Super-Six Specials Defeat Rival Racers in Every July *Event—More Proofs of Endurance

Championship SpeHwny Rnccs ap;nin reveal thc mightyendurance of thc Hudson Super-Six.

In the three July 4th events, Hudson endurance defeatedthe fastest curs known to racing.

In n field of 28 starters nt Cincinnati, Memorial Dny, thefour Hudson specials finished first in the Free-for-all; Second,Seventh and Ninth in the 250-Mile event.

At Chicago, Ralph Mulford on June I6th established theAmerican Speedway records for 150 miles und for 200 milesat art average of 104 miles per hour.

Made Stock Car Recordsi

Last YearLast year Super-Six stoclc cnrs and stock chassis made new

and important records for cndurnncc, power und speed. Thosewere non-competitive tests. They were made against thc besttimes of other cars.

They included the fastest stock chassis mile—-the 100-mile•tock car record—thc one-hour utoclc car record and thc 24-hourstock chassis record. These were olliciully timed by thc AmericanAutomobile Association.

Then in addition to these, u seven passenger Hudson Super-Six Phaeton broke every tranuconuneiitiil automobile record.Xt did it both ways In'the only double, twicc-ncrosa-Amcricarun over attempted nijum-t time.

All Hudson records mo thc result,of Hudson endurance.Cars may be built lighter and have more power, weight con-

sidered, just as moat of the racers urc, but none have proved anequal degree of endurance.

That is whAr Hudsons win. ^H^It is why no many professional race drlvcrs^Bvc adopted

Hudsons in their speedway races.In thc three July 4th races you will note some of thc Hudsons

were rebuilt stock curs. They .were made suitable for 'racingbecause their owners had confidence In them to win prizes.

The cnrs were entered indcpemlcr.t of any factory influence.

You Too C»n Relyon Hudson Endurance

In converting Hudson Super-Six hleclt curs tl'eso men mndcsno change in tlu. prim:ii>le that iint:oinit.ii for l-Tarfwm endurance,They incrcly mr.de such clumcca aa can be ni;idc to, utvy 1'udton,Super-Six. They did not have to do anything to, increase theendurance quality of ilic cars. That quality ta tuilt into cvery-Huduuri Super-Six.

You. of course, pro not interested ii> owning a wcing car, butwhen racing tcvculit n quality so innostaiic fis t l 'Mt of endu-rance, as It docs with the1 HiuUoii Super-Six, then you arcinterested in KB performance.

Thc upecilwiiy uho'.va, in u few miles, wcalcnit.iiioii thnt it inlnhtrcfiuirc thouaniul.'i of miles of onllunry ncrvicc to rcvenl. Youarc not interested so much in wriiic l!ic performance will he in a,cur you buy in its finit few thousand miles.

You vvnnt to know what you can depend upon nfter the carhas seen thoiii'unds (if ini lco of' r.crvico. Look at theao records,and you will HCC whnt''yol» m«y expect of thc Hudson Super-Six.

Thc speedway tent of 150 miles la more trying than thc thou-sands of miles you will drive with your cur.

You want to know wlmt thc c<->r you buy now la likely to costin maintenance. You want to know how much time it will be-in the, repair shop after a half Benson's use. Do not these proofs,persuade yoU'to buy a Hudson Super-Slxi* They should. 37,000have already bought and they have added to these record,*, theirown expcricnccu with lliR lliulson/Supcr-Slx.

There arc eight body types on the Hudson Super-Six. Thc.Phaeton 7-pastiengcr cur sells nt $1650 at Detroit.

.until- your hair is gray, but His Judg-ments will surely come or His re-^wards will follow.. And at the appointed time, to thevery day that God said He wouldcome He appeared under the leader-ship of Moses to lead them out, and.old Pharaoh, the 'king, refused : to -letthe people go, and God was com-pelled to afflict him and the peoplewith plague after plague, and it wasduring the prevalence of one of thesethat the soliloquy between Moses and.Pharaoh, of which my text Is a frag-ment, occurred.

