Practically all of the there are negrbes, many of them almost uneducated. They are' us curious about what makes an au- tomobiles go as is the average small boy regarding the inner con- struction of his first watch, and their efforts to inform themselves are often disasterous. Much trouble results from their at- tempts to satisfy their curiosity by dissassembling such units as 'starter-generator, carburetor, ma- gneth, etc. Failure of such units in the "bash" almost always are the result of such tampering. The storage battery is one of the worst sufferers. Naturally, evaporation is much more rapid in a climate where temperatures are constant- ly.so high that one can easily push his finger into the pitch or wax with which the battery jars ore sealed and where even at night the battery feels warm to the hand. The nativo drivers either neglect the batteries entirely or fill them with any bottled liquid that comes handly, usually soda water, ginger ala or mineral water.
During the cocon season there is a big ruali,.during which trans- portation must not fall. There la plenty of money available to buy dependable transportation. Re- sults are the prime consideration; the purchase price is of little con- sequence.

Through increase of quality, greater sales result, and volume economies that permit lower prices. There you have the reason for Hudson's leadership in value, in price, in 'sales.
