order to give more comfort to those
who ride in Studebakcr cars. Storm
curtains which open with the doors
are innovations which will be apprc-
ciatcd in Indictment weather. and which
mean more comfort for the passengers.
Freedom from mechanical trouble, the
silence of all moving parts. even
beauty of lines and finish, are all con-
ducive to maximum comfort-because
they mean completes. satisfaction.
"Of course. the cushions of n car are
vitality necessary to the comfort of the
passengers. And in that respect might
add that Studcbakcr cars are uphol-
stored in semi glazed genuine leather,
built over long coiled springs and
stuffed with genuine curlcd hair. The
highest priced cars on the market do
not offer better quality or give more

DIXON'S AUTOMOBILE
LUBRICANTS IN LEAD

The books have all been balanced ora
the 1916 racing season. The driving
championship has been awarded to
Dario Resta, who pilots Pcugeot
racer. The points Of all the entrants in
the American Automobile association
contest have been totaled. There were
81 races held under the auspices Of
the contest board and 49s starters.
Many kinds Of cars were represented
with 113 drivers contesting.
Dixon's Graphite Automobile Lubri-
cants are the leaders among lubri-
cants. They carried off practically
all the honors in the racing classics of
1916. Out Of a total Of l9s contestants.
49l used Dixon's. There were 112'
drivers that used Dixon's and only one
driver who didn't. A total of 2o.720
points were awarded. Tho points
awarded to Dixon -lubricating cars ag-
gresated 20,930.
Dario Resta, Johnny Aitken. and
Eddie Rickenbacker, who finished
third. together won 1O.45o points. al
most naif OF the total points awarded.
These men all are regular users OF
Dixon's lubricants. They know by
experience that DiXon's are dependable.
Whenever they are forced out Of the
running for any reason 1t is never a
case of faulty fabrication. Friction
never worries them, for they know that
Dixon's lubricants have put quictus
on friction.
These men used DiXon's only be-
cause they had confidence in the abil-
ity Of Dixon's to stand the gaff. Re-
suits prove that their confidence was
justified. Their Endorsement should
be proof Of Dixon worth. Here's
pointer for drivers Of every kind Of car
for every purpose.

It will be the most unique convey

to Barney. in time for the next auto
classic ~ the Indianapolis speedway.

'''This is an anti.accident car" says
Barney. Il propose to demonstrate
with 1t that the thrill can still be
kept in automobile racing and the trag-
edies kept out. I'm going to lift the
stigma from the game"

driver. II have c9s cubic inches of
cylinder space in the engine. which
ought to make the car faster than any
machine on tho market. Building the
body of aluminium makes 1t especially
light. Probably the wagon. fully
equipped. will not weigh oyer 1900
pounds"
Since risk is greatly cut down by this
new form Of automobile construction,
Oldfield will be able to make greater
speed on race course. He will hit
the turns harder, and will keep ibis
clutch in practically all the time in
both road races and track meets. When
he Is hitting the hundred mile-an-
hour mark. he viii think he Is merely
jogging along. On the straight aways
he win hit the ITO mark easily.

ASSEMBLING 5000
CARS every DAY
Visitors to Ford Automobile
Plant at Detroit Get Idea
Of How So Much Work
Can BE Handled Properly.
ACCURACY THE THING

The Detroit factory Of the Ford Mo.
tor company is now building and at
its % assembly plants is assembling
approximately 5000 cars each working
day.
The visitor who comes to the home
factory to see how Ford cars are made
with perhaps the preconceived belief
that 5000 cars cannot be we'll made
in a single working day is quickly dis
illusioned when he sees with his own
eyes how the work of making Ford
parts is carried on.
Accomplish production on the scale
which Ford cars are built each part
must fit instantly and without alter
alton in the assembled car. For this
reason the very volume of output COM
pels absolute eXactitude in conforming
to the standard measurements. Aside
from the mechanical accuracy insured
by special machinery and devices, there
is a rigid inspection OF each part at
various stages of its making.
To accomplish this thorough inspec-
ton an army of 1850 men is kept busy
"a hours each day. These men are en-
gagged solely on inspection work so that
every individual part is under con-
slant observation. The average Of in
spectors to output Is carefully main
tanned. which means that should the
daily output Of cars be doubled the
number Of inspectors would also be
doubled!
Many ingenious devices have been
worked out by Ford engineers to in
sure not only rapid but rigid inspcc-
ton. One of these Is used in the in
spection of piston rings. These rings
must show u tension of 10 pounds be-
fore the inspector can pass them. For
merly inspectors used specially con-
structed scales in which each ring
was placed in order to determine it's

too slow. In its place a simple chute.

in such way that as the ringa pass
through they cause a, small electric
lamp to flash II the tension Is .13
pounds. II not. the light fails. to re-
spond and the defective ring Is thrown

spccted every Is hours.
So the visitor at the Ford factory
finds at every turn devices and meth
DDS all working to the one cnd-that
not alone shall the highest qualify Of
material enter into Ford cars. but
around every manufacturing operation
Is thrown a care Of inspection to pro-
duce a finished car that is 4 harno-

