Arnold SpeiIberg Says Big
Problem viii be Secur-
ing Show Cars.

Judging from the number OF
Franklin cars Oh the streets in South
Bend and surrounding cities. the
Franklin exhibit at the show Is as
sured a capacity crowd even n
Franklin owners alone view the car.
But because OF the favorable COM
ment on all sides regarding the light
weight, economical car, there IS sure
20 be interested spectators drawn
from the ranks Of motor car owners
and prospective drivers.
Thrift In manufacture, initial cost
and upkeep has always been the
guiding policy of the Franklin Auto
mobile Co Their car has gone
through a period Of betterment and
perfection with few radical changes
during the long period OF time they
have been engaged in the manufac-
ture OF cars, and the result is a world
wide reputation for building an au-
tomobile that is standard in every
respect.
Franklin engineers declare that
with all the agitation in favor Of
standard motor cars and parts, there
has never yet been a standard estab-
lished for gasoline mileage and tire
mileage IL is their belief and con-
tention that light weight and correct
principles Of construction at once
prolOng the life OF the car and insure
a greater economy OF operation. The
company engineers are not alone IN
this contention, as hundreds Of
Franklin drivers also attest 70 the
soundness OF the principle.
Just what models Will be in the
Franklin booths is somewhat of a
problem. Arnold Speilberg Of the
Franklin Motor Car Co. Franklin
distributors in this territory. declares
there are no show cars at present
available owing 10 the fact that de-
liveries are at present considerably
behind orders. I'VE are heartily IN
favor Of the outdoor show however,
and in justice TO the many Franklin
owners and the hundreds OF people
who are interested in the car. we
will have at least two models on dis
play Thursday" declared Mr.. Spell
berg.

their needs. particularly for ambu-
lance service at the front. When Il
came time to adopt a standard
seven-passenger car, the certainty
Of the government In its selection
of the Cadillac was due directly TO
the outcome Of a competitive motor
test held az Maria. Tex, In July,
1917. Under the observation Of u.
S. army officers, a 2,00O-mile run
under the most severe conditions
brought honors TO the Cadillac. In
addition to this, the Cadillac COM
pleted a 5,000-mile test under SINH
lar circumstances in excellent shape.
That the car maintained its repu-
tation previously made IS shown by
only one OF the tasks il performed
overseas. A number OF Cadillac
cars were used to relieve the railroad
on a French mail route out OF Paris.
The runs varied from $50 TO 200
miles in length. These cars effec-
lively demonstrated their endurance
in making the runs day after day
and month after month, averaging
SO miles per hour.
The cars used by the army are

cars except that they are painted
olive drab and carry auxiliary fuel
tanks on the running boards. A

ALBANY, March 11.-Senator j. Henry
Walters's new bill permitting sale of 8
pei cent. beer went into the discard to-
day when it became evident thdt the
vets want legislation permitting sa-
loon and hotel licenses or none at all.
AS a result New York State will be
left in the bone dry column it is pre-
d!cted.
There is a decided tendency in the
Legislature fostered by the vets, to
permit the Legislature to adjourn with
out passing any prohibition enforce
ment measure, leaving the entire prop
osition up to Congress.
The drys. however, do not believe
this movement will be successful.
The Republican leaders-Senato- Wal
ters in the Senate and Speaker Thad-
deus c. Sweet of the Assembly-refused
to say anything to-day on the prphibi-
tlon enforcement question or the per
cent bill. The Senator declared that he
wanted TO let sentiment simmer for
n while before determining what he will
DO. Speaker Sweet thought the matter
probably would come up at conference
of the Republicans. The Speaker. how
ever. would not even discuss the 3 per
cent. bill, as 1t is not before the Assem-
bly, and may not be introduced there.
Minority Leader Charles D. Donohue
of the Assembly has not decided what
to do in regard to the per cent meas
ure. 1t Is probable that there will be
several conferences on the wisdom of
passing the per cent. bill and having
the courts rule 1t complies with the con-
sutution or taking a chance on n>passing
bill permitting beer with higher per-
centage of alcohol and having the courts
declare It unconstitutional.
Assemblyman Clarence +. Welch of
Albany, who introduced the bill permit
ting the sale of beer and light wines
containing up to 10 per cent of alcohol,
says he will not support the Walters bill,
and knows at least u dozen other Repub-
ncan Assemblymen who will stand with
him.
William II. Anderson, State Superin-
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League, said
that in backing the per cent bill Sena-
tor Walters is trying to nulllfy the new
constitutional amendment and thereby
violating his oath as a legislator and a
lawyer, and that the measure "is an
attempt to save the German brewers"
Mr.. Anderson said that most OF the
"disorderly radicals who are creating
trouble in this country and seeking to
reproduce the "unspeakable conditions"
OF tho Russian revolution are more or
less crazy, but Senator Walters knows
what he is doing"
ITO call this bill an enforcement meas

BERLIN, March 10 tdelayod) The
Spartacans are reported resorting 70
inhuman brutalities in the latest fight
ing. They have armed all criminals,
even homicidal maniacs, burglars, foot

deserters, who in the later stages OF the
war were hiding in the forests near
Berlin. The police estimate puts this
