STAMP INVESTORS
Z TO Be PROTECTED
Thrift Stamps May Be Exchanged
for W. S. S. After December 81.

Many inquiries have been received
harding the exchange Of Thrift
Stamps on or after December 81.
fsa8, when It Is planned that the " ar
Savings campaign shall end. This
matter Is covered fully in a special
bulletin from the Treasury Depart
ment, which reads:
The Secretary Of the Treasury will
make privision for the exchange OF
Thrift Stamps after December 81,
1913, into War Savings Stamps and
certificates, Series 1913. upon payment
Of the additional amount then re-
quired or into some of the other
Series, or will otherwise protect the
interest Of holders Of Thrift Stamps.
Some other series" refers TO a pos
sible issuance Of new series Of War
Savings Stamps However, no such
issue has been announced asyet. The
phrase, payment Of the additional
amount then required" refers to the
difference in value between Thrift
and War Savings Stamps, at the time
this exchange Is made.
Since War Savings Stamps increase
in value each month, the holder OF
Thrift Stamps. when exchanging them
would necessarily pay whatever IN
crease was then, quoted, receiving
five dollars for every War Savings
Stamp at maturity in 1923.
Sales Of War Savings and Thrift
Stamps, for the first week in April. at
the Treasury booth, totaled slJ, 90
Since the time covered by this amour;
includes the first day of the Liberty
Loan drive, the amount is considered
by those in charge Of the booth. as
a good showing.

NJ GAS SHORTAGE
 NOW ANTICIPATED
 DURING THIS YEAR

There will be no gasoline shortage during the coming spring and summer seasons, in the opinion of R. D. Ben son, president of the Tide Water Oil Go. While exports of gasoline will undoubtedly be greater than in pre- vious years, in order to supply the Allies for war purposes, and a larger amount will be required for war use by the United States government in it's many aeroplanes and motor trucks, sufficient will remain to supply the wants of the small domestic consumer.
 number of automobile owners are of the erroneous belief that not only will gasoline be difficult to obtain, but that they will have to pay much higher prices for their supply. Motorists have nothing to fear along this line. While prices of rubber tires for auto mobiles and other accessories have scared to unprecedented levels, the price of gasoline has remained prac- tically stationary.

CHOICE OF TRUCKS
 |S REDUCED DOWN
 ID SCIENCE ISSUE

"Is it of the right design and size 10 prove adaptable to my business?' is the first thing business concerns make sure of in purchasing motor trucks" says George H. Reuben of the Kissel Auto company.
 The manufacturer wants his trucks to possess dependability, power, strength and load capacity to enable his transportation department to ship and haul goods as fast as they are pro duced. The wholesaler and jobber want to be equipped to rush goods to their dealers at short notice, whether in the city or long trips in the country The retailer wants to extend his de- livery area. He wants to either cut down his delivery expense, or serve more customers at his present cost.
 ITO solve the question of the right size and most adaptable truck for diff ferent lines of business, a recent ex- tensive investigation resulted in the following:
 Dry goods and department stores in 30 different states were using trucks with an average capacity of 1,500 pounds while quite a number of stores used heavier trucks for freighting pur- poses and in handling furniture and various other heavy articles of mer- chandise.
 "Grocers, bakers, meat markets and other lines of business need the light speedy truck from 1000 to 1,500 pounds Capacity for retail delivery use.
 z Motor trucks were first used by the larger ice manufacturers and dealers for their wholesale deliveries and for some time after their introduction only the largest capacity trucks were con- Sidered. Ice dealers realized that while there were certain advantages to be gained by the use of large capacity trucks the low speed at which they operate increased the loss of the pro- duct while in transit. Then too it was found that while large capacity trucks were capable of handling large quan- titles of ice at one time, 30 per cent of the time they were not large enough while the other 70 per cent of the time they were entirely too large.
 This led to the belief that instead Of using one truck of large capacity il would be far more economical tC operate two trucks of small capacity but with greater speed. When tried out. this proved very successful, but as a result, only about 20 per cent of the motor trucks now used for ice delivery are over three tons capacity while St per cent range in capacity from three quarter ton to three tons.
 There is some divergence of opinior relative to the truck that can be useC most economically and advantageousl. by manufacturers of furniture Ther, is however cOncensus of opinion tha the two ton or the three ton truck i. the best capacity for the furnitur, business where one line of manufac ture is carried on. This, no doubt, be cause hardly any truck would be loaded to capacity in carrying furniture all O which would be case goods, chairs, bed or any other kind of furniture. Tn, difference in opinion comes in the typ' of body that should be used. But thi difference is perfectly natural becaus the manufacturer of chairs. unless h ships his products knocked down, coul, not possibly load truck to capacity and even if he did ship knocked dow il is doubtful if he could load to ful capacity"

