RECEIVERS SOUGHT
IN FIRE INSURANCE
COMPANY TANGLE

Trustees OF the First National Fire
Insurance Company, who claim to
own or hold proxies for s5 per cent
of the outstanding stock, have filed
q petition in the District Supreme
Court asking that Robert J. Wynne
and J. Lewis Smith, now liquIdating
trustees, be appointed receivers pend
ing settlement Of the dissolution pro-
ceedings begun August IL.
The petitioners state that the COM
pany Is now losing approximately
5000 q month, because of the In
ability to reinsure outstanding risks.
Reinsuring companies, it IL stated,
are unwilling to take the risks be-
cause of uncertainty whether re-
esivers to be appointed would ap-
prove.
Conflict Of stoekhoIdeFs.
On the heels of the pstition for the
appointment OF Messrs. wynne and
Smith as receivers, another group Of
stockholders. including Lyndon d.
Wood. H. G. Welsh, AdolphuS d. Bur-
ton and William H. Losch iled q mo-
tion to dismiss the petition.
The principal reason given for the
dismissal of the petition Is that the
turning over by the company OF its
Affairs to receivers would constitute
. breach OF Its existing contracts and
would thereby render IL impossible to
effect any re-insurance.
Gee. Action II Postponed.
Justice Mccoy postponed the hearing
on the petition and the motion until
Saturday, when the rule under the
original dissolution proceedings is
returnable.

his technical education, but the driver or the superintendent who is respon- sible for the operation of a fleet of costly trucks merely knows that over loading and overspeeding are bad It is not enough.
 The Goodrich company has gone into the offices of the best truck and automobile engineers in the country to get these reasons first hand They have been classified and stripped of their technical trimmings and put into the language of the truck driver so that everybody may understand Here tofore these facts have only been available to technically trained men.
 Those who have read this article in motor trucks of America have created such a demand for the facts told by the story that Lengthening the Life of the Motor Truck has been reproduced in pamphlet form and is being widely distributed by the Goodrich company among thousands of truck drivers and owners who have already inquired for it.
 After defining that much misunder- stood term factor of safety the article discusses the effects of overlooking on every part of the motor truck. It then gives 6 comprehensive explanation of destructive work of overspeedng Many people do not know, for instance that an object having twice the speed of another of the same weight will perform four times as much work Thus a bullet travelling 1000 feet per second will penetrate a target four times as deep as one going at the rate of 1000 feet per second. This prin- ciple is applied to the motor truck and it is shown further that vehicle tra- yelling at three times it's normal speed will suffer shocks which are nine times more violent than normal
 The story now deals with the errors in driving which embraces the selec- tiOn of gears, management of the clutch, fabrication, etc. It is unkonwn to many that a piece of steel, however smooth in appearance to the naked eye, will show under the microscope a rough surface. It is the function of the film Of oil to fill these multitudes of fluctuations and actually prevent the surface of this part from coming into contact with the surface of it's part ner in work.
 Since it is the driver who carries the destiny of the truck in his hands, it is necessary to approach and convince him that his job depends upon how strictly he adheres to the advice that is given him.
 One of the surprising features in connection with this most interesting pamphlet has been the increasing num- Der Of inquiries from large business in- stitutions operating salesmen's cars as well as extensive fleets of trucks, for the article applies as directly to the pleasure car as it does to the truck. Many of these large operators are placing this story in the hands of their drivers and superintendents in a de- terTniEed effort to lengthen the life of their cars and trucks by eliminating the evils which have heretofore made operation and depreciation so costly. The saving which a close observance of

