Heavy Weight Pounds Out Tires


1t is excess weight that prevents the
average heavy and rigid car from equaling the
pubHeJ-knoem Franklin tire mileage. The action
of the weight of an automobile on its tires is
similar to hammer blow-and the heavierthe
hammer, the harder and more destructive the
blow. Heavy weight pounds out tires prema-
turely. And the heavy car owner, accustomed
to paying for tire mileage he doesn't get, accepts
it part ofthe game-untilh he meetsa Franklin
owner.
For Franklin ooVners in every part efMe
country, get a consistent dsAvery Of
10000 miles and more to the set Of tires.
The reason lies in the sixteen-year old
Franklin principle of Scientific Light Weight
and Flexible Construction. -- The Franklin

GAS LEAKAGE IS

Liquid Going Into Crank Case Di.
lutes Lubricating Oil Within
Very Short Period.
KNOWLEDGE OF LUBRICATIOA
Motorists Can Avoid Trouble oy Use
of Good Motor Oil-Need Be no
Fear of Deterioration ii Oil
Is Changed Frequently.

II am not at all anxious that mo-
torists should consider me a cranE
or calamity howler," said Max Hag
elstine, who has attracted considerable
attention through the country by his
frequent pertinent tips to automobile
owners, "but l certainly do want
folks to know more about their cars
and the proper care of them.
II believe motorists cannot know
too much about fabrication and lu'
bricating oils. Lack of knowledge
means loss of pleasure, loss Of time
and Oftentimes, considerable loss OF
money. And there is one underlying
phase of the subject which is often
overlooked by motorists and yet which
is the base of many lubricating trou-
bles. l refer to what is commonly
known as gasoline leakage
Cause of Leakage.
"Gasoline leakage is generally
caused by a certain amount of mix
ture which is not burned and finds its
way into the crank case, diluting the
oil and destroying it's lubricating quail
ties from 10 per cent to 80 per cent in
from two weeks to months time, de-
pending upon weather conditions. This
means that on the compression stroke
some of the gaseous mixture from the
combustion chamber leaks past the
piston rings and condenses in the
crank case. This action Is due to the
fact that the oil does not perfectly
seal the space between the cylinder
walls and the piston rings. In some
instances this leakage has been so
marked that Oil taken from a crank
case, due to the large amount Of gaso-
line present, exploded when touched
with match.
"Of course it Is obvious that gaso-
line is not good lubricant. And it
does not take much speculation to de-
termine what will happen to motor
If no steps are taken to prevent the
gasoline from leaking into the crank