It was the plague of frogs. Theywere tp be seen and found every-where. The land stunk with theirdead bodies in wells; rivers andcreeks were filled and the" peoplewere calling for deliverance. Pharaohsent for Moses and Moses .said tohim: " When shall I entreat the Lordthat he take away the plague?" And

;he answered In the words of mytext: "And he said to-morrow."

I never thought that argued mucht for the . common sense . of ; Pharaoh,

because her had sent for Moses oft-times and, Moses had answered hisprayer and the plague had been stay-ed, and he knew from experience thatthere stood the only 'man In the na-tion that bald the secret of the touch

. many^-that are saying,. "I wouldn't' have' done, that," but you have been

GOING TO COLLEGE

A college education is a good thingor those who can afford it and whoave enough interest in their own edu-

cation to take full advantage of theipportunity which the'college otters

them, and to follow up afterwards ^hetart which they get in college. But If

boy has no higher object in going tocollege than to get on to the ball team>r the boat crew, he can learn ath-letics more cheaply elsewhere. A greatleal of time Is-wasted in college by»oys who'have no real desire for aneducation and practically do not' getne, even though they do manage td;et a degree. '•. The four years spent

In college by such boys could be used:o better advantage. :

There are many questions to be con-itdered in choosing a. college, but the

most important one.is the nature ofhe Influences to which yon.-would beexposed. If you want to come out aonflrmed skeptic, rebellious in heart.nd mind .against God, - Father Rocke-leller's Chicago University would be a;ood-place: to go,™r think,- but-there

are other colleges which might do al-mest as much for yon in that line.

It IB probable that the spiritual at-mosphere of the smaller collegeswould be more wholesome than thatIn the larger colleges, and if themailer colleges ~(do-;not- possess—all

the advantages and appliances that arjsto he found inline great universities,that-dlgadvantage-may-be-munh mnmjthan offset by closer relations betweenhe students and the professors. Whilehe teaching ot religion is not a partif the business ot a college, the ntti-:nde ot the professors toward religionwill necessarily exert a powerful in-uence on the minds of the pupils Andhe development of a strong characterbased on .true thoughts concerning God,nd concerning duty will be worth

more to any youth than any amcuntit book learning saturated'with falsefleas; on the most Important of all sub-lects. . . . ' < - - - • .

One of the advantages which col-lege life affords is the chance to formfriendships which may last for life,iit of course there'is another side tohis advantage, thero is the possibilityif choosing unworthy friends, ortlonds-witbrwrong-viewB-of" life- and.s responsibilities. In the smallerlolleges it must be easier to 'form aorrect estimate of the character ofmo's associates.

Paurtells us that "In 'the wisdom,ofGod the world through Its wisdomknew.-not God.". (1 Cor. 1:2U TheWisdom of the world, is of necessitybased upon the , experiences of, thepresent life, and it always tongs:; toexaggerate the importance of. outwardthings. It seeks happiness in outwardsuccess or achievement^ or in someform of amusement or 'of sensualPleasure, or in the acquisition ofknowledge; it cannot bring Itself toa realization of the truth that real joycan only be found in the love thatturns away from all forms of self-seeking and devotes itself unreserved-

The highest wisdom is to. obey thehighest law, and the most satisfyingpleasure that is possible to us-.ls to bofound in a consciousness of honesteffort to fulfill life's supreme .obliga-tion. It is only by getting Into har-mony with the laws of our physicalnature that we can hope to enjoy goodhealth of body, and It Is only. 'by. get-;lng Into harmony with the laws ofiur spiritual'nature that we can hope

to have health of spirit without which;t-js impossible to have lasting orsatisfying Joy. '

The supreme law is, "Thou Bhaltove the Lord thy God with all thine

iheart, and^thy neighbor as •thyself,''and if we.want to be truly wise, if we'want to get the most out of life, wemust strive to fulfill that law.

