new FRANKLIN
ROADSTER HERE

Probably no term in automobile
nomenclature has been more misused
than 'runabout" In the days when
horse vehicles were fashionable, run
about" meant a light, rugged and con-
venient rig that accommodated two
people. Today, it is not uncommon to
see the features of a runabout, as
adapted to automobiles, almost lost
by reason of heavy weight and high
power. Many so-called runabouts of
this type are, in reality, no more than
one-seat cars.
Judging by the new series Franklin
Runabout that has just been delivered
by the Wheelock Auto Co. to F. e.
Ball of this city, the Franklin COM
pany had in mind the established
characteristics Of a runabout when
this car was designed. Since the car
weighs only 2160 pounds, such ele-
ments as economy, easy handling and
ability can be expected. The Franklin
Runabout is strictly a two passenger
car. Any compromise in the form Of
a three-passenger or an emergency
four passenger car has been purposely
avoided. Body lines are just rakish
enough to add the snap that run
about requires.
Anyone who uses a runabout gen.
orally requires plenty Of luggage room.
The hamper in the rear of the Frank
lin runabout body is large enough to
carry an outfit for a three months
tour. Just back of the seat is another
compartment that carries small pack
ages. This compartment Immediately
appeals to man as a great place for
carrying a gun or fishing tackle when
the car is used for sport. The woman
on shopping tour could not have a
handler place for small bundles.-Pub.

ity of high order.

THE GARRICK

Marie Doro, the celebrated stage and
screen star, who recently scored such
a pronounced success in Oliver Twist,
will be seen at the Garrick today and
THURSDAY in the Jesse L. Lasky produc-
ton of the clever Irish drama, Castles
for Two, written especially for her.
The story of Castles for Two has to
do with the adventures of an impulsive
lleiress, who, firing of social life in
New York, fees with her nurse to Ire
land, and, disguised as maid, wins
the heart of an impecunious but fine
Irish lord
The efforts of this young society girl,
trained to be waited upon, to act as a
servant in order to make the lord and
his wealth-seeking family, believe she
is of poor ORIGIN, are depicted by Miss
Doro in her usual charming manner.
AS the wealthy society girl, Miss
Doro has an opportunity to display a
number of beautiful gowns, several OF
which were designed especially for this
production.
The production is unusually artistic
and the exterior scenes especially
beautiful.

intellectual Flower Taken.
"One or the most lamentable results
OF the war from the nations engaged
In 1t, Is that the intellectual flower Of
their population Is the first to be de-
stroyed.
In Europe the students and educat-
ed young men Of the nations are
well nigh gone. They are lost to the
world. Less than ten per cent Of the
student body is left in oxford and
Cambridge and fully one-third OF the
faculties are gone. 1t is being recog-
nized today that one Of the most seri-
GUS results of the war to these ma
tions as regards their rehabilitation
and development is the almost total
destruction of those to whom the ma
ton must look for intellectual leader
ship. These nations will be so much
weaker, less progressive. less able TO
solve the problems which will con-
front them in government, commerce,
education and in all departments Of
life.
First Call Makes Inroads.
THE first call to the colors of the
United States has made great in
roads upon her students and upon the
educated and the trained portion of
the population from which the ma
tons leaders for the near future will
come If they are not slaughtered in
Europe which they will be should this
war last year longer.
"Other thousands will be taken by
next fall. Two or three years Of war
will take them all. The ranks Of our
colleges and universities must be kept
filled. The boys now in the colleges
should be kept there. 1t is the patri-
otto duty of Fargo college to be kept
open and its work kept up to full
strength.
A Scientific War.
"This is a scientific war and II 1t
continues a year or more we shall
need to replenish the decimated ranks
Of our army with intellectually trained
men to take the places of the edu-
Gated men of the land who have

Mrs. John d. spreckels. Jr

San Francisco, CAL, June 11.-After
hiding for couple of years in the
comparative obscurity Of the Spreck-
els millions, the former Sidi Writ, a
Kansas girl Of a picturesquely ro-
mantle career, is again in the public
eye, her home here having been at
tached by the divorced wife of John
D. Spreckels, Jr., for unpaid alimony.
Welded by the flip Of coin, di-
vorced, famed as a stage beauty and
dancer, the bewitching Sidi of Gar
den City reached the pinnacle of her
ambition when, in 1915. she became
the wife of the Pacific coast multi
millionaire. 1t was soon after Spreck-
els and his first wife were divorced
that Sidi Writ became Mrs. Spreck-
els.
John D. Spreckels, Jr., came into
her life when she blossomed behind
the footlights, her entrance upon a
stage career at Seattle having fol-
lowed her divorce from Harry Will
liams, a childhood sweetheart.
Dropped the Count.
Williams was a newspaper man in
Hutchinson, Kan, and after. their
meeting in Kansas City in 1910 Sidi'
Writ cared less for Hugos Leal, SON.
of Brazilian count she had met at
Valparaiso university.
The toss of coin decided the out
come Of the newspaper mans ardent
wooing and sealed the fate of the
Brazilian nobleman. They were motor
riding one day, Williams and Sidi,
and the girl said, wen toss up a
coin to see whether marry you or
go back to the count"
Williams tossed-and won.
The day before the date set for her
marriage to the Brazilian Sidi Writ
was welded to Williams.
The glow of romance soon died,
however, and separation was followed
by Mrs. Williams appearance on the
stage at Seattle as a dancer. Enter
young Spreckels-he was thirty three
and she twenty then the
necessary divorces.
First Mrs. S. Reweds.
Immediately the first Mrs. Spreck-
els was married to Frank w. Wake
field of San Francisco in Honolulu.
