PRIZE ON WEIGHT
Laws of GraVitati0n Applied
to New Series 19 Light
Six for Balance.

Many years ago the noted scien-
tist. Sir Isaac Newton. propounded
his famous laws Of motion. one OF
which is TO the enect that for

the chassis. on the rigid and strong
rear engine supports and sub-frame.
Two purposes are thus served in the
perfect balance of the light-six.
There being very little load carried
directly above the rear wheels il has
been possible for ~Studebaker TO pro-
vide an unusually roomy body on
the comparatively short wheelbase
of 119 inches. That is why the Light
Six comfortably seats three large
adults in its with perfect
ease and plenty of room 20 stretch
out. and yet not throw more than
the proportionate share OF the load
on the two rear wheels. Then, too.
bv concentrating the dead load az
the ENTER OF the chassis. the fexi-
bility of the chassis side members

trail point Of support 10 real wheels,
added 10 the normal action Of the
extra long semi-elIiptic springs.
gives added protection to all moving
parts and saves the passengers from
sudden shocks and twists by alb
sorbing all the inequalities Of the
road.
The difference in the effect pro-
duced from concentrating the
weight at a central point or divid-
ing it so that a greater part OF il
comes directly over the rear wheels.
Is much the same as the difference
experienced from jumping on a
spring board at its mid-point be
tween two rigid supports, and jump
irg upon the board directly above
either of the supports. In one case
there is the soft. easy spring action
Of the board and in the other case
there is the sudden Earring and
singing effect coming from absolute
rigidiiy.
The result of eliminating the un-
sprung weight. and erecting a per
feet balance over the four wheels
means increased tire mileage. longer
life aXles. bearing. gears. cts, and
much greater comfort to passengers.
Because Of the absence of any
great load at either end of the
chassis of the light-six. practically
ali tendency TO side-sway or whip
from one side of the road 10 the
other is eliminated. The center Of
the load being in the enter Of the
chassis there is no difficulty what
ever for the driver of a S~tudebaker
light-siN TO keep his car in the road
at all times. OF course, without the
ability TO construct a car as light
in weight as the new series 10 Stu

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12-A report of the downfall and subsequent reseat- ing of the Tschaikovsky government at Archangel was received today by the state department. Officials here said that until the government of all Russia is established, such events were to be expected, as the people are ardent politicians. with different fac tions seeking control.
 Tschaikovsky and five or six other members of the government were over thrown by rival faction at Arch angel on September s. They were turned over to group of the late soviet members who are occupying an island off Archangel. This was done, it was believed here, more to keep them out of the way than to do them personal injury, for this remnant of the soviet government is regarded as en- tirelv innocuous.
 After the arrests report was made to the representatives of the entente nations at ArChangel. The victors of this political skirmish, it is under stood here, were not hostile to the en- tente or to Russia welfare, but simply They are anti German and anti bol- shevik and have their own plan for the rehabilitation of Russia.
 The representatives of the allies at Archangel believing, however. that the Tschaikovsky government was best equipped and organized to aid in the saving of Russia, demanded that Tschaikovsky and his colleagues be restored to power As this has been done. the incident is regarded as closed
