TRIBUNE MANY FEATURES IN STUDEBAKER MODELS SUCCESS Design and Construction Are Mechanically Perfect in Newest Cars The real worth and ability of any car must, in the final analysis, be judged largely from the standpoint iness of its chassis de- sign and constuction.

Correct tire sizes for each model were worked out by Studebaker en- gineers with the co-operation of ex- perts from the tire manufacturers. Tire sizes selected, taking into con- sideration weight, power and wheel base of each model to give high mile- age, are: 32x314” on the “Light Four,” 32x4” on the “Light Six,” and 33x44” on the “Big-Six.’ The “Big-Six” is the first car at its price with cord tires as original equipment. Evidences of quality in the new Studebaker cars are high-grade work- manship throughout, the use of ‘the best materials,. such as chrome-nickel and vanadium ‘steel, the use of Tim ken roller bearings throughout, a gen- erous use of drop forgings, and the unusual attention which is given to all the small gad seemingly insignifi- cant details that go into the construc- tion of a car. The Chasses Studebaker engineers have pro- duced, in the new models, chasses of remarkablo strength and solidity with unusual simplicity due to the elimina- tion of all unnecessary parts. Bak ance, lightness and a scientific dis- tr ion of weight ovor the entire length of the chassis frame has re- ted in exceptional roadability and economy in operation. The chassis frame of each model is of pressed steel, channél section, with a narrow parallel forward :portion to permit of a short turning radius, the ‘ear of the frame being widened to urnish a support for the ‘body ..with- ut overhang, also permitting of: di- rect» support on the rear springs by the use of simple ‘spring © brackets without overhang. Framo ‘side’ members «have . deep ections to resist deflection’ and are red together by means of five © members’ strongly reimforced with gussets. - All bends in the side channel are exceptionally well ‘brac- ed, resulting in a very rigid construc struction and a large factor of safety. The front axel is a umit forging from high-grade steel especially heat- treated. Easy: steering and better road driving qualities have been se- cured iby pfroper tilting of axel, locat- ing the steering-knuckle pin close to center line of wheel, increasing steer- ing arm: leverages, reducing bearing pressures on steering-knuckle pin and by the use of well-lubricated harden- ed and ground steering-knuckle“bush ings. The steering-knuckle of » each wheel spindle is large in section and carries two Timker bearings on which the front wheels revolve. The springs of all models are semt- elliptic, underslung in. the rear ‘and are built in Studebaker's: spring plant. ‘The rear’ springs are of: the best quality alloy steel. “~All: ‘spring-eyes ere bronze-bushed, the irear “springs being fitted with flanged. bushings {which are pressed in place and ma- chined to exact width, thus eliminat- ing all side play, rattle and wear.

TIRE DELIVERS MAXINUM WORTH WHEN INFLATED Mileage Is Lessened When Flattened Heat is acknowledged as one of the chief enemies of good rubber and be-| cause of this many motorists blame all tire troubles occurring in sum- mer on the hot weather. But according to R. B. Loubeck of the Missouri Valley Motor Co., local agents for Kelly-Springfield tires and tubes, the weather never gets hot enough to cause, of itself, any damage to tires. “I know some motorists,” said Mr. Loubeck "who firmly believe that blow-outs are frequently caused by in- crease in the inflation pressure due to the expansion of: air in the tire when heated. Because:‘heat expands,’ they think a rise in temperature causes a proportionate, aud therefore danger- ous, rise in the inflation pressure. That is why you will frequently find motorists who lower the inflation ‘pres- sure in hot weather so that even when the car is standing there is a notice- able bending of the side walls of the tires, “Now as a matter of fact,” contin- ued Mr. Loubeck, “a tire which had been filled with air at 75~degrees Fahrenheit to a pressure of 80 pounds, then run rapidly over blistering hot roads until the casing and ‘thé air within were raised to 150 degrees, would show an increase in pressure of only 11 pounds, not enough to injure any well-made tire. Under actual con- ditions such as high temperature would seldom be encountered, and the Probable increase in pressure would not be more than 5 or 6 pounds, which is scarcely more than the variation in readings of different pressure guages. Avoid Flattening Tire. © “Under such conditions, instead of the ‘air in the underinflated.tire ex- panding’ and filling the tire to the proper inflation. pressure when ‘heated by driving, the side walls are deflated considerably more, owing to the strain of going over inequalities in the road. This flattening of the tire causes a “rollingbending” motion which is continuous as long as the wheel moves. “And in addition this waving or bending of ‘the deflated tire induces crack regi-/a'separate motion between the layers It has the is composed: of calavry, infantry and|end.

