KIMS 5000 MILES
IN 4800 MINUTES
"By traveling1 COOO miles In leas
than 4800 conwcutlvo minutes, the
btudebaker Dictator eHtabllshed
record for strictly stock automo-
blles of Us claati," says O. V. Moy
pra, local dealer. "The record Wiia
made under the supervision of the
American Automobile ajwoclatlon,
The new feat of two Btudebaker
cars began at the Atlantic City
B peed way on April 20. It ended
three days later when both cars
flashed across the 6000 mile finish
line, each having surpassed all endurance-
and speed records of stock
cars in their price lesas for that
distance.
"The first Dictator covered .the
COOO miles in Til hours and 11 min
utes, maintaining an average speed
of over 63 miles per hour for the
entire distance. The second Dicta
tor averaged over CI miles per
hour for the 6000 miles, making
tho run In SI hours and 32 min
utes. "It requires super-endurance
for a car to truvol 6000 miles, in
lewi than COOO minutes. Only re
cently a car costing much more
was forced to withdraw from a 24
hour race after it had covered loss
than 1400 miles. Almost any car
can run 60 miles an hour for a
short time, but when it comes to
maintaining that pace hour after
hour, and day after day, the car
must have been built of high qual
ity materials to the most exacting
precision standards and under
rigid inspections.
"Studebaker's purpose in having
the Dictator make this sensational
run was to prove the foregoing
characteristics of Btudebaker cars
and also the engineering genius
embodied In the car the genius
that gives this car 70 horsepower,
yet permits it to be thrifty of gas
and oil; the genius that permits
you to drive it 40 miles an hour
when It Is new 65 miles an hour
later; the genius that makes it un
necessary to change oil or to lubri
cate the chassis oftener than every
2500 miles."
ELEVEN-YEAR OLD
PILOTS AIRPLANE
In the whole realm of aviation,
there probably Is no one more in
sistent upon the fact that flying is
simplicity Itself than Clarence
Chuuiberlin, holder of the world's
long distance flight record, and
recognized by his fellow pilots as
one of the most adroit flyers In
the business. Furthermore, Cham
ber 11 n practices what he preaches.
An anecdote that he tells himself
Illustrates tho point most effec
tively. At one point on his nation-wide
flight In the Interest of establish
ing alr-mlndedness, Chamberlln
met a father who expressed the
wish to have his 11 -year old son
take a short flight with the trans-
Atluntic flyer. Before the take-off,
according to Chamberlln, the fath
er was given a short lesson In the
ABM's of aeronautics. During the
talk, the boy, standing by, regis
tered the boredom of an expert
with fundamentals of his specialty
Ho knew nil the facts that his
father was getting.
Finally, Chamberlln and the boy
took off. The ship was a dual con
trol affair and in givo the young'
ster a thrill, Chamberlln allowed
hliu to hold tho "stick." This fall
Ing, as a thrill producer, Chamber
lln says ha lifted both hands In the
air, the airman's signal to his co
pilot meaning, "you fly it." And.
the boy did. Of course, he did not
make the landing, but while tho
plane was In the air, the 11 -year
old boy managed to do some very
neat piloting.
Literally, Chamberlln says, fly.
Ing Is child's play. Judging by this
experience, he is willing to prove
it. If skill that knows no superior
enuues nim to be a Judge, then
mere la no doubting his judgment

NATIONAL CHA'GE
WEEK MAY 6-12
Mny 6 to 12 will be oliHorvod by
nil Western Auto Supply company
mores rs Nntlonnl l.'hnnBO week,
.according to Mr. Graham, local
manager of that company, who
buys:
"This event will bring double
ravings for automobile owners.
With every set of four or moro
Champion spark plugs sold dur
ing this event, an eight pleco elec
trician's tool kit will be glvon with
our compliments. This compuct
kit. composed of small wrenches,
keys, -contact -aligner, thickness
gauge etc., Is a necessary addition
tn tho tool kit and Is Imllspcnslblo
for repairing and adjusting Igni
tion systems.
"Regardless of the car and the
make of plugs used, a year's op
eration weakens tho spark which
results In loss of power, greater
gasoline consumption and crank
case dilution. A new set of spark
plugs will shoot tho motor full of
that good old spiingtlmo pep, give
added power on hills and save
money on gasoline and repair bills.
"Millions of motor car owners
now rccognl'.o the need of such a
chunge nnd aro enjoying greater
satisfaction thru installing new
Champion spark plugs onco u
year."
The Care of
the Oil Filter
"Do somo car owners a big favor
nnd they'll nek you to do u still
bigger one. At leusl, that's what 1
gather from watchln' tho way
H)mo of them treat ono of the goud
features built Into all cars within
tho last few years. Tho ilerlco I
mean Is the oil filter." says an
uxpert mechanic.
"It's a shamo the way some ear
owners Impose upon the filler.
'J'hey seem to think it Is good fur
the life of the car without the
slightest attention. This Idea, Is
cost In" them inuuh money.
"It need not If they realized
what tho filter was, what it was
Hupposcd to do, and what It did.
A filler Is simply a strainer. Its
Job Is to keep dirt and abrasives
from goln' Into the vital unlls of
tho cngino along with tho oil. It
does a flno Job of It for a while
liul, after nil. it's only a strainer
and subject to tho limitations of
Us kind. Any strainer will strain
only so much. After that It gets
clogged up and quits work. Of
course, the cngino gels oil in spile
of lllls, but It Is oil that goes thru
tho by-pass around tho filter,
which means that It is lakin' Willi
It all tho Impurities that should
be kept out.
"The makers of all fllterin' ile
lics warn the car owner to sec
tlint the screen or othor slnilnln'
part is cleaned at regulur periods
or replaced with u new one. This
iiuglit to bo dono once n yeur, at
least,
"Vet, observln' things from the
service nnglo, I'd say that not
more than half of my customers
ever havo mentioned the filler to
me when tulkln' of their repair
needs. The sooner they get ac
quainted with tho filter, the
qulckor It will begin doln' those
things It can do so well -with a
littto consideration." .
From now until election dny In
November there will be politics
a-plenty. 1'rimarles, conventions.
campaigns and olectlon will follow
each on the other's heels.
" 111 the business man do Ills
duly? Ho will. It answers, in Just
the way he has always done. He
will grow red-fuccd explaining
that: "What we need Is a business
mun at the head of things. If we
had a mayor, John, who would
run tho city with ona-half the
efficiency nnd Intelligence that you
givo to running your business, wo'd
have darn sight bettor streets and
tuxes wouldn't bo any higher,
either."
And then on election day he'll
drive over those samo streets, piny

they will give free spark plug In
spection service throughout tho
week to all motor car owners.
According to local dealers, the
difference between an old and now
set of spark plugs la the ilirfurence
between a weak spark and ono of
full strength, strength between
only a partial combustion of the
gs mixture, loss of power, engine
luggishni, greater oil consump
tion, slowfcr speed and actual loss
In fuel, u against a hot. Intense
spark of full strength, which
causes complete commotion and
consequent ; development of maxi
mum pnwei; from the? fuel used.
More thaoi 2000 tests conducted
by the Champion Spark 1'lug com
pany in the laboratory and on the
road, and supported by the recom

have established definitely that a
