load, it is surprising how rapidly ex-
ira equipment such as spare tires,
bumpers and other accessories run
up the load the tire is called on to
carry.
With this added weight and the ad-
dition of an extra passenger or two
occasionally, the tires are soon carry
ing a load that is much in excess OF
the load the car manufacturer orr
iginally figured on when he deter
mined the original tire size to be used.
On the subject of initiation it has
been found that car owners in their
desire for greater riding comfort are
prone to reduce the air pressure IN
their tires. running them much below
the pressure recommended by the
tire manufacturers, a practice which
leads to early tire failure.
IL a car is subject to frequent over
loading, oversize tires should be used.
Moreover to do away with the opera
ton of underinflated tires and to en-
| able the car user to gain the maximum
comfort possible consistent with good
tire mileage, it is necessary to use
| oversize tires that are capable of car
| rying the car load at a lower proper
%tionate pressure.
1t is clear that if It were not pos
| sible for the car owners to obtain a
| larger size tire to fit the size of rim
| with which his car is equipped, his
problem of tire mileage would be a
| serious one. The tire manufacturer
has recognized this problem and has
| produced an oversize tire for each
| size of rim, thus enabling him to equip
| his car with oversize tires for the e1-
ira loads.
Cases exist where the single OVERSIZE
ing of tires is not sufficient to meet
| the owners needs. In that case 1t
is necessary that he either reduce his
! loads or change his wheels and rims
to make possible the do~uble-oversiz-
ing of his tires. 1t is not considered
good practice to d~Ouble-oversize tires
without changing the rim equipment.
Most car users will find that the
single-oversizing of tires will show an
Improvement in their tire mileage, an
improvement that warrants the extra
cost of oversize tires. AS to he
use of oversize tires for Fords and
cars of that class, it is exceedingly
important that oversize tires be used,
for these cars operate very close to
the maximum capacity of the sizes
furnished as original equipment. A
change from fabric to cord tires will
usually meet the need of OVERSEEING
in this class.

POWER, SPEED
AND ECONOMY IN
LATEST FRANKLIN
New Ideas in Air Cooling We're
Started in 1915; Riding
Qualities Improved.

The first showing Of the latest six
cylinder Franklin, designated as Series
10. which is being made in all parts
of the country, discloses the new mo-
tor about which so many rumors have
been current il automobile circles for
some time.
From a performance standpoint,
power is the feature which shows the
most noteworthy development IN the
Franklin with the new motor. In bill
climbing, this greater power represents
a 20 per cent increase in ability, and in
speed, a 10 per cent increase, tests
made by the Franklin company, show,
without, however, involving any change
in the size of the motor, but register
ing in fact, a worthwhile reduction in
fuel consumption.
Under Way Since 1915
From a design standpoint, Series 10
Franklin introduces some entirely new
ideas in ~air-cooling which are the EN-
bodiment Of work started by Franklin
engineers as far back as 1915. The
cooling apparatus functioning on the
new motor, and called the pressure
| system, is known to have undergone
tests on over a score of cars, and ag-
gregating 100000 miles. before its
adoption. 1t develops a current OF
| cooling air which is fully two and one
half times that of the former FrankliD
system.
The new cooling system takes til.
air in at the front of the motor enc
forces it over the cylinders. This il
the direct opposite from the method
formerly employed in which the air was
drawn in by a fan set in the flywhee
at the rear of the motor.
Fuel Transformer
To make possible the most e%fficien'
use of the steadily lowering quality o.
gasoline now offered the motoring pub
lie. the new Franklin motor is equipped
with what Franklin engineers term
fuel transformer. This device is il
the shape of a cylindrical aluminium
casting with corrugated walls sur
rounded By a heater jacket through
which the exhaust gas of the engine i
passed. Raw gasoline on its way t.
the inlet manifold is led through tn
interior of this transformer and sub
jected to heat which turns it into va
pOr.

race e. Dodge, the founders of the

Dodges Loved Outdoors
Both John F. Dodge and Horace E
Dodge were lovers of the great out
doors. Had they lived to see the grow
ing need of outdoor accommodations
for the motorists who have no summer
homes to which they can drive with
their families for the week end. they
would have personally provided for
such accommodations, without doubt.
Therefore, the board Of directors feels
that it can establish no finer memorial
for these two men than to provide Q
system Of parks which will give health
| and happiness for all time to thou
sands of workmen from Detroit and
| vicinity in whom John f. Dodge and
Horace E. Dodge were so intensely In
terested and to whose welfare they al
way devoted so much of their time
| and resources.
/ know how deeply interested you
are in providing outdoor recreation
for the public and how earnestly you
and the department OF CONSERVATION
under your direction have assisted ms
in acquiring these sites. and L trust II
will not be improper for me TO saS
that I think the state is fortunate III
having a governor who appreciates I'M

