MILITARY AIDED
BY AUTOMOBILES
Real Significance of Motorcar in
Transportation Problems
of Present Day.
SOLDIERS MUST Be CARRIED
Food and Other Necessities Must BE
Transported to Them Without De-
lay-Conservation of Gasoline
Is Important.

III. 81. Franklin, president of large
automobile concern, in a recent adj
dress before large number of auto
mobile dealers and owners, pointed out
the real significance of the motor car
In the transportation problems of to-
day.
america is at war now in the full
est sense" stated Mr.. Franklin, "and
under such conditions come natural
transportation difficulties incident to
efficient military operations. Not only
must millions of troops be transported
from place to place, but food and other
necessities must also be carried to
them without delay.
War Needs Are Primary.
military needs, absolutely and prop
erly, must have preference, and with
the railroads taxed to their limits man.
ufacturers must find some other means
of forming a regular and satisfactory
contact between themselves and their
public.
"This problem Is already finding an
swer in the use of automobiles and
motor trucks. Not only are regularly
scheduled automobile express lines be-
ing opened up between different cities
throughout the East, but manufacture
ers are finding it advisable to furnish
their statesmen with automobiles in Or
der that they may not be dependent
upon unsatisfactory train service.
"The results in all cases where motor
vehicles are being tried seem highly
even after the war is over and condi-
tons have again become normal, that
greater appreciation will be had Of the
desirability Of automobile transporta-
ton.
Driveway Satisfactory.
"For example, the war has brought
about with our firm the necessity for
insisting that dealers in adjacent ter
ritory, or even territory within several
hundred miles, come to the factory and
drive what cars they order home them
selves instead of having them shipped.
This has proved very satisfactory, and,
as even under normal conditions, sew
eral days could be saved, it is quite
likely to be continued right along.
"Anotier important outcome of the
war is the greater consideration auto
mobile owners are giving to the gaso-
line their cars consume for each mile
they nre run. In the past little thought
has been given to this question, but
now, with our double need for gaso-
line, the issue must be faced.
'War requirements alone are over
100000 gallons of gasoline per day,
and, as the total daily production in
the United States is but 6,849000 gal
Ions, tie greatest conservation is neces-
sary in order that shortage may not
occur"

AUTO HELPS TRADE BALANCE
Motor Vehicles Require Little Cargo
Space In Shipping in Proportion
to Their Value.

Importance of maintaining trade RE-
lations in motor vehicles with foreign
dealers was considered at recen}
meeting of the export committee oil
the National Automobile Chamber OF
Commerce. Motor vehicles require lit
tie cargo space in proportion to theil
value and serve to maintain the trad{

the simple but swagger little coat
shown in the picture, need not fear
comparison with coats of more costly
goods-it has some points of advantage
over them. 1t is made of summer fan
mel in any of the gay bright colors and
touched up with white in pearl buttons,
pique collar and arrowhead finish of
pockets.
Just the skirt for this coat is shown
with 1t. 1t is of heavy white pique
and faStens at the middle of the front
where row of white pearl buttons fin
ishes the oyerlapped seam. There
are any number of sport hats that win
top off this practical and pretty out
fit. But its youthful wearer has chosen
tam of white corduroy, one of
the blue devil' models that embodies
much dash. Its long tassel matches
the coat in color. Where something
more dignified is needed, for an older
woman, one of the coconut braids in
white embroidered with yarn or silk
flowers against the crown, would make
q good choice, and there is the perennial
Panama with handsome band or scarf
