the automobile plants in Detroit occurred
several years ago and implied change

Guided by a definite policy, Reynolds
sits in judgment. He must be salts

doubt involved, the Studebaker labora-
tory determines that by analysis ana

the sellers financial standing and
ability to make deliveries according to
schedule
He must be satisfied that the price
finally agreed on is reasonable but will
still allow the salesman's firm mar
gin of profit. This last provision makes
1t necessary for him to know the last
word regarding manufacturing cost
The experienced salesman is fully
aware Of all these conditions. He knows
also that the Studebaker contract will
mean continuous operation for the
manufacturer he represents. and a sue

great a saving this represents to the
purchaser of a car may be imagined

SCIENTIFIC BUYING
REDUCES PRICES
Public Owes Large Share of
Value That Can Be Put in
Car to Purchaser.

Between the engineer who designs an
automobile. and the manufacturing
genius who builds 1t. there intervenes
a step which. while never Of a spec
tacular sort, is nevertheless of mighty
Importance. determining to a great ex-
tent. the price at which the car can be
profitably sold.
This step Is the purchase of material.
To the man under whose direction this
task If performed, the automobile-buy-
ing public owes a large share Of tho
increasing value that is being put into
the popular-priced American automo-
bile.
The purchasing agent is a specialist
In values of materials. He knows the
reputation of every large maker of ma
terials and the capacity of his plant.
He is a veteran student Of human IA
ture-wary, resourceful and shrewd.
An example Of scientifis buying ability
is Chester J. Reynolds. through whose
department the Studebaker Corporation
buys annually many millions Of dollars
worth of supplies. varying in value
from the pencil of a stenographer to

and equipment.

A warning to automobile owners to

CAUSE
OF MANY CAR ILLS
Sixty Per Cent of Troubles Due to nexperience or Neglect
Man Without Chauffeur Makes Mistake BY Taking Long
Trip Before He Knows Machine.
BY ]. G. PAINTER.

There are few topics more frequently
discussed among automobile buyers and
users than the question of guarantee.
From the time the purchaser has his
car delivered until he sells it. he is. to
greater or lesser degree. dependent up
on the manufacturer who made his car
and upon the agent or branch which
sold it.
From close observation 1t appears
that about 90 per cent of the troubles
that an owner encounters with his first
car Is due to his inexperience and neg
ligence. 1t Is not intentional neglect,
for. indeed. the owner of new car
prides himself on the care he believes
he is giving the machine
There are two classes of car owners,
the one who drives his own car and the
one who employs a chauffeur. The
man in the first class IL more often at
fault than the one in the second class.
His first trip is planned, the family
start out, everything Is peaut1ul: ,hey
are climbing a steep grade after several
hours of hard running. Some one
smells the motor, the heat from the
hood seems intense, the motor becomes
noisy and the engine begins to lose
power
Water Boils.
The car stops. The water is boiling
in the radiator and overfiowins on the
roadway. No one knows what TO do.
There is an instruction book in the car,
but the owner has not time to read II.
After the motor cools off they get un-
der way again and finally reach the
nearest garage. The garage keeper
tells them they need oil. He has
learned his first lesson, and the bear
irgs 10 the engine have been ruined;
Now, what does this man do? Does
lie tell the agent what happened, or
does he simply complain, saying he is
sorry that he did not buy another ma
ker's car? The answer to this, in nine
cases out of then. is: The maker re-
places the bearings free-isn't the car
guaranteed?
Many instances of similar character
can be cited, where the cost OF mex
pericnce falls on the agent or ma1ufac-
turer. There Is no piece of machinery
known that is subject to the many re-
uuiroments that n mOtorcar is made to
fulfill.
Power plants and other classes OF
The Washington times., 1913-10-11

machinery representing an investment
equal to that Of I high-priced car are
maintained and operated by men who
have been licensed, after severe exami-
nations, as engineers. With all this
care. defective parts are usually paid
for by the owner Of the plant.
Guarantees Work.
When a manufacturer sells a car to
a customer he guarantees It against de-
fective workmanship and material for
limited time. During that time re-
placements are made which do not come
under the guarantee. but. in order to
keep peace with his customer and have
him well pleased he does the work
free Of charge. This he quietly charges
to his policy account"
The user of a motorcar has a right to
expect service and attention from the
manufacturer. II there Is anything de-
fective or not performing its function
properly 1t should be replaced or re-
paired without expense to the owner.
The experiences Of the companies
which have been manufacturing pleas
ure cars and are now making motor
trucks have taught them that the truck
situation will have to. be handled diff

MOTOR CAR OWNERS
TEST OWN MACHINES
Climbing Hill or Using Certain
Speed Good Standards for
Automobile Trials.

