Real Comfort in Motor Car
Means More Than Cushions

Comfort in the motor car has been
thing of slow growth" says L. j..
Ollier, vice president and director of
sales of the Studebaker corporation.
In the days when cars were ma
chimes instead of vehicles, bodily COM
fort was less than a secondary con-
sideration-the mechanics of the con-
glomeration of steel and glass and
wire were the first thought Nova
days, with the motive units and run
ming gear developed to a point where
they no longer are a source of worry,
car owners have become more appre-
ciative 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?" l am afraid that the average
motor car buyer looks upon comfort
as being associated with the depth
and righteousness of the cushions and
upholstery only. Surely it is more
than that In designing the new series
Is Studebaker cars we considered
both driver and passengers. Our ef-
forts have been directed along a num-
Der of different lines, but to the one
end-comfort.
Power first of all, heads the list IS
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 we'll on good roads-but
for complete relaxation the motoriSt
wants an automobile with plenty of re-
serve power to meet all of the emer-
Gencies 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 road car, one tina you can sit
in, keep two fingers on the wheel and
bowl along at 25 or so miles an hour
and not keep fussing around with
pedals and levers. That's why we talk
so much about Studebaker reliability
You don't have to drive tit runs!
Leg room is another mighty i'm
purtant feature of the comfortable
car; room for persons of any size or
height to stretch out in and feel us
free and easy as if in their favorite
chair at home. The front seats of
Studebaker cars are individual and
made to conform perfectly to the con-
tour of the passengers back. They
are really form fitting. Both of these
seats are adjustable, for and aft, and
the seat next to the drivers is rever-
sible. Occupant may ride facing either
forward or the tonneau-another eX-
elusive Studebaker comfort idea"

DIXONIZING THE
1916 RACING SEASON

In the 81 races that were held in
the 1916 season under the auspices of
the American Automobile association
contest board, 49S cars started, of
which 491 were fabricated with Dix
on's graphite automobile lubricants, 112
If the 113 racing drivers used Dix
on's lubricants.
The American Automobile associa-
ton contest board awarded 20,930
points out of possible 22,72O points
to speed kings who used DiXon's lub-
"cants.
Dario Rcsta. the champion, John Ait
ken the runner up, and Eddie Rick
enbackcr, the third man in the cham
pionship contest, together won 10,450
points, or nearly half of the total
points awarded. All these men use
and highly recommend DiXon's lubri-
eants
The Peugeot cars which Resta and
Aitkcn drove throughout the season
finished in first place Is times. The
average speed of these i races was
1922 miles per hour.
There was not man of the 112
drivers that started that did not use
Dixon's graphite automobile lubricants
purely on their merits and for no other
reason whatsoever.
Racing is the supreme test for any
Iubricant-it's the last word. the de-
termining factor. A lubricant which
has successfully withstood the Cruel
ling test that Dixon's lubricants have
in the 1916 season and in previous
seasons should be considered the king
Of them ALL Dixon's have stood pure
~ on merit. They are supreme.
The greatest element that has to be
,ontended with in automobile racing
as in any other form of automobile
driving is friction. DiXon's lubricants
practically eliminate friction and save
The wear and tear on cars.
Owners of all classes of cars will
find that by using DiXon's graphite
automobile lubricants, friction, which
sends their ears to an early grave,
will be minimized their cars will run
much smoother, last much longer and
repair and fuel bills will be reduced.

MAXWELL CROSSES.
FLORIDA SWAMP IN
A REMARKABLE RUN
Detroit Driver Pilots Car
From Jacksonville to
Tampa, a Distance of 276
Miles, for Record Mark.

Taking a route that involved the
risk of sinking out of sight in the
great Withlachoochee swamp in CEN
trail Florida if his motor stopped,
Percy w. Gibbs, Detroit automobile
driver, last week established a re-
markable new motor car speed and en-
durance record for the 276 miles be-
tween Tampa and Jacksonville and at
tanned the distinction of having been
the first man to cross Florida's sec
ond greatest bog locality in an auto
mobile.
Riding in the car with Gibbs was
Byron West proprietor and editor of
the Florida Times Union, one Of the
foremost good roads workers in Flor
ida, who asserted after the run
had been finished that the trip opened
up the possibility of developing in the
swamp the greatest adventure field in
America for motorists.
Gibbs used a Maxwell touring car
on the run and he carried three pas
sengers besides himself. In addition
to the newspaper editor there was an
other Jacksonville newspaper man in
the car and representative of the
good roads committee of the Jack
sonville Chamber of Commerce.
Gibbs left Jack sonville at l a. m.
and was in Tampa at the start of the
business day. The total distance COW
cred was PIG miles, and this his car
negotiated without car or motor stop.
His average for the run was approx
imately 40 miles an hour.
GUIDED BY INDIAN.
The route through the % miles Of
swamp was made with the aid of Il
Seminole Indian native and guide, who
piloted the car from high spot to high
spot and whose final caution to the
driver was to avoid allowing the car
to stop at any point within the water
logged district. Frequently the car
was in water holes two feet deep.
while water stretches axle deep often
continued a half mile or more. There
is no sign of life in the JINGLE other
than the alligators, their native reptile
companions and the tropical birds.
The Withlachoochee swamp lies
northeast of Dade City, above the
Withlachoochee river, and the district
is second only to the Everglades as an
impenetrable bog district. Gibbs
crossed the swamp in darkness, using
two extra regulation headlights at
tached to his windshield to light up
the trail the Indian had marked out.
1t was asserted that still higher
speed average could have been at

banks frequently encountered in the
orange and grapefruit localities dur
ing the night, these arising from
smudge fires maintained by the citrus
growers to protect against occurrences
