Gas And
Mileage Record
With Franklin

J. A. Clifton, sales manager OF
the Franklin Motor Car company, on
Friday afternoon hung up a new gas
and mileage record as a target for
III Paso dealers in cars, or dealers
anywhere. for that matter. Expert
menting with the mileage obtainable
from one pint Of ordinary gasoline,
the Franklin Six touring car used in
the trip averaged 3.5 miles on the
first trial pint and 3.6 on the sec
ond pint This makes the average
miles per gallon OF gasoline Isl
The car was fitted with bottle
carburetor, so that not one drop OF
gas from the supply tank reached the
carburetor. The car then was drained
Of its gasoline and forced to draw Its
supply from the bottle tank only
During the first TRAP the car was
driven By Frank Wittram and during
the second by E S. Thomas, both en-
ployes OF The FL Paso Herald The
drive was made on streets where
ordinary traffic caused the usual
slowing OF the car and at no time
was the car allowed to speed or
coast. The average speed was ~
miles an hour. A lean mixture OF
gas was used. but Notwithstanding
the car did not pitch or buck. AZ
no time during the experiment did

The Thrift Of a
M A X W E. L L
comes from its special steels

Nearly 400, 900 owners know
well how thrifty a Maxwell
really is.
Men in the trade in selling
other cars often use the express
sion Gas thrifty as a Maxwell.F
Special steels are the under
lying cause of Msxwen's thrift.
These are steels, made to
Maxwel's own formulate, after
years of tests, analysis and study,
which make possible the ideal
construction of great strength
and light weight.
They give a Maxwell the
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1920-06-12

ability to stand wear, strain,
twists and jOlts that other cars
much larger and heavier would
have difficulty to resist.
But they make a Maxwell
light. They eliminate useless
weight; they ease the burden
on the engine and thus gas, oil
and tires render long mileage
results.
Hence, the ever growing re-
spect and admiration for
Maxwell the world over; and
its consequent fast growing
numbers. Nearly 100000 in
use today; a yearhence 100000.

Regarding one topic, all members oi Congress are preparing to return tc Washington with one accord. They in tend to raise their own salaries from s7,5oO to s10,O0O
 When Congress. prior to. during and after the war was called upon to in- crease the salaries of all other employees of the government. it responded in knowledge that with the increased cost of living, demanded increased remuner. ation. At the same time, Congress real ized that its own salary had not been increased. and that il should be- Con- gross, however. acted in favor of others with mental reservation. It deter mined to increase it's own just as soon as possible.
 For Congress at that time could not boost its own salary. The national cleo tion impended But with the election a thing of the yesterday, Congress may now proceed in relative safety.
 Of course, there will be a few who will hold back, argue and vote against increasing their own pay. But this will be well understood They will do so in knowledge that a majority will proceed to do that which everyone would have done.
 There are a few members each ses- sion, incidentally, who offer bills abol- ishing the franking privilege, the mile age. and the garden seed' peruuisites which congressman enjoy and which they would not see abolished. But they are not taken seriously
