to give the purchaser the benefit of
savings effected.
One of the striking innovations
and efficiency ideas in the new
factory is to be found in the build
ing where final assembly is carried
on. Here an improvement on the
familiar conveyor system used in
automobile factories is employed.
Endless Chain to Completion
Moving along on an "endless
chain" behind each frame upon
which a car is assembled is
carrier upon which the various
units that go into the car are hung.
These units, such as transmission,
steering assembly, axles, etc., are
stocked alongside the endless chain,
and placed on the carriers as they
go by.
When the last of these units
is hung upon the carriers, the
actual assembly of the complete car
begins, under careful and expert
supervision, an improvement upon
the former method of long drawn
out, piecemeal assembly. The ar
rangement of this progressive as
sembly also provides for the
mechanical handling of all material,
and it reduces to minimum the
cost and confusion of moving stock.
The sub-assembly building, where
the various units themselves are
assembled, is four stories high, of
reinforced concrete construction,
and has an interior bay open to the
roof. The bay is covered with a
glass skylight, and is equipped with
crane service and landing balconies
on all floors for the quick and
economical handling of materials.
The bay also has a depressed un-
loading track with accommodations
for ten freight cars. In this sub
assembly building are located the
store-rooms, tool departments, ma
chinery maintenance and repair de-
partments, together with factory
administration offices and en-
ployes' restaurant.

lERS production re- to give the purchaser the benefit

CTUDEBAKER'S production re-
~ cord of 110,540 cars for the
~ first eight months of this year
surprising the record for the en-
tire year of 1922-has caused wide
comment in motor and business
circles.
In an effort to keep pace with
demand, Studebaker produced, dur
ing the month of August, a total
of 1900 cars, which broke all re-
cords for a single months produc-
ton, and indications point to con-
tinued, heavy demand.
Such an achievement requires
enormous physical and financial re-
sources, an idea of which may be
gained by the knowledge that
Studebaker's actual net assets total
$90,0OO,O0O including $45,00O,00O in
plants.
Notable among these plants are
the immense new factories at South
Bend, Ind, in which the Light
models are manufactured complete.
They reflect the results of six
years exhaustive investigation and
study by construction engineers
and production men, and are re-
co8nized as among the most med
ern and efficient manufacturing
plants in the world.
Innovation In Assembly
One of the greatest advances the
automobile industry has made has
been in the direction of building
motor cars of lighter weight with
out the sacrifice of strength, thus
making them sturdy and service
able, yet economical in operation.
The Studebaker Light-Six is a
striking example of such car, and
every detail in connection with the
arrangement of the various factory
buildings, the selection and placing
of machinery and stock has been
inspired by the desire on the part
Of Studebaker experts to manu-
facture the Light-Six on the most
economical and efficient basis, and

The great building that houses
the stamping department which
represents an investment of
$4,000,000, is of steel-frame con-
struction, with tile roof and glass
sides. Heavy metal-forming presses
manufacture the frames, tenders,
hoods and other stamped parts of
the car, while huge ovens are
utilized for the baking of the en-
ameled pieces.
Visitors who make the trip
through the Light-Six factory al
ways like to finger in this depart
ment, watch the interesting pro-
cesses performed-veritable mir
acles they seem-and study the
remarkable economies in operation,
as well as the perfect accuracy and
efficiency with which each task is
completed.
MOdernity of Facilities
Among many notable features
of manufacture which illustrate the
modernity of facilities of the Light
Six plants are the machine shops
which alone represent an invest
ment of 100000. Here the
Light-SiX crankshafts and connect
ing rods are machined to very ac-
curate limits on all surfaces, a
practice that is largely responsible
for the practical elimination of vi
bration in the Light Ska practice
that is followed exclusively by
Studebaker on cars at the Light
Six price. Sixty-one precision
operations are required on the
crankshaft alone.
The South Bend plants contain
4,875,000 square feet of floor space.
They employ 10000 persons. They
cost 500, 100000. The South Bend
forge plant cost $4.0O0,OO0, the
power plants $2,500,O0O and the as
sembly and stock plants cost
SIS 100000. The new foundries now
under construction will cost over
$2,000,000.

Man Is Identified as DR., A.
B, Morris, Who Left His
Practice at VaIdosta Some
Months Ago

+ VALDOSTA Ga, Sept. 14.-Ac-
cording to information received by
Sheriff Gornto from the officers in
Newark. n. j., a man supposed to
be Dr. A B. Morris, formerly of Val
dOsta, is under arrest there.
When arrested he was attired in
woman's clothin, blue serge suit,
white hat and wore a wig. He is
said to have had large sum of mon
ey on him at the time and also six
hundred thousand dollars in first
mortgage securities on Iowa lands.
He was identified by letters on him
from a Valdosta law firm and adj
dressed to him at Mayday, Ca,
where he is supposed to have had
interests.
The Newark officers sent the
sheriff here pictures of the man ar
rested there, both in his own clothes
and in female attire. Those who
have seen the pictures say there is
no doubt as to the identity.
DR.. Morris moved to Valdosta
from Atlanta, his wife operating a
small hotel here while he did office
practice, the family was supposed to
have gone to Jacksonville from here.
The most surprising part of the
story is that he had such a huge sum
of ValuableS on his person as. DR..
Morris was not regarded as being
very wealthy.

Court Rejects Plea
Of Stigall's Attorneys
For. Witness Fare

-BaSlnS a ruling on the broad
grounds that the county, could not
be compelled to pay the expenses of
Out-OftOWn witnesses for either the
state or the defense, Judge John D.
HUMPHREYS at noon Friday denied
petition brought two days ago by
the law firm of Branch & Howard,
representing Policeman e. c.. Stigali
asking that an eyewitness of the
shooting now in Washington. ID. c.,
be subpoenaed at the states expense
as witness for StigalI.
Attorneys James A. Branch and
Walter LeCraw contended that the
county is in the habit of paying the
expenses of state witnesses from out
of the state and that the defendant
was entitled to the same right as
the prosecution. Attorney Branch
said he probably would appeal the
case to the appellate courts on Judge
HUMPHREYS ruling.
The witness named in the petition
is l.. S. Benton, now said to be in
a government hospital in Washing
ton.
1t is contended further that the
defendant is financially unable to
bear the expense Of bringing Ben
ton to Atlanta for the trial, and the
state, therefore, is asked to bear the
expense.

Doubt Mans Story
That His Car Killed
Woman Found Dead

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Sept. IA
prominent village merchant is held
here today by Davidson county au-
thorities on a charge of manslaugh-
ter, while Coroner ]. r. Allen is
preparing for an inquest into the
death of an unidentified woman
whose bloodstained body was found
on a roadside here yesterday after
noon, said to have been the victim
of an automobile crash.
Ben F. Morse, of GladeVille, Tenn,
a village near Nashville, declared
to officers that the woman had been
accidentally killed when struck by
his automobile.
Through a chain of circumstances
which officers have viewed with
suspicion, the coroner's inquest will
seek to knit the ends of facts which
investigators openly state indicate
that the woman, apparently only 20
years of age, met her death by
means other than having been
struck by the automobile
