE TREATED TO AUTOMOBILE RIDE BY DULMAGE-
Hudson Vision Becomes Reality
THE Hudson has reached a long-sought goal
in the Super-Six. Its discovery is the culmi
nation of years of study and of effort. It is
surpassing even the wildest dream of its inven
tors. Under the severest tests ever given a
motor-car it is daily proving its supremacy.
Not a fault has developed in design or in con
struction. Not one defect can be found. Not
one of the doubts of skeptics has the slightest
excuse for existence. The Super-Six, in every
detail, is all and more than we have claimed.

BT CHESTER A. JIOORES.
Twenty-nine little kiddles, ranging
11 the way from 18 months to 3 years
of age, who find shelter and food un
der the roof of the Waverly Baby
Home at East Thirty-seventh and Ells
worth treets. had three spasms of
bawling last Tuesday afternoon.
But betwixt and between the first
and last stream of tears came gurgles
and smiles and the many other mani
festations by which the Infant ex
presses joy and comfort.
It all happened because the officials
of the Dulraage-Manley Auto Company
decided It would be a nice thing to give
the little orphans at the home an aft
ernoon spin In the sunshine. Under
the leadership of Roy S. Wilson, sales
manager of the company, and Lawrence
Therkelsen, who recently demonstrated
his sympathy for orphans by adopting
a little tot left on his doorstep in Irv
Jngton, a big National "12" and four
Hupmobile automobiles were driven out
to the W'averly Home early Tuesday
afternoon and placed at the disposal of
the youngsters.
Twenty-Nine Taken for Ride.
Prom the entire home population of
6 children 29 were picked for the trip
And a nurse was placed In each car to
take care of the babies on their trip
and Bee that they didn't fall overboard.
Many of the little children had never
before seen an automobile, much less
ridden In one, and at first several of
them cried right out loud thinking per
haps that the big black objects were
animals of some bad sort.
But as the National and the Hupps
sailed quietly along Portland's boule
vards, tears were displaced by smiles
and fear by delight.
Later, however, when it came time
for the Infant joyriders to pose for an
Oresonian staff photographer on the
south side of the Central Library, tears
and yelps of discord sprang forth
again. Perhaps the kiddies didn't like
the hot sun, or it might have been that
they were afraid of the camera man,
but the chances are that they were
protesting because their big gocarts
had been brought to a halt.
This, scene and another one In front
of The Oregonian building attracted
large crowds along; the curbs and many
an adult chuckled aloud at the humor
ous spectacle of 2-year-old youngsters
clambering all over radiators, steering
wheels and cavorting in tonneaus as if
they were bees swarming In and out
of a hive.
Jap Boy Is Star Performer.
Before the little lads and lassies were
tjshered back to their Institutional
home they were treated to a long, long
ride through the principal streets of
Portland and out over the boulevards
on the western hills. Finally they
were dumped out again at the curb in
front of the home and then the third
bawling spasm was precipitated, not
because they were tired, but rather be-

WITH UL'USO.N STOCK CAR.
By driving a Hudson Super
Six stock chassis a total distance
of 1S19 miles within the course of
24 hours, Ralph Mulford estab
lished a new long-distance record
on the Sheepshead Bay track In
New York last week. The former
24-hour long-distance record was
held by S. h Edge, who covered
1581 miles In England nearly a
decade ago.
To accomplish last week's feat
Mr. Mulford had to average a
speed of over 75 miles an hour
for the full time and distance.
He-made the record without as
sistance of a relief driver, and
used the same car with which he
recently made the 102-mlle-an-hour
speed record on a Florida
beach. Both tests were sanc

Judges and timers present.

