Music the Mood Maker

Music is so restful that it Is used
to still riOting and cure lunacy. II is
so stirring that battle is not attempted
without 1t, and armies become
wrought TO an edge of steel" under
the strange call. 1t is so refining that
all schools teach it. 1t is so uplifting
that every church and every religious
service employs it. The history of
epochal battles, of great revivals and
OF mighty movements might almost be
written as the history of music. Music
is the great mood maker.-Henry NJ.

TRUCK CHEAPER

Figures Prove Economy of
Motor Transport; One
Saves S11 Daily.

Much has been said about the eco
nOmic factor in the use OF motor
trucks as opposed TO animal trans
portation. but little has been shown in
the way Of specific instances where
savings have been wrought through
the use Of the power wagon
In an Investigation conducted by
the Federal Motor Truck company. at
Bennington. Vt, it was found that H.
". Meyers 81 son. dealers in coal and
feed, have been effectiug a saving Of
S11 a day in employing tWO-tou
Federal truck for making their deliv-
cries
This Information was gained
through accurate records Of horse and
truck operations covering period %
SIX months. II was further shown by
these records that the Federal two
ton truck had performed $50 percent
more work than any Of the firm s.
teams on the same type Of deliveries.
This las been accomplished al an adj
ditiOnal cost OF but 20 percent over
the expense Of two horses
Taking these figures as basis
two ton truck performs the work OF
3 IL teams. The cost Of the horses
is figured al Sl1S-13 a month, or $3.50
per day Three and half teams
would cost S2O-IT per day The month
" cost of truck operation Is put at
S2l5.11, or $40 per day. Even in
Guiding the wages Of a helper on the
truck, this form Of transportation
would be S11 a day cheaper than BY
the use of teams for the same work.
Figures submitted by the American
Wooden company show that this con-
Germ was enabled TO cut its delivery
costs considerably through the sub
stitution OF motor power for horses.
Horse haulage costs this company $50
per ton compared with an average Of
S.34 per ton for motor haulage, a saw
ing Of 50 percent These figures. how
ever. do not include costs OF depre-
citation, insurance or interest BY add

the number OF acres required to feed
each horse was determined. The
amount Of grain this would grow and
the number OF lOaves Of bread that

TOURS
MOST POPULAR
Call for Route Books Is In
dication of Plans of
Most Drivers.

The occasional car you see with
far away license number is now the
exception to the rule If the statistics
gathered by the national touring bu-
reag Of the b F. Goodrich company
are taken into consideration.
The distribution Of free route cards
through its thousands Of dealers and
branches has proven TO the Goodrich
company that the great majority Of
motorists confine their touring to APP
proximately 100 miles or the week
end tour.
The adoption Of the condensed route
card as "a supplement TO its tour
books was made by the Goodrich COM
pany following the discovery that in
almost every locality. with but few
exceptions, the inquiries were for in
formation covering the shorter dis
tanCes. This developed another inter

tOrist can become lost within a com
paratively few miles of his own city

II is especially true in the more
densely populated portions Of the
country that people content them
selves with shorter tours and this is
due TO the fact that the great ma
jority Of the automobiles Of the coun-
try are owned by those who close the
business week at noon on Saturday.
The habit Of motoring TO a nearby
resort and returning home late sun

rapidly followed particularly in the

While there is still a limited de-
mand for the lar uoteg rebeandRwls

majority OF motorists prefer the small
condensed tour cards which contain
the same Information in a more com
pact form and are obtainabIe from
