STUDEDAKER'S NEW
 HOME COMPLETED
Fifteen -MilIion-DOllar Plant At South Bend Biggest
 Job in Country

South Bend. Ind. April 3.-The new sl5,oo0.0oo plant of the studebaker Corporation here has just observed an anniversary. A year ago-on March 19, 1919 10 be exact-ground was brok- en for this latest addition to the Stude- baker plant system, the biggest fac tory construction job in the sutomo- bile industry and the home of the new studebaker light six soon to be forth coming.
 Commencing with the laying of rail road tracks and the clearing of the site, work on the various units has been carried on during the past twelve months until today the buildings are practically completed. and fittings are being rapidly installed.
 That these new factories will be one of the show places in the automobile industry is considered certain, for they are without doubt the most modern mo- tor car factory units in America. They are models in construction and from the standpoint of greatest possible efficiency in the manufacture of auto mobiles. In addition, they provide ideal working conditions for employees.
 One of the striking innovations and efficiency ideas in the new plant is to be found in the building where final assembly will be carried on. Cars will be assembled on a conveyor as they

OREGON IS FIRST
 STATE TO PUT TAX
 ON GAS CONSUMPTION

The increasing demand on the part ce the American' motoring public for Lightweight ears and the gradual re- auction in weight by most of the ear manufacturers in response to that de- mand, presents an Interesting study when viewed in the light of the legis- lation which one state has already adopted, namely. a tax on gasoline con sumption.
 Oregon is the first state 10 adopt such legislation. Instead oc the usual regis tration tax based on horse power rat ing the oregon motorlst Is assessed one cent gallon on motor vehicle fuel and one-half cent gallon on distillate. The new law went into effect March l. 1919. and for the ten-month period up to January l, 1920, there was collected from some SO,000 automobiles $200, 795. It is estimated that the 1920 revenue will exceed half a million dollars. According to officials of the. Oregos'

FRAME IS ONE OF MOST IMPORTANT
 UNITS OF COLE

One of the most important units con tributinE to construction, design and the serviceability of the Cole Aero-Eight is the specially designed frame
 Endowed with ample strength, although it is light in weight, this frame possesses resiliency which enables 1t to absorb road-shocks without ary perceptible re- action.
 Its members are constructed by hydrau- lie pressed steel of high carbon consis- tency, 5-S2 of an inch m thickness. The side members are six inches deep with integral flanges two and one-half inches wide at the top and bottom These mem bers attain their maximum depth at the point where the greatest load is carried. The frame tapers toward the front to af- ford the shortest possible turning radius and widens at the rear to give the fullest and most rigid body support.
 Five reinforced cross members placed at the vital points take away practically all strain from side members and create a low and desirable center of gravity.
 Two of these cross members aid in forming an ideal three-point suspension for the Aero-Eight motor. A trunnion holds the front end of the motor in a cradle, which produces an unusually low center of gravity

It consists of two sections one of which is bolted to the sheet stee rear frame cross member and the other which grips the rim and tire. holding them rigidly in position.

The arrangement of this pro- gressive assembly provides for the me- chanical handling of all material and reduces to minimum the cost and confusion of moving stock.

.21 CADILLACS ARE
 DOING STAGE DUTY

over beautiful mountain scenic route between san Diego and El Centro in Cali fornia, a distance of l25 miles, twenty one Cadnlacs make daily trips on a six and-thirty-minute schedule, includ ing a half hour for meals.
 About two years ago after having E perimented with various makes of aute mobiles. the PickwicS-White star Untts' stages decided to give the Cadillac " out. The result was that they are ms said to be using this type of car fN clusively
 In addition to the fact that the usel ol Cadillacs makes it possible for them e' maintain their schedules, another wortn while advantage was that they were no continually delayed by stopping to rs plenish the water in the radiators, nor withstanding the long, steep grades.

TAX EXPERTS LOSING SLEEP
Question, "NNhen 10 4 Girl a Miss?" 10
Puxxling Bureau Of Internal
Revenue.

The other day Lew Hahn, executive
secretary of the National Retail Dry
Goods association, took the JOY out OF
life for the experts Of the bureau of
internal revenue when he asked
whether cOrsets were underwear. Now
he has gone and done 1t again. the
query this time being:
"When does girl become miss :"
Trainers of the new revenue tax law
included in the list Of taxables "wom-
ems and misses wearing apparel FIX
perts Of the bureau, Mr.. Hahn says,
have informed retailers that no tax is
to be collected ON wearing apparel for
girls.
Retailers say there are hundreds and
hundreds of misses, and quite a few
married women, WHO are so petite that
they can still wear, and therefore buy,
girls clothes. Does the fact that such
articles Of clothing are to be worn by
women of mature years change the ma
ture OF the apparel in the eyes Of the
law; or do garments designed for girls
remain girls wear, regardless Of the
age of those who buy and wear them?
This is the puzzle Mr.. Hahn has put up
to the bureau experts.

Those Who Think There Is Anything

The high cost of living was just as
much a problem in Elizabethan times
as 1t is today. The Rev. William Har-
rison, as quaint gossip as Pepys, and
equally gifted as a chronicler, COM
planned that magistrates in his day
winked at merchants who charged
more for commodities than they were
permitted by law to charge. In that
day, as in this, "bodgers"-this delight
fully descriptive word is of the domi-
MES own cOining-were allowed ito
burngup corn and raise the price of it !;
to carry 1t home unsold, or to dis
tant market, if they want more money
than the buyer likes to pay; nay,
they've leave to export it for the ben
eft of enemies abroad, so as to make
more profit.
During the world war there was
much talk of certain Americans who
deliberately destroyed carloads OF po-
tatoes, cabbages and other vegetables
and foodstuffs in order to raise the
prices of these commodities. Same old
story. There's nothing new, remarks
