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 ear is assembled is a
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 q minimum the
cost and confusion of moving stock.
The sub-assembly building, wheEe
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,

{ NFUDEBAKER'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, 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
100000, 900 including $45, 100000 in
plants. D
Notable among these plants are
the immense new factories at South
Bend, Ind, in which the Light-Si
models are manufactured complete.
They reflect the, results of six
years exhaustive investigation and
study by construction engineers
and production men, and are re-
cognized as among the most mod
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 a 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 1Studebaker experts to manu-
faccure the Light-Six on the most
economical and efficient basis, and

Little Rock Letter

Little Rock, Oct. This is the last
week Of the special session of the Gen
eral Assembly. If they run according
TO schedule they will adjourn sine die
at noon next Monday, October S. At
this time there is no prospect Of an ex-
tension Of the session. The members,
as a rule, did not want the extra ses-
sion and they will be ready to quit
within the constitutional limit.
As il has developed, the question Of
salary is easily disposed Of. While
the constitution provides that they
shall work for half pay or $500 a
day when called in extra session, both
House and Senate voted an additional
$500 a day for each member for post
age and telegraph and telephone tolls,
making $500 a day. At the regular
session they received $500 a day and
voted an additional s1.00 for postage.
The correspondence and the telephone
and telegraph messages of the members
are necessarily very heavy, which
doubtless accounts for the increased
appropriation for this purpose.
The first week witnessed the intro
duction Of p bills in the Senate and
A in the House and there will be
several more this week So far as the
highway legislation is concerned, the
principal cause for which they are
convened, the lawmakers made some
progress. The bill drafted by county

provision for the protection of insefu-
vorous birds.
The damage caused by insects des-
trovine the cotton this year has reach
ed i'm the thousands of dollars, and
many reports are coming from all sec
tions of the state of considerable dam
age TO the corn, hay, melon and other
crops. Some cotton has no doubtbee
saved by the use Of Calcium Arsenate
and other poisons, but it is generally
believed that on account of the large
number of birds that fan victim TO the
poison by eating the poisoned worms
that SO few birds will be left that their
services will be reduced to a minimum,
and within the next few years the
farmers of Arkansas and other South
ern states viii be at the mercy OF TINS
great army of insects that are preying
upon the growing crops.
Il is a known fact that If II We're
not for the woodpecker family that
within a period of two years we would
NOT have in this state living tree, II
il were not for the bats, martins, and
chimney swifts, neither man or beast
could live on account Of knats, mos
auitoes and flies and the killing OF the
song and insectivorous birds simply
means the complete destruction of the
growing crops.
LITTLE OCK LETTER CONTD ------
The farmers of Arkansas have begun
10 realize that the birds are the farm
ers friends, and with the completion
of the organization now being formed,
each farmer obligating himself de-
termination of the courts TO impose
heavy penalties on all violators, and
the determination of the officers whose
duty il is to enforce the laws govern
ing the killing or taking Of birds to
take said violators before the courts
of competent jurisdiction, means, that
If each and every one does their duty
that within the next two years the
destruction of crops by insects will be
reduced at least fifty per cent.
Il. V. Visart, U. S. Game Warden
of Little Rock, who has charge of the
enforcement of the Federal laws gov
erning the killing of birds is cooperat-
ing with the farmers, and urges that
all reports of killing of birds be re-
ported OF him, and promises that each
report win receive his personal at
tention.
Mr.. visart requests also that in each
section where the farmers are organ
izing that he be notified in order that
he may get in closer touch with the
organization. Copies of the Federal
law governing the killing of birds will
be mailed upon request.
In addition to protecting the birds,
Mr. visart is urging the farmers to
have few Guinea-fowl or turkey on
their place.

Producing it and then tabling il by
decisive vote of 40 to 43. Friends Of
this measure have been contending
that they have a majority in the SEN
ate and could pass il at any time they
wished to do so. Two other bills have
been introduced in the Senate and
three in the house with others ip pros
pect.
The whole controversy hinges pri-
marily upon one point shall the state
or the county he made the administers
tive unit There are several other
points of divergence but most of them
are subjec, to adjustment, after this
particular point has been disposed Of.
Speaker Reed is the leader of the
county unit plan while Mr.. Fades is
partially aligned with the state unit
plan, except that he goes even further
than proposed by Governor McRae in
providing that the state shall
take all of the gasoline and
automobile tax, build and maintain all
the state roads and assume and pay
all the bonded Indebtedness of the
various Improvement districts through
out the state. Between these two ex-
;remes comes DIR. Hardy Of Faulkner
with a proposition to divide the taxes
$3.50 between state and county in
counties that have bonded indebted
ness and seventy per cent to the coun-
ties and thirty per cent to the state
in counties that have no bonds.
The Reed and Dulaney bills are bas-
ed upon the general text of the admin
istration bill, which has been amend
ed by the authors to meet their ideas.
Speaker Reed insists that each county
should have all Of the money raised
from its own citizens on gasoline
automobile and motor oil taxation
with which he says each county will
be able to build and maintain more
mileage of primary highway than
could possibly he done under the state
unit plan. A portion of the funds so
raised would be used in the retirement
of bonds. In addition to the taxes
named the Reed and Fades bills levy
a tax of one and six tenths mills on all
real and personal property for the
benefit of the roads. Governor Nc
Rae has made the statement that he is
opposed to property tax. All the
bills propose to raise the gasoline tax
from three to four cents a gallon, IA
levy a tax of ten cents a gallon on
motor oil and to increase automobile
taxes an average Of about twenty pei
cent. 1t appears to be the concensus
Of opinion that the burden of road con
s:ruction and maintenance should bt
placed upon the owners and users OF
automobiles who use the public high
ways more than any one else.
From this mass Of proposed legisla
tion it is believed something will bC
| involved by the end Of the week that
will meet with the Governors approva
and restore federal aid
