It is the change from boisterous mischief to merry wholcsorrp play, with the appreciation of the rignts and comforts of others. "Here is an outward aspect of the! fccout movement which ha not been dlcns8ed," says James E. West. Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America. It la the phase of the in fluence of the movement that would not attract one's attention were It not for the fact that letters coming Into the. national headquarters from differ ent parts of the country bearing on this one thing." Dearing on thlsrpoint is an extract from a letter by the Tlev. T. S. Leon ard of Athena, New York, who says, "Athena is a very much safer place for women and children than before the Boy Scouts were organized. Tho boys have been trained to be on the lookout continually for any rough bully s among , the boys and In the school they are particular to look out for the little hoys and girls. They are told to stop bullying and if they get into a fight to see that they are not licked," Likewise writes C. H. Gaffin of Ft. Smith, Arkansas. "Not . long ago a teacher in our public schools came to mejand aaid: 'You ought to see what a great change has come over Kince he has joined the Boy Scouts. Previous to his entering that organ! cation he was wilful, stubborn, and carried -an air of 'don't care and Til do an 1 please'; but since he has joined the Scouts he has become more gentle manly, more refined, more tractable and more honorable' ?n the class room and on the playgrounds'."

America, ia Jacksonville, Florida, gives this in teresting experience t0 6howwhat the ..pju Scout, movement;' floes " "In the spring ot mirA Erojap'af ljpysan Springfield, Mass, caused a greal deal of annoyance by .- their depredatlqna. A. P. Irving, principal pf the, Bucking ham grammar school In Springfield, tried to get control of this gang by various methods. His efforts failed. At. last be ."decided to try the -Boy ScouV movement , He formed that wild gang Into a troop of Boy Scouts, becoming their Scout Master. TheJ boys became interested Jn scoutcraft and gave up their lawless practices." A. R Hewitt scout commissioner of Birmingham, Alabama, cites this inci dent of the change in boys after be- coming scouts. "I bad a case in de veloping , some poor. . and homeless boj-s Into scouts.

Con cerning this work, Scout Mas er Irb writes: "We have some advantages and s;m.? disadvantages. The mountains pre tear us and we find the hills of t o or three thousand feet all a round as. We have taken several hikes to the bills and one trip to the raoun ita new You must remember that at tbi? altitude the air is much lighter tbsaat sea level and one must rest c fteriea a climb than in the United States. '"Our biggest hindrance to a good time on hikes and camping trip around here Is the lack of fuel. We have no trees except a few grown in ,thc yards. The ground is nearly ber ten except for some tough grasses and cactuc plants. This lack of good fuel makes it hard to do any cooking. Wo have very little use for a hatchet. We have to do what cooking we do over grass and weeds that we can gather. Sometimes we have jolly times with our fires, especially after a rain or damp weather. After we get them going they take a lot of coaxing and blowing. Again our rare atmos phere has to be reckoned with, tor it does not contain very much oxygen, and as you know oxygen is what, makes the fire burn. We also are de nied the pleasure of the evening 'camp fre.' You boys all know the silent pleasure of a bonfire and what it is to camp life, in fact it has been called the 'Heart of the Camp.' Well, unless wc, are fortunate enough to camp where we can gather a big pile of weeds and grass, we have to forfeit that pleasure. . "Another thing tha,t you boys havo that. we do not. Is wlramtng. There are a few ponds that we have .run across, but the water In the rivers, ponds and lakes is too cold to go t wimming In. The water is so cold at this altitude that it is said that the Indians that live around Lake TIticaca rever. have known to learn e swim. Kost of jthe rlverr; are fed by. glaciers, rnd snow fields.

T7 aswer i to that oft asked question: "What will Hoivard E, Coffin do when he builds a 'Six?9 99 The "54" HUDSON is MrvCof.-n's reply to tho most frequently asked question heard since the beginning of six-cylinder talk. The car is here now. Experts w ho he ve driven the "54" through mountains,, over long tours, in both winter and summer, and Avho have observed its ideal .smoothness and flexibility, claim it o have no su perior in any automobile, regardless cf ma he cr cost. Many owners of the highest priced cars have re marked after ccamining and riding in the "54" that it s foolish for anyone to pay more fonan automo bile than it sells for, no matter what demands they have or how fastidious they may be. The surprise to all motordom is that Mr. Cofrin developed the "54" HUDSON along entirely dif ferent lines from those he had followed in designing his four-cylinder cars. He is too shrewd a designer to attempt such a departure unaided. Before starting his "Six" he built up his Board of 43 Expert Engineers. Then they all worked together for two years until every man agreed .that this was the bent he knew. . . , c Came from Everywhere 1 Gathered from everywhere, poj'vsir.n- the training and experience acquired in (j7 some of them in Europe, these men have helped to buifd more than 2GC.90O automobiles. Mr. Coffin wanted his six-cylinder to be a wonder ful car. He knows, as well as anyone knows, the limit of any one man's ability. He knows there is much in six-cylinder cars that four-cylinder exper ience has not taught. So he went after the men who had done the most as six-cylinder designers. Where One-Man Gars Fall Short No man need be told that Howard E. Coffin leads all in building four-cylinder cars. No other designer has built as many successful automobiles. But the mastery of cars cf ths four-cyilnder type is no indi cation that the man is master of the six. Many a designer has learned that to his sorrow. Six-cylinder cars have wrecked splendid reputations built up by years of four-cylinder accomplishment. Adding Two Cylinders Won't Make A Good Six Very few designers have been able to get in excess of '.)() percent increased power from their six-cylinder motors of the same bore and stroke as used in their "four." Although they have added 59 percent to the piston displacement, have practically doubled the gasoline and oil consumption, have increased the weight and have made the car more costly to operate, many sixes have failed entirely to develop that flexible smoothness for which sixes are really built. Thus is shown the shortcomings cf the one-man idea of designing. When one man dominates in the designing of an automobile, it expresses his ability and his limitations. Every man is over-developed in one way or-another. Every man is good at one thing and rot so good at other things-. - No man perfectly balanced and no machine designed by any one man can be more rounded toward perfection than canle the ability ard experience cf the man who designed it. This Not a One -Man Mir a "One-Id .a Car But with 48 men, all concentrating on one car, not much is apt to-be overlooked. No one m?.n domi nates. Each individual is a specialist in some branch cf the work at which no one cf his associates li quite his equal. Consequently the "54" HUDSON is thoroughly proportioned. It is not merely a "Six" which is made so by the addition of two cylinders to a good four cylinder car. It has power. But its power h not abnormal in proportion to its other parts. It has beauty. Bu$ no detail of its mechanical design is overlooked; It is completely equipped. rEVery detail that adds to comfort and luxury is indudecf, but this is not dona . with the idea of attracting sales or through skimping in any other direction. Each Supreme at His Work - ' Each expert is supreme in the work at which lift leads. A badly proportioned car would be impossibla under such methods of designing. Imagine the Cbm- pletcness ofa car designed under such conditions: There arc.specialists.'amogKthese.4S;mcnr somecf whom know nothing ;of motor deagmng.i Tnetrfotits is in other directions. They have been gathered from everywhere. " 'l; :'VT':'V The one-man car, no matter' who built it even though it were Howard E.

