SOCIAL AND PERSONAL

Announcement has been made of the
engagement of Miss Louise Topping,
daughter of DR.. and Mrs. J. R. Top
ping of 349 Noble avenue, to John D.
F. Lawrence of Boston, Mass, for
merly of this city. Mr.. Lawrence is a,
graduate of Sheffield Scientific school,
class of 1910. Miss Topping announced
her engagement at a tea at her home
yesterday afternoon.
A large number of Bridgeport resi-
dents attended the splendid concert
given last evening by l. J. Paderewsl1i
IN Woolsey hall, New aven, under the
auspices of M. Steinert & CO.. The
great hall was crowded with hundreds
of music lovers, who were held by the
power of the artist during his two
hour and a half program. At the con-
cluslon the audience refused to leave,
put stood clapping until PadereWsli
twice responded with encores. His
autographed photographs were sold at
the door for the benefit of the Polish
War Victim Relief Fund.
To those who have heard Mrs. Fred
erick M Hawes, the announ cement
that she will give the story of Jean
Vatican at the Y. w. G. A. at 4 O'Clock
tomorrow afternoon is of intense in
terest. There is no one in the city
who has a more thorough knowledge
of the writings of Victor Hugo and
surely no one who can make more
interesting and attractive the telling
of the story of Les Miserab1es than
Mrs. Halves.
Mrs. Halves, who was a teacher of
French, both in CORTLAND school and
the Night school for several years, has
an exceedingly attractive personality
and her wonderful way Of telling the
story has few equals. This is the
first of series of two talks, the Sec
ond of which will be given the follow
ing Sunday, March 26. These meetS
ings are open to all women and girls
in the city and tea will be served by
the Agenda club of the East Side
branch during the social hour which
follows.

some. Novelties were introduced,
which were pleasing. A moonlight
dance, with a green moon appropriate
to the day, was on the program.
Each woman guest received a green

For fifteen years Mr.. Riker has
been designing motor trucks to be
used until they wear out
The trucks he designed fifteen
years ago are still IN service.
The records Of motor trucks in
the nineteen months of this world
war have taught MIR. Riker more
about the performance of trucks
under unexpected strains than
his whole previous experience.
He has put these lessons into
practice in the new Riker Truck
the best builf truck in America.
Now for the first time in truck
history. there is available for the
business men of America motor
truck in which the unexpected has
been foreseen and provided for.
A truck that is good for war
services ideally good for business
purposes.

Truckmen will appreciate espec-
tally in the Riker Truck the loca-

He will be interested to see how
his experience and ideas on the

practice by the foremost automo-
bile engineer in the country.
We invite him to inspect the

plain it to him any time either

Now in this
Case it's -
AS the Man who
Drives One

An impressive meeting it is, no
doubt, when the executive heads
of a concern get together in the
front Office to decide on what make
of motor trucks to install.
It's a pity that they don't oftener
call their truck drivers into con-
su1tation.
The man who sits on the seat
ofa truck and steers through the
streets Knows a whole lot OF
things about trucks that never
come into the knowledge Of the
man at the head of the concern
He knows his own truck. From
other drivers he gets Information
about a dozen other makes Of trucks
how they, handle the load, how
they eat up tires, how many days
work can be expected from them
in a year, and what the repair bills
amount to.
@
Z The things a truckman will de-
mand in a truck if you give him a
chance to specify are precisely the
things his employer will demand.
No truckn7an wants to have
his record charged up with heavy
tire bills with excessive repairs
with breakdow17s- with hours
Of delay in trucking a load across
the city.
The men who drive the trucks
in America have been more than
patient with the limitations of the
motor truck - they have been
good rafured
For years they have found them
selves hung up on the road with
unexpected breakdowas- emer-
gency repairs and adjustments to
make.
But there is Limit to the
truckn7an' s patience and to the
expense the business world can
stand
The repute in which the truck
man is held today is probably higher
than in any other period in history,
The intelligent American truck
man is the greatest factor in the
success of the Riker Truck. I
@
Mr. Riker. and the Locomob11e
Company Of America are under
obligations to trucknen for sug-
gestions and ideas which they can
never repay.
The biggest service done the
truck owners of this country was
performed by Al Riker when he
deliberately designed a truck from
the truckn7ar7's point Of view
the Riker Truck-the best built
truck in America. ~
A. L. Riker is Vice-President
and Chief Engineer of the Loco
mobile Company of America,
makers of the Riker Truck.
He is a pioneer in the science of
motor truck design and building.
