American engineers must go also the
credit of developing the oldest road
material known to man to a point
where in its application to our mod
ern motor roads it affords luxurious
riding and service that is nearly 100
per cent perfect.

Cut A,0ay Loose
Section of Tread
AS SOOr, as Seer,

When the tread Of a tire breaks
and begins to flap cut off the loose
section at once. The centrifugal
force exerted on the f1apping piece
of rubber tread, because of the motion
of the wheel. will simply tend to
tear off more of it. In fact, a very
large portion of the tread may come
off in a very short distance, thus
exposing a large part of the casing
and increasing the possibility of
puncturesL
Washing the hood of the car when
the engine is hot is equivalent to
washing the car with warm water,
and will do the same amount of dam
age to the hood. 1t doesn't require
Il very hot hood to overhead the
water; the water does more harm
than good if it's temperature is in
excess OF sixty degrees.

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 $18 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 81 200 to 81 400
can be sold as low as $1045 when
produced economically in quantity.

WHY Studebaker exceLs the
world in body building

For II years Studebalzer 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 $1O0O0,000 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.

UNIFORM COLOR CODE
URGED FOR SIGNALS
Templar Head Says Plan Would
Prevent Thousands of Auto
Accidents.

CHICAGO, March o2.--Nationwide
adoption of uniform code of color
signals for all classes of automobile
traffic as n means of solving the prob
lem of safety on highways was urged
by T. L. Hausmann, president OF the
reorganiZed Templar Motor Car Com
pany of Cleveland, in an address here
Lack of uniformity in color signals
is responsible for thousands of pre-
ventable accidents annually" said Mr..
Hausmann. AT present, white. red.
black, yellow. blue, green, brown and
purple are used indiscriminately in
various states for both letters and
background in safety signals. The
motorist who is a stranger cannot tell
how to observe roadside signal un-
tile he has stopped and read 1t.
Standardization of signal colors
would mean that green, for instance.
would have the same significance un-
der all circumstances for the motorist
whether he was in Maine or Califor-
mia.
Selection Is Problem.
Selection of the key colors might
perhaps be a problem. Some colors
show clear for a greater distance than
others. Some Withstand the dimming
effect OF smoke. fog, mist and dust
better than others. Red and orange,
according to tests of the American
Engineering Standards committee,
penetrate fog more effectively than
any other colors. Green Is most quick
ly rendered invisible by fog.
Signal colors should be in direct
contrast, so that each may register
an unfailing mental recognition on
the part of the beholder. All but a
very few color-blind persons can dis
tinguish red from green even in a
fog. But many could not easily dis
tinguish blue from green, or purple
from blue. This necessity of having
a wide gap of colors limits the num-
Der available and should simplify the
problem of making the standardized
selection

FRED WILSON NAMED.
Becomes Vice President of Colum.
bia Motors Company.

Fred Wilson. who for many years
has been intimately identified with
automotive factories, and who has
gained national prominence for his
work along sales management lines,
has been elected vice president in
charge OF sales and advertising by
the directors of the Columbia Motors
Company of Detroit, and has as
sumed his new duties, according to
an announcement by directors.
While it was generally understood
that Mr.. Wilson would join Column
bia. of which Lon r. Smith became
president about two weeks ago, his
election by the directors to the vice
presidency in direct charge of sales
and advertising indicates more clearly
the high recognition given 10 Mr.. Will

We subject Studebaker cars to
10000 inspections. That requires
1000 men. All told over 10000 hand
and machine operations are per-
formed in the manufacture of a
Studebaker car. In so many opera
tons, though each one is small, there
is great opportunity for economy
and savings. 1870 premium is paid
on many steels to insure Studebaker

Thus a manufacturer producing
but 10000 cars year must add SIS
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 $780, 900.
It will produce many thousand sets
of body stampings, each one as per-

