Furthermore, Studebaker has concentrated on
the development of single basic chassis design.
The entire attention of Studebakers highly eff

This means still higher quality and still greater

These are the reasons why Studedaker IS able to
produce so good a car at so low price.

Motoring Department, The News

model. has been run about 1000
miles and the engine overheats so
much that l can hardly use il. The
motor has not had the power it used
to have. and picks up owly. IL is
equipped with high tension magnetic
and thermo-siphon cooling system.
The radiator is kept clean and re-
filled about every month as the car
is not used more than 800 miles a
month. At present there is a very
light deposit Of carbon in the cyl
inder chamber. IT was burned out
two months ago when the valves
were regrOund. Am using a me-
dunn grade of oil and keep the case
well filled. The compression seems
fairly good. but why should the en-
CINE overhead so much?

The trouble may be due to clog

the radiator is not sufficient to clean
it. Provide two pounds of washing

heat OF the explosion. This glowing

Wilson is the oldest executive to pre-

crossed since the inauguration of
Buchanan in 1857.
Incidentally the president is one of
the six oldest executives ever in the
White House. Previous to 1861 the

are all wondering who will get it.
The white dress which will be worn
by the girl will be given by John
