argued this point, without getting very far. Mistrust and suspicion of automobile repair methods-formed in the day when they were In the making - have become worry deeply rooted.
 Instead of trying to change the public, methods are changing. And 1t will be the change in methods which will finally change the public viewpoint.
 The automobile man must be paid for both the trouble shooting and the repair. He cannot possibly maintain a readiness to serve-testers, "trou- ble shooters" men to take orders, etc.-without including them in his charge.
 But the charge for such services must be on a volume basis. And this furnishes one of the chief reasons for the flat rate" methods of charging for repairs, which Is coming into general use so rapidly in the trade.

SAFETY LESSONS
 FOR AUTO DRIVER
LESSON No. 2-HOW TO USE YOUR
 BRAKES Prepared By the National Safety
 Council

Council
 1. Do you apply your brakes prop erly when Ion the road?"
 2. When coming to stop on a straight-away, shut of fthe gasoline throttle and leave the clutch engaged until Just before you come to 2 stop; this method of stopping is es- peclally advisable in wet weather be- cause 1t lessens the tendency of the car to skid. It also helps to dis tribute the braking power equally, and assists the action of the brakes.
 8. Do not shut off the Ignition until after you have stopped; 1t may be necessary to make a quick start. Find out the idling speed maintained by your car when the gasoline throttle is closed. then never (except In emer- gency cases) try to use your brakes when the clutch Is engaged and the car Is travelling slower than the idling speed.
 4. In going down an ordinary hill. leave the clutch engaged and close the gasolene throttle. This helps cool the engine and also makes 1t unneces- sary to use the brakes. It Is some- times desirable to turn off the igni- tion switch; this further cools the engine and adds to the braking power.
 5. In going down steep hills or when decending ordinary hills with a heavy load. put the gears in inter- mediate or low speed at the top of the hill and leaves the clutch engaged. Shut off the gaso1ene throttle.
 6. In ordinary driving. do not use the brakes oftener than necessary; regulate the speed of the car as much as possible by use of the trottle. If the car Is equipped with a foot throttle use 1t in preference to the hand throttle. This leaves the hands freer to operate the gears and the steering wheel.
 2. In making an emergency stop, leave the clutch engaged, apply the foot brake. and pull the hand brake; but do not lock the wheels" Keep the wheels rolling; otherwise there is danger that the car might slide or skid. 'Take your foot off the gas and put it on the brakel"

h Truly A National System. Says
 Automobile Official
 The Columbia Motors company, ac- cording to President J. G. Bayerline, il now able to announce tho round Ing out Of truly national system of eervice to Columbia service owners.
 The Columbia service plan Is said to be the most complete and far reaching system ever placed at the disposal of the owners of any car selling at or near s1,000.
 This assertion is made possible by the fact that Columbia service facili ties include not only 1.6o0 well or ganized Columbia dealers. but liter ally thousands of parts and service depots maintained by the great spe- cialized unit manufacturers whose products are embodied In the mo- tably efficient specialized Columbia yhassis.

