remarkable that the Jewish type is

in those parts of Spain which have
large Jewish communities, especially
Andsalusia and Catalonia. Never can
one see in Europe such beautiful types
of women with their wonderful eyes,
natural elegance, and most attractive
elasticity and dignity as are to be
found in Seville and Granada.
Up to sixty or seventy years ago
there were no Jews living in Spain.
About J860, owing to the war in 'Mo-
rocco, several Jewish families settled
in Seville and they formed a little
community there with a synagogue.
This was the first community in Spain
since the expulsion. Unfortunately,
during the recent war, several of these
families went to Morocco for busi-
ness purposes, the communal Site in
Seville was temporarily interrupted.
A community on a larger scale has
lately been founded in Barcelona, and
this promises to be the,most import-
ant one in Spain. Almost all the
Jewish war refugees who came to
Spain settled in Barcelona. Although
it is possible that after conditions be-
come settled several of the refugees
will leave Spain, the communities will
still flourish.—Jewish Daily News.

The Super-Six Motor Gives
Hudson Its Endurance

It Is a Patented Principle Invented by Hudson Which
Reduces Vibration and Adds 72 % to Motor Power

Hudson records for endurance stand unmatched
because of its exclusively used and patented Super
Six motor.

WOLVERINE MAKERS
INCREASE CAPITAL

At a recent meeting of the stock-
holders of the American Commercial
Car Co., an increase of the capital
stock from $250,000 to $1,000000 was
authorized. The company has been
manufacturing the Wolverine II; and

now in use throughout the United
States. It is also being used by the

That same principle is also responsible for Hud-
son being the largest selling fine car in the world.

No other car can have the Super-Six motor with-
out Hudson's consent, because Hudson invented and
patented it.

It Prevents Motor

Self-Destruction

Motor vibration is minimized by the Super-Six
patented inrinciple. It accounts in part Hudson's
smooth riding and for its endurance.

It also increases the useful power of the motor by

72`,%(.' , .

Thus with a comparatively small motor, the Hud-
son Super-Six has established endurance, speed and
mountain climbing records never equalled by any
other stock car.

Just See What

It Has Done

A Hudson Super-Six stock car three years ago
officially established the fastest time for one hour
and for 100 miles. A stock chassis made the fastest
mile at the rate of 102 1 /2 miles an hour. Those rec-
ords stand unmatched.

The same stock chassis was driven by one man
1819 miles in 24 hours.

HENRY C. WIEDEMAN.

United States Government as well as
in foreign countries. The compithy
owns a large manufacturing plant
comprising five acres on Gratiot ave-
nue and the Detroit Terminal Rail-
road, which is well equipped for mak-
ing motor trucks and equipment there-
fore.
The officers of the company are:
Henry C. Wieileman, president and
general manager; Fred Kahl. vice-
president; George P. Good, secretary;
Harry A. Otto. treasurer; Gustav A.
Mueller, Adam Klein, Joseph A.

man, August J. Stieber, Alexander

President Wiedeman is one of the
founders of the Federal State Bank of
this city, now the Commonwealth-Fed-
eral Savings Bank, and one of the di-
rectors of that institution. He has
also been connected with the up-build-
ing of other financial and manufactur-
ing concerns and is classed among the
progressive manufacturers of this city.

The Super-Six has contested on the speedway and
in the most famous road races with specially built
racing cars. Changes were made to fit it for racing,
but the principle by which pibration is minimized
in every Hudson accounts for its winning in more
championship events than any car raced at the time.

Because of its endurance, Hudsons are entered and
make notable showings in every imnortant automo-
bile race. They belong to race drivers whose only
interest is in a car that will win prizes. We have

nothing to do with their entries. They for the most
part, buy standard Hudson Super Six cars and make
such changes in them as they believe will best fit
them for racing.

You, Too, Want That

Endurance

Our purpose for trying the Super-Six in the tests
which made it famous, was not so much to win rec-
ords as to establish the limits of its endurance.

Each harder test was a step up in the trials, think-
ing it would show just how far the Super-Six could
be pushed before tearing itself to pieces. But no test
has yet proved that. Not even did the trans-conti-
nental run from San Franc sco to New York develop
its endurance limits. In fact, the seven passenger
touring car although haping made the run in 14
hours less time than any car befo4e or since has made.
it. was turned back and completed the round trip in
10 days and 21 hours.

But a thing those tests did help in doing was to
bring the Hudson up to the standard of the Super-
Six motor.

Such a motor required better car design, better
axles, better qualities and higiler standard;, than
were needed with the usual type. It resulted, finally,
in the present Hudson Super-Six.

60,000 Owners

Also Helped

Present models also show how owners of 60,000
earlier models have helped develop the Hudson.

There are close to 10,000 of the present type now
in service. Note how, though not materially dif-
ferent, they reflect the fineness and smoothness that
is possible through such experience.

It explains why Hudsons have been for four years
the largest selling fine car.

It shows why it is important to reserve your Hud-
son in advance of your actual need for it. Thousands
of buyers have waited months to get the Hudson of
their choice.
