E TOE OMAHA SUNDAY DEE: OCTOBER 1, 1911. HUDSON STARTER IS GOOD Belf-SUrtingr Device on 1912 Model Weighs Only Four Pounds. iJOT AFFECTED BY THE COLD tier Smith Now Haa a, 191" Had 3.'l Drmomlrttor on the f Floor and It la Betas; Showm to Proapectlre Br"i. The thing most wanted toy the auto tnoblle buyer on the car he purchase Is a self starter. It Is the up-to-date equip ment. The Hudson 83, 1912. Is regularly quipped with a self-starter that works. It Is the most talked about topic of today In connection with automobiles. Every body Is wanting a self-starter. They can get It on a Hudson 33. The Hudson Motor Car company has tested the starter on Its "S3" car In very conceivable manner, and It works perfectly. That is the one big point It works. Electric starters weigh from 160 to 175 pounds (that adds weight to your car in excess to ltsown weight.) The Disco self-starter, used on the Hudson, Weighs just four pounds. Compressed air tarters are operated from the exhaust of the motor and the motor must be driven at speed or under load in order to obtain air pressure sufficient to fill the tank, so that it will turn over the motor. The most claimed for any starter is that It will turn the motor over thirty times. For an electric starter a full battery will no little better. With the Disco starter on the Hudson the motor has been started 3,000 times. If you figure that down to a point of average. the Disco will start your car for three years. riaccd in Cold Storage. Cold weather makes no difference with this starter, consequently hot weather would have no effect on it. The Hudson company put a Hudson car equipped with this starter into cold storage and left the machine for one week. Taking a com tnlttee of reputable business men the car was inspected in the cold starge house: Frost covered the body and metal parts. Ice was formed on the carburetor. In the presence of these men the motor was started at the slightest operation of the starter. The self-starter that Is used on the Hudson ia not an experiment. It has been tested thoroughly and has stood the test and coma out a sure winner, It starts the motor without cranking. All Hudson "33," 1912 cars, now out. are to be furnished with self-starters at i &o charge. ; Guy L. Smith, the Hudson dealer, is ery enthusiastic over the Hudson car Vith its self-starter, and full equipment; elllng at $1,600 f. o. b. at the factory The man buying an automobile in the future will demand on hla car a aelf tarter. Mr. Smith has the 1912 Hudson "3T demonstrator on hU sales floor now. He ays hla allotment of cars is closing out last and with the new feature of self etartlng at no extra charge he will not have enough cars to fill half his orders. He has, already doubled his first con tract. The factory has Informed him that hat they will be unable to furnish him extra cars in addition to his allotment Remember the 2,000 orders unfilled held ever from 191L . The outlook is mighty ijooa ior an otner Hudson year. through the mountain so as to make this water available which finally ted to the combined development of a water system and a power plant, so that in this rase necessity was once more the mother of Invention. The contractor who undertook to build the tunnel found himself faced Ith debt and then besought Colorado Springs for a franchise for the generation of power with the water which was to come through the tunnel. Finally the city granted the franchise, provided there was to be no pollution or waste of water, and the tunnel was built, though the original contractor was succeeded by the present company before the plant was completed. The chief Interest In the plant Is due to the enormous pressure of the water.

Through this ulna the water which Is used to lie-fit the to operate the street railways, to print the In at tain long 'g run city : ths newspapers, and perform various other tasks before it Is finally used for th ordinary purposes of the average muni- npai water system. Borne years ago Colorado Springs found Itself running snort of water and that the water right on the east side of Pike's Peak had all been taken up. although on thm waat n the mountain untold amounts of water were going to waste. It was ths great difficulty and expense of tunneling water in the pressure pipe has a head of 2.417 feet at the wheels, giving a pres sure of !M0 pounds to thn square Inch. Some ldt-a of the tremendous force or this stream may be gained when It Is borne In mind that the ordinary pressure in fire hone would easily knock a man down, but not so a stream from this pipe. It would simply cut a hole through him. The pipe Itself Is 4,775 feet long and twenty-one Inches In diameter, giving an effective diameter of about twenty Inches after making deductions for the retarda tion caused by rivet heads. It Is con structed of three-quarter Inch plates of steel, rolled Into tubular form. Knrh section of pipe was tested to a pressure of 1,000 pounds to the Inch before it loft the factory, Thn rivets were driven by a too-ton hydraulic press. One of the greatest difficulties encountered In manu facturing the pipe was that of preventing leaky Joints. The preosure Is so great that a pinhole leak would soon wear away the edges of the break and wreck the pipe. It was necessary, therefore, to pack the Joints so that leakier could not occur. It was originally Intended to make the gasket of lead, but It was found that the pressure was too great, the lead pressing out to a thin film which was of no value" whatever. After weeks of ex perimenting, an alloy of lead and tin was found which served the purpose. In va rious ways It has been necessary to mod ify and lessen the pressure of tho water in order to prevent It from bursting the pipe Hue or from wrecking the plant. Technical World MKlne. HE'S A HANDLESS TEAMSTER Mllh Two ii in pa nf Irmi Thla Man Drives and Wlelda Coal .hovel. Alton, III., has a teamster without hands mho loads and unloads his .wagon. Ills name Is Charles Sunderland. Ho la called Alton's most wonderful man. Sunderland Is considered a marvel. He works every day. Ills left arm Is severed below the elbow and the right between the elbow and the shoulder. Sunderland practiced driving a team until he became an expert. He twines the reins around the stumps of his arms and controls his horses. Rut lontling and umntfltng coal Is a now feat for the hnndlesn teamster, which he mastered this winter. With the stumps of his arms he trows big lumps of coal Into the wagon. Ry placing one stump In the handle of the shovel and puMiIng with his shoulder, then raising the shovel with the other stump, he nhoels coal. Sunderland says It taxes him about fif teen minutes longer to load his wagon with coal from a car than It does a man with hands, and a little longer to unload It. Rut his expertness In driving makes up for this, and he hauls as much In a day as other drivers. Sunderland curries his horses, hsr nesses them and Is his own stahle boy He Is prosperous, has a family and han dles his business as carefully as he han dles his team. Sunderland Inst his firms In a molasses mill when he was a boy. He has a family and owns his own home In Alton.

