AUTO PROVES ITS
VALUE IN SNOW
HauIs Heavy Loads When Traf=
fic Is Blocked in New
York Streets
By R. R. L'HOMMEDIEU

The value of power driven wagons
and trucks was demonstrated in New
York during the recent snowstorm.
While horses found difficulty in max
ing progress with heavy loads through
the deep snow. gasoline commercial
vehicles made their regular trips prac-
tically without loss of time. In many
cases where both horse drawn and
motor driven systems of delivery were
employed all the work was performed
by the latter when conditions were at
their worst. In one case FIVE ton
truck in the service of large brewery
concern made six deliveries of six tons
EACH or total of sc tons within 10
hours, travelling through the drifted
snow in the teeth of a gale, total
distance of nearly 80 miles.
The step taken by the supervisors in
the adoption of a resolution declaring
the road between Santa Monica and the
boundary of the Malibu ranch a county
road is a step also in the construction
of the proposed automobile boulevard
from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara.
The strech of road in question, approx
imately 10 miles long, is one of the
most beautiful scenic drives in the
southern part of the state. Although it
has been used for some time by the
public it runs almost entirely through
private land, owned by a number of
Santa Monica and Los Angeles resi-
dents.
The second annual international road
congress is scheduled at Brussels dur
ing the week beginning July 81. Tie
subjects to be discussed by the dele
gates are to be divided into different
sections dealing with the construction
ana maintenance of roads in towns and
in the country, the effect of different
q of VI 10 iT..af
taces, and road signs.
Last week during the severe cold
spell the racing driver Arthur See. with
Berry Rockwell visited the Rockland
lightship, which is located about three
miles from Tarrytown in the Hudson
was about seven inches thick, from
Tarfytown and return. The ice on both
sides of the river at this point was
thick enough for automobiling and
sleighing.
The bureau of manufactures at Wash
ington is in receipt of a letter from a
party in Asia Minor relative to the
establishment of a society for the ex-
ploitation of automobiles.
The standard unit of motors is the
power capable of raising $4,000 pounds
through one foot in one minute. The
only relation 1t bears to the muscle
power of a horse is rather historical
tnan metric. Boulton and Watt COM
puted the work done in eight hours by
the horses working on the drays of the
London brewers. and thus arrived at
their estimate of the power of an abb
stract average horse. To the horse the
horsepower bears the same relation as
the foot of the linear measure does to
the human foot.
Drivers who are troubled, by the
drumming of the wind in their ears
when travelling fast and who do not
care TO adopt the ear rolls and helmet
OF the racing drivers will find the fol-
lowing suggestion an easy way out of
the difficulty, especially if needed at
short notice: Procure a piece of rub
Ter hose about three-quarters of an
inch outside diameter and five inches
long, which cut in two. At one end of
