- Automobiles - • December 23, 1919. Dear Sir —In winning the transcontinental army air service race Lieut. W. B. Maynard flew from the Atlantic to the Pacific and back again, a distance of 5,409 miles in 49 hours actual flying time. His total elapsed time for the entire trip, however, was 7 days, 3 hours and 21 minutes. It is interesting to contrast this wonderful achievement with the record made three years ago by a stock Hudson Super-Six over the same course. The iHudson made the round trip from San Francisco to New York in 10 days, 21 hours and 3 minutes, a distance of 7,952 miles. It crossed mountains and rivers, rural highways and desert trails in establishing a mark which ■still stands despite the efforts of others to better it. Lieut. Maynard flew as the crow would fly- He was delayed in Cheyenne by a broken radiator. At San Francisco the plane required new wings and the replacement of other parts. Near Omaha a broken crank-shaft made necessary the installation of a new engine, which was taken from the iplane of a disabled contestant. Traveling 2,552 miles further than did Maynard, a distance equal to almost once again, across the continent, the Hudson Super-Six was but 3 days, 18 hours longer in making the entire journey and the same Super-Six motor was running as smoothly at the finish as it was at the start. Had rain not delayed the car 6 hours in New York and 15 hours In the Sierra Nevada mountains,' its. record would have been lowered 21 hours. The patented Super-Six motor, which can be obtained only in a Hudson, gives a 72% increase in power without any increase in weight or the sacrifice of simplicity. The result is the supreme endurance proved in the most terrific tests to which any car has been subjected as well as in the hands of more than 70,000 owners. Yours very truly, HUGH KIRK.

Washington.—The Hawaiian moonshiner has developed a product that is said to have a worse "edge” than any produced, in- continental United States. It is “okolehea,” which pronounced Is not unlike the melody of a Swiss yodler. Prince Kalanlancole says It means'in plain vernacular "hot stuff,” and has a kick that would put “old settln* hen,” “stump rum” and "mountain dew” In the shade. “Okolehea” is a gin made from the root of a “tl-plant” or “draecena.” It is distilled in the mountains and as there are but two or three revenue agents for the locality, the Hawaiian mountaineer has a comparatively easy time.