"Even in laughter .the heart la sor-•owful, and the end of mirth is

heaviness." That IB true of a greatdeal of mirth, but'it is not true of allmirth. Everything depends on thesource of mirth and the, spirit thatpervades It . Mirth may be a greataid to physical and mental health, andeven to spiritual health. "A merryheart doeth -good like a 'medicine"(Prov. 17:22; Neh. 8:10-12.) Solomonwas evidently thinking-;of "the laugh-ter of fools" when he said that laugh-ter is sorrowful.. (See Eccl. 2:2; 7:6.)

Our Sabbath school lesson this -weekgives a very good-illuatration of-th'e-foliy of being too wise to obey God.

Golden Text—Let. the wicked -for-sake his way, and the unrighteousman his thoughts; and let him returninto Johbsah, and he will have mercyupon him; and to our God, for He willabundantly pardon. Isaiah 65:7. •.

One cannot read these records ofthe people whom God had chosen torepresent Him in the ancient worldwithout wondering a little at the per-sistent tendency___to... ldolatry_whlch.they manifested. ,

T/hey had God/s promise that itthey would be true-to H1W, He wouldprotect and bless and prosper themgreatly, and they bad been solemnly,warned 'that if they rebelled againstGod He would puiilsh them severely.(See Deut. 28:1-68), and this prom-so and-this~warnlng;-had boen-veri-;

fled In their history many times. Yetthey were continually turning theirbacks on God and worshipping idols,and .reaping the reward of their sinn national degradation and discom-fiture. .

Even God expressed surprise attheir perversity,, in . view of the factthat It brought upon them so muchsuffering. "Wherefore do you spendyour money for that which I* notbroad, and your labor for that whichsatlsfleth not?" Ho asked. "What in-iquity have, your fathers found inMo, that they are gone far from Me,and liavo walked after vanity?" "Hatha nation changed their gods, whichare yet no gods? But my people have

hanged their glory for that whlohdoth not profit. Bo astonished, O yeheavens at this." (Jor. 2:5-12).

Tho Israelites were led Into idol-atry by two principal incentive*. Onewas tho desire to bo in tho fashion.Tho nations around them ware allIdolaters, and the Israelites wantedto ho like their neighbors. But «stronger reason was that Idolatrywas associated, with llcentlousneis. Itwas tho Inherent depravity ot theirhearts that drew them to a form otreligion which permitted and evenencouraged. eenmiallty.

There iln a strange sequence ofgood and had, bad and good, In therecord of th«no kings of Jiidali. Thegood Hozoklnh \v«a 'the son of thowinked Aha*. and tho father of thowicked Manaaaoh, who, however, re-pented at last and did what ho couldto undo tho uvll that ho had done,Yet tho son ot Manaoneh turned awayfrom the good wnyn which hln fatherhad followed after his repentanceand restored tho worship ot Irt'oln,UlR Ron Joalah wn§ a very good klnff,but Joalah'a nonn were had.

It would Roem from thin recordthat the Influonoo of the father musthave boon ot minor Importance in thodevelopment of the ' ion. Probablythe mother had a moro direct con-noetlon with the BOII'H • trulnlnu thanthe father had, And tho young prliice'ntuton and aannclAtoi would ofcourHo oxorcUo a powerful influenceon hie opinions, It l» much eaclor

man nature, Is downward. As Tenny-son .expreases it; we take "full easilyall Impressions from below." • ' • • •'.:,;'• U' •'Manasseh 'was,; ofy, .tyelve,,yeala

It Is a very hopeful sign whena boy. of. twelve to fifteen 'realizesthat his father and mother,'are muchwiser than he is. - ' ' /

Manasseh evidently. '• thought him-self much smarter than his father,for he at' once < reversed tils father'spolicy, and restored idol worship.-Presumably^- he -fbegan-by^forsaklng-the counsel of the'old men whom hisfather had trusted and taking coun-sel- with young men 'that were, grownup with him, as Rehoboam had done.(See 2 Chrbn. 10:8). Boya have atremendous influence over each oth-er, and it Is too often a very, harmfulinfluence. . • -- ' . ' . - . ' ! 'Manassah was not only. an. idolater;

he soon became 'a tyrant. He "shedInnocent blood Very much till he hadfilled Jerusalem from one end to' an-other." (2 Kings 21:16). Josephus.tells us that Manasseh slew all therighteous and the prophets day byday, so that Jerusalem flowed w':':blood. No doubt the young king hatelall those who - protested against hisrestoration of idol worship. Traditionsays that Isaiah was sawed in two atthis time. (See Heb. 11:37; Jer.2:30).

