(Central Press Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.—Uncle Sam sincerely hopes there never will be a war in the Pacific, but just the same he {s preparing for one. The long delayed project of strengthening Pacific coast defenses by placing a number of the modern long range rifles at selected posi- tions is approaching execution. Fourteen and sixteen-Inch coast artillery rifles, mounted on railway carriages, are being prepared for a trip across the continent and at an early date will start eastward Very Latest in Ordnance The movement of th the rafls of the country’s transcon- tinental lines will be a test of our transportation stem as the small est of them, with it ge, will weigh 340 tons.

And from this movement the war department will learn what to ex- pect if it should attempt to send monster death-pleces from the At- lantic to the Pacific tn time of war. Scouts are now at work going over the routes.

FEDERAL AID HIGHWAYS In view of the question raised in some quarters as to the wisdom of the Federal Ald Policy of the Goy- ernment, here are a few figures that will enable the situation to be view- ed from a new angle. Since 1918 motorists as a class have paid the Federal Government in the form of excise taxes on auto- mobiles and parts the sum total of $779,385,339. Since the beginning of the Federal Aid the Government has actually expended $276,305,407 as its share for the Construction of/ Fed- eral Ald highway projects, accord- ing to figures compiled by the Amer- ican Automobile Association. This means that the Government has expended less than 36 per cent of the amount of motor vehicle rey- enue pald by the motorists as into the coffers of the Treasu partment. At this rate the Govern- ment still owes the motorists some 932, With this balance shee there can be little doubt that they will Ine up 17,000,000/strong for con tinuation of the Fed Ald policy.

VAN SANT j baker FART OF TRUCK FLEET | STUDEBAKERS NOW SELL AT LOWER PRICE SOUTH BEND, Indiana, August 8.—Studebaker has announced re- duced prices on all models. Reduc- tlons range from $50 to $405. The new prices includes all tegular equips ment on Standard Six, Special Six and Big Six models, except. that bumpers, extra tire, caver and moto- meter are no longer furnished on Big Sixes. Commenting upon the price reduc- tion, an official of The Studebaker Corporation of America said: “Stude- baker’s one-profit manufacturing system 1s the direct reason for this reduction in prices. . Under this sys= tem we manufacture all vital parts for Studebdker cars in’ our own plants. This saves the extra prof- its whigh many manufacturers have to pay’ to. outside parts and body makers. ‘We give purchasers the full benefit of these savings !n-man- ufacture. “Only two automobiles in America are made on this one-profit basis— the Studebaker in the fine car ffeld and the Ford in the low-price fleld. Only. in these two cases does one company in its own plants and with {ts own centralized organization make all bodies, all: engines, all clutches, steering gears, differentials, springse gear sets, gray-iron cast- ings and drop forgings. “With only one manufacturing profit instead of many included in the purchase price, Studebaker is able to build a better car and to offer {t at ‘a much lower price. The public appreciates this fact. Stude- baker sales are today rising to a new high peak instead of declining s usual during the summer. “The cars on which these new prices are announced aro the ident! cal cars which have given Stude- tremendo sales volume. There ik no sacrifice in quality of materials workmanship. We have brought out no yearly models to sell It Is a Stude- or t new prices. “The new prices are a striking tribute to Studebaker's one-profit produ, system. Savings made possible by this system enabled us to. announce new low prices on Jan- uary § of this year. Now we are able to make further reductions. As a result Studebaker one-profit cars today offer greater values than ever before.

Hl FORD SCORES NEW RECORD IN LAST 30 DAYS During the month just ended the Ford Motor company did a record July business in every division, it was today announced at the High- land Park general offices. Domestic sales of Ford cars and trucks to- talled 167,626 in July exceeding by 6,182 those ef a year ago, sale of Fordson Tractors were more than 3300 greater than last year and 207 more Lincoln cars were delivered to customers during the month than in the previous July. On the basis of branch reports received early in July the company anticipated an increased volume of business and while it predicted that summer buying would rise to a high- er level than usual, the demand for all Ford products during the month exceeded expectations. The outlook is for increasing bus- iness in August, One of the chief indications of this appears in agricultural sections of the country; where farmers are com- ing into the market in rapidly grow- ing numbers, Evidence of this is found in the remarkable sales of Fordson tractors during July. eee cee CHAMPION SPARK PLUGS FIGURE IN NEW AACE TRIUMPHS OF COUNTRY Champion spark plugs continue to play a leading part in the various great speed events both in America and Europe.
