Lord lluilen-l'owell favors nn In dividual rather than a KoverniiiK body to lead the movement. "One head would be better than a commission, if we can find the right man," he said. That is what ueadtpiarterK is considering. A man who by his personality can inspire the whole movement Is what is needed. Ho must he some thing more than n ceremonial head. "If any one takes it it will not be because he particularly wunts to, but becnuse his fellows want him to. and the man chosen miiy come from any rank."

The GREATER DO QJ HDSOR1 (COACH OTHER BODY MODELS AS Amazing improved cars at the lowest prices in BY WILLIAM J. McANEENY Pre&idaat Hudson Motor Cor Company We have built these models up to and beyond the 1931 standards of performance arid quality in every way, and have never in our history offered so many improvements. Quality is greater down to the last detail. Every phase of performance has been greatly improved, and the luxury we have built into the cars is substantially greater than ever before. Motors are larger and more powerful. An efficient 6ystem of oil cooling is introduced. A marked improvement in carburetion increases flexibility and economy. Bodies are longer and wider. These cars possess the finest, easiest riding qualities. For the first time, such comfort is available at these low prices. Only great manufacturing economics and the fact that our large resources permit us to take the fullest possible advantage of reduced commodity prices have en abled us to offer the public the greatest combination of qual ity and low prices in our entire history.
