And Us makers, with a confi dence torn of 22 years successful experience, are emphasic in their claim that the Hudson Great Sight Is an entirely new type in motordom. The new car Is being shown at the State Motors,, corner Chemeketa and High street. Power with economy and' with out the penalty of over-weighted ' mechanism is provi&ed by the new Great Eight motor, designed to glye the maximum In smooth quiet performance. Years of experimentation bare preceded the introduction of what Hudson engineers believe to be the maximum performance stan dards possible in an eight cylin der car, and eight cylinder Hud sons have been tested u ne'er every possible condition using the highways as their testing ground for the past two years. The ear is ultra - modern, not only in Its Great Eight perfor mance standards but in its roomi ness, body lines and down to the last detail of upholstery, fittings and appointments. The modern istic motif, though carefully re strained, Is apparent , from the first glance at the new motfels. Two chassis are available, the standard wheel base being 119 Inches, and the larger I size, 126 inches. WhiTe jthe, two chassis differ in length, to accommodate standard or deluxe bodies, and in all minor details, they are identi cal as far as design apa funda mental structural features are concerned. Low cradled, giving the latest close-to-the-ground effect and thus emphasizing the trend to the modernistic, full baloon tires pro Tide the maximum riding cQm fort under all conditions. There are ten body types. The Coach, Sec'an, Coupe, Phaeton, Roadster, and Sun Sedan are on 110 inch chassis; the larger, 126 Inch chassis, carrier the touring Sedan, 7-passenger Sedan, Broug ham, and 7-Passenger Phaeton body types. The Great 8 Jlotcir The power plant is a compact, quiet, Ideally responsive 8-cylln-der Lrhead motor mounted with fourpolnt suspension, in rubber cushions. With a bore of 2 Inches ana' a stroke of 4 M Inches, giving a piston displacement of 213.8 cubic Inches, and with the high compression ratio of 6.78, the engine delivers 80 horsepow er. The power yield of 80 horse power comes from an -unusually low gasoline consumption, a fac tor to which the carefully work ed out easy flow manifolding sys tem materially contributes. The cylinders and the upper part of the crankcase form a sin gle -rigid casting. There are two separate cylinder heads, each for four cylinders, an arrangement which facilitates service work on pistons, valves ana' other motor parts. The crankshaft Is a develop ment of the famous Hudson prin ciple applied to an eight. Heavy for a motor of the size of the Great Eight, it Is counterweleght- ed to give perfect inherent bal ance through ail speed ranges. without whip or vibration;' It r .volves in five main bearings of ""UJagg(gS(Ssw MJ"' --- 1 - -mmmmmi JaaMi 'V 1 1 V If rw i nil) 'W r - The stylish modernistic motif which adds distinction to this Hudson Great Eight Standard Sedan has been carried through to the smallest detail in color, appointments, upholstery and fittings.

FAMOUS ST HU LOS ANGELES (AP) Before the old west began to wane Robert W. Brydon, then 27, decided ranching was poor business. He got a Job as errand "boy" in a Harness and saddle snop nere at 16 a week. The other day he sold that same shop for $100,000. Brydon's claim to fame lies in the saddles he and his associates made. It was not uncommon for a sheriff and the bandit he pur sued both to be riding Brydon saddles. They have been ridden nearly all over the world. One day a stranger looked over the shop and asked if those were all he had. "I haven't anything good enough for you," said Brydon, playing a hunch. "What you need is a $1,000 saddle." The stranger stared, for at that time no such saddle had been made in this country. "Can you made a saddle really worth 81,- 000," he asked. The man wa9 "Klondike" Ber ry, wno had discovered gold in Alaska. The fame of the saddle Brydon made for him spread far and wide. Later Brydon sold one to Anita Baldwin for $3,500. E. L. Doheny. the oil magnate, and Tom Mix, screen cowboy. were among his cust'mers. He made a special saddle for Presi dent Taft to use in his trip to the Grand Canyon. When the first automobile chugged over the horizon, Bry don's associates became panicky and he bought them out. He be gan to specialize in saddles which would appeal to "society" riders, Scores of shops went out of business but the one .built up by Brydon Is still selling riding gear at the address at whlch.lt was established 28 years ago.

WE PURCHASE HAS WHS The old-fashioned man who re moved the battery and put the family touring car on trestles at the first frost now has a son who buys his car In the winter and drives It every day. because it Is not only practical but economical. Breaking In a new car during! cold weather offers several ad vantages, according to James E. Fitzgerald, local Chrysler distri butor, and motorists who used to think that winter was a time to get along with their old car are realizing it Is false economy. "Buyers taking delivery at this time of year have their new ear when It is most important to have dependable engine that starts easily, perfect brakes, new tires and a new nattery," said Mr. Fitz gerald. "The saving of time and repair expense plus the satisfac tion of driving a car that will operate faithfully In the severest weather, are reducing the practice of deferring new ear deliveries until spring. "In breaking In a new car dur ing the winter months, there is no attempt to speed, and the en gine is not subjected to fast driv ing or extreme heat until it Is ready to withstand such strain. The design of the latest mator creations insures economical and dependable year around perform ance, while the high quality of lacquer finish and chromium plat ing easily resists extreme winter weather." U TRACES FOUND ON AMAZON BIO DB JANlEflO (AP) Discovery of inscriptions carved on Amazon valley rocks bare re vived a belief that 4,400 years or more ago Phoenicians discovered America, navigated the Amazon and built a city there. These finds were made by Sr. Barbosa while on a trip a few months ago with General Rondon, Brazil's most famous explorer. The earrings were ta hierogly phics. Information about them Is with held 'While decoding goes on, a job expected to take about a year. They vera found la rock forma tions along the Cnmina river In the state of Para and on bits of pottery. DETROIT. AP) Although. scarcely a year old, the auto trans port trailer has passed tnrougn three distinct stages and has emerged .an apparatus of six-car capacity. . Literally thousands of automo biles which formerly were driven from factory to dealer on their own wheels now make the trip perched atop 60-foot trailers be hind a 10-foot truck power plant, the latest ones double decked for maximum capacity with minimum length. Length restrictions in the va rious states were the principal factors governing development of the trailer.' Earlier carriers had a capacity of four small cars. Then, by raising the front car on a plvotedrack above the hood of the second car In line, the ca pacity was increased to four long wheel-base automobiles. Finally came the double-decked trailer which can carry six auto mobiles of long wheel base. Cars occupying the upper, tier are load ed first and raised to riding posi tion one at a time on an elevated track powered by the truck mo tor. Except for the elevating pro cess, the automobiles to be een veyed are run aboard the trailer under their own power. They are anchored so firmly as to become, In effect, a part of the trailer. Despite their length, 0 feet from hood to tail light, the truck and trailer can negotiate short eurves, it Is claimed, without In terfering with other traffic. They are in regular operation In moun tainous regions. The longest haul on record here la 1,160 miles. One company Is operating trailers over that dis tance In regular service out- of Detroit.
