NEED OF EFFICIENCY
In AMERICAN CARS
Clement Studebaker, Jr., Says Auto
mobile Manufacturers of This
Country Have Problems.

How to make the automobiles OF the
present not more beautiful, not more
powerful, not more durable but more eff
ficient is the task which every American
designer and manufacturer must tackle
right speedily" declares Clement Stude-
baker, jr.
I'VE have the beauty, the power, the
durability. and We have them all at an
amazingly low cost in the typical popular
priced American cars But American
standards OF efficiency are still below
those which prevail abroad, especially in
the cases of the leading costly types.

SUGGEST LEGISLATION
FOR ORIOLE STREETS
Said Auto Club Of Maryland Is Con-
sidenng Making Fight for
Protective Bill.
WIDER TIRES AS PROTECTION

THE solution OF the problem which is
so seriously affecting the truck industry
In Baltimore. is State legislation requir-
ing larger tires" says c. w. Martin,
manager of the motor truck tire depart
ment, the Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Company, Akron, Ohio.
City Engineer McCay should have
proposed a law prohibiting the overload
ing Of motor trucks instead of suggesting
that motor trucks be barred from certain
streets in Baltimore.
THE motor truck. with its wonderful
and unparalleled growth, has become an
economic necessity, and such restriction
would work hardship on society. II there
were legislation requiring that a certain
width tire should be used to take care
Of the load. there would be no danger of
cutting up the streets.
"Overloading is the most serious prob
rem that confronts truck owners today.
The evil is so prevalent that would not
be at all surprised to see some such bill
at early sessions of State Leg
islatures. Such a bill, beyond a doubt,
will be passed wherever presented with
out question, as its logic is plain and dis
tinct
1T is rumored that the Auto Club of
Maryland already has some such project
in mind.
Providing such a bill Is passed. the
question will easily be settled, with
great advantage gained by all parties
Not only will the city be
saved the extra expense Of repairing
streets that have seen the use OF heavy
and overloaded trucks, but the legislation
also will be a benefit to the truck owner.
Trucks with the proper size OF tire equip
ment aid materially in prolonging the
life of the motor, while the tires will
undergo the wear and tear to which
they are subject, with a much less detri-
mental effect.
'In Porto Rico. where they use carts
and wagons to transport sugar cane, the
government regulates the width Of the
wheels In other words, the breadth of
the iron tire must be in proportion TO the
weight and capacity OF the wagon"

Unique Motor Trip Across Desert.

One of the smallest cars that has
ever been driven across the desert fig
ared in a unique run recently when
DR.. II. A. Hughes, a prominent physi-
clan of Phoenix, Ariz.. drove his 1908
Franklin. roadster to Los Angeles and
return. The route led across the IA
nous desert race course. where yearly
the big racing cars have their hard
ships. and yet the run was made with
out the slightest Inconvenience by the
little old Franklin. Even the dreaded
Mammoth Wash and the deep desert
sands were crossed with ease, and DR..
Hughes says that the desert no longer
has any terrors for him and his Frank
lin.

small loan Of $25 600 000 granted it by
American financiers practically on
terms of their own.
The enlargement Of the German
standing army is a matter in which
the allied power Of Austria Hungary
feels the deepest interest The Aus
trian press devotes as much space to
its discussion as to its own national
affairs. Ii iE not true, as a French
paper stated, that Germany's peace
footing will soon show S65, ,000 men
10000 is the figure.
The explanation of these unusual
measures lies in the fact that Emperor
William and those near him believe
the rise OF the Balkan powers means
further strengthening Of the Triple
Entente, since Bulgaria, Servia and
Greece gravitate toward Russia and
her two allies, and that by the fact
that the hitherto maintained European
equilibrium is being seriously dis
turDed and that complications are
bound to arise from this which may
threaten the world.
Meanwhile the aged Emperor Fran
els Joseph, although on the verge OF
eighty-three, is keeping his health But
he has TO be mighty careful, avoiding
risks OF every sort. He looks stronger

Francis Ferdinand, the heir to the
throne, has been here at the chateau

is a man who loves the army and de-

point of view. He is very devoted to
his "morganatic" wife, the duchess
Sophie Of Hohenberg. and to their
children.
A saying OF Francis Ferdinand's boy,
a NOungster Of twelve or so, is in the
months OF ofticialdom IN Vienna just

sends him to public school in this

LAWSUITS PROMISED
"JOkER" FOUND IN THE SALOON
BILL PASSED BY THE 1909
LEGISLATURE.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capitol City, the Various
State institutions and From
Many Different Parts of
the Sunshine State.

Sioux Falls.-Attorney General Roy
al c. Johnson, who has been in Sioux
Falls several days on business con-
nected with His office, makes the an
nouncement that a Joker has been
discovered in the saloon bill Of 1909,
known as the Dillon bill, it having
been introduced by Senator Dillon of
fankton county, who now is one of
the congressman from South Dakota
The attorney general claims that an
amendment which was defeated in
both houses of the legislature has in
some mysterious manner found its
way into the bill as engrossed and as
signed by the governor. 1t also is
claimed that the journals Of both
houses Of the legislature show that
the bill was passed without the amend
ment complained of.
The state supreme court has held
that the law prior to the Dillon bill
made it necessary for the affirmative
side of the liquor license vote to Sc
cure a majority of all the votes cast
at the election at which the matter
is submitted, and not majority of
the votes cast on the liquor question
The Dillon bill aimed to change this
so that simply majority of the votes
cast on the liquor license question
would be all that would be required
10 have city or town declared wet.
The four words, voting on the
proposition have in some unknown
manner found their way into the bill
between the time it was entered on
the journal and the time is reached
the governor.
Attorney General Johnson an
nounces that he will hold that the
journals are the best evidence in the
case and that it will stand ahead of the
engrOssed bill
This probably will mean number
of lawsuits throughout the state, as
several attorneys hold that the en-
crossed bill as signed by the governor
is the exhibit that should maintain.

NEW POTATO EXPERIMENTS
Potato Growers Should Use Larger
Seed Pieces, College Says.

Brookings-Theb bulletin on pota
toes being sent out by the experiment
station demonstrates the advantages
of using large seed pieces rather than
small ones in planting. The potato
grower who plants selected tubers
rather than culls is likely to secure
as much as 20 to 2S per cent greater
crop than the grower who is not care
ful in seed selection. The professor
in. the agronomy department Of ne
college carefully worked out all the
tests made in the bulletin in last sum-
mer's crop, even to the hoeing Of the
potatoes. Boiled down in few
words the bulletin states that planting
large seed pieces:
l. Produced higher yield of pota-
toes per acre.
2. Produced larger potatoes.
8. Produced potatoes of more uni
form type-and gives the figures to
prove it.
