Four Dodge Brothers cars are af fected by the reduction—the spe cial Touring Car. special Roadster, special "A" Sedan, and special 4- Fassenger Coupe. The “B” Sedan and the Business Coupe have also been added to the line of special types.

Records wero broken a ttho initial public showing of tho 15 new Ktudebaker models on Saturday und Sunday, September 13 nnd 14 ,not only in the number of attendance but In the enthusiastic und practically unuirnous approval expressed, men long In the automobile Indus try declare. From actual count of the crowds who visited over 3,000 Studebnker show-rooms through out America, where new cars were <>n display, it has been established that a total of over 2,0110,000 peo ple went to see what Studebakcr liad done during the first 3G hours. From every Studebakcr dealer cuino reports that tho rush of keeping up with business, since then, lins made It Impossible to prepare nnd send In a statement of tho opening-day attendance onrller. • 20 to 30 Cart Approved Hourly. During the rush of the first SO hours many Htudibaker dealers, particularly In larger cities, were completely unable to keep pace with the orders for new cars. Show-rooms were kept open until midnight, In many Instances, nnd even than people had to be asked to leave. In nearly every large city old cars were appraised at the rate of from 20 to 30 an hour, on pro posed trnde-ln sales. And It . Is generally reported that salesmen could not begin to serve all who desired to place orders. Automobile authorities state no thing that since the advent of the self-starter hns so sensationally aroused tho Interest of Araoetcnn car-owners ns the new-type Ktude baker body—the Duplex Phaeton.

General Auto and Truck Repairing Whit* Truck Servic* Station and Part* Phono 1637, 575 Broad St. THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. about these beautiful, radically new models. Duplex Body a Sensation. An upper structure, framed and shaped in steel, Is Integral with the lower body.—a fundamentally new principle. It was explained that this construction makes possible a beauty of top-lines harmonious with the lower lines, and obviously permanent. By use of substantial curtains, operated on concealed spring rol lers a powerful, alert, open car Is converted In less than 30 seconds Into an entirely enclosed car offer ing comfort and protection from wind, rain or snow. These cur tains are fitted with a special, extra-wide window, and so provide an entirely unlquo combination of open car advantages with 4-door closed-car protection. Unexpected Beauty Creates Furore. A very flood of telegrams and letters has poured In to the main Btudebaker office, bene. The commandingjy beautiful linos that distinguish each of the new cars do not follow any thing that other American or foreign makers have attempted. It Is said, They have excited comment alto gether unique in automobile his tory, It Is positively stated upon authority. Details Closely Observed. "And people have taken the keenest interest In each detail of this appearance: the now, extra deep-crowned fenders built for bal loon tires, tho big, dark tires them selves, the natural wood wheels, tho brilliant, nickeled radiators," tho same official Is quoted. "The satiny, new lacquer finish which is used on six of the new models has come In for a great share of tbit praise, as have the unusually at tractive color scheme out - designers have worked out. "The same is true of the genuine Spanish leather upholstery of Du plex models or tho fine, soft mohair of closed bodies. The now winged raldator caps, the headlights nnd cowl-lights--each pf entirely n«w nnd unusual deslgrlS each piece t>f hardware -which speaks Its own high quality, tho utter complete ness of equipment with those new models: 1 personally believe that theso smaller details have done ns much ns any ono of tho larger bet- I torments to convince the American public, In shorter time than over ! before accomplished, that Ftude bnker has produced new cars of value such ns Is without precedent In automobile history." SNAKES SUFFER NEW YORK. —Snakes and sish — not polar bears —suffer most from the heat. They are the ones who most feel a rise of tho mercury, be cause even though they have been called "cold-blooded" for genera tions, the heat of their bodies rises and falls with tho temperature changes. A snake will get warmer nnd warmer and finally die If ex posed to a very hot sun. according to Raymond Dlttnars. curator of tho New York Zoological Gardens.
