One Reason May be That Production Has Not Yet Reached the Possible Goal.

V. AHINOTOX. D. P., Nov. n. l:'I'ort? received by the government from the automobile manufacturing rtr are to the effect that as yet t.' automobile industry has not been -riously affected by the ftcel strike. .Motor car production, in fact, is 1 1 ;:dily climblntr, and by roxt spring if io expected that things will be v.-!l under way. Xo one is even willing to hazard a prediction that the supply will then equal the dej inH. That Is too fond a dream. Nor will any one venture an opinion as to what the price of cars v ill b. To th uninitiated it may seem t:ai plenty of time has elapsed, ten :.:onths to be exact, since the ban l motor car production was lifted, manufacturers to pet back Into t ! i i r stride. Automobile factories are umbersome thirds to pet started, 1 it once moving1 at their accustomed r;-efd they are equally hard to stop. T'.icre is so much tha enters into the construction of an automobile i r.d !t must be gathered, together Jrom so many different points that the work Is fdow and arduous. Years of HuHdlns. America's enormous pre-war pro- . iction of automobiles was the result f years of buiidinT. It meant tho ji .ev.mu:;jtion of vast quantities of materia!! coming In steadily all tho

It has been one reason fo the constantly Increasing coast of machines. Overhead must be divided aT.onff tho cars built. The smaller the number naturally the greater the rost of each. A factory only partly in operation meant a.s much In the v. ay of overhead its one running to apacity. Day by day a few more (f the different plants lue gotten h;to working: .-hare, until now most tf them are about ready to work in what was their prewar echet. ulo if they only had the materials in hand to Insure steady operation.

Many Thanksgiving Tables Will be Stocked by This

ffnimiA Mnthrte!

To the man who delights In eating a mallard duck hj has brought down himself the fisherman whose "own catch" tastes more appetizing than any fish lie ever ate in a rettaurant, "Farm-to-tablo" week, Xov. 1Z'22. has an unusual appeal. This year he can sit down to his Thanksgiving dinner with that Famo measure of satisfaction. Ills table may be laden with turkey, vegetables and fruit that he personally purchased from and conveyed from the farm in his automobile. His will be the satisfaction of knowing the food is fresh and wholesome that it came from his own community and was not shipped hundreds of miles in a storage car. Jji addition ho will feci that he has contributed his share in rescuing foodstuffs from the farmer "that otherwise) might never have been consumed for lack of transportation ficilites. That millions of Americans man, women and children will experience such a Thanksgiving dinner this year is practically assured. The message of "Farm-to-tablo" week has gone forth broadcast. Response far In excess of the hopes of Its promoters in manifested in every community in every state in tho union. The 3,000,000 city motorists in the United States will be generously represented on the country's highways and lanes during the week of Nov. 1 .'-22. The movement's slogan, "Motor to the country and fill your market baskets," has struck a responsive cord and even during the past 10 days ever since tho announcement of the plan greatly increased patronage of tho roadside market is reported from hundreds of rural districts. The movement has been publicly endorsed by governors of states, mayors of cities, chambers of commerce, automobile clubs and civic and farmers' societies-. Tons and tons of foodstuff is expected to find its way to the city consumer's table through tho "Farm-to-tablo" route

Illinois Pushes Work on State System of Roads

DETROIT, .Mich., Nov. 8. Reoent reports received from S. E. Bradt, state highway commissioner of Illinois at the headquarters of tho Lincoln Highway association here, indicate that the state has made wonderful progress this year in permanent highway construction on tho most Important through routes in tho Btate, which form links in transcontinental and inter-state highways. Illinois is so far practically the only state that has concentrated all of its federal aid funds upon a connected to'stem of through routes. With tho best interest of the state and nation In mind, and not wltrmut considerable opposition, tho state highway department has adopted the far-sighted policy of conoentratins: available funds upon the first improvemc-nt of the most important roads which are not only state highways, but important links In interstate connections. As an indication of what has been been accomplished since the sa.te first undertook the policy of permanent connecting construction, it should bo noted that the first advertising for bids on any of this work was don last April, and since then more than 500 xrHles of concrete construction of tho highest typ, totaling- in cost over $16,SS0.000, have been let. Contracts have been awarded on

