RELEASE 17 PRISONERS FROM COUNTY JAIL Institution Overcrowded Majority of Cases Come From Resort V As an Easter present from the county authorities, 17 prisoners were given their release from the Mays Landing jail. Most of tiiem had served a greater part of their sentences, and as the jail was be coming overcrowded it was decided lo do this in order to make room for the cases sure to arrive follow ing the Easter holidays. The spirit of Easter, however, seemed not to have had any effect In the small Cause courts of the county as 26 additional commit ments were received Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It is stated that there are more long term prisoners in Mays Landing now than at any previous time. Atlan tic City seems to supply most of the cases: The heavy sentences imposed in the resort Police Courts for what seems to be minor cffences cannot be explained by the county authorities. Many have received as high as 350 days on charges of disorderly conduct. ; Sheriff James Clmino, who feels that the county is being put to a greater expense than the circum stances justify, js wondering where he will put his additional quests if they continue to arrive In such large numbers. --... - Humble Wage Earners Too Often Forgotten Our rich men are becoming more generous. The total donated to “foundations,'’ etc.—mostly of busi ness men—Is computed at $3,500, 000,000. Modern generosity takes many forms. It Is particularly grat ifying to note a growing tendency to do kindly things for workers. Many wills of employers now make liberal bequests to employees, es pecially those of long service. Liv ing employers, also, are devoting more of their means than formerly for the benefit of those who have helped them to make their for tunes, Forbes Magazine tells us. One cannot but note, however, that very rarely Is anything done for those who toll In factories, foun dries, mines and suchlike places. Far more Is done for collar-and culf workers than for those who expend body and brawn. Pferhaps one reason for this Is that those paid by the hour or by the piece or by the day, usually Insist upon extra pay for extra work, whereas office workers and the like make no such demands. Even so, It is extremely desirable that generosity be extended to all classes of wage earners. ' The Pleasantville Press Is a GOOD « Newspaper ?-'•— ——-— Easy to prove to your self.

In official tests under the sanction and observa* tion of the American Automobile Association this , stock Studebaker, identical with the car you can buy in any Studebaker sales room, not only established the amazing new record of 5,000 miles in 4909 minutes total elapsed time, but also set four other records. i 2500 miles in 40 hours, 12 minutes, 54 seconds total >, elapsed time.

The exact duplicate of this record'shattering car is waiting for you at Stude baker showrooms. < v ■ i •’ i QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS On This Great Victory Over Time and Distance When and where did the test start? April 1st, 1927 at 5:15 P. M. at the Culver City, California mile-and-a-quarter track. When were 5,000 measured miles completed? April 5th, 1927, at 3:03 A. M.—4909 minutes after the test started. Since this total elapsed time included time for stopping for fuel, relief of drivers, etc., it is obvious that the car attained a speed far greater than a mile a minute. Who drove The Commander? \ Harry Hartz, champion American race driver started, finished and was driving at the time each record was established. He was relieved by Eddie Heame, also one of America’s great speed kings, Louis Wilson, another race driver, and Ab Jenkins, Salt Lake City contractor who smashed all previous transcontinental records last June - when he drove a Studebaker Sheriff from New York to San Francisco in 86 hours, 20 minutes. Under what auspices were these amazing records of The Commander made? The American Automobile Association, which had official observers on the spot throughout. Was it a strictly stock car? * . Before and immediately following the test, repre sentatives of the American Automobile Associa tion checked The Commander thoroughly and made affidavit that it was strictly a stock car in every respect. Studebaker factories are working to capacity building this identical model. Was the car stripped? No, it carried full equipment, including a spare tire. Practically all the records which were smashed by The Commander had been made by open racing models stripped to the limit. What condition was the car in at the end of the 5,000 miles? To demonstrate its condition, Hartz put it around the track several times at the rate of 70 miles per hour, immediately after the five thou sandth mile had been run. Its condition seemed to indicate that it might have continued indef initely. What is 5,000 miles? ' ♦ It is substantially the distance from New York to Constantinople; the distance from Nome, Alaska to Mexico City; the distance from Lon don to Bombay, India; the distance from Cali . fomia to Japan; the distance from the Panama Canal to Bordeaux, France. How far ia it from New York to Chicago? 960 miles by the New York Central Railroad. How faat does the 20th Century Ltd. trave. * Its average speed is 48 miles per hour between New York and Chicago. * How many engines are used in drawing the Century from New York to Chicago? Four engines, each one costing $61,500, are needed for the task. Despite the fact that these engines have fewer moving parts than a Stude baker car and are driven on steel rails by expert engineers, they are run less than 500 miles on any f trip, then go in the roundhouie for service. How do Commander prices compare with other cars of similar power? No other car of equal or greater rated horse* power sells for less than double the price of The Commander. To match The Commander in power you must pay from $4,000 to $10,000. Why are Commandor prices so low? Volume production on a One-Profit basis gives you a truly great automobile—enormous power and luxurious comfort at a moderate price. That is why the Studebaker Big Six outsells the com bined totals of all other cars in the world of * equal or greater rated horsepower. -—" —* ' . ■ ■ » <vV Commander Models and their One-Pro/it Prices: Sedan, $1585; Victoria, $1575 (with'’ < broadcloth upholstery, $1645); Coupe, $1545 (with rumble seat, $1645).