motoring the rest of the evening.
Perhaps the star performer of the
afternoon was a little Jap boy who took
a. particular liking to rJ. C Habe

sleep any longer or any . sounder that
night than 23 other little chaps after

OLDFIELD PLANS BIG COUP
Floneer Racer Expects to Win at
Indianapolis and Quit.
INDIANAPOLIS. May 6. Back In
1902 two men started to fame: Henry
Ford and Barney Oldfield. Ford was
trying to build a racing car. Barney
was with him trying to build a career
as a race driver. The answer is ob
vious.
Is Barney Olfield going to drive at
' the Sixth Annual International Sweep
stakes race. May SO? T. E. Myers, man
user, shook his head and answered
No."
But this was yesterday. Today he
can hear the applause of tens of thou
ennds of people when the veteran of
veterans appears upon the track, for
the indefatigable Barney is going to
drive. His Mechimcian. R. . Lash
bach, has arrived in Indianapolis un
announced, and has Barney's car, a
foreign built Delage, unloaded and at
the speedway track.
Those- who know Barney are be
wildered at such tactics. Tbere is a
srood deal of "Barnum" about Barney,
and for him to get his car on the
-rounds early without much advance
press agency, is not orthodox. It lend
credence to the suspicion that Barney
is tired of being kidded about "also
running" and is out at last to show
the crowd of younger drivers who
have usurped his place-' on the front
rage that the original automobile
driver of the United States has suf
ficient punch left to win the Indian
apolis International classic.
Dashbach says that this is Oldfield
last race, his last public appearance.
And that Oldfield proposes unequiv.
ocally to win and crown his racing
career with what is considered th
highest achievement ia automobil

HIGHWAY OPENED UP
Columbia Route Traversed to
Hood River.
FIRST 41 MILES PAVED
Strip Near County Line Xot in Con
dition for Travel After Con- '
tinned Ttain Party of II
Iortlanders Makes Trip.
For the first time since last Fall the
Columbia River Highway was opened
up last week for the full distance be
tween Portland and Hood River, and as
result a large number of motorists
took advantage of an opportunity
which they have been awaiting for. a
long time. The first cars christened
the trip on Wednesday, and their driv
ers reported that the entire road was
in good condition except for a few
soft places at the upper end.
The first 41 miles out or .fortiana
are paved, and then comes the tempo
rary strip of several miles leading to
the Hood River County line, which has
been closed since last Fall. The resi
dents of Hood River did a good deal of
work on that county's portion of the
highway last week. There is no pave
ment on the highway in Hood River
County, and in the event of continued
rain the newest portions are certain
to be soft, perhaps even Impassable
temporarily.
Hood River is 70 miles from Portland
via the highway, and The Dalles 93.4
miles. There is a good road connect
ing these two cities and radiating from
both places.
A party of 11 Portlanders who re
turned last week from a round trip to
Seattle In two Buick cars, owned by
Jack. Helser and W. A. Blggers. and
Chalmers, owned by Al Clark, re
port that the road was in splendid con
dition except for a few miles of rough
sledding near Martin's Bluff. Among
the guests on the trip were W. F.
Prier, president of the Oregon Brass
Works, Thomas McCusker, A. G. Labbe,
Jack Card, W. H. Harris and Charles
Mack, all of whom went to Seattle to
attend the convention of the United
Metal Trades. - v
It took the party 13 hours to make
the 199 miles of the up trip and the
same length of time to return. Bearing
especially on this trip the Seattle Auto
mobile Club- has issued the following
bulletin.
Seattle to Portland Road in good
condition to Olyinpia via Tacoma. From
Olympia to Chehalis best route via
Grand Mound. Follow Pacific Highway
signs out of Chehalis leading to Toledo.
Do not cross the bridge at Toledo but
go through town and take road on the
west side of the Cowlitz River to the
ferry operated by Lewis County free
from 7 A. M. to 6 P. M. Follow Pacific
Highway signs into Kelso. There is
a three-mile stretctt of new road south
of Kelso which is rough. Follow Pacific
Highway signs into Kalama. From
Kalama to Vancouver the road is fair
ly good. Leaving Kalama there is three
and one-half miles of good gravel road
to Martin's Bluff. Then five miles of
narrow and rough road leading into
Woodland. One mile of paved and
gravel road through the town of
Woodland. From Woodland to La Cen
ter there is five miles of good gravel
road. Recent slides have been planked
and protected with guard logs. One
mile out of La Center, when reaching
the top of the hill, take the right-hand
road for a quarter of a mile west, then
turn left and go two and one-quarter
miles south, then take first turn to
the left and go one mile east to the
Pacific Highway. Then turn right, hit
ting the seven and one-half mile
stretch of gravel and planked road
leading to pavement into Vancouver.
STOCRMA.V PICKS CHALMERS
Improved Car Wins Over Rancher
as Soon as lie Inspects It.
Eastern Oregon stockmen and ranch
ers are reputed to be quick on the trig
ger when need arises and quick to
make up their minds as to what they
want.
E. Lister, of Prlnevllle. Crook Coun
ty, who has driven a Chalmers for five
years, came down to Portland last
week to see if anybody had "come
across with a better car.
He made the rounds of "automobile
row," gave 'em all the once over, rode
in 'em, listened to automobile lore
translated into all languages, includ
ing the Scandinavian, but when T. S.
Rabb. one of H. L. Keats' salesmen,
showed him what Hugh Chalmers and
his engineers have been doing, he
threw up his hands and said: "You
win." In less time than it takes to
tell it he had a new Six-30 cut out
from the herd In the Keats corral and
safely branded with the Lister mona
ker. Mr. Lister shipped to The Dalles by
boat. From there he will drive his
new "mount" to his home in Prlne
vllle. He goes back lighter In pocket,
but lighter in .heart as well, for the
soft purr of that 3400 r. p. m. is sweet
music to his soul.

