Developments In the Mexican situa tion here have emphasised the deter mination of the Washington govern ment to refuse to recognise any of the acts of the new Mexican congreaa.

Seven-Passenger S1BT No Other "SIX" in the World Near This Price. The new Studebaker "SIX" stands absolutely alone and apart in the entire field of nix cylinder cars. At its price of 11676 less by hundreds than the price of any other "SIX" it brings you more tha the operative ad vantages of the "Six." It brings you these advantages emphasized and enhanced because this "SIX" is not only a manufactured "SIX," but a Studebaker-manufactured "SIX." Carries Seven in Comfort It brings you passenger capacity for seven. It brings you manifest advantages of electric starting and lighting through a two-unit system that has proved itself on thousands of Studebaker cars. You have never before been able to buy such a car at (1676 Today you can not find such another car, at this price, in the entire world. Six Thousand Manufacturing Operations How completely the Studebaker "SIX" is the product of the great Studebaker plants you will realize when you know that its construction requires more than (5,000 man ufacturing operations. We build its motor, from the raw iron and steel, down through the numerous processes of casting, machining, grinding and assembling to the finished product. We build its full-floating rear axle; stamp the light though tremendouslv strong housing from the sheet steel; we forgo cut and machine the axle and transmission gears. Throughout the rear axle and transmission, and in the front wheels we use 13 Timkon roller bearings for quiet, easy running. Economical of Fuel and Tires In fuel consumption we believe the "SIX" will match, if not surpass, the econ omv of any car of equal horsepower. Its motor izc is .1J x inches. It is economical because, in spite of ita 121 inch wheel base It is light, and easy on ita 34 x 4 Inch Urea; yet it is wonderfully strong. It it generously roomy and richly upholstered, and carries its seven passengers in utmost comfort. in design and line the "SIX" acknowledges no greater beauty or grace. Separate Electrical Units The starting and lighting system 'Is the Wagner two-unit, starting motor and generator separate. Lamps are are Gray & Davis' highest quality, parabolic tvpe. In short the "SIX lacks not him- in atyle, beauty or comfort Buy It because it is approved by mechanics and engineers. Not because of the outside, but because of the inside. Electrically Started. Electrically Lighted. five-Passenger S1150 This 'FOUR' the Final Word Among Four-Cylinder Cars This Studebaker "FOUR" has been developed from our experience in buildingl 10,000 "FOURS," Its price, $1 150, represents the outsido limit you should pay for a "Four;" because no "Four" can give you more, in actual value or performance, than this one does. So its price is right. Its capacity is right. Its power is right. It is the right type the last word among four-cylinder cars. A Powerful Long-Stroke Motor Nothing that we can say here will give you an adequato idea of the power possibilities of this car or the things of which it is capable. The motor presents the latest approved engineering prac ticecylinders east en bloc, valves enclosed, exhaust and intake manifolds integral. The Intake is very short and direct, placing the carburetor in a most advantageous position. In fuel both oil and gasoline, it will give long mileage. Thirteen Timken bearings reduce friction and wear to the minimum at everv point in the transmission and rear axle ami in' front wl erv point leel hubs.
