By H. a. Biggs

Corporation

) When the Studebaker Corporation
decided to invest s15,0oo.o00 in a
great, modern automobile plant for
manufacturing the new Light-Six, it
upset a tradition in the motor car in
drstry. Tradition would have sug-
gested the erection Of small plant or
Of devoting q part of our present fac
tory equipment to the manufacture Of
this new model, expanding our .facili-
ties as the demand for the car in
creased. That, in fact, was the way it
used to be done in the younger days of
the automobile industry.
However. the only tradition which
Studebaker has recognized is the
making Of its own traditions. This
policy has held true not only Of engi-
neering. but also sas regards construc
tion work, manufacturing. selling and
service methods. This spirit has been
the chief factor in the progress Of the
company.
There is an interesting parallel be-

in South Bend and the new Light-Six
When the idea of this lightweight quail

was first conceived our construction de-
partment began to work on plans for
its home. About the time the design
was completed plans for a great fac

the continent over the Lincoln High

Motor-Buying Public
Attitude Is Changed
Mechanical Perfection Now Is
Preferred to Mechanical
Excellence
By Ralph Kaye
KisseI Motor Car Company, Hurt
ford, Wis.

While originally the automobile was
regarded and referred TO as machine,
it has come to be more and more re-
garded as a amily carriage or per-
sonal carrier, exemplifying the taste
and ideas of quality, character and de-
sign held by the owner.
This change has become apparent of
late through the many conveniences
and comforts which the automobile
manufacturer has installed in his prod
urt.
1t was only a short time ago that
the automobile was a machine, built
poses. At that time practically all
Of the manufacturers attention was
concentrated on mechanical parts Of
the automobile. devoting most Of his
study and experiments to perfecting
the car as q speedy, reliable machine.
Very little thought was given to the
comfort Of It's occupants or even to it's
appearance.
The type Of car dependent entirely
upon its mechanical merits without re-
gard to style and appearance is CIV
ing way to the finished motor car, de-
signed and built for body comfort and
pleasing appearance.
TO produce the type Of automobile
wanted by critical motor car buyers
of to-day demands that the manufac-
turer not only install all the modern
conveniences, accoutrements and ap-
pointments especially designed for the
purpose, but he must adopt those
features out of the usual which up to
very short time ago were found only
on custom made motor cars.
That this is the type Of car the
notor-buying public wants has been
proved ever since the superiority of
the custom-built job has become known
to the American public. Style and dis
tinction, which has always been an
American characteristic, has been ex-
pected in the automobile, necessitatine
the motor car passing from the field Of
mechanical excellence to one Of me-
chanical perfection.

Hutchinson Says Merchan-
dising Methods of Larger
Automobile Makers Must

By o. C.. Hutchinson
General Sales Manager, Hupp Motor
Cor Company

1t is not disclosing trade secrets to
state that the merchandising policy of
many of the larger automobile manu-
facturers will soon undergo radical re-
vision.
Emphasis has been given in past sea-
sons to the need for more and still
more dealers in the field. Now in such
organizations as the Hupmobile, where
scientific analysis has been made of
national distribution, the tendency is
to retain and not increase the present
number of dealers, but to advance the
efficiency and prosperity of those now
representing the Comfort Car"
In deciding upon this policy, due re-
gard has been given by the Hupp Cor
poration to the 100 per cent increase
in production to be got within three
years as result of the building and
expansion program already commenced.
1t is realized, however, that even such
an expansion will fail to satisfy the

Warns Against
Use of Kerosene
In Touring Car
Chief Engineer of Dodge
Brothers Tells Why This
Fuel Works Out Unsatis-
factorily for Road Use
By Russel HUFF
Chief Engineer, Dodge Brothers

