What ) t r th

scrambling of the railroads, to -uy nothing of the government fij;ht being waged acainst the hiqh cost of! living, it would s-em that the peo-J He's reprenntativ s at Washington! would J:ud little time to enjoy many! of life's comforts. K it they do j i.io.t of them and motoring seems

to emj iir.t on th" Ji.-t. Auto Is Xeor-v-ity. Many prominent men In the affairs of the nation lind the motor car r.ot only a means of obtaining much needed relaxation from tho daily grind of law m iking, hut have come to look upon the automobile a an actual nv es.-ity. Many of the daily eon rVrences at Washington would be considerably delayed were it not for the speedy, a! way.s-i eady motor car and it is obvious that many more appointment ran be made and kept with the motor cars as the vehicle of transportation. , While automobiles of practically every popular make ai- to be seen

;.n Pennsylvania a v.. it is interesting I to note that many of the foremost! men at the nation's capital ride in! Studebakers. Tne quiet, dignified! lines of thene new ears, their speed, I own- and traditional dependability, ' have made th m national favorites.! Since their announcement, some- 1 S j months ago their popularity has; swept the country and been a fav-j orite topic of conversation where-j ever motor cars are discussed. ; Many Prominent Owners. I I W. Mondell, republican floor)

leader and representative from Wyoming, is one of the prominent owners of a Studebaker big-six. Hon. F. W. Martin, a gentleman who has seen administrations come ami go, and who is now chairman of a number of house committees, is also a devoted motoring fan and Studebakcr owner. Other well-known figures of national importance in the house of representatives who have recently purchased Studebaker cars include Rep. C. D. Carter of Oklahoma, who is chairman of the committee on Indian affairs, and Sen. Norris Shcpard, who halls from the Lone Star state. The army and navy, as represent

ed by officers stationed in Washingten and who have recently returned from overseas, have also found the new Stuuebaker cars capable of meeting their every requirement. And their experience with motor cars, during the treat war. makes their endorsement. ;w indicated by their ownership, a matter of considerable interest. Oua IJir Six May. Gen. C. A. Flagler. commandant at Camp Humphrejs. is an enthusiastic owner of a new big-six. His purchase wa noteworthy in view of the fact that he had usd tho highest-priced staff cars while on duty in France. He bought his Studebaker exactly 12 hours after arrival, in Washington. Capt. Nathaniel Irwin, the man who fostered the famous trar.s-atlantic flight of the NC boats, ana commander of the battleship Oklahoma, is tho owner of a light-six. Lieut Col. Charles McClure, head of the motor transport department of tho United States army and an authority on powerdriven vehicles, drives a big-six. Othor well-known officers, veterans of the world war, who own Studebaker cars include Rear Admiral A. J. Hap" burn and Cants. Schlabaek and Rertholf of the United States navy, ar. Col. Worthington and Capts. Griffith. Bennett and Chapman of the United States army.

Bethlehem Motors corporation of Allentown. Pa., and by all .associates of Mr. Murray in the organization, distributors and dealers. "What is more delightful." said Mr. Murray rci-ntly. "than to viewin the. moving pictures- an ideal Ktretch of highway extending out into the far beyond. Who that has witnessed sum a view in a moving picture but h revived within him cr born within him a desire to get out in his motor car and find the end of that raod? What truck man, whether maker, distributor or dealer, but has passed through his mind when viewing a picture, of an ideal hard road, the thought that with such roads everywhere, in truck lines ami feeders, motor trucks would never stop running. Moving1 pictures of good roads are the ideal propaganda, riht now. "So many people do not get out

into the country; so many with votes! i who must go to the polls and pass.

(in their ballot for or icalrst good'

; roads, do not know the delight of j traveling in a motor car throutrh the country over ideal roads; so many j buisness men do not realize the value j of perfect roads and rerfect roids

are hard roads and not gravel or macadam; that the moving picture does a wonderful amount of good to the cause. "Endorsement of the plan for placing moving pictures before tho people as a means to inciting good roads work must come from every quarter, and we of the Bethlehem Motor3 corporation unqualifiedly state that nothing could be devised to more surely arouse the public interest, not only In touring by motor car. not only in getting out into the country."