God punished Manasseh and Manas-seh repented, and was forgiven, buthe could not counteract the-evil con-sequences of his sins, (2 Kings 21:10-12). .

meat-eaters generally there appearsto be a /higher standard of health.There is also a marked improvementIn health when moderation has takenthe place of over-indulgence. . • ' ,

It is surprising .how little' food Isactually necessary in -order to main-tain a good ftato ot health. Sir Hen'ry Thompson gives the case of Cor-naro, the Italian, who, at the age offorty, finding the doctors, unable tocure him, took his case in hand, dimln.Ished his food little by little till <ltreached but' one poached egg a day,and lived la excellent health, until thoage of 103. ' •

Here Is another typical cose of theexcellent -health which can be enjoyedby abstainers from meat. A Mr. Wll-lam Alrd, his father and daughter, alllv« on -ealad anJ-frult, and enjoylaht

solute freedom from ill-health. Mr.Alrd and his daughter, twelve yearsold, apent their, holiday lost summern the South of -England; they each

carried a rug and a bag, and walkedtwenty miles a day.

Another gentleman, a former murtyrto Hclatlca, who 'la' now to perfecthealth, claims that for two years hohas eaten nothing but fruit. He findsIt »B easy to Bleep In his garden, wotor dry, as in his own bod.'

Very Interesting, too, da tho case ofa West Malvorn young lady, who, hav-ng been for years, o sufferer from

ORIGIN OF SOME WOODS.

The lemon. It Is said, takes its namefrom the city of Lima.

Loadstone la a corrupt translationof Lydlus lapus, tho stone of Lydla.

Tho words money reminds us thattho coinage of tho Romans was etruck

at the temple ot Juno Monleta, thogoddess of counsel.

"Dollar" IB from tho Gorman thaler,which la derived from. Thai, tho valleyot Joachim,' in Bohemia, where thesilver work* woro situated that madeUils coin.

The word "panic" has a curiousorigin. According to Horodotua, thogod of Pan waa supposed to have as-sisted the Greeks at the -battle of Mar-athon, 490 B. C., striking such a ter-ror into the Persian host that theyfled to tliolr ships in perfect dismay.From that time the Greek word panl-kon waa lined to describe unreason-able or sudden and overpoweringfear.— Argua.

Recent publication by Prof, H, H.Klmball brings to our notice tho use-ful conception of "civil twilight"This may bo roughly defined as thoperiod after tho setting or .before thorising ot tho sun during which thereis enough daylight for working out otdoors or for reading ordinary printIndoors. It ends in tho evening andbegins In the niornlng -whan the sunis about six degrees below the hori-zon, corresponding to tho momentwhen first-magnitude stars aro Justvisible. In the evening and In'clearweather it ends with tho disappear-ance of tho ordinary "purple light" oftho western sky, and In tho morningIt begins when the."purple light" ap-pears in the eastern sky. Civil twi-light is distinguished from astronomi-cal twilight; I. o,, the interval'betweensunrise or sunset and complete dark-ness, limited by a, aolar depr'ewlon ofabout eighteen degrees. Hero aresome notable flacta about civil twi-light: Tho conception appears tohave boon introduced into science.(yJ. H.

nother visit from Germany lastSaturday, ou a larger scale thanhe last one, arid I was fortunaten being close at hand, and saw it

