offer* advantages which you cannot afford to
forfeit. It is 80% more efficient than other like-
size motor*. It yield* 76 horsepower, where this
size before yielded but 42.
That mean* a motor which is never taxed.- It is
rarely run at more than half load.
This extra power—thU 80%—comes thwugh
wiping out vibration. So it means the, smoothest*
running motor in the world. This smpotbnea* elim
inates friction, thus doubling the motor’s endurance.
This vast reserve power means effortless perform
ance, whatever the road or hill. It means the power
•' to creep on high gear, and to instantly dash to speed.
The smoothness means luxury of motion, such as
you never have known in a cat. .
Prove these things by a ride with us. No other
motor will content you after that.
. There are six new luxury bodice built for the Super-Six. With
* this patented motor, they make the Hudeon unquestionably an-
promt. Every man who know* will concedo that.

divided each day of his. life as follows;
Eight hours for sleep, eight hours
for pleasure and recreation and eight
hours for work.
Of course, there are exceptions to
this rule, but the man who violate
this dlvlilon of his day tor any con
siderable length of time In the end
likely will pay the piper. If he sleeps
too much, he’s a dope: It he plays
too much, he vegetates and disquali
fies himself for work. If he works
too much he breaks down.
Only a third of one'a life seems a
small proportion to devote to work.
It would seem mat a man could not
accomplish much who devotes two-
thirds of his life to sleep and recrea
tion, and some men do not accom
plish much, but that is because they

DIFFERENT KINDS OF PIPE

puddled Iron was used entirely for
making pipe; for' various ressons
steel had not been successfully welded,
and ns me quantities needed were
comparatively small mere was no trou
ble in supplying me demand, says the
Engineering Magnate*. With an in-
creasing use of pipe, however, me dis
covery that steel could he welded when
treated properly, and me discovery of
chetper and better processes of mak
ing this material, caused it to be em
ployed more end more, and two classes
of pipe appeared on mo market—iron
end steel. With many manufacturers
In me field different grades of mete
appeared, end now mere ere n number
of such grades; In feet mere Is as
much difference between some of me
wreught-lron pipes as mere 1* between
tt end the steels, and mere la a cor
responding disparity between me tet
ter. All of mie he* tended to In*
crease me confusion, end Inasmuch
as any new material It liable to he
looked upon with suspicion, It Is pir-
baps only natural that mere should
have arisen much lack of agreement
regarding me length of life which
iron pipe, as contrasted with mat
made from steel, might be expected to
give.
Edison Is not alarmed by me papw

able than an ordinary xheet of note

The weight would not bo great, ai
mer, for a nickel book, containing
