A SIX AND A -FOUR

BY ARTHUR 1. PHILIP.

There was a time when the men,

big maintenance charges and first
cost ranging from $4,000 to- $4,000.
Six cylinders were then a natural
of wealth. Men of
moderate means could appreciate
them from q distance only.
But that time Is past. For more
than q year, Studebaker has been
building q thoroughly reliable and
fully equipped light six" which has
been retailing by thousands. all over
the world, at sales price OF $1,575,
(. o. b. Detroit. While the Stude-
baker IL the lowest priced Six on
tho market there has been a general
downward trend In all Six prices.
These concessions and the resulting
six" popularity have caused a num-
Der Of manufacturers to eliminate the
production OF four-cyiinder cars al
together. centralizing on the type best
ntted for use In a seven passenger
car, where a large surplus of power

This assured popularity OF the light
six" has apparently bred In the
minds Of the public a belief that, In
time, the six-cyliHdeF car may force
the -Four entirely into the back
ground, as the -Four" did the two
cylinder cars Of seven or eight years
ago, and az the two-eyiinder car did
the "one-lungers" Of the earliest days.
During the past year we have re-
ceived a great amount Of correspond
ence, indicating that. in the minds Of
the general public, there was a gen.
uine doubt regarding the functions of
the two types OF motor. Expressions
of this sort have probably come to

to the fact that we have built. and

REVELATION WAS TOO MUCH
Picture Of "HoiIerino Jones" at Fa-
vorite Diversion Caused Him
to Reform.

A wellknown Illustrator. who makes
interesting western pictures, once
made the acquaintance Of a noisy but
good-natured cowboy who rejoiced in
the appellation Of "Hollering Jones'"
In physical appearance this man was
typical OF his kind, and the artist made
several studies OF him, both In re-
pose and in his favorite diversion Of
"hollering.' Some OF the studies were
sold by the artist to an eastern maya
zine. They showed Jones in his most
violent state.
A year later the artist again visited
the region. He was soon approached
by Mr.. Jones himself, bearing one of
the pictures. which he had torn from
the magazine in which its was printed.
Pointing to 1t, he asked:
rs that me?"
