Steps From Studebaker
With Confidence

Just before she arrives at the thea
ter or the house party, does the wom-
an in. the closed car wish to make a
last-minute survey Of herself, to see
If just tiny dab Of powder is need
ed that her couture is unruff1ed, that
her costume is not disarranged! She
DOES. To do this requires a good
light, a natural light
Studebaker, in it's closed car models,
uses to volt electric lamps of high
power, and the rear quarter reading
lamps have an opalescent glass giving
natural light. From her vanity case
her mirror will give milady back a
true reflection and the light is ample
to enable her to make such minute
adjustments as are necessary. So she
steps from her car canfident and self
possessed.
valuables Saved
Then the whole Kansas CITY auto
mobile show exhibit burned to the
ground, only two cars were rescued.
They were the new Studebakers.
Whereupon the enterprising publicity
man advised editors: After the fire
men got out all the valuables they
I could, they felt there was nothing
else to do but let the show burn"
Which, on second reading, is true, at
that.
How Tall Are You
When six-foot man sits down, the
distance from the back of his chair
to the point of his knee is 22a inches.
That's why some "7-passenger" cars
cramp him when he sits in the auxil-
larry seats. Studebaker, In its Big Six
7-passenger bodies, puts in an extra
two inches, making the space 24a in
ches, so there's room. With the aux
lliary seats in use, the rear-seat space
Is 21-~ inches, giving even more com.
fort.

Now You Have III

ANSWERS to last weeks questions)
1. The present annual value of
the construction work of the high
way industry is two billion dollars.
2. Air cleaners, as now revealed
on the market, operate on four diff
ferent principles: simple filtration,
beating, momentum and centrifugal
force. In the first dirt is strained
out of the air. In the second it is
beaten out by rotary fan. In the
third it is tricked out because it IS
heavier than air. In the fourth it is
whirled out.
8. Gasoline adulterants, or "dopes"
increase efficiency by slowing down
the rate of combustion of the gas
vapor when fired in the cylinders.
4. In plugging in at any lamp
socket on the car you can tell posi-
tive from negative by inserting the
ends of the wires in a potato The
potato will turn green around the
negative wire.
5. Demountable cylinder heads for
engines have never been universally
approved because they permit of too
much variations in the valve stem
clearances, due to expansion and
contraction.

No motorist Is qualified to pass
judgment on the merits of his car
until he has driven it at least 10000
miles. Just another way of stating
the fact that about one out of every
1000 motorists is qualified to give
advice in car buying.
The average motorist doesn't need
to be told that most women no long
er desire to take back seat.
The one thing that has retarded
the progress of a convertible type of
car in America is the fad of believing
that closed car is the last word in
motoring. The limitations of the
closed car are now dawning upon
many thousands Of owners who are
beginning to find that the open car
hold no patent for disadvantages.
It's lack of elbow grease that keeps
most cars from looking we'll polished

Keep a record Of the mileage

were last creased. This will help
you attend to such parts as the uni
versal joints as regular as clock
work. It will also save you the

for them.
Give the car a dustin off and
polish some part Of it every morning
before you start out, rain or shine.
It's the only way to enjoy the bene-

to clean after the rain If you go out
with it clean in the first place.
Just keep in mind that every day

Timely TOURING TIPS

Ne need to worry over the posi-
bility of the hard surfaced road
suddenly lapsing into the dusty va
riety If there are cars approaching in
the opposite direction. If their hoods
are shiny the road is probably good
for its entire length.
Remember that the stretches of the

speed up a bit are likely to be the
speed traps.
In travelling through strange local

Views on the News

Does distinction pay? The i'm
portance of owning car that isn't
like everyone elses has been empha-
sized by the car manufacturers, and
many motorists have acted upon the
suggestion. But now comes an argu-
ment in favor of distinction that
hinges on safety. If the two cars
had not looked so much alike Will
liam Ashworth of New York would
not have leaped upon the running
board of William c. Schwenk's car,
thinking Schwenk the man who
nearly ran over him a short while
before. And the two men would not
have gone over a 60-foot bridge to
their death.
"Olives Kill 50 Each Day.. Change
the word OLIVES" to autos" and you
will see how one news item was
made to distort the statements issued
by the National Bureau Of Casualty
and Surety Underwriters. The un-
derwriters said nothing about autos
killing people any more than one
would speak of canned tomatoes us
killing people. They used the term
motor mishaps'', which is an alto
gether different story.
Pretty good showing. OF the 50
New York State motorists whose
licenses were either suspended or
revoked recently only one woman
driver was named. The suspension
was made necessary pending investi-
cation of an accident, not to intox-
ication, homicide, speeding, reckless
driving. fraud or the many other
causes that applied to the more ex-
perienced drivers. The only trouble
with taking license away from a
woman is that her husband may
have to take the wheel in order to
keep the family car useful That
might be case of jumping out of
the frying pan into the fire.

