New Franklin
Here; Style Of
HoodChanged

The Marion Automobile Com
pany has received the new suyIe
Franklin, which is now on exhibit
in their show room and they ex-
tend an invitation to the public
to call andinspect it.
The Franklin is rapidly increas-
ing In popularity as nearly as
many new Franklins were bought
during the past thre as during
the previous si&teen years.
1t has not been the policy of the
Franklin Automobile Company to
make any radical yearly changes
in their car, as is customary with
other manufacturers of auto
mobiles. On the contrary, they
have adhered to policy of sim.
plicity, economy and comfort, and
have worked along these lines,
with now and then minor
change or refinement.
This year, however, a new
style hood has been adopted re-
placing the former sloping type,
which gives the car a more con-
appearance without los
ing its distinctiveness. With this
exception, the present car is about
the same as last years, there
being practically no mechanical
changes whatsoever. However,
the adoption Of this new hood VIII
eliminate some obJec-
tions or prejudices regarding the
Franklin car.

Safety To
Be Theme
Of Essays
Automobile Chamber
of Commerce Will
Give Prizes For Best
Articles

New York, Mar. 26-Fiye thou
sand dollars in prizes for essays
on safety by school children, has
been voted by the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce as
part of campaign to educate the
careless motorist; or, If he can
not learn, to drive him off the
streets.
Public opinion is regarded as
the best weapon. Interest on the
part of school children is calcu-
lated to impress the subject Of au-
tomobile safety on their elders,
and to bring up the younger gen
Grafton with consideration for hu-
man life.
Thousands of motorists are suf-
fering for the sins Of the few.
Fatalities in relation to the num-
ber of cars have been cut in half
in five years; but the total num-
Der of automobiles Is so great that
even a small fraction Of reckless
drivers presents a serious prob
lem.
Careless Pedestrian at Fault.
Added to the harm of the care
less driver is the reckless pedes-
trian. Police Commissioner En-
right says that his records show
that rs percent of the automobile
accidents are the fault of pedes-
trians, failing to cross at corners,
running past the traffic officer
walking. Education can min
imize this evil.
Fairgrounds are the remedy,
however, the car makers believe,
for the hazards of children play
ing in the street. Children have
right to play" is one of the
main principles of this campaign;
and any safety program implies
advocacy of adequate play areas.
: The National Automobile Cham
Der OF Commerce has, over long
period of years, campaigned for
proper brake mechanism, uni
form traffic legislation, and ade-
quate instruction for new driv-
ers. 1t believes, however, that
proper enforcement of the pres
ent laws, and stimulation of an
active public interest in safety,
will prove the best means of re-
ducing accidents.
Detroit Makes Record.
Detroits record shows the value
OF arousing children's interest
and providing Fairgrounds. This
city which had a great wartime
growth, promoting it from the
eleventh in 1910 to the fourth
city In the nation, has neverthe-
less succeeded in reducing its au-
to death rate from 157 in 1917 to
1877 in 1920.
Full details concerning the dis
tribution of these prizes and the
methods of award will be an
nounced in the near future. The
car makers will work through
recognized official, safety and
playground agencies so that the
benefit OF the best experience may
make the prizes most effective.

Dear Stone: Do you think
the 1921 auto race season will
be as great as in the past? Are
road races popular? G. H. B.
Answer: Present indications
point to big season on
the race courses. There will un-
doubtedly be as many speedway
events as usual and many more
professional dirt track meets than
heretofore. The state and dis
trict fairs are including dirt
track racing as a component part
of their programs. Road racing
or national importance is not at
the peek 1t used to be. There
must be some source Of revenue
for promotion of auto races and
this is most difficult with the
usual road race. where the
course is large and the interest
not as apt to be keen as where
the competing racers pass the

Dear Leary: Do you think the

Answer: The electric, while
confined to a certain limit. is
uttlitarian even above the gas car
in some respects, but mostly
adapted to the larger city and
not the country use. Touring
trips, ever increasing in popular
fty, call for the gas car. Electric
trucks are used in some of the
larger cities by big firms with
good success.

Taxicab drivers Of Charlotte, N.

reason is that each one has to de-
posit a $500 bond with the city

a license. and the bond is forfeit
