What Franlxlin's New Thrift Record
Means to Thinking Motorists

Experience with motor cars soon tells the
motorist that gasoline economy is more
significant than merely low gasoline bills
For the wear, tear and friction that wastes
gasoline is the same thar tends to wear out
a car.
You can see why the hee-running Franklin
lasts longest and bears minimum depreciation.
Also how its fneness-right materials and
right construction leads to economy all
along the line.
1t is because the franklin is the scientific
lightweight car that it stops gasoline waste
And this light weight is what makes possible
tie Franklin owners tire average of over
10000 miles per set.
And Franklin direct air cooling does more
than convert every particle of gasoline into
mileage. 1t frees the owner of the worry of
water-oOoling system, the freezing and over
heating troubles.
As final proof, investigate the used-car
market The conspicuous scarcity of Franklins
is a story of long life and economical service.
One thing is certain-you can't get Motor

motorists are confused over this question of
motor car efficiency.
On July 70 of this year, I7o Franklin
dealers put the Franklin car to a simple but
practical efficiency test With stock cars and
one-gallon supply of gasoline for each car,
the remarkable national average of 4c.3 miles
Was recorded The entire 17o tests were
attested to by drivers and observers before
Notary PubGcs-
The chief aim Of this national test was to
put before the motorist simple and equi-
table basis of comparison between the eff
cheney of the Franklin and the efficiency Of
any other make of car. Any car Of any make
can easily follow this simple test.

First Wounded Sammy
Is Claimed by Seattle

Seattle, WASH, Nov. 2.-First Yankee
blood has been shed under the Stars and
Stripes in the trenches-and the man
struck down is from Seattle.
Official notification has been made
by General Pershing to the war depart
ment. The soldier is Lieutenant Devere
H. Harden. His moter, Mrs. Ella N. Har-
den, lives at 1046 Sixty-sixth avenue,
south. One brother is Charles Harden,
vice president Of the Steam Supply and
Rubber company of Seattle. Another
brother is known to boxing fans as
"Billie Wright.
Fourteen years ago Devere Harden
enlisted in the regular army here as a
private. Steadily he worked his way
from the ranks, serving in the signal
corps as a telegraph and wireless oper-
ator.
Harden performed his duty well from
Alaska to the Panama canal and with
Pershing in Mexico. He became a first
lieutenant just before Pershing's men
sailed for France, June 21.
Last Year Harden was stationed at
Fort Lawton, in Seattle.