AGRICULTURE

A shoWcr-bath system for washing
hogs before they enter the killing pen
was recently installed in a large pack
ing plant at Salt Lake City, Utah, as
means of improving sanitary condi-
tons about the place in general and
particularly to aid in maintaining the
scalding vat in clean condition. Hogs
normally are dirty and dusty, and if
not thoroughly washed before killing
will carry many impurities into the
scalding vat. Maintaining the SAM
tary condition Of the scalding vat has
been one of the most troublesome
problems of the meat packing plants.
The shower installed in this plant
at suggestion from DR.. E. P. Dur
ham, in charge of Federal meat in
spection at Salt Lake City, consists of
battery of five water nozzles of the
overhead fire extinguisher type which
can not clog by corrosion. AS the
floor of the pen is of concrete, even
the feet of the hogs are thoroughly
cleaned.
The practice has not only reduced
the contamination of the water in the
scalding vat, but has also served to do
away with the dust which ordinarily
arises from dirty hogs, thus protect
ing the employees of the killing sec
ton of the establishment from infec-
ton and irritation OF the nose and
throat.
The benefits of the plan greatly
outweigh the slight expense OF install
lation and operation. Officials of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture state that the practice of wash
ing hogs prior to slaughter is suitable
and advisable in any plant, whether
under Federal supervision or not.

A corn crop calculated to bulge the
graneries of Maryland farmers is in
sight this year if average growing
conditions prevail from now until har-
vest. This fact is brought to the fore
by John S. Dennee, Federal crop sta
tistican fer Maryland. He makes the
statement, he says, after reading
scores of reports from farmer-corres-
pondents on the average date Of Aug
ust /, and summing up his own ooser-
vations made while on a trip over the
State during July.
Conditions on August 1 were esti-
mated by the Crop Reporting Board
of the United States Department of
Agriculture at sc per cent of nor
NAL, according to Mr.. Dennee, sug-
costing a yield of SO bushels to the
acre and a probable production of a.
$4,000 bushels. Production last year
was 18,538,000 bushels, and the aver
age for the five years, 1920-1924, is
23,926,OOO.
A short crop last year, caused for
the most part by unfavorable weather
at planting time and subsequently,
combined wit ha purpose on the part
of farmers to increase feed crops this
year are believed to be the major rea-
sons for larger acreage-estimated to
be s per cent over that of 1924.
Persistently dry weather in June
allowed of close cultivation of the
crop. And farmers paid good deal
more attention last spring to the Sc
lection of their seed. Figured at cur
rent prices the crop in sight this year
has an estimated. worth of about $780,
GAL 900 at the farm gate. Little of
Maryland's corn is marketed as grain.
The product goes mainly to maintain
work animals and breeding stock on
the farms. What is not used in that
way is marketed in the form of live
stock and livestock products. Corn is
the most important single crop grown
in Maryland.

A winterwheat crop of 1000
bushels is predicted this year for
Maryland by the United States Crop
Reporting Board, according to John
S .Dennee, Federal crop statistican
for Maryland. Production last year
was $4,000, and the five-year aver
age Q92O-1924) is 100000 bushels.
The harvested area this year was
$4,000 acres, comparable with 540,-
900 harvested in 1924.
The winter just ended was extra
good for the growth of wheat, and the
Maryland crop "came through" in ex-
cellent shape, says Mr.. Dennee-little
winter killing excepting in the Allie
gany mountains district. Farmers
generally tell of high yields. The un-
usually favorable weather resulted in
well-filled heads, plump, heavy ker-
nels. Quality averaged 90 per cent of
a high medium grade-six per cent
better than the 10-year average
Yields averaged Fl bushels to the acre
against 1911, the average of the pre-
ceding ten years. Threshing is for the
most part ended.
At prevailing prices the crop has an
estimated value of about $15,561 ,0O(
at the farm gate. Wheat is Mary
lands second crop in total value.