MOTORS AND THEIR CARE
Practical Suggestions for In. sUring Longevity of
 the Car

Proper Use of . Wrench
 A monkey wrench should never be drawn backward from the jaws, as this movement is likely to bend the bar. The wrench should always be pulled toward the jaws.
 oau.e. of wheei n,.oal,xnme.. n Q
 The misalignment of wheels Is not always the fault of bent axles. It may be broken spring. loose spring | shackles. sprung frames. loose steer ing knuckles. bent pinions, wornout bearinks or wobbly wheels.
 Installing New Radiator Hose When new hose Is installed to connect the radiator to the water jacket of the engine apply some white lead on the pipe to which the hose Is attached. The white lead will do much to prevent . leak between tho hose and pipe.
 Abuse of Tenders
 Never mount any extra heavy equipment to fepders. Signal lamps. tires. suitcases, boxes. etc., should be parts of the car. Fender brackets and sheet metal are designed to carry only their own weight.
 For Efficient Lubrication
 When motor Is not equipped with a drainage device to get the dirty oil cut of the crankcase compartments. it Is advisable to have large pet cock installed at the bottom of the crankcase so that the dirty oil can be drawn off readily and quickly. Consistency of Warm Weather Oil
 In the summer months the gear cases should be filled to level with much heavier oil than Is used dur ing the cold weather. for the reason that the added heat from the atmos- phere tends to thin the lubricant and bring it to the proper consistency. This change of oil should affect all the gears.
 Cleaning the Closed Car
 Closed cars need plenty of ventila- ton and more cleaning than open vehicles. The cleaning process should be done with vacuum cleaner and not a whisk broom CT duster. Fumigate the interior occa- sionally with 8 mild disinfectant. Spraying with perfume Is a good germ killer and will suppress the odor of tobacco smoke.
 For EcOnOmy's Sake
 When tire goes flat the car should be stopped immediately. to prevent the rim from coming into contact with any Instructions, such as stones, car tracks. etc. Neglect to do this will bend tho rim at its edges, destroying 1t. or making 1t defective enough to inture the tire when it is put on thereafter. A bent rim should be immediately straight cned by an expert mechanic to avoid unnecessary tire expense.

Don'ts For Washing The Gar

DOn'ts For Washing The Gar
 Don't use not water.
 Don't use body polish.
 Don't use high-water pressure.
 Don't permit mud to dry upon the finish.
 Don't use soap on tho hood. body or other painted parts
 Don't permit water to dry. but rub tho surface with soft. clean chamois.
 Don't wash tho hood of the car while 1t is hot Permit the hood to cool first.
 Don't use anything other than . soft. wet sponge for washing finished parts. Keep sponge rinsed. cold water. The temperature of tho water should be between 4s and 6s degrees Fahrenheit.
 Soft tires create a drag, and the car Is slow to pick up speed.
 With proper care the life of . good car Is estimated at 10000 miles.
 It is much cheaper and better to install new springs than 1t is to patch up old ones.
 Hard steering will result from d. lowing the knuckle pivot pins to be- come dry or rusty.
 To prepare electrolite for batter les use vitreous (stone) or glass vessel. never a metal one.
 A loose gasoline tank Is likely to spring leaks if permitted to rub against the frame or metal support,
 Always use goggles for the eyes ana saturated solution of ordinary baking soda on the hands when work ing around a battery.
 Carbon deposits can be minimixed by avoiding badly gassified fuel liquids or lubricating oils which tend to make & solid residue. A dented fender, which ha. h..r damaged by collision, should be strafghtened out and painted over with Quick-drying enamel in order to prevent rust and decay.

Quality is more Important in an enclosed car than in most any other product In daily use.
 Regardless of price, 1t Is not economy to buy a naal<esmft job in which the quality Is skimped and cheapened at every turn. Paint, iudtationlc leather and ffbre board too often cover serious structural de- fects and cothon-and-wool trimming cloths are short lived. The chances arc that the buyer will moro than pay the difference later-in higher upkeep cost, frequent repairs and excessive depreciation.
 The price of the Light- Six Sedan Is the lowest at which 1t Is possible to obtain a substantial. high grade hardwood and stesl body, uphol- stered In mohair, in combination with a chassis of proved depend ability and performance.
 Studebakers rich heritags In the art of body construction dates back to the very inception of the vehicle industry in this country. Today
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-06-17

Studebakcr's South Bend plants buildinore high quality closed bodies than those of any other automobile manufacturer and consequently overhead costs arc reduced and the price to the customer Is low.
 The in-built quality of the Light Six Sedan is evident tho moment one gets behind thewheel, and is ap- preciated far more after twenty-five or thirty thousand miles of service. The secondhand market further reveals the high intrinsic value that Is traditional with Studebaker cars.
 The Light-Six Sedan, with its sturdy four-door body, Its improved L-head motor, and the excellence of its chassis. combines distinction of appearance with a reliability of per- fornanca. a degree of comfort and economy of operation unknown in any other car at anywhere near its prico.
 n years of service the name Stakeholder enjoys confidence and respect more than ever.
