film Will Explain
Operation of Auto
Storage Battery
Volumes have been written to ex
plain to the motorist the operation
of the automobile storage battery,
but it still remains a mystery to
many car owners.
.The Prest-O-Lite company has
produced a film, "The Electric
Heart," telling the story of the stor
age battery from the mining of the
, material to the installation on the
car. It shows the various manu
facturing processes and vividly il
lustrates the actual operation of the
battery, the "juice" originating in
the plates, passing to the terminals
and preparing the "kick" that spins
the motor.

ly company, local distributors' of
the Prest-O-Lite company, assisted
the industrial department of the Y.

of the film at the Y. M. C. A.,

Chicago Bomber
Makes Confession
Chicago, May 1. A sensational
confession was obtained today by
Chief Fitzniorris from Andrew Kerr,
believed to be. the leader of the gang
of bombers in Chicago responsible
for the vandalism in many of the re
cent labor troubles and wage wars.
The laundry engineers' strike, jani
tors' strike and other disputes have
been marked by bombings and the
wanton destruction of property, and
a reign of terror has ensued while
the perpetrators of these crimes have
apparently enjoyed immunity.
Kerr is one of nine men arrested
in connection with these outrages.
Kerr, in one of the most amazing,
statements ever given Jo the police,
divulges the names and places in
connection with each bombing out
rage and the list is unimpressive one.
From $00 to $100, he says, was
paid for an ordinary slugging job.
A first-class bombing job came high
er and cost the union business agents
from $200 to $400.
His statement was carefully writ
ten out, signed aitd dated May 19.
He named a dozen men who had
been prominently identified, either
as the perpretrators or as the instiga
tors of slugging and bombings that
marked thr strike. The amount of
detail he gives makes the story con
vincing, according to the chirf. He

HUDSON
Offers these Important Qualities
Special Notice to Fine Car Buyers
Hudson beauty is prized by all
owners. It even dictates the choice
of many. But to most who know
Hudson its chief charm must always
be quietness of action and ease of
control. w.v-.v..-
So smooth the response to throttle
and wheel there seems no mechanical
intervention between the driver's will
and 'its accurate execution by the .
Super-Six. .
What the Old
Hudson Tell
' Every day you see Hudspns two
and three years old which in both
performance and style might we'll be
judged of recent production.
Hudson design lias never been
guided by caprice. It has never re
sorted to dubious extremes. It has
been too sure of what are the essen
tial permancies of beauty, dignity
and true riding comfort.
The advance ideas you will always .
find. But every idea must earn its .
right to belong. No mere straining

place for a singe feature of Hudson
design.
Thus has developed a mechanical
quality that well - nigh removes all
consciousness of motor and other
mechanism.
A New Meaning
v A In Economy
And with it has come an economy
in operation that asserts itself not
alone in low fuel cost but more par
ticularly in reduced maintenance ex
pense. Owners experience no con
cern about Hudson's readiness to
meet any requirement. Whether it
be the instant throttle response need
ed to shoot the car out of a possible
traffic jam, or the ability to go on
tour across the continent, the Super
Six in countless ways has proved its
fitness. The Super-Six motor is ex
clusive and everyone knows how it
excels. f
Best of all, these qualities are not of
today's accomplishment. They have
been notably Hudson's for five years.

Dodge Brothers have never lost sight of
the fact that dependability must be in
cluded in the purchase price of their car.
Because of its dependability, the United
States Government, officially selected this
Tear without solicitation, for the strenuous
service which the battlefields of France
demanded.
Podge Brothers will continue to build
their car so well, that it will always
be dependable and the purchase price
will be as nearly as possible the last
expenditure.
