Bear L For some time past there has ex isted certain agitation against motor vehicles on the ground that they cause more accidents than any other vehicles, writes Francis M. Hugo, secretary of stato for New York. Every one do sires to lessen the number of acci dents caused by all forms of locomo tion, but prejudiced statements have been made, and many people are still inclined to place them on the same basis as if they were tested evidence. Whilo it is, of course, impossible to contradict every misstatement, never theless some statistics mny be pre sented for comment and criticism. gmg D My new equipment consisting of a hydrogen plant enables mo to remove all carbon from gas engines without taking the ma chine down; thus saving expense and time to the owner.

First of nil,, attention is drawn to the common delusion, often misquoted as a tact, thut motor cars are the most dangerous form of traffic because they kill aiid injure more persons per vehicle. It js obvious that in any com parison everything depends not upon the number of vehicles but upon the distance run by different vehicles in the day, week, month or year. For instance, a four wheeled cab which runs say, for 12 miles per day incurs apart from other consideration less risk than a motor bus which is driven 125 miles per day. , There are other considerations, such as congested traffic points where risk of accidents is great, (is compared with districts where tho streets are wide and with little traffic. It is, therefore, fallacious to compare statistics of acci dents upon the number of vehicles only without taking other circumstances it f,,i.. i i '" """;" throughout the state amounted to 520 vol r I'SaS?

According to tho last report of the National Highway society the number of deaths caused by motor vehicles Why The Hudson Always Makes Good DccH Sir w . Buy 'a HUDSON and be S-U-R-E ! Why CHANCE IT by purchasing an untried car. A car that no one knows what it will do not even the man who makes it. There are many such on the market. The advertising of these carsREADS beautifully. It. makes you think they MUST be something very wonderful. But you know how easy it is for an enthusiastic advertising writer to lay on the rainbow touches. What the advertising SAYS has no effect on the car itself. ' ... The Hudson Light Six-40 is advertised by 10,000 owners who, collectively, have driven their cars OVER 25,000,000 miles of average roads. This is a bout all you read in the Hudson advertising. We have very little to PROM ISE. We tell you simply what the car HAS DONE. We leave you to judge. There are 26 light sizes on the market practically all of them COPIES of the Hdson Light Six which was the FIRST of this class. There were other sixes of course, but never before a car of this type until Howard E. Coffin showed the way. And he still is showing the way, for you never find a copy that Is as good as the ORIGINAL. . Some of these MAY BE good cars. WE do not know YOU do not know. Their MAKERS do not know. What we DO KNOW is that the HUDSON has been tried and proved. Experience is better than Experiment. It is bet ter to be SAFE than to be SORRY. In the Hudson 40 you get a beautiful car a light weight car a car on which you can depend under all conditions a car that is economical on tires and easy on gasoline a car that you can drive 200 miles a day without fati guea car that will be worth more proportionately when a year old than any similar car on the market. Buy a HUDSON six and BE SURE! Come see us andsee the car. We'll trade in your old car if we can agree on the terms.
