DETROIT. Oct. 25. Formal announce
ment ot & number of Important changes
In the Studebaker Una was made from the
local hcadquajters ot the corporation to
day. While the alterations are not of a
sweeping nature, they embody a num
ber of extremely Interesting features.
The lino for next yoar win be com'
prlaed of two chassis typciH-a "Four" nt
fl.OGO and a "Six" at $1,875. Both cars ara
rittcd witli left-handed steer and center
control. Kach model carries a two-unit
cloctrio starting and lighting devlco a
standard equipment- The same type of
full-floating axle employed on the "Six"
Is supplied with the "Four." Bodies are
of the streamline type and with full U
doors.
In both cars the gasollno supply has"
been placed In the dash, permitting an
Ideal feed to the motor, without air pres
sure, by means of t gravitation.
Increased efficiency has been through
out tho keynote, ot tho chassis dealgg.
To get the maximum service out of each
gallon of gasollno has been the obvious
. endeavor of the Studebaker engineers.
Small Ho re Motors.
The motors are of the small-bore, long
stroke type, ot dimension similar to
those of the remarkably successful "Six"
of the last year. Considerable attention
has been given to improved carburotlon.
The position of the gasoline tank permits
the Studebaker-Sc'hcbler ' carburetor to
bo mounted high up on the side of tho
motor, allowing the" use of a very short
Intake manifold and assuring plenty of
warm air tor the mixture. There Is a
dash adjustment by means of which the
operator of the car can secure perfect
carbureter conditions at all times with
out leaving his seat.
No less than thirteen Tlmken roller
bearings ara used to support the shaft
ing and axles of the car, reducing, fric
tion and permitting adjustments so ac
curate, as to mako gear operations al
most noiseless. " '
The Improvement in the electrical equip
ment Is marked and to a great extent
original. The electrlo motor for cranking
Is connected 'to the front end df the drive;
shaft by a roller chain which moves only
whllo the starting operation Is In prog
ress. Tho generator Is on the opposite
of the motor and drives' sMently by a
ejiaft.connected Ith" Wld Camshaft gear.

tnd carry no equipment.

floors ot all Studebaker dealers In a short
time.
CADILLAC COMPANY IS .
SHOWING ENCLOSED CARS
A beautiful limousine and an Inside
drive limousine are on .exhibition, at the
Cadillac salesroom, KXH-W.Farnatn street.
Many refinements aro noticeable In the
1SU Cadlllao enclosed car, In the slop
ing hood, tho curved dash, the rounded
too. the bullt-ln-wlth-motal windshield,
the s ashless, noiseless windows sliding
In felt grooves and adjusted by a handle
Instead of a pull strap, the wider doors.
the clear running boards, the roomy
Interior, all ot which add to the satis-;.
faction ot the one owning one ot these
cars.
The mechanical Improvements Include
the two-rpwed direct drive axle. This
affords an unusually, low gear ratio on
the first speed, which permits the car
to get under way more.. smoothly, i .and
quickly, "What . Is more important, It
affords two high speeds on "direct drive.
The lower one permits driving "in traf
fio on direct drive with loss gear 'chang
ing than usual. Tho higher one will
drive the car forty miles an hour wltn
the smoothness of a watch. It is the
real automobile Improvement this year.
Starting In cold weather without a
moment,' delay, Is assured by an elec
trlo heater tor tha carburetor. Just press
a button, that's all. The heater and the

time that one Is approaching In front the
result Is almost total Inability to see a
yard ahead. X haven't a doubt that many
accidents are due to this cause. But
here Is a really sctcntlflo solution ot the
difficulty. As everyone knows light Ir
reflected from a polished surface at the
same angle It strikes It. Scientifically
the angle of reflection Is equal to th ,
angle of Incidence. In other words 1.
the raj a of light strike the glass at right
angles they will be reflected at right
angles, and of course Into the driver's
eyes. But It we place tho upper glass
of the windshield so that It projects at
the lower edge, as I can do with the
windshield on this Hudson six here, then
the light will strike the glass at an angle
of about 45 degrees whether coming from
tho front or the back. The light from
the rear will be reflected downward Into
tho car, and the lights from the front
will ba reflected Into the air. The driver
will havo absolutely clear vision without
the slightest annoyance from these re
flected lights."
Sir. Smith demonstrated the truth ot
his clever Idea by taking a Hudson six
out on the brightly lighted street and
showing how by placing the adjustable
windshield as stated the glare ot the
lights was entirely avoided.

