A special model, a n'W speed car. la a feature of the II. M. Franklin Manufac turing company's exhibit at the automobile show this year. Thin car has all the lines of a awlft and speedy vehicle. Tt la fin ished in battleship Cray and resembles a runabout, with feature of a larger rar and the addition of a body built for fast traveling. While the Franklin company has never mad A feature of speed cars, the linht welarht construction of Franklin models, coupled with the new sloping hood on 19U cars, has made possible the construction of thin type of automobile. While It Is fast and efficient in aervlce and has speedy appearance, it Is announced at the same time as a very desirable light run about. The observer's atteatlon Is attracted moat by the construction of . the car's bnrfy. Beginning at the front, the lines start from- the level of the chassis frame and rise upward, sloping backward, follow ing the design of the Franklin 1911 hood. The 'hood runs to the danh and Its lines are thera continued by the front of the body. Th steering wheel la set with A greater rake than In other models. The seats are low and Are ao constructed that when driving the natural position for the driver la natural, but low down, with the face on a level with the ateerlng wheel. From the top of the back of the seat the aluminum of the body runs downward and hsokward to the rear of the chassis frame In 'A strikingly rounded "turtle back." The car Is equipped with a fore-door on the left-hand side, while on the right, where the control levers are. outage of the body, there Is no door. , Its horsepower Is rated at twenty-five, while the regular typa of Franklin run about la but eighteen. The. speed car welgha only 1,900 pounds and has a wheal base of lli4 Inches. The; body Is sup ported on full-elllptlo springs. There 'Is a wood chassis frame tending;' to eliminate road shocks. ..', The tires are 34x4 Inches ' front ' And rear, size being Intended by the designers as a factor In easy riding at high speed. Ignition Is by jump spark from A Bosch high-tension magneto. The spark Is Auto matically regulated, lubrication la by com bination of the force-feed and splash sys tem, throttle control is by hand lever and fottt accelerator. All levers And controls re within easy reach of the driver. Rpgu ar equipment on the car Includes a muffler cut eut And A Klsxonette horn. Th first of these cars was built for Theater Orlswold o! New York City. An ther was built Xor.n. C Hamlin of Lo Angeles, one of the best known automobile mm on the Pacific coast. vl(al thing which no amount of calisthenics or massaging or physical culture can give Indoors-plenty of fresh air literally forced Into the lungs, plenty of red blood, a nor mal healthy appetite and the capacity to sleep well and refreshingly. The open car particularly mean for both men and wo men more outdoor recreation and exer cise, fewer frassled nervous systems, bet ter digestion. less Insomnia, better all around health. Closed cars represent the height of auto mobile convenience and luxury. The so cial possibilities of the winter season have been Inestimably enlarged by the enclosed motor car. There was a time when shop ping, socl il calls, theater going and all of the things which make the winter enjoyable.- were a burden In any except the most pleasant weather. The dally grind of business used to be very Irksome In the cold months. Now milady goes shopping and calling In her limousine after the head of the family haa used it to take him to buslnesa In the morning In comfort and privacy. In the evening the whole family can use the limousine for theater-going and miss all of the discomforts attendant upon a street car trip or a ride In a cold And draughty carriage. Nothing ao adda to the enjoy ment of a play as the knowledge that upon leaving the theater one may enter a com fortable, closed motor car. For the suburbanite and for those who live In the country the value of a motor car cannot be computed. The country dweller is Always mora or less remote from his neighbors. There are few conveniences for travel and If one would go around socially he cannot well do without a motor j car. The man who lives fifteen' to thirty I mile from his place of business la seriously ' handicapped if he has to depend upon trol ley systems and railways. With a motor car ha suffers practically no Inconvenience. A brisk Invigorating spin in the morning carries him to the office and he arrives horns . at .night refreshed by a pleasant drive la the open air. The motor car Al ways brings the suburbanite close to his city friends. It enables him t enjoy the advantsges of A residence In the city, with out losing any of the benefits at a home In. the country or in a small town away 'from the burry and bustle of the larger city. ... -As a factor in, social Ufa the motor car haa. In my opinion, played an all important part., No development of modern civilisation lae dona so much to promote social In err.ourae aa tho motor car. Both In cities rd rural districts the automobile has rought peopl'i nearer together. It has nade those who live at remote distances, text door neighbors. It has brought the .Ity close te the country and the country loae to the city. It has brought all peo- who ue motor cars, close to nature. A prominent physician told me not long ko that "nerves" are becoming a thing of '.he past among women who use motor tars. Nervea" are due to close confine ment, to too little exercise. The automo til has taken womankind out doora In all kinds of weather. It has given that But few persons realise what an enorm ous amount