making an advance showing of that
particular type in the display rooms
Of many OF their distributors, in

they wish to be driving 1t then. II
Is refinement OF everything that the
National has turned out. Its beauty
and luxury as closed car has beon

TEST OF TRACTORS
WILL BE SEVERE
1918 Competitions Will Prob
ably Occur at Detroit or
Cleveland.

There will be a national tractor
demonstration in 1918 and the test
VIII combine fuel consumption, trac-
tive efficiency, belt work and other
questions of tractor efficiency, none OF
which entered into the demonstrations
held the past year at Fremont Neb.
This decision to hold real tests was
decided upon at meeting of the ma
tional tractor demonstration commit
tee, which is n committee of the I'm
plement and Vehicle association, the
organization that supervised demon
'strations this year. These new rec
concentrations come as n natural re-
suit of the tests In August, which fur.
nished scarcely any tangible informaY
tion of value to buyers and otheri
concerning tractor performances at
the demonstration.
According to the opinion of the
committee, the 1918 tests will include
the following:
TESTS on fuel in plowing and
performing other kinds of farm work.
Tests OF different types of trac-
ton wheels, wheel equipment and
tractive efficiency to include tests
running wheels in burrows, on un-
plowed ground and also on plowed
bTpufu InlS VIII 1urnlSn lntOmattOn
az to the relative merit of tractors
with different numbers OF wheels.
3-Tests on steering mechanlsms.
4-TeFts of tractors doing belt work.
In addition to these specific tests.
the committee decided that each trac-
tor should give one continuous ten
hour demonstration. Last August the
tractors demonstrated about az they
saw fit and as there was no endur-
nnce test, such as a ten hour test would
prove, there was no opportunity of
getting a definite line on the relative
value TO the tractors.
The location of the demonstration
Tor 1918 has not been determined
upon. but the committee favors some
roint in the vicinity of Detroit or
Cleveland, providing 1000 to 5000
acres of land can be secured. This
apparently bears out the idea that
Fremont is not well located as a dem
onstrating ground from the manufac-
turers' viewpoint; and further that
these demonstrations arc really for
manufacturers rather than buyers.

MOTOR TRUCK OUTPUT
RAPIDLY INCREASING
Government Making Heavy
Demands on Automobile
Makers This Winter.

1t Is barely possible there will be
shortage of motor trucks due to the
large demand for them in the war.
The added capacity of the factories
will more than take care of this extra
load imposed by the war. Many fac
tories building passenger cars and
trucks are cutting down very heavily
on the passenger car business ana
taking up the slack with trucks. With
the passenger car business of the
country off anywhere from 40 to so
per cent there has been freed a great
amount of manufacturing capacity
which can be used for trucks. With
parts makers this has been apparent
for some time, as the shortage of ma
terials and parts which seriously
handicapped truck makers some
months ago has passed entirely, with
the possible exception of parts for
such models that are in direct COM
petition with the new heavy duty war
truck.
In addition to have plenty Of heavy
and medium duty trucks the country
is going to have for the first time
light delivery vehicles in large guam
titles. Ford has announced an out
put of fifty thousand delivery vehicles.
Maxwell will make twenty thousand
how many Dodge Brothers will pro-
duce. But these three will undoubt
edly produce more light vehicles than
there were trucks of all makes sold in
the last IL months The light de-
livery field should make greater prog
ress than 1t has ever made before.
This vastly increased output Of light
deliveries, coupled with the shortage
of labor and the shortage of horses,
should result in an unprecedented
growth in this field. The small re-
taller is going short on help now and
will go shorter. The waste of retail
delivery is going to make many
changes Many retailers will either
have to mend their ways or consoli-
date with their stronger brothers.
From all parts Of the country come
reports that motor car dealers are
more anxious this fall to take on
truck and delivery car agencies than
ever before. This Is due to the drop
ping off in the passenger car trade.
but II is also due to the increase in
the light truck and delivery car busi-
ness.-Motor Age.

According to Mr.. Ansted, one sinks
deep into the body Of this four-pas-
senger Spor-tour, whose SIDES are
high and beveled and whose seats are
tilted at just the proper angle for
riding comfort. Not only does II diff

Has Vital Bearing on Present

S. M. Williams Discusses Prob

Builders Association.

