.REAL MEANING IF WEIGHT IS SHOWN
BY AL MeGLooK


 The American automobile industry is entering on new era as regards the design of it's products. Many factors have combined to make nee essary certain changes in the design of automobile engines. The increas- ing-der1c1Gs for gasoline have made the supply such a tight fit that steps have got to be taken to conserve mo- tor fuel as well as to increase the supply. If the automobile engineers can design engines that will use only half the quantity of fuel for given mileage it is the same as increasing the supply of gasoline 100 per cent Practically all our engineers are working on this problem and one of the first points of attack is going to be weight.
 Light weight, together with proper distribution of weight an a motor car, means low gasoline consumption. low oil consumption. greatest tire mile age, comparative freedom from ex- pensive repairs and easy riding Scientific light weight construction will be seen in the future car, and that car will be capable of showing over 30 miles on an American gallon of gasoline, some 1000 to 1.50o miles on a gallon of oil and considerably over 12,000 miles on one set of tires l " IllIe t1eSe CldlIQS IllSnI De TndQt | by some makers of existing cars, | these results will be a general thing instead of the unusual when ligh, cars produced properly. The author | believes will be necessary for the mo- torists of America to revise theil ideas of economical motoring and comfortable motoring when the American engineers make up theil minds that the present run of cars, as a whole, are designed with altogether too much dead weight. At the shows this coming year you will see at tempts at this future car perhaps the ideal reached in one or two, but nev- l ertheless if it does not come this yea | at least progress will be made toward realizing the ideal
 The important matter that the buy CT has to consider when he looks ovel the cars is not so much the list pric, as it is the upl<eep. The high cost O driving a car has kept hundreds c thousands from owning cars. Ligh
 weight will cut in half the cost O
 operating. So in looking over tn cars it will be well to consider weight This means the weight of the vehicl as a whole. and the nearer it ap : breaches 1.400 pounds for five pas senger car the more nearly it ap } breaches the ideal.

Birth Of Franklin Car Is Subject Of
 Big Celebration

frame constructed of wood instead of steel.
 Mir. Wilkinson is ore of the few re- maining men actively engaged in the automobile industry who is a member of the little group of American gen. fuses that early had faith in the au-
 tomobile-faith that 1t would one day
 revolutlonize ideas of transportation
 which had existed for centuries. With
 over 9.000.000 motor vehicles in oper-
 ation in this country alone. it is hard to realize that 20 years ago an auto mobile was an object of, open mo-1thed curiosity on the part of the passing throng, ard was everywhere more or less contemptuously dubbed shorse1ess carriage" The tribute which the Franklin organization is paying this week to John Wilkinson brings to mind ir vivid fashion the 1 tremendous strides made by the mo- tor car within the brief space of two decades.

They call their cars light in weight. and know that they can get that high mileage, because the car doesn't weigh as much as two ton truck which gives. let us say, five miles per gallon.

Farmers Are Undismayed.

After seeing published a lot of
unreliable statistics, compiled by
white collared farm experts who
never plowed an acre Of land in
their lives, that the cost Of producing
a bushel of wheat was all the way
from Sl.50 to $500, the undismayed
farmers are sowing a more than av-
erage acreage of wheat in the face
Of dollar a bushel prices. In many
wheat states the best wheat is hard
to market at a dollar but the wage
agitator keeps bowling that the cost
of living is not coming down. Eggs
are lower than for twelve years and
so is all the farmer has to sell. With
high spiritsSand patriotism, the far
mers are not going to quit growing
crops and feeding US all.
Under these conditions labor can
not expect to hold to a war scale of
wages. 1t must take its cut along
with producers.

That IS the question put forward by

would appear that the dollars which
the lumber brings are dearer than
any sentimental emotion aroused,

The Wrong Way.

The move to recall the public SER
vice commission is not likely to gain
any great Roadway, and it should not.
We do not know that we agree en-
tirely with the commission in its
finding in the telephone case, but we
do know that the members Of the
commission were elected by the peo-
pie. They are better servants of the
people now than they were when
they took Office. They are just as
good servants as they were when
they refused to allow the telephone
company to raise its rates, and we do
not for a moment doubt that they
used their best judgment in arriving
at their decision. They knew that
their action would not, and could not
be popular. If they played politics
they would not have been as liberal
with the telephone company as they
have been.
If they have made a mistake, ii
is a mistake of judgment and not
of the heart. One mistake is not suf-
fcient excuse for recalling men who
are exercising all the qualifications
that they had when the people select
ed them for those Offices.
If the commission has made a mis-,
take. there is a method Of actor
open. That is TO bring action before
the commission showing hat the
rates granted are too high. If there
is evidence which should have beer
considered, but whDb was not con.
sidered, there is a way to get 1t con.
sidered. If costs of material and oil

to expect a move to lower the rates

their decisions are made according Il

are human. They may make mis-
takes, but because of the fact tina
they are human we may well believe
that they did not purposely make an

CHECKED or cracked,

IF CHECKED or cracked,
i new paint is needed, and it
will be cheaper to paint now
for deterioration costs more than
good paint.
A well painted house brings
several hundred dollars more on
sale and more in rent. Keep it
painted and it stays new for
years.
The best paint spreads more
easily - saves labor cost. 1t
covers more square yards -- you
buy more gallons Of cheap paint.
The best paint then protects

The Farmers New Food
Market.

The breeding OF game birds for
food is increasing as an industry by
leaps and bounds, The number of
breeders has been doubling for two
or three years past, and most of them
are farmers.
1t has been brought home to every
body during the last ten years that
despite our thousands of game laws
and tens of thousands of game ward
ems, American game birds were rap
idly disappearing. We now know
that if this great American heritage

terity, not laws and not game ward
ems will do it. 1t will be done by
the farmer who breeds them for
food purposes.
Statesmen are beginning to see the
folly of preventing people by law
from producing food and selling it.
The United States Supreme Court
has Just decided that Notwithstanding
the migratory bird law, and notwith-
standing any law that NAV be on The
books, game can be privately bred
and consequently being property
can, be sold for food. There are
organizations in this country that
will protect any man who is inter.
fered with in his right by o~ver-zeal,
Gus constableS and justices of the
peace.
The farmer who breeds wild geese
and duck, pheasant, grouse anc
quail, will find it very little more
work than the common barnyaro
chicken, and vet he can sell these
game birds for food, and for further
breeding purposes, at eight to ter
times the price he car get for
chicken.
There are at least Fifty million:

children, who never go hunting, ant

The Right Idea.

Normally is not a question of
price or a question of wage, 1t is
merely a question of fairly steady
employment with the dollar buying
as much as ii ought to. Whether
the farmer receives ST or $40 for a
days work, makes no difference so
long as the buShel of wheat or days
work will obtain as much of the nee
esSarieS or comforts of life in one
case as in the other. What we mean
by normal times is steady employ
ment, as much as in the nature of
things is permissible, paid for by a
stabilized dollar. In normal times
people do not live upon their savings,
but the latter accumulate, and con-
stitute the sole and only form of new
wealth which can be created. Ii is
this which flows into new undertak.

expansion in industry in supplying
