THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN pHoE TUESDAY MORNING April

ners to ascertain the element 0w
safety-through sand and up long
hills to prove a cooling system that
has no imitations--across miles of
average roads to understand why the
Franklin outdistances other cars in
a days travel, and does II without
abuse to the mechanism or tires
That is the kind of demonstration,
says Franklin, that reveals the ad-
vantages of the simple air-cooled en-
gine, the wood frame, the full elliptic
springs, the scientific light weight
the proper relation of weight above
and below the springs, and the other
exclusive Franklin designs and con-
structions.
Such trip enables one TO under
stand the extra value built in the
Franklin--the loyalty Of Franklin
owners-and to see why this car sold
twice as fast in 1921 as the average
of the entire industry.
The case hardened crankshaft with
three times the life OF the ordinary
shaft, and found in no other passen-
ger car--the more vigorous starter
the patented Long type pistons--the
silent chain started drtve--the inn
proved electric vaporizer insuring a
quick start even at 20 degrees below
zero--these recent developments and
others, together with air-cooling and
the older fundamentals. put the
Franklin in an enviable position.
The Franklin has shown itself to
be a wonderful car for such coun-
try as Arizona. There are dozens Of
Franklins in this part of the south
west that have piled up almost unbe-
lievable tire mileages, that have gone
for years without what may be
termed an overhauling, and that have
made their owners happy through the
most rigid economy. The local
Franklin distributors point with pride
to the esteem In which the Franklin
is held by it's owners in Arizona.
Voluntary letters from Franklin own
ers are drifting into the Franklin
agency every few days, telling of the
satisfaction enjoyed in the ownership
Of the Franklin.
The Franklin factory builds body
types comprising both open and
closed models. Its recent sweeping
reduction has now placed the Frank
Inns price lower than at any period
in the history Of the manufacturer
of the car with the exception Of four
months in 1916.

FRANKLIN HANGS
UP RECORDS ON
EASE ECONOMY

To the informed motorists, the
name Franklin is synonymous with
ease and safety of handling, riding
comfort, roadability, economy in op-
Grafton and freedom from routine
care.
Endowed with so, many points of
superiority, it is only natural. per-
haps, that numerous minor refine
ments, which in car of less all
around excellence would be touted as
actual features, should fail of even
their rightful share OF mention. The
Franklin has many such refinements.
The engineering experience OF IS
years coupled with a spirit of prog
ress that accepts nothing as finally"
good, has given the Franklin many
co1iveniences. Inconspicuous enough
in themselves, they combine to SUR
round the driver of the Franklin with
every facility toward easy manipula-
tion of his car.
Air-cooling, scientific light weight,
and flexibility, the principles of con-
struction which have given the
Franklin an individual performance
since 1902. are fundamental reasons
for the foregoing achievements.
In the words of the Franklin COM
pany. some OF the Franklin advan-
tages permit concrete expression.
Economy, for instance, in the we'll
known national averages of
20 miles to the gallon of gasoline.

Certain other qualities on the other
hand-the degree of comfort and
safety for instance--can be measured
in an automobile only by compari-
son. An extended road run is the one
test that discloses the important
things one wishes to know about a
car. Over rough spots for genuine

REHOBOTH SEPTEMBER SEASON
Delaware's Ocean Resort Will Remain
Active Longer Than Heretofore

For the first time in its history Re-
hOboth Beach will keep active the en-
tire month of September. The big
hotels will remain open and moving
pictures and other amusements are eX-
pecting to remain open until late in

keep many cottagers there for the
later fall months. All records were
broken Labor Day evening when the
Hotel Henlopen dance received more

known at any previous dance. Visit
ors from New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Maryland and Delaware were present.
Delaware was particularly represented
and the University of Delaware es-
pecially so. The occasion was a re-
union of several of the classes and the
different fraternities engaged rooms
and held open house for their members
and friends. Horns pavilion was
crowded at a dance there also. Hor-
ace Johnson, manager of the Belhaven
buffet, closes his work this week and
will start at once on the erection OF
four bungalows in south Rehoboth. A
contract has just been made by Balti-
more people for the erection of ter
bungalows in lower Rehoboth, which
will be constructed for renting purpos
es. The last load of stone was dump
ed on the north jetty last week anC

Tariff Bill Faces
Another Big Fight
In The Conference
Big Battle VIII Be Over Question of American or For

The Senate
Try United PressD

Washington, Aug 22.-The Ford
ney- McCumber tariff bill, passed by
the senate after a great political bat
tie of four months, faced another big
fight as it went 20 a conference COM
mittee of the senate and house yester-
dav.
Powerful groups In both houses
were lining up for a finish fight on
whether the measure should be based
ON the foreign or the American valua-
tion of IMPORTS.
A Republican faction in the senate
was lining uD behind the American
valuation system as adopted by the
House. i'm contrast with foreign valua-
tjon as approved by the majority of
the senate.
"The big battle" said Senator Od-
die. Nev. leading member of the
stronV Republican farm-taritf bloc,
"will be over the question OF American
or FOREIGN valuation. on the floor OF
the senate itself.
There is a greatly increasing un-
dercurrent of feelinc amOn0 senator's
in favor of American valuation. Sen
ator Oddie added. "and this sentiment
is narticularlv strong among the so
called farm and tariff bloc members
