Motor Cars

sible flaws in design and construc-
ton. Minor refinement followed.
"studebaker engineers. however.
did not stop there. Before APPROX
ing these new cars for production
the experimental cars were driven
and pounded over the worst noun
tain roads Of Pennsylvania. New
York, the New England states.
northern Michigan and Canada. The
engineers on this test trip, which
covered a distance OF 10000 miles.
tried 70 break the cars-actually
made a desperate attempt TO push
them so hard they would go 10
pieces.
Here's an illustration that is typi-
cal OF the rough usage given the
new Studebakers. In covering the
roads Of northern Michigan during
the worst winter weather, the engi-
neers were given an opportunity to
test the springs Of their cars TO the
limit Of their endurance. AT one
place, where the going was over the
corduroy and sawdust roads of the
Jack pine plains of the famous lum-
Der days, one OF the cars plunged
into a hidden mudhole and snapped
a spring. Such a thing was not un-
forseen. II was. in fact, just what
the engineers were looking for
they were forcing the cars through
this gruelling test expressly TO bring
any possible defects. After a thor
ough examination at the factory, IL
was determined TO change the speci-
fications OF these springs. Undoubt-
edly the springs first used would
have proved ample in every way TO
stand up and give service anywhere
but il is our policy TO provide for
the unseen emergency.
Then, TO determine the ability OF
these new cars to withstand wear
and tear on all moving parts during
period of average life in an own
er's hands. the three models were
taken 10 the Chicago speedway for
terrific mid-winter drive. Here
each car was driven at high speed
for a distance Of 10000 miles. And
this mileage. under ordinary cir
cumstances, would equal eight to 10
years OF continued service in the
owners hands. Yet in disassem-
bling these cars. at the completion
of test. we found surprisingly little
depreciation. And not once. at any
time during the 30.O0O-mile grind.
was it necessary to take car off the
track because Of mechanical trou-
BILE.
with such rigorous tests IS
these, one would think engineers
could ask for nothing more-but
they do. Every car is tested and
carefully inspected by experts be-
fore leaving our factories. There's
a final inspection OF each individual
car before placing II in the hands
OF its owner"

TESTS THAT MAKE
OR BREAK NEW CAR
Studebaker Vice President
Gives Interesting Data on
Testing "19" Output.

"A test on a speedway by a spe-
cially prepared car driven by vet
eran race driver certainly does not
test the kind OF a car that a pur-
chaser buys" says l.. J. Ollier, vice
president and director OF sales OF
Studebaker corporation, in discuss
ing the value OF methods used by
automobile makers In the testing out
OF new models.
But" continues Mr.. Ollier,
there is not the slightest doubt as
10 the value OF genuine road tests
under conditions that approximate
those under which a car would be
driven during Its life in an actual
owners hands. Most any car makes
e good appearance when II is new
most any car can be specially built
and tuned 10 make an enviable race
track record-but # is in the test Of
actual performance that an automo-
bile proves up.
NO more convincing illustration
could be cited 20 prove the value OF
factory road tests than the amazing
performance of the three new series
10 Studebaker cars. No motor
cars. TO my knowledge. have ever
been subjected TO such downright
abuse and punishment. Surely
never has an owner. no matter
where he might live or tour, ever
asked his car TO do as much.
After months OF study on the
plans for our new cars. in which
each u our own highly trained en-
CINE participated, together with
some OF the ablest men in the III
dustry, we felt sure that nothing
had been left undone that would
contribute TO the mechanical per
lection OF what we know now 20 be
the last word in motor car construc-
ton.
But a car tHat looks good on
paper doesn't always measure up 20
expectations in the final assembly.
Our engineers take nothing for
granted. So exhaustive laboratory
tests were made TO determine Just
what the steel for each part OF the
new cars should consist OF. Then
we built our experimental cars and
put them TO every test known to au-
tomobile engineers, TO bring out pos

Very often trouble with the
carburetor can be eliminated by
removing the pipe line and
cleaning. Usually there is
strainer at the base OF the car
buretor, or at some point in the
pipe line. This strainer or trap
frequently becomes clogged TO
such an extent that the car
buretor does not obtain suffic-
lent flow OF gasoline. Before
changing the adjustment of the
carburetor IL Is advisable to
determine whether there are any
distractions and remove same
from the line.

