TRUCK
SYSTEM UP TO MAKER
Manufacturers Should Bear Share
of Keeping Up Transportation.


A constantly increasing share Of the
burden Of keeping up the motor truck
transportation system Of the country
to the highest level Of efficiency
should be assumed by the truck man
ufacturers, according to william Full
ton Melhuish, president Of the Fulton
Motor Truck Company, Of Farming
dale. Long Island
Mr.. Melhuish points out that, while
motor truck hauling depends 10 q
large extent on the ability of the
manufacturers to obtain the raw
material for production and on their
ability to deliver after the trucks have
been built. q great deal can be ac-
complished by teaching the truck
owner the importance of 100 per cent
operation.
Makers can speed their production
to the breaking point, but unless the
trucks already in use are loaded to
capacity and operate full time, the
output will fall far short Of the de-
mand, he says. The truck buyer
should know the capacity of his
truck and use 1t all. He should know
not only the rated capacity, but the
overload. and the rated speed. In
short, he should know his truck
thoroughly to make the best possible
use of it, and the responsibility lies
with the manufacturers to teach him.
so far, the Fulton Motor Truck
Company has had no difficulty In
making deliveries by freight and
drive-aways Of all the trucks they
could manufacture, but to guard
against the time when deliveries will
be more difficult we are urging owners
to bring their operation to 100 per
cent efficiency"

The Importance of an automobile
being properly fabricated at all
times, cannot be overemphaSized,
because on the fabrication system
depends the smooth working Of all
parts. Because the many intricate
moving units which form the
''works'' OF an automobile are ma
chined to work in the very closest
harmony, the absence Of the proper
amount of fabrication not only
slows up their operation, but de-
velops friction, which Is the frst
step to premature deterioration.

automobile engineers have brought

importance manufacturers give to

Youngsters Comment, However, Could

A fond auntie was left to amuse her
small niece and nephew while their
mother went shopping. James became
deeply interested in his toy engine and
tiny Ruth was absorbed in watching
auntie cut out beautiful paper dolls.
One Of these appealed to her particu-
larry and she would scarcely wait for
auntie to finish.
"Oh, auntie isn't she pretty7 She's
blue"
Yes, she is lovely. And see what
a faicy dress she has on. Look at her

The last word caught serious-mind-
ed James attention.
"Auntie, show me the train"
Auntie pointed to the deep flounce
which was set on with large plaits and
which was long enough at the back for
quite sweep. James took it in his
hands and examined it closely and 81
lently for few moments. Handing
it back, he said solemnly:

TheosophIc Philosophy.

Here is bit of theosophic philos-
ophy from the Theosophical Path, Of
fetal magazine of the oriental cult or
religion:
another important element In the
production Of state Of tranquility Is
a firm and constant belief in the eff
cacy Of right motive. A Theosophist
believes that good, pure, true thoughts
are real powers that must yield their
results in peace and harmony: in 9th
err words he has faith and believes that
1t Is worth while to follow conscience,
for conscience is an inner guide work
ing for our welfare. BY accepting and
studying the law Of Karma, he soon
learns to perceive its working in his
own life and those of his companions !;
and thus his faith is gradually turned
to knowledge. And so he Is no longer
at odds with destiny, like so many who
have no true philosophy of life; for he
begins to realize that man makes his
own destiny, and chat the soul, or real
man within, DEGREES whatever fate Is
best suited to the real needs of the
Individual. We must Ill pass through
experiences pleasurnble and painful,
but orr happiness depends on our atti-
tude toward them; and If, instead Of
resenting unpleasant circumstances,
we accept them as necessary lessons,
we can thereby convert them into ad-
vantages."
