A new worlds nonstop motor truck rec

established Yesterday morning when the
three a nd one half-ton Alco truck ended
336 hours Of day and night service without
the stopping OF its motor. This run, the
most extraordinary ever accomplished by
such a vehicle, came to a close at O'CLOCK
fourteen days after the truck entered non

Company.
IL was n performance crowded with many
thrills-almost continuous battle. with
snow. ice, rain and frigid weather. The
truck encountered and successfully over
came conditions that horses could not cope

When the run terminated an examination
was made for the first time Of the mechan-

NEW LEAGUE PROGRESSING

been continually on the road, looking after

The league had not decided at n late
hour last night which would be the eighth
city granted a franchise. Seven cities are
anxious TO acquire the eighth franchise.
namely Cleveland. Chicago, Philadelphia.
Buffalo. Baltimore, Louisville and Newark.
Two different parties have applications in

COMFORT OF CLOSED CARS
Almost indispensable in Cities,
Especially in Winter.

Those who live in large cities are prob
ably more in need of a motor car that lends
itself to winter use than residents Of small.
er places. Weather conditions, the absence
OF seighing and the ofttimes poor condition
of the streets make the possession OF car
with an nclosed body constant delight.
Those who have once enjoyed the comforts
and luxuries that go with closed body types
are seldom satisfied with anything else
Winter life In the large cities, TO a great
extent Is lived at night. The theatres are
at such a distance from the homes Of many
OF those who patronize them that town
car or Limousine is a great help In getting
to and fro. When the streets are covered
with slush horses slip and fall. peril that
Is overcome by the use OF motor car.
The owner OF a Garford closed body car
is always warm. Light and heat come from
storage batteries and there is no danger OF
contracting cold The uses OF a town car
OF the Garford type are almost innuner-
able. In shopping, in going TO the theatres
and to dances and dinners such a car can
be kept in constant use
