Lo!

A Dangerous Increase ‘OME years before his death Charles A. Dana predicted that by 1920 New York would be a Jewish community. Probably he set the date too arly, but that the event is destined to come is shown by some collected by Dr. Joseph Voorsanger, *ho died in San Francisco last week. that New York’s aggregation of Jews is the largest in history or tradition, representing, as it 10 per cent. of all the Jews in the world. It is luger than the aggregate Jewish populations of Veana, Budapest, Berlin, Vilna, Amsterdam, Lem- Band London. It is ten times larger than the (tire Jewish population of France, twenty times larger than the entire Jewish population of Italy, "Penty-five times larger than the population of Jeru- [+*m, and fifteen times larger than the entire Jewish Population of Syria and Palestihe.—Chicago Journal, FRANKLIN Before you buy any automobile see it weighed and test its strength. Look at the running-cost of a light-weight automobile compared with a heavy one.

And Type H has six cylinders with all the smooth- Think of it!— a powerful roomy touring-car refined and strong and capable of 55 miles an hour; yet weighing only 2600 pounds and actually costing less to own and run than the average 5-pas- senger 4-cylinder machine. Other seven-passenger machines both 4 and 6 cylinders, weigh on the average, a thousand pounds more than Type H, and cost over 40 per cent more to run besides depreciating faster. All the Franklin models are on the same principle—high power with strength and light weight. The Franklin doesn t bump itself to pieces nor jolt its passengers. The laminated wood-frame and four full-elliptic springs absorb road- shocks. There are no water-cooling troubles. What water-cooled motor could run a solid week with the automobile standing still in a warm salesroom, as the air-cooled Franklin did at Chicago ? What heavy automobile could run from Chicago to New York in less than 40 hours ? You can’t drive a heavy, steel-frame, hard-riding automobile at speed safely and comfortably on American roads. You’re sure of comfort and safety in a light-weight Franklin. 16h. p. 4-cylinder Runabout $1750 16h: p. 4-cylinder Touring-car 1850 | 28h. p.4-cylinder Touring-car or Runabout $2850 42h. p. 6-cylinder Touring-car or Runabout 4000 Prices f.0.b, Syracuse Write for catalogue describing the Franklin.
