Morton, , local representative for the Studebaker Corporation, who says that many re ! cent Studebaker buyers are persons who have heretofore remained out of j the market, due to their former belief i that maintenance expense was greater | than they could afford, i "I had this increased efficiency 1 brought home to me quite forcibly by | a personal friend," said Mr. Morton, |of the Keystone. "This man owned a heavy, costly car last year. He de [ elded that the cost of maintenance was too high, and changed last win j ter to a Studebaker light 'Six.' " ! Of course, the change resulted in a | greatly increased mileage for each gal ! lon of fuel. This saving was rendered j all the more emphatic by the fart that he is now paying twelve cents per | gallon for gasoline, instead of twenty j this due to the general lowering of j price which has featured the gasoline business all over the country. "Thought he has not yet bought any j | new tires, and expects to get much _ ; more than tho guaranteed mileage ott lof his present set, he knows that, when tho occasion arises, he can se cure tires for his Studebaker 'Six' at less than half the cost of those he I bought for his last year's car. I "A satisfactory grade of lubricating j oil can be bought for twenty-five per I cent, less than he paid a year ngo, and j goes infinitely further in supplying tho j needs of his car. "And a feature of which he is not. I yet aware is the lowered cost of win ter overhauling, adjustment and pos | sible installation of repairs. ! "His Studebaker 'Six' is so designed that the owner himself, if he chooses, | can take down any unit needing ad { .iustment. If he has the work done jat a garage, this merit is just is strong as the amount of labor in- I volvod is comparatively small, dellv \ er.v is prompt, and the bill is accord- I ingy reasonable. "The prospective motorist who may i have had acquaintance with a 'Gar j age man s delight,' will be amazed at the efficiency and economical record j of a car of the Studebaker light 'Six' i class.

CLEVELAND OHIO 200-mile Saxon nonstop contest for dealers May 16, according to the first batch of reports to be received. In this contest 180 Saxon dealers were entered from all sections of tho country. Each of the competing cars was driven 200 miles without stopping the engine—a total of 36,000 milas of continuous service under all condi tions of roads and weather. Each driver was accompanied by a newspa per man who acted as observer and checked the amount of gasoline con sumed. The average mileage scored was at the rate of less than one-fourth cent a mile for fuel for each passenger. Where conditions were most favor able, as in New Rochelle, N. Y., Des Moines, la., and Webb City, Mo., an average of better than 47 miles to the gallon was secured. Despite heavy rains, muddy roads and steen hills in some territories, all but six of the con testants did better than 30 miles to the gallon. The lowest score was 26.7 miles per gallon. Reports show also that an average speed of 20.9 miles an hour was main tained by the Saxons throughout the run. One dealer averaged 27.6 miles, and another on a short speed test managed to get his car up to 43 miles an hour. Jackson Man Speaks of the Poor Fuel Problem "Most of us who drive automobiles find ourselves complaining now and then, or oftener, about the low grate of gasoline now marketed," said De- Witt Fry, who looks out for the Jack son interests here. "We may be jus tified, in a measure; but the very fact that gasoline has steadily grown poorer in quality has had much to do with motor car improvement. So here is th# 'ill wind' saying illustrated aeain. "No manufacturer who is alive to' the situation is willinK to sec his car 1 robbed of much of its efficiency by the fuel.

Accordingly, motors are given greatar power of suction, in order to get a full charge of fuel into the tiring chambers. The more progressive manufacturers are also providing means of heating the carburetors, as heat makes the gasoline vaporize more easily. On the Jackson, the carbeuretor is heated by a hot-air jacket through which the exhaust is directed. "This practice has been adopted by some makers, while others jacket the carburetor with hot water from the radiator. The hot-air system, I be lieve, is better, for the carburetor be gins to warm up with the first few explosions in the motor; but with the other system the water in the radiator must be heated, which takes some time, before the carburetor is af fected."
