The same man was IN China just
prior 10 the recent revolution. The
fact that he succeeded in taking sew
cral photographs within the walls of
the forbidden city, where cameras
are not tolerated, indicates that there
was little suspicion Of the impending
outbreak, even as iate as May 10.
Guards did not seem as numerous as
he lad seen them on previous occa-
siOnS, he said. Much interest was
conferred on the session OF permanent
at that time. because of the debate
on China's proposed entry in the war.
Rumors Of possible outbreaks in
India were discounted by the Detroit
man, who declared that both troops
and civilians everywhere are loyal to
the British cause and that an excel
lent system of colonization is being
operated to great advantage. The
streets of Bombay were crowded con-
stantly with soldiers, indicating that
recruiting was proceeding ut lively
pace.

OVERLAND SALES TOP
PREVIOUS HIGH MARK
Retail July Sales Totalled
$13,611.775, Hitherto
Unrivalled.

This Is a big day In the affairs OF
WHY'S Overland, Inc. Figures just
compiled in the retail sales depart
ment of that institution reveal an
other monthly retail sales record. in
that the July retail sales amounted
to Sl3,611,775, an increase of S2,5Oo,-

record which was established in June
of this year.

as 1t did In the midst OF a world war
and with the public mind more or
less unsettled as to business condi-

WHY'S Overland branches. distribu-
tors and dealers reported sales of
1852 cars during July. This figure,
however WHY'S Overland officials
point out, does not include the total
number OF sales that month. Past
experience proves, II is said. that re-
ports for about 10 per cent OF the
total sales at retail are never turned
In to the factory because of inatten-
ton OF the dealer, who sometimes Is
too busy selling cars TO file his
routine reports for the home office.
Altho working at top speed. the
Toledo factory has been unable to
maintain pace with sales. During

Ho,u Franklin Thrift
Applies to the En-
closed Car

With their scientific light
weight, resiliency and direct-air-
cooling, the Franklin Enclosed
Cars show within a mere frac-
ton the same remarkable econ
omy as the open models, and
the same day-after-day mobility.
For any kind of touring the
Franklin Enclosed models are
ideal-affording protection from
dust, glare and rain, freely ven-
tilated, cool and restful.
This means that one car does
the work of two-and the owner
of a Franklin Enclosed Car gets
his year round motor car service
on practically half the initial in
veskment of the man who has to
buy one car for summer use and
another for winter.

~ said that the things that
N will not stand tai the test of
war conditions are not
worthy to survive after the war.
1t is true that war needs, and the
state of mind induced by the
war, throw a new light on much
that Americans have spent their
money for.
Among these things is the
short-lived car.
Cars have been built and sold
on features, novelties, talking
points, engine stunts.
One year the whole country
talks about a car and next year
its users condemn it as a zone
year car.
Do not put all the blame on
the manufacturer; perhaps his
idea of business is to supply the
people what they want. 1t is a
much slower process givingthem
what they ought to have.
There has always been a pub
lie for the long-service car.
Practical, hard-headed men who,
even if they buy a new model
every year, are shrewd enough
to see the relation between long
life and used car value.

Economy Demanded in
Motor Car Operation

The secondhand value is
especially high where there is the
combination of strength, light
ness and fexibility, because these
things mean economy of opera
ton and long life.
This is emphasized because
there is a section of the public
that has always associated strength
and endurance with dead-weight
and rigidity-the very things
that pile up operating cost and
wear out a car.
1t is a fact that war conditions
and the National Thrift are max
ing bigger market for the
Franklin as the fine car of the
strong, light, flexible type.

The big public is waking up
to the truth about gasoline waste,
tire mileage, friction loss and de-
probation.
People keep right on buying
cars-but they are thinking more
about constructive service and
use.
The automobile is a tremen-
dous factor in American life and
achievement, in national health
and efficiency, in conservation
of human energy, in the ready
contact between men and their
affairs.
Automobile owners want to
use their cars more freely. They
are impatient of weight, rigidity,
excessive upkeep-all the old and
arbitrary restrictions.

citizen and automobile owner,