It fs this action which causes tread separation of a tire that thas been run with insufficient inflaton. This tearing or tendency to rip apart the various layérs causes friction, which together with the friction caused by the rolling-bending motion as the tire revolves, creates excessive heat which separates the layers further and causes rapid deterioration, As a Fe- sult any unusual shock, such as a se- vere bump of the sudden application of the brakes, strains the weakened carcas beyond the limits and a blow- out occurs. “Then,” concluded Mr. ‘Loubeck, “when the motorist gets out and finds the casing excessively hot, he blames it on the hot weather, instead of real- izing that the heat was created’ by friction between the layers of the car- cas and that underinflation, not over- inflation, caused the fricion.” INDIVIDUAL LIGHT PLANT FOR EVERY: HOME IS POSSIBLE Delco Light Produet Dealer Ex- plains the:Wonderful Strides Made by Electricity There was a time when light in a house was supplied by a flaring torch supported. by a bracket on the wall; when each man carried his own street light with him; when messages were carried by men of horse or afoot; when the quickest and most luxur- fous form of travel was the stage coach, and when nearly all work was done iby hand. But now a new servant has made its appearance and B. K. Skeels, lo- cal dealer of the Delco Wight Pro- ducts tells about: it. The name of this new servant is “electricity.” \ It lights our houses with a bright, clean and safe light. our streets are lined with lamp posts which make them as safe at night as in the davtime. If we want to talk to someone a hundred miles away we use the teléphone or the telegraph. Street cars, interurbans, even rail- road trains, pulled ‘by electricity, carry us farther in an hour than the stage could have done in a day, And work,—there 18 scarcely a task which cannot be done by electricity, not only in the business and manufactur- ing world, but in the city and country home as well. A few years ago electricity was the servant of the few who lived in cities. This was ‘because electric generating machinery was not in its present im- proved state, and ‘because’ it was, and still is for that. matter, very expensive to transmit electric current over long distances. In other words, people who live close together in the com- paratively small area of the city can all be supplied with current from oné central station at a reasonable cost, whereas it is enormously expensive to extend transmission lines five or ten FRIDAY, AUGUST 29.1919... miles into the country in’ order to serve perhaps fifteen or twenty cus- tomers in an area as large as that covered- by: the city... And. yet. the services of electricity are needed as much, if not more, on the farm, in the . country home, church, schoolhouse and .store, as in the city. It fs this need, and the practical difficulties in the way of supplying it, which turned man’s inventive genius toward. a soluton of the problem. ‘And the solution, as in the case of most great problems, was in itself rather simple—not the building of new’ and complicated machinery to drive current further. at a lower cost, ‘but ‘the application of the known prin- ciples of generating and handling electric current to the development of small generating plants of a size suit- able for supplying electricity on the farm and in the church or store, and at a cost easily within the-reach of every progressive farmer. Years, of experimental work by some of our best engineers have produced plants of this type which are thoroughly. de- pendable. i wee aec8 ‘Now, the result of this is that: elec- tricity is7at Iast the’ really oniversat servant. In the country home, church, school, community. house, store, club 2nd camp, as well as in the city, elec- tric lamps pour out their flood of pure light from handsome modern fixtures. The day of the coal-oil lamp is over. Not only the farm house itself, but évery part of all the other buildings on the place is lighted safely and con- veniently. And light is only part of the service that electricity is ready to render: In the home, the vacuum sweeper, the electric iron, toaster, coffee percola- tor, fan and washing machine are at the service of the housewife. An automatic clectriq pump furnishes hot and cold running water to all parts of the house at all times. In the dairy the milking machine.-the. cream, sepa- rator and the churn are electrically driven. The fanning mill, the corn grinder, the grindstone and many other pieces of Hgnt farm machinery are turned by small motors. « The ‘comfort, ‘the’ convenience of electric service will have the same effect’'in the country: home as they have ‘had in the city. This service will give people more leisure, more opportunity to read, to keep in toack with. all that ‘is going on in the workd about them. It will make their living. casier and better. And ff it can do these things for all of us. % will ine deed have proved itself the best of servants. —Buying: a motor truck, the first time, is much like getting married— the first time.
