t
. Washington, Sept 27. (Special
' J Telegram.) "When German and
. Hulgariar. looters carried away the
j i rlothes of the Roumanian populace
! they did more than put a people
i .to "a temporary inconvenience; it
;'tvas as if a war Veteran were robbed

Hold to Native Dress.
"In no part of Europe do the
peasants hold so tenaciously to their
distinctive costume as in ; the up
lands of. Roumania. It is, in fact,
almost an asset in nationalism, and
its unifying influence was empha
sized some years ago by the
Dowager Queen, when she herself
put on the native dress.
"Some of the outdoor work is
almost wholly in the hands of the
women. She takes the hemp and
the flax from the seed to the fin
ished garment, and deems herself
fortunate if the husband plows the
ground for her. As the spinning
' and weaving is done by the women,
the clothing worn by the family is
tangible evidence of the taste and
industry of the women folk.
"To wear store-made clothes, un
,til recent times, was a token of in
dolence or awkwardness on the part
of the "females of the family har
'acteristics that are the butt of most
of the jo'.;es improvised by the lead-,
cr of the Sunday village dance.
All Made at Home.
"The J iost important thing about
the costume is the fact that it is

Wonderful Work of
Chinese Farmers In
Wisconsin Marshes
.Mather, Wis., Sept. 27. (Special.)
Eight hundred and seventy-five
acres of reclaimed land, territory
which , for many years was nothing
but a marshy wilderness in thJs
vicinity, are today yielding their
second rich harvest of Chinese and
Irish potatoes, cabbages, onions,
hay, grain and Chinese Vegetables,
which are shipped daily to the res
taurants of Chicago, Milwaukee, St.
Paul and ; Minneapolis. And -the
American farmers who scoffed at
the.yellovv men who came hjre from
Chicago "under the. backing of Nip
Lunsr and Tov Tuner of Chicasro are
beginning to th.ink that, after all,
the oriental may have something
ort them when it comes to tarming
land' which has hitherto been re
garded as no good. '
Only One of Kind. ,
The colony and the farm are be
lieved to be the only ones of their
kind m America. The p-oject was
the ambition of Toy Jung, a China
man, who was graduated from the
agricultural school of the University
of Wisconsin and from .Stockton,
Cal., potato fields, but he lived
barely long enough to see it well
under way. Toy Jung died last year
of the influenza and the" colony,
which was plunged into gloom over
the loss of the man who was - at
the helm, continued the work suc
cessfully, carrying out to the letter
the detailed plans of the manager.
The colony today comprises 30
Chinese who live in houses erected
for therri near the fields. ' In this
town they 'have a large residence,
at which visitors are entertained.
Women are not allowed on the
farms. None but relatives of the
workers " may be shown over the
gardens.
What are the Chinese crops they
are growing?
That is something which Ameri
cans have not been able to find out;
the Chinamen preserve their puz
zled demeanor, when' questions are
asked, pretend" not to understand,
and tell nothing. " , s
That the project is successful is
judged from the amount of farm
produce that is shipped daily -from
this station. The 1918 season, the
first one, proved a financial success,
and the lands, which had been leased
for a period of five years, were pur
chased outright by a Chicago China
man. But the second season,, just
terminating, has been even more
successful than the first.
Farmers around Mather still scoff
to some extent, but they are being
converted. Some there are, even to
day, who will not concede that the
simple Chinese method of' twice
plowing the land and harrowing it
even unto the twelfth time, without
the use of fertilizer, can long re
main a' success. They insist the ad
vancing years will take "the fertility
from the soil rapidly. ' v '
Deep-Sea Fishing Is u
Simplified by Plane
"Sportsmen of , both coasts now
have tried the seaplane as a fishing
boat, and found it good. The two
New York fishermen who made the
first trip the other day started late,
but they were first on he grounds.
They passed the plodding motor
boats considered, until now, re
markably swift midway, and were
among- the schools of bluefish be
fore their astonished brother an
glers came within hailing distance.
However, the speed alone was not
the thing that established the plane
as a fishing craft par excellencebut
its ability actually to locate the fish
schools for the impatient anglers by
giving them the vision of great alti
tude. . - ..
A party of Los Angeles fishermen
found the seaplane most valuable
for the mileage it so rapidly con
sumed, for the distances are long on
the Pacific. To the kelp beds of
Santa Barbara ik 50 miles. They
made it easily and quickly, passing
smoothly above unpleasantly rough
seas and landing on the calm wafers
of the weed bars, from whose well
stocked but unfrequented pockets
they tWk as many fish as they cared
to' burden the plane with on the
homeward trip. r A
A wonderful vista T brand new
snort opens witly this, application of
the seaplane. .'' -i-
Fined For Profiteering.

Evans was fined $100. Percy Car

Largest Movie Pictures
' Set a Distance Record
Two moving picture records were
broken recently. Ah ordinary, pro
jecting machine, equipped ' wifn a
special lens, a rapid shutter and a
150-ampere light was used to throw
pictures, 100 feet by 75 feet, on a
screen 350 feet away from the ma
chine. The light employed Was three
times the strength of those com
monly used. It generated so much
heat that it was necessary to operate
the cinematograph at great speed to
prevent burning the' film. The screen
on which the pictures were thrown
was 115 feet square.

