SETTLE TIRE QUESTION
WHEN YOU SELECT CAR
FRANKLIN PEOPLE MAKE FEA-
TURE OF TIRE EQUIPMENT
Show That Time TO Take Care of Tire
Troubles and Tire Expense Is
When the Automobile Is
Selected

Compare these sizes with others and
you will find that Franklin tires are
larger even than used on many auto
mobiles that weigh 30 to 80 per cent
more.
With the Franklin you avoid tire
trouble and useless expense. The dan
ger of puncture by nails is much less;
the tires are large and thick; the au-
tomobile is light-the force that drives
nail through a tire is the weight
of the automobile.
Punctures by striking stones at con-
siderable speed are eliminated because
the automobile cannot drive the rim
down against the stone and break
the fabric or rupture the inner tube
The tire is not weakened by undue
strain. There is ample strength, You
have confidence; you know the tires
will do the work. They are not over
loaded. They last. You do not have
to carry extra tires.
Blow-outs ruin the ordinary tire
equipment. Proper equipment never
blows out. The tires wear out.
Crude rubber is steadily advancing
in price. The cost of tires is increas-
ing. You cannot afford to have your
tires break down or burst; you want
their full life and service.
FrankllnS VIII average 2500 miles
without a puncture and the tires will
give service for more than double
the mileage of the average equipment
That the Franklin has natural ad-
Vantages for tire economy is well
known. With full-elliptic springs and
flexible construction the strain on the
tires is reduced. They do not have
to take all the force of road shocks;
the springs and the laminated wood
chassis frame absorb their share. Then
the Franklin is light weight. Mr.. NJ.
A. Michelin, the noted tire manufac-
turer of France, has shown that every
per cent increase in the weight Of
an automobile increases the wear and
tear on the tires 10 per cent.
The time to take care of tire trouble
and insure economy in tire expense is
when you select your automobile. The
way to do that is to buy a Franklin
No other automobile offers similar ad-
vantages.
The same reasons that make the
Franklin easy on tires make it easy
to ride in it, Vibrations from road
shocks are taken up. not transmitted
through the automobile to the pas
sengers as is the case with rigid steel
frame and semi-elliptic spring con-
struction And the larger the tires
to the weight of an automobile the
easier it rides
Franklin without fatigue. Your nerve
system is not put under strain by
vibration and jolting.

MAXWELL COMPANIES
IN THE ASSOCIATION
FIRST CAR BUILT IN 1903. NOW
MAKING 5000 CARS
Company Is Constantly Increasing Its
Plant and Making New Factories
to Add More Capacity
for Supply

The Maxwell-B -Briscoe Motor company
of Tarrytown, n. Y, which was re-
Gently admitted to membership in the
Association of Licensed Automobile
Manufacturers, was organized In 1904
The officers of the company are as fol-
lows:
Benjamin Briscoe, president and gen.
eral manager; J. d. Maxwell, vice pres
ident and general superintendent;
Richard irwin, treasurer: f. ID. Dor
man, secretary. The directors of the
company, in addition TO the above, are
e. j. Corbett OF Detroit, Mich, and
Walter b. Horn of New York city.
These men have been the directors Of
the company since its inception.
Mr. Maxwell built the first Maxwell
car in Detroit in 1903, in partnership
with Benjamin Briscoe. The COM
pany's plant was then moved to larry
town, n. Y, where the factory of the
Mobile company of America was oc-
cupied under a lease option, the pur-
chase option being ayailed of the t1r5t
year.
The Maxwell -Briscoe company had
up to July, 1905, produced 532 cars; its
product then increased steadily In vol
ume year by year, the company haV-
ing IuiItu bul III NllN IL % A't'AN 'AANA'NA'''
of 1909 over 5000 cars.
At first there were produced runa-
bouts and touring cars, with q horizon
tally opposed engine under the hood
to these models there have been added
i'm recent years runabouts and touring
cars with four-cylinder engines.
In 1906 the company began the con-
struction of a new factory at Newcas-
tie, Ind. This factory represents a
heavy investment and contains on its
floor space of $4,000 square feet the
latest types and styles of labor-saVlng
machinery, the machinery and tools
alone constituting large outlay Be
sides the factory site of seYenty-tWo
acres. the company owns 3O7 acres of
adjoining land, on which there Is a
mile track used for testing cars, and
on which the company has erected and
is erecting over $50 dwellings.
Recently a factory was acquired at
CranstOn. a suburb of Providence, r.
l.. TO extend the company's New Eng
land manufacturing operations, which
had heretofore been conducted IN a
plant at Pawtucket, r. l. The Gran
ston plant has a floor space OF 1oOOOO
square feet, and is now being fully
equipped for manufacturing.
The company has an additional plant
at North Tarrytown, n. Y.
Mr.. Maxwell may be called one of the
pioneers of the industry. In 1894 he
was engaged in automobile work in
Kokomo, Ind. Then he was with the
Olds Motor works. He was afterWard
prominently connected with the North
ern Manufacturing company. LeaV-
ing this company he went into partner
shin with Benjamin Briscoe IN the
manufacture Of motor cars.
Benjamin Briscoe has long been one
Of the principal men in the automobile
industry. He came into the automo-
bile industry through the sheet metal
and automobile parts business, in
which he began to manufacture in
1901. and whence he has had phe-
nomenal rise in the automobile bus
mess.

