NEW TIRE RECORD
SET BY FRANKLIN
Average Is 14,500 Miles to Set
on This Light Weight
Car.

Smashing it's best previous national
tire record by moro than $500 miles,
or nearly so per cent. ana practically
doubling the best existing figures avail
able for other makes. the Franklin car
has Just captured another national rec
ord for economy. Figures proving a
new average tire mileage OF more than
14.50o miles to every set have been
disclosed In the countrywide investiga-
ton of tire facts conducted by the
Franklin Automobile Company Of SYRIA
cuse, said yesterday Glenn A. Tisdale.
1880 Broadway, New York. distributor
OF Franklin cars.
Results are based entirely on figures
submitted by owners and are the out
come Of great mass OF data, with
the elimination of all special cases not
backed up by the actual speedometer
readings of the owners and drivers of
the cars.
More than two years was required
for the completion of the mileage re-
ports. 1t is significant that the series
nine Franklin, on which the investiga-
tion was based. was frst put out in the
fall Of 1915, and in nearly every case
the original tires lasted through the
was used. So great was the life of the
tires that despite the lapse of two full
seasons of use many owners were un-
able to report a complete mileage for
their cars and instead submitted figures
showing what mileage the tires had run
to tho date of the Investigation.
Several scattered reports to the
Franklin offices during the compilation
OF the records show that certain tires
have been used far In excess Of 10000
miles, but as these reports in nearly
every case were submitted by individual
tire dealers and not by the owners
themselves. the figures were not included
In the national average.
The figures covered every type of
Franklin of the present series. both
open and enclosed. Every section Of
the country was represented and inter-
esting facts of climatic and geographic
conditions and their effect on tires also
were obtained.
Less than per cent. OF the tires
were discarded because they were worn
out. Many of the tires exceeded the
10000 mile mark. and better than 10
per cent covered $4,000 miles and were
still In use on the cars.

TIRE EXPERT GIVES HINTS.
Tells Motorists to Initiate lacked
Up Tire to Full Pressure.


1t is customary among automobilists
when they pump air into q wheel which
Is lacked UP not to pump UP to the re-
CURED pressure. but to allow q few
pounds for the weight which will come
on the tire when the jack IL removed.
This is bad practice. says an expert
from the United States Tire Company's
laboratories. for careful experiments
show that the weight Of the car on the
tire does not add even a fraction OF a
pound to the air pressure inside a tire.
Consequently tho United States Tire
Company advises motorists to initiate
their tires to the recommended pressure,
whether the wheel is lacked up or not.
While on the subject OF imitation, mo-
florists should again be warned that the
notion which has gained wide belief
among automobilists that the heat Of q
summer day expands the air inside q
tire to such an extent that the tires do
not need to be blown up to the same
point as in winter is an utter fallacy.
Experiments show that II takes terrific
driving for a considerable period in such
a race as that at the Indianapolis speed
way to generate enough heat to raise the
air pressure in a tire Ave or six pounds.
The expansion In a car driven at an or
binary rate on hot summer day Is 30
slight that no allowance should be made
Tor 1t when the tire Is pumped up.

KEYSTONE GUARANTEE RAISED
Now 5000 Miles Instead of 1000,
as Heretofore.

Important announcement made by
the Keystone Tire and Rubber Com
pany:
Keystone tires will hereafter DO I'M
quallhedly guaranteed for 5000 miles.
This larger guarantee is now given in
lieu of the former guarantee Of 1000
miles. which has proved entirely made
quate according to all records OF the
mileage given by these famous tires.
The tires themselves have been
changed in no way whatever. but the
former guarantee was SO low In COM
rarison with the actual mileage of the
tires that in raising the guarantee to
5000 miles we are only doing justice
to me performance Of the tire.
Considering the extremely low prices
at which Keystone tires are sold, II was
not until now deemed advisable to raise
the guarantee. Six thousand miles is by
no means an excessive guarantee for
Keystone tires and II Is expected
that there will be only a
very slight increase In the per-
centage of adjustments on the basis OF
the new guarantee as the real mileage
OF these tires Is greatly in excess Of
5000 miles as proven by actual tests.

He attributed much OF the success of
the running to the use OF Globe tires,
which during the entire month did not
once call for a road stop. In talking
to President ]. D. Linerd Of the Globe
company this motorist said that one of
the tires has already travelled $4,000
miles, which is perhaps one of the most
remarkable tire records made. The

To the County Chiarmen, and Treas
4 urers, United War Work Campaign
Fund, throughout the State of
South Carolina.
Gentlemen:
You will possibly be interested to
be advised that there will be a reoson-
able explanation expected by National
Headquarters on those pledges which
are not paid throughout your terri
tory.
For your information am quoting
herewith a letter from Department
Headquarters, which reads in part as
follows:
"Mr. Cecil S. Ashdown, Comptroller,
writes us urging that we pass the
word to the County Officials and Com
mittees responsible for the collection
of the United War Work Fund
pledges, that all records pertaining to
subscriptions and collections be care
fully preserved, in order that the con-
gressional Investigation would find us
ready as leaders of the Campaign in
the several counties in this State to
account for the amount subscribed, the
amount paid, and give reasonable
explanation why any portion of the
pledges are not paid"
This Office has not received word to
ask for this detailed information, but
we thought perhaps you would be in
terested to know that ahis would pos
sibly be called for, and it might be
we'll to advise the parties who have
not paid their pledges that you deem
it best for them to pay.
1t is very necessary that every dol
lar subscribed be collected, if possible,
as these funds are very urgently need
ed, and for this reason National Head
quarters will desire the names and the
reason for the non-payment of any
pledge made to this fund
Yours very truly,
State Director of Collections.

English had been succeeded as super
intendent of the Missouri state sana-
