maximum speed of 80 miles an hour.
Vehicles Of similar type form the
main item in the $22. 100000 worth of
automobiles exported annually from
France (mostly to England, America
and Germany and of three or four
millions from Germany, Switzerland
and Italy. They also constitute the
majority of the cars made and sold
in America for $1,000 to $4,000 apiece,
though cheaper and smaller vehicles
largely outnumber them here. They
are by far the commonest form of
automobile-the same in Shanghai,
Bombay and Melbourne as in Buenos
Ayres, San Francisco, Chicago. New
York, Paris, London, Berlin and Wen
na-and they are employed as family
carriages for city and suburban use
quite as much as for touring over
great distances. Their variations are
merely technical. All touring cars,
speaking broadly, accomplish the same
work. Even the difference between
gasoline and steam touring cars has
been almost wiped out by the uni

The Supremacy Of the Motor Trick.
In America automobile trucks and
delivery wagons were profitable BUSH
ness bringers before they became
labor saving vehicles. Many business
men whose expense account show
loss from using automobiles for haul
age would not return to horses. They
know that their accountants figures
do not tell the who.e story. In the
metropolitan struggle for business
prompt delivery Is momentous fac
tor. Suburban trade, at ever growing
distances, strained the possibilities of
the delivery horses, but the automo-
bile delivery wagon saved the stu
alton, even before experience In it's
use and progress In its construction
rendered 1t economical, mile for mile
and ton for ton. IL permitted goods
to be sold and delivered in widened
zones, just as it had already extended
the residential radius by making coun-
try life more desirable and had in
creased the value Of suburban real
estate, while influencing rural archi-
lecture and landscape gardening to-

for permanent, all-the-year residence
Where streets and roads are pass
able all the year, 1t has been found
that the electric truck up to five tons
capacity and the gasoline wagon up
to three tons capacity perform as
much work as two vehicles of the
same capacity drawn by horses. This
saves the wages of one driver and
upon this saving its economy usually
depends. II the roads be good the

repairs.
At present it Is a question. whether
gasoline trucks and delivery wagons
may be operated more economically
than electric wagons. In Europe cleo
trio trucks have never been used ex-
tensively except in Germany, where
they have given way to gasoline
trucks; but in the United States the
manufacture Of electric trucks and
the care and recharging Of electric
batteries are much simplified by or
ganization. Batteries and electric mo-
tors are manufactured by large cor
porations. which may reduce selling
prices whenever they wish, while the
manufacture Of large sized gasoline
trucks is still In it, infancy and pro-
crossing very slowly, mostly on ac-
count of the great demand for pleas
ure vehicles.

with coal or coke for fuel are num-
erous in England and are usel in
France and Germany. They haul

the $4,000 automobiles in America,
probably $4,000 are "runabouts'-and

than a short low powered machine for

The Delights Of q Touring Car.
The work of an automobile is to
roll along on the road, to go fast or
slowly or to stop when desired; to
ascend or descend hills; and, In many
cases, to do all of this with heavy
load. There is nothing unusual about
this; the same is done by horses. The
sensation which a,ouses enthusiasm
for the automobile comes solely from
the introduction of the superlative
degree of speed and from the absence
Of effort and fatigue. The automobile

THE "FRENz|EO
APPENDICITIS"
A Satrical Writer Humorouslv
Discusses Great Popular
Ailment.

The following satire "Frenzied APP
pendicitis." is not bad. A few years
ago this ailment was unknown-now
1t Is almost as common as bad colds.
The fact that the removal Of an ap-
pendix even If perfectly healthy, does
the patient no harm, and helps the
doctor from 500 to $1,000, is not cal
culated to discourage operations. Ed
mund Russell writes at length on this
interesting topic. We extract a few
paragraphs:
In an Office recently student asked
surgeon:
what did you operate for?"
Five hundred dollars"
II mean what did the patient
have?"
Five hundred dollars"
So much has been said of Appendix
citis people run to meet it.
1t has given its stamp to such dis
tinction that to retain ones appendix

People boast Of an operation in the
family with the same pride that old
fashioned folk used to say of aunt or
grandmother: "She had the only can
Ger In the village!"
After being welcomed with open
arms by society, patronized by royal
ty, this most dreaded disease of civil
ization today-many believe civiliza-
ton to be its cause-has gone on the
stage. In recent play at the Garrick
Theater. London, the hero gives the
old time cure: II have some sense

expensive to intestinally hold in those
days.
Poor little Jack fell down and broke
his crown, fell down and got up and
laughed again. Rich little Jack falls
down today and tomorrow the doctor
removes his appendix.
Although this intra-abdominal sur
gerry is we'll nigh directly homicidal, II
has become one Of the principal trades
of the United States. Bulletins Of its
operations fill the journals. Its
achievements are illustrated In the
othematographs. But no matter. how
brilliant, or dexterous, or famous they
may be these cleavers, carvers, saw
yers and slicers Of human flesh are
nothing more than .egalized Jack the
Rippers. They are keeping this in
famous practice alive solely for the
immense revenue it brings.
