SIGNAL CORPS DOES
 WONDERFUL WORK
Army Experts Transmit All Kinds of News Over Large
 Area Instantly

SAN ANTONIO, Texas. April I9.-- Especial l-ln the army maneuvers going on here now, wireless teleg- raphy has played an important part. The third brigade is at Leon Springs, twenty miles noth west of this city. where the government has a large maneuverius grouni. By the use oi the wireless. General Carter, who is in command, has kept constantly in touch with what is going on. and this branch of the sigma service is demonstrating it's utility in a most emphatic manner.
 On the march to Leon Springs. ihe third brigade camped at the Linn farm. eleven miles from this city, and no sooner was this done than General Carter was informed of the action. In fact in three minutes after a stop was made, General Car ter had the information. In addition to this work by the wireless. hello graph flashes brought other informa. tion which was translated, put in written form, and transmitted t. the commanding general
 So far, it appears that the army signal corps is getting a greater share of the glory out of the man euvers. This division of the army service is proving conclusively that 1t is ready for action in time cf act ual hostilities with either flying ma chimes, wireless telegraph, or hello graph methods.

while the two or more bOdies-thc mex
pensive part-are being loaded or unloaded.
The new device is the invention OF Ralph
L. Morgan. designer Of tho Morgan truck.
The invention greatly expedites the load
ing and unloading Of the truck.
Mr.. Morgan says: The interchangeable
body system consists OF q truck chassis,
with two or more removable bodies and
portable loading slips. In operation the
truck backs into the slip with body
coupled TO the chassis. The act Of backing
automatically lifts the body of the chassis
and sets II on the track OF the slip. The
truck may then be instantly run ont, leav-
ing the body resting on the slip. ready TO
be loaded or unloaded. The chassis may
then be backed into an adjacent slip, pick
up another body by merely dropping in a
coupling pin and be on its way. The act Of
leaving one body and picking up another
takes less than a minute.
These slips are portable, and may be
moved to any part OF the factory or freight
yard by the truck itself in about the same
time It takes TO shift the bodies

been found that the life OF the chains is
thereby increased several fold. The cases
are readily locked and opened, so that the
chains within are accessible. Chain cases
are a feature found in only a few motor
trucks. a photograph Of a Sampson truck,
taken after few hours Of work on muddy
going, shows one Of the cases thickly COW

Adam was plloted by Chauffeur Fred

10 have as q feature" the very first ex-

was the only man in Newark, 80 far as Is
known. who is perfectly familiar with the
route between Washington and this city,
so Adam was entrusted 10 his care. He
brought Adam to New York without an ad-
diuOnal scratch. They encountered plenty
of mud on the roads between Baltimore and
Philadelphia, and were shoveled out twice.
For the long trip Adam was reinforced

OFF ON NONSTOP RUN
Loaded Three-Ton AICo Truck
Starts on Unusual Contest.

When the three-ton Alco truck. which
started at noon yesterday on nonstop run
reported at the garage OF the American
Locomotive Company ct o'clock last night
on the second round OF the route. 1t had
covered forty-four miles and had consumed
about eleven gallons Of gasolene.
Fred Wagner started the big truck Off
at exactly 1910 o'clock from the corner or
Madison avenue and 26th street. The Amer
lean Automobile Association granted a.
sanction for the contest, and the contest
board was represented by Al Comancho'
wearing the official purple brassard Of the
board
The observers appointed by the contest
board were Stevenson Pierce Taylor, Rob-
ert Jones and George f. Lowell Mr.. Taylor
took the truck under observation FOR the
first period OF eight hours. The observers
will each watch the performance OF the
motor for eight hours, day and night. The
duty Of the observer is 10 see that the
motor does not stop. The truck itself can
stop for fuel or for other causes, and the
motor is allowed a non-penalty stop for one
minute, but II II is stopped for longer
period than that the contest thus ends.
The drivers are divided into four shifts
They are Frank NORM, who began the long
contest; Louis Roaner, Howard Lane and

Last night, at the show of motor trucks
in Madison Square Garden the run was the
talk of the show. Many predictions were

ration OF the contest was the finding of
two horseshoes by the very first crew.
They came in at o'clock with the horse
shoes and proclaiming that they were sure
the run would be a long one.
The truck will report at the Garden at
each return to the centre OF the city. and

TRUCK THROUGH BRIDGE
But SIMPSONS Emergency De-
vices Pulled Motor Out Again.

Two trophies won on the same day are
being shown at the Motor Truck Show by
the Alden Sampson Manufacturing Com
pany. one was awarded TO the Sampson
four-ton freight motor, that won It's class
In the economy run in New York. Samp-
son four-ton freight motor captured the
other IN a durability contest between chi
cago and Milwaukee.
Both cups were won on October %
The victory i'm the New York contest is
ore Of the most interesting ever gained in
a motor truck run. Not only did the Samp-
son win in its diysion--the four-tOn class
where It had five competitors. but It made
a better economy showing than the entire
field OF thirty trucks, in seven divisions.
II made a record Of ooSS cents a ton mile.
The New York run lasted two days, sixty
five miles being travelled each day. The
course lay through crowded city thorough
fares and hilly country roads.
In Chicago durability, another important
reliability feature, was brought out in the
sampson's triumph. Tho course followed
was difficult 10 travel II was 2l1 miles IN
length
The sensation OF this run was the
"br,aen bridge" incident Eleven miles
south Of Milwaukee the Sampson while
crossing a bridge, ran upon some defective
planks and the rear wheels fell through.
With the wheels dangling In the air and
the weight ola good proportion Of an 5000
pound load handicapping the truck, chances
looked slim for pulling out Of this situa-
tion.
The differential lock- a unique feature OF
the truck that gives positive drive to both
wheels. and other emergency devices were
applied The truck pulled out Of the rut
by its own power.
This truck was two years old and has
been In constant use by a Michigan farmer.
II previously had travelled more than thr-
teen thousand miles. The victorious four
ton IN the New York contest was four
years old 1t was the second one built by
Alden Sampson. Both trucks were taken
from their everyday work 10 compete In
the contests Both were returned to their
regular duties after the run.

He bought many of

After he had built
four trucks he formed a

He was searching for

They hope as soon as

Here are some facts that prove it:

There are S4,OOO0OO worth of freight and deliv.

There is S1O00,0O0 invested in garages alone,
used solely for freight and delivery motors in
this city.
There are 5000 motor trucks in service in the
