statement recently prepared by Lieut.. Col. Chauncey B. Baker of the quartermaster corps, United States army, and distributed to the railroads Iof the country by the special commit tee on national defense of the American Railway association, says that to move one field army of S0,000 men requires a total of 6229 cars-passenger, baggage, box, stock and fiat cars-made up in ooo trains, with as many locomotives.
 When it becomes a matter of moving an army of 500,000 or 1,000,000 men, just imagine the equipment that will be requiredl
 The above figures are for the army alone-the men, animals, vehicles and guns. When you begin also to move the ammunition and food supplies for the army, think how much the re- quirement for railroad equipment mounts up
 Naturally, government business will have the right of way and commercial traffic will be held up. For sometime business has been growing about freight congestion. When the armies begin to move-or better still, before they begin to move-business men find some effectua1 means to relieve the sit uation, if business is to continue as nearly normal as possible.
 It will not be enough for commercial houses to anticipate their needs and buy their supplies as far in advance as possible; 1t will not be enough for them to avoid wasting car space by

ARM MARKET FOR
 PASSENGER CARS
 SPLENDID FIELD
Lawrence Pennington Be- lieves This Phase of Motor Car Industry Most
 Promising

1 The farm market for passenger cars
 always great factor in the motor car industry, assumes greater importance | than ever this season.
 ] "The promise of abundant harvests. with possibly worlds record for oats, and the prevailing war conditions make the potentialities of the farm market greater
 than they have ever been in the history of our industry" says Lawrence Penning- ton of the local Detroit Motor Car con-
 pany. Already 10 per cent of all the
 motor cars in America are owned by l farmers. this large proportion being due to the great utitarian value of a pas senger car The farmer finds thousand and one uses for an automobile Give l him financial ease and he will buy lib- erally-
 1 "The manufacturers or passenger cars
 are fully alive to the sseuation and, while they will in no way curtail their dis | trbution to cities or neglect the city buyer they will pay especial attention | to the farmer. There will undoubtedly be great activity in the fall in this direc- l ton.
 like any other manufacturer, wants to increase his sales and broaden his mar ket. he feels that in supplying the farmer with good servceable car he is doing a distinct service to the country in q constructive and economic sense. '"The production and distribution of food has become one of our greatest prob lems. We must have more food, greater crops and better distribution; and we must conserve and avoid waste. Here is where the ultiitarian and economic value of the passenger car plays a big part Five acres of tillable land are required to support horse; three acres to support man. If each automobile takes the place
 of only one span of horses the 270O.0oa
 cars in use release 37,0o00o0 acres of land
 for production offoodstuffs for more than
 +, 100000 men--the total force employed in
 the war by all the allies
 The passenger car on the farm does
 release the horse either entirely or so
 that it can be put to work in the field
 while errands are being done by the car
 or light produce taken to the market
 Motorizing the farm Is the biggest step
 that can be taken in the direction of effi- cient and economic food production. The
 passenger car is the farmers most vau- able helper and hence 1t Is going to play a larger part than ever in our efforts to make this country strong for the great tasks before it." concluded MT. Penning- ton.

UNDERSTAND COOLING
 SYSTEM OF THE AUTO
Half Baked knowledge of This Phase of Motor Car Mechanism
 Disastrous

Understand thoroughly the cooling sys- tenn of your automobile, is the advice or c. L. Hedges, manager of technical ser vice of the Haynes Automobile company, who says that a half baked Knowledge of this phase of motor car mechanism often results in perplexities that other wise well might be avoided
 "The cooling system on the Haynes Light Twelve is of the forced circula- tion type with a capacity of seven gal Ions and the water is propelled by means of centrifugal pump" says MT. Hedges. "A thermostat, in the water pump intake pipe controls a valve which permits the water to circulate through the cylinder jackets so that the motor is operating at the most favorable temperatures at all times. The thermostat is similar in appearance and principle to an accordion, and is filled with a liquid which vapor- izes on being heated, the pressure that this gas exerts on the retaining walls causing elongation"
 Cleaning and rinsing the radiator is an operation which no motorist should neg feet, says MT. Hedges. It is best done by circulating city water under normal pres- sure through the motor jackets and radi- ator in the reverse directions to the cir culatory action of the pump; that is the water is forced from the bottom of the radiator to the top and from the top of the cylinder jackets to the bottom. Tn the case of the cylinders, the connec- tion must be made so the pump is not in the circuit, as this will offer resist ance to free passage of the water.
 To clean out the cooling system. Mir Hedges recommends saturated solution of common washing soda. The solution should be put in the motor when it IS warm, and the motor run until 1t Is thoroughly heated. After giving suf- ficient time for the solution to act upon the deposits, 1t should be drawn off and the system thoroughly washed out

MOTORISTS LEAN ID ROADSTERS NOW
 SAYS MAXWELL
Business Houses and Pro- fessional Men Who Want Economy and Ease
 Prefer Roadsters

N There is probably not another automo- @olie in the country today which Is as adaptable to the use of physicians and statesmen of commercial houses, public
 utilities and manufacturers as the road
 in Studebaker cars. And, after a careful
 check of our sales records, I feel safe in saying there is probably not another
 roadster in as general use among these
 classes of professional and business men
 as the Studebaker.
 The roadster is the ideal car for the
 doctor who must answer calls at any
 hour of the day or night It is always
 ready for service and, on an errand of
 mercy where speed and performance
 count for so much, the doctors car must
 be dependable. Every part of the Stude-
 baker roadster is so easy to get at that
 We have found the average owner thor oughly competent 10 take care of it. rs A big institution of any standing
 nowadays sends representatives to it's
 clients of whom they are proud and it
 must have motor car equipment on which
 1t can depend. And the roadster is bound
 to increase efficiency because it enables
 each man to cover wider territory see
 more customers and turn in more busi-
 ness.
 'T have in mind an instance which Aproves the value of the roadster for busi- Nness purposes. One of this country's yargest public service corporations after I an exhaustive test of several makes of cars. extending over period of three years, has installed a fleet of 5 Stude-
 bakers because it's figures proved that Studebaker cars actually cost less to op-
 crate and maintain than any other make
 of car. In addition to the actual saving
 of money, they standardized their eauip- ment throughout and gave their repre- sentatives motor cars so handsome and dignified in appearance that the added prestige to the house was of inestimable value.
 The roadster gives the salesman his big opportunity to beat his own sales records. It enables him to close more sales because he can cover wider ter ritory and see more customers. His car is so accessible that he can take care of il himself, and under the rear deck of the Studebaker he has plenty of room for his sample cases, personal baggage, etc. Bad streets, steep hills or bad weather are no obstacle to his car-and he does not have to depend upon street cars, railroad trains or taxicabs to keep his appoint ments
 The beautiful, refined and dignified lines of the Studebaker roadster make it popular among women who drive It is so easy to harde and operate in crowded city traffic or on the open country road.
