REMEMBER YOUR BOY
IN THE SERVICE

This incident happened very re-
Gently at the naval training station
on Goat Island. In San Francisco
bay:
Fifteen hundred rockies, lads who
had just arrived at the station.
we're surrounding a sailor purched
on a box distributing mail. The
boat had just arrived and the mail
was being handed out. AS the
names of the sailors we're called the
lads would step up and receive the
letters addressed to them. 1t was a
fascinating sight. The sailor dis
tributing the mail would call the
name and Immediately would come a
reply and a willing hand backed by
a happy smile would reach out and
take the etter. Then the lad would
walk away, his face fairly beaming
He would seek a quiet spot and read
and sometimes re-read the letter.
So it continued for Is minutes I'M
til the crowd was pretty we'll thin
ned out. All around were sailors in
tently reading. Some had a smile
OIL their faces. others looked more
serious and there was one lad who
sobbed az if his heart would break.
Dad news?" queried his chum.
Poor old Towser is gone" sobbed
the lad In reply. THE folks say he
wouldn't eat a thing after | had gone
and they found him Sunday back of
the barn. dead
The last letter had been distrib-
uted and the postman had departed
but there still fingered a dozen or
more lads with long faces and seri-
Gus mein. They were the boys for
whom there was no letter. II meant
a whole lot to those boys to hear
from home. II would have lifted a
heavy load from their hearts to have
received just one line from someone
that cared. They felt in their boy.
way that no one thought of them
They we're respondent in a frame of
that meant disaster to them.
All of which carries its lesson.
Keep in touch with your boy. The
home influence is the strongest tie
he has to keep him morally straight.

Curious Effects of High Explosives

Curious Efects OF High EXPLOSIVES

The explosive force Of the big shells

these effects have been to deprive men

AT this time, we believe, il would
be very Opportune to furnish to our
dealers and their organizations not
only our opinion about business in

should prove not only interesting,
but convincing" says Henry Krohn,
sales manager of the Paige Detroit
Motor Car Co.
1T Is only natural that when a
country like the United States en-
tiers into a state OF warfare II would
tend. at least for a short time, to
bring about an unsettled feeling in
the minds Of a certain percentage
of the people and that condition
would exist only because the per-
centage we refer 10 have had their
minds permeated by various news
items.
There isn't anything tangible to
base this mental condition on.
This company, by reason Of the
tremendous investment, has natural
IN gone into all matters pertaining
10 the future in a very careful and
business-like manner with a view Of
determining what our future policy
should be.
THE future policy of this COM
pany should prove particularly in
teresting 10 those who are engaged

I'VE ind that this mental condi-
ton that has. i'm a measure. existed
throughout the country Is gradually
disappearing and some few points
that have perhaps been affected To a
greater extent than others have got
ten back on an absolutely normal
basis and are doing business in the
usual way. with the usual volume,
and the future business outlook, as
far as we can determine. is excel
lent, and we base our opinion on &C
tual facts and not supposition.
What has made the wonderful
prosperity that we have enjoyed the
last couple of years? The money
that has been put into circulation
by reason of purchases by the allies

GASOLINE SUPPLY
IS NEAR LIMIT
Strict Measures Must be
Taken to Conserve Oil,
Says Expert.

According 10 reports from the Ok
lahoma oil fields, the gasoline pro-
auctions of 1917 will not be sufi-
cient TO last through the year. un-
less radical conservation measures
are taken DR.. Burton of the
Standard Oil CO. told members of
the society of Automobile Engineers
recently. that as close as could be
estimated, 1917 production would
reach $500, 100000 gallons, Of which
American automobiles would use
2,O0O,000000. leaving 500.000,0 900
gallons. for use by military trucks,
10 be exported TO the allies.
The supply of oil can not be in
creased" said DR.. Burton. Either
strict measures must be taken by
the government or double the
amount Of value extracted from the
oil"
Motorists would, undoubtedly,
rather see the latter alternative fol-
lowed in conserving the supply, in
asmuCh as il would not mean that
motor car mileage would have to be
curtailed. People are needing the
use Of automobiles nowadays more
than ever and any restriction would
work a distinct hardship.
Among the manufacturers. the
Franklin company has always en-
couraged demonstrations Of the low
gasoline consumption of its cars.
and also kept a very careful record
OF owners results. which for 1917.
have averaged better than % miles
per gallon.
The Franklin cOmpany's solution
10 the gasoline problem is weight
reduction. which implies simplify
ing motor car mechanism and the
reduction Of internal friction, all Of
which consume fuel In the opinion
OF Franklin engineers. any refine
ment that reduces gasoline con-
sumption also works economies all
along the line. particularly on tires
and depreciation. They believe that
gasoline mileage is a true barometer
OF motor car thrift.
