All Studebaker models are
equipped with Thinker bearings.
There are few cars in America, re-
CARELESS of price, which equal ours
on this point. In our Light-Six, for
instance, we put more Thinker bear
ings than are used in any competitive
car, within $1,000 of its price.
We are one of the very few build
ers, either in Europe or America,
using crankshafts machined on all
surfaces. 1t costs us 100000 year
to give you this. But itresults in that

precision machinery the
world affords.
By producing in great
quantity, we cut manu-
featuring costs. 1t costs
us less to build a quality
car, and what we save
goes to you. Under or
binary manufacturing
conditions Studebakers
could not be sold within
$50 more to twice their
price.
All any maker can put
into his car are fine ma
terials and fine workman
ship. And these are put
in every Studebaker.
Studebaker makes the
broad statement that no
finer car can be built, no
matter what you pay.
Remember this when
weighing any Car against
a Studebaker.

Car Occupied BY McGreggor Da-

Skidded Into Train

ner and when they arrived at the rail
road crossing as eastbound freight
tain was passing over it. 1t is alleged
that the automobile was running at
a high speed. Marks on the roadway
showed that while the brakes of the
automobile had been applied it skid
ded for distance of more than nine
ty feet and crashed into the train,
which was moving at a rate of about
twenty miles an hour, according to
the train crew.

MISS DUNHAM PERMITTED
TO BREAK WILL OF MOTHER
Interesting Case Came To End
Thursday Afternoon After
Stubborn Fight.

Following a deliberation of less
than thirty minutes last Thursday af-
telnoon the jury which sat in the
suit of Miss Orley V. Durham to
break the will of her mother, the late
Mrs. Jane Durham, returned a YER
dict in favor of the daughter, setting
aside the will and giving Miss Dun
ham exclusive control of the property
which the mother possessed at the
time of making the viii and permits
Miss Durham. should she so desire,
10 marry the man Of her choice.
The large crowd in the court room
received the verdict of the jury with
pleasure and many assembled there
congratulated Miss Durham most
heartily.
Under the terms Of the will made
BY her mother Miss Dunham was pro-
hibited from marrying William J.
Flynn, with whom her mother as
serted she was in love.
The income from the property, val
ued at about $4,000, and consisting
of cash, securities and real estate,
was bequeathed to the daughter, her
sole heir, on condition that she shall
not marry Flynn, now a resident of
New York.
Flynn, according to Miss Dunham's
testimony at the hearing, was a boar
der in the Durham home in 1918, he
having come here with road con-
struction company about that time.
Mrs. Durham was then siXty-four
years old, the daughter was thirty
nine, and Flynn was forty.
Flynn, after being a boarder at the
Durham home for some months, was
ordered to leave the house by Mrs.
Durham, who at the same time for
babe her daughter to receive his at
tentions.
In this state of mind she made the
will, inserting the clause prohibiting
the marriage of her daughter and
Flynn, and upon the grounds that at
the time the will was made Mrs.
Durham was of unsound mind, the
suit was instituted.
Resley c. Resi-, Miss Dunham's I'M
Gle, who is a brother Of Mrs. Durham,
is executor of the will, and was the
defendant in the case. He contended
that Mrs. Durham expelled Flynn
from her home because she did not
believe him fit person for her daugh-
ter to associate with.
The daughter told the Court that
she was the sole support of her moth
er from the time of the death of her
father, John C. Durham, to the time
Mrs. Durham inherited the estate of
a brother, who died several years ago
in Cumberland.
While the case was being heard
the court room was packed at all
times by interested spectators.
