Lake Geneva. 1t will be fitted with
Diesel engines of 1,4O0 horsepower.
Fischer Wyss & Co. at Zurich. are
building 200-foot tugboat for the Riv-
er Rhone in southern France.
In both cases the vessels after cree
ton at the works must be disassem-
bled and shipped in knockeddown
condition to the place of launching,
there to be reassembled.
The turbine-building firm of Fischer
Wyss & Co, Zurich, Switzerland, has
under way the largest Pelton water
wheel ever built. 1t is for Rio de ia
metro, in Brazil, and will develop 10000
horsepower. The head is $50 III. 1920

BIG FIELD FOR
MOTOR TRUCKS
They Are Helping Railroads to
Solve Transportation Prob
lem, Says Tire Official

1.-The future will no doubt find the
motor truck. when operated on first
class highways, is a means of solv-
ing the railroad situation" says G. w.
Martin. Jr.. manager of the motor
truck tire department OF The Good
year Tire & Rubber Co. Akron. Ohio.
The building OF railroads made
possible q wide distribution OF the
population and an expansion of agri-
cultural production. The rise In
manufacturing tended to hold great
populations within narrow confines
OF cities and towns and to attract to
them increases from the rural dis
tricts.
Railroads. too. were the means Of
bringing from distant points the ma
terials for manufacturing and also
food for the workers In manufacture
ing.
with nearly half the population
of the country living IN towns and
cities. the demands upon the rail-
roads for distribution Of materials Of
agricultural and mineral production
are increasing every year.
THE motor truck has demonstrated
its economy and utility and has sug-
gested comprehensive adaptation to
the needs OF the country. For In.
| stance, household goods can now be
moved from one town to another
with only two landings instead
| four.
There has been comparatively
| little effort towards the organization
Of motor truck service as a. definite
and important part OF the transpor'
tation system. However. when the
country Is equipped with the right
kind OF improved highways. organiza-
orally and profitablv
"The various truck tires that are
built for special service, will be
given a big boost. The demountable
cushion tire built for speed. the side
fiange tire for medium weight trucks,
and the solid demountable and block
tires for extra heavy haulage, will all
have a greater opportunity of display
, ing their qualities to advantage.
The motor truck, as ready
means Of conveyance between city
and country. may be expected, under
tho improved highways movement. to
check the migration of population
from farm to town.. In turn IL will
make farm lands more valuable
farm life more profitable.
"Secondarily, II will tend to draw
from the town life thousands who
herstofore have summed the country
because OF Its comparative isolation
Oreenization of motor truck service
should naturally bring about the
| creation Of new centers OF industry
and trade