Captain L. P. Hosford manager of the

is quoted as saying.
Mr. Sinclair declares that there 1
really a scarcity of oil at this time
and that unless new fields are opened
within a year or so there may be an
oil famine. He estimates that the ave
rage decrease in the gasoline outpu
from all the fields In the United State
is close te 3.000,000,000 gallons yearly.
It is the decrease-in-production side
of the situation which Mr. Sinclair em
phasizes. But the increase in con
sumption phase is equally important
and cannot properly be dismissed by
mere statistics to the effect that there
are considerably more than 2,000,000

that they are consuming gasoline at the

The Smoothest-Running Motor in the World
7"
THE question asked us oftenest Is
this:
"Why do I want the 76 horse
power which the Super-Six delivers?"
Other motors seem powerful enough.
You don't care for reckless speed.
BUT CONSIDER THIS
The Super-Six is small and lifeht
same size as most Light Size's. We add
no cylinders, no size to get this 60
more power.
We have simply ended the vibration
which caused friction.
The power we save In this way
becomes reserve power. As a result,
the Super-Six cut-performs any other
stock car. The steepest
hills are mounted on high
gear. The car can creep,
and instantDy dash to
speed.
Every situation is met
without effort. No other
car you meet can matrh
the Super-Six performance.
IT IS NEVER TAXED
Then the Super-Six ia
never taxed. It is rarely
run at even half-load. An
engine run in that way
far outlasts an engine that
is strained.
All Other Cars
Outrivaled
1819 miles in one day,
at 75 19-24 miles per hour,
smashed all automobile
records from 1 to 24 hours.
At Sheepshead Bay, un
der A. A. A. supervision,
a 7-passenger Super-Six
stock car excelled all for
mer stock cars in these
tests.
100 miles in 80 miiu, 21.4
sec, averaging 74.67 miles
per hour, with driver and
passenger.
Standing start to 50
miles an hour in 16.2 sec.
Then this extra power this 80
comes through utter smoothness.
Motor wear is almost niL No other
stock car ever showed such endurance.
The Super-Six invention, probably,
doubles the motor's life.
A HUDSON PA 1 ENT
Rivals, of course, will seek to mini
mize the Super-Six importance. This is
a Hudson invention, controlled by
Hudson patents. Others cannot get it.
But take a ride In the Super-Six.
Watch its performance. Note the
luxury of motion. Learn what it
means to have 80 more efficiency.
Other cars the best of them will
seem crude after that.
Six new -style bodies,
ach a masterpiece, have
been built for this Super
Six. Their luxuries will
delight you.
Orders placed now can
be delivered in time for
the motoring season.
