STANDARD MOTOR JOINS FRANKLIN Franklin, Westcott and Nelson Sales All Handled By
 One Firm

The Franklin Motor Car Company is now settled in it's new home at the cor ner of Avenue E ard Twenty-first street. When the move was made from their old place of business at 209 South Twen- ty-first street, the Standard Motor Com pany and tho Franklin Motor Car Com piny were consolidated and the entire business will be operated under the one firm name now.
 The Staldard q .Motor Company for the past eight months was located at 2oy South Twenty first street and was the loca! distributor for the Westcott and the Nelson. The Franklin Motor Car Company was organized some four months. ago for the purpose of handling the Franklin car. It's temporary quar- ters were on Avenue C. near Twenty second street, and later it moved into the same building with the Standard.
 w. Arthur Burgin and c. E. Knapp are the principal stockholders in the two companies and finding it rather cum bersom to operate the two separately decided upon a consolidation when ths new Franklin building was ready fol occupancy.

Houston, Tex, September 11.-There are many things that have helped to make America great and bring this na- ton to the forefront alEons the na- tons of the world. One of them has been the large number of self-made men that have helped to upbuild the country and bring it to .ts present greatness and business prosperity.
 The country is full of men whe have made their mark in the world. starting IrIncipally with sound common sense and the ability to gtt ;here. There is no one part of the coIntry that holds mortgage on brains. TeNa s@has fur nlshed her share O. brainy men who have made and are mak.Hr their mark ir the world.

One of the newer residents of this city, not nAEtN" son, but man who is making decided depression on all with whom .le comes in contact as keen, shrewd and cai 'tbe business man, is Jacques E. Blc|,,ts. president of the Southern Motor Manufacturing Association, Ltd
 Mir. Blevns is man who started on practically nothing ana by sheer force of ability and power to stick to one undertaking, has worked his way to the head of one of the largest business undertakings not only in Houston, but in Texas.
 Coming to Houston olt n few years ago, quietly looking around here and there, peering ahead into the future, Mir. Blevins saw with prophetic vision that Houston, with l.o incomparable ship channel and it's accessibility to deep water, was bodni to become a city and port of the first nagnitude.
 The inducement of free site for his business enterprise that first brought Mir Blevins to Houston caused him, after careful investigation. to locate the plant of Southern Motors here, with the result that at the present time one of the largest industries in this section of the country is in the upbu!,d- ing.
 Those who know Mir Blevins well predict for him as successful career in the automotive industry as Henry Ford has had Himself a man of more than ordinary ability and farsighted-

[ There is no question about the superb | ority of the closed cars for driving in all | kinds of weather, but the open car, with | good top improved windshield and tight fitting side curtains can to a very large degree attain the protection of the more costly closed car.
 CURTAINS PREVENT, DUST It is perfectly simple, for instance to prevent dust from floating into a closed car by closing the windows on the side from which the wind is blowing and leav- ing the windows on the other side open for ventilation. In similar manner. cur tains may be readily attached on the dusty side of an open car.
 On windy days several sections of the Side curtains may be put in place to shut out undue drafts This'would have meant in earlier years almost complete obstruc- tion to passenger vision, but today cur tains do not sacrifice vision in offering protection.
 All of these things go back to the closed car. While some motorists do not care for permanent roof, they still de- sire top that they need not lower be- cause of it's appearance or inconvenience. And the fact is. they seldom do lower it. Another reason why the average owner leaves his top in place is that he realizes the top is really a part of the body rather than a mere addition to it. Ten or fif- teen years ago. tops were anything but comedy. They were quite out of propor- tion with the rest of the car and many motorists thought that driving was more difficult with the top up. And as the top had little to do with the car, outside of protecting passengers in a storm, it was
 lowered soon as the storm was over
 MADE BETTER NOW
 The lines of the top the modern car are practically a continuation of the body lines. Both body and top are designed to go together and the development has reached such a point that many cars are considered better looking when their tops are up. The truth is that good top is the crowning feature of a handsome car and as becoming as beautiful hat to well-dressed woman.

THE HORN THAT BLEW UP

From Motor Life.
 Those who handle gasoline as a mat ter of ordinary custom are often quite oblivous to it's potential dangers. An English journal tells of a motorcyclist who removed the cover of his electric horn and flushed it out with petrol. Having replaced the cover. he started for a ride. At the first attempt to use the horn the result was startling for there was a terrific explosion and the cover crashed into the riders ribs. The horn was, of course, full of explosive mixture which was gnited by an cleo tric spark.

ONLY FOUR LOWERED

This development has been going on so gradually and the adoption of year round tops has been so steady that few people realize it is as uncommon today to see a top down as it was a few years ago to see a top up on a delightful day. Out of a hundred motor cars that passed a corner in certain large city the other day, there were only four cars with low cred tops and two of these were on cars designed for those who seek the more unusual in body styles.
 4 When one gives serious thought to this new custom, he sees that it is a very log ical thing to do People usually do the simple things eventually and leaving the top up is about the simplest and easiest thing to do with 1t.
 Present day tops have overcome the disadvantages of the old types and have at the same time assisted in giving open cars an improved appearance as well as some of the advantages of closed cars. In this light perhaps. too much credit cannot be given to closed cars in bring ing out this improvement in open cars.

In the. Old Days Top
 Was in fhe Luxury Class;
 NouU 1T Is a Necessity
Owners Who Felt Need of Top Had to Buy It Extra When He Purchased Automobile-Later
 More Thought Was Given Them

In the early days of the motor car a top was often considerable luxury and a piece of equipment that had little to do with the propulsion of the car over the streets or country roads If an owner thought he might have use for a top he could buy one from the manufacturer along with other accessories and parts that have since become standard equip nent.
 When automobiles had been developed to such a state as to lend themselves to long trips, with the attendant possibili- ties that occupants might be caught in 8 storm, manufacturers gave some thought to tops and advised the purchase of them, going so fary in some cases, as the car.
 But for many years car builders were content to provide top of about the same style and pattern as in use on bug gies and surries, which the first cars fol- lowed so closely in body designs. 2 WERE USUALLY CUMBERSOME
 Tops were usually huge. cumbersome things While they gave passengers suit able protection in storms or on hot, sum- ny days, they did not permit a clear and undisturbed vision in any direction. Nu- merous bows were in the way and the bumpy overhanging top meant an un- comfortable position for passengers in order to see what they were passing.
 It is little wonder, then. that owners kept their tops strapped down securely at the rear of the body during open weather. On the slightest sign of & storm they would stop to raise them. Consequently, there was a continual rais- ing and lowering of tops,
 Along with the development of tAe motor car came the realization of the advantages a good top would possess. Experience taught drivers how to get the most of top and the only natural thing for the manufacturer to do was to in crease it's attractiveness side by side with

To bring about the removal OF
food from storage so far as existing
laws allowed and prosecute those
engaged in boarding.
To prosecute those seeking TO
control the supplies and prices in
contravention of the Lever act.
There was for time a brisk sale
of government goods to the con-
suming public and the consuming
public benefited greatly thereby.
This practice has been discontinued
for reasons not altogether clear.
The benefit lasted only while the
sales of government goods con-
tinued, and since this was temper
airy, the benefit was likewise tenn
porary and restricted to the zones
in which the sales took place.
There seems to have been no
great energy put behind the policy
calling for removal of food from
storage, for no effects of such q
policy have been felt.
Prosecution of those seeking to
control supplies and prices in con-
travention of the Lever act has con-
stituted one of the sad comedies
of the last few months There is no
need to review the records of the
department of justice in the prose
cution of big profiteers. There is,
