FRANKLIN SHIPS
PARTS IN TRUNKS
Transportation Difficulties
Felt Severely by Industry.

Dealers in rare fineries, buying their
wares from all quarters of the world,
many times bring their purchases back
with them in trunks and cases. This
method seems entirely appropriate to
the merchandising of expensive and
often fragile laces, silks, etc. bu, II
certainly Is unusual to give such dis
junction to metal automobile parts
However, such is the case at one au
toinobile factory at least. The Frank
I'm Automobile company. manufacturers
OF the Franklin cooled car almost
every day receives trunks and suit
cases filled with parts which were
made in places many miles lrum the
frnakln factory at Syracuse, n. y.
Transportation difficulties due OF the
war, have been felt most kcenIy by
the automobile industry. and every de-
vice is used in order to get raw ma
terals and parts with regularity that
will maintain steady production of fin
ished cars.
Take for example, the manner in
which a supply Of cam shafts is main
tanned in the Franklin factory. These
shafts are made in Muskegon, Mich,
two nights and a days journey from
Syracuse. Yet. for more than month,
express shipments, twice weekly, Of
these parts have been directed by spe-
cial messengers who keep in close
touch with the packages all the way.
Because of the fact that express COM
panies have embargoes at times be-
tween certain points, these messengers
have to transfer the shipments from
one express to another wherever neces-
sary.
During the two nights and day re-
CURED for the parts to reach Syracuse.
n. Y, this constant attention gives the
messengers practically no sleep. II
these shipments We're not fostered in
such manner, "A day at least would be
lost at each transfer point, as well as
at the terminals. and interrupted pro-
dction would likely be the result.

TRUCK TRAINS CARRY
PASSENGER CARS NOW
To. RELIEVE RAILWAYS

The sight of long trains of olive drab
motor trucks leaving Detroit for the
Atlantic seaboard is rapidly becoming a
familiar sight; for it is now a daily &C.
Currence, Each truck train Is accom-
panied by smaller train of passenger
cars.
In the middle of last winter, truck
makers in Detroit began the delivery
OF war trucks over the snow covered
roads. Though the government itself
Is the purchaser of the trucks, it was
impossible to secure enough freight
cars to ship the daily scheduled pro-
duction. In spite of all the road diff
ficulties of the severest winter on rec
ord. the road delivery was successful
and has been continued. until now two
companies of soldiers drive away 60
trucks day. Six Dodge Brothers cars

destined for service overseas.
The plan Of driving the huge war
trucks overland is a success. not only
from the standpoint of getting the We
hicles to their destination regularly and
promptly, but also from the standpoint

Many Detroit factories are busy with
government contracts and the trucks
carry huge quantities of war ma terials
of all sorts on each trip to the At
lantic ports.

TO USE NEOLIN
IN ShOE-MAkINC
Synthetic Sole, Discovered
\ in Goodyear Laboratories,
Will Bring Relief in an
Unenviablc War Situation.

+, Among the economic conditions that
the war has affected Their. is none more
curious or critical than the sole leather
situation. For leather has been sta
pl. in the manufacture of soles for
footwear. but conditions within the last
few years have been constantly chang
ing.
The gradually decreasing acreage
available for cattle raising. caused
largely by the high prices of feed has
greatly cut down the supply of hides.
which in turn has permitted leather
prices to advance 10 unprecedented
figures.
And there is little hope that there
will be any immediate relief from pres
ent high prices of shoes, unless other
materials than leather are used as soles.
And il is likely that the use of such ma
terials win hardly be able to hold shoe
prices where they are today. much less
accomplish any reduction in price.
Fortunately other manufacturers
outside of the leather industry had
noted even before the war, the ex-
cessive demand for leather, and since
that time, the heavy buying OF foot
wear for our military forces and those
of our allies, and had set out to evolve
substance which would relieve the
pressure.
So when the synthetic sole. known as
NeoIin, was discovered in the laborato-
ries of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber
company at Akron, O., and announced
American shoe manufacturers imnedi-
ately sansed relief from an unenviable
situation, and recognized that this sole
would go far toward replacing leather
in shoe manufacture.
The new sole is not a Substitute"
for leather, but a material, created es
pecially to serve as shoe soles. No
matter what the leather market is after
the war, this sole will retain an impor-
tant place in shoe production.