Motor car owners here and there are
considering the use Of kerosene as
substitute for gasoline. At the very
outset l consider it advisable to warn
any owner of Dodge Brothers motor
car that the chances arc that any at
tempt to substitute kerosene as fuel
will prove disastrous. He may possibly
go along nicely for fifteen or twenty
miles on long, uninterrupted stretch
of country road, provided his speed is
high enough to call for the maximum
power of the engine, with a resultant
maximum generation Of heat.
But the minute he stops long enough
to let the engine cool, or tries to oper-
ate in traffic, he will encounter trouble.
In order to burn kerosene in an en-
gine it is necessary to have a great
abundance of heat. Otherwise the
kerosene, which is heavier than gaso-
line, will not vaporize. Instead, part
Of it burns and the other part, in the
form Of small globules, collects on the
piston head and walls of the cylinder.
These globules might work past the
rings and down into the crank case,
thereby diluting the oil 80 quickly that
frequent changes Of the oil would be
necessary to avoid burned-out bearings
and scored cylinders.
The change would have to be made so
often, in fact, that the additional ex-
pense of cylinder oil would more than
offset the saving obtained by the sub
stitution of kerosene for gasoline.
There is about 20 per cent reduc-
tion of power with the use of kerosene.
which would be vital consideration
same device for road purposes. More
over, as is always true in the case of
kerosene consumption, even in en-
glnes designed for it's use, it is neces-
sary to start with gasoline and run for
several minutes to arrive at the proper
temperature. This means that motor
ist would have to equip his car with
an extra tank, one for gasoline and one
for kerosene, not to speak of the
equally necessary extra pipe line to the
carburetor and the extra shut-off valve, |
The great objection to kerosene for
road use is its non-fexibility. 1t is |
entirely too troublesome in starting and
stopping. From the fact that ordinary
city driving requires only from five to
twelve horsepower, it may be readily |
seen how difficult it would be to main
tain temperature sufficient to insure
complete vaporization. Until the proper
had been attained in the
carburetor there would invariably be
a profusion Of smoke and an endless
Of missing" This trouble |
would be experienced to great extent
even in the extreme South, where the

would prove mutually proftabe e to

Such policy will permit the logical
development of each distributors bust
ness, development which will affect
the motorist through the more COM
plete and efficient service which he can
get: The automobile public generally is
dealing with prosperous distributors.
Continuing this policy to a logical
conclusion, it will be found that the
character of representation will inn

of the Hupmobile dealer in each city

The signing of a peace treaty and

sian delegates at Riga, reported lit
tie prematurely last week. took place
on October II. The armistiee wGs to
become effective at midnight October
Is. Joffe, head of the soviet delega-
ton, described the peace as "a peace
without victory and without van
quished," and disinterested observers
at Riga agreed that that described it.
Hence it was predicted that the pact
would not be very pleasing to either
the Poles or the Russians.
A peculiar complication in the af-
fairs of that part of Europe arose
through the seizure of wilma, the capt.
tai of Lithuania, by troops under the
command of General Zellgouski, who
resigned from the Polish army before
the occupation. His force is made up
of both Poles and Lithuanians. He
established a council of six In the city,

the city, and it was reported that rep

might be asked to straighten out the
situation.

The various factions of the italian
Socialist party, assembled in conven-
ton, have been having a struggle for
control. The moderates appear to
have the whip hand and have refused
to let the party commit itself in favor
of soviet rule, for Italy. The confer
ence voted solidarity with Russia but
the majority stood fast against the
Communists and made it plain they
wanted no repetition in Italy of what
has happened to Russia. Their lead
ers declared the Russian difficulties
came from the rottenness of the pres
ent regime and that the Bolshevik gov
eminent would be unable to transport
products to other countries even after
the blockade is lifted. Later in the
week Socialist leaders and those of

demonstrations in every town in Italy
to force the government to recognize
soviet Russia. They said a general

AS has been said before, the Rus
sian soviet government is now free to
devote all its strength to the crushing
of Baron Wrangel in south Russia.
But the baron is wasting no time, and
late dispatches from Constantinople
say his Dneiper river campaign is MAX
ing excellent progress. He had just
captured two Bolshevik battalions, oc-
cupied two important towns and de-
stroyed a large munitions plant. The
report that Makno, the guerrilla lead
er, had deserted Wrangel is confirmed,
but several of his bands have been
routed. Semenoff, the Siberian anti
Bolshevik leader, has given his adher-
ence to Wrangel and asked orders from
him.

ports of mutinies and revolts against