69,000 Men Rejected by Army
Asked to Communicate
With Tuberculosis
Association.
New York, Sept. 27. A request
that every, one of the 69,000 men who
were rejected fsr military service
by draft boards" because of tubercu
losis infection get in touch at once
with the nearest organization en
gaged in anti-tuberculosis work was
sent out today from the general
headquarters of the National Tu
berculosis association. The object
sought, it was said, is to bring about
a co-operation of effort that would
aid the affected men in their fight
for recovery and to prevent the
spread of the disease.. ,
100,000 Affected.
Attention was called to reports
from the surgeon general's office
that of the men of the United States
called to the colors during the world
war approximately 100,000 were
found to be affected with tubercu
losis. All the men ejected by draft
boards and practically all of those
rejected by camp surgeons were
sent home, it was stated, and it is
necessary for the conservation of
the public health that they be kept
track of and fully advised as to the
mode of life and the treatment which
will help them and protect their
families.
Follow-up systems are now being
employed by the various agencies
engaged in combating tuberculosis,
but, according to officials of the
National Tuberculosis association,
many men are hanging back and
others cannot be located. It is to
reach these two elements that the
appeal is made for cooperation.
The annual death rate from tuber
culosis in the United States, as
shown by a recent survey, is 150,000
which, it is pointed out, is a sacrifice
of twice as many lives as the
American army lost in the year in
which it was actively engaged in
the World -war. '
Emphasis is laid on assertions
that tuberculosis is not hereditary,
and that it is preventable and can
be cured. In order to reduce the
death rate the public is asked to as
sure the success of an extensive
campaign against the disease by
buying Red Cross Christmas seals
liberally during the drive, beginning
December 1, when seals to the
value of more than, $6,500,000 will be
offered for sale throughout the
country. . '.
Barkeeps Responsible
.For Sale of Whisky
Boston, Sept. 27. Boston saloon
keepers "should worry" if their bar
tenders surreptitiously sell some real
red licker to patrons who tire of the
2.75 per cent brew. United States
Commissioner William A. Hayes has
ruled that if such sales are con
summated while the proprietor is
not around only the knights of the
white apron can be held account

The Hudson Has a
Patented Motor
The Super-Six is Its Own Creation and No Other Maker Can
Use It Adds 72 to Power and Accounts for Hudson Endurance
Everyone knows the Hudson Super-Six and
what it has done in winning all worth while
records for speed, acceleration, mountain climb
" ing and endurance, ' ,
But many have . overlooked the fact that,
those records were made possible because of the
Super-Six motor, invented and patented by
Hudson.
The first Super-Six quality to attract atten
tion was its power, a 72 increase without
added weight or cylinders.
But rivals when they saw that, said it could
not be relied upon to give long service.
Let Us See What
It Did
The makers did not know the full endurance
limit of the Super-Six motor. For that matter
they don't even now know its limit, although it
has been put to longer, harder tests than is ever
asked of an automobile, even in the most famous -long
distance races.
This was shown in the 500-mile Indianapolis
race last , May, for while faster cars' were .en
tered, the privately owned and raced Super-
Sixes showed a continuous performance of un
rivaled endurance.
The first Super-Six endurance run was made
when a stock touring car, carrying driver and
passenger, was driven at top speeH for one
hour, and officially established the record. Then
that same car was pushed to greater tests by
driving it with five passengers and with top
and windshield up, 100 miles at 70.74 miles per
hour, also making a new official record.
That failing to reveal its endurance, a stock
Super-Six chassis was driven by one man 1,819
miles in 24 hours. The best previous record,
made by a specially built racer, was 327 miles
short of the distance covered by the Hudson.
f Then the run from San Francisco to New
j York was made. , It lowered the best previous
time by more than 14 hours. And to give fur
ther evidence of its endurance, the car was
turned back and reached San Francisco 10 days
and 21 hours after leaving there on 7,000 miles
of the hardest driving ever 'made to establish,
motor car endurance. The Return trip, too, was
made in shorter time than any other car has
ever done it. "
And 60,000 Users Added ,
Their Experience
That is the number of Super-Sixes in u&e at
the time the present model was announced.
Every test and every report of owners served at
a help in making a better Hudson. A
, The patented Super-Six motor called for a
car that in every detail matched its quality. New
standards were made necessary. Each year has
seen a nearer approach to the ideal.
Mechanical perfection was not all that Hud
son engineers aimed it. They sought to make
the Hudson complete in every detail of con
venience, beauty and comfort.
For Four Years the Largest 1
Selling Fine Car
Merit is reflected in the way in which th
public views the Super-Six.
For four years it has been the largest selling
fine car. It is known in every community and
. on every highway. Present deliveries exceed 100
Hudsons a day. Factory production was never
so great and we were never so far behind orders.
Men have long known that to get a Hudson it it
necessary to make reservations in advance. Oft
some models and in some seasons thousandt
have waited a month or more. '
But They Know It Was
Worth Waiting For
No man can drive a Hudson without feeling
a growing respect for it It grows out of th
same endurance the car has revealed in all thoso
tests made when the Super-Six was new. They
know the real meaning of motor satisfaction.
Their needs are fulfilled, s ' .
If you plan to get a Hudson next year,, now
is not too early to speak for it. Think of the
thousands disappointed this year. " , '
