Tests of Performance
Safest Criterion to Buyer
"Within the last few years, there
has been a general realization on the
part of motor car makers, that' the
people who buy cars are decidedly
motor-wise, and a car that hasn't a
pedigree as a thoroughbred is not
salable any longer," says R. B.
Bishop, sales manager for the King
Motor Car Company, Detroit.
"There's no denying that there have
been a lot of 'good looking' cars 'put
over' —and it was just that handsome
superficiality that fooled many a
buyer and afterwards made him
adopt a 'show me' attitude when he
bought again.
"Realizing that the best Evidence
of King's quality, ability ani stamina
would be a series of strenuous tests
under the most severe conditions
imaginable, the King Company im
mediately proceeded to put the car
through her paces and mafle the ac
tual record of the car's performance
the best selling arguments to con
vince the critical and investigating
buyer.
"Among the most noteworthy of
a dozen remarkable achievements
was the 10,850 mile non-stop motor
test held under, the supervision of
the A. A. A. That feat alone would
have put King cars on the map, and
every day's performance since in the
hands of thousands of owners has
proven after nil that the non-stop
record was not an unusual accom
plishment for a King."

HOME-READING COURSE FOR
CITIZEN-SOLDIERS
(Issued by the War Department mid all rights to reprint reserved)
/ ————— V
This course of thirty daily lessons is offered to the men
selected for service in the National Army as a practical help
in getting started in the right way It is informal in tone
and does not attempt to give binding rules and directions.
These are contained in the various manuals and regulations
of the Uftited States Army, to which this Course is merely
introductory.
DESSOX XO. 12
TEAMWORK IX THE ARMY
Preceding lessons: 1. Your Post
of Honor. 2. Making Good as a
Soldier. 3. Nine Qualities of a Sol
dier. 4. Getting fteady for Camp.
5. First Days in Camp. 6. Clean
liness in Camp. 7. Your Health.
8. Marching and Care of Feet 9.
Your Equipment and Arms. 10.
Recreation in Camp. 11. Playing
the Game.)
So far in this course we have been
taking up some of the problems
which each soldier has to face and
solve for himself; how to adjust
himself as quickly as possible to the
routine of camp life; how to keep
himself and all his belongings clean
in spite of the difficulties in the
way; how to look after his own
health and comfort; how to take
care of arms and equipment; and
how to get real enjoyment, as well
as benefit, out of Army life.
If the course were to stop Just at
this point, it might leave in your
mind a false impression. For after
all, the soldier is not an individual
player in the great game of war; he
is valuable chiefly as a member of
a team. It Is a team of enormous
size. It Is organized in rather a
complicated way. This team we call
the Army.
Your Army life will be more in
teresting if you know in a general
way how the team is organized. This
will enable you to see more clearly
where you fit in and what is ex
pected you.
If you have been working for a
business concern, you are already
familiar with many of the ejements
of Army organization. You have
been in touch with the same things
under different names.

are working together—there is al
most always some one in direct
charge of each group of workers,
mis person may be called a fore
man in the shop, a chief clerk in
an office, a floor walker in a depart
ment store or by any one of the
number of other titles; in the Army
we call him a corporal or a ser
geant. Going up a step, you know
that in qvery large concern there
are numerous officers who take
charge of various departments of the
business such as the superintendent,
the traffic manager, the advertising
manager, the sales manager, the
secretary .the vice president, and so
on; in the Army we call the men
in corresponding positions captains,
majors, colonels, and generals. Fin_
ally, you have at the top- of the
business conoern a president or a
general manager who directs every
thing; in the Army he is a com
manding general.
This general likeness between
business organiation and Army or
ganization is helpful, but must not
b . e . , ca T, r i ed 100 far ' Ther e is one
vital difference: The average busi
ness concern is somewhat easy
going; the responsibility for each
piece of work is not always defi
nitely fixed. In the Army every
body, on the other hand is held to
the strictest account. There is very
seldom any doubt as to the man to
be held responsible for each task.
Responsibility Always Fixed
Within each rank, from major
general to private, every man has
his individual ranking, depending
upon hts length of service in the
office which he holds. This rank
ing insures that in every situation
somebody always has authority and
is responsible for whatever is done.
Even If two private soldiers are
working together without super-
I vision, the one who has been longer
HARRISBITRG TELEGRAPH
Jin the service takes charge and the
| other must obey his orders. This
j rule applies everywhere.
In civilian life there is time for
argument. You may have better
ideas than your boss about how a
certain thing should be done and
possibly may convince him and get
his original orders changed. In
Army life nothing of this Kind can
be permitted. The officer) in charge
always has the full responsibility.
Whatever orders he gives must be
instantly obeyed. It is far better to
take action, even though the thing
may not be done in the best possible
way, than it is to stand still and
debate. Lack of immediate action
in the crisis of a battle might mean
that the Army would be defeated,
thousands of lives lost, and possibly
the honor of the country stained.
Think over this difference between
Army organization and clvilion or
ganization. The longer you think
about It, the more clearly you will
sec why your own interests demand
that you should fit into your place
in the Army and follow instructions
much more strictly than is neces
sary in civil life.
The Army is governed by mili
tary law. This means that soldiers
are not brought to trial in civil
courts, except for certain serious
crimes, but are subject to military
courts of inquiry, summary courts
and courts-martial. However, this
will never be a question of much
importance to the great majority of
men in the National Army.
Success in Winning Victories
Success in winning victories is
the object for which the Army ex
ists. In comparison nothing else
counts. Every officer and every
soldier must be ready to make any
sacrifice, big or little, to accomplish
this object. An officer may spent
years in working out solutions to
military problems, only to find in
the end that all the credit for what
he has done Is swallowed up In the
generßl reputation of the Army. If
this proves to be the case, he has
no cause for complaint. It is the
rule of the Army that everything
must be done "for the good of the
service."
In the same way you may be
called upon to carry through some
dangerojus mission or to perform un
pleasant duties. Every such call is
an opportunity to show your loyalty
Ito the service and to the Nation.
! Remember in all these cases that
] hundreds of thousands of other men
in the Army, from top to bottom,
like yourself are working firet and
all the time for the success of the
team.
It Is usually the Army with the
strongest team spirit that fights its
way through to victory. Try to cul
tivate that spirit in yourself and
antong your comrades.
BIG DEMAND FOR
STUDEBAKERS
Announcmeent of Increase "in
Prices Causes Intending
Purchasers to Buy
"The American pupllc is gradually
awakening to the fact that prac
tically all materials entering into
the construction of a motor car have
been rapidly increasing In price,"
says P. Driseoll, Studebaker dis
tributor for Harrisburg and vicinity.
"This fact has been brought very
forcibly to the attention of the motor
car buying public by the automo
bile manufacturers, who, in their
newspaper ads for many weeks past,
have announced an increase in their
prices. Some of these makers have
even been forced to make a second
increase since July Ist."
"A yeart ago Studebaker made i
huge purchases and placed long-1
term contracts for raw materials, j
making it possible to continue the i
present low prices while other man
ufacturers of cars in the Studebaker
class advanced their prices. But
at the same time we continually
warned the public that the increas
ing cost of labor and materials might
force Studebaker to raise their
prices at any time without notice.
lln all sincerity, and without any 1
! effort to stampede people into buy
ing our car, we persistently urged ;
intending purchasers to buy their >
Studebaker at that particular time,

oning is being demonstrated daily
