SAXON CAR GETS 27.19 MILES OUT OF
 GALLON OF GAS
Completed Journey Shows Roadster Has Established New Record
 for Fuel Consumption

Saxon boundary roadster has complet- ed its journey around the rim of the country and blazed the trail for nation al boundary highway" said Paul Craw- ford, local dealer
 "It finished the trip at Washington, where the start was made at inauguration time last March in splendid mechanical condition and with brand new economy record in fuel and tire consumption.
 Tn a total of 12,156 miles of travel that the roadster completed in it's jour ney, the gasoline consumption was Al gallons. This is an average of 27. .1s niles to the gallon-a record for rransconti- mental touring.
 "When it is considered that the Saxon roadster travelled over some of the worst highways in the country and through all kinds of weather the fuel consumption record is even a better proof of the econ- omy of the Saxon roadster than could be gained by any private or public test. The boundary trip was not an ordinary drive. It was a long, hard grind that taxed the ear and drivers to the utmost.
 Leaving Washington in the early spring, the roadster went south through seas of southern mud to the very tip of Florida and then around the gulf and west along the border to the Pacific. It was hot summer when the car was in California and the next stage of the journey found the snowy passes of the Canadian Rockies From there was the long hard trip across the trails of the Canadian border and then angling south into the Great Lakes region, where sum- mer in full heat was again encountered. All these conditions. all the roads that were broken for travel after heavy rains by the roadster failed to at any time halt the progress of the car. Each day saw distance gained. One big point in the trip is the fact that the Saxon did not find an impossible road-one it could not negotiate.
 Tn the tire wear, the roadster estab- lished an enviable mark. Tt came from Los Angeles east to Washington on a single set of tires. The total mileage was 605o miles and there still are several hun dred more miles of running in the set.
 The boundary trip proved successful from every angle. At all points the car was greeted by big crowds and the plan for national boundary highway, which was fostered by the Saxon Motor Car corporation, now has government support in a bill before Congress to provide for such a roadway" concluded Mir. Craw- ford.

GREAT VOLUME OF BUSINESS IS SHOWN
 BY FRANKLIN PLANT
By Middle of June, 1917, Production Had Already Exceeded Output
 for 1916

From the day the United States en-
 tered the world war, up to the present
 time, the business of the Franklin Au-
 tomobile company has showed greater
 volume than the entire business during
 for 1917 had already exceeded the total for
 the entire preceding year In fact, at the
 present time the Franklin company is
 producing three times as many cars as
 six months ago and nearly twice as many
 as were being made only as far back as
 April" says Charles Denegre of the Southern garage, local Franklin dealers.
 Tn spite of this greatly augmented pro- auction, orders on hand have kept ahead of shipments anywhere from six to i0 weeks. This condition existed even through the readjustment period imme diately following this countrys entry into the war.
 The Franklin factory, which during the past year has been practically dou- bled i'll size. is now runing in full swing, | including all the recent additions. and production has reached the rate of 12,001 cars per year, three times the production rate existing in 1916. The biggest single
 days shipment in the history of the :, Franklin company was on August H. and totalled 64 cars; the biggest week. ending August 10, registered an output
 of 26S cars
 I For the seven months to August l. cash receipts for the Franklin company | increased IA per cent over the same pc riod last year May, June and July re- ceipts were 340 per cent bigger than in the same months in 1916.
 During the past month Franklin deal CTS have contracted for s10.00o.0o0 worth of automobiles for the next six months At practically every point in the United States the requirements of Franklin deal- CTS exceed the available supply that the

CHILE FINDS MOTOR GAR USEFUL IN WAR
Keen Interest and Rapid Development Noted in

 Tt Is the very just and patriotic de- sire of those who are at the head of our military school, to extend at all times the instruction given to the cadets. and they therefore conceived the idea of mobilizing q, company. with automobiles, on a war footing MT.

April last they very patriotically offered their co-opera- ton. placing their machines at the dis position of the military command of the school, The principal object of the man. euver was to try out the authorization, disembarkation and transport of troops in automobiles, and the result was am- ply satisfactory to the management of the school as well as to those of ns who had occasion to witness the maneu- yer, which was carried out in the most perfect order and verp rapidly $50 seconds in each of the operations of embarking and disembarking).

 Ut may be mentioned that neither go- ing nor coming did the cars suffer any accidents or get out of order. Upon the return to the school, Colonel Quiroga, in charge of the establishment, invited all of the chauffeurs to the subofficers' ca sino, where drinks were served, and in brief and patriotic sentences he thanked them for their enthusiastic assistance.
