Staggers the Imagination

Each of the three Commanders achieved the full 25,O0O miles, If they had started due east from Atlantic City and travelled 25000 miles they would have crossed the Atlantic Ocean, Portugal Spain, the Mediterranean Sea, Italy, the Adriatic Sea. Albania, Greece, the Aegean Sea- Turkey, Arme- mia, Persia, the Caspian Sea, Turkestan, China, Manchuria, Korea, the Japan Sea, Japan, the Pa ciic Ocean, the United States, the Atlantic Ocean. Portugal, Spain, the Mediterranean, Italy, the Adriatic, Albania, Greece and finished somewhere in Turkey-al at an average speed in excess of a mile minute.
 In this latest supreme achievement The Stude- baker Commander has distinguished itself beyond all question as the worlds champion automobile.
 All stops for gasoline, oi water and repairs were included in the 22,968 minutes during which the Commander Roadsters travelled 25,000 miles,

The sedan turned completely over on the icy track while going at a speed of 65 miles per hour. Repairs to the sedan, of course were abnormal as result of this wreck. It took an hour and 57 minutes to get the sedan back on the track and this is included in the total elapsed time
 Mechanical repairs on the sedan, figured at regular retail prices for parts and labor, totaled S4OS.A or one and sixty-three hundredths of a cent per mile
New Britain herald., 1927-11-14
The Task:

Under sanction and supervision of the Ameri- can Automobile Association two Studebaker Con- mander Roadsters and a Commander Sedan set out to break all existing stock car records for en- durance and speed not already held by Stude- baker, and to establish new ores for distances which no other car had ever dared to attempt.
New Britain herald., 1927-11-14

The astounding feat of The Studebaker Com- manders proves that these great cars will not only give thrilling performance, easy acceptance of every task placed upon them by the ordinary own- CTS but also economical operation and long life
 What It Proves This greatest of all tests of automobile stamina proves five things of importance to every pur- chaser, quite regardless of the question of speed It proves that Chief Engineer Delmar G.
 Roos, Research Engineer William S. James, and their able associates, with the use of all the vast facilities of Stude- bakers proving ground and laborator- ies, have created in The Commander car of such thoroughly sound design as to be we'll called 'the greatest achieve ment of postwar automotive engineer ing" & 2-It proves that this brilliant design has been carried out in plants capable of the
 finest precision manufacture known to the autuomotive industry. Every owner is given immediate evidence of Com- mander quality in the fact that it may be driven forty miles an hour the day he buys it.
 3-lt proves that in these plants The Con- mander is built by expert workmen, trained and supervised to carry out the great design in worthy manner. At proves that the highest quality of al- Joy steels and other materials have been used in the careful making of all parts of the car.
 5-It proves that the great excess power of The Commander serves useful purpose in giving the car long life through s,ls- tained hard usage. It is no wonder, in view of all the above that The Commander far outsells the combined total of all other cars in the world of equal or greater rated horsepower

Cars Checked Afterward

At the conclusion of the run the cars were taken over by the Technical Committee of the American Automobile Association and completely disas- sembled. Only after careful scrutiny of all parts and of the engineering releases used by the Stude- baker factory in current production were the rec ord-breaking Commanders certified as 'strictIy stock models, fully equipped"

Studebaker Commanders smashed distance rec ords between 5000 and 15000 miles, and set new ones up to 25,000 miles. The two roadsters Oist price S1745) averaged 65.3l miles per hour. and the sedan (lst price S1545) averaged 6l.9S miles per hour for the 25,000 consecutive miles,

Officials of the American Automobile Associa- tion-experts every one-took complete charge. Thirty-five of them were assigned to the most amazing test of its kind that the world has ever known. They were on the job every minute of the l6 days and nights during which The Con- manders sped around the track at better than mile minute speed.
 Studebaker furnished the cars and employed drivers and pit men. Determination and record ing of time and distance were handled entirely by American Automobile Association officials.

|ARD|NE HAS PLAN
FOR FARM RELIEF
Defending Proposal, Says So
luton Is Not Likely in Single
Legislative Enactment.

BY the Associated Press.
Farm relief Is not kelly to be ac-
complished by single legislative
measure, nor are Federal laws sufi.
cient to cover the whole field Of farm
legislation, in the opinion of Secretary
Jardine.
Federal laws, he believes, have been
so emphasized in recent years that
State farm legislation has been over
| looked.
Expressing his views in an article
published today in the Oklahoma
| Stockman and Farmer, the Agricul-
ture Secretary defended his own plan
| for farm relief through stabilization
corporations under the direction of
Federal farm loan board. Replying to
critics who have termed his plan "a
raid on the Treasury and shameless
subsidy" because of it's proposed re-
volving fund advanced by the Govern
ment to set it In operation, he said
there was precedent for the fund in
the Federal farm loan and Federal re-
serve system.
Holds Charge UnfOunded.
"If there were no way { repaying
to the Government loans from the
fund there would be ample ground
for the charge that the plan is raid
on the Treasury he added. "If there
is g. way, the charge Is unfounded. ]
believe there is a way.
Safety of the public money ad-
vanced out Of the revolving fund over
a period of years depends on the abil-
ity of the corporation to sell at price
sufficiently above the purchase price
to pay interest on the loans and other
costs of storing. This. believe, is de.
cidedly possible since this corporation
would operate only i'll years when
clearly needed to minimize price de.
preston due to abnormally large sur
pluses.
There may be years when there
would be some loss, but any such loss
could be paid out of the reserve built
up in years of profitable operations"
Illustrating how the plan would
have worked last year in cotton, Mr..
Jardine said approximately 10,9S0,000
bales of the record cotton crop of
10000 bales were marketed from
October, to January at an average
price Of slightly less than II cents
a pound. A large number Of farm.
ers had to sell at that time and price
to meet demands Of credits for pay
ments.
StaDtuLdttOH LdchiHs.
Had a stabilization corporation be-
gun to buy cotton when the price
was approaching the low level, with
maximum or objective price Of Is
cents, 1t would probably have been
necessary to buy comparatively little
to cause the price to rise to Is cents,
Mr. Jardine said. with the market
knowing that the corporation had the
power to bid the price up to that
point.
1.-The producers who had to sell,
or did sell. from October to January,
at an average price Of ii cents. would
have had an opportunity to sell at
prices ranging upward to Is cents"
the Secretary continued. "If the |
price had averaged IA cents, instead
Of IL, the 10.9S0,000 bales would have |
brought an additional income of about |
s165. 200. 900. In other words. each |
cent Of increase in price Of that guam |
tity Of cotton would have meant a |
gain Of SIS 200 600 to the cotton belt"