You can sense the distinction, for it is cx pressed in every Jinc in the ease of the seats, in the purr of the motor, in its instant and powerful respon-. siveness, in the smoothness of its riding. It gives an entirely different sensation from that perienced in other cars. Nothing short of, actual demonstration is suffiennt to convey an imprcsston. ci the smooth, gliding sensation of comfort and safety , you feel in riding in the "04" HUDSON , i a Gocifort Modern automobile designing is tending toward comfort and fcoavenience. The time was when people were willing to put op with a great deal of inconvenience in their automobiling. TTiey realized that a 150-mile drive in a day was fatiguing. Unless be was particularly robust, the driver hardly felt like covering a similar distance the next day. His passengers usually jmre tired and cross at the end of the day's journey. But in the HUDSON every known development looking Yoward easy riding qualities is incorporated. T The upholstering is 12 inches deep Turkish type. You sink . .jfovn into it and lounee restfullv in its softness as you rest in a favorite chair. The springs are flexible, bodies rigid and well proportioned. There is roominess in the tonneau and in front. Completeness Tbe regular equipment includes an electric self-starter which, try the touching of a button and the pressure of a pedal starts the nxtor 100 tunes out of 100 trials. It is 100 percent sure. T Electric lights are. operated from a generator, also a part of nor a much greater distance than gas, and are controlled from The windshield has a ram vision arrangement which permits JtriniT in a KHnHinrr rain with rlpsr vision for the driver and with nil nroteetion to the occunants of the front seat. The wind- w f - x shield is made Lnteeral with the bodv. T The rery appearance and feel of the "54" express its quality. A nnra tnHu-ate tlw flow of oil throueh the crank case. The -'. . . ; ? . !..:- itseU u not seen. A nana records tnat proper iuurn.ai.iuii is iz riven to all parts, and another gauge indicates the supply .C gasoline. There is a speedometer and clock. All these are Lfllummated. The condition ot tne car ana us supplies, y and night, are at the immediate observation ot the driver. Demountable rims and big tires 36" x "minimize all .tire cares. Tire holder, tools and every item of convenience are jQboJndadeoy Get-Away Speed Power From a standing start, the "54" HUDSON will attain in 30 seconds a speed of 53 miles an hour. That indicates its get-away. What other car do you know will do as well? On the Speedway at Indianapolis a stock car, fully equipped, having two extra tires and hauling four passengers, top down and glass windshield folded traveled ten miles at the rate of 62 miles an hour. This is marvelous when you consider that only twelve months ago a $500 prize was offered to the stock touring car similarly equipped that would do one mile in one minute flying start on that track. Several well-known cars attempted the test but failed to make good. Well-known racing drivers pronounced the "54" HUDSON' the fastest stock touring car built. It was not planned as a speed car, but as an ideal auto mobile for every requirement. It will go as slowly as 2H miles an hour on high and fire evenly on all six cylinders. It will jump to 58 miles an hour within 30 seconds from a standing point. There is more speed in the "51" HUDSON than any driver, except an expert, traveling over a protected and ab lutely cleared course, should ever demand of it. The Chassis is Simple There are but two grease cups on the motor. Other lubri-' eating point throughout the chassis are just as accessible. Consider the importance of choosing a car complete in every detail. In your selection of an automobile it is important that not one item of its deign and construction has been overlooked. It is equally apparent that no one man is so infallible that he is not apt to make mistakes. The safeguard against error is in having many experts design the car. What one overlooks or is- unable to accomplish, an associate corrects or is able to do. These 43 men, each a specialist in his line, have put into the car all that they have learned elsewhere. Can you imagine their leaving anything undone in a car they combined in building? And can you think it posm' !e that anyone is likely to soon produce anything that these men have not already anticipated and that is not already on the HUDSON?
