ENCLOSED CARS BECOMING POPULAR Sedan Proves FavOrite. Is An All-SeasOns
 Model

One of the most noteworthy features of automobile buying this season is the greatly increased interest that is being shown in enclosed cars, particularly the sedan type
 The Franklin Automobile company which has been pioneer in enclosed car manufacture, gives some very iIluminat- ing figures concerning the tremendous increase in sedan sales during the past four years; 8 times as many being sold during the first eight months of the 1s17- IS season as during the entire fiscal year of 1913-14 Franklin Sedan sales so far this year already equal the total sedan production of last year.
 The shipping records of Franklin cars to dealers Tn 2S cities throughout the United States from September 1, 1917 to April 25, 1918, show that an average of 26 1-3 per cent have been Sedans. In five cities in Ohio practically one-third of the business of Franklin dealers has been in Sedans.
 Walt Mason, the famous author of ''Rip- bling Rhymes" recently introduced his new Franklin Sedan as car that is mo drunkard on gasoline" My Franklin, he says, rolls along so easily, it doesn't seem to care whether it has gasoline or not"

B|G SIX STUDEbAKER
 ALMOST ENTIRELY REDES|GNED FOR 1913
Transmission Gears Moved Next to Motor-Exterior Finish Is Wonderful
 Improvement

''The public has probably never be- fore known a motor car, selling for less than $s00e, so beautiful in de- mechanically right, as the new series 19 Big Six studebaker, which has been announced to the public at $16s5, f. 0. b. Detroit" said Robert D. Max we'll. of the Robert D. Maxwell com pany. Studebaker distributors.
 After having looked the new Big Six over carefully. you are compelled to revise your standards of motor values"
 Some of the well-known Studebaker features of design have been kept ment which consists of Studebaker- Wagner starting motor and generator, Remy coil and distributor and the Will lard storage battery. The Big Six motor is by far the most powerful of the three new Studebaker motors, with it's 3 7s finch bore by 5-inch stroke. Most important of all have been the changes in the gasoline system.
 The intake manifold has been des- ignated on the hot-spot principle. The hot-Spot consists of a jacket com pletely surrounding the intake mani fold right above the carburetor and into which a constant flow of hot ex- haust gas passes. In this way par ticles of gasoline have no chance of getting into the cylinders unvapor- ized. The carburetor used is the Ball & Ball.
 GEAR BOX MOVED
 transmission gears are now located drectly behind the motor and clutch. It is a separate unit. Between the transmission and clutch is d double flexible coupling made of Thermoid ma terial. This Thermoid coupling is found only on the highest price cars. but adds flexibility, protects the transmission from frame weavings, sudden power impulses and abusive use of the clutch, in fact, it smooths out the riding quali- ties of the car. Both transmission and the rear end of the motor are sup ported on sub-frame, which is really a new type of construction for Ameri- can made cars. A somewhat similar type and design has been successful ly used by European manufacturers.

UNCERTAINTIES POOL EARNINGS OF HALF HOUR PER WEEK FOR
 WAR RELIEF FUND
Racine County Plan Brought to Light When Third Liberty Loan Is Oversubscribed Over One
 Hundred Per Cent

On top of the news that Racine, Wis, home of the Mitchell Motors company, Inc. has oversubscribed it's Liberty Loan quota by more than 100 per cent, comes word that the city has made an envia- ble record in its combined subscriptions to all war relief funds in what is known as the Racine county plan.
 Under this plan all subscriptions for the various war relief movements are pooled in general fund from which pro- rata disbursements are made, Every wage-earner devotes the earnings of one- half hour a week to this fund for the duration of the war. Salaried workers subscribe percentage of their earnings, depending on the amount earned. Elm ployers likewise subscribe amounts de- pending upon the subscription. of their employees.
 In commenting on the results of the Racine county plan campaign at the Mitchell plant. President D. c Durland said:
 ALL SUBSCRIBE
 .It is matter of intense qualification to know that every single empioye in this large plant has subscribed his full quota under the Racine county plan. Of the thousands of people in our employ, not one-man, woman or boy-failed to cheer fully return his subscription card with his pledge to support all war relief work through this plan for the. duration of the war.
 This unity of thought and action on the part of all employees of so large an or ganization as the Mitchell Motors company Qnc) indicates an organization spirit which is invaluable. The product can never be better than the organiza- ticn behind it and this action reflects the quality of our people and of the motor cars they build.
 The companys share in the subscrip- tion is not a small one. It is worth making in any case but We are especially glad to make it in cooperation with our employees in this way. because the cam paign has brought us and will hold us in closer harmony and co-partnership than ever before.

principle. MT. SperryS sister ana Ills business associate, T. A. Morgan, are also recent purchasers of Franklin cars It has none of the disadvantages or a heavy inaccessible bell housing and in addition it has the added advantages of the flexibility introduced by the double Thermoid coupling. The trans mission gears are of chrome nickel steel, double heat treated and there are four Timken bearings supporting the main shaft. The shifting lever is mounted directly on the transmission cover There are no long gear shift ing rods to work loose and become noisy, in fact the gears are shifted easily and noiselessly.
 SPICER UNIVERSAL
 "Spicer universal joints, the highest type known, are used on each end of the propeller shaft. The final drive to the rear axle is through spiral bevel gears, cut from chrome e-nickel steel and supported on two adjust able Timken bearings. The rear axle is an improved semi-floating type. The axle housing is made of pressed steel in two parts welded together. 1t is reinforced at each end by heavy steel tube and the axle shafts are unusually large and of chrome e-vanad- ium steel Large Timken bearings at the outer ends near where the wheels are keyed to the axle shafts carry the weight of the car and there are Tim ken bearings on each side of the diff ferential.
 There are no radius rods or torque arms. Springs are semi-elliptic, un- derslung in the rear and made of the best quality of vanadium spring steel The rear springs are 56 inches by and the front springs 3Sx2.
 "Oil cups take the place of grease cups at most every point of the chassis The only places where grease cups have been retained are at inaccessible points, and in these eases extra large cups are used so that fabrication is provided for a long while. Although this car has 126-inch wheel base, seats seven passengers and has a 3A inch by 5-inch cylinder motor, it's total weight is only 30S0 pounds.

On December %, 1910, Humperdinck's
"konlgskinder" had its first perform
ance on any stage at the Metropolitan
Opera House under the direction of AL
fred Hertz and the supervision Of the
composer.
Though the performance was what
the Germans would call an Urauffiihr-
ung, there were few elements of novel
ty in this opera. New Workers had
known it, or known of it, for twelve
years as spoken play, with incidental
music. and it's overture and two or
chestral interludes had figured in their
concert rooms for about the same
length of time. 1t was so near an opera
in spirit and the musical investiture
which Humperdinck had given it, how
ever, that its complete translation was
inevitable, and after Herr Humperdnck
had visited New York to witness the
triumph Of "Hanse und Gretel' he
gladly accepted commission to make
the operate version and give the right
of first performance to the Metropoli-
tan companion. 1t was Mr.. Dippels
plan that the opera should first be
performed in an English version, but
