Provost Marshal's Ruling
Should Lend Comfort

By C. E. T. scbarn.

ihent or occupation, but this does no,
include public or private chauffcurs
unless they should also be engaged in
some other occupation or employment
oehned as productive"
lhis ruling by the provost marshal
not only sets at ease the minds Of a
lot OF chauf'eurs who were pretty much
worried over the probable attitude of
the government toward their occupa-
tlon, but it appears also to put motor
ing as whole into the classification
OF something at least not apposed to
the interests of the government in war
time.
1t was not so long ago that one de-
partment of the government made a
statement classifying motor vehicles as
public utilities. Here comes along the
provost marshal to indicate clearly that
ne does not regard the chauffeurs as en-
gagged IN non-productive line of work.
Autoists Reassured
In spite of all the talk about "pleas-
ure cars" and cutting down the
production of this type of auto
mot S0f fsa aut9m10l1ts 3hs 1hav apparently need
disservice to the country by con-
tinung to use their cars, at least
when they are not being used in a
way that is clearly "joy riding" and for
pleasure purposes solely and exclu-
sively.
ut is high time that business men
were giving serious consideration to
the trailer as part of their motorized
trans .portatior equipment. Detachable
freight carrier units may be most
profitably used with light dependable
motor trucks" says w. Irvine t'lckllng
vlce-president Of the New York Fulton
Truck Company.
"Why should business man be bur-

the man who is not operating his

his pocketbook needlassly.

The big truck that is operated al

vary great deal in weight and in
many cases are on the light side, the
truck and trailer form a solution OF

EnalIsh Hereditary Offices.

Conventional epithets have once
more been used in the English news
papers about the late Lord Londesbor-
ough's hereditary office as vice admit
raj of the Yorkshire coast. In reality
there are many similar appointments
in force elsewhere. The lord mayor
Of Bristol is vice admiral of the chan
mel as far down as Holmes and pos
sesses an ancient silver oar, which he
is entitled to have borne before him
in virtue of his Office. BY a fiction of
medieval law all dead persons washed
up by the tide were considered to be-
long to the parish in which the Mer-
chant Venturers stand, and births at
e We're registered there. Before the
organization of the royal navy had
been fully developed it was convent
ent to intrust the interests of the
crown in regard to the duties of the
admiralty to local gentlemen, like the
Denisons of Scarborough, from which
the earls Of Lonsdale derive, of sufi-
cient standing to be immune from
sympathy with smuggling, which was
fhe chief difficulty in early times. For
handling maritime questions special
qualifications were necessary. which
the lord lieutenant, if he were seated
inland, might not possess.