You make a mistake if you buy any car not now equipped with a Self" Starter and Demountable rims. You get these features on the HUDSON "33" now. The price complete is less than was charged for last year's model. Practically every self-starter thus far produced has been thoroughly tested by Howard E. Coffin and his Board of Engineers. The one you will see here is the only one the industry's first designer would ap prove for use on the HUDSON "33." s It proved to be the most reliable of all the many inventions of the many types that were examined. In thousands of tests it started the motor 98 percent of the times by the mere turning of a valve and the pressure of a button. This is much better than was the showing of any other self-starter tried N The HUDSON "33" was left for a week in a cold storage room. The temperature Was below freezing but the motor instantly responded to the operation of the starter. This means the end of the one objection that has been made against gasoline motors. The danger of cranking is over. , The superiority of this above all other starters is its absolute surety to give a per- feet mixture, not affected by any temperature. There is nothing complicated it has only a dozen parts. It is not heavy the weight is less than four pounds. In thousands of tests it started the motor 98 of the time. ' Next yearall leading " automobiles are bound to be equipped Awith self starters. - Why not have such an equipment on the car you buy now? If you don't yours will be out of date next season. Sooner or later only the old models will be cranked from the front. It will seem odd then to see a man start his car that way. Think of the satisfaction you will have now with this feature of the HUDSON "33." You will confidently seat yourself at the wheel and in response to a simple opera tion the motor will start. ' It will attract the admiration and envy of every automobile owner whose car must be started in the old way by cranking. It is another feature of exclusive distinction, quite as gratifying as is the pleasure that all HUDSON owners derive from the fact that they can glide silently up to the curb without attracting the attention of those near by so quiet is the car's operation. Compare this with the noise and alarm created by other cars. The self-starter on the HUDSON "33" removes the last objection women have to , driving a gasoline car.' Demountable Rims Also Necessary About the hardest, most 'disagreeable work about an automobile and it usually comes in the most inconvenient places is changing tires. Not so when you have Demountable rims. The extra inflated tire can be substituted in a few minutes for a flat tire. There is no labor-nothing is difficult. There is no do lay. No other type of tire rim will be acceptable on any dependable car in the future. Why accept a car that hasn't this equipment now! It makes your automobiling so much more satisfactory. It will make your car so much more salable if ever you wish to dis pose of it. Still Greater Reasons For It's Being a HUDSON But there are still other reasons more vital why you should prefer a HUDSON "33." The item of simplicity is important. There are 900 fewer parts than are used on the average automobile. Compare the chassis with the chassis of other cars. Note the absolute accessibility of the HUDSON "33." See how clean and free it is from rods, springs and intricate connections. czrss. SL Ws. Ti in iin i i O. I I iiwMumtmmMa',,--" ' wiltL Unless you are a judge of automobile values you may not fully understand that accessibility means low cost of up-kecp. If vital parts are placed out of easy access by the intricacies of design and construction, it means just that much extra trouble in making adjustments and repairs. No car is quieter in operation. That comes from perfect design. It remains quiet through months of service. That is due to good workmanship. There is all the power you need for the hills that any automobile will make all the flexibility required for any traffic conditions and a smooth, vibrationless operation similar to that experienced in most automobiles only when they are coasting down hill. You can appreciate these conditions only by test. You must ride in cars of differ ent makes and in the HUDSON "33" to understand what this means. Costs Us $152 More Costs You Less Instead taf reducing manufacturing costs, we have added $152 for better materials and finer workmanship. Yet the 1912 car sells for less than did the '11 of similar model and equipment. Thousands paid $1500 for the 1911 HUDSON with fore-doors, top, magneto and Prest-O-Lite tank. Almost as many more had their cars equipped with 34x4-inch tires, with Demountable rims and glass windshield. This brought the price up to $1630. The character of the equipment is much superior to and more luxurious than that used last year. Lamps cost us a great deal more. Upholstering this year costs $14.1 1 more per car. One set of bearings amounts to $7.35 more than did the bearings used for, the same purpose last year. It takes three days longer to paint the bodies. Labor charges per car exceed last year by $35.65. We built the best car then at the price. But we have progressed. Our men have greater skill. Many new refinements have been developed. They all make for a better car for longer service for completeness. They costJus more, but with all included, the car to you is less than was the 1911 model with fore-door and similar equipment. Don't you think it wiser to buy a car in which quality advancement has been made rather than to choose an automobile that has been not increased in value? Think also of the disadvantage of owning a car designed after the practice of three years ago. Engineers have advanced far. The ideals of that day are practically obso lete now. The HUDSON "33" is the one advanced car of the past three years. Other Great Engineers Also Helped The 1912 HUDSON "33" is the product of Mr. Coffin, plus the assistance of the staff of most experienced and largest number of engineers employed by any one manu facturer. Each a specialist has had experience that the others have not had. Each knows something the others do not know. These men spent months with the 1911 car. Then Mr. Coffin received their criticisms and recommendations. AH was weighed against the combined experience and ingenuity of all members of the staff. Can you imagine a more complete development? Nothing basic was changed. But still the '12 is different. It is the finished product of many men the ablest in the industry. - Don't you think it better to see the HUDSON "33" NOW?
