Put Your Motoring On a War
Basis With the Franklin Car

Some people think they can solve the
thrift question by talking about it. The
War situation is actual and real. Every
man feels ii is his duty TO help the coun-
try, but he tells you what the Govern
ment ought to do instead Of taking the
first practical step-meeting the plain
facts in the things close at hand; things
he buys and uses and pays to maintain
Gasoline and rubber are prime neces-
sites of War. Yet many a ear owner
who talks thrift is actually destroying
fifty per cent more Of these commodities
than his motoring should require.
War Time Activity Demands Economy
in Motor Car Operation
Ask the man who gets eight, ten or
twelve miles to the gallon Of gasoline
and five or six thousand miles to the
set Of tires He probably has the feel
ing almost the conviction-that he can
do better with the Franklin, but it is
easier to close his eyes to the facts and
wonder whether the Franklins record
for gasoline and tire saving is really
and actually true.
He does not investigate he takes
refuge in general doubt
Another way he has of - stepping
the issue is 10 argue that in these days
it is better economy to hang on to his old
ear. He knows how wastefnl it is TO
run, vet he overlooks the fact that the
Franklin saving in gasoline, tires and oil
would more than carry his investment in
a Franklin Car.
Perhaps he saws he will meet cond

that while the average car is standing

Franklin Holds World Records for
Thrift and Efficiency
The Thrift and Efficiency Standards
of the franklin Car are matters of pub
lie racprd.
On May LIST, 1914, 81 Franklin Cars in
all parts of the country averaged 1928
miles to the gallon of gasoline.
On May LIST, 1915, 137 Franklin Cars
averaged 32.1 miles to the gallon.
On July 18th, 1917, 179 Franklin Cars
established the remarkable average of
40.3 miles to the single gallon of gaso-
line.
All records under Standard Efficiency
Test Rules
In the Yale University Fuel Economy
Test, Professor Lockwood and Arthur
B. Browne, M. E., established the fact
that the Franklin Car uses less gasoline
per mile than any other car with six or
more cylinders
On November 18th, 1915, a Franklin
Car covered 1O46 miles on single gal

Franklin Economy and Efficiency as
demonstrated by these records of low
gasoline consumption, continue through
out the car. Franklin owners individu-
al tire mileage reports, for instance, over
a period Of five years. give national
average of 10,2o3 miles to the set.
The value of the Franklin Car as an
investment is clearly shown every time
you find used Franklin for sale. It
brings a 20 per cent higher price than
any other fine car in proportion to its
first cost and the use it had. The time
is close at hand when the motorist must

ADVANTAGES IN THE REGULARS

There at least dozen good reasons why man desiring to enlist will do well to choose the regular army few of them the better chance for advancement the certainty of earlier service in France than in the other organzgations the opportunity for immediate training and the advantage of association with men who already know the business both in the ranks and above.
 This last point is worth thinking about First there are many little things which are better done by soldiers of experience The officers and noncom- mssioned officers in the regular army will in the long run take Nbetter of their than the amateur soldiers will They know about how to feed their and to look after their comforts in camp and field Health in camp depends in large measure on the knowledge which the officers have of camp sanitation, but to almost great an extent it de- pends upon the discipline of the men.
 There is that knowledge and discipline in the regu- lar army which means healthfu camp, and that is of the greatest factors from preventing army life from becoming unendurable
 Military knowledge and experience also contribute soldiers safety in the field while at the same time they make the soldier useful to his country
 The who wants to do his party for the de- fense of his flag and who wants to do it with mini mum of hardship and maximum of opportunity, both for advancement and service, will make no mistake if he joins the regualr army of the United States
