GREAT FUTURE FOR
WELL MADE TRUCKS
War Has Furnished Lessons
and Opened Up Markets in
Astonishing Manner.

An effect 81 the war upon the motor
truck industry promising nm influence
far more permanent than those generally
discussed concerns the organization by
truck makers of their plants for large
scale production.
The obvious influence Of the war In
this regard has been OF course the
sttr ulation of domestic and foreign
markets through the demonstration OF
efficiency made by American trucks IN
military service. the rising cost of
horses and the general revival OF do
nestle business. These factors have
compelled numerous manufacturers to
produce in heavy volume. and the In
creased production has held vehicle
prices steady despite the exceptionally
high material markets.
This stability In price has in turn
extended the market for the trucks them
selves. If this market continues 20 grow
at its present rate It may be expected TO
establish the business definitely on n
large scale basis. The probable result
will be that the cost of truck operation
will he cut 80 far below that of horse
hauling ON most jobs hat hors" equip
ment will bc regarded everywhere as
obsolete.

There are two ways OF cooling the
Gasolene type motor. One is by air the
other Ia by water. Each employs differ
ent methods. For instance. h air
cooled motor may use the forced air
system whereby the air is drawn through
Jackets abou the c~ycllnder. or the ordi-
nary system as employed on the motor
cycle. whereby the cooling enect de-
ponds upon the forward momentum Of
the vehicle. In water cooled motors
there are two methods also. namely.
the thermo-siplion system and the force
feed system. Each Is used extensively
20 advantage.
Before discussing In detail the meth
eds used 1t seems best 10 give some ex-
PLANTATION as TO why cooling is neces-
sary. The efficiency ~ a gas engine de-
ponds upon the number OF heat units
converted into useful work. When a
charge VI gas is drawn into the cylinder
and compressed by the upward stroke Of
sisson it is ready for the spark. When
ignition takes place tho charge burns
very rapidly and the resulting expansion
forces the piston outward. cnecting the
power stroke. Considering that sew
eral hundred or more Of these explo-
0ions must take place within the cylinder
each minute, one may readily appreciate
the necessity for the cooling system. II
some method Of cooling were not en-
einvaA phri..4tian IF tho marta would
be impossible. The piston and I'M
would seize within the cylinder and
score the walls. Likewise. bearings
would burn out. Even though the best
grade OF lubricating oil were employed
this seizure Of the metals could not BE-
prevented.
It 10 true that q gas engine develops
IT. greatest efficiency when hot. there
fore the necessity arises for q well de-
signed cooling system which will not
permit the motor to become cverheated
nor absorb too much heat. thereby de-
tractinc power.

While the air cooled type has many
good features. nevertheless IL has not
been universally adopted. Simplicity of
construction and less weight are advan-
tages. Also in zero weather there is no
possibility Of freezing. TIL latest
method of air cooling Is TO force the air
by means Of a fan or fly wheel through
an air Jacket about the cylinder. This
system has proved very efficient. espe.

ther that the suspension of Transports
ton for time will not be felt at the
plant because their outgoing shipping
is about over for the season and the
incoming goods are carried in suffi-
cient quantity for about sixty days.
T. H. Foster, manager of John Nor.

of strike the plant may have to sus-
pend business owing to the inability
to get hogs and cattle shipped in and
fresh and cured meats shipped out as
the company depends on the roads for
the delivery of the live stock and the
shipping of the products from the
plant.
An embargo was placed by the local
roads on certain classes of freight,
some of which will not be received for
delivery after September 2 and some
will be affected by the embargo i'm
mediately. The Burlington announced
this morning that on all live stock and
perishable freight that will not reach
its destination by September 2. the
embargo is effective on its lines and
for lines connecting with this road.
The embargo is effective immediate.

Chicago Needs Coal

Chicago, Aug. 30.-That Chicago
may suffer from famine in few days
in event of railroad strike. despite
the fact that food enough to supply the
city for two years il stored hero, 10
claimed by railroad chiefs.
Coal dealers say that the city's coal
supply would be exhausted within five
days if shipments are stopped. The
cold storage plants, where immense
quantities of perishable foodstuffs are
kept, depend on coal to generate pow
er for theii' refrigerating plants. Lack.
ing the power, the food stored In those
warehouses would quickly spoil.
Unless coal shipments continue the
city pumping plants would be forced
to shut down and the city's water sup
ply would be shut of.
The embargo on the shipment OF
live stock and perishable goods may
result in shutting down the packing
plants at the Chicago stock yards
This would affect $4,000 employees by
the packing companies.
Live stock shipments from Illinois,
Iowa and other middle western points
to the Chicago yards would be mate,
ially affected.

good shape to Withstand the hardships
that the threatened railroad strike will
impose.
Some state that they do not expect
a break between the roads and their

for a possible suspension Of transpor-
tation service. The bigger concerns in
Ottumwa that use much fuel are either

so or have their orders In for coal

the event Of national railroad strike,
officials Of the Union Stock Yards, the
worlds largest cattle market, said to-

Because Of the heavy demand for
foreign export and the unusually heavy
domestic demand, the packers have

Chicago. Aug. 80-Slason Thomp-
son, director of the bureau of railway
news and statistics, said today that
figures only could attempt to present
picture Of the immensity of a strike
such as that threatened by the railway
brotherhoods.
"A strike would affect railway oper-
alton on 100000 miles of main track
and over 100000 miles of all track,
which includes auxiliary tracks, yard
tracks and sidings," he said. "The
companies operating this mileage own
over $4,000 locomotives, $1,000 passen-
ger coaches and 100000 freight cars
over three and three quarter billion
dollars.
THE net railway capitalization in
vo1ved is about @16,500, 100000, or
about one-eleventn of the entire
wealth of the United States"
Mr.. Thompson said that the human
elements involved include more or
less directly the peace, happiness and
daily subsistence of q people number
ing, according. to the latest official es-
Inmates, 1o2,574,000; the investments
of over 100000 owners of railway
stocks and probably as many more
holders of railway bonds and the
wages of some 100000 employees
whose yearly compensation amounts
to something like $1,4O0,OOO. .000."
The freight movement in September
and October, Mr.. Thompson said, is
always the heaviest of any period of
the year; that normally nearly one.
fifth Of the entire freight trahic of the
year is condensed into these two
months.
THE freight revenues of all the rail-
roads of the United States In Septem-
Der and October, 1916" he continued,
amounted to over $41S, 1000, 900 and the
promise for the two months in 1918
was for well over $3.50 100000 Of
which the share Of railway employees
would be about $19s, 100000 while that
of all trainmen would be in the neigh
borhood of O,000,000.
assuming that 100000 Of the train
men will walk out, 1t means that for
every day they were severed from the
payroll they will lose $1,260,OO0. It
has been stated that the four brother
hoods possess $15,0o0,00o with which
to finance the proposed strike"