HANDY DImmInu Apparatus

the mechanical changes and improve
ments noted in these new models.
Handy DImmIng Apparatus
For instance there is a lever for
dimming lights mounted on the top of
the steering column. This is a dis
tinct innovation in the automobile
world. In fact, the Oakland is the
first car to have a headlight dimming
apparatus mounted on the top of the
steering column. This lever may be
operated by the thumb and without
moving the hands from the steering
wheel. When the amount of night
driving now being done is taken into
consideration, the value Of such a de-
vice cannot be overestimated.
Another innovation, particularly tor
a car in the low priced field, is the
new hand control for spark and throt-
tie mounted on the steering wheel, a
type declared to be superior to the
quadrant. Gear shifting levers have
been heightened considerably to allow
for shifting with a minimum effort.
New Carburetion System
To provide for quick starting winter
and summer a new improved Marvei
carburetor and Oakland manifold has
been adopted. This new carburetlon
system has a heat control working au-
tomatically with the throttle. %insuring
a uniform mixture the year round un-
der all weather conditions. A new
! Remy distributor, with a semi-auto-
matte advance and retard feature, cares
for all spark adjustment inside the
breaker box in place of the entire dis
tributor head moving.
The new steering wheels are consid-
erably more dished than those on the
previous models, permitting easy
reach of the greater number of con
trolls now on the steering column.
Each of the models is powered will

built in the Oakland plants and eact
carries the famous $4,000 mile writer

1928 OAKLAND HAS
LARGER APPEARANCE
AND NEW FEATURES
Lever to Dim Lights on Top of
Steering Column; Can Be
Moved With Thumb.

The new 1923 Oakland series of
cars are distinctly new. They are
deeper in body lines and larger in APP
pearance. The distinctive Oakland
streamline has been enhanced by the
new sweeping full crown tenders
which are wider, heavier and extend
over the wheels in a deeper arc.
The lowering of the running board
an inch and a half. combined with the
new full crown tenders and running
board shield, are mainly responsible
for the full appearance of grace and
power which sets this new series apart
as the most distinctive the Oakland
Motor Car company have ever turned
out.
The comfort and convenience of the
owner has evidently been uppermost in
the minds of the engineers, judging by

TIRE SERVICE

II unlimited service Is looked for
from tires, it is important to con
slider the load as well as initiation. A
fixed pressure cannot be observed as
standard for a certain sized tire under
all conditions. The weight the tire
carries must also be considered. 1t can
be readily understood that the tires
of two cars, one of which is consider.
ably heavier than the other, may be of
the same size, but, because they are
of a size they should not be inflated
to equal pressure.
Most of the tire trouble along the
read befalls those who do not carry
a spare tire, while those who carry the
necessary supply seldom have any
trouble.

Detroit. Sept. 9.-Candidly asknowl-
edcing its own substantial contribution
TO the flood of motor cars which the
automobile industry has turned loose
on the highways of Michigan, causing
n serious congestion of the few remain
ing open parks ana bathing beaches
within 30 miles of Detroit, Dodge
Brothers, Inc, has bought up IL OF the
finest park sites in the lake district
north of here and donated them to
the state.
The purpose of the donation is to
proyidc a memorial to the late John
/. and Horace E. Dodge and to give
motorists places where they may nave
their p~icnics, games and bathing with
out being constantly driven from pill
lar to post by indignant owners OF prl-
vate property.
Ten of the eleven parks have large

is a rugged. almost mountainous parGeI
noted for its beautiful scenery. Inc

In a letter to Governor Alex. ).
Groesbeck. formally presenting the
parks to the state, Chairman w
r. Bloomer of the board of directors
of Dodge Brothers, intimates that he
would like to see other
manufacturers follow Dodge Brothers
example and do something to provide
outdoor recreation for motorists. In
der present conditions, he says, 1t is
almost impossible for the man VINO

Public Parks Needed

day in less time than two teams of
horses cover, according to an actual

ton.
Costs figured during the tests show
that over a years period, the cost CT
operating two teams of horse drawn
vehicles was S1.21 per ton mile, while
the operation of the u truck that
performed twice the service was only
80 cents per ton miles.
The yearly costs of fixed charges
and operation, taken from the books OF
the company, show that the truck
yearly cost was S2,967.62 and the two
teams of horses $4,410.S2.

EXTRA EQUIPMENT
QUICKLY INCREASES
TIRES NORMAL LOAD
How to Decide When Over
size Cases Are
Desirable.

A motorist can easily settle for him
self the question whether he should
equip his car with oversize pneu-
matte tires. Only two considerations
are involved and the problem is by
no means a difficult one. One of the
elements for consideration is the
weight the tires are called on TO carry
and the other relates to the degree
of initiation at which the motorlst
prefers TO use his tires.
Car manufacturers usually apply as
original equipment tires of a size suf-
ficipptlv large to meet the car weights
when equipped with standard aces
series and carrying a full complement
of passengers. To support this load,
however, it is necessary to maintain
the full initiation pressure as recon-
mended for the size of tire used.

Ridinu Qualities Improve

Cold weather starting, according to
Franklin experiments, can be readily
effected with the new motor at tenn
peratures as low as 20 degrees below
zero. For this purpose Franklin EN-
ploys the same type of electric vapor-
izer as heretofore, but with several re-
finements.
Riding qualities come in for improve
ment through the attachment of stabila-
tors as recommended equipment. 1t
is claimed for the device that recoli
action and sidesway Of springs is con-
trolled, while their soft action is pre-
served. Suppleness Of the springs
themselves is obtained through en-
ployment of the full elliptic type as
heretofore.
The latest Franklin is furnished IN
eight body types: Touring, runabout'
demi- sedan, d~emi-coupe, sedan, brough-
am, coupe and touring limousine.

the object which the forestry depart
mept of that state has set out to
accomplish. The department will
plant 10000 trees along the highways
this year and each year hereafter VIII
add 70 the number. What Minnesota
is doing is also being done in Pennsyl-

declare that if the trees are set back
far enough their roots will not injure
