COMMERCIAL MOT OR TRUCKS ID A|D
 WINNING WAR

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 3.-Use of commercial motor trucks for inter- city and interstate transportation of freight is regarded by motor experts here as a means of helping to relieve the war freight congestion and of thus helping to win the war So rapidly is this system of freight delivery, even on relatively long hauls, being developed that automobile manufacturers are taking steps to bring about the con- struction of heavier types of roadbed and 1t has been proposed that the gov ernment be saked to assume control of the main arteries of motor transporta- ton during the war
 The commercial motor truck is de- Veloplng faster than any other form of transportation according to figures made public here by dealers These show that in this district alone, where many truck lines between Philadelphia. New York, Baltimore, Washington and other points are now in operation. there was a nine hundred Der cent increase In 1917 over the preceding year in the use of these carriers.
 Heretofore motor trucks carrvinp, many lines of freight have been operat- ing between the larger cities in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware and Maryland but the war freight congestion has forced small communities to take up the idea on q large scale.
 According to official reports from most of the counties in these five states, many of the largest firms and corporations in these states now are using the motor truck for intercity and interstate freight delivery. The cost, these reports point out, is about the same as it is for railway freight but the saving in time has been SC great that big business establishments were rapidly converted to the use o1 the gasoline propelled carrier.
 In the use of the motor truck at tn, present time, according to official. following it's development, speedy de. nVery IS the main consideration. The Lincoln highway and other road, adapted to the work attract a lare, proportion of the cars but other route, are being used and high efficienc, maintained even in the face of sever, weather conditions which would tie LII rail freight

men who can fit into this service. The class is being operated in connection with the company's factory school ana is in charge of the company's wireless operator. The course that has been formulated covers period of twenty weeks.
 The Goodyear plant operates twenty four hours a day in shifts Of eight hours each. but the classes have been arrange so that every employ deslr- ing the course, may be accommodated, no matter what factory shift he may be working on.
 This cooperative measure IS but one of many that the company has put into effect to supplement the training or men for our army of democracy. These measures have covered a wide range or subjects, all of which have helped the men to obtain earlier promotion from the ranks than would have been possi- ble without them. Two thousand men have gone out from this company's or ganization, many of whom have writ ten that their chances for promotion had been greatly enhanced because of the training secured in the factory school classes.

STUDEbAKER DETROIT
 PREFERENCE IN MOTOR CARS
THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR, DE- TROIT REGISTRATION SHOW
 MORE STUDEBAkERS IN USE

Since the advent of the automobile into the daily life and activity of the nation, Detroit has forged ahead all most unbelievably in her manufactur- ing pursuits until now sine ranks as the largest automobile producing center in the world. And, as a whole, knoWl- edge of automobiles is far more general and exact in Detroit than in any other city on earth.
 Detroit's population has increased by leaps and bounds since the coming of the great motor car plants. A big per 1 centaSe of the residents are either di- rectly engaged in the motor car indus 1 try now, or coming into daily contact with people who are. Everyone talks cars in Detroit-they study them from every angle and hear all the gossip from the great factories established in the city. Their knowledge of the plants and the efficiency of the manufacturing organizations is thorough-and they know the men back of the cars, too.
 So when it is known during 1915, 1916 and again in 1917, more Stude- baker cars were registered and oper- ated in the city of Detroit than any other make of car selling over $500, there can be little doubt as to which car is Detroit's preference. And it is perfectly obvious that people who know, cars-know how they are made and what they are made of-also know value in cars.
 As one would expect. in a city known far and wide as the home of automo- biles,'' there are thousands of cars in daily use. Traffic and parking prob lems have taxed the resourcefulness of city officials and the problems grow each year as the number of new cars are added to the total in operation Under these conditions it is surprising to note that any one particular make of car could predominate as does the Studebaker.
 Studeoakers three-year leadership ir the city where three- fourth of all the automobiles in ure are produced is significant, and to the prospective pur. chaser of an automobile anywhere il carries a conviction that greatly sim plifies the problem of selecting the right car.

STURDY BUILDING |S DEMANDED FUR
 TRA|LERS

With the increasing use of trailers in all lines of business the question which most frequently pops up in the mind of the prospective purchaser IS, what kind of a trailer shall I buy to get most economical and satisfactory service ?'
 This is the question that was put last week to E. w. Bennett. president and manager of the Los Angeles Trailer company, who in answering made the following suggestions:
 Types of body, size and class, whether two wheels or four, will be automatically governed by the kind of work required and the loads to be car ried. Another important feature, however, enters into the purchase and satisfactory operation of a trailer to be used behind a motor vehicle which all buyers should be aware of and care fully consider before purchasing.
 Not every buyer realizes that a trailer is called on frequently to per form a duty at least as heavy as that required of truck. in many instances even heavier, and consequently the sturdiest possible construction is nee essary if the trailer is expected to stand up in service for any length of time.
 Tt should be obvious that ordinary | wagon construction, no matter how staunch, will not do the work. Motor i trailer construction is more nearly akin to motor truck construction than :. anything else, and our long experience in manufacturing has proved that nothing else will do. For that reason our Utility trailer construction is built for the special purpose of giving per manent, satisfactory service behind motor vehicles.
 Not only the loads but the greater l speeds at which motor trailers are hauled demands more particular and stronger construction than that used ir wagons Bearings in the wheels must be ball or roller, depending on tht loads to be carried, instead of plair bearings. Springs must be resilient yet of strength as great as needed tC support the load and chassis frame: and axles must be of alloy steel sucf as is used by motor trucks, the size:
 of course, being graduated to the sizt

