were running short on cars. In com-
menting upon this cpndition, Mr. Ras-
maussen said that while no intima-
tion of such had come from the fac-
tory, he could see a further possibility
of an advance in prices, in consider-
ing the increasing prices of raw ma-
terials, and the increased demand for
raw materials for war purposes. He
also points to the fact that some of
the tire factories have already ad-
vanced the price of tires, in some in-
stances as much as 10 per, cent.

Many Processes Necessary to Manufac-
ture Part of Cam Shaft.
There isn’t any manufacturing plant
more interestin§ than a motor (ca-
factory. In fact, it is little short of
marveolus to watch the speed* with
which the various parts which go to-
ward making up a spick and span 1917
automobile are manufactured. While
in Detroit recently, a representative
of this paper visited the great Stude-
baker factories and inspected every
process of manufacture from the foun-
dry to the assembling department. One
of the most interesting manufactur-
ing operations was the processes nec-
essary to make a single part, the cam
shaft used in the new series 18 Stude-
baker cars. This part is a difficult one
to manufacture, yet many of the op-
erations in its making are the same as
those required tp manufacture the axle
shaft, transmission shaft, propeller and
many of the other 2,000 parts that go
to make the finished Studebaker.
The steel for the cam shaft comes
to the factory in bars. This bar is
cut off by gigantic shears into billets
about a foot long. The billet is heated
to a mailable state just as the black-
smith of old heated the piece of steel
to make a horseshoe, but the cam
shaft, instead of being hammered into
shape on an anvil, is placed on the
die of a great steam hammer.

FRENCH MAKE RAIDS.
Violent Cannonading Oceurs, on the
Front South of St. Quentin.
By Associated Press.
Paris, April 7.—Violent cannonading
went on during last night, on the
French front south of St. Quentin in
the region of Dallon and Gruigies, the
war office announced today. The ar-
tillery was very active also northeast
of Berry-au-Bac.
German reconnoitering forces caught
under the fire of the French guns,
were dispersed. South of Ville-au-Bois
a German attack was repulsed.
Grenade fighting east of Sapigneul
resulted advantageously to the French.
West of the Meuse German trenches
were successfully raided by French
troops.
The statement follows:
“East and west of the Somme there
was violent artillery fighting in the
region of Dallon and Gruigies with no
infantry fighting. We made further
progress north of Landricourt. In the

torious army as that which the Gr-

Demand for Ford Cars is at a High
Figure. ’
A. J. Rasmaussen, of John Christen-
sen & Co., local Ford dealers, stated
this morning that the consumption of
Ford cars was now greater than the
Car Is Being Widely Advertised
Through Newspapers.
One of the most interesting adver-
tising campaigns of many a season is
that, now being followed out by the
Chandler Motor Car company of Cleve-
land, . manufacturers . of the Chandler
Six. Sam Boyd of the Texas garage,
local Chandler distributer, says that he
never had any doubt of the value ’of
newspaper advertising, but that his
conviction as to the value of such ad-
vertising, if the advertiser has a real
story1 to tell, is greater now than ever
before.
“Chandler advertising this spring,”
said Mr. Boyd, “has been what the fac-
tory calls a fact campaign. Not that
Chandler advertising has not always
been based on facts, but that the ad-
vertising this year has emphasized-and
reiterated certain simple fundamental
facts about the Chandler car which
. very largely are exclusive Chandler
facts. The Chandler company, in per-
fectly plain English, is calling the at-
tention of the public to facts like these.

sixes in the medium-priced field offer
“Towns were totally destroyed,” the
ambassador reported, “for no apparent
military reason, and in many of the
smaller villages scarcely a house re-
mains with roof intact.”
From the town of Ham several hun-
dred people, nearly half of them girls
and women over 15 years of age', were
reported taken away as prisoners.
The statement given out at the de-
partment follows:
“In the larger towns of Roye, Ham
and Chauny, destruction was complete.
In many of the other smaller villages
scarcely a house remains with roof
intact. Throughout the reconquered
territory there reigns a scene of deso-
lation; and this is not only true where
German military operations might pos-
sibly excuse destruction, but towns
were totally destroyed with no appar-

Both Series 18 Studebaker FOUR and
Series 18 Studebaker SIX are noted for their
great power, and especially their great
power in ratio to their very low consump-
tion of gasoline.
It has taken Studebaker four years to
improve, refine and perfect the wonderful
Studebaker motor. It has been developed
through the experience of 250,000 cars in
the hands of owners. It is only through an
evolution like this, that perfection of powr
in ratio to fuel consumption can possibly be
developed.
There are no secret processes; no basic
patents'; no features of design that are
unknown or prohibited- by' patents. The
. Engineer can use what he wishes, but he
can only know how to use the best features 4
by continually improving, refining and per- *
fecting—through the experience of a motor
in actual service.
This is why Studebaker can truthfully
claim that the design of its motor is unsur-
passed in simplicity, accessibility and power.
By the refinement of reciprocating parts,
vibration has been. reduced to an almost
unobservable minimum.
The bearing areas of the motor have
been enlarged and increased, giving greater
durability, more strength, still further insur-
ing smooth, vibrationless operation.
But you cannot‘ appreciate the splendid
POWER of the Studebaker car until you

The die is the, shape of the cam
shaft—the hammer which strikes the
steel is guided to strike exactly the
same spot on the die each time. The
face of the hammer is also cut in the
shape of the cam shaft .This great
hammer is operated by steam, striking
it a smashing blow. In a few strokes
the billet of steel is elongated and
shaped roughly into its final form At
the same time the blows of the drop-
forge hammer press the grain of the
steel together and refine it. After this
operation the shaft is allowed to cool
in the air. It is then heated again
slowly to 17000 degrees Fahrenheit'in a
furnace, where, the heat is electrically
measured. This heat treatment read-
justs the grain of the steel after the
strains of the drop-forge hammer.
