of mammoth structures that make up

pany of Toledo, o. 1t is the one that
is used by almost every other big
manufacturer for storing finished

ment," says ]. w. Leavitt company,
agent for the Overland cars.
The product has always been a
popular favorite, and, although the
company has doubled and trebled the
manufacturing facilities. it has never
been able to catch up with the de-
mand. Each year they have increased
the production, and this year they
will produce $4,000 cars of a single
model. yet the pressure at the fac
tory is just as great as ever. They
are shipping 200 cars a day right
now, and, If they could make them.
could ship double that quantity. The
time may come when the supply will
exceed the demand, but until 1t does
the factory will have little use for
storeroom at the factory.

TRUCK SPEED
FIGURED ON
A BASIS
Pierce Arrow Motor Car Com
pany Makes Many Com
parsons as to Speed

There is an idea in the automobile
world that light truck should run
very much faster than a heavy truck.
Some go so far as to say that truck
one-half the capacity of another should
go twice as fast
However, taking examples from
many analogous transport services. it
was soon found that the large ship
Travelled faster than the smaller one,
that the large locomotive travelled at
higher speed than the smaller one,
that large automobile travelled faster
than small and light one.
Even in the animal world this holds
good. The dog, used in many parts of
Europe as a means of hauling light
carts, is much slower than the DON
key. The donkey, in its turn, though
a lighter animal, is much slower than
the horse.
Of course. there are many excep-
tions to the above comparisons. such
as a speed boat or a racing automo-
bile-but of what use are arguments
for such exceptions to the rule, when
it is a well known fact that to obtain
this unnatural perfection in one di-
rection everything else must be sac
rifced?
This question of the speed of a truck
IS figured out on a scientific basis.
Among the many points considered in
reaching this decision is the weight of
the truck and the load it is to carry
Wear also is very important point,
for the rate of deterioration increases
on the square of the speed. This ap-
plies to tires, springs motor and also
TO the fatigue of nonwearing parts,
such as the frame members, axle
tubes, etc.
In addition to the above, the speed
at which a truck runs in traffic is

department of automobile statistics,
where all available information on
the automobile trade in California
will be placed at the disposal of the
firms patrons and visitors. The daily
records of automobile sales will be

cal form. showing just how much
money is being invested in autos in

MANY AUTOS
ARE SOLD
DAILY

This is the season of automobile
buying. Thousands of cars are being
bought and delivered each week, and
it seems to me the greatest problem
which confronts the buyer at this
time is not how to get car but how
to select the right car says Calvin
C. Eib. manager of the Pioneer Auto
mobile company.
Buying the right car is a matter Of
experience, whether your own or
some one else's doesn't matter. But
unless satisfactory experience is back
of the car you buy, you can not ex-
pect satisfaction in your own case.
.Since buying motor car experience
is pretty expensive, it is usually wise
to look up the experiences of others
who have used cars for one or more
seasons, especially those who have
experimental with several different
kinds of cars.

a collar. say, and if you didn't like
the first model it would not cost you

fourth or fifth, and the whole expert
ment would cost at most only a few
dollars. But it takes a very rich man
to experiment with automobiles, buy
ing car after car until he gets one
that satisfies in respect to appearance,
comfort, economy, convenience and
durability.
Many automobile buyers do ex-
perime1t-not because they want to-
and not because it is necessary. but
simply because they have not taken
the trouble to look up the experiences
of others.
II want to give a few simple rules
and each of them is backed by real
experience, for use in selecting
motor car.
I'm the first place. never buy a
cheap car. BY cheap / do not neces-
sarily mean low in price, though up

Gates the degree of excellence in a
motor car as in any other article"
The San Francisco call., 1913-11-22

Tt Is slowly dawning on consider
able portion of the automobile owners
that in each respective price list it is
the economical car that holds out the
strongest appeal to the greatest num-
ber of persons. The old idea that the
expense of operation or upkeep means
little or nothing to any one able to
afford an automobile of any sort is
being gradually dissipated.
with the realization is coming
keener appreciation of the truth that.

these brushes fail to make good con-

When the electric motor fails in

before the rest, and the two remain

Medical Inspection of Schools
Is Enlightening.
Eye Strain, Deeayed Teeth,
Poor Nutrition a Few.

Minneapolis, June 1e.-At today's
session of the American Medical as
sociatfon's annual convention the
house of delegates adopted a resolu-
ton extending the term of the secre-
taries of the various sections from one
year to three years
Leprosy is steadily increasing in the
United States, according to DIR. Rupert
Blue, surgeon of the United States
public health service. DIR. Blues ad-
dress told of the continued propaga-
ton and spread of the disease. The
doctor discussed the present state and
federal laws relative to the disease
and urged the advisability of govern
ment supervision. Measures for the
control of the disease and the care of
those afflicted are absolutely neces-
sary, declared DR.. Blue.
Medical inspection in the schools has
revealed many defects in the older
children who attend the public schools,
declared DIR. Walter S. Cornell of Phil
adelphia. The following are some of
the defects shown, according to DR..
Cornell:
Frequency of eye. strain. decayed
teeth, poor nutrition, fiat chest and
mental retardation among children.
DIR. Cornell said that the present
text books do not emphasize the re-
suits of eye strain, nasal obstruction or
the causes of squint, myopia. defective
hearing, dischargings ears, diphtheria,
scarlet fever. nervous disease, feeble
mindedness and decay of teeth. He
thought that future general medical
practice should include the subjects
just mentioned and consider home
hygiene ventilation, house cleanliness.
sleep, exercise, sex hygiene, diet, to-
bacco and alcohol. Inclusion of eye,
nose and throat into the field of gen.
eraI practice, was urged
y paper read by DR.. D. L. Richard

results of medical asepsis in the care
of patients suffering from so-called

the importance of avoiding contact in

transmission.
