HIGH PRAISE GIVEN
STEWART SPEED0METER
G.. M. C. Truck Driver De-
clares in Favor of the
Stewart Warner.

Probably no stronger praise fer a

than was given few days ago by
William Warwick. pilot q the trans
continental G. NJ G. truck, which a! 81
rived in Seattle recently after it's tour
across the continent to New York city
and return Warwick declared that
in his belief tho Stewart-W Warner in
strument had established a new ac-
curate mileage record during the try
ing trip.
"Of five different instruments
which | used, the Stewart Warner was
the only one to give me entire salts
faction" said Warwick. 1--WE testel
It. after leaving Seattle, in Minncap-
oils. Chicago, New York city. Kansas
City and Denver. and not once did II
vary. The mileage for the National
Parks Transcontinental highway was
one Of the things we wished to deter
mine and the instrument checke A
within one-third of a mile of the ac-
:ual survey, covering 3,640 miles.
"The instrument was under water
twice: shaken many times Sc badly
that we couldnt read the figures on
It. and, with the truck, passed thru
one cloudburst, plunged thru mud
holes and crashed thru more than
forty bridges, yet on our arrival IN
Seattle it was recording Just as accu-
rately rs when we started out.
could not conceive of a more tryin,,
test for any instrument, and tho
showing which it made was sur
Prise to me, despite my great faith in
Stewart Warner products.

NEW FEATURES NOW
ON COLE "8" MODELS
Top and Side Curtain I'M
provements Are Among the
Important Changes.

The motorists. who In previous
years have experienced all Of the in
conNenlences which attended the ad-
lustment Of makeshift side-curtains
ana faDrlc tops OF the average sort
greet with emphatic approval the
modern equipment which the Cole Mo
TOR Car company is furnishing with
It's 1917 touring cars and roadsters.
For several months the Cole COM
pany has had its designers busy on
evolving something distinctive and
serviceable in the way of real one
man top and side curtains which
would work quickly and effectively
AS the result of their ondeavors, the
Cole one-man top, las IL is now of
fered. is claimed to be one OF the
most easily operated, as well as eff
cient, tops ever placed ON the market.
The new Cole top folds and unfolds
almost automatically When raised
over the car IL is securely clamped
down to the windshield by new type
Of automatic fastener. which requires
no extra bolts screws or other equip
ment. When the top is to he lowered
all that Is necessary is the pressing of
small metal button and the top is

which had held il igidly to the top
of the windshield.
The side-curtainS fold away into
neat pockets under the top, which
are so arranged that the curtains are
in the most accessible position for the
one who desires to use them Another
advantage is that they are supported
at the doors py steel rods, an arrange
ment which makes it possible to open
and shut those portions OF the cur
tain over the entrances to the car
simply by opening and closing the
doors They have all the conVeniences
of the upper door panel, which is
made integral with the lower half of
the door
A series of Cellulold- covered light
apertures give fun vision at both sides
and the back of the car when the
cIrtaius are in place, and thereby
many of the Inconvenience formerly
associated with the driving Of ears
with side-curtains up are eliminated.
Either side of the car may be pro
tected with the side-curtains inde-
pendently of other side. And, il Is
pointed out. that this is a decided i'm
prurcmcnt on some of the old types
The new top and side-curtains of
the cole eight are only two of the
many modern Improvements which
have been worked into the construc-
ton of rhe 1917 line. For this reason
the cole company claims that the cole
eight marks an entirely new step for

CENSURE PUBLIC FOR
FREIGHT CONGESTION
Manufacturers Assert That
Carriers Have Been Unduly
Harrassed.

Attention has recently been called

IN the automobile industry-ore fCa-
ture If the national food-fuel freight

been estimated that the value Of the
Dctroit-made motor cars held up Or

Various explanations for this crisis
have been made but no one in the
automobile industry has gone moro

Of the Paigc-Detroit Motor Car COM
pany

We In the automobile business are,

serious preGicamcnt. Millions of dol
lars worth Of cars are now in storage
In Detroit because they can't be
shipped. The summer dr!Veaway day
has become a daily winter feature,
and dealers TO secure deliveries are
coming to the factory and driving
their cars home, in some instances
more than five hundred miles away.
Raw materials, parts. supplies OF all
kinds have been held up in transit
end therefore production has sur.
fered. That IS the autom obile situ9-
tion in brief, but, as everyone knows.
It represents but n fraction of the
country wide impasse
"NOw while this condition is due
directly to inadequate transportation
facilities, !, for one, refuse to make
the railroads the goat. For n quarter
Of a century II has been the popular
sport IN America to damn the rail-
roads and publis service corporations
factors IN our daily life that are
just as necessary as the food ana fuel
we are clamoring for. For a quarter
ot.s, century il has been the delight of

freight rates in this country are the
cheapest per ton per mile OF any IN
the world.
THE railroads are the publlc's IA
vorite goat, while the public service

best features by continually improving,
refining and erfecting-through the
experience of a motor in actual service.
This is why Studebaker can truthfully
claim that the design of its motor is
unsurpassed in simplicity, accessibility
and power. BY the refinement of re-
ciprocating parts, vibration has been
reduced to an almost undesirable min
imum.
The bearing areas of the motor have
been enlarged and increased, giving
greater durability, more strength, still
further insuring smooth vibrationless
operation.
But you cannot appreciate the splen-
did POWER of the Studebaker car un-
til you TRY it.
