 .I have myself been over the hard roads the truck is encountering in the red clay and sand localities of the south and in the swamp sections of Virginia It will run in Virginia in roads that have for years been terror for touring cars,'' MT. Smith asserted.
 Tn other words I am having the A. A. A. jam into two weeks of truck work as much going as the average American business man would require of the car in two years"
 MT. Smith, pointing out that the truck of light, economical and durable design is certain to command a still greater place as a factor in American industrialism because of railway con- gestion and hampered express service, emphasizes that the A. A. A. sanction test will be so completed as to enable any business house to arrive at definite tables of cost by the week, month or year for truck delivery service. The Maxwell company will within two weeks have available for the first time in the history of truck making, MT. Smith makes known, the most au- thoritative and illuminating table the | truck industry has ever produced, since it will have the rigid sanction of the recognized automobile authority, the A. A. A, back of it.

 The Maxwell left New York Friday. November 30. It will go through Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Richmond, Charlotte, Spartanburg, Atlanta, Anniston, Ga, Montgomery, Ala, Macon, Ga, Augusta, Columbia, s. C., then north to New York
 What goshalmighty task the Max well company has found its one-ton model to be capable of as a worker is reflected by the fact that the A. A. A. sanction calls for a run of some 2500 miles. Moreover the truck is carrying a load of one full ton. In addition il carries it's driver, P. w. Gibbs and the A. A A. technical observer.
 A striking feature regarding the Maxwell load is that the truck has un- dertaken to deliver one ton of mer- chandise from New York to Spartan burg. $. C., on a basis of exactly halt what it would cost to send the supplies bv express. The load was supplied bS the C. R. Williams company, wholesale grocers. 56 Hudson street, New York The consignment, comprising some 3l boxes. represents the ordinary dut! any business house would expect truck to transport in the course of it days work.
 MT. Smith has fixed a running schedule of 15 miles an hour for thu entire distance. Accurate and authori tatiye figures will be kept by the tech nical official, covering the gasolin economy of the Maxwell, it's lubricant

New York has just had issued an official sanction of the American Au- tomobile association to cover an of ficial truck performance and durabil- ity drivo from New York to all the army camps in the south and then back.
 From several viewpoints this truck demonstration will be the most unus- ual test ever carried out for the in formation of business men everywhere. The A. A. A. sanction for the drive number 1080, marks the first instance in the history of automobile making that a truck has been registered for a

those of the golden state, the reali- zation of this condition is partic- ularly appalling. One is forced to arrive at the conclusion that Ari- zona needs, and is financially able to have better roads than Califor- mia, yet is far behind in their att tainment.
 More automobiles have been pur- chased drought the entire year just passed by the farmers than by any other part of our citizenry. It is safe to assume that this truth holds good in Arizona, where the principal part of the population is made up of farmers. These farm CTS buy automobiles not alone for pleasure but for practical, eco homie reasons. Each year the waste in the damage done to cars and tires is sufficient to offset the cost of road improvement, were the job undertaken.
 Let us get behind the good roads movement as wartime measure, as an economic necessity, as an in- dication of the wealth in plenty which we have to maintain our po- sition in the vanguard of progress i've districts and in support of the theory that the automobile is not wasteful, pleasurable extrava- gance.

SAFETY ON HILLS

When you must stop on hill it is a wise precaution to angle in against the curb or edge of the road. Thus the position of the wheels will help to hold the car. Not only is this a source of precaution should the brakes fail, but it also lessens the strain upon the brakes. In cases where brakes fail when driving up or down hill. the car may often be checked by this method.

KEEP THE RADIATOR WARM

With the lower grade of gasoline now in use requiring considerable heat for maximum efficiency, it is especially necessary to protect the radiator this winter. A piece of card board or tin, covering about half of the front of the radiator, will in crease the efficiency of the motor for winter driving. A hood cover of quilted cloth covering the entire hood and radiator, with a flap in front which may be raised when driving, furnishes an ideal protection against cold. It makes for easier starting and a smoother running motor.

Would Build Plant
For Making TOweling
Of OregOn's Flax

J. Sidney Startling OF Tonamanda. \.
y, met with about a dozen Of the lead
ing capitalists Of the city last evening
at the Commercial club and placed be-
fore them his proposition for the cree
tion Of a plant for the manufacture Of
crash tOweling and yarns
Mr.. Starting has invented a machine
for the retting of flax without the use
Of water. whereby the flax fiber is sep
arated from the stem quicker and az
a less expense than the customary wa
ter process.
His proposition was for the erection
Of a plant in Salem 20 cost Sl50,000,
the greater part of the stock to be TAX
en- by investors in Salem. Should the
plant be erected, it is probable that
Mr. Startling would be placed in charge
for at least a year or two.
Two favorable reports as to what his
patent for retting will do have been
received and il is probable that before
any action is taken that a representa-
tive from Salem will visit the factory
of Mr.. Startling at Tonawanda and al
SO make a thorough investigation as to
whether there would be a profitable
market in the east for such yarns or
crash toweling that could be manufae-
tured here.
To furnish enough flax to keep a
plant busy, it was estimated that 1900
acres would be necessary. The propo-
sition of Mr.. Startling made a favor
able impression, but it is probable that
nothing more will be done until those
who expect to become stock holders
make a more thorough investigation.