OVERLOOKING. OVERSPEED|NG
 AND CARELESSNESS LES5EN9
 LIFE IF ALL MOTOR TRUCKS

Ever since motor trucks were first built in 1904. the overload evil has been the most serious thing that truck manufacturers have had tO contend with. The very first truck was frequently overloaded and per haps the last one will be, but in the meantime thousands of motor trucks are passing into the discard each year. Overlooking, overspeeding and carelessness in upkeep are daily shortening the life of all types of trucks, and the manufacturers only hope for the lessening of these evils is that motor truck owners and driv- CTS will profit by their costly experi- enees and effectually reduce these practices to the very minimum, if not eliminate them entirely.
 Motor truck manufacturers are not dependent, as many may assume, upon the discarding of worn -out trucks to enable them to sell new ones. There is no manufacturer Wno does not point with pride to the old est trucks of his make that are in service today. The longer the service of his trucks, the better the maker is pleased, for then the owner is not only satisfied, but this condition leads to greater sales. There has Hey 6I UtSn dH over pTOOuCIlOn or motor trucks. In fact, there has been a shortage each year and this shortage applies to all sizes and types.
 Truck builders have tried every conceivable means of eliminating the overload evil. The m1st universal action in this direction has been an absolute cancellation of the makers guarantee where the load capacity is not strictly adhered to. Many users make the mistake of thinking that the manufacturers of their trucks are unable to determine that they have been overloaded. It vi is impossible to conceal this fact for, as trucks are now being built, there is nothing else that win produce the effects that overlooking does
 When the truck builders had ap- parently exhausted every resource for combating overlooking. overspeed- ing and negligence in the general upkeep. the B. F. Goodrich company attacked the problems from an en- tirely different angle, in an iliustrat eG article published as an introduce t.on in the fifth volume of Motor Trucks of America which is issued each year by the Goodrich Truck Tire department.
 The title of this article is, Length ening the Life of the Motor Truck, :" and the story tells all that it's sub ject implies. In part it reads: Tt is of little use to tell the truck opera tor that he must not overload. must not overspeed, etc. He gets that every week of the month. It is not enough to say overlooking is bad He must be told why it is bad and given actual reasons. Always the human mind asks why and if the reason is insufficient it is not satisfied. But the reasons for overlooking are founded upon mathe- matics, an exact science

 SUPPLIES AFEAT.

DETROIT, June 16.-To mobilize the materials required for the large quan- tity production of motor cars is the task which Ray Harroun, John Guy Monihan and their associates of the Harroun Motors corporation have just completed.
 Only one who has been associated with large scale manufacturing can appreciate the surmounted difficulties which this feat implies
 No less than SO sources had to Dc drawn on for these supplies. These sources are located as far eaft as New York and New England as far west as Milwaukee and as far south as Louisville. For production to begin. it is necessary that every detail be com plete. One missing pa@t--even a nat CT bolt-would make complete cars impossible.
 How Materials Come
 The first concern was oe cOursn, for the raw materials which the liar roun plants themselves mako into complete units. Of almost equal inn portance was. however the highly re. fined product li'-e electrical eu3; pment. bought ill completed form from the accessory manufacturer. In some cases the chosen Harroun source of supply is a large operator, ! supplying many motor car builders. In others, Harroun has purcha sed the entire output of a manufacturer.
 Before these manufacturers could begin to fill the Harroun orders, given last autumn, tools had to be bought supplies ordered-in some cases. build ings constructed. Even the largo ac- cessory manufacturers had to greatly enlarge their facilities to add the 24 coo Harroun units to their annual production.
 Expert Help Gratis To synchroniZe this activity and to so arrange that delivery should be simultaneous was the assignment of the experienced production men of the Harroun staff These men centralized their efforts on the material manu- lecturers whose problems were all most difficult. They rendered telling aid in purchasing, factory arrangement and every other department
 A highly specialized force of traffic men tackled the problems of trans pOrta ton.
 Even with these carefully prepared plans, it was inevitable that the date set for mobilization would find a lag gard piece or two of equipment, but these temporary shortages had been foreseen and emergency supplies, need ] ed to bridge the gap, had been ar ranged for.
 ! For more than two weeks prior t. ! the arrival of the last piece of mate rial, the Harroun machine shops had been turning out motors and other j units, and storing them up in advance. As a result, final assembly of Ray | Harrouns new car will soon be in full swing. with the factory running ! to it's top capacity.
