( verhrating causes a knock by firing the pas before the piston reaches upper dead center on the compression stroke. The exploding gas expanding meets the piston go.ng up and makes a knock. Overheating may be noted by steam at radiator.

Carbon knock is caused by red hot carbon in cylinder head setting fire to the mixture when the gas has boon corn pre.s-d to a certain point. Iemo a spark plug and look Jn cylinders for presence of carbon.

The extension will run to Taotpwchen. a distance of 100 miles farther west to the Yellow River, according to advices received by the United States Department of Cora- :: ;-c. Tho Mtrvoy of this line, has

SPECIAL-SIX TOURING

'ACTINGS resulting from capacity manufacture

are now offered to the buyer of the Studebaker

Special-Six. The new price of $1275 is $200 under its former price.

Studebaker reductions became effective August 1st after Studebaker had completed the biggest seven months. in its 70 years' history. And at a time when Studebaker had 15,000 unfilled orders cn hand! It is a Studebaker policy of long standing to share manufacturing savings with the customer. The performance, durability, comfort and quality

of the Special-Six are recognized everywhere. And here's new proof of its endurance: Studebaker's sales of repair parts, covering accidents as well 23 service, for the first seven months of 1922 were less than they were for the first seven months of 1919,in spite of the fact that 186,000 new cars were sold and put into operation since January 1, 1920. The Special-Six at $1275 represents a new standard of value the greatest value Studebaker has ever offeree and that means a value that is positively unapproached anywhere in the industry.
