Now you can do it this winter without serious' inconvenience. The new Studebaker is easy to buy because of low first cost a one profit car and unit-built construction give you this unusual car at such a low figure. And it's easy to buy because of the convenient terms .that you can ar range a down payment and the bal ance distributed so that you can buy, it from your income, not with your capital.

USE CAUTION AT CROSSINGS, AUTO DRIVERS WAltNED That 4417 persons were killed nnd li.av.t persons Injured in au tomobile accidents at nil! road crossings during l!i2! and 'J4 Is shown in a report of ihe Interstate oominerco cnmmlimton. One railroad reported that '95 out of 1 ; 47 per cent, automo bile accidents at railroad crossings In six months resulted from au tomobiles trying to cross directly In front of an approaching train. Of the. remainder, .14 (27 per cent) resulted from aimjiiiohilcH running Into trains (not I ruins running in to automobiles). It was reportod by on(i Jorge rail road company ihat in otic year more than fitto crocsing gates low ered to prflieot the public were run Into and broken down ly automo biles. ... Another railroad company r' portd- on -actual observations of 3fS!) automobile drivers at railroad crossings: 2!M.7 ' (Rl ' pef cent)' looked neither way before crossing. CiCt (17 per cent) looked In only one way before crossing. . 0 (2 per cent) yuokod holh ways. Ttnllrrmtl lo Pnrt. Tho railroads are doing . their part to prevent accidents at rail road crossings. They have spent. and will continue to spend Im mense sums of money for track elevation, grade separation, watch men, crossing gates, nnd alarms. Alreadv the railroads have spent more than $ino,ooo,ooi) for track elevations In the state of Illinois nlono but with 177. inn crossings still In existence, nhd because tho average cost of eliminating cross ings Is at . least J5f),000 each. rnlU road cropslng accidents will con tinue to occur unless the public, too, does Its share townrd prevent ing them. ... It Is advisable never to cross a railroad track In high gear. Many accidents happen becauso cars be come stalled while on the track. It is safer to shift into Intermedi ate of low gear a- reasonable, dis tance before crossing a track. RECORD T II IDE BY AJAX PORTLAND Ore. (Special) What Is said to be record lime over the route was hung up recently by tu stock Ajax six touring car, when It covered the trail from Portland to Pond via The Dalles und Tygh I valley. In b hours 63 minutes. Jt returned in 5 hours tf minutes. actual running time, just two min utes slower than for the outbound trip. The query, "What will the Ajax do?" received ample reply, boosters declare. With four passengers, the Nash-built Ajax was hammered over the road, always in high gear at between rU and 60 miles an hour, a -terrific, strain on any ma chine, Pesplte the lMnrt breaking grades and the hair-raising curves; despite the constant battering at high speed; despite the fact that more than, half the road was of loose gravel; despite these severe factors tho Ajax came through with flying colors, and at the end of tho day was running ns sweetly as at the start. Two expert drivers shared the work of piloting tho machine over the road- Hoy McAyenl nnd Ony Jameson. McAyoal drove from Portland lo Dnfur: Jameson then took the wheel and drove to pond: thence back to Dufur; McAyenl then resumed the driving to Port land. One feature of the trip was the extreme cold: beyond The I)r.l les small ponds wore covered with ice, nnd Ihe drivers suffered ex tremely from exposure. Not once throughout the. trip did the Ajax falter, not one drop of water was added to the store in the radiator: not a. tire was changed. This although the round trip, some 475. miles, was made in but 13 hours 32 minutes elapsed time. ' TOO IjOW fc Charles "What do you think of this cHr?

"They wish to know If it Is pos. lMe to drive a Jewett cotch with the auxiliary sent folded down, also If II Is possible for passengers to enter or leave tho resr seat with both front seats occupied. "It Is certnlnlv gratifying to be able to say that the Jewett answers the, requirement. When the auxiliary seat is folded it does not interfere In any way with the genr shift rod. In most coach-typo cars you cannot shift gears with this seat down. A for easy entrance, the Jewett door is so wide thnt there s plenty of clearance for persons to step ln or out of rilher door white front sat passenger remain seated.

These characteristics, so uniquely Chrysler, are the re sult of the application, for the first time, of the proved scien tific engineering of its famous companion car, the Chrysler Six, to four-cylinder practice. Linked to this is a degree of manufacturing skill and accu racy found only in Chrysler products. Women who like fine things are captivated by the Chrysler Four beauty of line and color, ing, by its restful riding and handling the result of Chry. sler-designed spring suspension and pivotal steering, together with balloon tires. i They appreciate in particular the greater safety of Chrysler hydraulic four-wheel brakes, furnished on this new Four at slight extra cost for the first time . on any car of like price.
