the darkness OF the early morning the
confusion, following the derailment OF
the menagrie cars was terrifying. The
country for miles around Is in a state
OF terror. Many az the farmers and
their families refuse to leave their
homes and take up the search for the
liberated menagrie beasts. Circus en-
ployees are beating the woods. haul
ing temporary cages with them, in an
effort to corral the animals.

Motor Delivery
Makes Expense
Very Much Less
Power Wagons Have Proven Them
selves Cheapest for Long Subur-
ban Trips from Cities.

Motor trucks are being used in increas-
ing numbers throughout the entire coun-
try, particularly by express companies and
business firms handling large quantities
OF goods, although the increase in the sale
of trucks has been much slower than dur
ing the corresponding development in the
history of pleasure cars, yet this increase
has been a steady and healthy one, which
can be taken as proof that there are good
and sufficient reasons why motor trucks
should be used in place of horses.
The very large number of motor trucks
now being operated by two or three OF
the large express companies Is a very strons
argument for the efficacy ana satisfactory
performance Of the motor truck for general
delivery purposes, yet many of our large
business concerns hesitate to adopt what
is to them a new and untried method OF
delivery. and few seem to realize the many
advantages for delivery over the horse
drawn vehicle which a modern, up-to-date
commercial vehicle possesses. or course,
IL is understood that there are, and will
always continue ~ be, peculiar conditions
pertaining to certain CLASSES of delivery
which win prevent the motor-driven truck
from showing to advantage over the horse,
but these are granted by most to be de-
ciGedly the exception rather than the rule.
Delivery In the4arger cities is becoming
more and pore of u difficulty owing 20
the enormous territory which has TO be
covered or a large and successful trade is
to be established. The range OF delivery
service has gradually become extended
until the horse has been found incapable
OF covering the necessary distances within
a day and is practically unfit for service
on tbs following day, whenever extended
routes are attempted. With motor trucks
these routes can be covered easily with
dispatch making possible an earlier delivery
OF goods in districts which previously did
not receive deliveries until the following
day. In some cases il has been found
necessary when horse vehicles were EN-
ployed to make use of railroads in trans
porting goods to a suburban district and
there either hiring local delivery companies
to handle the articles or else provide what
might be termed a substation OF the
main delivery service at that point. This
necessitated the packing OF the goods on
the wagons, unpacking and loading at the
station, removal from the cars and again
loading the wagon at the suburban station.
With motor trucks a single loading at the

DRIVING MOTOR CAR ATNICHT
Practice is Essential to the Successful
Use of Auto in Night Touring. !
RULES ON SPEED AND COURTESY
Cars should Not he Driven Mt Elk

circumstance.

Unless one has had considerable expert
enco In driving by night, n no matter
how we'll he may Know the road by day
light, he Is often utterly at a loss to
recognize familiar subjects and will even
pass the place to which he desires to go
without being aware OF II. when travelling
W. the same road after dark. Objects
by the roadside have an unnatural appear
ance and seem out OF proportions what
appears as a dark patch In the road may
be either a pool Of water or q depression.
and light colored objects by the side OF
the road may even be taken for the road
itself. The road, too. apparently, disap-
pears a short distance ahead and the au-
tOtst sets the brakes, only TO find himself
deceived. Due to the combination of deep
shadows and strong lights with the gen
erel gloom OF the night, all sorts OF OBJ
Jects created in h imagination seem 60
spring up. causing doubt and anxiety.
For comfortable n~ight-driving as well as
for the safety OF the car and its passen-
gers, powerful lamps are an absolute ne
cessity.
Recognition OF familiar objects and ac-
curate judgment Of Dad conditions can
only be acquired by practices. 1t is not
necessary, to aceustom ones self, to drive
night after night for periods Of from six
10 eight hours on a stretch, as such long
periods give rise to a high-strung and
nervous state on the part Of the driver.
The first drive should not take over an
hour, and the autoist should be accom-
panied by a companion familiar with
night-driving and the roads that are TO be
uaversed. This companion should point
out deceptive appearances and explain
their true character. and in general act
as an adviser. urnecessary. talking should
be avoided by both. as tending to distract
attention from the work IN hand. sub
sequent drives can be OF greater duration,
and on some OF these the companion
should not give instruction, allowing the
driver to take care Of himself, but acting
when an emergency arises. As a general
rule, no matter how experienced an au-
tOist Is In night-driving, there should be
someone in the seat alongside TO watch
the road. and the majority of drivers are
only too glad 20 have such assistance.

AUTO|ST ROUTs ROBBERS
WHO HELD UP MACHINE

Hopkins, a well-knoYn savannah auto
mobilist, has rust had an experience with
would-be highwaymen that almost tool
his nerve away. Mr.. Hopkins aives al
Isle of Hope, several miles from S1

six miles from Savannah. with his ma
chine going at fair rate of speed, Mr.
Hopkins was startled to have two met
armed with revolvers jump from a place
of concealment beside the road and poin
revolvers at him. They commanded hin
to stop his machine and throw up his
hands.
Mr.. Hopkins did not respond to the in
vitation to either stop or throw up bis
hands. Instead he steered his machine
at increased speed straight In the Dir
rection of one of the men. The move.
ment was so sudden the highwaymas
could not get out of the way and the
machine knocked him into the ditch. be-
side the road. Being rid of one of tho
unwelcome men. Mr.. Hopkins kept up hii
speed and went down the road at good
rate.
The other rebber seeing his intended
victim about to escape fired at the dis.
appearing auto several times with his
revolver. but happily did not hit Mr.
Hopkins or his machine. The bold at.
tempt at robbery on the highway ha.
caused the autoists around Savannah to
be more careful how they ride out alone
