Seeks To EnjOin
Scent Rail Fare

Little Rock, Sept. 16.-The Mis-
souri, and North Arkansas Railroad
has notified the Arkansas Corpora
ton Commission that an injunction
petition will be filed this morning in
the United States District Court
before Judge Jacob Trieber, by
representatives of the road, against
the three-cent rate fixed by the stat
ute of 1887, governing passenger
fares in the state.
Attorneys for the road have no
titled T. E. Wood, chairman of the
commission, that should the rates
be enjoined, a petition for increas-
ed rates would be filed with the
commission, on the ground that
the present rates are confiscatory.
An injunction against the three
cent statute, if sustained, would
remove the bar now existing against
an increase in passenger fares by
the Arkansas Corporation Commits
sion. The Commission recently dis
missed the petition for a 20 per
cent rate increase on passenger
fares, filed by the railroads of Ar
kansas, on the ground that it had no
jurisdiction to change the rates, as
the three-cent statute of 1887 fixed
passenger rates in Arkansas.
The three-cent rate has been in
effect since the injunction recently
granted in the federal court by
Judge Youmans of Fort Smith
against the two cent rate of 1907,
which declared the rate confisca-
tory.

STUDEBAKER HAS
 WAY ALL ITS OWN
Can't Judge Speed of Car By Way It Rattles in
 These Days and Times

T. P. Johnson. the Stndebaker dis tributor. tells a story that illustrates easy riding qualities n an automobile. demonstrated in an unusual way.
 It seems that an owner of a Stude- baker Special Six took a friend of his cut riding not long ago. The friend noticed, as he sat in the front seat that the speedometer was covered, and mentioned this fact to the owner. and asked the reason for it
 Just little idea I have" replied the owner.
 They drove through town and then hit the open road. Pretty soon the friend noticed that the car was creep sng up a bit in speed. The owner turned to him and asked:
 How fast do you think we are trav- e1ingT'
 -oh. about 25 miles an hour" came the answer
 Well you're pretty close said the owner. Just take that cover off the spedometer and welll see"
 The friend did as suggested, and the eedometer showed 42 instead of 1S miles an hour.
 "A lot of people stiii judge the speed of all cars by the amount of noise, swaying and general vibration" com ments MT. Johnson. Just because 8 car travels along quietly and smooth " they think it mus1 be going slow. That used to be the case. There was time when an automobile hitting 20 miles an hour or more shook and la- bored to an extent that was very ob- vious to the driver and other occu- pants Some people still judge the speed of a car by the old standards. A fact, there are few today who are not deceived in guessing the rate at which an automobile is travelling.
 Just to show how motor cars have advanced in the direction of comfort, steadiness and smoothness on the road the engineers of the Studebaker Se- ries 20 cars have developed them to the point where today they can travel 56 to 60 miles an hour, mile after mile, without uncomfortable vibration or ap- parent effort Scientific balance and other refinements in design explain bow this has been made possible.n

BALANCE PERFECT
 IN THE COLE CAR tf Stresses Applied At Given Point Are Absorbed By
 Entire Frame Area

By adapting principals developed in erotype engineering to the design and construction of the Cole Aero Eight, Cole engineers have obtained in this car balance which makes possible it's extraordinary roadability.
 The frame of this car has been so designed and constructed that the stresses applied at any given point are absorbed by the entire frame area. The construction of this frame and the spring suspension take up without transmitting the shocks of the road.
 The bodies are also peculiarly bal anced are fitted scientifically to the chassis to eliminate overhanging. The units of weight are so distributed that a low center of gravity is secured.
 The remarkable economy of the Aero Eight, it's tenacious road adher- ence, it's riding comfort and it's pick up may be all traced to the cars per- feet balance.
 The fact that 1t is a common experi- ence for A>~-~rht owners to get up- wards of 15,VGV miles on tbe original set of tires also may be Attributed to this balance. The wear on the tires

SOME BATTERIES ARE QUICK ON COMEBACK

Automobile storage batteries-some of them. at least-have surprisingly quick 'come-back' after having been drawn upon almost to the point of exhaustion. This phenomenon was explained yester- day by Lee IIigdon, USL service station representative for this section. an expert on all kinds of storage batteries in gen. eral. He said:
 This automatic recovery of energy in a battery is known to all service men and to many experienced car drivers. Suppose, for example. that 8 battery, after discharging heavily. has barely enough energy left to make feeble at tempt to get the starter going. Or per- haps the starter will not respond at all to the pressure of the starting button
 Following these unsuccessful attempts let the battery take little rest-say for fifteen minutes. The battery is not charging but simply at rest. Following this period of rest the battery will be jumping with rejuvenated pep-in fact, showing a surprising capability What is the reason?
 such phenomenon is explained by the fact that the short rest has afforded time for the diffusion of the electrolyte within the battery, so that the energized particles have been redistributed so as to work to better advantage
 There are hundred and one prob lems similar to the foregoing that can be readily explained to the motorist if service station at least once month"

venomous. In tropical waters they are
vastly numerous, especially in the In

surface of the water. They are six
to eight feet long. very fierce and will
commonly attack human beings. Their
bodies are fiat, and almost wholly filled

is the choice especially for children

been given the matter in England, but
preference for places on the east and
vest coasts instead Of in the south is
