"The automobile industry will in
the last analyses have to supply the
men TO man the trucks as well as the
trucks themselves. The number OF
trucks needed would depend on the
length Of haul rather than the num-
her Of men. or the amount Of supplies
TO be hauled. II is estimated that
there is nearly a thirty per cent saw
ing operating trucks thirty miles a
day as compared with horse haulago.

DRUGLESS HEALER
 LAWS ILLEGAL
Were Designed to Suppress Quack
 and Fake "CureS''

Washington, Dec. 20.-California so-called "drugless healer" laws. en- acted in 1913, were attacked as un- constitutional in two injunction suits of P. L. Crane, a Los Angeles chiro- practor, and Mrs. Kate P. McNaugh- ton, Los Angeles opthamologist. No Christian Scientists were parties to the suits, but have been watching them because of the statutes exemption Of Christian Science and other "prayer practitioners" from examination and licensing by the state medical board
 The laws, designed to suppress "quack' and fake" headers require osteopaths, neuropaths, chiropractors and other so-called drugless headers to have certain physiological knowledge.
 California federal courts refused to enjoin enforcement of the statutes under the sound discretion of the court,'' but without deciding their validity. In the supreme court, the state authorities contended it was not
 
 their constitutionality, but merely pass on the discretion exercised by the lower court, the California state courts having upheld the statutes and Crane and Mrs. McNaughton not hav- ing applied for licenses
 Exemption given Christian Science was attacked as unconstitutional in the injunction suits. It was contended that, the law gives Christian Scien- lists a monopoly in "prayer practice" discriminates against drugless prac- titioners of every school of drugless healing in favor of those using prayer only, is class legislation, and an ar bitrary exercise of the states "poIice powers"
 These charges were denied by the state authorities. The state supreme court had declared both laws a valid exercise of state police authority. The requirement upon drugless headers to have rudimentary knowledge of anatomy, hygiene, bacteriology, ma teria medica and other subjects was declared reasonable, for protection of citizens against treatment by persons without medical knowledge. Twenty-Five other states and terri ] tories it was said have similar exemp- 1 cions in favor of Christian Science and | other prayer practitioners. These are ] Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, , Kentucky, Massachusetts, North Da- lxota, South Dakota, Tennessee,
