a problem with which automobile
engineers have been wrestling for
years. Franklin dealers are now
preparing for a nation wide demon
stration of this device.
The new features that have been
worked out in Franklin bodies are in
the nature of refinements in the
framing, trimming and seating

have an accident. 1t is not enough
to take the other fellows number.
1t is also pointed out that Summer
tourists who have taken out addi-
tional licenses should be particularly
careful not to discard them in such
a way that they can be used illegiti-
mately. The loss Of such tags during
the remainder of the year may cause
a motorist considerable inconveni-
ence, since he will be held technically
responsible for anything that hap
pens to a car on which they appear.
Proving your innocence is not always
an easy matter.
The N. M. A. also warns against
the hazard Of increased night driving
resulting from the coming of shorter
days and the regular return to STAN
dard time in localities where daylight
saving is now in effect. Headlights
neglected during the hot weather are
likely to be out of focus at the very
time they are most needed, and when
drivers are out of practice in night
