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, Ohio, is president of the organization.

Evenings -^0:ve9:>3Dr9' TT TRAFFIC VIOLATORS GET EARLY SPRING WARNING SOME poet wrote, in days of old, "All things that glitter are not gold". The poet's head was large and long, his intellect was wforking 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. I 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. The 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 ali 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". Announcements, warning Wilmette automobile owners of the traffic rules of the village, were enclosed with applications for vehicle licens- es, which were mailed this week. The announcements read as follows: "The constant disregard in the vil- lage of Wilmette of the laws govern- ing the running of automobiles, compels the rigid enforcement of the following: "You will be arrested and fined without further notice for driving through the business section over ten miles an hour, through residence districts over 15 miles an hour, through non-residence districts over 20 miles an hour, and for failure in the future to procure a village license. "You are required to keep two white lights displayed upon the front of your car and one red light dis- played upon the rear, after sunset. "It is a misdemeanor to allow your car to stand heading against traffic, or to allow an unlicensed chauffeur to drive your car. "Children under 16 years of age must not be allowed to drive a car. They will be arrested on sight and parents or guardians are subject to a fine of $50.00 for each offense. "If your lights are so bright as to dazzle and confuse other drivers. "If you drive with your muffler cut open. "Allowing machinery of your car to run while the car stands un- attended. "It will not be necessary to arrest. Any Officer of law or citizen can have a summons issued and have you brought to trial. "EDWARD ZIPF, President." Truck Shows in Favor. The increasing importance of the motor truck as an agent in transpor- tation has been shown strikingly at the automobile shows throughout the country this winter in the large number of truck exhibits. To date twenty-two of the important shows have allotted space to commercial vehicles.

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 th<- agent, C. E. Bridges of Evanston. The tires on the new Franklin, he points out. are larger than ever, 33x41/2; 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-mild 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 25,000 miles. for its women customers and does everything in its power to make the transaction of its financial affairs both pleasant and profitable.

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 Avas for your benefit—it was not published to incite sales. Coupelet, Sedan and Ton Truck prices have not as yet advanced. Will they? Let us make a comparison. Ford Runabout sells at $435 De- troit, Coupelet, $560—only $125 difference and the Coupelet "Body only" cannot be duplicated for less than $.575 manufacturer's cost. Ford Touring sells at $450 Detroit, Sedan $695 and the Sedan "Body" cannot be produced for less than $485. Now the Truck. The fact 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 bv ordering and TAKING DKLIVKR Y IM M KIMATKLY. R. D.