THEY Are TURNING
BACK TO MONTANA
FARMERS TRY OTHER PLACES
BUT RETURN TO LAND
NEAR WOLF POINT

The movement of homeseekers to
Montana, which in many cases means
back to Montana, has begun. There
are plenty of indications that it will
continue and increase during the
present year. Farmers as well as
others are being convinced that Mon
tana offers as good chance as any
of the western states that are bid
ding for new population. Those who
left Montana some years ago have
failed to find a location where op-
portunities are better. The lure of
Montana grew stronger the longer
they stayed away and her many good
points looked better to them from
a distance.
Quite a list of farmers have al
ready arrived and gone onto their
old farms, or new ones, on both
north and south sides of the river.
w. L. Geer, who sold off his farm
property and rented his Sand Creek
place number of years ago, has re-
turned from st. Paul and is prepar-
ing to farm his place again. He re-
ports times exceedingly quiet in the
Twin Cities.
Ferdinand Zerbe has moved his
family and a quantity Of farm chat
ties from Turner county, South Da-
kota, to half section of land in the
Volt vicinity. Mr.. Zerbe bought the
place and paid cash for it. He is
brother-in-law of Martin Rauch of
the same neighborhood.
Henry Quiring has moved back
from Mountain Lake, Mimi, where
he went four years ago and will farm
his place near Volt.
Jacob Unrau, formerly of the
Lustre country, has returned from
California and rented the James Car
roll place between Volt and Lustre.
John Olfert, a son-in-law of Rev.
J. A. Wall, has returned and will
farm in the Lustre neighborhood.
Others are expected to be here
by the time spring is sufficiently ad-
vanced to allow farming operations.

The reorganization of the Globe
Shoe & Clothing Company, announc-
ed by that company a few weeks
ago, has been completed, and "John,

the Globes advertising by "John and

VIM. E. Rae, who left the railroad
service about three years ago to as
sociate himself with John F. Cook
and Sam Clark in the Globe COM
pany, which was first Incorporated at
that time, has disposed of his large
block of stock, principally to Mr.
Cook. Mr.. Clark, it is understood,
retains his interest in the business,
but as in the past will take no active
part but continue in his position
with the Great Northern as travel
ing engineer.
Mr.. Cook will be assisted in the
work of carrying on the business by
his son Jim-hence the "John and

With the reorganization The Globe
has inaugurated q new policy with
reference to credits-the Pay-As-
You-Go plan - a system which Mr..
Cook and his associates are confident
will prove a benefit to both buyer
and seller.
Established by Cook & Campbell
about ten years ago, The Globe was
one of the early institutions of the
town and has ranked among the larg-
est ever since. Perry Campbell dis
posed of his interest in the summer
of 1921 to Rae and Clark and moved
to Chelan, Wash.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rae left for Havre
today where he will be associated
with the F. A. Buttrey Co. in the
department. "Bill" is a
keen young business man of excep-
tional and versatile ability, a good
booster and co-operator. Mrs. Rae
has made herself very popular in
social and club circles and their
many friends throughout the com
munity regret to have them leave
but wish them abundant success in

The attorneys for Wolf Point and
Poplar met once more in the legal
arena before the State Supreme
Court at Helena to argue the var
ious motions that had been filed by
each side. George E. Hurd of Great
Falls appeared for Wolf Point and
C. A. Spaulding of Helena for Pol
lar.
AS a result, the court order issued
Tuesday, throws the numerous It'll
cations that have grown out of the
original action into one issue-which
town gets the county seat, and sets
June 9th for the date of the final
hearing. The courts order requires
the appellant, Poplar, to file bond
for $4,000 in favor of the respond
ent. Wolf Point, by the 9th day OF
April. May 9TH the transcript of
the record of the trial in district
court must be filed and by May 18th

given until May 31st to prepare It's
answer.

The trail of graft and alleged mis-
conduct in public office leads every
where. The Senate committee has
found that there has been many dis
missals from the internal revenue
service for alleged favoritism and
some legislators demand q full in
quiry into the charges of plundering
the treasury on war contracts, etc.
If Investigations were ordered into
every complaint during o campaign
season, it would be necessary to
draft members of state legislatures
for temporary duty with everybody
playing role in the national polici-

votes are concerned, bid good-day to
friendly feeling.
The opinion prevails that the con-
nection between Sinclair and his
part in making up the deficit of the
Republican National committee will
prove the most damaging blow of
the whole series of so-called revela-
tions. Of course, sycophants are to
be found in all political camps but
their Importance is never appreciat-

claim is made that public sympathy,
