"MOST IMPORTANT
OF ALL CAPITALS"
WASH' NGTON—No matter what
kind of peace the world wdl get;
whether the democratic peace the
liberals are fighting and hoping for,
or a reactionary peace for which the
vested interests are maneuvering, this
much is certain, that Washington will
play a leading and an important, if
not the most important, part in the
affairs of the world for a long time to
come. Its voice will be heeded at all
the European chancellories and its
opinions respected by all peoples.
During the war Jewish leadership
has not taken advantage of its possi
bilities to make propaganda in behalf
of Jewish rights and Jewish claims as
have the leaders of other nationali-
ties.
If Jewish rights and interests are
to be represented and protected in
the world's most influential capital
during the days of reconstruction, it
is imperative that steps be taken to
create an efficient representation at
Washington to be ever on guard for
Jewish rights and claims here :Aid

Separation?
How Many Tires
Does Your Car Need To Go
10,000 Miles?
This suggestion may shock some
and frighten others. particularly those
who maintain that we are an indivis-
isble and for that matter indistinguish-
able (except for religion) part of the
American people. They will ar.j..e
that it would be a most dangerous
manifestation of the separatist 1.,n-
dencies that we ourselves wculd
create and thus furnish an excuse for
separate treatment of the Jews in
America.
In the above sentence I thinl. I
have summed up the strongest i.nd
most valid argument against the
proposition under consideration. But
after all a theory is never so strcing
and inv:ncible as when it can show
a successful practicable demonstra-
tion. After that it ceases to he a
theory and becomes a fact.
/
The average car ( on the right) heavy, or
rigidly built, or both—to go 10,000 miles,
needs an extra set of tires, or eight tires in all.
Franklin Flexible Construction—full el-
liptic springs, instead of the usual compromise
types; chassis frame of tough, resilient ash in-
stead of unyielding steel—is still another rea-
son why tires on the Franklin get every oppor-
tunity to deliver the full mileage that is in
them. This flexible construction reduces road-.
shocks , in tires. There are no torque bars or
strut rods to cause the rigidity that leaves tires
unprotected.
There could be no clearer illustration of
the splendid economy of the Franklin—Amer-
ica's First Light Weight Fine Car; nor a more
direct indictment of unnecessary motor car
weight.
Heavy Weight Pounds Out Tires
It is excess weight that prevents the
Its foremost institution of learning
in the United States is the Catholic
University of America at the Capital.
It is the most pretentious of its kind
in the United States and represents
an investment of many millions, and
yet it has comparatively few stu-
dents. A dozen or more imposing
buildings on a tremendously large
tract of expensive land for several
hundred students. Its departments

average heavy and rigid car from equaling the
fiubGcly-known Franklin tire-mileage. The
tion of the
ac-
weight of an automobile on its tires
is similar to a hannuer blow—and the heavier
the hammer, the harder and more destructive
the blow. I leavy weight pounds out tires pre-
maturely. And the heavy car owner, accus-
tomed to paying for tire-mileage he doesn't get,
accepts it as part of the game—until he meets
a Franklin owner. '
Some years ago, the Protestants
recognizing the wisdom and advan-
tage of a great institution likecthe
Catholic University at the Capital,
undertook also to build a similar in-
stitution. There is now the Ameri-
can University at the other end of the
city.
Our Great Need.
For Franklin owners in every tart of the
country, get a consistent delivery of
10,000 miles and more to the set of tires.
The reason lies in the sixteen-year old
Franklin principle of Scientific Light Weight
and Flexible Construction. The Franklin

of Scientific Light Weight, because of Flexible
Construction, the Franklin is not only econom-
ical in tires, but also gives a day-by-day deliv-
ery to its owners of 20 miles to the gallon of
gasoline instead of the usual 10, besides re-
markable riding-comfort and ease of handling.
Think of these things—and decide that
any car that combines fineness with motoring
economy such as this, is worth your imme-
diate inspection.
For, any way vou look at it, your motor-
ing satisfaction in 1919 is going to depend on
whether or not you have a car that will give
you efficient transportation, with the utmost
comfort, safety and reliability—at the least
expense.

As is well known the headquarters
of the American Federation of Labor
have been here only for the purpose
of watching events in behalf of labor
and always to be on the ground. Its
chief opponent, the Manufacturers'
organization, also maintains a hurts

to watch its interests. I have already

See the most powerful and most

world, the Catholic hierarchy, and

success. One would think that this
internationally powerful organization
has no excuse for separate and dis-

cause it is represented in every
branch of the government. But let

, HE above question goes straight to the
root of one of the largest items of motor-
ing expenditure. For tires cost money—
how much money depends largely on whether
your car is or is not easy on tires.

True, there has been great improve-
ment in handling Jewish national and
international problems. But still the
thing is done in a desultory fashion
without any attempt at co-ordination
by the numerous Jewish organiza-
!"
tions.
The days of perfunctory and inef-
ficient treatment of great problems
are over. • This is the day of special-
ization in ei.en relatively small
affairs of life. flow much then is
specialization needed in the great and
important affairs of the Jewish na-
tion?
It is therefore of the utmost im-
portance that when a Jewish battle
is to be fought only the fittest be se-
lected an that they be well fortified
with all f cts and statistics to hack up
their tentions.
A Washington Bureau for Jewish
Affairs fully equipped and properly
supported, always to he on the alert
for all that goes on here and ever
ready to present a united front, is
one of the greatest single necessities
for the Jews in the United States.
