The $3.50 Studebaker SIX IS

If these qualities were available

Don't hesitate. Go see it. A sur

amount of service from a tire, it should
be stored in dry, cool and dark quarters
Oil Ruins Rubber.

Never allow tires to stand in oil at
the garage or elsewhere, and be particular
to wipe off any oil which may drop on the
tires at any time. Lubricatin3 oil greatly
softens the rubber makes it pasty and
gluelike in consistency and takes all the
resistance and elasticity out of it. This
oil may be cleaned from the tires with
gasoline, as gasoline evaporates and does
not result in injury.
If when the car is idle il is lacked
UP it will add to the life of the tires, as
they are then bearing only the pressure
of the air with which they are inflated,
whereas when supporting the weight of
the ear this weight, often several thou
sand pounds is eXerting a continual I'M
necessary strain on the casing Walls. BY
adopting this course it is estimated that
the life of the tires will be increased
by at least half the time that the car
stands idle.

Tops, windshields and many other de-
vices are considered as extras by the
manufacturer and may increase the cata-
logue weight materially.
1t is estbated that = per cent added to
the weight of the car adds ~ per cent to
the wear and tear on the tires. For TINS
reason il is always economy to adopt tires
one or two sizes larger than the regular
equipment on your car. Even If the regu-
lar size tires are not overloaded. addi-
tional mileage and satisfaction to cover
the additional cost will be given by larger
tires.
The tremendous horsepower of some
high-priced machines produces an ef-
feet similar to overlooking. The strain is
too great for rubber and fabric to en-
dure long uninjured.
Chains Also Cut Tires.
If chains are used they should have
proper adjustment. Chains applied too
tightly will cut the tread out and render
the time useless in short time. The
chains should be adjusted to allow them
to shift around over the tread and the
wear will be distributed.
If one-piece clincher rims are used it
is advisable to examine them at frequent
intervals for dents. The clincher rim is
easily bent and, being subject to rust,
the edges may become worn down to
cutting edge then rim cutting begins and
the case is soon cut through
When a clincher tire rim cuts exam

be found there. Castings should be
moved from the rim occasionally TO allow

ings-the castings for breaks and indica-
lions of breaks in the fabric, for strains

Rim Irregularity Costly.
With clincher tires one of the costly
evils is irregularity of rims. If the rim
does not fit the clinch of the tire with
perfect contact the bead is soon de-
stroyed and water is allowed to enter
the tire with destroying influence. If
when the casing is removed the shoulder
of the head appears yellow or rusty the
rim should be thoroughly secured with
emery cloth and given coat of alumni

Tires should not be stored or left off
any length of time unused in the direct
RAYS of the sun or kept in very warm
ouarters Under such conditions the rub
her quickly loses its elasticity, becomes
hard. and soon develops innumerable fine
cracks A continued exposure as above
will render the best tire practically val
ueless in a few months.
When buying a new case or a tube it
will be wise to see that the dealer has
not had it displayed in the windows. To
secure the longest life and greatest

Brake Adjustment Needed.

If one tire stops the load. as is often
the case when brakes are not properly
adjusted, the tread is liable to be worn
through to the fabric by one appliea-
ton of the brake. The strain Of stopping
the car is thrown almost entirely on one
wheel. 1t Is set and the tire is subjected
to severe grinding action with the
nayement or road See that the brakes
are adjusted to equally distribute the
strain Sudden stops have the same eff
feet and should be avoided Skidding
around corners at high speed is like
wise very disastrous.
The fabric having been thus weaken ed
II is a matter of a short time until the
DIV pressure in the tube, increased by the
weight and strain or heavy car, becomes
too great for the container or casing, and
a loud report announces to the driver that
tho fire has suffered a blowout. Natur-
not patiently apparent, the manufacturer
is blamed for defective material or work
manship. To experts, however, the causes
are we'll known. So long as the fabric is
preserved as it was when the tire was
new the blow -out is not likely to occur

Why Are So Many thoughtful Buyers
Selecting The $3.50 Studebaker SIX?

Thousands of Americans were
not converted overnight to the
$3.50 Studebaker "SIX" with
out level=headed sufficient
reason.
The fact is that motorists have
found in the $3.50 Studebaker
"SIX" a mechanical luxury and
advantage which they never
knew before.
You, too, will find when you first sit
at the wheel of the Studebaker SIX
that you are driving different kind of
a car.
The $3.50 Studebaker "SIX" is
different, in its ability to pull steadily
at all speeds without vibration.

ExoNERATED BY GRAND JURY.
HughesvilIe Men, Accused of Run

Five residents Of Hughesville. Md.

months ago on charges of mansiaughter
were exonerated yesterday. when the
grand Jury refused to indict them in
connection with the killing of Charles

hurt by an auto occupied by a party
of young men at Pennsylvania Avenue
and Fifteen Street Southeast. about II

jured man to die in the street.
Two days later detectives arrested Am

five men for the action of the grand jury.
The prisoners were released on bond.
The evidence gathered by the police
against the five men, officials admitted.

denied knowledge OF the accident. Their
arrest caused much indignation near
their homes. in Prince George County.

Tactics" on a shipbuilding programme.
He declared that II the present building
programme was adhered to, the United

inferior to Germany in power ships OF
the dreadnought type.
He divided naval ships into two
classes-those who get information. or
scouts, and the big power ships. which
are enabled to use the information to
best advantage in strategy nd tactics.
