NUT HOUNDS WIN
SUCCESS FOR CARS
Hunter Of Missing Bolts,
Screws and Other Mechanical
Parts Has Big Job.
SHARP DETECTIVE WORK

"As an evidence of the greater care
and more minute attention given to
.es small details which go to make
a motor car, witness the duties OF
the sales Inspector" says Sales Man
ager F.. L. Pierce of the Regal Motor
Car company. !,
"For years every factory employed
numerous inspectors, who were
charged with the inspection and ad-
iustment of automobiles at various
stages in their making. These inspec-
tors and the final inspectors who
passed upon the completed cars, were
under the direction of the production
department.
I'm many factories where quantity
was the main requisite--a car would
be passed by the final inspector when
it was mechanically complete--that is
to say, when it was finished and in
running condition from the produc-
ton engineers standpoint.
However, these inspectors often
missed the smaller details which APP
pear alarmingly large to the man
who IS to sell the car, ana winch oIten
caused a sale to fall fiat, as the pros
pective purchaser considered these
defects of inspection as perhaps being
representative of the entire car.
ITO the sales inspector falls the
Job OF giving the car more than a
cursory once over. He must carefully
inspect the car for missing nuts, bolts,
screws and other small mechanical
features. But his inspection goes even
furthcr-fnish, upholstery and trim
mings must be properly done. And
then comes the search for missing
tools, accessories and misplaced fur
nishings. When everything is COM
plete and properly installed. from the
Dealers and the buyers point of view,
then the sales department inspector
gives his O. X. This O. X. is not
given to facilitate production or for
ind other reason; it is only given as
final warranty of completeness to
my car which comes from the Regal
factory"

Lightness Of Auto Is
A Great HeIp to Tires

"How far a car goes on a set Of
tires is question of first Importance
to the motorists" asserts H. Pelton of
the Franklin Motor Car company,
Omaha. ITO answer it for their
product, the Franklin Automobile
company has just completed a COM
pilation Of averages taken from re-
ports received from, owners in all
parts of the country.
1.-THE records cover the period be-
ginning with 1912 and ending with
January, 1915 five years. The grand
average for these FIVE years is l0,203
miles per set of tires.
"The Franklin designers explain
this extraordinary mileage briefly,
viz; scientific light weight plus flexi-
BILE construction.
"The Franklin is widely noted for
Its lightness, the touring car tipping
the beam at $3.50 pounds, with other
models proportionately light. This
lightness makes possible flexible, re-
silent type of construction, for light
parts can be allowed much freedom
Of movement without danger from
racking and straining.'

Governors Have No
Power, Says Crowder
to Ask Rehearings

Washington,s Oct. 5. - Misunder
standing as to the powers of COVER
nOrs of the states to review the action
of local or district draft boards caus-
ed. Provost Marshal General CroWder
to: telegraph= all governofs todayst ia sup.
Elementary explanation Of their duties
in that regard. The governors and ,ad.
jutants general of the states have
been swamped with appeals for re-.
hearings upon which they had no au-
thority to act.
"Only where through error in law or
through the non-culpable ignorance of
the registrant, man has been held
for service who should have been dis
charged, or exempted" the message
said, "is authority to request re-hear-
ings by the board granted to the gov
ernOrs."
!. The message makes it plain that the
boards are the only judges of facts
brought out in the hearing of any case,
and if their decision is rendered in
legal way, no power even to request a
re-hearing can be granted to anyone
To that injunction, however, the mes
sage couples warning that requests
made by the governors in accordance
with the regulations should be given
full respect and attention by the
boards.
General Crowder said there is no
justification for the attempt that has
been made by many registrants Ito in
teriect into the established system at
this time the governor or his adjutant
general as new board of review"

opportunity to bomb or bayonet them,
when they might have stopped and
shot them easily with the rifle.

General Wood Says Tobacco
Is a Necessity for Soldiers


General Leonard Wood, former COM
mander of the Department of the
East and designated to command a
division of the National Army to be
modified at Fort Riley, Kansas, said
recently: =
'The idea of sending tobacco to the
American soldiers in France is CAPT.
tai one. Nothing gives a soldier in
the field more pleasure and content
ment than a cool refreshing smoke
after a hand days fighting or while
awaiting call to the firing line.
Life in the trenches is very hard,
and l know the American soldier will
appreciate and enjoy remembrances
in the form of tobacco, cigars, cigar
cites and pipes"
There, Fellow Citizens! There is
plain language from man who knows.
You don't want any better endorse
ment for our fund than this. General
Wood is only one of the public men
who has gone on record with state
ment that our soldiers abroad must
have tobacco and cigarettes. Our to-
bacco fund is making it easy for you
to help. Your quarter starts it and