BUYERS TEN
Commandments
The Important Points Which
Should Govern the Selec-
ton of Motor Car, Out
lined by a Local Dealer.

A motor car Is an important invest
ment," says Perry Hewitt, local Chev-
rolet dealer. And it is only fair" he
continues, that the prospective pur-
chaser be taught the essentials Of mo-
tor-car knowledge before investing his
money.
Before selecting a motor car, the
buyer should carefully consider each
Of these ten important points: /. econ
omy: 2, power and flexibility; 3, dur
ability; 1, comfort; 6, safety: 6. con-
venience: Z, ease and care: s, easy rid
ing: 3. beauty; 10, style.
1t Is not necessary to consider these
points In order as stated, although it
would be a safe plan to follow
Economy has been given preference
for the reason that it is the important
point of the hour. Buy car having an
economical record. one that will give
you maximum amount of mileage for
each gallon Of gasoline. This. Is gov
erned by type Of motor, bearings, lubri-
cation. and weight.
'The next important essential to
watch for Is power. You want power in
an automobile. You want to be able to
go anywhere. You do not want to feel
any limitations in this respect.
Durability is something we all seek
in making a purchase. 1t is especially
important when one considers the
amount involved. This item depends
on the integrity of the maker, his
honesty. his ideals, his standards. a
good way to judge this is to notice the
number of cars of any particular make
in USE. This is, as a rule, good guide
to follow.
COnveniences and comforts are i'm
portant. too. Buy a car that gives you
the little things that make motoring en-
joyable and free from care. Select your
motor. car with this knowledge and
without mistakes
Owing to the enormous local demand
for car of this character, Mr. Hewitt
has decided to handle and sSl Chev-
rolets exclusively and has relinquishcd
all other motor-car agencies.
The Chevrolet car, together with the
Republic truck, will in future receive
the entire time and attention of Hew-
tits garage.

Unnecessary Taxation VIII
be Distinct impeachment,
Says u. S. Official.

Bismarck. N. D., April 4.-Secre-.
tary w, G. McAdoo. director general
of the railroads of the United States,
has written Governor Frazier, asking
that the tax burden on the railways
be made as light as possible during
the period Of government control.
Secretary McAdoo's letter reads as
follows:
Il write to ask your cooperation
and the cooperation of all depart
ments OF the governments .,of your
state, and Of all subdivisions OF the,
state to see that in the imposition Of
taxes and in the assessment of prop
erty for taxation, most careful on
sideration shall be given to the fact
that all state. county and city taxes
lawfully and reasonably imposed up
on railways will be borne by the gov
eminent of the United States during
the period of federal control of the
railways; and therefore to see that
the tax burden on the railways be as
light as is consistent with the neces-
sites of your state and its subdivisions
In this respect an entirely new condi-
ton exists. Heretofore railway taxes
have been padi entirely by private
owners Of the railways. but now their
taxes will be paid by the government
of the United States because the rail-
ways have been taken over by the
government as q war measure and in
order to insure the better conduct of
war operations. Manifestly. in such
circumstances. the imposition of .un-
necessary state and local taxations on
the railways will be a distinct impede
lnent to the carrying on Of the war
and an added burden upon the gov
eminent.
Because of the war conditions. 1t
has become apparent that every UNI
necessary absorption of money, ma
terial and labor should be avoided to
the end that money. material and
labor shall he applied to those things
which are needed to carry the war to
a successful conclusion. This applies
to governmental activities as we'll as
private activities and I earnestly hope
that the government Of the United
States will have the full cooperation
of. your state and all Subdivisions. in
avoiding; all public expenditures
which are not absolutely necessary
This will incidentally make the wal
tax burden less than it would other
wise besbut principally it will save for
necessary war purposes. great
amounts of money, material and labor
sore'y needed for those purposes"
