One>PrOft Value JJnit> Built Construction Make Studebakers Bargains in Qualify

Others, who once built quality cars, have made material sacrifice in order to secure super fciaI price advantages. These ears are good value for the man or woman who wants that kind of a car But if he wants a bargain in quality there is only one answer-Studebaker.
 Consider, for instance, the Standard Six Coach, illustrated above. It has wool upholstering; plate glass: fine trim to hide all taeks: heavy, ornamental hardware, clock; gasoline gauge on dash; automatic windshield cleaner; stop light; locks on ignition. steerin gear, door and spare tire carrier all operated by single key.
 Slam the door and the sound says "ouality." Swing on the door. Run one wheel up on the curb and note how the doors still open and close. Sit on the firm, heavy tenders. Try the steering gear See how easily it handles the full size balloon tires. Test the comfort of the deep rear seat. Its genuine wool upholstery covers two layers of washed, quilted cotton, one layer of genuine eurled hair and extra long springs closely held together by small coil springs.

Tight ChainsaAre Always
Injurious to the Tire

Like many other useful things, tire
chains are entirely proper when used
at the right time and in the right man
ner. When badly adjusted they fur
nish route to ruined tires.
Motorists often discover cuts at reg
ular Intervals around tire. When
this condition is found 1t is a pretty
safe bet that tight chains were used.
1t is never wise to fasten chains on
tightly. The more loosely a chain is
applied the less damage to the tire
will result This is because loose
chain distributes the strain all over
the tire, instead of at certain points.
The wise motorists will also avoid
the use of chains on paved streets,
except in cases of snow or ice.
A tire damaged by chains should go
to the repair shop. Too much expert
treatment is required to bring its use
fulness back for the motorist to at
tempt the repairs himself.
When the streets are in such con-
dition that chains are necessary for
safe driving, by all means use them
and see that they are properly APP
piled,

Secret Switch Prevents
Theft of Automobiles

With his snap-on jumper wire an
auto thief can readily bridge the igni-
ton wires of car, when the switch is
thrown off, and complete the circuit,
which enables him to get away with
the car. To prevent this many auto
lists have a secret ignition switch in
addition to the regular one, but the
auto thief, after first bridging the reg
ular switch, notices that there is no
discharge on the ammeter, which indi-
Gates an open circuit, and so he finds
the second switch and bridges this one,
too. However, the switch and connec-
ton shown in the drawing will foil the

Some Good Suggestions
on Cleaning Cylinders

When the cylinder head of motor
is detached for the purpose Of remov-
ing the carbon deposit, it win be no.
ticed that during the process of scrap
ing the piston, etc, the tapped holes
on the top of the cylinder casting soon
get full of oily carbon, water, etc,
causing trouble to remove when it is
decided to insert the holding down set
screws, writes R. o. Allen in the Amer
lean Motorist. To obviate this have
used short screws without heads on,
but with a screwdriver slot cut In
them, and screw them in flush with the
top of the cylinder casting before
scraping operations are commenced.
After the decarbonizing is completed
the grub screws can be removed, when
holes will be found to be free from
dirt

Dent in Gasoline Line
Will Check Fuel Flow

A dent of some depth in the gaso-
line line may be sufficient to so re-
strict the flow as to cause erratic car
buretor action, misfiring, etc. Like
wise a very abrupt upward bend is
likely to cause the formation of an air
pocket and restrict the flow. Both of
these conditions are likely to give
greatest trouble at the higher speeds
when the fuel demand is highest A
trap in the fuel line, if allowed to ac-
cumulate water or dirt, may in time
become so full of foreign substances
as to prevent the free flow of gaso-
line. Periodic cleaning of the whole
gas line and the Strengthening of dent
ed portions will prove valuable in get
ting good engine operation.

QUALIFICATIONS
OF SAFE DRIVER
He Should Know That His
Car Is in Good Condition
Before Starting.

What are the qualifications of a
safe automobile driver?
The National Safety Council an
swers the question herewith
In order to be safe driver, the in
dividual must be of good moral char
acter, possessed of all his senses, I'M
derstand his responsibility, have con-
sideration for the rights of others and
be able to act promptly He should
know that the car is in such condition
that no accident will result from de-
fective equipment. He should refuse
to operate a car which has defective
brakes for his own and others safety;
he should know by actual application
Of the brakes that they function prop
erly so that, should the occasion arise
to use them, he can depend upon them
to stop his car.
Examine Before Starting.
He should examine the ear before
starting to see that it is in good OPP
Grating condition, that is such items
as the steering, gas and oil supply
He should know that the headlights
are properly focused, tires properly
inflated and the spare tire ready for
service.
He should be sure to use skid
chains when it starts to rain or snow
or when desirable for safety under
other conditions, and should never
speed or drive In a reckless manner.
He should be careful today-tomor-
row may be too late to avoid an ac-
cident, for accidents do not happen
they are caused and well-qualified
driver is never in too big a hurry to
be careful. for he who takes chances
usually takes one too many.
Caution at Corners.
sAt blind corners where buildings or
trees obstruct the view, he should re-
duce his speed, sound the horn and
keep the car under perfect control.
He should drive slowly and carefully
when approaching children at play.
He should never count ON them to see
him or to be able to fake care of
themselves for he is responsible for
their safety.
He should cooperate with the traffic
officers to the fullest extent, for it is
their intention to help. All traffic
rules of the state. cities and boroughs,
through which the car is operated,
should be observed.
Accidents do not happen-they are
caused.
