MOTORING IN
THE MOUNTAINS
Southwestern Scenery Has
It's Effect Upon a Bard
at the Wheel.

Somebody up in New York has evil
IDENTIFY been motoring down here among
the mountain scenery Of New Mexico ana
Arizona, Judging from the following
poem in the ew York sun;
Amt it great to be crazy when Octo-
ber's skies are blue,
And the motors whir sets the heart
astir
AS it holds to the roadway true!
The pines loom dark in the distant park
but the mauve and copper and
gold
OF the widowed streams that dart
their warming beams
AS the mountain sides unfold.
canyon looms below,
And the motor light cuts a pathway
bright
AS it CLEANS on the driven snow!
The spirit yields to the mountains awe
and night comes clear and cold;
And we rush along with jest or song
While the waning miles are told.
Amt it great to be crazy when the
ranch house light shines clear
And the day is done and we've made
the run
And find both warmth and cheer!
The good wife puts the kettle on, the
grooming board is spread
And with sizzling ham and raspberry
jam
The fainting face is fed.
Amt it great to be crazy when the
room is cold and damp
And we hit the hay at the close Of
day
By the light of a smoking lamp?
And curl up tight in a little wad and
think Of the day that's past
And the things we've done, or haven't
done,
And wonder how long twill last.
Amt it great to be crazy and get up at
When it's cold as-wel, I must not
tell
And pick a bunch Of sticks
To feed the fire that warns the girls
As they struggle into their clothes
and curls;
Then run to fetch the hot water can,
the same as a regular hired man!
Amt it great to be crazy as we climb
the main divide
And the good car strains as it slowly
gains
The pass to the further sidel
And we rest for a moment above the
clouds with the world and its
cares afar,
And touch for a space that unseen
place
Where our dreams and our visions are!
Amt it great to be crazy, I ask you,
tell me truei
To follow your will over plain and
hill?
If not, 1 pity you.
For fam would roam sometimes from
home with the crazy crew I like,
And be crazy too, the same as YOU
When you're off on a crazy hike.

DIFFICULTIES
PASSING AWAY
Not So Hard Now to Get a
Truck Driver as When
Autos First Game In.

Motor truck troubles, in the judg-
ment of business men who are giving
the problem close attention, decrease
in proportion as drivers are oDIalneo
who understand the plotting and care
of the cars
such drivers are far mere numerous
and far easier to get than they used 10
be, and with their increase is desSned
to pass large proportion OF lhe ul4I le
culties that attended the early Gays OF
the commercial vehicle.
Considering the youth Of the motor
truck industry the number Of skilleo
pilots now available is little short or
remarkable 1t is not to be forgotten
that a whole new race Of drivers had
to be developed Early in the industry
this lack Of trained men presented the
chief obstacle to the general adoption
of trucks
The men who understand street traf-
fic and all its problems had been
trained to the driving of horses, and
were in many cases not friendly to the
coming of a motor power that might
have the effect of retiring them from
their position. Even where there was
a willingness to serve, the lack Of
knowledge Of the gasoline engine and
the electric machine operated against
the success of many a good man.
The automobile chauffeur did not Of
fer the solution, for he had been
trained to the handling Of pleasure
cars. His weakness for speed was a
handicap. Moreover he lacked the
business knowledge which in many
cases is essential for the kind Of ser
vice the delivery man on the vehicle
must render to his firm.
Gradually came an Improvement,
gradual but sure A system Of In
speCtfOn was developed by many COM
panies to see that their machines were
getting the right kind of treatment
The driver was watched to see
whether he was getting the right mile
age from his expenditure Of fuel and
tires; whether he avoided the serious
faults Of overspeeding or overlooking,
and whether he was giving the kind
Of treatment that assures longevity.
A warning came to a driver who was
remiss in any Of these points and in
case his offenses continued. notice was
served to the owner that IL was in in
competent hands and that a change
would benefit the valuable piece OF
rolling stock.
In actual practice this system did
not work discOrd between driver and
owner or between driver and the com
pany that sold the car. The drivers
had made the discovery that their ma
terial situation was destined to be
greatly improved by the transition
from horses to power vehicles. They
could make more money and make 1t
in better hours and under more COM
Portable working conditions. So they
strOve to become efficient as quickly
as possible and welcomed the assist
ance Of the factory experts who could
show them the way.
The cooperation steadily improved
conditions. It also shifted the blame
for occasional remissiOns of the ma
chine 1t was found that in the hands
Of the skilled driver a machine would
bring results. Failures could usually
be traced to the greed of the owner
in abusing the machine by overspeed-
ing or overlooking, or to the ignorance
OF the driver.
The crop Of good drivers grows
daily The demand is producing the
right kind of men