tho Lincoln highway, which crosses the northern part of the state from east to west, for 89.44 mile?. Next year will see tho completicn of a standard concrete Lincoln highway entirely acro-s the state line from Chicago Heights to Clinton, Iowa, on the Missi?ippi. The Lincoln Highway Feeder road frcm Chicago Heights to Chicago an! from the metropolis connecting with the Lincoln highway again at Geneva via Wheaton will also be of concrete. On the Dixie highway 59.15 miles of concrete paving has been let; 228.71 miles on the important Chicago to St Louis connection and 121. 4S miles on the socalled "National Highway- which crosses the southern part of the state from Terro Haute, Ind., to East St. Louis. None of tho worl; indicated herein comes under the Illinois state highway program that is to bo undertaken with funds derived from the JCOi,000,000 bond issue authorized last November. Wtih tho proceeds of that Issue and beginning in lfr20 the state highway department will undertake to network th entire state with a system of somo 4,800 miles of concrete construction. Illinois is emerging from the mud and in doinr to Is spending her federal aid and state funds in a way which could well be followed by other states now contemplating vast highway expenditures.

aspect Hudson

Has No Rival

The Super-Six Motor is Patented and Exclusive. It Added 72 per cent to Power

Don't forget that no other car in the world has a motor like the Hudson SuperSix. When you see a Hudson doing the things that only the highest powered cars can do. remember that in size, the Super-Six motor is not large and that it obtains its great power because of the patented principle which minimizes vibration. Adds to the Life of the Car, too Vibration is the greatest destructive force about a motor car. Vibration does far more damage than any shock received in useful service. You can ?ee its destructive effects when a motor is Wtced. Vibration absorbs power. By minimizing it, greater power is available for the operation of the car. And there is less strain and damage done through self destruction.

The records made by the Super-Six were possible only because of its patented motor. It enabled the Hudson to maintain close to its maximum speed for hours, even days as in one test, without hammering itself to pieces. Now Note How Hudson Is Even Greater Hudson records were made more than three years ago. Then 60,000 SuperSixes were distributed to owners. Everyone became a help in making the present model a finefH?tter Hudson, of which 100 are delivered daily. The qualities of every detail were brought up to match the motor, that had reached a new high level of efficiency. All men seem to know this. For four years Hudson has been the largest selling fine car. Practically every buyer has had to wait fory delivery. Even now we are booking orders foradvance delivery. That men will wait to get the car of their choice is proof of Hudson quality. What greater testimonial can there be?

Battery

Kokomo, Indiana, November 5th, 1919. O: K. Giant Battery' Co. Gentlemen: As per your request that I malte an exhaustive test of your dry storage battery, I beg to submit the following result: When I received this battery, it did not contain a full charge showing a fraction of 6 volts, and about 210 ampere across the terminals. The first test I put it on a load drawing 50 amperes which we continued for 27 minutes and at the end of this time it showed 4 volts under load with no drop in amperage. I then left it stand 10 minutes during which time it recuperated to practically the original voltage of a fraction under 6? I continued this test until I had drained the battery down to 3 volts or V4 volts per cell. Next I put it on a charge at the rate of 10 amperes for 6 hours and then reduced to 6 amperes for 3 hours, at which time I got a reading of 7 volts and 290 amperes. The next test was to put it to cranking a motor and I gave it what I considered a severe trial, in this test, it cranked this motor at a high speed for 14 minutes, drawing 125 amperes continuously, then began to slow down but still cranking it at a firing speed at the end of 17 minutes, when I pulled it off. After letting it rest 8 minutes I again put it on the motor and got a high speed for 2 minutes then slowed up but still maintaining a firing speed at the 2nd of 3l2 minutes when I pulled it off. I have conducted tests on a great many batteries but I consider this an exceptional record. APPERSON BROTHERS AUTOMOBILE CO. Harry W. Rollins, HR:PH " Electrical Engineer. "Copy of Test"

The O. K. Giant is a dry rechargeable battery. Requires no attention. Can not freeze. Will outlast your car. Last opportunity to purchase shares at Ten Dollars.
