TTTE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. PEDALMOBILE RACES ATTRACT YOUNGSTERS [ Hugh Goldsmith in his Pedalmobile. Police Instructed to Arrest All Motorists Who Violate City's Muffler Ordinance. Declaring that the auto muffler cut out ordinance is one of the most wantonly and flagrantly violated of the city statutes. Police Chief Beavers Wednesday said he intended to use every means at his command to enforce It. The Chief has Issued a special or- d*r to the entire police force Instruct ing a rigid enforcement of the muffler law. Caaes are to he made against •very offender, no matter who he may be. The Chief is determined to bring relief from the nuisance, and ■aid he is satisfied a few cases and ■tifr fines in Police Court will bring wonderful Improvement. In dincusslng the nuisance, the Chief took occasion to commend the editorial in The Georgian a few days ago relative to the necessity for a strict enforcement of this law for the protection of citizens. "This muffler cut-out ordinance Is a law. and it must he enforced as long as it remains on the statute books.” said the Chief. “In my opin ion it is a good law. for the noise made by the cutting out of mufflers, particularly at night. Is an abomina tion. and for the reason that it is absolutely unnecessary to the run ning of a car. The cutting out of the muffler has no perceptible effect on the car—but It does have a percepti ble effect on people who are trying to get a good night's sleep. “The noise from the cars Is not so bad In the day time, as the rumble of other vehicles and trolley cars ■erves to drown it out to a materia! j extent. But at night, after the city has Quieted down, the muffler cut-out la certainly a nerve-racking nuisance It Is worse in the summer, because of the great number of autos in th” ■treets and the fact that people sleep with their windows open, thus receiv ing the full benefit of the distracting din as the speeding cars whiz past." Considerable complaint of late has been made by citizens of different parts of the city, and these will re ceive with Joy the news of the war fare etarted by Chief Beavers. b spumes seen TO URGE VOTES HOI DIRECT F Cigarettes Blamed Former Bailiff Fails For Lack of Humor In Suicide Attempt Troops Called to Prevent Gambling PORTFR, IND., Aug. 27.—Two companies of State troop* were held In readiness to-day to Invade tho Mineral Springs race track, where a meeting Is being held, Bhould there be further gambling there at this afternoon's races.

Efficiency at all speeds and the absence of vibration, which are the unique advantages of a worthy Six, can only be attained by the most scientific engineering. To attain perfect results we use experi mental laboratories of large size and full equipment, where every idea built into the Studebaker “SIX” has been proved correct beyond the possibility of error. We work by knowledge, not by theory. Every ton of steel we buy is first made according to Studebaker formulas and later rigorously tested to be sure it is up to standard. Throughout the manufacture, which is carried on entirely in our plants, from forty huge power hammers which forge out over 250 parts for every Studebaker “SIX”, to the last operation, accurate to the one- thousandth of an inch, the “SIX” is built with a scrupulous regard for fine work and the best materials. Studebaker Standards of Luxury From the beautifully balanced chassis to the deep upholstery and complete equip ment, the “SIX” shows careful attention to appearance and comfort. It is, of course, electrically lighted and started. 1 The auxiliary seats, making ample room for 6ix-passengers, are exceedingly comfortable and yet may readily be folded to one side. The painting is lustrous, requiring twenty- four operations, including many days of drying and aging, before it is finished. We use Studebaker-Jiffy storm curtains, the most ingenious improvement ever made in automobile curtains. The Studebaker “SIX” is a car of complete comfort and strikingly handsome appearance.
