motorists are confused over this question of
motor car efficiency.
On July 13 of this year, I7o Franklin
dealers put the Franklin car to simple but
practical efficiency test With stock cars and
one-gallon supply of gasoline for each car,
the remarkable nationalaverage of 4o.3 miles
was recorded. The entire I7o tests were
attested to by drivers and observers before
Notary Publics,
The chief aim of this national test was to
put before the motdrist simple and equi-
table basis of comparison between the efl-
cency of the Franklin and the efficiency of
any other make of car Any car of any make
can easily follow this simple test

What Franklin's New Thrift Record
Means to Thinking Motorists

Experience with motor cars soon tells the
motorlst that gasoline economy is more
significant than merely low gasoline bills.
For the wear, tear and friction that wastes
gasoline is the same that tends to wear out
car.
You can see why the free-running Franklin
lasts longest and bears minimum depreciation.
Also how its hneness-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
the Franklin owners tire average of over
10000 miles per set.
And Franklin direct alr cooling does more
than convert every particle of gasoline into
mileage 1t frees the owner of the worry of
a water-cooling system, the freezing and over
heating troubles.
AS final proof, investigate the used-car
market The conspicuous scarcity of Franklns
is story Of long life and economical service
One thing is certain-you can't get Motor
Car Economy by talking about it Either
the car has it-or it hasn't.

Only a Thoroughly Efficient Car
Can Give Big Gasoline Mileage

Experienced motorists, as well as scientific
men, accept gasoline economy as the real
measure Of motor car efficiency, on the ptin-
oPle that anything that influences the
service car gives eventually shows up in
gasoline consumption.
For example, take any car that gives but
seven to twelve miles to the gallon of gasoline
Here you find ponderous machinery, super
Auous dead weight and rigidity, all demand
ing more gasoline to move the car along.
Under the hood you find gasoline con-
suming machinery, which the Franklin elm
inates-the usual TT complicated parts of
the water-eooling system.
And take into account the tire bills of the
car extravagant with its gasoline: = For the
same yearly mileage, nearly three times what
it costs the Franklin owner.

Suspect Help For
Motor Cycle Theft

Patrolmen Thomas King and Will
liam Nichols, of the Cliffside Park po-
lice department, were congratulated
Tuesday night for the clever manner
in which they captured the alleged
thief who stole motorcycle from Mel
son o. Notter, of West Fort Lee.
Officer King, who brought the
speeding motorcyclist to halt by a
clever ruse, put him through mild
third-degree that quickly convinced
him that he had man who was
abroad with no good intentions. He
stated he was chef, but temporarily
employed and that Tuesday being his
day off, he took a spin into the coun-
try. He could give Officer King no
clear description of his days outing
but his dressy apparel and classy top
coat belied his statement of riding a
motorcycle all day. This evidence
was clear enough for Officer King who
soon had the lad in the cooler.

North Hudson Beat
Tom Martin Agar,

The result of the mayoralty cleo
ton in West New York, that busy
bustling, progressive town has at
tracted much attention all over Hud-
son county and East eBrgen. 1t was
clear cut fight between Tom Martin,
owner of the Hudson Dispatch, and
the voters who are getting tired of
his dominating, domineering attempt
at running North Hudson municipali-
ties.
Ex-Mayor Richard Miller, one of
the finest men in the acquaintance of
the writer, man who has accom-
plished more real good for the peo-
pie without soaking them, accepted
the mantle offered by Tom. Mr.. Mil
Ter offered to keep out of the race in,
favor of Joe Still, who was not over
anxious to plunge in the dirty whirl-
pool of North Hudson politics. Mr..
Miller then entered the race as an
independent, but just as soon as the
elutching hand of Martin was seen
in the game the hue and cry was set
up. They wanted Miller but not
Martin, and failing to divorce them,
Still was forced in the race. The re-
suits speak for themselves. Another
instance of the unpopularity of Tom
Martin is the defeat of Councilman
Freudenberg. This man ran highest
ON the ticket three years ago, but
has been playing Martins game in
the Council, and man, mere nov
ice in the political game, Joe Leer,
defeated him.
Now Tom Martin knew this was
coming. He is shrewd and knows a
bit about the game. His hollow vic
tory in Union Hill, his home town,
has cost him dearly. To GUST Ran
nenberg he made an alliance with
the Republicans of that town and
bitterly walls because the Republic
can measure their strength against
him. But getting down to hard
tacks, Tom Martin, knowing these
defeats were coming to him, has bsen
signing for new worlds to conquer,
and taking the line of least resistance,
