daJ gxjvaroo.
oa
Georgo McCone, for many years an acro
batic thriller and well known to thousands
of vaudeville and burlesque enthusiasts
throughout the United States, died today of
hemorrhage of the lungs In the Hahnemann
Hospital.
McCone had been 111 of tuberculosis for
many months and his death wns not unex
pected. McCone "teamed" with Richard
Black, another widely known vaudeville
acrobat, and Black Is today overwhelmed
with grief at tho death of his partner.
McCono and Black were known In the
vaudeville world as the "Brutal Brothers,"
because of tho many thrillers they In
vented. They produced the sort of stunts
on the stage that made audiences gasp and
shiver. In one of their favorite stunts,
McCone plunged from the shoulders of his
partner. In this thriller the audience al
ways expected to see McCone get a frac
tured skull, but before he hit the floor of
tho. stago he turned a neat little somer
sault nnd landed nimbly on his feet. AN
though suffering from tuberculosis, McCone
filled an engagement with his partner three
weeks ago on the Pacific coast. In their
time, McCone and Black have traveled the
best vaudeville circuits In the country,
Including Keith's. Lately they had been
traveling the burlesque circuits.
McCone was removed to the Hahnemann
Hospital from his room at 207 North Ninth
street. His body was removed to the
Morgue. He is survived by his father.

U. S. TO PROVIDE AIR

Men and Material From America
WilUIelp D it, Says
French Expert
By DAVID M. CHURCH
(Copyright, 1017. International News Service.)
WA.HHINOTON, July .10
Next year will see terrific battles In the
clouds; titanic struggles between the Allies
and Germany to take the supremacy of the
air. America, by the execution of her great
aviation program, must swing the balance
Oermany will be swept from the Bkles. It
will bo tho beginning of tho end.
This Is a summary of the opinion ex
pressed today by Captain Amnury do la
Urangc, of the Trench nvlatlon corps. Ho
Is In Washington In n confidential advisory
cnpaclty to the War Department In tho con
struction nnd building of tho American nlr
(loot.
"Next year will see the Allies nnd Ger
many In what must ho tho final strugglo for
the supremacy of the air," said Captain do
la CJrange. "If American can throw hun
dreds of machines Into the service to aid
the Allies, then wo can carry on a warfare
which will bo disastrous to tho enomy
"To havo superiority on the ground you
must have superiority In the air Without
control of tho air you cannot concentinte
troops or batteries, or prepare for attacks,
without the knowledge of the enemy. It Is
llko n game of cards In which the other
player looks over your Mioulder and knows
your hand.
OREAT ATTACKS PI.ANN'KD
"Next year wo shall havo to attack at
several places nt ono tlmo along a great

us to gain this superiority by carrying out
her aviation program and expanding it.
"Germany will, of course, try to keep up
with America, but, In my opinion, aha can
nover equnl the American nation In the
production of either men or machine..
"America must not become discouraged
If Germany tries to equal her efforts In the
air. You havo two gieat advantages over
Germany, In material and personnel.

