METZGER COMMENTS ON
JAPANESE I'm HAWAII

Senator Delbert E. Metzger is Quot
ed as follows in the San Francisco
press on the Japanese land situation
in Hawaii:
ALLEN land legislation is not new IN
the Hawaiian islands Our people
were the first to realize the Japanese
situation and took fair and timely
measures to meet it.
1T is a matter of fact in Hawaii that
there is but a comparatively small
disposition on the part or the native.
born Japanese to avail themselves Of
the opportunity of American citizen
ship. There are so natiye.born Japan
csc in Honolulu who are eligible to
citizenship, but only Is of them have
embraced the opportunity
ct has been my observation that
Japanese are absolutely loyal to Their
own government and do not take to-
the opportunities of becoming Ameri-
can citizens or permanent residents
even when the opportunity presents
itself"

Motor trucks have been found "
dispensible in the construction of a
new reservoir which will help supply
Bridgeport, Conn.,, with water tits
the largest reservoir in Bridgepofs
Water System, and will when finisied
contain Az billion gallons of waite.
A concrete dam stretching acoss
one end of valley and formini an
artificial lake over q of a milelong
was the only construction. 1t S 81
feet high at its highest point. 1850
feet wide, and was one and oIe-half
years in building. 1t would haze TAX
en- much longer if motor trucs had
not been used to transport ne ce-
ment, crushed stone, machiney and
supplies used in the constitution of
this dam.
About heavy duty truos were
used Two of these were Lcomobile
five ton trucks. These tru6s made
a record so satisfactory to tie Bridge
port Hydraulic Company, il charge
of construction, that they nave plir-
chased two more of the SAFE make.
The two already in sevice have
aggregated 400 working avs in
period of nine months They have
averaged 5215 miles per day each,
with an average load of 81 tons, max
ing three trips per day.
The cost of operating hese trucks
! was $13.25 per day each or 80 cents
per ton mile, every co!cei9able eX-
pense included. Gasolile tires, driv-
er,s wages, garage hire depreciation
and repairs But Their, were no re-
pairs.
This record is phenomenal because
of the poor roads oyr which these
trucks have operated. n many places
they could hardly be called roads at
all. they were mere Stretches of mud
and sand in which tie wheels often
sank up the hubs.
The Bridgeport Hurauifc Company

BAD ROADS HAVE
N ADE GOOD
AUTOS

ut is curious, said Frank E. Howes,
leading automobile dealer today,
that these bad roads about which
Americans complain so bitterly, are
really one of the causes for the shpe.
riority of American automobiles. Ii
we had smooth, solid highways it is
quite possible that our, present mar
velously efficient automobiles would
not have been produced.
American designers and builders
have been forced to produce cars that
would stand an incredible amount Of
punishment. Today we look with only
passing interest on records of travel
over roads that few European cars
would dare attempt.
Take case just heard about One
of our patrons, H. f. Alexander, ,1resi.
dent of the Alaska Pacific Steamship
Company of Tacoma, who drives one
If our new Hudson "sixes," has just
returned from a tour that took him
through Washington, Oregon and Cali
fornia down into Mexico. In this trip
he met all kinds of roads, from the
smooth wonderful oiled boulevards OF
southern California, to the sand of the
Mexican deserts and the rocks OF the
many mountain passes.
THE party consisted OF seven per-
sons. with their baggage and necessary
equipment, which was no small load
even for big. powerful car.
Yet throughout the entire trip OF
about 1900 miles, over probably as va
ried road conditions as can be found
in the entire world this well-designed
American car expen enced not the
slightest difficulty. A small amount of
tire trouble was absolutely all that
was encountered

train from Cincinnati. These vehicles,
with the large battery. of Packards
owned by the National Cash Register
Company, formed the backbone of the
transportation outfit used in relief
service.
Dayton streets were choked with
wreckage and debris. With all other
methods of transportation rendered
useless, necessity demanded motor
trucks and they made a magnificent
response.
The Packard trucks worked in wa
ter so deep that 1t was necessary to
cover the radiators to avoid flooding
the engines. In the stress of continu-
GUS emergency work, the trucks re-
ceived no mechanical attention. 1t was
a situation that called for 100 per
cent efficiency and the Packards met
this demand.
Sixteen hundred dead horses and
many carcasses of other animals
were renowned by the Packard
trucks within period of three days.

An official nonstop run, 300 hours long,
was completed Friday morning, May
10Th, by standard Packard "98" motor.
It was announced BY the Automobile
Club of America, New York, as a 200
hour test. AT the erd of that period the
motor was running so smoothly that it
was continued in operation for 100 hours
more. This more fhan doubles the best
previous record of 132 hours, made four
years ago in England.
The motor maintained aspeed of 40 revolutions per
minute. Measured il road performance it pulled
the 1873" car with fill load at speed Of 37.46
miles per hour, over RAIDS heavy enough to demand
wide open throttle In 300 hours it rolled up
