lute1v no space when not in actual use. When folded, they disappear en- tirely into recesses in the back of the front seat, which presents a smooth surface. Entrance and exit are not impeded in the slightest, and the pas' sengers in the rear have use of all the tonneau space. The auxiliary seats, both when folded and when in place, present nothing which is apt to catch and tear women's and children's clothing. At night a small electric light in the back of the front seat illuminates the curb side of the ton- neau entrance.
 Storm curtains are carried in neat pockets on the under side of the top. It is not necessary to tumble under
 the seats to get them and they can be attached without getting out os the car.
 Another one of the innovations originally inaugurated by the Cadillac is to be seen in it's steering wheel. In-
 stead of the conventional type at
 tachsd rigid1y in position, the Cadil- lac sseering wheel is hinged to swing
 out of the way. This permits en-
 trance and exit at either right or loft
 side of the car, as the control levers
 are so positioned that they do not o,-
 struct the passage from one side of
 the car to the other This hinged
 steering wheel is also a. boon to the
 corpulent driver, who can take his seat comfortably without squeezing
 himself, and then raise the wheel to
 normal position.

yearly from the beds of the Alle- Ehany and Monongahela rivers at confidence to form the Ohio. This work saves the government the need of doing any dredging.
 The facilities for this work include 23 steel barges, 13 wooden barges and 100 flats. Wooden barges hold 160 tons and steel barges 500. Material is scooped from the river beds on a system of endless chain buckets, 43 buckets on chain.
 The catch is run through cylind- rical sitter which assorts the mater ial into various classifcations. Diff ferent sized holes determine the as- sortment. Sand goes through the smallest perforations and the big stones stay until the mass is run out at the end of the cylinder where the largest holes are. When barge is filled with assort- ed material. 1t is brought into one of the company's two yards, located on the river. By means of what is known as a clam sheet bucket, oper- ated by a crane, the sand is swung from the barge into a large hopper. This ia really g. series of reservoirs high in the air on wooden uprights.
 The hopper Is fitted out with chutes to permit the discharge of the ma- terial of the different sizes. A truck runs under the desired chute, a lever is pulled and by gravity the truck re- ceiyes it's cargo in half minute
 With the truck the company feels itself equipped to care for any job. Tn case of a rush to finish job on contract time 8 vehicle can be work cd all night,
 Counting all items including depre- ciation and labor this company fg- ures the cost of each of its five-ton Pierc6-Arrows to be $20 per day. Each truck displaces i've teams. It costs $6 q day to hire a team, so that against hired teams the trucks show an economy of s10, or one-third. The company's own teams are operated al $5. Thus the Rierce-Arrow truck compan ETAOI SH DLRU -.1-pd economy is 26 per cent. against the company's own horse-drawn equip ment. The Bridgeport branch Of the George B. Wuesterfeld Go.

\ PIERCE-ARROW OWNER
 THAT BOUGHT EARLY IN GAME

MT. J. Elmer Pratt, Sales Manager, <
 The Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Co.,,
 1895 Elmwood Ave-, Buffalo, N. Y. Dear Sir: G
 have been receiving your various letters addressed to Pierce-Arrow owners, and am indeed very glad to receive them. trust you will con- tinue to send same to me. I am par tioulary interested in tine enclosure in your letter of the 3rd inst. MT. Moorehead is absolutely correct in his assertions, for I can speak from ex- perience. In March, 1909. the Foss Hughes company of Philadelphia de- Nvered to us 1909 6-48 h. D. Pierce Arrow No. 8944. At the time of de- livery we were considered foolish for putting so much money into car, but our answer was. "Wait and see.'' We are still running that car to-day. 1t has been driven approximately 100000 miles and is in as good shape as most of the new cars that have been recently delivered in this town, and apparently 1t will do a great many thousand miles more. might also add that the very people who criticized our original purchase have had at least three cars since we pur- chased our car. This car has estab- lished quite reputation in this sec tion. and it's record and construction have been matter of very favorable comment. The car was certainly a number of years ahead of its time.

Unlike most contracting companies, the Rodgers Sand Company, of Pitts burgh has found practical utility in not connning itself to the biggest mo- tor truck units. In addition to three five-tnn trucks. the Rodgers company has another Pierce-Arrow. n two-ton. This vehicle is found to be of par tfcular advantage In caring for light CT hauis. lts smaller upkeep ia an economy.
 The Rodgers company has been a motor truck user for close to five years. The drst truck in service, a hve-ton Pierce-Arrow. has actually improved itself. It is now running a bigger mileage and carrying Afgreater tonnage than ever before In its hir- tory.

It will be noted that the total rnile- age is 42,64e and the tonnage 26,66e. The biz figures fop 1915 are partly ex- 'plained by the fact that the truck was pushed hard in night work on big jobs, but the fact that after three years Of hard servica 1t was able to withstand tho strain of extra work. and actually eclipse its own records ia the best possible demonstration that could b asksd of tho quality. of the truck.
 The Rodgers company believes that the depreciation on tho truck, gauged by this performance has been virtual " nothing, as far as actual service goes, and that 1t would be business folly to trada tho vehicle in for an other.

TEST COMES IN SENATE
ON WHAT TAXATION
SHALL DO TO PROFITS.
Johnson's Amendment to Come up
for Disposal After La Toilette Has
Delivered Long Speech.


Washington, Aug. 31.-Voting prob
ably will begin in the senate tomor-
row on the war profits section Of the
war tax bill.
The situation clarified so rapidly
after yesterdays abandonment Of clo-
ture plans and agreements for final
disposition of the measure thst just
before suspending today all was ready
for a vote on the first of the amend
ments to the war profits section-the
proposal Of Senator johnson Of Cali
fornia providing a gross levy Of 80 per.
cent. Absence Of a score Of senators
not expecting that voting would be-
gin so early prevented an immediate
test of strength.
Senator La Toilette expects to make
u lengthy war profits speech tomor-
row, but Senator Boran, a leader Of
the group demanding higher taxation,
said tonight .his would not interfere
with prompt action on the Johnson
amendment.
Spokesman for those favoring and
opposing higher profits rates divided
today's debate. Senators Harding and
Smoo. urged rete-tion of the finance
commttee's provision while Senators
, Hollis and Gronna urged much greater
levies. The attendance generally
was small, with but a half dozen SEN
ators remaining on the floor at times.
Senators Harding and Smoot
warned that much higher taxation Of
war profits probably would result Sc
riously to business. Senators Hollis
and Gronna contended that the bulk
Of the wars expenses should be OBJ
tanned from war profits. SenatorHollis
opposed consumption taxes proposed
and insisted that the bill be increased
to $4,000, 900. 900 by levying upon war
profits.
"a am ready to take practically all
war profits" he declared.
"They are a trust fund in the hands
OF those that make them and the gov
enment should have no compunction
in reaching out and taking them"
BY a strategic move the senators
making the fight for higher rate on
war profits got Senator Johnson's
amendment placed in position for the
first vote. Both sides expressed con-
fidence tonight, but the plan Of the
high tax group Is to offer Senator
Johnson's maximum levy provision
first, and IL that is defeated, to follow
w,th ether propositions to secrre at-
ceptance Of the highest possible rate.
