SAVING OIL IS

Oil Regularly.

The car owner who takes pride in
telling how he has covered 1000. 1900

oil is practicing false economy" says
Max Hagelstine. manager Of the ser
vice department OF the Studebaksr

ord he boasts of per gallon OF oil may
sound impressive. but while such an
owner is saving the price Of several
gallons OF oil, he is Setting UP a wear

would have been used.

Is Your Name Listed
As "Prospect' for an

Interesting facts and figures on the

piled by the Studebaker corporation.

The output OF automobiles for this
year is estimated at 100000 cars"
says Mr. Ouier. That is more than
ever before were produced in any one
year Yet the number does not look
30 stupendous when we consider the
possible market
The average value OF the 1000. 600
farms in this country Is $500. The
owners of 100000 Of these farms have
half, Of the remaining farm owners
who do not drive cars are good pros

who. according to a well known auth
ority in statistics. are earning more
people own automobiles. At least
500 900 Of the remaining $500. 000 are
good prospects for car
THAT makes 100000 farmers and
$500. 600 city people who are prospects
for new Cars-that is. first time pros
pects-or a total Of 5.500.0O0. as com
pared with "a contemplated production
Of only 100000 cars from the factor

From these figures II might seem
that 1000, 600 cars a year for five years
would easily supply these 100000
PEOPLE who are prospects for their
first cars. But such viii not ne the
case. for l. must be remembered that
an ever increasing percentage or the
cars built each year go TO those who

According to Mr.. Duke. the factory

figures the front end Of the truck to be

in considerable confusion and IN these

TEXAS MUST HAVE STATE HIGHWAY
COMMISSION To GET FEDERAL AID
Largest Amount for Any State Is Available to Texas
When Proper Organization Is Perfected; Federal
Good Roads Money Has Strings Tied to IT,;
Huge Sums for Highways.

the pen used in the signing of the
bill now reposes in the A A. A head
quarters In Washington. We are just
plain American citizens and We have
sought general good in our insistence
that the time had come for the ma
tiOnal government TO accept n Dercen-
tage of the multiplying highway
burdens
--Thirty-four states have now out
lined in some form a system Of main
trunk lines. which is now an augury
for the success OF the federal aid plan
Just inaugurated- IN this connection l.
Is worthy TO note that California was
the first state to apply for its appOr-
tionment of the money, and California
is expending $4,000 900 on two main
highways extending from the Oregon
to the Mexican line. II should be kept
in mind that an application for federal
aid in the improvement of any road
must be made by the highway depart
ment OF the state. Consequently II
anybody in the state desires TO have
road improved at the aid of federal
funds. IL is necessary that the matter
be taken up with the state highway
department and not with the federal
government. which VIII have the final
say through the secretary Of agri-
culture"
one provision Of the federal road law
is that a state must have a duly con-
stituted highway department through
which TO deal with The national gov
ernnent.
This means that Texas. Indiana,
Georgia and South Carolina must fol-
low the lead Of the - other states
and do so within the next four years.
and meanwhile their apportionment OF
the federal money is being held up.
Texas receives thu largest amount
Of all Of the states, S4,515.750: Indiana
is generously treated in receiving So
100 GEO: while Georgia gets s2.079.75G
and South Carolina does fairly well,
Sl111,500.
Thus il will he seen that before So
$4,000 Of the federal $4,000, 900 is ex-
pended. four states must centralize
their highway labors.
