The average small manufacturer
whose volume will enable him to
build only 5000 bodies from set of
dies in the same time in which Stude-
baker builds $4,000 has to charge
each body $40 for die cost. The diff
ference of SIS is in the price but not
in the body. The customer pays it
but he gets nothing tangible for it.
1t is one of the penalties of uneco-
nomical manufacture.
Thus car priced at ST. 200 to ST 400
can be sold as low as $1045 when
produced economically in quantity.

Whv Studeb0ker exceLS the
world i'm body building

For II years Studebaker has been a
builder of quality vehicles.
This historical tradition has been inbred
in generation after generation of coach
makers. And the Indiana city of South
Bend is known as world-Mecca of arti-
sans of this craft.
In the modern 100000 Studebaker
body plants, there are sons and fathers and
grandfathers working side by side. Their
religion is fine coach building. And this
is reflected in their work.
AS fine body builders, Studebaker stands
supreme No other maker has the expert
ence of Studebaker. No other the Stude-
baker traditions to inspire him.

To amend section 81 of article " of the
constitution relating to mpensation of
members of the legislature.
WHEREAS At the biennial session of the
legislature for the year 1921, an amendment
to the constitution was proposed and agreed
to each of the two houses, which proposed
amendment is as follows:
"RESOLVED by the Senate, the Assembly
concurring, That section Fl of article " of
tcle Iv) Section 81. Each member of the
legislature shall receive for his services,
. seven hundred and fifty dollars per
annum, and ten cents for every mile he

session of the legislature, no additional
compensation shall be allowed to any mem
Der thereof, either directly or indirectly, ex-
cept for mileage, to be computed at the
same rate as for regular session. No
stationery, newspapers postage or other
perquisite, except the salary and mileage
above provided, shall be received from the
state by any member of the Legislature for
his services, in any other manner, as
such member"
RESOLVED by the Senate, the Assembly
concurring, That the foregoing Amendment
to the constitution of the State of Wiscon-
sin be and the same is hereby agreed to by

makers cost of produc-

Hence two cars may
show a price difference
of $500 to $1,000 and
more. And be of the
same quality.
The difference in price
simply shows that it cost
one maker more to make
this car than the other.
Judging value on price,
this is folly. Price class
is a myth.

Thus a manufacturer producing
but 10000 cars a year must add $25
per car for engineering, or eight
times as much as Studebaker.
Other fixed overheads have been
reduced proportionately. And these
influence Studebaker prices.

A set Of body dies costs $1co, 600.
It will produce many thousand sets
of body stampings, each one as per-
feet as though there were only
dozen made.
BY building $4,000 bodies from
single set of dies, Studebaker reduces
the die cost per body to only $500.

Such a car is the Studebaker Light

Studebaker, producing

We subject Studebaker cars to

BANDITS INITIATING
ACTORS, IS REPORT
Use Wigs, Paint and Whisk'
ers, Prisoner Confesses
to Police.
By Consolidated Press.

By Consolidated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 3.-Now it's
the bandits who have stolen the
movie actors stuff-wigs, false
whiskers, grease paint, mascaroed
eyebrows and all. Not only that, but
like the cinema types who are sent
out from central casting bureaus" to
fill various movie roles, the bandits
have opened an exchange, where
they offer to furnish any type of law
breaker for any kind of job.
The alleged use of wigs, grease
paints, false whiskers and other
movie studio accoutrements as ad
juncts of banditry is scheduled to be
barred here Thursday in court pro-
ceedlngs to be held at the hospital
beside of Richard Van Walton, self
confessed participant in almost a
score of daring robberies.
van Walton will confront two al
legged pals in $4,000 jewelry store
hold-up of two weeks ago, in which
all three. he alleges, cast aside masks
and adopted the latest approved studio
makeup methods as a means of con-
cealing their identity. In the get
away OF the bandit trio, their machine
was wrecked and Van Waltor so seri-
ous!y injured he may die. Deserted
by his pals, who fled in another ma
chine, he has turned against them
furnishing the police with startling
information regarding the use of
crepe hair. nose putty, flesh tirts and
Nther studio diSguiseS.
Tells of Six Gangs.
According to Van Walton's alleged
confessl2ns to police, the bandit band
OF which he was a member is not the
ohiy one resorting to the use of
grease paints to prevent identifica-
tion. At least a half dozen other
hoid-up gangs working up and down
the Pacific coast have adopted the
same means of throwing police off
the trail, he declares.
MY own gang never wore masks y
says signed confession which he has
given the police. Instead, we painted
our faces, using false wigs and some
times false mustaches. In d couple

Information regarding the exchange
also came from Van Walton, who
alleges that several times he was
sent out to perform holdup anc
burglary jobs for clients of the ex-
change. In each case, he alleges
he was paid fee for his work in
addition to being permitted to keeI
all loot obtained.
Partial confirmation of the injured
bandits assertions regarding the
bandits exchange was obtained while
police were in the place few
minutes after the raid. A detective

LONDON. July 3.-Allied diplomats
