Driving Motor Is a Trade.

However, affairs are so regulating them
selves that this will soon be thing OF
the past. Young men are fast realizing
that driving a car Is trade and not an
occupation. They are beginning to start
working in the repair shop of some gar
age. Here they learn all of the working
parts of the car. They see the results OF
rough handling and know how to avoid It.
When they have served some time In this
apprenticeship they are capable of taking
a car on the streets and handling 1t judi
ciously. They expect larger salary, of
course, after obtaining this experience
than a horse driver gets But isn't 1t
cheaper to pay chauffeur $50 DAY
than to pay three horse drivers - day
each, and then again there is the saving
in repair bills.
All sizes, kinds and weights are now
handled by commercial cars IN this city
and the firms in general that own them
are very well satisfied. One firm, which
was among the first to get automobiles
for it's delivery. daily sends out its five
ton electric trucks for hard service. The
express companies are doing nearly all OF
their work with their electrics and are
getting the best results from them. In
this connection it may also be said that
the United States Express Company and
the Washington Terminal Company have

be used in and about the Union station to
transport baggage and express matter TO
and from the trains.
Department stores and merchants or all
kinds send out their goods in light ca
pacity wagons, both electric and gasoline:
and excellent results are being obtained
by them. Mail collectors may be seen
scudding hither and thither in the new
cars that the department has adopted.
The constant startings and stops to which
these motors are subjected are the hardest
service to which any car could be put,
and they are making good.
The motor has been considered such an
advantage that boys on motor cycles are
delivering parcels from the smaller deal
ers.
Such is the story Of the motors prog
ress. There can be no retrOgrade. 1t
must go ahead-until. well-that Is the
answer to the question in the first sent

stripped. motors burned out. brake bands
frightened so that the driver could come
to a spectacular stop from full speed. and
tires were worn out in about one-third Of
the time that 1t should have taken. Then
the repair bills began to flock in on the
owner. His car was out OF commission
for days at a time. His natural conclu-
sion was: This car is a great deal more
expensive to me than horses were. and
I don't know what day 1t Is going to
bad way"
He was right. he couldn't depend on his
car, but he made the mistake Of blaming
1t all on the car and not going to the
root Of the evil-the driver. He forgot
that the automobile 10 q delicate piece Of
machinery and that 1t must be handled

The car to accomplish this feat was the
Thomas Light Six. which was driven by
George SalZman, with George T. Ver-

thirteen hours and fifty-two minutes from

This means a saving Of $441 a year,

Bad drivers are the principal source Of
trouble that have operated against the
general adoption of the commercial car
in Washington. Good drivers have been
scarce and some of the owners have been
moved by a spirit of sentiment and false
economy to keep their horse drivers at the
lower salary to operate their motor. These
