By announcing for 1916 a seven-uas-
senger. 40 horsepower FOUR at SsS5,
and "A passenger. so horsepower
SIX at SlO50. Studebaker has once more
startled the motoring public.
And once more Studebaker has proved
that quantity production, scientific man
ufactering methods aud wealth of
manufac uring experience can reduce
prices and yet maintain high standards
Of quality.
That these are high grade cars in every
essential will be evident from the most
superficial examination. and the specif-
cations As given by the Engineering De-
partment az the Detroit factory indicate
that the qality Is even higher than with
last years ears. They show that finer
steels have been used: that the uphols-
terry Is Of the highest grade of leather
the market affords: that the finishing
operations have been increased 70 twen-
ty-hve in number, while numerous other
details OF manufacture are still further
indicative OF quality.
Yet despite all these improvements
aud changes. the prices have been radi.
cally reduced m comparison with those
of last year. No FOUR of this size and
power has ever been offered at anywhere
near the price of SSS5. No seven-pas-

within hundreds of dollars of the new
price Of SlO5O.
The new ears illustrate more conclu-
slVely than ever the accepted Stude-
baker policy Os dignity in design. The
Studebaker has never gone In for un.
usual lines. believing that the public
does dot care for cars that follow the
iads OF style that each new season sees.
AnnnvrtfssarNss ss.e
debaker has adhered TO its customary
lines. simply improving them In some
slight details that add 70 effect. The
line of the hood melts into the eovl and
the c0wl itself has been made longer
lhe crown Tenders are of a deeper de-
sign than ever and cling more closely 10
curves OF the wheels, and the lines of
the entire car How IN unbroken curves
from the radiator back 20 the fail-lamp
Grace Is the dominant note of the whole
design, and while the new cars are
larger than ever and more massive in
looks. they are among the handsomest
cars that have ever been produced.
One Of the notable features of the cars
Is the new unique arrangement OF the
seats. The drivers seat, for ,sxamnle
Is shaped so that both the driver and
the passenger riding with him have sep
aIate >ea.s. lnls Is change that own
ers who drive their own cars will greatly
appreciate. The tonneau is roomier than
ever and the auxiliary seats are OF en-
tireiy new design, developed by Stude-
BAKER within the last year. Instead ~
folding back against the sides Of the car
OF up against the back Of the front seat
they sink down into reeesses In the
hioor, completely disappearing when NOT

LOS ANGELES. Cal, March %
When Cornelius Valkhoff went out to
his rabbit hutch today to procure a
hare for a birthday dinner he stepped
into q water puddle as he touched
the latch OF the hutch gate and fell
dead. An electric cable leading to a
nearby crematory had broken during
the night and turned its 2,200 volt
current into the wire fence surround
ing the hutch. Later two others
we're killed and three injured.
Mrs. valkhoff saw her husband
writhe and fall in a contorted heap,
and rushed out to aid him. She
stepped into the puddle as she
touched his hand, and fell across his
body dead.
Harris Skinner who occupied half OF
the valkhoff dwelling. was the next to
invade the fatal short circuit, bent on
rendering aid, and he. too. fell dead.
The shrieks Of valkhoffs children. Anna
and Agnes. who were uncomprehending
witnesses of the tragedy attracted A. T.
Staten, a policeman. Staten entered the
back yard Just as the girls sped toward
the deadly water puddle, and snatching
their hair brisds, he jerked them back to
safety. In doing so, however. he came
into contact with the charged fence wire,
and was thrown twenty feet.
Mrs. skinner and another neighbor,
Miss Anna Mauch, we're next to enter the
yard They also came into slight con-
tact with the fence wire and were seri-
ously injured by the resultant shock.
Staten managed to get to telephone
and notified the electric company. which

Tho French commanders, who find the

The French are employing such guam

OF heavy field caliber. that they are able
TO combine and concentrate the fire in a
way not seen before i'm this war. The
French officers say their guns can dom
