Paris. When th (econd session of
th full peace oonferanc met, It waa
addressed by President Wilson on tbs
aubject of a league of aatloaa. Tba
president declared tba conference bad
solemn obligations te make a perma
nent settlement .
Th praaent conference, th presi
dent added, could not complete Its
work until some farther machinery of
settlement should be set up. Tb pres
ident spoke earnestly.
"We arc not bar alone," b said,
"aa representative of governments,
but aa representative of peoplea, and
In tha settlement we make w need
to satisfy, not tba opinions of govern
ments, but tha opinions of mankind."
President Wilson contended tbat a
league of nationa muat ba a vital thing
and not casual or occasional. It must
have continuity. 4
On his travels, tb president said,
people everywhere had greeted the
league aa tb first thing In their In
terest "Select classes of men no longer
direct the affairs of the world," said
the president, "but the fortunes of
the world arc now In the bands of the
plain people. The wish of the people,
therefore, must be beard."
The war baa swept away those old
foundations by which small coteries
had "used mankind aa pawns in a
game," said the president Nothing
but emancipation from the old sys-
i tem, be contended, would accomplish
real peace.

HOLIDAY SEASON IN ITALY
Dr. Qrenfell of Labrador Fame
Explalna Christmas Observance
In th Sunny Land.
Travelers visiting Rome while It
was still the center of land of peace,
found Christmas ther a day of Joy
ousness ; and th merry bells of many
churches, ushering In the day, spoke
the familiar language of borne.
Just before the war, Dr. (Jrenfell,
of Labrador fame. Indulged In the
unusual luxury of brief holiday in
Europe, after years of tireless sen ice
among the fishermen. His journey
brought him and Mrs. Grenfell to
Rome just aa the many religious and
civil observance of the Christmas
sea eon were about to take place. A
great contrast these scene were to
the Christina es of Icebound Labra
dor. The decorations, the greetings, and
the crowds flocking In and out of
churches, emphasized the spirit of the
season. "All the places of worship fnto
wblcb we peeped," be says, "were
ablate with lights, while processions
of priests In glittering robes, with so
norous choruses and ascending Incense,
appealed to the various senses."
At one church they viewed the Ave
boards believed to have formed a part

Franklin Talks No. 3
What is power in an automobile? It's hard to find
a term that is more abused; in fact, the term has got
to the point where it doesn't mean very much.
It used to be that a 60 h. p. car was taken for pow
erful. Eight cylinders or twelve cylinders mean pow
er to another group of people. But in the last analysis,
horse power rating or number of cylinders are mere In
cidentals to power. In other words, a 20- h. p. car
might be as powerful as a 60-h. p. car, or a 4-cylinder
car as powerful as a twelve.
This question of ability, or power, comes down pri
marily to weigh. A 4,000-lb. car with a high-powered
engine doesn't necessarily perform any differently from
a 2,500-lb. car with an engine of only half the rating.
So most people find talk about power anything but def
inite or convincing.
A FranElin, being a light car, doesn't need a horse
power rating that a 4,000-lb. car needs, and the power it
develops saves fully half the gasoline that a typically '
heavy car requires. Yet the Franklin makes better time
over the road. A lot of cars have power that is usable
only rarely so that most of the time the engine oper
ates at low efficiency the reserve wastes gasoline. The
Idea of the Franklin is to set power at the point' where
it is always most effective.
Yours) truly,
