 "The enforced use of auto trucks l in order to meet the transportation problems brought on us by the war;" according to recent statement Dy l J. N. Gum, president of the United States Tire company, twill give the business men such taste of the sat isfactory results to be obtainedrby the use of these trucks that see ncth- | ing but tremendous business in pros | pect for our truck tire manufacturing departments"
 In centering its truck tire produc- ticn in Providence, the United States Tire company believes it has adopted wise bit of business strategy; for as yet the heaviest truck sales are on the Atlantic seaboard. Providence is | admirably situated as g distributing point for this territory and offers ex- cellent transportation facilities, espc- cially by water routes. For it's output | of tires for passenger cars, the com pany centers it's efforts at Detroit, tke greatest car producing city in the
 nation, and at Indianapolis, with a large eastern factory at Hartford. The American Locomotive plant with floor area of 245,S4S square feet, is on tract of 10 acres with
 river frontage and with siding connection with the main line of the New Haven road. It is equipped with , q large power plant and modern sprinkler system; has an up-to o-date ! humidifying plant, and is generally considered one of the finest manu- ! featuring units in New England. It is l in the heart of the city's industrial district and has such well known neighbors as the Nicholson File com pany and Browne & Sharp. The build. 1 ings are in excellent condition and ready for immediate use.

Colt, president of the United States Rubber company, livc1 l in Rhode Island and is receiving many congratulations from his fellow citi- zens for having landed for Rhode Island a business enterprise which, when in full operation. will add at least 5000 employees to the pay rolls of the Revere plant.
 Although the United States Rubber company has authorized no statement as to when it expects to begin oper- ations in the new buildings. it Is un- derstood that it desires at the earl- fest possible moment to make use of the increased facilities in order as soon as possible to render greater aid to the government on pressing war work.

 The property imm ediately adjoins the Revere plant of the United States Rubber company, where the company has concentrated its solid tire activi. ties. The new plant will be part of the Revere unit, which thus becomes dominant factory in the country for the manufacture of solid truck tires. The enlarged organization of the unit will remain under the direction of N. W.

ROADS FILLED WITH

F. H. Rengers, general sales man. ager of the Moon Motor Car company of St. Louis. has just returned from an extended trip through Illinois, Mis- souri and Kentucky, where he ar ranged for a number of drive-aways of Moon cars for St. Louis to dealers In these states. Tt is almost unbe- ltevable that there are as many cars driven from factories to dealers and ultimate users as saw in Illinois Ohio. Missouri and Kentucky" said Rengers. Everywhere along the roads
 they are coming in strings. The deal-
 CTS have found that delivery by rail- road Is now impossible and will re-
 main so for long time to come and they have taken the bull by the horns or rather have taken the automobile

"The trailer idea" says H. c. True. hauf, general manager of the Frue- hauf Trailer company of Chicago Ifs not new. In fact, 1t dates back to the primitive man of prehistoric times who endeavorea to solve the problem of transportation by loading his goods ana chatteis on sledge and dragging them.
 The Aborigines of America. used to place poles on each side of horse and with cross sticks and thongs bind a load that the animal could not begin, to carry.
 This idea has been passed down tnrougn the ages to the present day users of motor trucks. And in the de- velopment of the semi-traRler, we have an economical and efficient solution to the heavy transportation problem

MEMORY THAT WILL LAST
French Gratitude to America Is
Deeply Engraved on the Hearts
Of Her People.

Kathleen Norris writing in the
Woman's Home Companion, gives an
imaginary conversation with a young
French girl describing the coming of
the American soldiers to France as she
is supposed to remainder it:
"'And men-to stand beside our
men-from Americal I remember
standing at the chateau gateway on a
bright November afternoon and seeing
them come up the road. Soldiers We
were used to soldiersi But these were
different. Grandmere was with me,
we had been here all the time.
"They came along, In the stream
ing afternoon sunlight, and they smiled
and waved at me. "They are the
Americans grandmere said, and she
began to cry softly. "God bless them
God bless them!" she whispered,
over and over. And that night, as you
know, we had their officers at the
chateau, and one of them told me he
also had daughter, not much younger
than I, and that her name was Vir-

prospect Of 1t.
The results were much better than
they dreamed. The new seeds that
they planted just seemed to spring
from the ground and form big healthy
plants. No more chickens died. They
were ready for the market earlier than
most spring fowl and brought big
prices. The time spent at the lots

Aerial Tank.

An aerial tank has been invented
and put into practical use by Italian
soldiers who have astounded the world
by their extraordinary feats In noun
tain warfare. An Austrian machine
gun emplacement was 50 situated on
a mountain side that It poured har-
assing fire into an Italian post. The
Austrian position was unassailable by
ordinary means. but it was necessary
that 1t be wiped out. A 'Teleferica"
car, many Of which are operated by
the Italians across chasms and up
mountain sides, was armored and
equipped with machine guns. Volun-
teers were called for, and from the
many who responded two were chosen
to man the guns. This fmprovised
aerial dreadnaught was then swung
out across the valley, After one or
two exploration trips at dizzy height,
the men in the car finally located the
Austrian post and quickly put it out

not in her usual pleasant frame Of
mind.

1t was too late to undo Them She

Why, 1t was Albert Beddome, the &C

He was hammertng away at small

his feelings, she wondered which. AL
had worked another hour, Gwendoline
was not ready to give In. She could
work at her gardening just as long as
he could work around his chickens.
She wished she had chosen chickens to
raise instead Of vegetables. She knew
much more about them and the work
was not nearly so hard. They were as
necessary, too. She had been unwise
to think that gardening would be so
much fun. She had enjoyed two
months on her uncle's poultry farm
one summer, and had learned a lot
about chickens. OF course, she would
not have been able to build the coops
and runs-at least not very well. 1t
was hard to admit, even to herself,
that there were BONE things men could
do that women could not. That she
would win out on that garden, though,
she resolved firmly.
1t looked very much as If she was
going to win out, too. The lot was
really q small one, but 1t seemed a
whole farm by the time Gwendoline
had it all spaded and raked. The
planting of the seeds was more inter
esting. When they started to sprout
through the ground, she was sure her
fortune was made. A week Of splen-
did growing weather worked wonders
with the plants, and she could hardly
contain her Joy when she made her
daily visits. Then came special rush

Gwendoline knew just exactly where
she had laid her spade. but apparently
1t had disappeared. After searching
vainly about her own lot, she looked at
the next lot. There stood her spade
against chicken-run.
"The nerve of some people," she
gasped, as she made her way to secure
the missing tool. THAT is just like a
man to have no tools of his own and to
come borrowing mine," she muttered,
as she started back. When she glanced
over the lot she noticed big change.
More than half was dug up, and she
was sure she had only spaded about
quarter of it. The borrower Of her
spade had done the rest. that was ap-
parent. Gwendoline wished he had left
1t alone, Just the same. Perhaps 1t was
very nice of him, she reflected, but 1t
looked to her very much like interferi
ence. She would not have undertaken
to cultivate that building lot If she had
not thought she could do 1t unalded..
Women could dig just as well as men.
This greater-production campaign was
going to show 1t. To begin with. more
girls than men had take up the idea of
cultivating empty building lots. Gwen
doline was equipped with complete
gardening outfit, costume and ALL She
started in spading again, but after a
few minutes she had to stop to rest.
''If you would hold your spade lit
tie higher up the handle. you would
find the work much easier" she heard
a mans voice say.
Gwendoline raised her shoulders and
stood at her full height. She could feel
just how impressive she was in her
costume. She was hot and tired and