. It gi'^ly wi*g !* "igb*. althp*'rightful. Ypn could never appre-ciate the feeling it gives one to.wilnesa a sight like that. Sort amakea__one-_,fee]Lj5jigloU3 'all "atonce,. Tbe casualties were muchigutei'than the previous raid, as>eople saw the machines in timeo take to shelter. I was on top of

but, going to the city, when I. ie"diu"«fl7lbokliig~Iike a~fl6ck~6f)irds coming frbm the northwest.At first J thought they were British>lanes, but soon, noticed puffs ofimoke breaking alt around them

and realized they were, Germans.Believe me, I got off that bus, useveryone did, an we were Hearinghe^city-=-thelpart_they-generally

make for.' I stood in the streetnd watched them until two camelirectly overhead, then I went into

L building • until theyjiad passed.[Miese two were very obliging whilen our locality, and did not dropwinbu. However, not far a\vayhere was itn awful fuss, and that,ogetber with the' nolne of gunsbooting at them, kicked up quite

a row, ' , . • ' ' .I am going to the War office in

an hoiit, and hope'to succeedgetting placed somewhere. Itold, Saturday, that everything

HKCOND t.icrmi,—Jui>-nthYeiitentay and tu-day I have

certainly rushed around und at lastam nettled,—-going to France^tooln the American forces. Theflying CorpH proposition fell flat,

they cannot accept Americans;so ,1 went to our embassy, wherehey gave, me a passport for Paris,

and said I could join up there.It is surely a relief, and alsodistinction to be the only one iu

England to undertake this, Othersre awaiting theresultof my effort,o follow. So you »ee I nm "the

• glve-her'-father— the-best — "dressing1 down'' he had had for years and years

surely, and ' she knew, although aharespected hlin for it, that with everyword ho was but making mattersworse Instead of better.

And that was— ah, mo!— -ten yearsback. Tho girl who had been nineteenwas now twenty-nine, and hopolos^ly"on tho shelf." Pretty still, yes; aspretty OB a picture. But "on the nliolf"'matrimonially, all the same, seeingshe liml not a penny 'to bless herselfwith, and lived in a little roHo-em-

But Gladys know something her• little •world o( aoldlnglmm did notknow.

This tmall boy had been sent en Inadvanoo, like luggage, with an oldhouwkOBpor. who wai •upponed, withthe Old itaff of aorranU, to bo' gettingthing* Into shipshape for tho nowmaster, Hho Boomed ul»d to find < a,haven of root for llttlo Georgia, auoh« dear llUle school, with, inch A dearllttlo nilitres*.

jut for the kiddle hlnwelf, ho Ju*twalked iitralght Into Gtadya' hoart,

InTxed' marriage and motherhood. Beseemed to think It was necessary thatsomeone, presumably himself, shouldmarry Gladys, in order that he couldhave her really and truly aa a mother,and, as there-seemed nobody-else forthe lob, he was more than willing totake H on himself. • .

He remembered his own mothersomewhere back there, far away. Hewanted someone in her place, some-"one~not qulleT'llke^MrsTBenson,. thehousekeeper, tf though she was quiteall right Inkier;way. Now Gladys hadswum into his ken he knew in everyfibre of his being that fie had metthe right one. ' . :",;.

"I don't think George'll ever find hisway homo again," Mrs. Benson hadsaid, the flret day. "He walks withhls-hcad. in tb° a'r and his thoughts-wool-gathering." . • - . . . .

"J'll see him -home, as far as thogates at any rate," Gladys had said,"till ho can go alone."

But she had -continued to takeGeorge home for three months pearlynow, and never thought of anythingelse. Sho just loved It It was a nicewalk, a change, a rest, and Georgetalked so wisely, too.

Sho had Just said her last good-byo1

to tho little figure disappearing roundtho curve of tho drive.

"Oh!"The exclamation was what doctors

would call symptomatic. But onlyono person heard it, and ho was of thedonee and callous kind upon whomsuch Indications of sensitiveness arethrown away.

"Good afternoon, Miss Gladys," saidMr, Iwano Sharp, tho estate bailiff, whohad managed things for tho old siulre,and still continued to manage—ormlnmnnago—them for tho now, nowthat the o*tato had booh sold. "Ihave news (or you—bad news, Ifoar."