of work waa necessary to prop erly control automobile contests of all kinds In order to put the sport on a high plana, and to eliminate unfair methods In compe titions. , . (Jeorga H. Strout, vales manager of the Apperson Hi-others A'bton.obile company of Kokoino. lnd., who is this week Attending the Omaha show, has been constantly en gaged In this work since the beginning. He wan one of the seven men who met in. New York three years ago for the purpose of correcting the many evils then existing. The result was the formation, in Febru ary, 1H09, of the Manufacturers' Contest as sociation, an incorporated organisation to which every manufacturer of automobiles who has produced fifty or mora carg is eligible for membership. This association has a general rules com mittee of twenty-five, of which only one person can represent any one automobile manufacturer. There Is also An Active rules committee composed of five men. The Active rules committee formulates all the rule covering automobile contests of every nature. The result of the work of this committee of fl is then bubmltted to the general rules commute of twenty-five for consideration and Adoption. In their final form the rules sre -efTred beck to the committee of five, who then turn them over to the contest board of the Amerlcsn Automobile association, which association Is the board that Interprets the rules and sanctions automobile contests of all kinds. A working agreement In the form of a legal contract Is executed between the Manufacturer' Contest association and the Anurlrun Automobile anioclatlon. Briefly stared, the results have been to purify automobile sports. For the coming year A paid technical committee or the American Automobile association has been provided for, and all automobiles which have entered Into any contest held under the American Automobile association rules must first be registered with the American Automobile association on a certificate ot description blank at least thirty days prior to the time that such car engages In the contest. The technical committee will visit fac tories and check up these certificates cf description with the cars themselves. It Is manifestly Impossible under the present mode of procedure for a sock car listed as a stock CAr not to conform in every part with the stock cars that are regularly sold to the public. At the present time the active rules com mittee of five of the Manufacturers' Con test Association la devoting A considerable amount of time to the formation of rules for covering contests between trucks and delivery wagons. It is the Aim of the As sociation to so standardise competitions of this kind as to permit of the merchant drawing an Accurate conclusion from the result of these contests as to the reliability, economy, etc., of the competing commer cial vehicle. One of the hardest problems the associa tion had to solve was formulating the proper definition of a strictly stock car or stock chassis. It is generally believed by all Interested and well informed persons identified with the Automobile Industry that much has been Accomplished during the last two years by the Manufacturers' Contest Association through their working agreement with the American Automobile association. .

JACK SHARP, Agent. v (ffi iffih ; V- There Will Be No Reduction W W In the Prices of Mitchell Cars for 1911 J This Year there is FroinP' to he n decided short-no- in nnfnmr.K;ipc of all classes. The pessimistic talk ofsome months ago lias had its effect upon the manufacturer. What's the result going to be? -. pimply this: that if you don't place your orders now and specify immediate delivery, some of you will not have cars when you want them. Scores of you have doubtless held back your orders because you have thought there is going to be a reduction in prices. That will not be the case uith cars that are worth their prices. So far as the Mitchell-Lewis Motor Company is concerned, you may as well know now as any time that there will be no reduction in prices not even a penny's worth and if you want a Mitchell you had better go to a Mitchell agent today. Who started this talk about a reduction in prices? No one but those concerns which made cheap cars and tvtr-priced them in the beginning. Certainly., the Mitchell-Lewis Company is not in such a class. The demand for Mitchell cars is healthier than it ever has been. We have already delivered more cars, twice over, than we had delivered at this time last year. Moreover, we will not be able to make within 30fo mof the cars that our agents have asked for. We are not offering this announcement for any other purpose than to save proposed Mitchell owners aU annoyance in securing cars when the hour of their need arrives. "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." Order now and be sure. Order later and run your chances. Remember this one thing that this year Mitchell Service reaches the highest point of its development and the word "Service practically means factory insurance on your car. Moreover, we have scattered "trouble men" throughout the country whose sole business is to visit Mitchell owners and see that Mitchell Cars are kept tuned up and in good condition. Mitchell Service means that the Mitchell-Lewis Company Makes Good. We are not satisfied unless Mitchell owners are satisfied. So that the man who buys a Mitchell can't possibly be sorry he bought it, nor can anyone induce him to part with it. That Mitchell Service is a Bulwark of Safety. , Gf your order in today if you want your Mitchell when you want it. Th car you oaght to have at the price you ought to pay.
