ANYWHERE CAR
FOR ANYBODY
STUDEBAKER SUBURBAN" IS
CLASSY BUGGY
REALLY is THREE MACHINES
IN ONE
Just the Automobile to Go to the
Desert In or Put on Style in
the City--ls Climber,
Too

"a pretty classy buggy" is the
unanimous verdict of local automobile peo-
ple who have been privileged to see the
first model of the Studebaker suburban to
arrive in Los Angeles The Lord Motor Car
Company, the Studebaker southwestern dis
tributors, received the first of the new mod
els Wednesday, and wish the shipment had
been half a dozen from the way the car
promises to taxa.
This new model studebalxer is really three
cars in one and is considerably more COM
prehensive than its name implies. The
chassis is in every respect the same as that
of the regular Studebaker go" but the
seating equipment is the innovation. With
the regular rear seat it is light four-pas-
the rear seat and top, and the substitution
OF a rumble seat affords a smart looking
runabout or without either rear seat a com
bination passenger and baggage car Il
available
The adaptability of the new model makes
IL an extremely desirable in many ways
especially for suburban, ranch or outing de-
mands Its owner may meet friend at the
railroad station prepared to take him and
his baggage in one trip, and the next morn
ing take him into the city in an apparently
different touring car run down to the
beach in classy-looking runabout, and all
the changes may be made quickly ana
easily.
''She's a climber. too" says Mr.. Lord, who
is immensely proud Of the new style, Just
the car to 60 to the desert or up in the
mountains as well as putting on style in the
city. It's an anywhere car for anybody

INDIANA MAY HAVE
GREAT AUTO CONTEST
COURSE HAS BEEN SELECTED
FOR A ROAD RACE
Governor HanIy Is to Be Asked to
Furnish Militia to Guard Roads
Should Speed Test
Be Held
snsciaI to The Herald.

CHICAGO, August Indiana may,
after ALL get the American automobile
derby. The east has had it's Briarcliff
race and the south its Savannah and
Ormond races, but attention is now di-
rected westward, where the Chicago
Automobile club is seeking a course for
a road race which will far surpass any,
thing yet attempted in this country.
As matter of fact, the course has
been selected, but the consent of Gov
ernor Hanly to use the Indiana militia
Is necessary before the race can be held.
The course picked by Chairman j. F..
Gunther of the c. A. c.. racing board
lies wholly in Indiana, and so deep an
interest have the Hoosiers shown in the
proposed race that petitions are circu-
lRting in several counties asking Gov
ernor Hanly to order out the militia.
Crownpoint, the scene of the recent
motorcycle races, will be the hub of
the course should Governor Hanly make
the event possible. A circuit about
twenty-six miles long has been picked
over the Indiana roads surrounding
Crownpoint, and those who have tried
it declare record time is possible.
1t is almost a certainty that the A.
A. A. will lend all the aid at it's COM
mand in holding the race in recogni-
tion of the action taken by the club in
declining to join the secession move
ment inaugurated by the Automobile
Club of America.

A Few Facts
About This
Wonderful Car

If you want one of these cars get your de-
post down now and secure an early fall
delivery.
Do not be deceived by jealous competi-
tors. Many Los Angeles people have al
ready seen this car at Detroit. It has
been thoroughly tested and the first lot
of 1000 is going through the factory and
will be ready for shipment within the
next month.
This company will positively be In a
position to deliver these cars October 1,
and within three months 100 Cadillac
Thirties will be running on the streets of
Los Angeles.
This is absolutely the biggest buy in
the country today.
The motor delivers thirty horsepower
by dynamo test.
In comparison with the present twen-
ty-fve horsepower Cadillac the tonneau
is four inches longer and three and half
inches wider. There is also an inch and
a half more room in the front seat. The
wheelbase is 100 inches.

TESTING GOOGLE LENSES

Drivers who use goggles and then complain
OF headaches and i'll feeling after driving had
better blame the google lenses for their trouble
rather than put their faith in medical pre-
scriptions or treatment. Many cheap goggles
have lenses that not entirely neutral, as
they should be unless especially ground to take
the place of the glasses ordinarily worn by the
driver when not in the car. The effect Of the
cheap glass with the Irregularities in its sur
faces or thickness Is to strain the eyes as
badly as If the eyes themselves were affected
with severe astigmatism simple test for the
google lenses is to hold them away from the
eve and move them in circles while looking
through them. If the objects seen through the
lenses seem to move, too, 1t is an evidence that
the glasses are not neutral and should be
avoided The best protection is the selection
OF goggles of known reputation in which
guaranteed neutral optical glass is used.
