How Big Should the Gasoline Tank Be?

With one flling-270 miles to go-how
big should the Gasoline Tank of Car be?
Your answer to the above question would
undoubtedly be: "it depends on how much
gasoline car needs"
Exactly.
The Franklin Car (on the left scientific
ally free from unnecessary weight, runs 27O
miles on its gasoline tank capacity of 1872
gallons, at the rate of 20 miles to the gallon.
The average heavy car ION the right to
run the same distance would require a
cumbersome gasoline tank of 27 gallons at
the rate of ten miles to the gallon.
Why?
Simply because of the mechanical law
asold as the ages-that weight requires power
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1918-04-03

in proportion to move it. And the more power
needed, the more gasoline consumed. Wher-
ever there is excessive weight, there is friction,
wear and drag and it always shows up
in the gasoline tank.
The heavy car is bound to burn up fuel
dragging around its own excessive weight.
The Scientific Light Weight Franklin, with its
balanced, flexible construction, uses fuel to deliv-
er power to the rear wheels in driving force.

These are acid-test times for product
of any kind. A motor car, merely to justify
its existence, must prove that it is not waste
ful or extravagant.

Tire MILEAGE!

33x4a inch cord tires on all Franklin types
assures astonishing mileage. Larger tires
mean even greater tire reliability which on
Franklin Cars always was remarkable.

New Compact Fire Escape.

One of the boys aboard our navy's
feet has invented a fire escape which
is similar to the rope ladders used
aboard ships. His principal object was
to provide collapsible fire escape
which could be compacted and con-
venlently arranged at the window Of n
dwelling. It consists Of a cOntainer
hinged to the sill in such manner
that by opening the window and fold
ing the container on its hinges the
metal ladder may be unfolded and
dropped. When this operation is gone
through, means Is automatically pro-
vided whereby the ladder Is held at a
distance from the walls Of the build
ing. The advantage Of such precaution