New Admiralty Head Declares Foes'
Morale Is Going; and Power
Is Waning
LONDON, July 30 "The destruction of
tho German military power Is progressing
more since last spring than the people lmg.
Ine and the moralo of the German armJ
aflaiirerilv In srolnir fast." f,M ci- .. .
nnd resource In Germany is now used In , hh) flrst b W
.!!fc " .'S S,.S "mtS I-fd of tho Admiralty , the SuUd
at Cambridge last night. As to his own
attitude, he said he would not Interfere with
the needs of the fleet.
Speaking of German Inhumanity at eet
the new First Lord urged that detailed ln
formation concerning the heroism of ofllcen
nnd men bo not sought, ns It would mark
them for the enemy, and he was sure the
public placed confidence In the navy md
army.
He paid tribute to English railroad men
for their work In France, as they had given
the army freedom of movement not poa
sesscd a year ago. Munition wagons now
arc off the roads, he said, and munitions are
carried to the front on small-gauge rail,
ways, which has resulted In a saving of
muny lives
air fleet, then some other military project
must be weakened, seme strength must be
taken from her battle lines, and tne auvan
tugo Is for tho Allies.
"To man airplanes there must be young
men, such ns yours men who are fresh
nnd full of life, Btrong and clean muscled,
nnd with nerves stendy and hard. You aro
taking 100,000 such men to build your army
of tho air.
BATTLE PLANES FIItST
"My advico Is that you build first of all
battle planes and then great bombing ma
chines, because without a largo number of
battle planes you cannot gain supremacy
In tho air. As long as you haven't suprem
acy of tho air, you cannot send your bomb
ing machines far Into the enemy lines. But
thn minute you have n Certainty, owing to
your nlr-flghtlng strength, then with your
bombing machines you can bring wnr home
to the Germans.
"And this will be caster In the future,
for one day the Oermnns are going to
retreat from northern Franca, and perhaps
from Belgium. Then our lines will be nearer
to Germany nnd It will be easier to send
offensive machines over tho lines and bring
the, war truly homo to Germany. We can
then send bombing machines to wreck her
factories and railways, nnd make the Gor
man people nt homo realize the war."

A MERICANS are at heart
A- a practical people.
- - There is something in
them that responds to Thrift;
something that makes them
ashamed of extravagance and J
waste.
They may get off the track
occasionally, out they always
come back to the main road of
efficiency and common sense.
$300,000,000 Wasted in
Gasoline and Tires
Every Year ' .
The average American is
busy. Outside his business he
lets others do his thinking.
He thinks with his crowd.
He did this on motor cars.
He bought dead weight and
rigidity, ponderous machinery
and big wheel-base.
He lugged around radiators
and plumbing, a water-coolintr
tystcm of 177 parts.
He paid the price in upkeep
and depreciation, tire destruc
tion, gasoline waste.
It cost him in a year about
$600,000,000 and did not give
him the comfort of the flexi
ble, easy riding Franklin, with
its world's record of economy in
cost of operation.
There is no middle ground,
in this thrift question.
A car has it or it has not.
; Like easy riding comfort
if thrift is there it proves itself.

Take the tire question, for
instance.
If the owner of a heavy
machine rises his car as freely as
the Franklin owner uses his
scientific-light-weight car, in
three years he will buy four
sets of tires to the Franklin's
two and the tires alone will
cost him nearly three times
what they cost the Franklin
owner.
There never was a more
complete demonstration of a
principle than the way every
thrift-record in the fine car
class has been established by
the Franklin Car.
Efficiency Standards
Established for
Motor Cars
Gasoline! Franklin Na
tional Economy Test, Mav 1
1914-94 Franklin care in all
parts of the country averaged
32.8 miles to the gallon of
gasoline.
nAn a,.n l 1915
i,i i rankn Cars averaged
32. 1 miles to the gallon.
And again in the Yale Uni
versity Fuel Economy Test,
j ,Professr Lockwood
and Arthur B. Browne, M. E.,
estab hshed the fact that the
b ranklin Car uses less gasoline
per mile than any other car
with six or more cylinders.
ri?U I?, fr New York to
Chicago Oil Test the Franklin
Car ran 1046 miles on one
gallon of oil..
Power! Efficiency Test by
the Worcester Polytechnic
Institute demonstrated that the
Franklin delivered 84.4 per
cent, of its engine power at
the rear wheels.
Tires! The National Tire
Average of Franklin owners
for five years is 10,203 miles.
Investment Value! If you
find a used Franklin for sale,
you will pay twenty per cent,
more for it than for any other
fine car in proportion to its
first cost and the use it has had.
American Motor Cars Carry
More People than the
Railroads
The more this country geta
down to stern realities the
bigger place there is for the
r ranklin Car.
There is nothing new in
the Thrift of the Franklin
only more people are recog
nizing it.
The Franklin owner has
nothing to change, nothing $g
to explain or excuse.
He is using his car more &
instead of less, because it is
prirnarily a car, of utility,
owned and operated on a
Thrift basis.
It must be gratifying to him
that he saw these things before
the call to the NationafThrift.
