Iowa PubEshers Adopt
. Stringent Measures to
Save Newsprint Paper
Des Moines, la., Dec. 27. Reso
lutions to adopt measures conserving
newsprint paper 'in Iowa, were ac
cepted at a meeting of representa
tives of most of the daily news
papers of the state. The limiting
of the number of pages ptr issue,
the saving of 10 per cent of the
paper scheduled for newspapers, dis
couraging" of any schedules to in
crease circulation or advertising
space are advocated. .
The publishers declared it to be
their view that unless steps are
taken soon to save paper some of
the smaller publications will be
forced to suspend. The situation
is serious because less caper has
been produced than the papers pi
Canada and the United States have
used in the last three months, and
there is now, less than five days'
supply on hand, the publishers were
told. ; ' '

The
Hudson Suner-Six Motor
Almost Doubles Efficiency
It Adds 72 to Power, Without More Weight and
Increases Efficiency to 80. . It is Exclusive to Hudson
The Huston Super-Six has proved master
of all stock cars in speed, power, endurance.
'. Will you accept a lesser car?
'Disregard mere claims,
facts? '
What are the
The Hudsoa made the fastest stock car
mile at the rate of 102 miles per hour. ' One
car in various official tests ran 3,800 miles,
averaging 80 miles an hour. ' It won the
Pike's Peak contest, the world's classic hill
climb test In continuous journey it crossed
and recrossed the continent, a distance of
7,000 miles, in 10 days, 21 hours, a feat never
performed by another car.
By sheer' endurance it time after- time
defeated the world's fastest racing cars, in
championship speedway races. It holds all
' the important acceleration records.
Belongs Exclusively -to
Hudson
We could expect no less than complete
performance supremacy for the Hudson
Super-Six. Its type gives it every advantage.
The Super-Six motor, through its exclusive'
patented principle, delivers 76 horsepower
from the same size motor that in standard
types delivers 42 horsepower at the ufmost
limit. ; - , '
Thus it is the most powerful for its size
.in the world. It is the swiftest, the most en
during, quickest in acceleration, the most de
pendable hill-climber. - y
Its proofs are in official tests where all
may verify them. If any disputes Hudson
supremacy, it is not in official testsJ
True you do not need such great speed
as Hudson's. You may never meet an obstacle
to test its power limits. '
But they mean in ordinary driving you
run the Super-Six at half load. In perform
ance at which lesser . cars strain, with per
manent bad results to the mechanism, the
Hudson is easily within its reserve of speed
and power.
For Five Years' It Has
I Led Them 'All
It is one of the reasons that 80,000 own
ers know the Hudson above all as an endur
ance car. v
Because of what it has shown, not only
in official tests, but in the service Of all these
owners, the Hudson Super-Six has for nearly
five years been, the largest selling fine car in
the world. , ,
The supply has never been sufficient for
the demand. That often means waiting for
" certain wanted models. You will avoid dis
appointment, by placing your Hudson order,
well ahead of- the desired delivery date.

