10 BLACKBURN IMPROVING.

Friends in Paris have received
cheering information to the effect
that Senator 10. Blackburn, lately
Governor of the Panama Canal
Zone, who has been seriously i'll in
Washington, D. c., is improving.
Senator Blackburn has as many
friends, perhaps, as any man who
ever held a public office, and his adj
mirers here are glad to know there
is a good prospect of his complete
recovery.

something scarcely to be avoided in
much Of the work of freight handling.
For these and other reasons the
heels of the motor truck have been
scOtched, at least partly.
Even now. however. part of ythe
scOtching has been removed and more
OF it is under pressure and in a fair
way to move and leave the road clear.
War has pushed freight upon the
transportation agencies far faster than
they can handle it, and the result is
congestion and chaos; the railroad and
steamship companies are shouting for
help and, far from scheming to get
tonnage. the motor truck has merely
to take what it wants Of an enormous
surplus. That disposes of the difficulty
of competition. AS for terminal de-
lays, the recently appointed highways
transport committee of the Council of
National Defense has as one Of its
main objects the elimination. or at
least the minimizing, OF these exas-
perating and expensive time losses
and that by the use of the motor
truck. In fact, 1t exists for the pur-
pose Of helping to put the motor truck
on a freight-hauling basis-of un-
scotching its wheels.
For years motor truck men have
been saying confidently. The time will

saying 1t the time came. It is here

UNSCOTCHED WHEELS.

For years ii has been realized by the
faT-sighted. and even by many with
business vision Of not exceptiona!
keenness. that the motor truck was
destined to play large part not only
In local transportation, its heritage
rom its horse-drawn predecessors. but
In the even larger and more complex
business Of taking up part of the bur-
Zen Of the railroads and steamboat
lines For, so far as length of haul-is
concerned. urban and suburban serv-
ice is child's play for the truck, and
what the railroads designate as short
haul fTeighting is we'll within its
power.
1t is clear enough that the truck,
with prOverbial deliberation and GER
tainty. has been approaching the point
where it could shoulder an appreciable
share of the national transportation
business. 1t is equally clear. however.
that there have been factors tending
to peTpetuate deliberation and defer
certainty. One was that getting busi-
ness meant competition-taking, away
from the big carriers something they
did not want to lose. Another was
that there have been delays in loading
and unloading at freight terminals so
long and so uncertain as to make ii a
matter Of great difficulty to figure out

CAR THIEVES
FOILED ATLAST
New Paige Patented Gear Shift
Prevents Theft and Re-
duces Insurance.

There seems to be good reason to be-
lieve that way has at last been found
to foil the ubiquitous and persistent
car thief. and that the number OF
stolen automobiles will soon appre-
ciably diminish.
Among the new features included on
present Paige models Is a patented
gear shift lock which gives this car
the distinction of being absolutely
thiefproof. Only by towing the car
away can 1t be moved against the
wishes of the owner.
That this Is good news to motorists
need scarcely be stated. for the theft
Of cars has reached extraordinary pro-
portions. Thanks to what the public
Is inclined to regard as inefficiency on
the part of the police and to a mis-
taken leniency on the part OF the
courts when the police do make good,
car thefts have been increasing at an
alarming rate.
In Detroit, for example, 1t is estl-
mated that the value of cars stolen
each day is about $4,000, or more than
s.. 900, 900 a year, and reports from other
cities are of a similar nature. So Sc
rious did the situation become in Chi
cago that a demand was made upon
the police department to get busy and
ameliorate the evil. IL they could wipe
1t out. In view of the failure of the
police and the encouragement given
vicious elements by the attitude of the
courfs N has haen ntIf to the "a N
maker and car owner to find a way
out. An announcement, therefore, thai
a lock has been invented that is both
practical and completely effective will
doubtless be warmly welcomed by the
motorists.
The new Paige lock is an integra
part of the transmission cover. A
hardened steel tube of massive size
acts as the lock. This tube slides into
engagement with the change geal
over. which becomes locked solid. Ir
,is position it becomes impossible L
ave the lever out of neutral and SC
gage the gears. The machine I;
ccked safe against theft by a ligh
9hove with the foot on this teel tube
The key is necessary only for unlock
ing.
! This original Paige feature is saiC
. to reduce theft insurance Is per cent
besides giving the owner considerable
peace Of mind Only by taking up thu
floor boards and unbolting the trans
mission cover and then attaching an
other cover with free change gea
lever could the car be moved under IL
own power. No car thief would at
tempt that.

Arizona mines have a payroll of So

123 per cent increase in the output of

there are 1000 dairy cows, yielding

Asa means Of transporting tndivld-

casual observer will tell you, all the
advantages in its favor as utility
among modern power-driven convey

however, to upset this old standard.
and at the same time to show the raj
lacy Of any connection between auto

The thing that throws light on COM

ton of weight. Take. for instance. the
average five-passenger automobtle; II
weighs about 2.5O0 pounds. without pas
sengers, or when loaded not over 3,5oo
pounds, On this basis. the automobile
is required to move 100 pounds per pas
senger; load that the automobile en-
gine must push up and down hill and
over the country. How moderate this
weight Is beside that Of other forms OF
conveyances.
On the other hand, our high-class
Pullman trains carry weight per
passenger OF 1000 pounds. On local
trains. with day coaches. the burden
is. of course. smaller-between one and
two tons per passenger seating capac-
Ity. These figures necessarily include
the weight of the locomotive, tender
baggage car. or. in other words. the
weight of the entire train. just the
same as the automobile htures include
the weight Of the entire car.
It is evident that in both cases the
weight per passenger requires power in
proportion to move II. and power
means fuel. In these days of conser'

important part in the motor car
market this year. In two months the
state registrations have increased
over 1000. and the sale of automo-
biles is on the increase.
Standing ninth July l among the
States of the union as to automobiles
per capita. January 1 will tell a diff

the top. And there is no State today
that needs automobiles more to carry
on the natural development under
way than Arizona, the State of sand
trails, poor rofds. and long distance
with infrequent railroad accommoda-
tons The automobile is faster than
the saddle horse and its use is abso-
lutely necessary to eliminate distance
in the wonderful development on in
this State.
So pronounced has the advance in
the motor car been that even the
bankers. stung in the early days in
financing motor car dealers, have
today recuperated from their losses
and are standing much firmer behind
the industry in the State The banks
realize the necessity of the automo-
