Representative Henry W. Watson De
livers Stirring Memorial Address
at North Wales
NORTH WALES, Pa.. May 30. 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.

By the end of this week at least 80 per
cent of the steel superstructure of 'lie
Fi'ankford elevated between Front and Arch
streets and Frankford avenue and Pyre
street will he In place with so much of
the construction work done, residents of
the Frankford. 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. The
I Npeciflrations will he changed slightly and
bld will be readvertlsed In the near future.

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.
