The physician said she was still

TRUCK TRAILER NOW COMING INTO OWN
Will Not Decrease, But h. crease Truck Sales by Low
 ering First Cost

The motor truck trailer is just now coming into it's own, according to Leigh Lynch, sales manager Columbia Motor Truck and Trailer company While the necessity for conservation of resources brought by the war is in no small meas ure responsible for the rapidly increas- ing demand for the trailer the natural tendency of the commercial world toward the greatest efficiency at the least cost is undoubtedly the main factor in this demand, according to MT. Lynch. He says:
 The first difficulty against which the truck dealer runs in considering the trailer is the fear that the total sales of trucks will be decreased by it's use, but this idea is not grounded on fact, any more than was the fear of the factory workers of some decades ago that the incoming of labor saving machinery would decrease the amount of work and thus leave thousands to starve.
 NEW INVENTIONS ANNUALLY
 Every year records new inventions ot labor saving machinery, but the ouput of machinery, instead of decreasing has in- creased tremendously. This line of req soning is as true when applied to the motor truck as the fact that the motor truck is machinery. Discover and apply new methods of making the motor truck more effective, more profitable, and you will immediately increase the demand for the motor truck, just as surely as if you lowered the price of the truck Yes, more surely, for in lowering the first cost of the truck itself you would certainly not be saving the consumer as much as if you lowered the first cost and the operation cost, too. And the trailer does both Increasing the ca- pacity of the truck by giving the user practically two trucks. the first cost is in reality lowered, and the operation cost for haulage largely decreased
 Another factor of considerable i'm. portance from the consumer standpoint is the fact that the motor truck will haul more than it will carry, even as a horse will draw more than it will bear. The trailer's efficiency is thus founded upon law of nature. There is not the least doubt that the trailer will greatly in crease the sales of the motor truck, even as 1t increases the motor truck utility"

Difficulties which were experienced by the allies on the European fronts early in the war, when there were 19 different makes of trucks in 42 different models in use with the consequent probem of supplying the spare parts as a most se- rious feature, will not be experienced by the American forces with the standard ized class A and class B trucks, accord ing to w.

MODERN FACTOR

Time was, and but few years ago, when motorists were please to obtain $500 miles of service from a pneu- matic automobile tire, oeprating un- der the best of riding conditions. In factF some manufacturers of tires that guaranteed this mileage were consid- cred venturesome indeed. Now how ever, we hear of many tires that have travelled more than 10000 miles and some that have rolled into the 10000 class.
 MT. F. B. Johnson of Nashville, Ind. is one of the motorists who has en- tered this last class, having secured 26,000 miles of service from the orig inal Goodyear cord tires, with the tires still rolling every day. But one pune. ture has been experienced In the 26000 miles,

careful review of the reports of the Elgin Six National All-Trails Scout Car for it's 62O2-mile journey over the Lincoln highway from Chicago to San Francisco, thence to Los Angeles, and on the National Old Trails road to St. Louis and thence to Chicago, shows that the gasoline consumption averaged 19.4 miles to the gallon on this gruelling trip. The car was strictly stock and the hood was sealed, the transmission was sealed, and the clutch was sealed. There was no chance to touch the engine, and no chance to look at the clutch or transmits sion. The gasoline record of the journey is therefore the more remarkable.
 STOOD ALL TESTS
 The reports of Roy $. Marsh, the scout baster, were extremely complete and ac- eurate. His reports show that the valve in-the-head motor never faltered on the steepest inclines and in the heaviest sands or the deepest mud. Every me- Cbanical detail of the trip was recorded by him, and there was no report of a slipping clutch, even on the steepest mountain climbs. The brakes. accord ing to his reports, gave no trouble what soever. slipping brake might have caused death on the terrible hills which the car had to go down in its note worthy run.
 Stamina, dependability and economy were shown all through the journey, and in the reports. The one trouble of the journey reported was a broken fan belt compelling the car to travel from the Mojaye desert to Chicago without fan, test which few cars have been given in long tours

DEALERS HEARD FROM
 H. M. Bailey of the Motor Sales corporation said tell you all that Max well and following close to the "Stearns- Knight" Max" is a healthy fellow anyhow, he said, and when he> coughs it is usually because he has started something.
 Bob Lees, president of the Ov- erland Motor company, says that the new year will see many Willys- Knights going "Overland.'
 ''Why do fishermen find such enjoyment in a Selden truck?" Earl l. Ford of the CruseCrawford Manufacturing company can shed some light on this subject.
 Reese Adamson still contends that Fords can run on hot air. Anyhow, he keeps a right live crew up in his dominion to keep the crowds from carrying them off before he can check up his ship ments.
 If 'Stutz will only Grant me a sKissel-Kar,' said Paw Perkins, "every thing will be all right Tor the coming year.
