W Careful Seasoning of Lumber For Good Autos A lumber yard in connection with a modern manufacturing- plant for ton- | structing and assembling the mechan isms of motor cars would impress the •man on the street" as out of place. But this apparent inconsistency is a logical development at the plant of the Franklin Automobile Company, Syra- ! cuse, N. Y., for the reason that the chassis frames of Franklin cars are made of white ash rather than steel. Franklin engineers choose ash for the same reason that the carpenter selects wood in making a handle for his ham mer —because of the ability of the to absorb vibration. The easy-riding, ! resilient qualities of the Franklin car are largely credited to this shock-ab- ! sorbing ability. The buying of the white ash for such ! use is a real problem. Close, straight grain, even texture, freedom from knots or other imperfections and extreme toughness are the qualities necessary ; and these are only found in second growth white ash native to Northern Pennsylvania, New York and some o£ the New England States. The fact that New York State alone uses about seven teen million feet a year, while growing only about eight million, shows the relation of demand to supply. At pres ent the Franklin Companv is using *bout two million feet a year. A freight train one mile and a half long would be necessary to move this lumber to Syra cuse in one shipment. Southern ash supplements the native supply for ordinary uses but it is too < oarse-grained to meet the require- 1 ments of the Franklin Company. Onlv the very best parts of the best stock go into these frames and as a result probably not over 30 per cent, of a log will cut up into suitable grades. Sea- ! soning brings out imperfections which do not show in freshly cut lumber and thus only about one-quarter of a white ash log will eventually find its way into • chassis frames. The process of transforming the lum- I bpr into wood frames is long and ex pensive. The boards are air dried for year and then kiln dried for about! two weeks before going to the wood 1 Overland-Harrisburg Co., DISTRIBUTORS 212 N.

Here they are planed and cut to proper size. Each side of a frame is made up of three pieces, grlued to gether under pressure and held by twenty-five screws. Weather strips protect exposed edges from the ele ments. This laminated frame possesses i enormous strength; in fact, strength tests show that while this frame is 50 per cent, lighter than the ordinary pressed steel frame, it is 65 per cent, stronger under a load. The laminated : construction further aids in raising tnu safety factor, as there is little danger that flaws will occur in the thrae pieces ; at the same place. Philadelphia Auto Show Opened Last Evening This year Philadelphia will have a , real automobile show, surpassing any previous effort in number of square ! feet of floor space, beauty of deco rations, number of exhibitors, and ' will continue for a longer period than | heretofore. The sixteenth annual show opened last evening and will close on the evening of the 20th. This will permit seven days and eight even ings for inspection of the new 1917 models. This year the exhibit is being held in the exhibition hall of the Com mercial Museum building, adjoining the university grounds. Seventy-five thousand feet of floor space is being used this year. This is 30,000 more feet of space than was used last year I and permits all exhibits on one floor. A new heating plant and lighting sys ; tem have been installed and arrange i nients made with city officials whereby the automobile shows may be held there for four years. The decorative scheme is remarkable for its complete- I ness and unusual features. A paneled i ceiling effect conceals all the over head girders and the numerous up right steel standards are transformed j into massive-appearing round columns, i Unusually attractive designs in Egyp : tlan-Oriental effect gives one the im pression that the interior of the build ing had been reconstructed and made substantially permanent.

BAR.NER, Manager The "Peerless Motor Car Co. js CM 1 |lj§ ra Length of Wheeihase 'l Has Reached Its Limit Men who observe the tendencies in motorcar design are beginning to com ment. on a lact . brougut out strongly at the New York show increasing the length of wheeibase is going out! of style. For many years, the entire life of the automobile industry in fact, the public I has dcmundetl anu the manufacturer* I have built cars with longer and longer wheelbases, because long wheeioase was considered essential to easy rill ing. A paper delivered- before the S. A. K. recently shows how the research of au tomobile engineers is bringing to light the real facts regarding easy riding. Three factors are primarily respons ible lor riding quality; the unsprung weight, or the weight to those parts below the springs, as wheels and axles; the sprung weight, or the weight of those parts above the springs; and the "weight" of the springs, i. e. the pounds pressuie exerted per inch of deflection, which determines the flexibility. In general, the less the weight of the parts below the springs in comparison with the weight of those parts above, the easier the car will ride. Also, the less the weight of those parts below the springs, the more flexible the springs can be made. Increasing the flexibility of the springs also helps to make a car easy-riding. Stated simply, increasing tile ratio of sprung weight to unsprung weight and corresponding ly increasing the flexibility of the springs give better results in easy rid- | ing. There Is a reason for the fact that I long wheeibase has been considered! necessary for easy riding. By making | the wheeibase long_ the size of the body was increased and in this way the ratio of sprung weight to unsprung weight was unwittingly increased. A certain measure of easy riding was the result. Hut In this day of striving for econe omy, it is undesirable to increase the ratio in that way, inasmuch as the total weight of the car is increased and operating cost correspondingly goes up. tires wear out faster and wear of all parts Is much faster. The better way seems to be to reduce the weight of the unsprung parts and thus keep total weight down. The same ratio can be maintained and the less total weight reduces all costs, at the same time making a car easier to handle and safer. The staff of engineers at the Frank lin Automobile plant at Syracuse, N. Y., i has been working on this problem for I some years. Their Series 8 touring j model weighed a little less than 2700 : pounds, with unsprung parts lighter than the average. The Series 9 tour | Ing model has a total weight of 2280 pounds, about 15 per cent, less than the Series 8 car, and the weight of the | axles has been reduced 25 to 30 per cent. The riding qualities of the Franklin are due to the light unsprung weight and resilient construction. SEINK TILIi RISING Paris, Jan. 12.—The Seine rose 13 inches during the day and the gauge at Toumelle bridge registered 13 feet. All the wharves of the city are now under water and large quantities of coal are submerged, still further ac centuating the fuel famine. Most of the rtibutaries of the Seine continue Ito rise. Belgians From Antwerp Will Be Given Option of 1 Returning to Their Homes Berlin.

This step is! taken in consequence of Holland's rep- 1 resentation, basfed on the invitation of - the military governor of Antwerp in i October, 1914, addressed to Belgium j fugitives in Holland. The military governor assured the fugitives that if . they returned they would not lie drafted for forced labor for Germany.