Times-Before stopping my car 1
always speed up a little to fill the
engine with rich mixture for starting
and then turn the ignition off. When
the engine stops there is a waste Of
gas through the carburetor air in

remedy could you suggest? This is

Your engine has a long inlet man
fold in which a small quantity Of
the gasoline condenses and runs
down. While running. the rush Of
air keeps ii up, but when the sue
ton stops the gasoline runs out.

through the columns Of the motor
ing department of your paper IF
could or could not get better re-
suits and a saving Of gasoline with
more power by converting this hot
water jacketed manifold into a hot
air jacketed manifold through pipe
arrangement from the exhaust pipe
direct into manifold. II you could
advise this. would IT be necessary to
pipe at two different connections for
circulation. or would enough heat be
obtained from one connection? / am

vice on these particulars will be
greatly appreciated.
A READER.
There is danger of overheating the
gas and so reducing the amount
drawn into the cylinders, with re-
sulting loss OF power. Use two pipes
and place a valve in one which you
can control from the seat TO make
slight changes when necessary.
Such a device would help a great
deal to warm engine in cold weather.

COACH EXQNERATED IF
 KILLING OF MAGILL

Charles Coach, who shot United States Commissioner c. Magill at Ke- mai several weeks ago, while the lat ter was resisting arrest following his killing of Paddy Ryan, was exoner- ated by coroner's jury. Coach, how ever, insisted that he be taken before the grand jury to be exonerated, and he is now in custody of Deputy Mar shal Harrington at Seldovia. Coach will be taken to Valdez from Seldovia on the first steamer.
 At the coroner's investigation of the double tragedy at Kenai a verdict was brought in that Ryan came to his death from gunshot wounds inflicted by Magill, The verdict severely cen sCred Magill. The next day the cor oner's jury examined into the death of Magill and returned a verdict of justifiable homicide, death being caused by two gunshot wounds in- fiicted by Coach, one shot in the heart and the other in the head. Twelve witnesses testified that Magill died re- sisting arrest.

 Virtually every Y M. c. A. in the army camps now has adopted this sort of work in it's educational department as the result of the success achieved here. MT.

WAR'SPROGRESS EXPLAINED ID
 CAMP SOLDIERS

CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, April 29.- What's happening over there?" is the most common question asked by the soldiers at Camp Lewis of a civil ian, and the biggest topic of conver- sation when a crowd of men gets to- gether during the evening or between drills
 The men have not the time to read all the news dispatches from France in the newspapers. Their days are taken up with drill and their evenings with study of amusements But they want to know what is going on over- seas.
 This was one of the things the Y. M. c. A. discovered when they started their high school classes at the beginning of their work here. Men did not want to learn grammar, geom- etry, history and Latin, the secretar- ies learned. They wanted to study French, learn the geography of the country where they may be expected to do their share, and they wanted to learn all about the war from day to day, the meaning of various phases of battle and the strategy of move ments of the allies and the Germans.
 J. B. Coan, educational secretary of building No, G. is the man who soIvad this problem for the Y. M. c. A. here. and for the association work in all the camps of the United States. Coan does all the reading on war subjects for the men. He has drawn a large map which adorns the wall of the as- sociation building, and a battle line designated by pins and various bits Of colored cardboard is changed from day to day as troop movements are an- nounced and the offensive is carried back and forth.
 Coan also reads every magazine ar t1cle he can find bearing on the war and the strategy of the French front, and whenever there is a group of men gathered around the war map he may be found in its center, pointing out places of interest in the days news. He describes the nature of the coun- try in which the battles are being fought, explains the strength of the