CAR comfort" IS
NOT ONLY CUSHIONS
Complete Relaxation and
Full Enjoyment of Touring
Depends Upon Design and
Construction of Auto.
STUDEBAKER EXCELS

Comfort in the motor car has been
n thing of slow growth says l.. j.
Ollier, vice president and director of
sales of the Studebaker corporation.
IN the days when cars were machines
instead of vehicles. bodily comfort was
less than a secondary consideration
the mechanics of the conglomeration of
steel and glass and wire were the first
thought. Nowadays. with the motive
units and running gear developed to Il
point where they no longer are a source
Of worry, car owners have become ap-
prcciative of what car designers have
tried to do for their bodily comfort
and have demanded more along that
line.
But just what is meant by COM
fort?" I am afraid that the average
motor car buyer looks upon comfort
as being associated with the depth and
righteousness of the cushions and up
holstcry only. Surely, it is more than
that. In designing the new series Is
Studeloaker cars we considered both
driver and passengers. Our efforts
have been directed along number of
different lines, but to the one end
comfort.
Power first Of all, heads the list
as the most important of all motor car
essentials that make for comfort.
Power to take you there and back,
without continual shifting of gears
and mechanical difficulties. Most any
car will run well on good roads--but
for complete relaxation the motorist
wants an automobile with plenty of re-
serve power to meet all of the emer-
gencics of touring. The driver who
shifts from "high" to "low" or inter
mediate" for every little grade or
stretch OF rough going certainly can
not, be very comfortable. What YOU
want is a road car, one you can sit in.
keep two fingers on the wheel and
bowl along at % or 80 miles an hour
and not keep fussing around with
pedals and levers. That's why we talk
SO much about Studebakcr reliability
You don't have to drive tit runs!
Leg room is another mighty inn
pOrtant feature of the comfortable car:
room for persons of any size or height
to stretch out in and feel as free and
easy as II in their favorite chair at
home. The front seats Of Studebaker
cars are individual and made to con-
form perfectly to the contour of the
passengers back. They are really
form fitting. Both of these seats are
adjustable, fore and aft, and the seat
next to the drivers is reversible. Ocl
cupant may ride facing either forward
or the tonneau-another exclusive
Studebaker comfort idea.
"Studcbaker cars may not be sup
posed to seat more passengers from all
outward appearances. but accommo-
dations for extra passengers have been
provided just the same. Underneath
the rear seat are two auxiliary arm
chairs which pull out easily and quick
ly when required. Here again is DEM
onstrated the extremes to which we
as manufacturers, are glad to so In

Washington, Nov. 28:-Chairman
E. H. Hurley of the United States
shipping board, impatient over the
delays in the shipping program, has
placed a large part of the executive
work in the hands of expert civilians.
TIE functions hitherto assumed by
Rear Admiral Capps and Naval Con-
structor Bolles has been taken over
by Charles Piez and James o. Hey

The failure of the shipbuilding
program to proceed with the great
est possible speed and the occurrence
of delays and blunders have moved
Chairman Hurley to put things un-
der the direction of men who are In
the habit of accomplishing with ce-
lerity the things they set out to do.
Hurley has discovered in the ship
ping yards lack of proper harmony,
the need of business-like methods
and too great tangle of red tape.
This has been dealt with by Sec
ond shake-up in the emergency board
and mas called western genius into
the most important national service.
The shipbuilding program is now in
the hands of two contractors and
builders of the Great Lakes.
Charles Piez Of Chicago assumes
entire charge nf the construction
work, but he will devote most Of his
time and. attention to steel construc
tion. Mr.. Piez is an executive ol
recognized ability and a successful
business man who has handled larg'
corporations. In making his new ap

REMEMBER THE SOLDIERS

No one of us who is under 60 can
remember another Christmas when
we had a million men in arms. A lot
will be in France this year. How
many do you think? A hundred thou
sands? Two hundred thousand? A
quarter of a million? Maybe SO; or
even more. We shall not know be-
forehand, and may not know precise
ly even when Christmas comes. But
there is every prospect that we shall
have a considerable deputation Of
men in France, and some atthe front,
and some no doubt in hospitals. Here
at home we shall have the national
army and some of the state troops in
a score of big camps, and it is about
these soldiers that we should be
thinking most, doing what we can to
make Christmas merry for them. and
going to visit them il we can make
out to do 1t.
And then their families? Our sol.
diers average pretty young, but good
many ofthem have wives and chill.
dren, some of whom will need sub.
stantial attentions, and all will need
friends to lend a hand and keep
them company. This should be a
busy Christmas; less swapping OF
gifts in families than usual; more
pouring out of effectionate remem
brances to the absent and those they
have left behind.-E. s. Martin in De
cember Good Housekeeping.
