Rapid Rise Reported for Past
Several Months, 1000
Per Day
"With a production of 1,000
.Hudson and Eessex cars a day.
tbe Hudson Motor Car company
has advanced to a position of un
disputed ; leadership among all
six cylinder car manufacturers.
- according to Fred M. Powell, Hud
son-Essex dealer.
; "For a period . of several
months, be said, "Hudson-Essex
ha -gained rapidly, and Is at the
present time making several hun
dred, more six cylinder cars than
anyone- else in the business, This
leadership is all the more strik
ing because : the Hudson-Essex
business is concentrated 90 per
cent on 1 the two coaches, and
theer are; only six. models in the
-whole Hudson-Essex line. as
against , some twenty-odd in the
lines, made by other volume six
builders.! ' : r
'.'There is one - open and one
closed Essex type of car, and one
Hudson open car, the coach,. and
two sedans, one in the five and
the other : in the seven-passenger
size, v It is this specialization that
has enabled Hudson-Essex to offer
its coaches at actually lower than
the open .cart the only such case
in the Industry,
The J present,' production of
Hudson-Essex cars, while at this
unusually : high figure, yet falls
short of the current' demand. In
this city and elsewhere In the
United States there is a consis
tent and most active demand. The
present capacity production has
been reached in - the effort - to
make possible the. prompt delivery
of cars to buyers when they fant
; them,, i r.. ' V I -
"The i leadership Is ordinarily
considered to be due to the coach,
i but i a closer ustudy would bring
out that it is rather the combina
tion of Hudson-Essex chassis
principles with the coach idea.
The -super-six : principle, i which
made .the Hudson popular for 10
years. Is npw proving no less , a
source of satisfaction to Essex six
owners. The smoothness, reliabil
ity and quick pick-up which re
sult from tbi3 principle are Indeed
attractive features in a car selling
at the Essex six price. ,
1 "While the present Hudson-Essex
business :is at this unmatched
level, there, is no thought of
stand-fctH'. Hudson-Essex is still
; a rapidly expanding business, and
the popularity of the Hudson-Essex
cars is resulting In an addition
to factory facilities which will
make possible iL, still ; larger
volume." ; i

Maud Adams, 1900-Betty Bronson, 1925-Stars of Peter Pan
Time brings many changes, and
hfw jigreat these are - within the
short, span of a quarter of a cen
tury ia shown by two large but
unrelated industries the auto
mobile and the theater. In 1900
Maude Adams was acclaimed the
brightest star on the speaking
Btage tnrough her wonderful pre
sentation of Barrie's "Peter Pan."
This year one of the hits of silent
drama, is being made by Betty
Bronson in the -same role in the
Paramount motion picture pro
duction. When Miss Adams made
her successes she drove one of the
one-cylinder, ' curved dash Olds
mobiles. Miss Bronson also favors
the Oldsiriobile. as the above il
lustration shows. And there is as
much difference in the Oldsmobile
of the two epochs as there is be
tween the spoken drama and its
newer sister, the movies." -

Sea Food for 18,000,000
Automobiles

Editor," Journal of Industrial fe ) Engineering Chemistry
In bromine? ' ' ::
. In studying the automobile mo
tor, scientists have found that
miles per gallon could be increas
ed at least 20 percent if higher
compression motors could be used
and that such motors would he
a possibility If -knocking' could
be eliminated.' ; ; n -..
1 It was found that, the best anti
knock material was unsatisfactory
unless an organic, compound, of
bromine were present. The jpro
ducts of i combustion were not
properly discharged with thej ex
haust gases, but remained behind
to cause sticking valves and other
troubles. ? With even a small
amount of bromine present these
difficulties disappeared. j j
With some 17 million motors
to be fed, figures ; reach astron
omical proportions. j
While a little bromine has been
made from seaweed,- most jf it
has come from bitt&fp, the moth
er liquor from which salt is jcrys
talized, as a ! by-product frocBj the
potash mines of Germany, j and
j . ' The sea had been considered a
source, but it contained only!. 007
of one per cent and was ruled'out
as impossible. f j ;
I But now the impossible ; seems
about to come to pass. ' It has
been shown in the laboratory
that practically all of the ,007 of
one per cent can be obtained by
a process which first frees the
bromine and then precipitates it
! as an insoluble compound j which
caii be filtered off and when (dried
' is ready for use in the motor fuel.
How simple, now that it haa been
accompusnea: . i
: The next step Is to be on a scale
treating seven thousand gallons
of sea water per minute. The
work Is simplified if water free
from contamination, etc.,' can be
obtained; and so the novel scheme
of investing in. a ship factory In
stead of a land factory has been
evolved.
The S. S. Ethyl, 4300 tons. Is
the floating factory. Once she
was the Lake Harminis, of the
United States Shipping Board. The
Ethyl Gas Corporation has bought
the ship - and fitted her over,
equipped, it is thought, to make
100,000 pounds .of . brcmine a
month. ! ' . ' - ". " . .
The water needed will be secur
ed with a minimum of pumping
by placing the ! machinery below
the water line. Tfcare will be no
Industrial waste-water .problem,
no question of fumes or air con
tamination, and presumably the
Operating force will always be on
hand when the whistle blows.
By treating a cubic mile of
ater per year, the world's need
of bromine will be kept at equil
ibrium, even allowing for a prop
er expansion in the anti-knock
compound business. " "
Thus once i more science has
stepped in to help avoid a raw
Industry, backed . by science,
has turned to the ocean for Taw
material. A floating factory has
put to sea to draw bromine from
sea water so that the automobile
of the country may run with less
gas. .. - f . .
There Ja plenty of . wealth in sea
water that 'has been known lor
years- but the job has been to
get it out at a price which would

I Sea water isn't the same in the
amount of solid matter it contains
but the make-up of this solid
matter is strangely, constant.
" Bromine is one or the sub
stances usually reported as a
"trace" in an analysis of sea wa
ter, j ; Seventeen hundred - gallons
contain about a pound. In other
words, the average sea water car
ries .007 of a per cent of bromine,
and heretofore the recovery of so
small: an amount has been' con
sidered economically impossible.'
