MOTOR TRUCK HELD TO BE CHEAPEST
 IF CARRIERS

Discovering that shipping by motor truck is not only cheaper but con siderably quicker than via railway freight the produce merchants Rack lind and Farber of Chicago and In dianapolis have inaugurated regular motor freight line between the two cities.
 Racklind and Farbcr have big storerooms in Chicago and Indian- apolis. Their freight shipments in the past have been large ones.
 Speed in shipping produce is q necessity. Slow moving freight trains have often caused the con- mission merchants a heavy financial loss.
 Several weeks ago the firm was unable to secure a through car for q load of goods a Chicago hotel was requiring. A truck owned by the firm was loaded with 1900 pounds Of perishable freight in Indianapolis. The run to Chicago, 1S6 miles, was made in 13 hours.
 The truck arrived at the hotel without the double loading and un loading required when shipment is by rail. The roads were covered with snow and ice for the entire length of the trip. The truck. which was a | Maxwell, made the journey without a bit of mechanical trouble. "The Maxwell truck performed 90 well and is so extremely economical that we are going to make the inter | city freight deliveries three times T week." stated Racklind after a recent arrival in Chicago.

ONLY FIVE MEN

(RrooklNn Eagle)


 Officers returning from the front line trenches on a British liner tell of battle losses that are almost incredible.
 Lieut.. John w. Townsend of Buffalo, who was attached to an ambulance corps, told of his experience on the VerdUn front.
 An example of the toll the German guns take" he said, lis the Ninety fourth French Infantry of the Forty second Division That regiment has been under fire more than fOrty-three time since the three years it has been fighting and there are today only five men of the original regiment living. Since it went to the front the first time it has had 130 GOO men sent to fill it up.
 What they call an attacking bat talion consists of 1900 men and after one of their attacks has been made, there is an so per cent loss to count, al ways that much.
 Along that 9-mle front at Nerdun where the German crown prince has been trying to get through the French have 36, ,000 guns. Half of these are 75s and when the action gets warm, the expenditure of ammunition is million rounds q day. The uproar is frightful.
 of course, we are going to win this war, but not until we have suffered, and it is time the American people wake up and realize what we are up against. You don't know much over here what hell it is over there. You must be prepared for casualties; lots of them. The people ought to know this and not be allowed to think that 1t is a picnic we are going in for

TIRE CONSERVATION |S URGENT NEED
 IN WAR TIME

Make two miles grow where one grew before This is what both tire manufacturer and consumer are in terested in now more than ever be- fore. For years the great rubber manufacturing companies have em- ployed the best brains of the coun- try to put the best materials obtain able into tires. They have conducted extended experiments in the field and in the laboratory, and have created efficient machinery and equipment to the common end that pneumatic tires might be made better than the tires of a decade ago.
 In this program the Goodyear Tire & Rubber company has been one of the recognized leaders That motor ists might derive the greatest mileage from their tires, this company intro duced the dealer service idea. So that now motorists are not only able to purchase better tires than formerly, but are informed along tire conservo- ton lines. Advice on tie imitation, de- tcction of stone bruises, tread cuts and other tire ailments-all these the tire buyer receives when purchasing q tire.
 But the building or nlleS Into llles goes even beyond that. Often tire ills are beyond hope of cure by the own CT, and an appeal to the tire repair man is necessary. And the far-seeing repairman does more than repair the tire that is brought to him-he in spects the other three tires for inn pending trouble. This is his service.
 In the manufacture of proper repair materials the needs of Vulcanizers are kept well in mind. The every day problems of the repairman are being duplicated at the factory con

WHY BRIDES LOVE
 THE MONTH OF JUNE
(Pittsburg Chroniclel

The first people to adopt the month of June as sacred to Hymen, the god of marriage, were the ancient Romans, who considered June the most propi- tious season of the year for entering upon matrimonial relations.
 The Romans held that June weddings were likely to be happier than alliances contracted in any other month of the year, especially if. the day chosen were that of the full moon.
 They also held that of all months May was the most avoided, as in that month newlyweds would come under the influence of spirits adverse to hap py households.
 These ancient marriage superstitions were related by the Christians in the Middle Ages, and even today June is considered by many to be pre- eminent ly the month of marriages. The word wedding" is derived from the ancient Anglo Saxon we'd custom.

Fly Motor Cars are Equipped tCith Corburefor "Chokeys"

The "chcker.' as it's name implies. shuts of the air supply to the carburetor. This is to permit the flow, to the cylin- ders, of richer charge of gasoline gasoline vapor in which there IS less air content. A richer mixture explodes more readily, thereby furnishing more heat. Thisgreater supply of heat warns up the. motor more readily, so 1t will run with greater smoothness. A richer mixture means more gasoline. and it is. therefore, waste.
 In the Columbia Sir. radiator shut ters, controlled by thermostat, keep cold air away from the motor. enabling 1t to warm up quickly, and without enrich ing the mixture except when the motor is extremely cold, and then only briefly.

TOW to keep motor cool always \ l has been a big problem for engi- neers. They never thought of design ing a motor to retain heat. The big job was to get rid of 1t.
 But the poor quality of present day gasoline reversed the old problem. The big task now is to maintain motor temperature that will vaporize this poor quality gasoline.