AUTO RACES WILL BE RUN
FOR GOOD ROADS FUND
Series of Events TO Be Held, Profits
of Which Go to State Good
Roads Fund

The enthusiasm aroused throughout
Louisiana for improved highways at
the good roads convention held in that
state during the summer has led to
the calling of a second good roads con-
yention at New Orleans for today. An
important feature will be the holding
of a series of automobile races over
the mile race track in New Orleans,
sanction for which was recently grant
ed by the A. A. A. contest board, and
the New Orleans managers have Sc
cured Fred j. Wagner as starter. The
profits from the race meet will go to
the good roads fund of the state. Gov
ernor Sanders, who called the recent
good roads convention, has consented
to act as one of the honorary officials
at the motor races and he will deliver
one of the principal addresses at the
convention outlining the needs of bet
ter roads for Louisiana.

New Bucks Coming

The first seven passenger touring car
10 reach the coast from the Buick fac
tory has just been received by the
Howard Automobile company. Follow
ing the lines of the other Buick models
and finished in very dark blue with
cream running gear the new seven
passenger Buick is a most attractive
car The motor is four cylinders 5X5,
developing 50-hOrse power; Wheei base
100 inches 36-inch wheels and three
speod selectfve transmission.
The we'll known high standard or
Buick construction is followed in this
new creation, and Howard's only regret
is that there will be a limited number
of the seven-passenger type produced
and that the few he is able to secure
will be entirely taken up within the
next few weeks and no more Will be OBJ
tainable during the entire season.

CadiIIacs Catching Up

The Cadillacs continue to arrive by
the carload, and up to last night the
Lee Motor Car company had delivered
seventy 1910 Cadillac thirties since Oc-
tober is. This has been an average OF
more than two a day, and the Lee
forces claim a record for California.
1t is doubtful if another agent in the
east has delivered so many cars in so
short a time. For the first time this
season this company has one car for

MOTORCYCLE POLICE
SQUAD OF LOS ANGELES
Two Expert Riders Are In Charge Of
Speed Laws and Look After the
Lawbreakers of the City

The motorcycle squad of the Los An
geles police department is one of the
most modest portions Of the depart
ment there is. 1t consists of two of
the coolest and most level-headed men
on the force. They are Patrick Coe
and II. L. Gardner, both mounted on
two of the fastest motorcycles in the
city.
1t is the duty of these two officers
to see that the speed laws of the
municipality are not wantonly vio-
lated, and they have a way of doing
it that is not the offensive manner of
arrest customary to violators of the
law.
A whirring machine with a reckless
driver comes buzzing down the street
at a gait exceeding what the authori-
ties have prescribed for driving pur-
poses on the streets and bouleYards,
Coe and Gardner simply ride up to
the driver, take the number of his
car and notify him to appear at the
court at such and such an hour the
following morning, and they are there
to hear the fate the court will pro-
nounce.
Coe and Gardner are not real stick
lers for the exact speed limit, as for
example the limits of the eightmile
boundary is between Pico and Tenn
pie streets. but they overlook any
time that is not exceeding twelve miles
per hour and allow the speed ordinance
to be extended to twenty miles where
the limit is specified as twelve miles
per hour.
Both officers state that they find the
general automobile driver ready to ac-
cede to the laws commands and are
not willful in the fast driving question,
but a general desire to obey the or
dinance wherever 1t applies.
Coe and Gardner are both expert
motorcycle riders. and 1t has to be
some fast car that can ever show
either of them their heels. Both are
modest in demeanor and courteous to
all with whom they come In contact.

It was Nikitin's aim TO make a flank
attack from Narva on the defending

corps on its south. The umpires decided
that the attacking force had made the
