PRACTICALLY EVERY
HOUSE DAMAGED
BY EARTHQUAKE
Houses Owned by Chinese in
Swallow are Demolished
Others Slightly Damaged.

Hong Kong. March e10.-Details of
the earthquake disaster al Swallow,
February II. published in the China
Mail indicated that almost every
house in the Chinese quarter of the
town was demolished and that the
European district suffered SO badly
that 1t will probably be necessary to
rebuild most if not all the houses.
The first shock was felt at about 2
p. m. This seems to have prepared
the buildings for their final and COM
plete collapse. The second shock at
about 1890 p. m. brought the build
inGs tumbling about the inhabitants
ears. Between the two minor shocks
were continual and it was only due to
many of the inhabitants deserving
their houses that the casualties were
not greater.
! The Customs house collapsed. the
Dutch consulate was rendered unin.
habitable and the Dutch consul and
his family took refuge in sheds on
their lawn. A Chinese theater full Of
soldiers and others collapsed without
warning. 1t is said that not a single
soul escaped, including the players.
Whole streets Of houses were wrecked
and the scene in the Chinese quarter
is n of absolute devastation.
Many persons assert that during the
first shock. streams of boiling water
and jets of steam issued from the
earth. An informant states that he
walked through masses of debris
which was once the streets of the Ia
tive quarter and saw bodies Of the
dead in heaps of rubble. The Japan
csc Red Cross society of Swallow rem
dered valuable assistance. Tenn
porary hospitals have been erected to
accommodate the wounded. Many
hundreds of perSons are homeless.
No deaths of Europeans have been
reported. Most foreigners left their
houses and took refuge in the ships.
An instance of the severity of the
disturbance is that a ship, 80 miles to
sea off Annoy felt the shock distinctly.
1t is believed that Annoy suffered as
much as if not more than Swatow.>

Why the Easy Rolling Franklin
is Outsel]ing all Other Fine Cars

It has been said that "A striking picture IS better
than a thousand words"
: Heretis d picture that is better than a whole
dictionary inenabling you to get at a glance the fact
that the Franklin Car is easy to move-and hence,
requires less fuel to move it.
This is an actual picture of the little daughter of
W.. J. Doughty of Detroit, pulling a. Franklin Touring
Car several, blocks on a level stretch with her skipping
rope. to show why the Franklin goes farthest on a
gallon of gasoline. y
The whole secret is in Franklin Easy-Rolling-
one, big, fundamental reason behind the fact that sales of
Franklin Scientific Light Weight Cats increased last year
1850, against the 1910 increase of all other fine cars.
Easy-Roling means mininized friction-and
move a car. The Franklin is scientifically free from
excess friction, drag and weight; it converts into sheer
driving energy every ounce of power that the heavy
car wastes in dragging $500 pounds unnecessary
weight.
