EXIT THE ARMY MULE;
enter MOTOR TRUCKS
Blatant Protest of Lons-eared Equine
Is Succeeded in Mexico by the
Honk of Auto Horn.
STAND HARD TEST ON BORDER

The army mule. dear to the hearts of
civil war veterans, is no more. In place
Of the blatant protest OF the long-eared
equine comes the chug. chug Of the motor
truck. Instead Of the crack of the black
snake, and the violent but picturesque
language of the mule drivers, comes only
the honk OF the auto horn.
When the Mexican situation made II
necessary for Uncle Sam TO send men
and war supplies to the border. motor
trucks were the means employed.
Out of Los Angeles. headed southwark.
truck, loaded to its capacity and trav-
cling under orders to make the trip in
the best possible time.
This truck was detailed for duty be-
tween San Diego and Techarte. The trip
from Los Angeles to San Diego was any
thing but a pleasure drive, through the
deep sand Of the low places and across
the stretches of rock coast. where the
roads were little more than rough trails
hewed out of the rocky surface. The
broad Firestone solid tires. however kept
the truck moving right along. Even In
the deep sand the dual tires in the rear
held the wheels well to the surface. When
gravelly stretches were crossed, where the
rolling pebbles prevented a firm grip on
the trail. the resilient rubber found a
grip somehow. In spite Of all handicaps
the trip from Los Angeles to San Diego
| a stretch of 1ts miles, was made In thir-
teen hours. Some difference between this
and the tedious. drawn-out overland
trips in the days OF the army mule.
Stopping for a short time only at Sar
Diego, they proceeded eastward alons
the Mexican border. During the FIRST
three days OF service the truck covered
100 miles.
AN examination was made at this time
and the tires showed little wear after
this three days of strenuous usage

FATE OF GOOD ROADS
BILL IS UNCERTAIN
Democrats Will Have Trouble in the
Fall Elections. Says A. A. A. Of
fetal if Measure Is Delayed.
DELAY MEANS LOSS OF VOTES

That Congress will adjourn and 20
into the fall elections without grasping
the opportunity to win overwhelming
popular approval by the enactment OF
Federal road legislation seems unbeliev-
able" is the comment OF DR.. II. NJ. Rowe,
of Baltimore. FIRST vice president and act
ing president of the American Automo-
bile Association during the European alb
sence Of John A. Wilson, OF Franklin.
Pa.
'Rumors are ahoat, however. that good
roads legislation will be laid on the table
at this session OF Congress, through a
declination on the part of the Senate
Committee on Postoffices and Postroads
to report the measure, which overwhelm-
ingiy came to Il from the House II this
is the case. the Democratic party is dis
regarding a chance to achieve a brilliant
strategic advantage in the coming cleo
ton.
The voters in the rural districts are
aid to roads. They are expecting and
demanding such aid. Such opposition as
exists is feeble and half-hearted.
Tariff legislation, currency reform,
canal tolls antitrust bills. are all storm
centers Of discussion, but however i'm
portant may be the policies advocated by
| the party in power, they are far removed
from the direct interests of the people.
and in effect create only targets for the
fire Of the opposition. To neutralize the
attack which is sure to come, the party
in power should not overlook this golden
chance to win the affection and SUPPORT
| of the country voters.
IF the Democratic party passes up this
opportunity there will be many an anX-
] ious moment for the stump speaker when
he tries TO explain why, in all the multi
tude of legislative enactments, good roads
were overlooked.
1T is better to deal with the situation
now from the standpoint OF good politics
than to wait until after adjournment, for
then 1t may he that all the Kings horses
and all the Kings men can't put Humpty

FRANK E. Smith known.
BUSINESS DOCTOR
WelI-known Figure in the Automobile
World Wins Success in His Chosen
Work of Aiding "Aihns."
ORIGINAL IDEAS WIN PRAISE

Frank E Smith, one Of the best-known
men IN the automobile industry, is cred
ited with having produced a system OF
business "doctorinE' that is winning him
success and praise. Smith is called a
business diagnostician." He has had
considerable experience in rebuilding
rundown businesses and in solving many
complicated business problems. He has
also a good record in the capacity OF
receiver for different concerns, all OF
which has equipped him for his speciality.
In discussing his original ideas and
plans Mr.. Smith says:
big business suffers as many ills as
the flesh is heir to and perhaps in more
acute form. It is the duty OF the busi-
business Ills. OF course, to anticipate
and head of such troubles before they
become chronic is OF first importance.
But there are a multitude of business
Ills that are daily developing and weak
ening the strength of the victims until
they are 'downed.'
THE business diagnostician must be a
} man of practical experience. He must
also be a diplomat. His work must be
constructive, he must inspire confidence
and in a short time cure the Ills that
took a long time in growing. He must
eliminate all gUesswork and must show
progress from the start"

extravagant administrations OF large

the tired heads Of many large bushes,

that their business has outgrown them
and is no longer a 'one-man proposition
and that the profits are not increasing
with the volume of business, because
they have failed to build up around them

what they have started.

in the event.
Among the contestants was George B.
Dryden. a director in the c. A A. Mr..
Dryden had never been in a reliability
run. and. doubtful Of his ability to handle
a car under such conditions was about
to decline to participate. At the last
moment, however, he elected to pilot his
Cadillac coupe.
So well did he drive and so satisfac-
torily did his coupe perform. that Mr..
Dryden not only earned a clean score,
but satisfied himself that his coupe was
fast as any OF the machines in the

turn from Peoria Mr.. Dryden had the
laugh on the other contestants because Of
the hard rain that fell.
At the banquet following the run. Mr..
Dryden was voted a medal as the only

tory in a two-day reliability contest
traversing 100 miles.
