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.

Popular Delusion.
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

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.
Yours sincerely,
The Great Western Garage

tho increase in their number, and with
reference to this it mny be pointed out
I that about seven years ago, when 2!i
per cent ofthc traffic, was mechanical
i and 75 per cent horse drawn, 1t wns
natural that tho proportion of accidents
; attributable to motor cars should bo
in about the snmo ratio. Now, how
ever, the proportion is entirely reversed
and motor cars form over is per cent
of the total traffic. The number of
B .accidents caused by motor vehicles has,
liierruirn, jiirrouneu every yenr anu
;soon they will rench 100 per cent, for
there will be no other kind of vehicle
left. Alrendy in certain thoroughfares
in tho larger cities the motor traffic
forms over P0 per cent of the total.

Eight Best Reasons Why
You Should
Cook With Gas
1. The perfect control of the heat makes good cooking
easy.
2. Meals can be cooked and eaten in the time it takes a
wood stove to get hot.
:). Labor of cooking greatly reduced because there is no
wood ashes to handle or chips to sweep up.
1. No suffering due to the heat from the stove in warm
weather. 1 .
5. No danger to your house from chimney fires or over
heated stoves.
G. Your good humor never ruffled by the troubles com
mon to wood stoves.
7. Anyone who has cooked with gas never wants to cook
with wood or coal again.
8. It is economical.