MAXWELL TRUCK IS DEMONSTRATED
 FUR QUALITY

Having successfully completed the first sanctioned demonstration of dur ability, mechanical dependability and operating economy ever undertaken by q truck subject to the check and final authoritative figures of the American Automobile association, New York the 4. A. A. has just completed for the Maxwell Motor company a series of reports covering the test which will prove to be of lively interest to busi- ness men everywhere.
 Simultaneously with the writing of the detail reports covering the test, the A. A. A. also has issued for the Maxwell Motor company certificate If stock car registration for the truck. This means that the car used answered in every particular the specifications of the regular output of the Maxwell fac tories. The certificate of registration gives the highest guarantee this coun- try has available that the car used in the test contained nothing different from any Maxwell one-t ton truck on a dealers display floor anywhere.
 The stock status of the demonstrate ing truck was certified to after the of fetal technical examination. One of the highliGhts of this examination was the fact that despite the long test made the mechanical parts of the car motor, transmission. rear axle-re- vealed practically no describable wear
 The demonstration extended iron New York to Jacksonville, Fla, anc return-2488 miles all told. Three tor loads, each of a different character were transported. None of the load. was what is known as an "easy" load The A. A. A. reports cover the charac. ter of the loads in detail

minor adjustments were made on the carburetor and on the gasoline feed line One set of puncture proof tires constituted the entire tire equipment needed. This is significant of the weight of distribution in Maxwell con- struction and means much to the truck user who has become informed of the importance of this factor in car build ing.
 That any average driver could du- plicate the performance with any stock Maxwell truck is perhaps the most complete standardization any motor company has ever been given in the language of a final report from the A. A. A, this statement being con- tained in the official observers re port The observer was James A. Hamstreet, for seven years identified with the A. A. A. offices.
 If the largest corporation in the United States sought the most reliable dependent figures available on truck performance before investing in a fleet of these work cars it would not be possible to obtain them in any quarter whose figures carry stronger force than do those of the A. A. A. The A. A. A. has conducted all the big speedway races in this country, award ing thousands of dollars in prizes and establishing official figures that the world has depended upon. It was foI this reason that the Maxwell company asked the cooperation of this body when it was decided to make its test of the one-ton truck
 The car was technically examined at several of the army camps in the south and at two of these it was pro- nounced by the quartermaster to bt
 the best one-ton truck this official evel | had seen. Maxwell dealers are to bc
 supplied with the complete detail re- ports and it is expected that because
 of the widespread interest in truck. these figures will have much interesr for business men.

RAPID TRANSMISSION IF MESSAGES |S
 WAR NECESSITY

Among the most important require ments in the prosecution of the war is the rapid transmission of messages. And among the various methods used to convey them, one of the most i'm portant is the telegraph. Words of warning and instruction are constantly being sent over the battle fronts by this means, either by wires or wireless.
 But to render the telegraph of great est service, competent men must neces- sarily be trained in the art of handling the telegraph key. Many men are needed in this branch of the service. The Goodyear Tire and Rubber com pany of Akron, Ohio, is one of the country's big concerns that has recog- nized the importance of training ef- ficient telegraphers for the work that lies ahead So this company has in augurated a class in telegraphy, as a measure of cooperation with the gov ernment in assisting in the training of entire distance with materials from ! Detroit, Michigan. The other which started from Buffalo, New York, used this road part of the way through l Pennsylvania to an Atlantic port. Forty trucks comprised the second train. Runs will be made regularly from now 1 on, it is expected.
 Heavily laden motor trucks are com mon sights on any of the roads con- meeting the larger shipping centers of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland Some are operated by hauling and express firms. some carry
 United States mails but the majority are the property of manufacturers.

Administrator Says To Plan for a
Cleaner Threshing

Plans to save wheat and other
small grains at their source by clean
er threshing, were announced today
as a new activity of the United States
Food Administration. Best esti-
mates show a preventable loss OF
more than three bushels of grain In
every hundred bushels threshed. This
amount, it is believed, can be saved
for human consumption by more care
full methods and better mechanical
condition Of threshiAg outfits.
In cases of conspicuously poor
nearly ten per cent of the
grain has, in the past, gone into the
straw stack. Last fall many farmers
in the Central West Refreshed old
wheat stacks and recovered large
quantities of marketable grain.
To effectively conduct this seasons
drive for more careful and cleaner
threshing, a special grain threshlng
division has been established under
the Food Administration Grain Cor
poration. with general Offices at AZ
Broadway, New York City. AT the
head of the new division is Captain
Kenneth u. Hequembourg, L. S. r.,
an active wheat producer of Okla
homa, who has had first hand thresh-
ing experience.
