f ield.4 since previous prices were
considered at rock bottom levels
for these two popular makes. 1 1 ;
- The Star standard se'dan and
coupe' are equipped with foul
wheel brakes, and balloon . tires
these two factors alone mean that
the low cost car buyer obtains
these features , which are found
only as standard equipment j in
the higher priced cars. These two
Star models have also all of the
other, well known mechanical fea
tures identified only to the Stai
cars, such as the "million dollar
motor," and today gives the Star
ar buyer values at a new price
mark that is bound to be one of
the outstanding announcements in
the automobile field for some
time. -'-'' '.'.; .-V'' '1
During the past several months
the production on the Star sedan
and coupe has 'been stepped-up to
figures larger than ever anticipat
ed by the Durant factory officials.
Realizing that the popularity of
these two models was a genuine
reflection of the choice of the
buying public for the sedan and
coupe, the Durant officials in-

. -Built in 1926
-' NEW YORK. Oct. "2 4. One of
the few real surprises of the year
was sprung by Durant Motor, Inc.,
today when it announced a new
- line of Star Bix-cylinder models, of
which 75.000 are: expected to be
built during 1925.
- The Six is now. in production
and will .shortly be in the show
rooms of Star dealers throughout
the country.
So quietly has the' durant or
ganization been going about the
preparation -of this- new car that
'not even the industry, in which
.there are few real secrets, had the
slightest inkling of this new de-

velopment on the part of the com
pany. V y -.- y-- '
The Star Six. Durant officials
claim, is more than just1 another
car to fill out a line. If is the
result of careful ' planning - and
building to produce an unusual -cylinder
car 5 in ' the less-than-$liO0O-pr!ce
class. ; ?
The motor of the newlstar ,fdx
is of the "W head type, bore 2 ,
stroke. 4 34, and develons 40 brake
horsepower. It has full forced
feed lubrication and silent chain
front drive.
The chassis has six cross-mem
bers, giving it exceptional strength
while the kick-up frame permits
a low center of gravity,and low
hung body. ? - ' I
.AH bodies are by Hayes-Huht
corporation and are lacquer finish
in black and sagebrush green.
Radiator shell is nickeled and
fenders are black enameled.
The wheel base is 107 inches
Tires 4.95 balloon standard and'
wheels are artillery type, natural
wood finish, with extra , heavy
spokes.
The windshield is of the one-
piece full, ventilating type and in

and two visor overhead ventila
tors. Standard equipment includ
es automatic windshield wiper, as
well as rear view mirror and cowl
lights. ;
For the . present .the Star six
line includes a coach, a coupster
and a coupe. - ,- y '.,
It is quite likely thatrthe Star
six will be produced at the four
Star plants: Elizabeth, N. J.;
Lansing. Mich.; Toronto. Ont: and
Oakland, Cal., thus affording eco
nomical and rapid distribution to
all parts of the country.
Soecial Schools for Non
Christians in Philippines
MANILA. That a special sys
tem of instruction is, desirable for
the Non-Christian people of the
Philippines, especially for the Mo
ros who inhabits Mindanao and
Sulu and who are' Mohammedans,
is the conclusion Of a board of
American experts, headed by Dr.
Paul Monroe of Columbia unlver-
city, which spent four months in
making -a survey of the educa
tional system of the islands.
The board suggested that a spe
cial department of the bureau of
education be created to take
charge and make a close study of
school work among these peoples.
The board's report Uaysry
"The Non-Christian, peoples
need a system of education that in
many essential .. respects should
differ from that developed for the
great mass of the Filipino people
Only by such 'special treatment
can .the Nvn-Christian peoples, be
brought up to theeultiirai ' and
economic level of th Christian
population. To give them the
same education as that of the
Christian peoples results simply
in drawing off a few of the ablest
of the youth into the general
population."
