Usually the responsibility In placed on the driver of the vchlclo, but In (be case of a fall or drowning or similar accident tho victim alone U held responsible In going over some of the statis tics compiled by tho National Safety council, It Is noted that the greatest number of death from any one ac cident his risen bccauio of the geratly Increased number of cars In uie; but the rate, It baa been shown, hai de created slightly.

As a matter of fact, a pedestrian will at tempt to cross In front of a alow moving car, whereas he will not think of taking that rlak It a fast-moving car I approaching. Tho human factor must at all times bo considered when the acci dental cause comes from falls, tho rate being 14.8 for every 100,000 people Then railroad accident and Injuries show p with 11.

True, tho number of accidents duo to motor cirs In any cldont on tho part of both driv er and pedestrian but a perfectly controllablo machlno will naturally tend to lesson tho clinnco of acci dents, Ono of tho chief faults may bo poorly designed or badly C' Justed brakes.

Mooro, a Franklin owner of Ileno, ha written O. A. Hoy or, president of tho Frank lin Motor Car company, Franklin distributer hero, of the wonderfal performance of his car. I consider tho Franklin to bo al together tho most satisfactory car for desert and mountain work," writes this enthusiast from tho "Sagebrush" state. "Driving on tho desert 1 an art by Itself, not at all' understood by thoso unaccustomed to It. I find that tho Franklin lends Itself peculiarly to desert and mountain road conditions. It I possible to make faster and more comlortablo trips on tho desort In a Franklin than In other cars for that reason, notwithstanding the fact that tho speed capacity of the Frank lin Is notoriously lower than other cars. "In driving out here, one I al ways limited by road conditions, and tho Franklin more nearly attains tho maximum speed possible under our conditions than other car with greater speed capacity. "Tho car I am now using Is tho sedan type. It was a question In my mind at the time of purchasing tho car whether It would prove sat isfactory lor desert work. I can say unhesitatingly that It has proved to be exceedingly satisfactory. We ex perienced extremes of heat and cold In Nevada, and I find tho sedan typo cooler In our heated times than tho touring type, and It Is obviously warmer and more comfortable In cold weather. I feel that I should com pliment you on tho body construc tion. My cars aro subjected to great er stresses, a I drive long distances and drive hard and fast. I often tako continuous trips of two and thrco thousand miles, and the body of tho sedan shows not tho slightest sign of rack."
