"Cheering our homesick boys and assuring them there will be a few good jobs left by the time they get home it's the biggest job I ever had,' writes Miss Agnes Mathiesen, Omaha girl in Red Cross canteen work in the Gare du Nord, Paris. She was with the Foster-Barker Co., before sailing abroad. "Those who have beeti here long est complain that the best jobs and all the home-coming receptions -will he grabbed by men who never saw the battle-front. But when you have fed them well and talked with them awhile they usually go away with transformed faces. Sometimes it is really amusing how little it takes to make them change their attitude." "It's Jike pulling hen's teeth for a Red Gross worker to get to the front, but the Omaha girl managed a trip ti Soisson. Car Broke Down. "We did see things never imag ined they could be like that way. En route our car broke down so we had to walk 12 miles to Soisson, the sad part of it being, it rained most of the way and was very, very muddy. We walked around many dugouts, shell holes and jumped over yards of trenches and wire en tanglements. The boys must have lived like rats here. I can hardly believe that some stood it for four fyears. Everywhere we found graves. sometimes only one , little white cross, but most places several, with the- U. S. A., French and German colors floating from the cross "At Chavigny not a living thing can be found. Every building there is a mass of ruins. At Soisson some families are returning. 'Some have boarded up a small shack and have picked up enough courage to start a home again. On the outskirts of this little city we found an aged woman living in a small room in the corner of a real large building. Her windows were boarded up and she was gathering wood.

"The city itself is practically wiped out. Street after street is nothing but ruin," he writes.' "We first visited the four great underground" citiadels, which have a capacity of 50,000 men. "There are picture shows, can teens, reading rooms and bathing rooms, besides dozens of immense galleries, with cots placed- on either side of the hall to serve as sleeping quarters for the soldiers. There is a long passage with private com partments for the officers in each of these underground fortresses."

I You may recall thit iltattration at being one nted two ytart ago with Hudson Super-Six trial on the speedway i What the Speedway Proved Then 60,000 Hudson Super-Sixes Now Confirm Speedway and cross continent tests were used to reveal the endurance of Hudsons, vhen the Super Six was a new car. The records made then, such as the great Pike's Peak Hill Climb up the world's highest roadway the 24-hour record of 1819 miles the unmatched round trip trans-continental run between San Francisco and New York in 10 days, 21 hours are memorable milestones in automobile history.

New advancements in refinements have been made as the Hudson Super-Six has grown in favor.

Its position is more firmly entrenched today than ever. Every new car, every new model, that has come out since the 4 Super-Six made its debut has been a silent tribute to Hudson leadership. I The Shows Reveal That Leadership Among fine cars that are ever powerful and equal to every emergency, the Hudson Super-Six holds undisputed leadership, as every automobile show this year has proved. Its refinements, both mechan ically and in appointment, msjk the latest develop ments. Its supreme leadership is still shown by the activity of its sales, exceeding that of any other fine car.
