L 37 PROVES ITS WORTH BY SERVICE
The motor car industry is unique in that even the young men who have been connected with it, have seen it emerge from its first feeble beginnings to its present gigantic proportions. The only industry with which it might be compared today is that of the motion picture manufacturers. However, the auto business was started and still remains, to a great extent in the hands of the young men of the nation. The idea of standardization, making quantity production possible was the outcome of experiments in car building by a young man.
And when it comes to keeping a car running thru fair weather and foul, the palm must go to a desert rat who lives way down under the shadow of the Chuckawalla mountains on the edge of the Puden desert. It wouldn't be safe to mention his name, for he is decidedly touchy about his car and the way it runs. Anyway, here is the story:
Way back in 1914 a certain well known sportsman of Anaheim purchased a Hudson 37. This car was a four-cylinder touring car and the pride of the Hudson factory. He drove it over every inch of the southwest for two years. In fact he was such a familiar figure on the desert trails that first he, and then his car became known as the "Sand-burner." That ought to be enough to identify him with these men who haunted the waste places before the war.
After two years of this kind of service, the car was traded in for a new Hudson, and before the "Sand-burne II" had a chance to establish a reputation, its owner was over in France engaged in a different kind of sport.
At the time the original car was turned in, its speedometer registered 54,000 miles. The other day, this same sportsman bought one of the new Hudson speedsters. While he was waiting for the final touches to be put on it before driving it away, an old Hudson 37 drove into the garage.
Yes, you guessed it.
It was the original old "Sand-burner," very much battered but it was still in the game, and still engaged in covering that great expanse of burnt-out mountain country and blistering desert. The speedometer had long since ceased.
BUICK GIVEN HONOR POSITION AT SHOW
William Goodrum, local agent for the Buick auto, has just received notice that the Buick has been awarded the first choice for space at both New York and Chicago auto shows. This honor has been held for a number of years by the Buick, the award being made to the car showing the greatest number of sales during the year. This is in the nature of an official certificate that the Buick leads in volume of business.
Mr. Goodrum has just received a shipment of closed cars, and in anticipation of the weather which we may expect after the delightful fall, there is no doubt there will be a great demand for this style of car.

turned in, its speedometer registered 54,000 miles. The other day, this same sportsman bought one of the new Hudson speedsters. While he was waiting for the final touches to be put on it before driving it away, an old Hudson 37 drove into the garage.
Yes, you guessed it.
It was the original old "Sand-burner," very much battered but it was still in the game, and still engaged in covering that great expanse of burnt-out mountain country and blistering desert. The speedometer had long since ceased to function, the last vestige of paint had departed and the top was more sketchy than anything else. But that car was sold to its present owner on its reputation.
He had seen it many times when in the possession of the first owner. He wanted one like it and when he found the model was all but obsolete he went to the used car department to look for a model 37. He found it—the same car he had so admired.
DEMAND GROWS FOR ENCLOSED MOTORS
Enclosed cars have become decidedly popular in Southern California, where for many years there was no demand except for open type roadsters and touring cars. The greater comfort in all kinds of weather that is afforded in car that can be completely enclosed in glass windows or opened to whatever degree is found necessary for coolness or ventilation is responsible for this change, according to Harry D. Riley, local distributor of the Studebaker line.
Closed cars used to cost far more in proportion to open type models than they do at present. This is due to the increased percentage of closed models turned out at present for quantity production always tends to reduce costs. A closed car can be purchased today at about the same price as a similar sized touring car could be bought five or six years ago of the same quality.
Business men have learned that greater efficiency of their salesmen and executives comes with added comfort of travel. They are not only buying better cars for their traveling men but are buying far more closed cars than ever before. They have also found that it pays to own two cars when they have to use motor cars for transportation themselves as it leaves the touring car for the family while they go about their business errands in a coupe roadster, safely, comfortably and economically.
What they save in difference of operating cost between a light six coupe and a large touring car more than offsets the added investment and does not deprive either the family or the head of it from the use of a motor car when needed.

It has been a long time since Studebaker dealers were able to get an appreciable number of closed cars at this time of year for production came earlier this year and in greater volume so that on many models of coupes and sedans immediate delivery can be made. Buying of these models has been greater this summer than ever and the warm weather of the past few weeks has showed no effects on sales whatever.

PREMIER'S SLAYER PROUD OF DEED
TOKIO, Nov. 5 — "I did this for the welfare of Japan," was the declaration today of Nakaoka, Japanese youth arrested for the assassination of Premier Hara yesterday.
"I killed him because of what I read about him in the newspapers." Nakaoka told the United Press in the jail here.
Nakaoka maintained a bold front and showed no repentance for what he had done.
He said he had no regret and held himself a martyr and a benefactor of Japan.
Nakaoka is of the type of poor student often seen in Japan. He was of good family but was forced to leave school to earn a living. He was known as an omnivorous reader and had soaked in the criticism of Premier Hara published in the papers bitterly opposed to the premier.
POSTAL MEN TOLD TO SHOOT TO KILL
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 5 — On orders by Postmaster P. J. O'Brien as a result of the robbery of a mail truck Thursday night, every post-office guard and driver was heavily armed today while on duty, whether actually in charge of registered mail or not.
The postmaster issued forceful orders on the subject when an investigation showed Nelson R. Grimes, the driver who was held up, was not armed at the time and he and other drivers had not been arming themselves unless they carried consignments of registered mail.
The new orders declare postal employees in charge of mail trucks must shoot to kill if confronted by bandits.
In most other countries they wear heavy clothes in winter. But then the American girl is very hardy.

THEY SHOULD WORRY OVER COAL SHORTAGE
BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 5. — A coal shortage can cause the cook and the railroad company or the factory some worry, but a good many Boise citizens do not have to worry about heating their homes, coal or no coal.