The Importance of developing tran
sportation facilities in the United
States is subject that Is being
given wide publicity at this time be-
cause OF its vital bearing upon the
present and future welfare OF the
country. S. NJ. Williams. general
gales manager of the Garford Motor
Truck company, In an address made

association. New York city, recently.
points out the urgent need for devel'
oping transportation in all OF its
branches. His address, In part. fol-
lows:
Transportation is the foundation
Of progress.
without transportation wo cannot
have production-labor would be
helpless. Without transportation we
could not gather raw materials or dis
tribute finished products. And with
out transportation we would practl-
cally stand still IN economic and social
development.
"In former times I'm thinking OF
transportation our minds Immediately
went out to the railroads or water
ways. The highways were not con-
sidercd except as matter of conven-
ienco for individual communities thru
which they traversed, and owing to
the miserable and unreliable condl-
tions of the highways In many sec
tions OF the country we have been
paying a penalty of over two hundred
and fifty million dollars per year In
excessive cost for transporting our
agricultural products alone from the
farm to the market or shipping point.
Transportation Is not only one of
the most important factors In build
ing up any country, but today II Is OF
still greater importance to the United
States and the allies in winning the
war in which we are now engaged.
I'VE should consider transportation
| from the economic viewpoint and
we should encourage that develop
ment where II will mean the greatest
good to the greatest number.
Recognizing Transportation Needs.
II am satisfied that II never before
the day is now here when those re-
sponsible for transportation In Its
different forms are willing to study
and recognize that type best adapted
to the individual requirement. The
railroads must he willing to concede
that for some forms Of transportation
the waterways must serve the eco
nomic needs of our country, and the
waterways must recognize the eff
cheney of the railroads for that type
of transportation where time Is es-
sential in the matter of delivery.
Both the railroads and the water
ways must acknowledge that the high
way is Just as important for certain
forms of transportation-in fact to
very large extent II Is the very
foundation of both railway and water
way portatior-therefore the

a Maxwell Sedan. The party left
Boston June 26 and made the trip in
leisurely fashion at low cost and with
out any car trouble.
The sedan was used as a base camp
and whenever a stop was made the
car was the travellers home. A com
plete camping outfit was carried and
the members of the party made the
trip In luxurious comfort. The car
burned 315 gallons Of gasoline. which
cost $S7 and used two sets OF tires,
which cost $215.24. The cost of stor-
ing the car and repairs amounted to
$30.56. The highest price paid for
gasoline was in Nevada where fuel
was purchased for 40 cents a gallon
The Coopers made the trip by way
of New York. Buffalo. Chicago and
then to Denver and Ogden, then to
Salt Lake City and Reno. They drove
by Emerald bay and to San Fran
cisco. The roads east Of Ogden were
found to be In good shape for the
most part. and from Omaha to Den
yer the roads were not so good and
in wet weather were poor. The Coop
ers went to Pixies peak and visited
Yellowstone park.
One incident that will long be re-
membered happened in Nevada. The
party was encamped near the road in
q field and were asleep. During the
night one Of the farmers In the neigh
borhood turned the water loose from
an irrigation ditch and allowed the
water to run to the camp and drench

AUTO NEWS AND CONTENT

Secretary of State Francis M. Hugo
of New York. has been studying the
problem of reducing the number Of
motor car thefts. which, as stated by
Police Commissioner Woods, shows
considerable increase In New York
city this year over last year. Mr.. Hugo
has written a letter to the various
automobile organizations Of the state
asking their opinion on his suggestion
that the manufacturers IN b e +
which now appears on the motor be
affixed also on the steering column Of
the automobile.
This is a part of the automobile"
he says, (which is rarely, If ever,
changed, and the numbering Of this
part to correspond with the engine
number would serve several purposes.
''In case of theft, it would prove of
great value in identifying the car.
Also, II would act as a deterrent, as
the removal of this number by the
thief would be readily discernible.
The American Highway association
organized In 1900 to promote the
building Of good roads, was dissolved
by the board of directors in Washing
ton. With the organization OF a high
way department in each state, the en-
ted States office of public roads and
cooperative road building by the ma
.tlon and the several states, the objects
for which the association was founded
have practically been attained. The
directors therefore decided that rather
than undertake new lines of work
when the energies of every citizen are
directed toward the successful prose-
cution of the war, the organization
should be dissolved. The surplus
funds have been invested in Liberty
bonds and the interest will be used in
paying for an American Highway as

conspicuous service in the advance
ment of road improvements IN the
