A WEEK ago the new Studebaker Special A Six DUPLEX-PHAETON was first announced
 Today, countless thousands of people are talking about this entirely new type of car.

 When you see it and ride in it you will know why it has made so profound sensa- tion-you will realize then that it gives you more than the finest open car can ever give you, plus the comfort and protection of the closed car.
 And all at the price of an open car!
 And this is the new DUPLEX BODY on the famous Special Six Chassis.
 Hundreds of thousands of owners all over this country and abroad have given the Studebaker Special Six name for value, dependability and performance second to no other automobile.
 The new Stakeholder Special Six retains all the qualities which make great reputation ito these have been added every real inn- provement which science and owner-service could suggest.

A resolution passed by the post sets
forth the fact that congress will be
asked to provide funds for the relief

A great per cent of ex-service men
imprisoned in state and federal peni-

some mental disability, caused by the
war Reports Of such Instances from
many states have led TO preparation
for survey to be undertaken by the
American Legion in every state of the
Union.
Oklahoma, first of the state de-
partments of the Legion to complete
the preliminary work as directed by

that PIT men who served during the

will be undertaken with regard to the
rights and experiences of the former
fighter, back pay, allotment, undis-
tributed Liberty bonds, compensation
and disqualification and other features
which the Legion has helped in secur-

Actual work of the survey will be
undertaken in Oklahoma by soldiers

Post PROVIDES entertainment.

The George N. Kemp post of the
American Legion in East Stroudsburg,
Pa, has outlined many ambitious pro-
grams but none to equal that for 1924. It
is doubtful, even, If any other post of
the veterans organization In the coun-
try will attempt to stage and produce
such unusual events. The annual
automobile show, usually sponsored by
the dealers, will be the first of the
winters activities. Then will come
production of the opera, "n Pagliacci,"

a huge military ball, sacred concert

Wisconsin Will Reminder
Adj It's Trunk Highways

Immediately following conference
of the special legislative committee,
appointed to select $500 additional
miles to the state trunk highways, di-
vision engineers and the state high
way division commission to determine
finally what roads are 10 be added,
highway experts will begin work on the
enormous task of REMEMBERING all of
Wisconsins trunk highway system.
Almost every trunk highway in the
state will have to be REMEMBERED to
conform with the additions made by
the special legislative committee.
Under the new system there will be
fewer short highways and more long
highways, with several numbers over
tapping each other on the main tray-
eled through routes.
Wherever it is possible highway ex-
perts will plot routes direct from i'm
portant centers. There will be no
change, however, in the system or
plan of marking the trunk highway
system.
All highway maps are to be reprint
ed and revised following the new al
location of main highways, but this
will probably not come until late In
the spring. 1t will make main routes
easier to follow, for it will not be nee
essary to switch off from one highway
to the next on a long journey. Motor
lists will be able to enter the state
on one highway and follow that clear
through the state or to their destina-
ton.

ROAD :
BULL DING
Study Science of Roads
in Elementary Schools

The automobile industry is showing
more than ordinary interest In bull
letin just issued by the bureau of edu-
cation. Department of the Interior en-
titled main Streets of the Nation,
and intended as study of projects
on highway transport for elementary
schools
Prepared by Florence G. Fox, spe-
cialist in education systems for the
United States government, it will par
ticularly appeal to the children be-
cause their lives are very close to the
highway question; good roads playing
an increasingly important part in
every child'S experience.
The bulletin shows the remarkably
interesting and practical lessons which
have been worked out for elementary
grades In arithmetic, for example, a
question such as this Is asked: If the
railroad fare from New York to San
Francisco is $138.18, bow much more,
or less, will it cost to motor through
the Lincoln highway than to go by
tramp The solution involves prob
lens in the cost of gasoline, the wear
and tear of the machine, and the days
living expense en- route, as compared
with the cost of travel.
In the geography department inter
esting lessons are presented which af-
ford imaginary journeys over the
cOuntry's great highways Important
cities are located on the way, and
brief essays written about the national
points of interest in passing. The bull
letin gives in great detail how such
lessons may be prepared.
Problems in simple science are
brought out by study of road build
ing, drainage and grading. Lessons
in civics are exceptionally interesting
and these include problems on financ-
ing; how to obtain a right of way !;
how bond issues are cared for, etc.
An important lesson deals with the
safety question. Every parent is in
terested in this, and the work in
yolved cannot fail to be of help and
practical use to the young student in
the face of the crowded streets and
highways.
