TRUCKS TO SOLVE
HAULAGE QUESTION
IN UNITED STATES
Commercial Vehicles and
Improved Highways Will
Aid Transportation

Never in history has transporta-
ton in the United States been so far
behind the needs OF the moment. Our
railroads are unable to cope with the
situation and will continue to be so
new equipment built speedily, and the
condition Of the labor supply makes
railroad expansion on a large scale
unthinkabie. Automotive Industries
asserts that not all of our forms Of
transportation together can hope to
catch up with the demand till long
after the end Of the war, but it is pos
sible to make the situation little
less serious by organized Use Of
roads.
Roads can be built quickly and
trucks produced speedily. Trucks
properly applied can relieve the rail
roads of much short haul traffic,
which is the most troublesome rail-
road proposition. Today every one,
railroad men included, is looking TO
wheels Of commerce to keep turning.
Coming Of Motor Truck.
The world was slow to realize the
immense potentiality Of railroads: IL
has been slow. to grasp the fact that
the motor truck Is going to affect civ
ilization almost as powerfully.
The truck industry Is on the |
threshold Of a development which |
may even surpass that of railroads. |
The industry is I'm a more advanced |
state Of development than our rail- |
roads were in the middle Of the nine
teenth century. This is particularly !
encouraging, considering that roads !
were none too good, which, by the |
way, is one Of the reasons why the
truck business is not increasing in
some parts of the country. When
The extreme importance Of railroads
was recognized companies were Civ

TRACTOR DEMAND
WILL COME WITH
PRESENT CRISIS
Labor Shortage and Insult
ticient Farm Power Con
front Nation Today e.

1t has become q truism that the
food shortage with which the world
Is now confronted is so serious as
to demand the careful consideration
Of all persons responsible in anv
way to the nation for its food sun
plies, The Society Of Automobile
engineers has recently pointed out
the most practical way to proceed
to increase the small grains crops.
All conservation and distribution
Of foodstuns under government
direction must, Of course, be based
upon the crops produced. The
amount Of several important crops
has for some time been decreasing
with relation to the countrys popu-
htion and the war has Of course
aggravated conditions. To give as
surance to the farmers in planning
their operations, the government
VIII probably set a minimum price
on some crops for term of years
as has been done in England.
Lack Of Farm Power.
The present inability OF farmers
20 raise more grain is due to lack
OF sufficient farm power and the
scarcity Of farm labor. For farm
power the farmers are dependent
tractors. The animal power on the
farm will of necessity decrease
owing to the demand OF the army |
tor horses and mules, and If the |
farmer should start now to raise !
horses in the hope of increasing the |
supply, 1t would be four years be- |
fore they would be available for
farm work.
This condition indicates clearly |
the necessity OF the intelligent use /
OF farm tractors on a large scale.
The tractor does not tire as a horse
does, IL not effected by the heat and >
can be operated twenty-four hours
day II necessary. Many tractors
are operated insficientiy now be-
causs the farmers owning them do
not understand them sufficiently
we'll to get the best results.
Accurate statistics collected by
the bureau Of farm management Of
the department OF agriculture show
that there are now available in the
different states OF the union APP
$4,000 tractors.
Materials Are Needed.
The limiting factors today in the
production of tractors are shortages
OF materials, machine tools and la
Dor The government has been ask
ed by the tractor standards division
OF the Society OF Automotive En-
Einsers, Of which n. l.. Horning is
to devise means whereby
the tractor manufacturers can be
furnished with the materials, ma
chine tools and labor required In
suitable quantities. IL Is demon
strated that skilled labor can serve
the country IN no better way than
by participating in the production of
tractors. Il
Many agricultural colleges and (
schools are training J
tractor operators. They have built
the foundations which will enable
thsm 20 enlarge their operations to
any degree required under a proper
plan. President George w. Durham J
of the Society Of Automotive En-
yineers and his co-laborers have {
presented arguments that IL IL en-
tirely feasible through the proper 7

WOMEN UNDERSTAND CARS.