Some private automobile owners adopt
the plan of ''standardizinG" their cars
performances. Having discovered a
standard, with it they test their cars
from time to time, to see If they are
behaving properly.
Some use a steep hill and try to climb
il on a certain gear at a certain speed.
This is a good standard test. Another
is to take the car out on a good level
road and. to note the position of the
spark and throttle levers when a speed
Of, say, twenty-five miles an hour Is
obtained. Failure to obtain this speed
subsequently indicates something
wrong.
Methods such as this are good prac-
tice for the amateur in learning just
how his car should perform.

MotorcycIists' Fees
To Aid Good Roads

October / the Federation of American
Motorcyclists put into effect a plan by
which a part of the money paid for
membership fees will revert to the
State from which II came, to be used
for the upbuilding of the State organ
ization. The directors of the federation
have voted that % per cent of all fees
for memberships and renewals shall be
set aside for the State from which the
fees come. This will be held in the
national treasury, and can be drawn
on bv the State commissioner to carry
on the work of local organization.

Radiator Overflow
Important Factor

Keep an eye on the overflow tube Of
the radiator Of your automobile. This
is not only to provide an outlet for a
surplus Of water, but also to allow an
exit for the steam that is sometimes
formed. II this should be stopped up
and the cap on tight. there is danger
that the radiator may be damaged by
the pressure, or that the motor may be
overheated through the formation of a
steam lock in the circulation system.

ONE OF THE WORST

One OF the greatest evils that afiicts
towns and cities IS the almost uiver-
sal practice of selling liquor in the red
light resorts.
1t is maintained by many men who
are neither vicious nor dissipated that
these resorts are a necessary evil, and
that their entire suppression would
lead to more trouble than they make.
While this may be true. it would be
difficult to find any unprejudiced and
well informed person who could argue
that selling liquor in these joints
was anything but incentive to evil,
and that entirely unnecessary.
All these resorts in which liquor Is
sold are practically blind tigers, and
the evidence is always plain. 1t
is very little trouble to secure the eviz
dence and punish the offenders.
A determined and sustained policy
OF Furnishing the people who run these
blind tigers would save more young
men from ruin than shutting up all
the barrooms in the country. 1t would
also greatly increase the probability Of
reclaiming wayward girls, whose physi-
cal and moral deterioration in these
resorts is greatly Increased by the
task set them of inducing the men TO
buy as many drinks as possible.

RAILROAD COMMISSION
SHOULD HAVE MORE POWER

Marion county's two representatives
to the legislature are in favor of CIV
ing the Florida railroad commission
more power, and the people of the
other counties should insist that their
representatives work on the same line
as those from Marion.
Much obIoquy is cast on the railroad
commission by various papers in the
state, some not aware of the disad-
vantage under which the commission
Iabors, other sneering maliciously in
hope of fooling the people into having
the commission abolished altogether.
While the commission, though not ex-
actly tied to post, has heavy block
and chain on it, it is enough OF a
watchdog to make the railroads wish
someone would knock it in the head
or throw it a piece of poisoned steak.
1t helps the interests of the people
some. and it would help more If it had
more scope.
The truth of the matter is that the
railroad commission, instead of having
to go into court with the railroads,
should be a court itself The Iegisla-
ture should make it a tribunal with
the power equal to that of circuit
courts and its decisions should not be
subject to reversal by any but the
supreme court of the state. The present
railroad commission is made up of men
who know what Is just for the peo-
pie and just for the railroads. When
they make decisions that the rail-
roads do not like. (and the railroads
do not like any of them they are
slowly and grudgingly complied with
or openly disregarded until the COM
mission has to go into the courts. AS
the railroads have unlimited means
they can hire the best lawyers, and
often either defeat the commission on
technicalities or delay the settlement
of case for years.
The Dominion of Canada has a rail-
road commission which has the powers
of a court. When it issues an order
to the railroads, the order is obeyed
The railroads of Canada are doing fan
more in proportion for the people than
the railroads of the United States are
doing. At the same time, the railroads
of Canada are doing well by themselves
and rapidly developing their country II
always pays to do the square thing by
the people, but the corporations are
not going to do it until they are com.
PEELED to. The quicker the work OF
compelling begins, the better for al
parties.

MAY HAVE A PLACE
on THE FAIR MIDWAY

Dir. Nat Refss thinks it is likely that
his big carnival. after making its
summer trip will return to Florida in
time TO make one OF the amusements at
the Marion County Fair.
II viii be remembered that the
amusements at the last fair were few,
and also that the crowds were rather
slim. There is a lesson in this. for
no matter how much people need 10 be
instructed, they want TO be amused.
Everybody who has seen it can GER
tify that the Reiss shows can play a
strong card in the amusement game,
so it might be a good idea for the fair
mana cement to have an understanding
with Mr. Reiss before he leaves.
Monday night is VIGOROUSLY a bad
night for amusements, and a storm
threatened last night; notwiths tand-
ing, there was very good crowd on
the carnival grounds and the people
had lots of fun.