GETTING RID OF REFLECTIONS
FROM GLASS OF WINDSHIELD
"Here's a little hunch," said Guy L.
3mlth, local distributor of Hudson cafe,
"that will save drivers many anxious mo
ments. Drive at night along a road or
street crowded with automobile and ob
serve how bewildering and dangerous Is
the effect of the glare of the many lights
reflected from both sides of the plate
glass in the windshield. This is particu
larly noticeable when you have the top
town, but the windshield up as protec
tion from a cold wind or from dust. If
v, tear comes up behind you at the same
One of the most familiar figures along
the country roads of England is Miss
N'ora Hough and her motorcycle. Miss
lough Is a veteran rider, spending much
'me In the saddle. She does not confine
ner rides to short trips near her own
home, but has visited most ot the points
of Interest throughout the kingdom.
Miss Hough Is her own mechanic and
offers a number nt valuable suggestions
for the woman motorcyclist who contem
plates a trip of any length. Before start
ing on a trip Miss Hough always sees
that her tool roll Is complete. "The
spares must be gone through," says Miss
Hough. "It Is wise to carry one of every
thing; plug, valve, belt fastener and
piece of blr, should transmission be by
belt; If by chain, then a few spare links,
and should spring fasteners be used, al
ways carry more than one. It ono has
only one, It lias a happy knack ot break
ing while being fitted. It Is well to carry
a spare butt-ended tube and repair out
fit, also a length ot Insulating tape ami
a bit of copper wire. I also carry with
me a special small can ot petrol, which
Is never touched unless absolutely necessary."
Although Miss Hough sees that hor
mount Is In excellent' condition before
fitartlng on a trip, and seldom has neod
of these repair parts, she declares that
the pleasure ot a ride Is .doubled when
one has the satisfaction ot knowing 'she
Is In no danger ot being stranded on
seme country road on account of the lack
ot a small repair part.
Miss Hough also says that to fully cn
Joy motorcycling a woman must give due
ottention to tha clothing worn. Thlsi of
course, .depends somewhat on the time
of year, but It must always be warm
and comparatively loose. Miss Houjth's
favorite outfit consists of it looso Nor
folk Jacket, short skirt and close-fitting
cap, with the necessary extra wind
proof and waterproof coat attached to
the luggngo carrier. Goggles, too, are
considered necessary b Miss Hough,
when one Is taking a long trip.

Radiator Troubles
"The advent of November means the
beginning, of radiator difficulties," says
George B. Daniels, vice president ot tho
Oakland Motor Car company, ''unless the
motorist has already prepared for the
winter.
"The only really effective method of
safeguarding the motor Is by the use
,of some liquid or solution with a lower
freezing point than water. The most
reliable 'solution Is alcohol and water, as
alcohol does not act upon the metals ot
the radiator nor upon rubber,"

AUTO USED AS INSPECTION
CAR ON FLORIDA ROAD
A new use for the versatile automobile.
This time the machine has been made
to do duty as an Inspection car on a
railroad.
A year ago L. H. Dlmmltt was elected
vice president and general manager of
the ApalachtcoU. railroad In Florida. Mr.
Dimmltt had steel rims" bolted onto the
wheels of his Interstate machine and had
the steering gear unbuckled and the front
wheels locked to the axle. A steel plate
was riveted onto the machine In such a
manner that an. ordinary ratchet Jacket
could be plaoed under the car In five
minutes and the car turned around.
The automobile Inspection car has been
working every day for a year and has
only been repaired once, that when an
engine poked Us nose Into the radiator.
It runs 100 miles a day and maintains
a speed of thirty-five miles an hour for
100 miles without difficulty,

No Othtr "Six" in the
World Near.Thia Price
The new Studebaker "SIX" stands absolutely alone and
I apart In the entire field of six-cylinder cars.
At Its) price of J1.57B less by hundreds than the price of
' - tany other "Six" It brings you vastly more than the
operative advantages of the "Six,"
It brings you these advantages, emphasltod and enhanced
because this "SIX" Is not only a manufactured "SIX "
but a Btiideibaker.manufactured "SIX."
Carries Seven
in Comfort
It brings you passenger capacity for seven.
It brings you the manifest4 advantages ot electrlo lighting
and starting through, a two-unit system that has
proved Itself on thousands ot Studebaker cars.
You have nover before been ablo to buy such a car at
11,676.
(Today you cannot find such another car, at this price. In
the entire world.
Six Thousand
Manufacturing Operations
HoW completely the Studebaker "SIX" Is the product of
the great Studebaker plants you will realize when you
' know that Ha construction requires more than ,090
manufacturing operations.
We build Its motor, from the raw Iron and stsel, down
through the numerous processes of casting, machin
ing, grinding and assembling to the finished product.
We build its full-floating rear axel; stamp ths light through
tremendously strong housing from the sheet steel) we
forge, cut and machine the axle and transmlealon gears,
.Throughout the rear axle and transmission, and in the
front wheels we use 13 Tlmken roller bearings .for
r 'uulet, iasy running.
Y. ' economical
of Fuel and Tires
In fuel consumption we believe the "SIX" will match, If
no surpass, the economy of any car of equal horse
power. Its motor size is Hx5 inches.
It is economical because, in spite of its 121-Inch whelbase
It. la light, and easy on its 34x4-lnch tires; yet it 1
wonderfully strong.
It Is generously roomy and richly upholsteied, and carries '
its seven passengers! in utmost comfort
In design and line, the "SIX' acknowledges no greater
beauty and srace.
Separate
Electrical Units
The starting and lighting system Is the Wagner two-unit,
storting motor- and generator separate.
Lamp are Oray & Davis' highest quality, parabolic type.
In short the "SIX" lacks nothing in irtyle, beauty or comfort.
"Buy it Because it's
a Studebaker"
Not because of the
price mark; but be
cause of the trade
'mayk.
Not because of the
good looks; but be
cause of the gdod
name.
Not because of the
outside, but be
cause of the inside.