Two Arrests Hade.'
George Alexander, 2532 Franklin
street, was arrested yesteidsy at
his home by Detectives Dolan and
Hagerman. He was identified by
Mrs. Henry, Wilson, 1818 North
Twentieth street, and Sam Christian
sen, 931 North Twenty-seventh
street, and Mrs. Emma Lawson, his
housekeeper, as one of three men
who forced entrances to their homes
and beat them. Alexander was ar
raigned in central police court and
bound over to district court under
$5,000 bonds. He is charged with
assault and robbery.
Harry Halstead, 1504 Burt street,
,was arrested last night and, accord
ing to the police, positively identi
fied as one of the men who accom
panied Alexander. - '
Mrs. Wilson was the first vic
tim of the two highwaymen, who are
believed, to have beaten the other
two persons, according to accurate
description of the assailants by all
three victims. While home alone at
7 Friday night Mrs. Wilson an
swered a knock at the back door,
Two unmasked men rushed into the
kitchen. One of the men threw a pail
of water in her face and knocked h r
to the floor. He then kicked her,
and in gruff tones warned her not
to scream. While the other desper
ado went through the house in
search of valuables, his, partner
stood over Mrs. Wilson with a re
volver in his hand.
Turn Out Lights. '
,Both men left the house after
turning out the lights. Mrs. Wil
son was able to call police. , She
suffered bruises about the face and
body at the hands of the robbers.
A police surgeon attended her.
A diamond ring, which had been
given to Mrs. Wilson as a Christ
mas gift by her husband, was taken.
The robbers also took $10 which
they found on a bureau in an up
stairs room.
Mr. Christiansen and Mrs. Lawson
were attacked and beaten in their
homes by two robbers at 4:30 yes
terday morning. From Mrs. Lawson
the desperadoes obtained a watch,
bracelet, a dinner ring and $30. They
took threa rings, two watches, a
revolver and $20 from Mr. Chris
tiansen's room.
Struck Over Head.
When he answered a summons to
the rear door of his home, he en
countered two roughly dressed men.
One of them pushed his way into
the house. The other struck Mr.
Christiansen a blow on the head
With the butt of a gun. Mr. Chris
tiansen fell. Awakened by the com
motion in the house, Mrs. Lawson
entered the kitchen only to feel the
muzzle of, a gun at her side.
"Be quiet," one of the robbers
warned her. When Mrs. Lawson
sought to escape into another room
the bandit struck her. The bandit's
accomplice ransacked the house.
After both robberi left the house
Mrs. Lawson telephoned to police.
Detectives scoured the neighbor
hood in vain. A police surgeon at
tended Mr. Christiansen's injuries.
The same two robbers are believed
to have held up and robbed Frank
Clark, Twenty-seventh and Caldwell
streets, directly under the arc light
at Twenty-fourth and Decatur
streets late Friday night. Clark was
relieved of $2.50 and a gold watch.'
One of the highwaymen held a gun
on him while an accomplice went
through ,his pockets.
Descriptions of the highwaymen
tally with those of the two assail
ants of Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Lawson
and Mr. Christiansen.
A suitcase, a diamond ring, re
volver, and odd articles of jewelry
that were stolen by burglars in

accomplished by them" to request
that the award to him of a navy
cross be canceled.
Admiral Mayo declared it was ev
ident there had been "a miscon
ception", in considering recommen
dations for decorations he made as
commander of the fleet, many of
which, he added, were not carried
out. The letter notes that no mem
ber of Admiral Mayo's staff received
a decoration except his chief of
staff and asserts that an admiral's
success rests to a large extent uron
the "loyalty, initiative and effici
ency" of his staff personnel."
Failure to recognize adequately
the, service of men on such duty,
it said, "creates an Impression that
such duty is of minor importance"
not comparable to command of a
single ship. Such an impression, it
said, "would be' fatal to the devel
opement of the navy as a fighting
machine." v
Mayo Renews Recommendations.
Admiral Mayo renewed his recom
mendations and urged that recon
sideration be . given meritorious
cases.
Admiral Decker's letter notes that
he had been awarded a navy cross
under the published list in recogni
tion of his services as naval attache
at Madrid. ,
"In .nvy opinion,! it says, "this
award is entirely inadequate to the
services that were performed by the
office of the naval attache and those

marine activities off the coast of
Spain. ' " While it may be
impossible to prove that the work
done did produce the results
claimed, I have been assured that
this is the case."
The letter commends the services
of F. J. Marion, W. A. Chadburn
and Mr. Howell, who were associ
ated with the writer, and .declares
Admiral Decker cannot permit them
"to be taken so lightly."
"If my estimate is correct," it con
tinued, "my services and the serv
ices of those who worked with me,
in spite of the opposition of the am
bassador, is certainly greater than
the work done by any single battle
ship in the war or by any official
stationed on shore duty .in an ad
ministrative capacity." ,
Captain Hasbrouck's letter is a
terse endorsement of Admiral Sims'
position, stating that the writer has
"a higher regard for Admiral Sims'
views on matters affecting the mo
rale of the naval service than those
of any other officer." It was be
