Some old timers in the automo-
bile world contend that the chain
driven cars of the early days were
superior in road holding ability TO
the average car of today. This, they
assert, was due to the fact that the
rear axle of the chain driven car
was relieved of the weight of differ
entail gears and case, and interior
driving shafts, making il exception
ally light in proportion to the total
weight of the car. Franklin engi-
neers claim TO have overcome this
difficulty by producing a light
weight car in which the axles are
said to be 80 percent lighter than in
the average. Dario Resta's Peugeot's
I'm which he won the 1916 cham
pionship of the American speed
ways. which weighed 2,275 pounds,
is pointed to in vindicatiOn Of the
light weight argument.
The touring sedan, Chalmers
points out, has done away with the
former necessity of buying both a
limousine and a touring body and
switching according TO the temper
ature's dictates. The adaptability
of the sedan to all weather cOndi-
tions is apparently the big element
of its growing popularity with the
motor buying public.
Gasoline leakage is one Of the
underlying causes Of fabrication
troubles which is often overlooked
by the motorist," says Max Hagel-
slime. Studebaker service manager.
'Tt is generally caused by a certain
amount of mixture which is not
burned and finds its way into the
crank case. diluting the oil and de-
stroying its lubricating qualities.
Oil diluted with gasoline becomes
mighty poor lubricant and will
leave the cylinders dry if allowed
to continue unchecked.
The motor car industry repre-
sents the standard of organization
up 10 which the rest Of the country
must measure if we are 10 make
real showing in the approaching
war" SAYS ]. G. Flowers, president
OF the Premier corporation. The
American motor car industry has
long been doing, as a matter of
daily practice, the very thing that
the whole country must do in a
national emergency. Volume pro-
duction must be driven forward at
terrific speed and at the same time
quality must be kept up"

Delaware and Hudson at Lowest,
 ''NeW Haven" at Minimum.

Wall street.-Trading at the outset of today's session suggested a contin- uance of last weeks extreme dullness. The usual irregular price changes were registered, Delaware and Hudson falling almost points to the low record of 102B. Other coalers were heavy, notably Lehigh Valley and Reading, which lost one and two points each. Shippings, tobacco. oila, and few specialties were fractional ly higher, but steels and equipments became increasingly reactionary with coppers.
 Coalers led the active list to lower levels during the first hour. Read- ing and most others of that division extended early losses and New York Central Northern Pacific and Sea- board preferred averages recessions of a point. The trend of industrials and specialties was indicated by U. $. Steel, which reacted a point from it's best. Substantial rallies set in at noon.
 New HaNens decline of F to it's previous minimum of 32 1s and reces- sions of 1 to + points in Tobacco Products, Ohio Fuel, Wilson Packing and Sinclair Oil accompanied the light dealings of the afternoon. Local trac- tions also were heavy.

places. after going through the morn ing's performance, we look around and find nine big French planes are having a game of tag with the German gum ners. They are running we'll over the German lines and dropping bombs. They can easily be located by the track of shrapnel which breaks above, below and on all sides of them as the Boche tries in vain to get their range. When the shell fire begins to close they turn and retire behind their own lines to repeat the performance over and over again. Finally they appar- ently have had their full of fun and depart for headquarters. AS soon as they disappear a Boche courageously comes forth and flies over us, followed by French shrapnel and again breaks or drops around us. One of the Frenchmen Is hit and slightly wound ed, which Is the only mar to the day. Retributioin follows swiftly, however as it gets too hot for MT. Boche and he decides to go home. Suddenly there Is a burst of smoke apparently right under the plane and 1t drops to the ground, turning over and over as 1t falls. Whether he fell behind his own lines or not we don't know, but judging from the height at which he was flying when hit it will matter little to him. The lieutenant has offered five francs to any man who saw a plane brought down by shrapnel fire and there is liable to be quite a drain age on his bank account.
 The excitement is now over and we go home without mishap and we get there at 6, tired, dirty and hungry, but happy. The more adventurous ones who have kept clamoring that they wanted to see some excitement are now noticeable quiet and we wash, eat and go to bed, prepared for a deep sleep. Cest Ia. Euerre.'
