With trucks it is possible to add

virtually all are motor truck users
A Philadelphia baking company

selling OF popular priced food, en-
counters the same proposition as the
wholesaler, for it has to make daily
distribution to a lot of stores. Only
by trucks has it been found possible
to make the frequent deliveries on

CAMPAIGN INTERESTS EUROPE
London Times Says U. S. Course
Will Not Be Affected Thereby.

LONDON, June 1.-THE morning news
papers today devote considerable space to
the result Of the republican national con-
vention held In Chicago, and in several
cases print Biographies a column long Of
Charles e. Hughes. the nominee for
President The articles include consider
able discussion Of the probable attitude
Of Col Theodore Roosevelt, as well as
speculation on the probable standpoint
Of Mr. Hughes toward the European war
"The republican party conducted its
convention with sagacity and discipline"
says the Times THE campaign between
ably will be the most important and most
bitter since the civil war, for behind the
immediate issues involved lies the whole
problem OF the future attitude Of the
United States toward the largest question
Of international policy.
1.-THE position Of Col. Roosevelt ad-
mittedly is difficult. He sees the large
ness OF the issues involved as clearly as
any Of his countrymen, but time and skill
are needed to educate his party into a
coalition with republicans. Europeans in
the height of their tremendous conflict
will naturally speculate in their own minds
upon the effects of the election upon the
European struggle, but the less such
speculations are expressed the better. for
they are likely to be wrong and possibly
mischievous Whoever becomes Presi-
dent, the ultimate decision of how far
America is to take a share in the common
burdens and tasks Of other progressive
peoples Of the world ultimately rests not
with the new President. but with the

MAY RESORT TO STEAM.
Experts Trying to Solve Motor Prob
lem of Air Navigation.

Navy Department experiments indicate
that steam driven seaplanes may solve the
motor problem of air navigation. Many
officers believe that only the question of
getting the weight Of the steam plant

mains to be answered before a steamer
Of the air is constructed and tried out.
Steam equipment would guarantee con-
stancy Of power upon which aeroplanes
depend for stability. Most accidents to
aviators, it is pointed out. may be due
to failure Of motors Steam turbines also
would provide power far in excess of any
thing now obtainable with gasoline en-

PLANS FoR COMPETITION.
Controller williams Would Favor
National Banks in Small Cities.

To enable national banks IN small
cities to compete better with state
banks and trust companies Of their
localities, Controller Williams has
recommended to Congress that the fed
eral reserve-act be amended SO that
national banks in places of less than
5000. inhabitants may act as agents
for the sales of life and lire insurance
and real estate and for the placing Of
farm loans.
In a letter to chairmen Owen and
Glass of the congressional currency
committees, the controller says the
amendment would make 1t possible for
the banks with small. deposits to in
crease their revenue and declare rea-
sonable dividends without resorting to
unlawful interest rates. He recon-
mends that the agency privilege should
not be extended to institutions in cities
of more than 5000. because their fields
afford enough legitimate banking busi-
ness to yield adequate revenue and oc-
cupy their whole attention.
