FRANKLIN CLIMBS

PASADENA, Cal. July 30.-Up Mount Wilson in reverse. Not just exactly the kind of stunt that would appeal to the nervous type of iadi- vidual. but a stock Franklin car ac-
 complished it the other day in the remarkable time of one hour and .25 minutes.
 The road up Mount Wilson Is tor tuous, winding, one-way affair with turnouts about every 1000 feet, and a
 climb of 4636 feet in nine miles. Originally built to make possible the installation of the famous telescope at the summit of the mountain, ,he road was hewn out of the solid rock,
 with hair-raising '.S'' turns aplcnty. where a seconds hesitation might result in car and occus ants alike dropping from the road over the abyss several thousand feet. There are no concrete abutments nor pre- tecting rails along the nine mile route to the clouds.
 As may be gained from the fcre- going, it requires a deal of. caution and a steady hand and eve to nego- tiats the climb up Mount Wilson with the nose of a car pointed in the usual
 direction-forward. It requires ] consummate degree of skill. iron nerves-and a dependable car and one

 George Sherwood, service manager for Ralph Hamlin, Franklin dealer in Los Angeles. was the man who tuned the trick. Three other passengers, including representa- tives of the press accompanied him on the trip, which was undertaken to demon.trata the fact that the Franklin motor is not cooled by any forward rush of air, but is just as efficiently cooled whether the car is running backw ar d, forward or standing still. The motor was not once stopped during the as- cent. although the occupants alighted once to take photographs and 10 all low the driver to relax from his strained position.
 The Franklin touring car which made the run up Mount Wilson in reverse is the same car that chalked up 23.53 miles to the gallon in the 400 mile Yosemite economy run last May. and the same car that. recently made 34.s miles on one gallon of gas oline on the Los Angeles speedway without coasting.

withstanding the additional curing heat of retreading, tire engineers have been able to produce cord tires of remarkable retread possibilitis. The capacity of a tire to permit of several retreats is considered by ex- perts as good index to it's strength and quality. for the tire with a car cass strong enough to outwear two or more retreads must necessarily be unusually sturdy. Earl Hazelrigg. manager of repair material sales for the Spreckels Savage" Tire com pany. states that his company's fac tory records show many cases where their cord tires have worn through three and in some cases four retreads while operating on the severest kind of automobile stage runs.

all unusual for a high class vulcan izer to turn out retreads which de- liver as much mileage as did the original treads.
 The first essential for a successful retread is a good carcass and the wise buyer of today is carefully in vestigating the retread possibilities of the tire he is considering. Such motorists realize that a first quality tire will consistently give mileage on it's original tread that a few years ago would have been considered ao phenomenal, and that it's already long life may then be doubled and trebled by expert retreading.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-President
Harding is entirely reconciled TO the fail
IRE of Congress to pass the railroad re-
lief legislation, including the project to
fund the $500 900, 900 debt owed the Gov
eminent by the railroads.
For the time being at least, the Presi-
dent is convinced the Railroad Admins
tration viii be able to proceed with rail-
road settlements as the result OF the
Governments ability to sell In the open
market railroad car trust certificates
which the Government must dispose Of

cent. The market within the past two
months. has absorbed more than $780,,
900 900 Of the certificates and Indica-
tiOns are that certificates in sufficient
amounts will be sold from time to time
to continue the adjustments upon which
the Railroad Administration is engaged.
Originally the Government held more
than $500, OO00 900 worth Of car trust GER
tificates given by the railroads for equip
ment provided by the Government during
the period of Federal control.
The present attitude Of the Admins
tratlon, however, cannot be taken TO mean

AMERICAN FLAG
PEACE SYMBOL,
SAYS BRAND

WASHINGTON. Nov. 23.-''Keep the
American nag waving over Coblenz" is
Premier Brands parting advice TO this
Administration.
THE flag Of this country works for
peace as well as for war and the sym
boIic effect that it has, waving over this
German city, is greater than the force
Of arms. I think, too, that American
troops should remain on the Rhine. The
effect is good in Germany.
Assurances that France is not isolated,
that the powers will stand by her in
case Of aggression against her, will have
an excellent effect in Germany, too. They
will create the beginning Of that moral
disarmament which Europe needs.
And as for the effect in Franco have
the best Of news to take back to France"
Premier BRAND has admitted that po-
HticaI problems are piling up at home
In his absence, but members Of the
French delegation do not fear criticism
even from the socialists in French Cham
Der OF Deputies. 1t is believed that there
may be some protest from them against
any decision limiting land forces with
out representation from Russia and Ger
many, but this is not taken seriously
since the socialists are no longer strong
enough TO be effective.
The Premier will leave Washington

Sweeping reductions in personnel OF

Most Of those denoted were promoted

lations, unpopular in the British domin-

The London Chronicle greeted the re-
port Of the Far East committees or the
Washington arms conference as the nrst
step toward agreement.

of the commission Tuesday afternoon,
clearly indicated.
The commission had just voted to en-
ploy Macklin Mack, senior office aid in
the city civil engineering department, as

Louis w. Bruck suggested that perhaps
the commission should have waited until
it had consulted Lawrence V. Sheridan,
the newly appointed executive secretary
who takes office Dec. 10, before naming
any one who will work under him. He
said he understood that Mr.. Sheridan
had u number of persons in mind he
would like to bring into his organization.

President Raub quickly replied that Mr..
Sheridan had been told whea he was in
the city several days ago that Mr. Mack
probably would be employed. "and fur
thermore, I think this commission is
going to do the employing and not the
executive secretary"
Mr. Bruck agreed with the president and
the other members nodded their approval.
Mr.. Mack will receive $500 and his
appointment is effective on Dec. 10.
The first application for approval Of
the location Of a filling station under the
new ordinance making it necessary to OBJ
tain the consent of the commission before

did not give his name, said he wanted to
locate stations at South Meridian street

the application should come in written
form, accompanied by sketches of the
desired locations and instructed the ap-
plicant to prepare such data and bring
it back before the meeting closed. lie
