New Record in
Australian Race
Won by Studebaker

Speeding across desert wastes,
mountainous roads and rugged
mainland, Il Studebaker Special Six
touring car has just established a
new record in AZ thrilling race
against time from Freemantle to
Sydney, Australia.
The car was driven by John Bur-
ton, a veteran Australian motorist.
1t went through the grueling
grind of 1859 miles in five days, y
hours and As minutes. This is 16
hours and II minutes faster than
the previous record of 6 days, 10
hours and 81 minutes.
In addition, Burton drove the
Studebaker through to n new record
in his race, by clipping off con-
siderable time between Freemantle,
Adelaide and Melbourne. The
Special-SiX negotiated the entire q
$50 miles under extremely severe
conditions and came through in per-
feet running order.
This new Australian record of
Studebaker's comes on the heels of
new marks recently established by
stock model Studebaker cars in the
Syrian desert and in TIE Union of
South Africa.

standard size ana balloon tires. The
| smaller is the air chamber of a 33X5

| and intended to be used at 80
pounds of air.
Balloon tires continue to grow as
the main topic of discussion among
car owners this year.. There is
| more interest in the large tires than
! in any other item of discussion
| among those owning automobiles.
Tire manufacturers bombarded the
| public with balloon tire announce
| ments rather suddenly and it is not
| unnatural that there has been good
deal of confusion in the public mind
about this sensational tire develop
| ment. Balloon tires are simply
larger. thinner. more flexible tire,
but the principal idea they develop
is lower air pressure and greater
| cushioning. The word balloon"
| has been attached to them by happy
| chance.
The recent action of the Rubber
Association of America, membership
In winch includes practically every
reputable tire manufacturer, in de-
timing balloon tires as greatly over
| sized tires, with thin side-wall con-
| struction for flexibility and designed
for extremely low air pressure,
whether the tires go on rims al
ready on a car as original equip
| ment or whether special wheels and
| rims must be bought, also helps to
| clarity the confusion.
Tire users are coming to realize that
pneumatic tires are designed first
| and last to be air cushions for the
| car and the passengers. Considered
from that view point alone the bal
loon tire is the best example thus
far brought out for the first time
answers the demand of the car own
! or for the utmost comfort, without

Why Studebaker exceLs the
world in body building

For II years Studebaker has been
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 $10,000,OOO 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.

Comes in

Studebaker, producing
100000 cars yearly, has
reduced engineering cost
to 1888 per Car.
This is based on a total
engineering cost of $780,
600 a year, which is the
least on which any man
ufacturer can maintain

Campaign Managers
On the Anxious Seat.

Washington, Oct. 14.-These are
vexatious days in Washington with
the struggle for the management of
the nation at its height. Everybody
is in a speculative mood but few are
willing to hazard cash on the out
come Of the election. Times and
manners have changed and noamount
of prediction optimism can disguise
the fact that all partisans are deeply
concerned over the action of the
electorate next month. Many now
conceive extravagant hopes of a two
and four year term in Washington,
knowing full well that public opinion
is capricious. Unlike the %quadren-
NAL election of 1920, there are no
marked issues, which naturally com
plicate the political and economic stu
alton. Campaign managers fear
lethargy and difference as the ballot
ing day approaches.
Funds Are Low.
Making a showing of their determi-
nation to enforce rectitude in public
affairs, the Congressional committee
is prepared to investigate so-called
"slush funds Of the various parties.
Those close to the financial author
tiles of the respective political or
CARNATIONS are amused at these de-
velopments for it is generally known
that the cry for money finds the cup
board bare. 1t is a known fact that
some of the leading contestants for
national political honors are paying
their own bills because of the short
age of campaign funds. The major
parties have found it difficult to raise
money by subscription because Of the
various interpretations given to pub
lie contributions during election by
Senate committees.
The working forces of the national
committees have been reduced to a
minimum and economies never con
sidered in other election years are
being enforced by the three parties.
Those who helped conduct campaigns
know that the condition of the par
ties e~xchequers will not permit cash
remuneration but hope tina their zeal
will be rewarded in patronage in the
event their party is successful. The
poverty-stricken condition has frus-
trated the sanguine expectation Of
many party votaries whose interest
is aroused at the tinkle of coins i'll

Farmer Has Them Worried.

the Constitution in various political
camps but somehow the reaction Las
not been up to anticipated heights.
The present situation was described
many years ago by Lord Macauley
discussing the utilitarian theory of
government when he said: "Constitu-
tions in politics are what paper money
is in commerce. They afford great
facilities and conveniences.'
The disturbing factor for the cam
paign managers is the undemon-
strative attitude of the farmer. His
attitude does not seem to change by
the Establishment of words from of
f-ice-seekers. 1t seems generally
agreed that there will be little or no
farm legislation at the next session
of Congress. The agitation for Fed
eral relief for the farmers, as out
lined in the McNary-Haugen bill at
the last session has ceased with in
creased prosperity of the farmers.
The latest report of the Federal
Reserve Board for October states that
'the increase in the current income
Of the farmer arising from the larger
yield and better prices, has been re
Elected in improved financial and
business conditions in agricultural
districts"
The total wheat crop in this coun-
try is about fifty million bushels
than last year but the world
crop is considerably smaller, and this
reduced production has been reflect
ed in higher prices. At the higher
level of farm prices and with the
total volume of crop production as
much as last year, the farmers in
come for 1924 is expected to be con
~siderably above that for recent years.
The important factor in increasing

production. This prosperity is re
,lected in other lines, principally
business, which depends upon the
for a market.
The McNary-Haugen.
Some legislators believe that a
group in Congress will revive
he demand for an agricultural cor
,oration. It is certain that the
aeasure must be drawn to overcome
objections to the McNary-Haugen
ill creating a 5000, 00O,O 900 corpora
ion to buy and sell farm products at
alto prices. The belief is general
hat the movement for Federal relief
through legislation will fall short in
congress while high prices prevail for
arm products.
At this time it appears that the
rincipal business before the next
