Studebaker Efficiency
Club Resumes Schedule
Prominent Speakers Will Talk
on Leading Topics Of
the Day

The Studebaker Efficiency and Econo-
my Club resumes this month its WIN
ter schedule Of semi-monthly meets.
During the summer the club met only
monthly, but now that vacations are
over the members intend TO start an
even more attractive programme than
last year. Prominent speakers have
agreed to address them on topics OF
the day. One meeting a month will be
given to this outside work, the other
will be devoted 10 purely Studebaker
business.
I. C. Jones. the New York Studebake r
representative and president Of the
club, is enthusiastic over the work il
has done and the programme for the
coming season. He said yesterday that
As far as he knew the club was the
first Of its kind in the retail autono-
bile world. From the very first meet
ing Il has accomplished good work, not
only in securing perfect harmony and
cooperation within the organization.
but in the results 1t has gained for
Studebaker owners.
Everybody in the organization. from
the newly acquired office boy up, is in
vited to the meetings, but primarily i.
Is intended for the statesmen and heads
OF the various departments. II gives
them an opportunity TO talk over and
iron out the differences that may arise
and for the exchange Of ideas on ways
and means for the improvement OF
Studebaker service. Every member
carries a notebook to jot down ideas
that occur TO him between meetings.
Cards are distributed so that all cal.
drop ideas into suggestion boxes, and
these ideas are talked over at the next
meeting.
One Of the many valuable sugges-
tions that has been carried out is in
connection with the service depart
ment, and was proposed by one of the
members of that department. The
day after Studebaker owner
takes his car out Of the service
station letter Is written him request
ing that he indicate on an inclosed
postcard If he is completely satisfied
with the service rendered. Another
letter is written four days later and
then the owner Is called by phone.

deeper. Finally, the tube is pinched
and a blowout always results.
That blowout costs money, for after
IL occurs It is improbable that repair
can be made. Certainly all this diff
fculty and expense can be prevented
with tires kept constantly inflated to
correct pressure. And TO determine
the correct pressure for your tires,
get the advice Of the service station
dealer-let him help you select the
proper pressure by considering the
weight Of your car, the load you carry,
your speed and the condition of the
roads travelled. together with the type
of tire used, whether fabric or cord
tire. Or you may determine this for
yourself by noting the above points
and referring to the imitation pressure
chart shown with this article.
Then keep pressure gauge in your
car, in the repair kit or in your
pocket, but keep it handy-and test all

very likely to weaken and crack around
the entire circumference.
Constant, excessive bending and
fexing not only crack the fabric.
but generate heat to such an extent
that the rubber in the plies Of fabric
weakens and is unable TO hold them
together.
A familiar illustration of the heating
that results from rapid bending is
shown in bending wire backward
and forward 1t soon becomes hot
and breaks. This same wire, however,
could be bent back and forth in long
arc indefinitely without injury. This,
then, is exactly what occurs in a tire
when it is used in an underinhated
condition. Heat is generated, which
deteriorates the rubber between the
plies and weakens the fabric-in the
inside ply frst-gradually extending

If you think that you may have

DON'T oVERSTocK THE
POULTRY YARD

The size of the poultry flock which
can be kept most efficiently will de-
rend first Of all upon the space avail
able, and, secondly, upon the amount
of table scraps or other waste which
is available for feed, say the poultry
specialists Of the Extension Division,
Louisiana State University. It is a
mistake to try to overstock the avail
able space. Better results will be OBJ
tanned from a few hens in small
-ard than from larger number. The
backyard poultry flock rarely Will
consist Of more than 20 or 25 hens,
and in many cases OF not more than
8 or 10, or occasionally Of only or 4.
For a flock of 20 or 25 hens a space
CT not less than 25 by 80 feet should
be available for yard. Where less
space is available,S the size of the
flock should be reduced, allowing on
the average Is to 80 square feet per
bird. A few hens are sometimes kept
successfully with a smaller yard al
lowance than this, but if the space Is
available a yard Of the size indicated
should be used.

DON'T BE DECEIVED
BY A PEDIGREE
Insist That Animals Purchased Have
Qualities of Breed Represented.

