WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1918 1, Auto News Hm LTH ! nn Hine PRACTICAL POET URGES CAR BUYER BE CAREFUL OME poet wrote, in days of old, "All things that glitter are not gold". The poet's head was large and long, his intellect was working strong. There were no flies upon that bard, who sprung the truth, and sprung it hard. All things that glitter are not gold; we wouldn't be so often told, if haply we'd remember that, and post the maxim in our hat. The junk that fakers want to sell will often look surpassing well, but when it's used it comes to pass that shining gold is only brass. I bought two diamonds long ago; they cost me eighty bones a throw. 1 held them proudly in my hand, and there they shone to beat the band. | I bought them from a stranger slick |- who found in me a trusting hick. I} swallowed all his helpful bunk, and |: handed him my bottom plunk. And in a month the stones were dead; no gorgeous radiance they shed. man who bilked me was a peach; those gems were worth just eight cents each. The poet said, "Oh boys, behold All things that glitter are not gold!" The man who goes to buy a car, down where the blithesome agents are, should keep the maxim in his mind; it isn't safe to go it blind. Some shining paint and nickel plate will make a tinhorn boat look great. The buyer, take it as a rule, is quite an easy man to fool. He knows no more about a boat than Uncle Ezra's billy goat. He doesn't know or want to know what makes the doggone inside go; but he would like a fool- proof car in which a man may jour- ney far without it coming all apart and rupturing the owner's heart. He ought to buy a car that's made by men of standing in the trade. Have they been in the business long, and are their fame and credit strong? He should remember that the Haynes was first to hit our native plains, and all the time it's kept abreast of everything that's first and best. That is the safest guarantee for easy marks like you and me. The poet said, "Our feet grow cold, for all that glitters is not gold". PREDICTS LONG LIFE FOR FRANKLIN TIRES Twenty-five thousand miles will be the life of the tires on the Franklin cars this season in the opinion of the agent, C. E. Bridges of Evanston. The tires on the new Franklin, he points out, are larger than ever, 33x4Y4; they need to be blown up to only forty pounds pressure; they ride easier and punctures and blow- outs are practically unknown. The tires which were a part of the regular equipment of last year's cars were Goodyear cord tires, 32x4, guaranteed for 10,000 miles. Mr. Bridges sold a large number of these cars last season and was not called upon to replace a single tire under the 10,000-mile guarantee. The tires under the wear given them by the Franklin were. actually good for from 15,000 to 18,000 miles, and from this he estimates that the larger tires of this year's Franklins are good for 25000 miles. ARMOUR AND SWIFT FIGHT MILITARY ROAD Prominent residents of Lake Forest including J. Ogden Armour, Louis F. Swift and Leander J. McCormick. are protesting against the construct- jon of the new military road near their homes, saying it will interfere with their privacy. Highland Park business men, who, having been taxed thousands of dollars for the road's construction, bitterly oppose || any change in its route. Woman Driver Killed in Championship Race Mrs. Stephen Torro, auto racer, was killed Sunday afternoon at Stockton, Cal, in a five-mile race with Ruth Wightman, the aviator, for the women's world championship on a dirt track. Mrs Torro, driving Earl Cooper's Stutz, crashed through the fence on the third lap.

At the meeting of the governing board held last week in Cleveland a four-fold program was adopted, embracing conservation tests to show the economy of the motorcycle, national tours to increase the popularity among riders, co- operation with the F. A. M., which is the official organization of the riders, and the holding of national shows. Harry S. Quine of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, Akron, Ohiq, is president of the organization.

DELIVERY mechanician, Robert Currie, was probable fatally injured. C. H. BRIGGS, Manager 1 H 1 i Ford Price Advance My reasoning was not a wild guess. Logical comparisons and the continued advance in raw material prices forced the advance conclusion. It was inevitable and my idea of publishing this conclusion was for your benefit--it was not published to incite sales. Coupelet, Sedan and Ton Truck prices have not as yet advanced. Ford Runabout sells at $435 De- troit, Coupelet, $560--only $125 difference Coupelet "Body only" cannot be duplicated for less than $375 manufacturer's cost. Ford Touring sells at $450 Detroit, Sedan $695 and the Sedan produced for less than $485. that the steel manufacturers forced the raise in price and the Chassis was raised $75 shows conclusively that the Truck Price must advance. : One Hundred Dollars is worth saving and it is my ( opinion you can save $100 by ordering and TAKING IMMEDIATELY.
