Motor Department: My car la quipped with demountable rJma. Pome people claim that the car FhoTild be Jacked up before removing rim and others that wheel should be left on the ground. Please tell me what Is best to do when changing rim? T. N. Yen evidently refer to loosening the bolt., as it would be Impossible to change rim with the wheel on the gTound. It Is bc.t to looeen the bolt. before J-acking up the wheel, a the weight of the car twists the nm slightly and so frees It from any nxst which may tend to hold It to the wheel. The wheel must then ba jacked up in order to remove the. rim. Put a little graphite grease on place, where wheel rim and demountable rim touch each other.

Motor Department: I am having the rlma on my wheels change! from the old style clincher to quick detachable. Would it be advisable to have the front wheels built up to the Fame elfre as the rear one5? I notice the present cats have both front and rear wheels the same. E. N. By all mean have them the same, a you need only carry one extra

A quick test for quick adjustment may be made by pressing down on the air valve while" the engine la running throttled down.

Don't Rattle or Sqnea

The Special-Six chasi frame is 7 "deep. It taper irom a width of 29' in the front to 41 in the rear, fro that the sides of tha body fit perfectly without overhang. Five crossmembers prevent the distortion that eventually causes bodies to squeak

Studebaker bodies rest squarely on the chassis frame not on the body sills. The body and the frame form a rigid unit that successfully resists the rack of the road. Studebaker bodies are built in Studebaker shops by men, many of whom have been building vehicle bodies for Studebaker for upwards of 30 years and their fathers before them. Studebaker has. been building fine bodies for seventy years. Studebaker Special-Six bodies, because of their quality and soundness, weigh more than those of other cars around the Special-Six price. You cannot skimp in material and build a body that will not rattle. Freedom from rattle or squeak is just another of the fine-car refinements that emphasize the extra value of the Studebaker Special-Six. MODELS AND PRICES-, o. b. factories
