STUDEBAkERS
ECONOMICAL

InIr. .oo ~H~ ~
Acting. on the'.theory that many d
9 fngasoline is wasted by the
average AUTOMOBILES owner in the.
course ofsatyearsaheS studebaker Cor
poration recently diEfsriedson a number
Of tests in all sscsi6lis IF the country
among owners eflStudebaker cars.
The results Of these nationwide
tests, just made known, have resulted
in greatly increased mileage in many;
cases. Averages of 16 to 10 miles per
gallon have been secured from the A.
cylinder models, while the six-cylinder
cars have produced15 miles per gallon
uniformly.
In actual operation, the Studebaker
plan works like this: An expert call
ing on an over who is not getting
maximum mileage , first disconnects
the regular gasoline supply and at
teches an auxiliary tank containing
one gallon. The owner then takes the
the wheel and drives a few miles, the
expert at his side making mental notes
all the while. At the end of the trip
the amount Of gasoline used is measur-
ed. The expert then relieves the owner
in command. Before starting out he
adjusts the carburetor and any other
features Of the mechanism that needs
adjusting in order to secure greatest
possible economy in operation. The
expert then drives the car and drives
it properly, explaining the owners
faults to him all the while.
Reports show in most cases that
the owner did not have his carburetor
adjusted to best advantage. In other
cases he might have had a tendency
to leave the motor running while
away from his car for a considerable
length Of time. In still other instances
his fault might be a speeding up the
motor and riding the clutch when a
shift of gears would have been the
logical and economical method. Spark
plugs may be dirty. OF. the motor may
have been otherwise neglected.
american automobile owners have
been accustomed to low priced gaso-
line SO long that they have become
careless and wasteful", says r. T.
Hodgkins, general sales manager of
The Studebaker Corporation. We can
learn a lesson in gasoline economy
from motorists in foreign countries
where they pay IS cents to a dollar a
gallon for as in some places, and as
a consequence they guard %zealously
against extravaganza in running thei,
cars.
II do not wish to enter a defense Of
the present price of gasoline. I would
like to see it come down, and believe
it is bound to do so. But for thei,
part, automobile owners have an op.
portunity to practice thrift in the case
of gasoline.
1.-THE reading and observation of the
advice laid down in instruction book!
will help a lot. Our dealers impress
this point upon the owners. They also
urge Studebaker users to feel free al
any time to come in for advice on how
to increase the mileage per gallon.
"As a result of the campaign of ed
ucation which we have carried on
among owners, letters have come ii
to us from all over the country tell
ig us how they have boosted thei1
mileage by simply taking care of theil
cars, keeping them tuned up to the
highest economy pitch, and practicine
common sense in driving.

SAYS HE SHOT AFTER
HE FEARED FOR SAFETY

ut certainly does seem good 20 wake
up enjoying freedom again, said Ellis
d. Frigar of Boothwyn, this morning.
after his first night of liberty in three
months. Frigar had been in MOya-
mensing prison for the last three
months. He surrendered to the po-
lice after having shot and killed Ed
ward BOland in Fairmount Park. Phlla-
delphia, the night of August %.
After his third hearing upon a writ
Of habeas corpus. ne was admitted to
$4,000 bail yesterday by Judge Auden-
ried Of Philadelphia The decision in
his favor was due to the testimony OF
his fiancee, Miss Amanda Sykes, who
was with him in a motor car at the
time of the shooting. Her testimony
was not permitted at earlier hearings.
As a result of Miss Sykes evidence,
Judge Audenried ruled that there was
no presumption shown that Frlgar in
tended to kill Boland. His assertion,
supported by the testimony of Miss
Sykes. is that he fired only after he
feared for the safety of Miss Sykes
and himself when accosted by Boland
and several companions Of the man.
Il don't knox Just what | am going
to do today" Frigar said this morning,
except that / am going to see Miss
Sykes as quickly as possible. I have
talked with her over the telephone,
but have not seen her since we both
