IT MAY BE TRUEl

NEW YORK. Jan, 26.-That the an
nual awakening of the earth and all
living things on the approach of spring
is really due to bacterial action, is the
theory of Professor Muntz, of the
French Academy of Sciences, according
to advices from Paris. He asserts h a
the phehomena of springtime are the
direct result of violent germ activity
in the soil. due not to the increased
warmth of the suns rays, but to q
law Of periodicity inherent in the MI

NEW YORK Jan. 2j.-Dr. Samuel

Motor Cars Today
Are Near Perfection

Never will the automobile be better
made than 1t is today" says President
John N. Willys, of the Willys-Overland
Company. Motor cars are as near per-
feet as mechanical genius. human brains
and automatic machinery can make
them. They will never be made any
better because new wood will not be
grown, because the earth will never
yield up better ores, because cattle will
not produce better hides for upholster-
ing, and because human brains and
energy will never be at a higher de-
velopment than now.
when | say cars will never be better,
/ naturally am referring to those stand
ard makes which have been thoroughly
tested by the public, and which have
stood the acid test. or course, there
are many makes on the market that
could be greatly improved. but the
honest cars at honest prices are as near
perfect as is possible to produce them.
Future buyers of motor cars who
are waiting for standard makes to be
cheaper in price will never he motor
lists, as there is much more likelihood
of prices going upward rather than
down"

Adaptability of
Motor Trucks Proven

Adaptability Of the motor truck has
been demonstrated by the ever in
creasing field of work to which II is
subjected. Even in such lines where
1t would seem that the horse Is firmly
intrenched the truck Is rapidly fore
ing its way. An example of this is
the use of trucks by produce and
market gardeners.
II. A. Winheim has recently pur-
chased three-ton Gramm truck
which he is using on his truck farm
near st. Louis, Mo. His haul is about
twenty miles, and where he formerly
required several two-horse teams to
handle his produce, each of which
required the full day to make a round
trip. the one truck now accomplishes &
the work. The one truck not only
hauls all his produce. but 1T gets the
produce to market in a fresher condi-
tion and thus enables him to obtain
the highest prices. Another point in
favor of the truck Is that with it's
use the gardener can reach his mar
ket first and ahead of other dealers,
, who use horses.
The total cost Of upkeep and oper-
alton of this truck has been far less
than that Of the horses and wagons
which were required to do the work.
and which did IT less efficiently. The
truck has also shown itself to be
an excellent mud boat, and at no time
has II been unable to perform it's
duties owing to bad road conditions.

FOUR BIG FACTORS
ENTER into SALE
OF MOTOR TRUCK
Charles Semmes, of Congress
sional Garage, Tells of Fac
tors to Be Considered.

There are four all-important ele-
ments to be considered In the purchase
of motor truck" says Charles Semmes.
of the Congressional Garage. agent
for Wilcox trucks. THE first Is the
construction and record Of the truck;
the second Is the adaptability to the
particular duty required of 1t; the third
Is the permanency and responsibility of
the manufacturer, and the fourth IL
the facilities to give thorough service
after the sale.
Upon the construction OF the truck
depends it's record. A truck manufac-
turer who offers good product ought
to be able to give convincing references
a to it's performance. It's adaptability
also should be determined from these
references and the additional data the
manufacturer can give. The responsi-
bilitv of the manufacturer is easily as
certained.
That brings us TO the subject OF
service. Accidents may occur to trucks
as well as to horse-drawn vehicles. and
expert service should be as accessible
in the one case as Is the blacksmith or
veterinary surgeon in the other. Serv-
Ice in the motor industry means prompt
and skillful attention to the mechanical
needs of the truck. 1t should be backed
up with an organization that knows
everv nut and bolt in the truck. and Is
equipped with the parts to insure imme-
diate replacement"

MOTOR INSURANCE
HAS PROPORTIONS
Of BIG INDUSTRY
More Than 10000 Claims
Passed on Daily by the
Officers.

Automobile insurance, protecting the
owners of cars against accident, rob-
berry, and other hazards, Is now a high
ly specialized business. More than 10000
claims are passed on daily by the off,
GERS of the seventy-four insurance COM
panies, making up what Is known as the
Detroit Conference. Records on which
rates are based rival in degree OF COM
pleteness those accumulated in many
years Of life insurance history.
One Of the most interesting tables fur
nished the conference, at its annual
meeting, in Detroit a few days ago,
showed the percentage and variety Of
accident, arranged according to the
various makes of motor cars.
Strenuous efforts were made by sew
eral manufacturers to secure this table.
II was readily appreciated that the
manufacturer whose cars made the best
showing in the table would be fully
qualified to claim his product the safest
on the market. The insurance men re-
fused to allow such use of their private
Information, but the word was quietly
passed around that the Identity of the
true leader in the table would be dis
closed in an informal way before the
conference was over.
One Of the scheduled events of the
Detroit meeting was an automobile ride
which would carry the delegates around
Belle Isle. through part of the citys
manufacturing district and along the
shores Of Lake St. Clair, east of town.
1t was naturally inferred that the ex-
ccutive officers OF the big accident In
surance companies would pick for this
outing those cars which their table
showed winners of the safety leader
ship.
Detroit Hospitality.
Detroit hospitality was never more
freely offered. All the Detroit manufac-
turers offered cars for the excursion.
Offers were also made bv dealers rep
resenting manufacturers located else
where The conference virtually had
it's pick of the entire American field
The decision came in the form OF a
letter to the Studebaker Corporation
from Henry c, walters. representative
of the. conference. In It Mr.. Walters
reviewed the situation and stated that
with the safety tabulation playing the
star part in the choice, the members OF
the conference had expressed desire to
make the scheduled ride in Studebaker
cars
The cars were gladly supplied and
the trim made without incident. the
Studebaker 900 and "30' cars living up
to their tabulated safety regulations in
every respect.

experts is probably the first that has
ever been rendered a car in contest
where safety was the sole determining
factor.