You would be surprised how much
the women know about the mechan-
ical side OF a motor car" said the
manager OF a motor ear agency. II
was astounded recently by the rapid
fire questions from a young woman
who asked about the ignition sys-
tenn, the fabrication system, and the
engine, and power transmission. She
talked as inteliigently about such
topics as a seasoned chauffeur. This
young lady told me that since her
brother had gone to the trenches it
was up to her to know the naechan-
zeal side Of motor car or let it stand

immense coal fields, boundless for
ests and many other valuable con-
| cessions. No such aid has been Of
fered the truck industry, although
there is every reason why 1t should
receive as generous treatment as the
railroads did in their early years.
The great point is that the truck
industry has now reached a degree OF
growth when IL is a substantial pow
er in transportation. There are no
more questions Of competition with
railroads. The truck Is taking its
place alongside the locomotive.
Scientific Road Hauisse.
We are only at the beginning OF
scientific road haulage. Trailers have
proved their worth, yet the handling
OF them is still largely experimental.
The tractor truck seems to be gain
ing a particular place for itself.
Perhaps the greatest thing that the
country has grasped, mainly within
the last two years, Is that roads are
as essential to civilization as, say,
artificial Hight. Today we are build
ing roads, not to attract the tourist
but for the vital purpose OF getting
TO our people the necessities Of life.
This realization was the first es-
sentiaI in the greater expansion Of
the truck business which Is now COM
mencing. Today we see the termina-
ton Of the incubation period, the in
dustry Is fully alive.
Civilization has never made organ
lied use Of its roads since the coming
OF the railway. The roads are there
for any one to use how and when he
likes, but their adaptabiltty to the
running Of trains or conveys Of vehi- !
cles on schedule has never been tried |
for anything but military purposes. |
True, there are a few public carriers. |
but their energies are mainly devoted |
t6 delivery as opposed to transport. |
Before many months are over we |
shall see conveys Of motor trucks |
on rigid time tables, haul |
ing goods over long distances and |
thus getting a far larger percentage |
Of return from the money spent on |
roads than ever before.
War Shows Possibilities.
Three years of war have shown the
world what is possible In transporta-
ton by road, with proper organiza-
ton 10 handle il. and this lesson is
not to be lost. 1t has its commercial
application on perhaps an even larger
scale. The railroads are no longer in
opposition. They see in the truck a
20 operator and a helper.
All these things have created a de-
nand that cannot be supplied-a de-

Camp Is Open
(By Associated Press.)

Lake Charles, La, June 14.-Avia-
tors. from training camps throughout
the country are completing their
education in aerial gunneTy at the
new finishing school near here. From
sunrise to sunset the planes are dart"
ing here and there. sometimes near
the earth and again at high altt~
tudes and the rattle of machine guns
Is almost continuous.
The targets at the first school OF
its kind to be established in the Unit
ed States are reproductions Of Ger
man "taube" airplane placed on the
surface of the lake and with, black
cross painted thereon to represent
the enemy pilot the principal mark
for the gunners. The students easily
discern the striking Of a bullet on
the water and are able to correct
their fire. almost instantly II the
shots go wide. The results, instruct
ors declare. are more than crafty
ing, but just what records the young
fiiers have made Is information with
held from the public.
The training in gunnery Is as COM
plete as it is humanity possible to
make it. Before being sent to the
camp the students are required to
undergo a course of ground schooling
at Gerstner Field. near here. From
Gerstner Field they go to the lake
and, in classes of 80. are put to work
on the "taube" and a small aerial tar
get released at an altitude OF about
5000 feet. The students are graded
according to their proficiency in fir
ing and when they make the percent
age of hits required are discharged
from the school.
Both the small machines, carrying
only a pilot, and the larger plane
with a pilot and observer, are in use
at the school.