Don't be deceived by a pedigree
but insist that animals purchased
have the essential qualifications Of
the particular breed represented, is
the suggestion Of ]. B. Francioni. of
the Extension Division. Louisiana
State University, to purchasers Of
registered hogs.
There are hundreds Of pedigrasA
scrub hogs IN Louisiana and they
constitute q menace to the swine in
dustry," says Mr.. Francioni. al
though pedigrees and registration pa
pera are necessary to the swine
breeder, yet they are sometimes
means Of decsivlng the purchaser
many Of whom seem to believe that q
pedigree is ia itself indisputable evil
dencs of quality and superior worth;
The facts are, however, that many
registered hogs through lack Of care
and attention have degenerated into
mere scrubs and have no place in q
arst-class herd"

If certain tabooed article of liq-

can well be said that coffee and
the best of good cooking made Ope-
lousas equally famous.
Among the large NUMBER of good
cooks and coffee makers in this city,
none have any "edge" on "Uncle

ing forth in the city market for many
years. His place is the rendezvous
for all thelovers of the famous black

he makes every day, from before
daylight in the morning until long
after dark.
Joe's coffee is considered the best
in the land, but in the linee of eat
ing, the famous stew he cooks is just
about the best to be had, and that it
is liked by many is attested by the
ever increasing number Of patrons
who make Joe's life miserable by
calling on him for stew and still

ing and we were told to prepare for
supper in gypsy fashion. 1t was i
lovely scene; the moon was shining
brightly, the fires glowing and all
gathered around to prepare supper.
Afterwards sitting about the fires
telling ghost stories until time to de-
part was the order Of the day.
All good things must come to end,
however, so on Friday, the 18th,
Col. Boyd met with us and made a
splendid address, assuring US it had
been a pleasure to have US at the
University and presented each GER
tificate by L. S. U. in recognition OF
our work, so that we might bring
it home, have it framed and hung in
our Office and our people could see
what we had been doing in the four
weeks of absence from the parish.
A rising vote of thanks was given to
Col. Boyd Jour state agent and all
who so courteously assisted in the
short course. All feel that much bet

be done as a result of better I'M

The other "stews' turned the heads

EVEN SOME GOOD IN THE
STATE BOARD OF AFFAIRS
,ditnr az The Star-Propress /:

Editor of The Star-Progress:
Now that everybody is damning
the State Board of Affairs, viii you
please be kind enough to publish
this communication evidencing that
I was one Of the few men in public
life that opposed its creation. / OPP
posed it in the legislature. l oppos-
ed it before the people. The city
papers will attest these facts. Here
at home, called a meeting at the
court house, and pointed out to the
taxpayers what would be the result
of its adoption. st. Landry voted
against it. The country voted against
it; but the ward bosses, as usual,
turned the trick. 1t is a ward boss
baby. / am indeed surprised to hear
them inveigh against it. They assist
ed in passing it through the legisla-
ture, and thereafter at the polls
rubbed it in upon the country. AS
one who opposed the measure, l can
truthfully assert that it has some re-
deeming features. 1t has made some
tax-dodgers pay their just proper
ton of taxes. Col. Stubs is shin
ing example.
Here in this parish it made the as
SCISSOR treat the city and country
alike. The people in 0pelousas were
paying taxes upon a fifty per cent
assessment; the people outside its
limits were paying on a ten or flf-
teen per cent basis. The Board made
them all line up. The assessor had
to treat all alike. He could not play
the country against the city, and
make one living in the city pay taxes
on an assessment Of $4,000 upon a
$4,000 property, while his neighbor
in the country would pay taxes on an
assessment of $500 upon property
worth $4,000.
For this relief, much thanks.
l objected to an hundred per cent
valuation for the reason local sub
divisions would take advantage OF
this raise land assess upon that ba-
sis, and they did. And l said give
the legislature more revenue and 1t
will waste it. And it did. That body
of which / am an humble member,
will spend all the revenue it can lay
its hands on. When it domestic spend
ing the peoples money, the twenty
four representatives from Orleans
take first place. Increase of Of
ficers' salaries is with them a mania.
They believe in increased salaries all
the way down from Justices Of the
Supreme Court to City Judge. And
they Just can not understand why it
is that the country people oppose
this increase.
But to return to the Board of

landowners pay their just proportion
