Success or Failure Of Motor

To the motor truck owner the SER

facturer or from his representative
In the city in which the owner lives
is the most important consideration
in the operation of motor trucks to-
day. A truck must be kept running
TO make money for its owner. Every
day that II stands idle by the inabil-
ity to secure some repair part from
the factory or its local representative
means not only the loss Of that days
business but additional losses due to
the inability OF the truck owner to
deliver his goods as planned. II the
truck owner happens to sell trans
portation service, his inability to de-
liver the goods as agreed upon in ad-
dition means a loss in prestige which
is very difficult TO recover.
With the idea Of giving the owner
the best service possible in the least
possible time. the West Motor Com

STANDARD PARTS AID
TO EASY REPAIRING
Can Be Obtained at Strange Deal
ers. Advises Expert.

F. +. San;bush, factory sales man.
ager Of the Columbia Motors Com
pany, calls TO the notice of the mo-
torist who drives a car made OF stand
ard parts. the fact that he can fire.
quently, when touring, secure service
at dealers other than those who sell
the motorists own make of automo-
bile.
The touring motorist who drives a
car which uses such standard and
widely used units as Continental Mo-
tor. Timken axle. Warney transmis-
sion. etc, can produce quick. eco
nomical service in the garage of a
dealer who handles a different make
OF n car using these same units" says
Mr.. Sangbush, who formerly was one
o. the best known service managers
in the country.
"The average motorist either does
not realize this or Is prone to forget
il. when by going TO n dealer who
handles a car using these makes of
units, he could save time and money
on his repairs.
Count up the number of ears using
Continental Motors. Timken aNles and
other well-known units and YOU will
find that the driver of n ear using
such widely used units is in an espe-
cially favorable position i'm regard TO
repairs which may be possible when
touring, because a dealer who handles
a car with these units is practically
always within easy reach. In this con-
nection. it is especially noteworthy
that the Continental Motors Company
is now establishing service stations at
principal points in the United States.
"Of course, the wise motorist will
always go to his own dealer when
possible, as it is obvious that the NOR
chant who handles his car will be
more interested, and best equipped to
give service"

FRENCH LANGUAGE OF WAR.

Almost every word in the English
language which has to do with war
and armies was taken from the.
French. That very word army, for
instance. has been derived from
armee. So Il is with the designa ton
OF officers. From corporal to general,
the titles OF military men are French.
And such terms as seise. fort, man.
euver. melee, grenadier, bayonet and
so on are all excellent French The
reason for this is not far to seek.
France was the great military power
OF the continent from the beginning
of the Middle Ages, and led the world
In the perfection OF military science.
As a result French became the mill
tary language Young men from all
over Europe were sent to France for
training in the art OF war. and re-
turned home with a French vocabu-
larry for everything pertaining to their
business.-Chicago Journal.

Debate in Chamber Of Depu-
ties Shows Scandalous
State Of Affairs.
PRICE FORCED HIGH
Housewife Can Get None;
big Buyers Have to Pay
SIS for Every Ton.
PRICE FORCED HIGH

Paris. June Correspondents. y
A housewife in Paris cannot buy a
50-pOund sack Of coal at any price,
but large consumers have been OBJ
tanning il In lots OF from two to ten
tons at SIS n ton. This situation was
disclosed in the debate In the cham
ber OF deputies on the economic situ-
alton. 1t Is attributed to facilities at
forded for speculation by the licenses
through which the government hoped
TO regulate the traffic.
The licenses acquired ut once n trad
ing value that was put to profit by
people who had never had anything
to do with the coal trade. Dressma-
kers, lawyers. society men. commits
sion merchants OF all kinds. dealt, in
these licenses, each one taking as big
profit as he could get in passing II
to the next buyer.
Six People Handle Ton.
Maurice Viollette. minister of pro-
visions. cited a typical case. The price
OF coal originally BOUGHT at $50 n ton
went 10 SO 4 ton ny passing through
the hands OF six Intermediates. none
OF whom had anything to do with the
coal business before this license WAS
issued.
NJ. Brunei. deputy from Paris. cited
a consumer who was able to buy ten
ton sof coal. five years supply, while
tenants OF the same building could
not obtain enough to cook n meal and
were Obliged to use gas. These facts
have SO impressed the public" said NJ
Brunei. that people of very moder-
ate ideas have declared to the author
ties that If the situation continues II
, means revolution"
No New Licenses.
The minister Of provisions has de
cided to issue no licenses to importers
| who were not regular dealers before
| the war. and proposes n law punish
ing speculation in coal by fines and
| imprisonment,
Trading has gone on not only In
importation licenses, but in options for
the purchase of ships. One concern
pretending to have options on 60 ves-
| sells was asked for a statement of it,
! affairs. It's real capital was found tc
be $50. The minitser declared that
this traffic had been stopped.
! The rate OF coal importation which
had improved in January. February
and March. has been affected by the
submarine campaign and gone dowr
to 100000 tons q month below last
years figures. Extraordinary efforts
are being made to increase the pro-
duction Of French mines and thus re.
assure the population as to the stu
