We are fortunate in securing some

Sterling Floyd. 10 years ago came

He started with all the ambition a
man could have to succeed. He stuck
to plain facts. gave every motor car
ownAr service and made every business

Today he Is interested in one OF the

ice rendered by Hogan & White. to

MOTORISTS PROTECTIVE ASSO-
CITATION

To handle just such similar cases the
motorists in many cities have gotten to-
gether and organized a Motorists Pro-
tective association" a sort of go-between
for the complainant and the erring
driver. The plan of the club is simple
and effective, working on something
like the following order:
The membership fee is exceedingly
small, decreasing with the increase in
membership, as the actual operating ex-
penses only are collected. A good law
firm Is retained by the club. Whenever
a member witnesses violation of any
traffic laws a report is made to the
club
A letter or call of warning is made to
the offender who is located by his license
number. II he wants to be good fell
low and take tip he has profited well,
whether member or non-member. II his
mind is already so crowded that 1t Is
incapable of absorbing a hint and the
offense is repeated he is given an OPP
porutnity to learn the correct manner
in which to say, Good morning, judge
CLUB PROSECUTES
All Of which is done without the ap-
pearance in any manner of the complain
ant 1t is all handled in an impersonal
manner by the club without either fear OF
malice, and is really much more effec-
tive than those kicks registered by in
dividuals.
There seems no reason why this could
not be handled through the Auto club
at the slight expense of a nextra as
sistant. Without doubt something must
be done, and as has already been said
without the addition of many men to
the police force there is very little chance
to catch the offenders.

and owners of cars to combat this evil
of reckless driving, open cut-outs and

New Record For

Annual Yosemite Run
1919 Ton Miles to the Gallon of
Gasoline Scored by the
Franklin Car
Wins Three First Prizes in Event
Testing Economy from
Every Angle

The last remaining automobile
economy run of national importance
has been the yosemite Run" from
Los Angeles to Camp Curry, Yosem-
lite, conducted by the Automobile
Club of Southern California under
official A. A. A. supervision. Cars
of many different types, makes,
weights and prices were entered.
The distance is 374.5 miles over
the steep slopes Of the Sierra Noun
tains. A profile of the route pre-
sents a saw-tooth effect, ranging
from sea-level up to $500 feet, includ-
ing long, firing grades as we'll as
sharp rises. No better route could
be selected to test car efficiency and
reliability from every angle-econ-
omy, power, cooling and comfort.
And no better demonstration of
the correctness of the Franklin
principles ofair cooling, light weight
and flexibility could be desired than
the results recorded. Even though
arating of "ton-miles" was devised
to remove all handicaps of weight,
the Franklin took both prizes for
which all cars were eligible, in
addition to the prize in its own class.
