Penn sylvania patriotism, as reflected by the large number of recruits that are being sent Into the army and navy from the State, was emphasized by Rooresentatlve Henry YV. Watson, of the Bucks-Montgomery dis trict, who delivered the Memorial Day ad dress at North Wales this afternoon. Rep resentative Watson said: "A. call to Arms by the executive head frf the nation to preserve Its honor and the erogatlvs of Its citizens Is the most Severed and solemn edict of all State procla neeUltms. Fifty-six years ago President Lincoln issued a call for 76,000 volunteers to preserve the Union and our republic After1 four years of bitter strife the war terminated. The Republic was to live a Httle while longer- The States of the Southern Confederacy returned to the Union to strengthen It as It never had been In the Jet and to unite the hearts of the Amer ican, people. There are no party differences today, when patriotism calls us to a unit We Are unified, we are one and are standing toewther for the glorious principles of our AUon.

Kensington section are rapid ly uniting In their demand that this six. mile section of the high-speed line he rushed to completion and leaned, either temporarily or permanently, to the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company. On account of the present ahnormal prices and the shortage of labor and materials It Is dally becoming more evident that the major portion of the construction work of the high-speed system will have to be de ferred until conditions nnd prices again become normal. As six miles of the total nine-mile length of the Frankford line Is rearing completion, residents of the northeast are urging speed In order that this much may be readv for use as an operating unit before conditions compel a complete shutdown on nil "in struction work , At the present time the steel Superstruc ture In In place from Callow hill and Front streets north to Kensington avenue mid Frnnkfnrd Creek From Frankford Creek to I'nlty street the steel Is on the ground ready to be set In position This part of the line Director Twining believes will be ready to reeclvo the station structures nnd the concrete track bed within six months From Unity street north to Dre street the "L" changes from a double column In a single column structure, with the sup porting pillars In the centre of the street Instead of one row at each aide On an count of tho long delay of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Comany In spreading their tracks to make way for the column sup ports this section Is considerably behind tho southern end of the line Senator Vare. who holds the contract for the foundations between Unity and Pyre streets, Is pushing tho work forward as rapidly hs possible, and at the present rate of progress Director Twining believes that In nine months this section will be ready to recelvp the concrete floor bed and the station structures From Callow hill street south to Front and Arch streets no work of any kind has beeij ili nc. as It Is not determined how the line will be operated nor whether It will make physical connections with the present Market street high-speed line of the Phila delphia Rapid Transit Company. To com plete this short section will take about a ear anil a half or two years, according to the promptness with which the steel is de llered As the operation of the line hinges upon the completion of this section, and It can not ho completed without leasing arrange ments, residents of Frankford and Kensing ton are urging that If thp administration cannot come to a prompt agreement with the transit company ocr the leasing of the entire sjstem. u temporary lease lie made for the Frankford "I." nt once. In order that this southern end may be completed and the line operated. Should this bo done and should the con tracts for rails, cars, power houses and substations be let at once. It Is estimated that tho line could be In operation as far north as Pyre street early In 1019 P'rectnr Twining later this week will ad vertise for bids for the ten stations on this ! section of the 'I, ' Bids were opened last week for the concrete floor bed. but as they I were found to be too high the contractors i were requeued to withdraw them.

JI; .n.e.lat ffiWU S a people, Americans have so long been charged with -wastefulness and extrava gance that we have come to ad mit it as our National sin. Perhaps the meanest thing that has been said of us is that our only idea of economy is to do without. That, being a people of ex tremes, we can save only in the most drastic and obvious way. That our idea of reducing household expenses is to dis charge the help, wear our old clothes and cut the table where it will be felt the most. That we must either waste coal or shut down the furnace and freeze. There is just enough truth in this indictment to hurt. Wasteful Economy vs. Construc tive Saving and Use The call to National economy ought rather to be a call to National Thrift. Here in the richest country in the world with nation-wide employment and prosperity, with wages higher than they have ever been in the history of the world, with 935,000,000 acres of tillable land and unprecedented returns for the farmer we can support another hundred-million people, whether in this country or Eu rope, on what America wastes, if we only apply brains to our prob lems, Natidnal and individual. Motor Traffic a Vital Factor in National Life It takes no brains to practice the economy of doing without. A good example of this idea of economy is the man who buys a heavy, extravagant car and then limits its use. Whatever the times or condi tions, the Franklin owner knows that he stands .firmly on a thrift baits. That if all cars were as efficient as the Franklin, America would save Four Hundred Million Gal lons of gasoline and $192,000,000 worth of tires every year with out cutting one mile off the stu pendous motor-car mileage of the United States. There is Needless Waste of Gasoline and Tires Thrift always implies a sense of values. What is the mileage value of a gallon of gasoline or a set of tires? Do you realize that all the twenty-odd years of motor-car designing has never produced anything like a standard of mile age for either gasoline or tires? That gasoline, worth twenty miles and upward in the scientific', light-weight Franklin, drops as low as nine miles and even six miles in many another make of fine car? That while the Franklin owner is getting his ten thousand miles from a set of tires, the typical fine car owner is getting only five thousand or less? Franklin Owners Have the Facts on Comparative Costs Where the heavy car wastes gasoline in the drag of its dead weight the Franklin devotes its power to mileage. Where the heavy car hammers its tires out before their time Franklin light unsprung weight with flexible construction doubles the tire mileage ct the Franklin car. Study the Used Car prices 1 They tell the same facts in terms of depreciation, emphasizing the security of the Franklin owner in the investment value of his car. Under all circumstances of road, climate, and the cost of gas oline and tires, the man with a Franklin owns and runs his car on the most favorable terms. These factors make the Frank lin peculiarly the car of free use, of staunch service, of small up keep, of low depreciation. Twenty thousand Franklin owners saw these things before there was any call to National Thrift.
