Expensive Improvement Evidence
That Company Seeks to
Build Best,
From Detroit comes the _nnounce
ment that Studebaker automobilcs
have just adde inother important
improvement. This is the new Wil
lard storage battery, with a new rub
ber composition separator upon which
Willard scientists have been experi
mx‘ming for the last two years. Stude
baker is the only automobile manu
facturer up to the present time who
has adopted this newer, more satis
factory and more expensive battery.,
The Importance of the announce
ment lies not only in the unequaled
battery service that Studebaker cars
&re now equipped to give, but also in
the continued evidence of the inten
tion of Studebaker designers and
manufacturers to build the best pos
-Biblé car that can be made at any
price. Studebaker employs men, ma
terials and methods without regard to
oßt if the product can he bettered
The storage battery separator prac
tleally in universal use pefore the per
tTecting of this rubber composition
separator was made of wood. It had
80 be cut extremely thin, s 0 as to be
rous. In order to work effectively
rtohad to be porous, but the thinness
Of the wood caused it to deteriorate
quickly.
Design Like Lace.
Where rubber separators have been
used it was necessary to cut holeg for
the solution to pass through, A sepa
fator 6 by 6 inches contained about
1,000 of these holes, whereas a sepa
rator of the new rubber composition
Of the same size containe about 4,000
holes. In the old form of rubber sep-
Arator it was necessary to have the
Boles of such size that very often the
plates would make a contact through
the holes and become short-circuited
or dead.
The new separator might be com
g.red to a plece of lace. Instead of
aving holes cut into it, it is honey -
combed with holes, and, therefore, al
lows the molsture to seep through
evenly, so that the battery gives max
imum service at all times. The sepa
rator ig ridged with rubber strips,
which protect it against wear by the
#brasion caused by the vibration of
tha battery on the car.
It is of the belief of those most in
terested that with like care the new
battery will outlive the old form of
battery many times. Those who have
been annoved by battery trouble due
to worn-out Insulators can best ap-
Ppreciate the saving in time, money |
and temper that the new geparator oc- |
casione, |
Time Is Important.
The value of a” motorist's time is
something that ig too often overlook
ed. It is true that many men like to
work over their cars, but battery im-

Sales Manager Added tto Board
of Directors of the Big
Corporation,
At a meeting Vurf_rhv directors of the
Studebaker Corporation L. J. Ollier
was elected to membership on the
board, succeeding John R. Turner, of
‘New York. Mr. Ollier is sales man
ager for the corporation, and his se
lection for this important post is to
be regarded as an appreciation of his
service.
Construction of the new Studebaker
Building in Brooklyn, N, Y., is pro
lgressing in a manner that indicates
completion at the time called for by
[rhe contract. This is to take rank
with the best appointed automobile
quarters in the East. With the new
service station,on Long Island City;
the remodeled five-story Manhattan
borough building for solely sales pur
poses, and this new Brooklyn “Home
of the Studebaker,” the requirements
of New York will séem to have heen
adequately taken care of, for a few
yvears at least.
Harry Kennady, managing director
lof the Studebaker Corporation of
Australia, Ltd, who has been at the
h)etrnit factories arranging to supp'y
lthe demand for Studebaker cars in
Australia and New Zealand, states
that the influence of American cus
toms, sports and other forms of
amusement is being strongly felt in
bthut faraway land, and is taking a
hold even among the most conserva
tive English element. The popularity
of motor cars, he says, both for busi
ness and pleasure purposes, has been
firmly established, the American-built
cars being favored over those of the
mother country fer several reasons, of
which are conomical operation and
Isturdlness.
Playgrounds Reduce
.
Street Accidents
The use of playgrounds as an in
centive to keep children off the street
and thereby reduce the chance for ac
cidents has been proven a practical
success by the Hupp Motor Car Com
pany, of Detroit. Since the opening
of the recreation playgrounds in the
rear of the factory for the benefit of
the children of the neighborhood, it
is estimated that the number of acei
dents has decreased from 60 to 75 per
cent. Officials of the Hupp Company
place the decrease as 60 per cent, but
traffic officials In that section of the
city make a more liberal estimate
of 75 per cent.

' SHEEPSHEAD BAY SPEEDWAY,
EN. Y. Sept. 18.—Dario Resta, the fa

afternoon. .He covered the distance In
