Have you ever heard a Hupmobile owner say anything but good of his car?
Haven’t you noticed that when he wants to dispose of it to get a new one,
he never has any difficulty in so doing?
Haven’t you observed how willing any dealer is to take a Hup in trade

Business has been rather brisk with
all the automobile dealers this week.
The advent of summer has brought
about the desire to motor and many
Galvestonians has secured a new car.
Many of. those who ahd cars have been
having them overhauled and retired
in order that they may enjoy the sea-
son to the best advantage. In addi-
tion to selling or delivering many cars,
the dealers have, sold a large amount of
accessories.
. One dealer stated today that business
in the accessory line had never. been
better.
The following cars have been sold
during the week, according to the re-
ports made'along the row:

It invites the most searching scru-

That’s immediate relief. If loosens up
the carelessness. of, wagon drivers. In
one instance the man driving the
wagon was on the wrong side of the
street. The car turned the. corner on
the right side and ran into him. in
another one car cut across the wrong
way and collided with anothe. These
are just a few instances where precau-
tion would have prevented accidents.
There are any number of others and
they are happening almost every day.
SHOULD OBSERVE TRAFFIC.
“If a man cares to plead ignorance
of the traffic regulations, and of the
correct manner of turning the street
corners, he should walk down to the
corner of 21st and Market streets or to
Tremont and Market streets any even-
ing and just observe the actions for
about five minutes. There he will see
the traffic cops directing a stream of
traffic and he would find what to do
under almost any circumstances. A
little observation should be made by the
fast and reckless drivers and these
drivers of vehicles who seem to be
totally ignorant of how to get over the
streets.” “"
That there should be more traffic
policemen in the down town district,
and especially more on the boulevard
and one or more on Broadway during
the summer, was the statement made
yesterday. It was suggested that the
day motorcycle man might take a little
run about the streets occasionally in-
stead of remaining in one or two places
on the boulevard. This would leave
the driver who disregards the law at a
loss to know where he is and make
them more careful. It was further sug-
gested by members of the Automobile
club that the motorcycle men in the
fire department who are invested with
police power might take a trip about
the city daily in quest of violators of
the traffic regulations. This, it is be-
lieved, would have a tendency to “edu-
cate” some of the drivers readily.
Frequently after night on Broadway
automobiles can be seen going in both
directions on both sides of the street.
This, it is urged, is dangerous and un-
called for, - and at the same time is
something - which everyone. knows
should not be done. There .is no traffic
“cop” on this boulevard andthe drivers,
are getting more careless. Further than,
that, it is said’tin at any and all kinds
of vehicles' travel this street in viola- ..
tion of the law This is urged as an-
other reason why it would not be a
bad idea,' if the men could be spared .
for an hour daily, to have two motor-
cycle men invested' with police powers
to get out and see what is going on.
Attention is called by the Automobile
club official to the fact that none of
these collisions which could have been
prevented, ahd which came about as
the result of some one- violating the
traffic regulations, have taken place in
the neighborhood of the places' where
traffic cops are known to be. They take
place elsewhere.
Another thing which is being sug-
gested by automobile drivers is the
closing of automobile and vehicle traf-
fic on Tremont, street from Avenue P
to the boulevard on Sundays. This, it
is claimed, would minimize the danger
of accidents there. It is suggested that
since 21st, 22d and 25th streets are
shelled from Avenue P to the boulevard
the traffic could .go over these streets
and leave Tremont from P to the boule-
vard free.
Many of the members of the Auto-
mobile club and many of the drivers of
the city are in: favor .of. the . three-
signal system suggested in the Tribune
some weeks ago as .a means of handling
the constant stream of traffic on the
boulevard and in the down town dis-
tricts, but a-s-'yfet those who favor it
are not seen using the signals.

Special to .The .Tribune.
Fort Worth, June .6.—The Texas
Business'Men’s association J has com-
pleted 4 at report relating to the road
and bridge bond elections which were,
conducted in the various counties of
the state during May, and according to
their figures, eight elections were held
in seven counties, resulting in the is-
suance of bonds in the sum of $700,000.
Only one proposition to authorize
bonds was defeated during the month
and that was held in the Teague pre-
cinct of Freestone county, involving
road bonds to the amount of $250,000.
This is more than twice the amount
of road bonds, authorized during the
same month of 1913 and is also a sub-
stantial increase over March and
April of this year.
According to the members of the
commissioners court the proceeds of
the §20,000 election will be used to
construct a section of the Southern
National Highway, which passes
through this county. The $10,000 is-
sue will be devoted to rad impnove-
ment 'generally in the entire county:
That Galveston is sadly in need of
some traffic regulations or the strict
enforcement of the present rules and
regulations which apply to the driving
of automobiles and vehicles on the
street is the opinion of many members
of the Galveston Automobile club and
citizens of Galveston Who have ob-
served several minor accidents within
the past ten days. Just what would be
the best thing to do under the present
circumstancees, bearing in mind the
fact that Galveston needs at least a
dozen more policemen, is One of the
matters which at this time is occupying
no little time- and..attention of the sec-
retary of the Galveston Automobile
club, other citizens, members and peo-
ple who have to frequent the streets.
During the past ten days, according
to the records at the police station and
the observations of the- Automobile
club, three or four accidents have oc-
curred in the city where lives were
jeopardized and property endangered.
All of these were accidents which could
have been avoided if the proper pre-
caution had been exercised, or if the
drivers of the different machines had
observed the traffic: regulations of the
city.
“One of the first things needed here
is the education of the public to the
observance of traffic regulations,” said
a prominent official of the Galveston
Automobile club today. “There are
plenty of people who do not know the
law. That is no excuse for bringing on
an accident and they should be taught.
Some automobile drivers are careless,
so careless that they drive into wagons,
carts, street cars or other automobiles.
Some of them look after their own
safety and pay no attention to others.
There are any number of drivers who
dan be seen turning their cars in the
middle of the block, something which
should not be done under any cjrcum- '

Ask Any Hupmobilist
The Hupmobile’s reputation for lesser maintenence cost, for longer life, and for a higher
cash value in the second-hand market is founded on the. experience of Hup owners.
it is not a thing of recent growth. ^
it is as old as the Hupmobile itself.
Owners of other cars can’t understand the Hup owner’s intense loyalty and enthusiasm
for his car. ‘
Their own experience knows no such economy as typifies the month-in and month-out
use of the Hup.
They see Hup owners actually going out of their way to make Hupmobile sales to their best
friends.
You can easily verify all this, possibly in your own neighborhood.
A chat with a Hup owner will reveal to you phases*of economy and car service you have
never perceived.
The Hupmobile dealer can give you scores of names and specific instances equally
enlightening and convincing.
