u There is no other body like it on
any other car at any price--because
1t is exclusively q Studebaker crea-
ton, made only by Studebaker. You
can buy the Duplex from no other
maker.
The new Duplex is available Tor
each of the three new Studebakel
chassis - the new STANDARD
SIX, the SPECIAL SIX and the
BIG SIX.
And these three new chassis are
the evolution of the famous CHASSIS
of the FIVE preceding years. Eaen
year they have been improved anu
refined.
But this year the new models arc
climaxed with every tested anu
proved betterment that experience
and science have thus far developed.
They are paramount exemplafs Oh

Simply stated, this means that
money cannot buy more modernly
perfect automobiles than the new
Studebakers--we have the Duplex
models ready for your inspection

Duplex

TINE new Studebaker Duplex
/ models ~-give the comfort and
protection of a closed car-with all
the advantages of an open car, plus
the good looks, riding comfort, in
terror finish and fittings, that no open
car could ever give!
Yet the price is no higher than that
of an open car.
The appeal of its simplicity, con-
venience and durability is instant and
decisive-with touch of the hand
you draw down the four roller en-
closures and in thirty seconds your
airy open car is a snug, comfortable
enclosed car. With equal ease the
enclosing sides can be rolled up into
the roof and you have an open car
again.
The Duplex body is especially built
for the roller side enclosures, the
roof is framed and shaped IN steel
permanently beautiful and steel
strong to support the rollers, and
the upper part of the Duplex is in
tegral with the lower part. It is a
unit body which harmonizes per-
fectly in beauty and function.

HEAT ON MARS

WARRINGTON. Aug. 2s.-Most
significant are the observations that
have been made az Lowell observa.
tory on the heat from Mars. The
messages DR.. w. w. Coblentz OF the
U. s. bureau OF standards has re.
ceived in the form OF heat waves
impingfnR on his radio meter un.
doubtedly have moro meaning in
them than radio signals that have
generously been assigned 10 hypo.
thetical Martinns. Temperature has
been one OF Mars secrets.
The average temperature on that
planet was found 10 lilo between 4s
degrees and ~ degrees Fahrenheit.
but because Of thin atmosphere IL
seems likely that there f. freezing
weather on Mars every night and
hot weather about 70 degrees) every
midday.
DR.. Coblentz has found that the
Marian surface is cooler in tho
morning and hotter after the sun
has shono upon It. Tho white
capped mountains. probably covered
with snow. do not give off as much
heat az the other parts Of the sur.
face. The marian tropics are hot,
the Marian temperate zones are
cooler Mars seems quite earthlike
in those respects.
Tho telescopes will be busy for a
month ct least, for Mars Is not dc.
