IT'S THE MOTORTRUCK
THAT DOES FAST WORK
Facts Show that Contractor Who Does
Not Use Them Falls Behind More
Progressive. Competitor.

Success of the high-grade motortruck
in cutting hauling costs for contractors
in the past year or two has been 50
striking as TO affect seriously the ability
Of the contractor who does not use trucks
to meet the figures OF his more progress
i've competitor.
This is especially the case where a large
amount OF excavation is to be done under
circumstances where II is possible to use
a steam shovel and motortrucks, and
also upon contracts where large amounts
Of gravel, sand and other building ma
terial must be moved.
Figures supplied by a large number of
contractors who use motortrucks show
that the installation OF the trucks with
dumping bodies and often with trailers
have cut hauling costs for them TO the
extent OF $50 to $50 a day per truck.
1t is plain that on a job that requires
two or three months work a daily saw
ing of that amount will reach a total
which gives the truck-using contractor a
large margin OF advantage in the bidding
The result has been an unprecedented
demand among contractors for dumping
trucks. The situation is such that ciUse
observers Of the business believe that IN
a year or two all the work OF this na-
ture will be done by them.

HERE'S A RECORD TO BEAT.
This Great-Erandmother Delights in
Driving Her Own Car.

Thanks to advances made in equip
ment and the simpliicatiOn of control,
women can handle and enjoy the gaso-
line automobile with the same confidence
and freedom as men. The ladies began
to take more interest in driving when
an efficient self-starter was developed.
Gradually more and more of the fair
sex took to the wheel, and now even the
great-grandmothers are plotting cars.
The reference to the great-grand-
mother is not a rhetorical flourish but
sales fact for along comes c. c.
Bowers, Of the Cadillac Automobile
Company, Of Indianapolis, who reports
just such a state Of affairs in the fem
mime movement. The great-grand-
mother is Mrs. Ella Smith, of Indian
apolis, who bought a Cadillac and pro-
ceeded to give the entire family OF four
generations a ride. The four genera
tions included her son. W. H. Smith, her
grandson, H. r. Smith, and her great
Granddaughter, Mary Louise Smith.
Mrs. Smith enjoys driving her own
car, and says she does not find it diff
cult or taxing on her strength.

CRITICISM OF ARMY
SENSATION IN PARIS
Chairman of Senate Army Committee
Declares Field Artillery Is In
fenor to that of Germany.
MINISTER ADMITS 1T IS TRUE

Special Gable 10 The Washington Herald.
Paris, August 1.-The sensation Of the
hour is the severe criticism of the French
army made by Charles Humbert, chair
man OF the army committee in the SEN
ate.
NJ. Humbert said that the French field
artillery is becoming inferior to that OF
Germany.
"As regards the garrison artillery"
said the speaker. "our position is no
better. The garrison commanders have
for long time been asking in vain for
an increase in their stores"
NJ. Humbert declared the French man
ufacturers supplied the French army with
armored turrets which were inferior to
those furnished to foreign countries. He
said that the supply Of ammunition is
insufficient.
They are als6 short of 100000 pairs Of
boots. If war broke out, soldiers would
have to start for the front with no boots
but those on their feet.
At the present moment, moreover, there
Is only sufficient equipment to cross the
Moselle and the Rhine. The forufca-
tions of the forts from Toulon and Yer
dun have not been improved since 1875.
NJ Humbert concluded by saying that
the millions for which Parliament had
been asked for national defence had
been entirely wasted.

have kept the customs houses inviolate.
