Studebaker is today the leader in the
h1e-car field.
Studebalzer builds more quality cars than
any other concern in the world
Buyers of fine cars last year spent over
$1,000 10000 for Studebaker models.
The demand for Studebakers has almost
trebled in three years - as people found
them out.
Then go see them. Compare them with

Consider their service records.
One Studebaker car, built in 1918,
has run 475,000 miles. 1t is still in
active service. It lately made mid

The Cost of a Car

These are the things to consider

.<HE cost of a car depends in large
part on volume and efficiency.
Il 1t is no criterion of value.
Studebaker builds 10000 fine cars
yearly. All of them are Skies. The
main costs are divided by that enor-
nous output. Thus at prices of 1918
and up we offer the utmost in quality.
We offer maximum values.
Don't judge these cars by prices.
Under other conditions they might
cost twice as much, yet offer less than
these.

DR.. Traprock on Snakes.

DIR. Walter e Traprock, the noted
traveller, was speaking of snakes. OF
which he has probably seen as many
as any living man.
The revulsion felt by most people
in the presence of snakes" said the
doctor. lis wrong. all wrong. They
are mainly harmless and useful One
OF the gentleSt companions | ever had
was Naa- Naa, the pet Ooka or hot
water bottle snake, which I brought
back from the Filbert Islands.
The Ooka derives its name from
Its curious ability to retain heat for
an indefinite period. 1t lives on the
juice of the hoopa, the only fur-bear-
ing cocoanut l know of. The Ooka alb
serbs its meal during the tropic noon
hour. which at that time is at its
highest temperature of about 10 de-
grees. This meal the snake retains
until the following day, when the proc
es's is repeated. 1t is very pleasant,
during the cool nights. to have one of
these gentle creatures wrapped about
ones body.
"A less attractive: but equally use
full serpent. is the great desert
python, which plows its way through
the sands of the Sahara. This crea-
ture is the terror of all the small
animals of the desert. The natives.
however. prize them highly. using the
smaller ones as tires for their primi-
tive automobiles.
1T was my good fortune to cap
ture the record snake last September,
a giant measuring eighty-two feet
from tip to tip. | had him reamed
out by forcing a sharp egg -beater
through his entire length, after
which | presented him to the Irkuts

up to that time had no hose what
