The women were ordered to the lower deck and the men made way for thein, assisting them and the children to points of vantage. Then the crew began filling the life boats. It was not until la of the rafts bad been filled with women and chil dren that men were permitted to enter the boats.

The Studebaker SIX runs farther on a gallon of pas oline than other "Sixes." It runs several hundred miles farther on a quart of oil. It is the one economical "Six" because it is light weigh ing less than 3000 pounds . and perfectly balanced. And these qualities, in turn, go back to Studebaker spe cial steels and Studebaker intensive manufactur ing methods. To the employment of costly machinery and costly male rials that no car built in lesser volumeeven if sold as the highest price can afford. These methods put value into the Studebaker SIX be yond the value of any other car at any price. They make it tlie first and the only reallv ei-uiiomical "Six."
