SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 11926
23 Per Cent Rise Is Indicated
' by Report of Society;
; Cities Improve
NEW YORK, July 31. The
country rather than the city
should get the spotlight of atten
tion in accident prerentfon activ
ities, it is indicated in the coun
try-wide traffic survey Just com
pleted by the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce.
This was the first national sur
vey which was made segregating
the country districts from the
urban sections. It showed that
ruVal motor fatalities have in
creased 23 per cent In l2i. This
rie is much higher than the
general average for the country
asi a whole, which has been esti
mated at 10- per cent.
While the statistics for the
cities for the first five months of
19.26 show a very slight decrease
from last year there are no re
cords to show whether or not the
agricultural sections have en
joyed a similar degree of progress.
The cautlona of the 1925 record
are accordingly applicable, in the
opinion of motor authorities.
Complete records for 1525 were
received from 1434 counties,
which is 43 percent of the total.
These recorded 4 5 fix fatal mo
tor accidents in 1925 as compared
with 3 7 26 In 1924.
In only six states was there an
improvement over the year 1924
Arkansas. California. Colorado,
Minnesota, New Hampshire and
Pennsylvania.
There is a possibilty that 1926
will mark the turning of the tide
in motor accidents. The records
for the larger cities for the first
five months indicate a decrease
from last year. May, 19 26, how
ever, was higher than May 1925.
Cities in which no automobile
accident fatalities occurred in May
1926. also were announced by the
N. A. C. C. These are:

Believed to be heirs of the Whittemore gang, George Cohen,
I;ft, and Soloman Brofman are held in New Yo(kas the perpe
trators of robberies amounting almost to half a million dollars.

of Hudson space-saving in I he fac
tory. It may b noted in passing that
9 6 square feet of floor space per
car are required to make the Ks
aex bodies, as against several hun
dred feet per car under former
methods.
The steel sills, then, form tin
foundation of the body and unite
it eventually to the chassis so
firmly that they form one integ
ral unit. Th' first part mounted
on the silis is the back section,
with the lower panel and its win
dow accessible, the body is assem
bled, securely fastened together
and ready for the upholsterers.
The door is mounted on the
body with a "piano" type of hinge
similar to the hinge used to at
tach the lid of the piano to the
case. In the Essex body the hinge
is perhaps 20 inches long and ifs
pin is a rod of brass." making a
certainty of Hie attachment and
alignment of the door to the body.
This is a new idea in automotive
practice.
Practical demonstration of the
each of the doors and then driv
ing the car over several hundred
yards of rough road. The human
element was the only one to reg
ister any distortion. The doors
continued to fit perfectly and to
close with ease. Driving the car
up on a high curb, so that one
corner only was off the ground
did not interfere with the perfect
operation of the doors.
Part of the rigidity of the body
and its capacity to withstand
strains of all kinds is due to the
quality of steel used in its mak
ing. Sheets of the same weight
and same quality as those utilized
in making sedans that, cost sev
eral times as much as the Essex
coach are used in the latter. In
practice this proves to be econ
omy; there is practically no press
breakage. Scrap resulting from
making large parts is used in
making small parts, with a. final
wastage of less than i per cent,
which is sold for scrajp.

Small bnt important details of
exterior finish add' to tie car as
a car. For example, the gutter
that carries rata from tha roof is
oversize. There is ample space to
take care of the result of a cloud
burst. The windshield hingto fs
formed by rolling over the edge
o fthe stamping -which forms the
top of the windshield frame and
similarly rolling up t ie flange on
the windshield frame supports.
This does away With the possibil
ity of leaking at the joint and
does away with the possibility of
rattles, too.
Inside, the caf reflects good
taste and neatness. The uphols
tery material is high grade and
smoothly applied. Door handles
and locks are unified. Steering
wheel is solid walnut on a cast
aluminum spider. Windshield
wiper is on the dash, where it
forms a part of an attractive in
strument board arrangement.
Exterior finish is a lustrous
black enamel. Radiator shell in
nickeled and there is a bit of col
or in the double striping at the
belt line.
The Hudson organization prides
itself on the fact that throughout
the process of manufacture eco
nomies, with volume output as
their prime object, have been in
augurated. Twq examples will
serve. Plate glass for the wind
shields is progressively cut. The
plates pass sucesgively over series
of grinding wheels; expense of
operation is reduced to the mini
mum and there Is practically no.
waste from breakage. In the mat
ter of unloading a car of sheet
steel, four men were formerly
required to work for ejght hours;
now it takes two men half an
hour. This gives one nfan-hour, as
compared to the foriner f fgure of
thirty-two man-hours. By these
and similar economies, the pro
duct is brought to a low cost and
a low selling price.
In its installation for the manu
facture of Essex I bodies, and par
ticularly in the operation of the
installation, Hudson Motor Car
company has set a high mark in
industrial activity. Many of the
processes nvolved are orgnal and
unque.
Their merit is evidenced in the
fact that from the time of instal
lation's foundation was, first laid
there has been no set-back due to
design. The first day the wheels
turned, with a green crew, Essex
bodies came off the assembly lines
and passed a rigid inspection.
These results reflect immense
credit on the entire Hudson or
ganisation and form an epoch in
the automtive industry.

fJ EXPLAINED
Mark on Milter Tires Started
First as initial Letter,
Writer Says
Accident played a part equal
to that of intention in the original
creation of many famous designs
and necessities. That we owe the
design, of our nation's flag to the
chance presence of stars and
stripes in the Washington coat
of arms is not widely known, Bet
sy Ross generally being credited
wfth the arbitrary tion of the
star and stripe motif of "Old
Glory."
Similarly, according to Miller
tire men, the famous "Geared-to-the-road
tread djd pot pring
from the mind of any tire engin
eer as the result of tests or re
search, but from the fact pf cas
ual importance, that the word
"Miller" began with an "M".
Back in the days of (be first
molded Miller tire, in 1909. in
order to produce a distinctive
tread for its tires, the Miller Rubr
ber company molded an "M" ver
tically across the tire. This mark
while distinctive, had several
drawbacks, among them the fact
that It was a one-way tread and
can entirely across the road sur
face.
Before the mark was patented.
it was found desirable to create a
design, in which one half of the
M was reversed wnien prpaueen
the. elements of the. bt famoirf
double chevron of the Miller, line,
separated to allow tor the running
strip between.
