NEW MOTOR TRUCKS
SEVERAL PECULIAR TYPES TO
BE EXHIBITED AT THE
{ N. Y. SHOW.

Not only will the conventional types
of four-wheeled trucks be seen dur
ing the Part II period of the 18th Ma.
tiona1 Automobile Show in Madison
Square Garden and Grand Central
Palace, which follows the passenger
car section, but front-drfve cars,
three and fve-wheeled trucks and
tractors and other new and modern
IDEAS in construction will be exhibit
ed.
There is one new 'front.' drive truck
which is so designed that it can be
built as a fore-truck 1t can be bolt
ed to any style or size of horse drawn
wagon or van and takes the place of
a team and the fore part of the run
ming gear, making a four-wheeled We
| hicle. While this construction makes
it possible to convert horse vehicles
into 1-2 ton self-propel1ed trucks, it
is not intended as a tractor PROPOSE
ton. The main object is to provide
vehicle in which the road is carried
mainly on steel tires, thereby cutting
down the annual tire bill by about
two-tfirds- Other advantages of the
system, however, are that there is no
machinery under the frame back. of
the seat and consequently nothing to
interfere with any special construc-
may be desired. The whole power
plant, transmission and drive mech
a,nfsm are com bined in unit construc-
ton with the front axle and wheels,
which have rubber tires.
Another novel exhibit will be
com binatfon hearse and casket wag-
on with plate glass windows draped
with broa dcloth curtains and remoY-
able carved wood panels. The lat
ter can be put up to cover the win
dows when the vehicle is used as a
casket car. The rear doors are
and there is a removable shelf ex-
tending the width and length of the
interior for use when funeral equip
ment is to be carried.
A three-wheeled tractor for con-
verting horse drawn fire apparatus,
and ordinary horse-drawn trucks into
power vehicles will be shown again.
This system has been found a great
economy in fire department service,
where the costly hook and ladder
trucks and long stand-pipes can be
utilized in a motorized department
simply by dispensing with the horses
and front wheels and axle. This
tractor idea is spreading. and several
leading truck makers nave furnished
contractors with trucks fitted with q
turn-table over the rear axle for the
front end of the load to rest on. This
turn-table takes the place OF the Attn
wheel, and can tip in any direction, so
as not to rack the vehicle or injure
the load. This arrangement is ees-
pecially useful for hauling long tim
Der or pipe.
The hydraulic drive will be a. unique |
exhibit, a chassis with the. rear wheels |
being raised and the drive mechanism |
operated slowly by an electric motor.
This will demonstrate how the oil |
pumps drive this powerful truck
shock and how a single small i
lever on the steering wheel serves to
give authorizations of speed and for I
ward and reverse motion.
These are but a, few of the unique /
exhibits to be seen in either the Pal
ace or Garden. OF course there will
be some novelties in extra heavy draft
trucks which follow the more conven-
Eona1 lines.

In the early history of the colonies there was emphasized what Edmund Burke characterized a s the fierce spirit of American Liberty" Many of the col oEists had left the old countries to get away trorp what they looked upon as the expressions Q If autocratic government and arbitrary power. They came to look upon the right of free thought, free speech, and the right to worship God according to the dictates of their own .conscience, as things to De prized more highly than life itself But with this idea of individual freedom there was another idea as deeply inbedded in their minds and as highly prized. That idea was the one which has been vital and controlling i1I the development Of Anglo-Saxon Civ ilization It is that individual liberty is not synonynmous with individual license, that true freedom must be accompanied by the exercise of self restraint, not only on the part of individuals but of peoples Not only must the individual bridle his tongue and defer his decision on matters with respect to which he is called upon to act until after his anger has subsided; but 2 community iii governing itselI must provide some check or safeguard whereby it may be able to control its temper and to defer it's judgment until such time as that judgment represents not temporary prejudice or passion but is the deliberate expression ot the cool, clear-beaded judgneilt ot the co1nniun- ity.

A MARROW ESCAPE.
Hancock County Hunter crawls into
~ : Bears Den.

While j. T. Giles. Albert Mace and L.
F. Giles, with ira Hagan. Jr, were sur
veying timberland last week in North
Mariaville, they ran across what Mr..
Mace claimed to be bears den. A
pine stump about four feet in diameter
stood on a sandy knoll, and under one
side Of this bruin had dug a hole near
ly the size of barrel, and after he
had got in under the stump, had dug
out den fully as large as a sugar
barrel, throwing out large mound of
sand.
Mr.. Mace is a skillful and veteran
bear trapper, having trapped 46 thus
far. and says he wishes to get four
more to make it go. After exploring the
situation for a few minutes, Mr.. Mace
ventured into the den, feet first.
After he had been in short time,
he set up terrible growl, and sang
out: Look out! He is coming!" At
the same time he came scrambling
out Mr.. Hagan, in the excitement,
not being so used to the woods as the
others, came near pounding him on
the head with a club he had provided
himself with before he approached the
den. Afterwards he said he wished he
hadj that fellow who would venture
into bears den ought to be pound
ed on the head. 1t was a narrow es-
cape for the bear hunter
Mr.. Mace decided that, inasmuch as
the den had been newly made, the
bear had prepared his den, and as soon
as it became cold enough he would
gather dry cedar bark, brakes and
leaves enough not only to make his
bed. but have enough left to plug up
| the entrance tightly. He also says
they are great weather prophets, stay
ing out till a few days before a Sc
we're storm which will be the real be-
ginning of winter.
Mr.. Hagan himself is some hunter,
for a few years ago, while running
lines in this same vicinity, he had the
skill to kill partridge with a club,
SO 1t is not probable that he would
have missed Mr.. Mace.-Ellsworth

CLERGYMAN IN TROUBLE.
Esstport, L. L., Minister Charged with
Bunny Hunting and Trespass.

New York, Dec. 25.-Here's a cler
gyman, the Rev w. E. Pettet, pas
tor of the Methodist church of East
port, L. l., accused of bunny (no; not
at all hugging) hunting, with trespass
included, and all because the rabbit
led the minister with E. P. Monroe,
the village school principal, and Will
liam NJ. Edwards, Frank Tuthill, Jr.,
and Harry Ketcham, three other of
the towns most respected and sub
stantial citizens, over the property of
Capt. W. H. Mott.
Capt. Mott has accused the clergy
man. the principal and the three other
T. and s. citizens of this dire offense
He charged them with the trespass
before Justice of the Peace Price at
Bellport, L. l., but the Rev. w. E.
Pettet ct al. say they're going to ap-
pear Jan. 3 with the best lawyer they
can find down thataway and put up
a goldinged (of course Rev. Pettet
didn't say goldnged) big legal battle
to prove that they were not trespass-
crs, or. if they Were, to ask the court
if he doesn't think that Capt. Motifs

The bunny hunting case at this sea-
son is the sensation of Eastport which
