j MOTORING EXPENSE
IS COMING DOM
Lightness of New Cars and Lower
ed Price of Supplies the
Causes
| ( That sales conditions In the nuto-
I mobile field have been widely affected
by the recent cuts in the price of gaso
line, oil, tires and other supplies Is
the declaration of Robert L. 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. We hear examples of this sort
| every day."
Overland Runs Second
to Barney Oldfield's Car
i The Cobb-Evans Auto company, dis
tributors of Overland automobiles in
| Kresno, Cal., and racing enthusiasts
! extraordinary, have recently added
new laurels to their position as pre-
I mier "home-gard" motor speedsters.
Their special Overland racing car won
second money in t"he Kern county sl,-
000 challenge trophy race, second in
the special 25-mile event and fourth
in the 50-mile free-for-all, at the Ba
kersfleld Home Coming Week cele
bration on April 22. The showing of
; this entry caused great joy among the
| loyal Californians who. in the past
! few years, come to regard auto racing
, as the greatest of all outdoor sports,
i and who are especially enthusiastic
; over a local winner.
- , The showing of the Overland in the
- j 50-mile free-for-all was especially
j good, as the little pleasure car was
pitted against some of the biggest rao-
J ing cars and drivers in the country,
j Barney Oldfield won the event, setting
I a new world's record by finishing the
j course in 48 minutes, 3 4-5 seconds.
I Gordon finished second, Rucksteil
i third and McKelvy, in the Overland,
I fourth.
In the SI,OOO Kern county 25-mile
I race, Herman Erickson drove the
Overland to second place in 25 min
; Utes and 21 seconds. Rucksteil took
j this event in 25 minutes, 16 2-3 sec
onds, less than 5 seconds ahead of the
1 Overland. McKelvy took second place
in the other 25-mile event, in 23 min
utes and 10 seconds, less than 7 sec
onds behind the winner.

It weighs 2885 pounds, completely equipped—ON THE SCALES. It runs sixteen miles per gallon of gasoline.
It runs seven hundred miles per gallon of oil. Owners average seven thousand miles per set of tires. It sells for
$1785, and—lt possesses every high-grade feature found on high-priced sixes. Speed, 3to 55 miles per hour without
shifting gears. Climbs every hill between Chicago and Boston on high. Rides the bumps like a boat. Distinguished

It must be a light six. You don't want a heavy one. You have learned that carrying around

A great many manufacturers know that you have learned this. That's why so many light
weight sixes, selling at moderate prices, have come on the market this season. You have a
wide selection. Your only problem is which one to choose.

CHANDLER MOTOR CAR CO, Manufacturers. 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. Awordinglv. the manufac-j
turers have improved their cars; and j
the result is that the buyer and owner
lias a bettor oar than he would if cir
cumstances were different. •
"The gasoline we are getting: nowa
days is heavy and hard to vaporize.
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."

Lozier Radiator Type
Has Proved Very Popular
"Undoubtedly the new streamline
body is responsible for the great num
ber of Lozier radiator types," says
John G. Perrin, chief engineer of the
I.ozier Company. "Just the same, it
is the source of considerable satisfac
tion to me that the Lozier design has
come to the fore. When we brought
out our first car ten years ago I stood
practically alone in advocating our
present style of radiator. Every ma

Mercedes type radiator and even

the advisability of departing from
standard practice.

! with the adoption of the streamline

I hibted the only streamline body at the

"Our radiator fitted in exactly with

; adopted the streamline idea they were
[confronted with the task of merging

jwe foresaw —a speedy change toward
■ i the lazier radiator.
"The majority of automobile de-
I signers agree with me that this change
should prove a welcome one in every
I way as it tends toward a style dis
tinctively American. The rapid adop
