Davis says he has observed tomatoes

wagons with springs, which reduce
their capacity, and in this way incur
an expense to overcome the bad con-

Economical Service
(complIed by Milo Blake


II has been said that fully 90 per
cent of motor truck troubles are due
to the carelessness of the drivers.
Whether this is true or not is difficult
to say. but 1t is certain that many
troubles arise, due either to lack of
attention on the part of the operator
or because they are not sufficiently
familiar with the mechanical details

ate attention is required, to avoid
trouble. ...' -.
Economical service from any motor
car depends upon systematic care.

BODY CONSTRUCTION NEXT
BIG PROBLEM OF BUILDERS

The next big step in the automobile
industry, and one that is being taken
now, is not a question of mechanism,
but Of body construction, according to
George 8. White. sales manager Of the
Grant Motor Car Corporation. "The
advent of the convertible enclosed car
at low cost is the most interesting
development of the motor business in
1916-1917," said Mr. White. "The most
interesting development of the year to
many persons Is the advent of low
priced. but high quality convertible
sedan"
How complex is the problem con.
fronting the automobile designer In
building the modern car can be better
appreciated when 1t is known that
economy of operation is very largely
dependent ON such an apparently in.
significant point as the location of the
valves in the cylinders. The location
of valves determines the shape of the
combustion chamber. an important
factor In efficient operation in view Of
the part it plays in determining the
rate of combustion, the heat loss
through the cylinder walls, the thor.
oughness with which the cylinder Is
cleared of burned gases and the
amount of fuel condensation. The
Franklin is stated to have always been
leading exponent OF scientific design
and efficiency in motor car construc.
tion, and the use of the valve in the
head type of cylinder in the Franklin
engine has been standard practise
since 1902. incidentally, the Franklin
was the first car in the American field
with a valve in the head engine.
