Big MOTOR TRUCKS
FOR USE OF ARMY
Gen. Wood Sees Advantage
Over the Army Mule.

The perfection of the present-day motor
truck is going to make it pretty hard
for the army mule to retain his long es-
tablished position il the military world
is the belief of Mai. Gen. Leonard Wood,
Chief Of Staff. Gen. Wood believes that
the time is near at hand when the bag
gage and equipment of the army will
be transported on motor trucks. In fact,
the old time friend of the army is being
superseded to a certain extent on the
Mexican frontier at this time.
Gen. Wood was a visitor at the aero
nautical and motor truck show now be-
ing conducted at the Exposition Building,
North Capitol and NJ streets, Saturday
afternoon. He did not spend all his time
viewing the aeroplanes. as had been ex-
pected. On the contrary, he closely in
spected the large assortment of motor car
trucks. obtained data concerning their
qualifications for military use, and made
mental notes of everything he saw.
1T is just a question of whether the
army wants its equipment and supplies
transported at the rate of three miles
per hour or fifteen miles Per hour" Gen.
Wood said. There is no doubt but what
our old friend, the army mule, is des-
tined tn serve but very few years more
in the service.
TT is said to be a fact that the oper-
ating expenses of a motor truck are no
greater than the expenses of caring for
a team of mules. The trucks cover five
times as much distance in a day as the
team of mules. and under careful con-
troll will last for months.

At a meeting of the beard of governors
Of the National Bowling Association at
Buffalo n. Y, yesterday the paramount
subjects were the location of the lSl2
tournament and the question OF abolish
ing the loaded ball These were thor
oughly discussed, and it was the consen-
sus of opinion that no good purpose
could be served by immediate action
thereon.
Approaching the Importance of the load
ed-ban question, the wide diversion of the
ideas thereon, il was deemed inadvisable
to enact any definite legislation until a
committee named to thoroughly investi-
gate the matter from every standpoint
should report at the next meeting of
the board of governors. The committee
consists OF Messrs. William Cordes, of
Brooklyn, y. Y; Z. W. Pierson, OF New
ark, n j.. and F. ]. Maier, of Roches-
ter, y. Y
Another committee was named to in
vestigate the bowling conditions in Wash
ington and to report its findings at the
next meeting of the board. A strong SEN
timent in favor OF Washington prevails
among the entire board. anS after the
perfecting of preliminary details there
is little doubt that the 1912 national bowl
ing tournament will go to the National
Capital. This committee comprises G. H.
Prior, of Baltimore, Nd; F. w. Wood
worth, of Brooklyn, n. Y: NJ J. Costa
of Philadelphia, Pa, and William Kirk,
the president Of the association.
