Ing to(J. A. C. Waters, run mana

: "Declutching and so - called
'trick driving' were . ruled against

."but this year the usual slight va

Naturally the announcement of
this change in the famous economy
test is making a bit with the mo
toring public. 'And the dealers
have welcomed it with even ereai
er enthusiasm, as it at last gives
them an opportunity . to silence
scores of skeptical Thomases, that
jnave sometimes aounted the re-
"markable records 'made heretofore.
Every car's performance this year
will be authentic. The rigidity of
the rules requires it." ;
Changing back f ron the.Mojave
route, followed - in 1924. ttf the
ridge, is also 'looked upon favor
ably. The two?, principal reasons
In favor of this move, as Waters
explains, are the time element and
the fact that the ridge is the high
way trail followed: by most. motor
ists who visit the Yosemite from
south of the Tehachapi. The Mo-
jave road, while having fewer
grades, added some 40 miles to the
customary 360 mile drive to Camp
Curry, and thus 'necessitated '; too
close a schedule, to reach the first
day's control at Fresno.

"Don't step on the gas too free

dealer, . to touring motorists this
summer.! - Recent news from the

forts of police and sheriff depart
ments to curb speedtng'and reck

: The factory reports a perfect
avalanche of "orders from police
and sheriff departments for their
new 1925 Police model. i
" Last week the factory received
an order for a fleet of 64 new
machines for the Los Angeles City
police, which will be entirely re
mounted on these new models.
Maine state police have bought 54;

HUDSOfi SETS HEC0HU
When this car arrives, Hudson
will have achieved the record of
reaching ; the .100,000 mark first
Among all six cylinder manufac
turers. According to Hudson of
ficials, this will be the second con
secutive year in which Hudson-
Essex has led the six cylinder
fie!d in reaching the six-figure
mark in production.
lu 1924, it is said, the 100,000th
jrr came in mid-summer, while
his year's entry is strictly a
spring-season achievement.
Tbis accomplishment," declares
Fred M. Powell, Hudson-Essex
distributor, "serves again to
identify Hudson-Essex as the
.world's leading six-cylinder manu
facturer. , The simply astounding
and still mounting success of the
Hudson and Essex coaches has
brought Hudson-Essex to the
front. Yet I feel that we have
only scratched the surface of the
market for these useful, econom
ical and attractive cars. The de
mand is growing every day.
."The coaches are proof that the
public wants utility and value in
motor tars. Novelties both in
mechanism and: in body fittings
have a . limited appeal, but the
broad usefulness and All-around
value of the coaches fills the needs
of the thousands and tens of thou
sands of average motorists.
"As a consequence of the Hud
son, price cut certainly one or
the biggest automobile surprise of
the year the rush of buyers tor
Hudson and Essex cars nas grown.
into a regular stampede for cars.
Our problem is to get enough cars
to assure prompt deliveries.
"When continuous operation at
capacity made it possible, Hudson,
passed along the benefit to the
public,' and expects to benefit it
self by ever-increasing business.
"This price cut is but one step
in a general and established policy
of Hudson to pass along to motor
car buyers reduction in costs and
general economies effected at the
factory. ,
"It is Hudson policy to give
li.bU vmiiti uiid low prices; 10 tit'i
out aggressively and Jo maintain
Its leadership by a vigorous polioy-f
of giving the utmost for the small
est amount of money." "
