In the shoe trade have been increased
from 81 to 81 week since 1916

The greatest difference in the pay

almost doubles that of the women, the
former receiving $21.20 a week and the
latter $12.21 week.

That the three-quarters-t truck

ing in all parts of the country and
In all kinds of business" said Mr..
Akers, "and on the tendency that is
unmistakable on the part of buyers
to renew their equipment with the
lighter types instead of the former
heavy ones they considered best.
Load Seldom Equals Capacity.
"The answer is simple. In only a
small percentage Of cases does the load
equal the capacity of, let us say, the
two-ton truck. And In an equally
small percentage of cases is the en-
tire load to be delivered to one place.
''In other words, the loads can just
as well be split up into two or three
smaller loads and thus render possible
the use Of the lighter, speedier truck,
with the result that two or three trips
can be made in the time 1t would other
wise take to make one and at lesser
cost per ton mile.
"NOw, If these smaller loads are to
go each to different point or to be
distributed in small lots or packages
to several points on long route, the
saving of time and fuel is still
greater.
"We used to think that If, on occa-
sion, the load would amount to two
tons or thereabout, we must have q
truck of not less than that capacity.
Experience proves this theory to have
been wrong in fully 80 per cent Of
cases.
Puncture Was Always Feared.

DID WORK OF HIGH ORDER
Designs Wrought by Ancient Peruvian
Dyers Have Been Given Much
PRAISE by Experts.

The ancients of Peru, by a curious
coincidence-for there could not pos
sibly have been any intercourse with
their contemporaries in India and
Egypt-seem to have used much the
same kind Of processes Id printing
their designs upon the fabrics they
manufactured. Both Heradotus and
Pliny, among early historians, have
told us about the cloths Of vegetable
fiber made by the ancients; but In all
likelihood the fabrics of the Peruvians
were Of even a more remote date. In
some respects the methods of today
bear strong resemblance to the older
practice. The chief difference con-
slsts In the patterns now being en-
grayed upon copper rollers and several
colors being printed at one time. Just
as today the coloring matter Of dyes
Is not affixed by merely printing 1t on
the material, but is secured by means
Of substance known as mordant, so
did the Peruvians make use Of prop
erty which caused the dye to adhere
and to withstand a test of thousands
Of years. wear and tear. Experts have
declared that in the direction of tech
meal and artistic value the designs In
question have no equal.
The Knoxville independent. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1894-current, 1918-12-21

that in city service the percentage Of
punctures is SO small as to be practi-
cally negligible.
'"The thing that has brought the
pneumatic tire to the front is the tre-
nendous saving effected in the chassis
by mounting it on air instead of on
solid rubber. There has never yet
teen found any substitute so cheap or
so resilient as air, and that, of course,
Is the basic principle $of the pneumat-
ic tire.
"Today many tire experts contend
that everything up to five tons will
ultimately be carried on pneumatic
tires, and ] find they agree with me
that the five-ton truck will be the max
imum capacity required save In certain
restricted classes of work such as
hauling coal or stone.
"Just as the three-quarter.to truck
is rapidly supplanting the two-ton We
hicle in service which the two-tOn
truck formerly performed, so the two
ton truck is now supplanting the four
and five ton truck in the heavier serv-
ice.
"The same principle holds-smaller
loads delivered in quicker time and at
lesser cost per ton MILE"

LABOR PROBLEM AFTER WAR
Abolition CT National Eight-Houf
Workday and Lowering of Present
Wage Scales Advocated.

Abolition of the national eight-hour
| day and a lowering of wartime wage
scales are essential If American mines
| and factories are to continue to COM
| pete II the world of trade, according
to William III. Barr of Buffalo, presi-
dent of the National Founders associa-
ton, who addressed the annual, conyen-
ton of the organization at New York
Declaring the liquidation of labor to
be the first and greatest problem
which will demand the attention Of our
industry" Mr.. Barr counseled the
meeting of this problem without re-
sentiment or bitterness"
THE time ahead" he declared, sis
not one of reprisals or the remember
ing Of ancient wage feuds. 1t is a
time for better understanding of basic
manufacturing principles and closer
cooperation for the common good. For
American industry will have problem
to face as serious as the war prob
lem.
"When the government ceases to be
the great common employer and gov
eminent money no longer pays the
present eXtravagant wages, can pri-
vate industry so order its affairs as
to continue to furnish employment to
the millions of our workmen? This
question, broad and comprehensive, is
the labor problem which will come aft
er the war"
Mr.. Barr demanded the withdrawal
Of government supervision, declaring
the governmental directive powers"
have proven incapable and danger
ous."
Other speakers urged that the ma
tional war board be abolished and
that employers and employees be per-
mitted TO work out their own desti-
MES.

No industry will profit more by the
war than the automobile industry.
From spark-plugs to tires the war
has made greater efficiency necessary
and the developments in this trade are
amazing. We all know how the great

troops were carried in the London pas

Driver Problem Overcome.
The Red Cross has in operation
throughout France and Italy, thousands
Of trucks and lighter automobiles.
Early in the war the problem Of get
ting competent drivers and good me-
chanics was quite an obstacle. The
Red Cross has overcome this problem
by establishing a permanent training
camp in this country known as Camp
Scott, at Sixtieth and Cottage Grove
avenue, Chicago, under my direction.
Owing to the urgent demand overseas
for capable drivers and expert me-
chanics, very rigid and intensive

listed men in this camp.

camp, and abundance of machines are