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear " that, Mr,Sharp. Nobody dead, I hope?"

"Oh, dear, no," said the bailiff."It's only that tho lease of Rose Cot-tage runs out with tho quarter ftn.d 1can't ronow It."

"What! C«n^fc—renew It7"'No. I'd be glad to oblige you, and

your mother, but tho fact la, I've anoffer of double tho rent. Yon see, It'sa pretty situation, and people covetIt."

'But It'll ruin us. It will break upour school. Tlioro Isn't another housefor. mlloH that I know of."

"I'm sure of that," said Sharp. "IInquired. "But what can I do? It is•ot us If I ' were my own master. ,1have annthor'a Interests to servo. Itwould hardly bo honcotto lot a goodoffer like this go by. What wouldthe new aqulro nay?" '

"I'm sure that llttlo Georgo'efather ",• finarp laughed. "My dear Mls»Gladys," ho said, "human nature \*much the oamo In ovoryljody, and afather Is not to bo Judged by a child.

In fact,' I have strict instructions fromhim 4o do all I can to increase therevenue of the. estate, and I must domy duty by my employer.".

This unctuous talk from a man whobad been a hard taskmaster in theold squire's time, and who was hatedby everybody, and especially by thosewho nattered him most, sickenedGladys. She felt an utter loathing forhim. Besides, sh'e knew, deep-downIn her heart, that this was but hispretty way of revenge. But she'didnot anticipate a renewal at such atime as this of. Wtrjtprmer^ prpteBia-tlons;_ .•.-„_, :1-..•- __2 '_.

"You utand In your own light, MissGladys," he said. "Yes; and In yourmother's as well. I must let the cot-tage. That Is my plain duty. -Yousay there Is not another house formiles to which you could go. ThereIs. There's mine—for you—and yourmother, too,"

an ordinary-letter of ejectment conse-quent on. the expiring ot the lease. .

'Think of the wife and daughter ofCharlea Conway of Maplebank In the

baits to run Mrs. Conway for iwas worth, and to Gladys he knew Bhoworth everything. '-'

"For your mother, too," he said, andlooked at the flushed face of theschoolmistress from under his thickbrows. .

"I—I—would rather—you didn'tmention this—matter again," saidGladys, hardly knowing what she didsay.

"That's final, then," ho said, twist-ing viciously on his heel., "In the fu-ture you go your way, a fooUsh anda hard,way. I go mine. It you thinkbatter of it, in the course of tho day,after you have aeon your mother,well, wo shall see."

The next morning she found hermother In team over an open letter.

"dlodyis—oh, Gladys—what shall wodoT What—what ehall we doT Itmoans tho wortdfouse. Read that I"

Gladys did not need to "read that/but she took the latter as If she hadboon handling a serpent. It was Ju*t

workhouse!'' moaned Mrs. Conway."The papers will be full of it. Itwill kill me."

I don't think the papers will caretwo cents," said Gladys. . .

'Oh, but the shame! You don't seemto realize it, Gladys. If you couldonly have said yes to thU man! Hemay not be your Ideal, Gladys, butyou are not as young as you oncowere." y - '.-,:-.------.-'--\-. -

tasted and went out, sho prayed to bespared a humiliation to , which tho•workhou,so would bo an honor.

Old Mrs. Benson brought Georgie toschool that morning. When she wasleaving him behind «bo said, "An It'sa half-holiday to-day, and I'm goingInto Bencaster, I wish you'd come upto the Manor and have tea withGeorgto, Mlflu Conway. It's Goorglo's,Idea, and a good one. Como as earlyas you like, and bring your, mother."

So that was bow it came to post*that Mra, Conway got such a uniqueopportunity of airing hor grievancesand pleading her cause.

Gladys and llttlo George hod justsettled her comfortably in a deck-chair on tho lovely terrace, and nowthere were stops on the gravel bohind her. What could Gladys wantno early? Yet Bho felt glad aho hadreturned, for sho wanted to say something to her, something that had been