BATTERY ADVICE OF EXPERT ONLY GOOD

Mixed in with the helpful informa- tion in the popular scientific papers is a good deal of battery advice that should not be followed. Read it if you will-but don't take it too seriously until you have an experts opinion.
 This sound advice is given to car owners by E. l.. Gielow, chief cleo trician for Western Machinery con- pany, local Willard Storage Battery representatives.
 Every once in a while," says E. L. Gielow. there appears in one of these publications an article describing in detail just how sulphating of plates can be cured after it had been allowed to proceed. Of course every battery user knows that sulphation, if allowed to gain headway, is injurious to plates, and most everyone knows that it can be cleared up by a special charging process. According to the magazine articles there is another and much simpler way, which involves doctoring the batteries.
 Writers of these rather misleading articles on battery cures usually go on to explain how some very simple chem ical can be added to the battery to pro- duce results that seem little short of wonderful Usually the instructions are made vague enough and enough ifs and 'howevers, and qualifying
 phrases put in to make you think tha

At Last Years Prices

those of a year ago. with but few eX- ception. Last year gasoline, tank wagon basis, was selling at 23 cents a gallon in New York. as compared with the present price of 24 cents. Despite increased labor costs and sharp ad- vances in the price of crude oil, re- liners have held the price down. It is the aim of Standard Oil and the gov ernment to keep gasoline prices as low as possible. The price to consumers at Standard Oil stations is 26 cents a gallon. A slight increase in the price of gasoline during the next few months, probably to the extent of one or two cents gallon, is expected. There will not, however, be anything like an advance to 35 cents a gallon. according to well posted oil men. Sev- eral of the larger oil companies have helped to keep prices at their present levels through eliminating the terms of credit formerly extended to their customers, and by carrying their tank wagon business on strictly cash basis.
 In Boston, Philadelphia and Pitts burg, automobile owners are paying 27 cents a gallon for their gasoline. Consumers in San Francisco are re- ceiving their supply at 20 cents gal lon. St. Louis, Kansas City, Okla homa City and Memphis, with gaso- line at 21 cents a gallon. are other cit ies where consumers are able to pur- chase their supply at considerably low CT prices than in eastern points.
 Question of Transportation
 | The Tide Water Oil Co.,, which | through it's subsidiary, the Tidal Oi Co.,, has. many distributing stations l throughout the eastern section has not not closed any of them. Those com panies which were obliged to close some of their stations, did not do so because of the threatened shortage of that pro. 1 duct but because of the inability tc transport it. Gulf Refining Co. ha. closed 39 of it's distributing stations 1T ! New Jersey and adjacent territory, be- cause of the impossibility of transport ing oil, following the requisition O. most of it's tank ships by the govern ment. Companies which have proper facilities to transport gasoline to theil various stations, like the Tidal Oil Co. Standard oil Co.,, and the Texas Co. are not expected to discontinue any O their service stations.
 The report of the secretary of stat, of New York for 1917 shows that ther' are 411,567 motor vehicles of all kind in that state which use gasoline ant must be supplied with this product Of the total 33S,6S2 are passenger cars .932 omnibuses and 55,402 trucks O

A Page From Yesterday
(From the Chevrolet Review

Speaking of the word automobile" at the time it was first being seriously considered as the authentic name for all motor vehicles used to carry pass engers. an early writer had this to say: AS for the word automobile it is French. and represents the faddish and speculative phases of the motor vehicle movement Practical men will not worry their tongues with such word of learned length and foreign deriva- tion."
 "It seares horses," was the cry of many anti-autoists in 1895. Suppose it does" wrote a well-known writer at that time. in defense of the motor car; "so do locomtives. bicycles, street cars, Fourth of July celebrations and dozen other things. Horses must get used to it."
 The first public garage of record, where motor cars could be stored, re- paired or rented, was opened in Bos- ton, Mass, early in the spring of 1899.
 The first damage suit in which the alleged offender was motor car was tried in Rochester, N. Y, in 1899. The plaintiff declared that the motor car owned and driven by the defendant had spoiled the disposition of his horse.
 A prominent physician of Flatbush N. r.. was the owner of an early motor car which at that time, he stated, saved him six hundred dollars in a year, as compared with the cost of two horses which he formerly kept in use in his practice.
Arizona republican., 1918-08-04

In 1899 automobiles were excluded from the public streets of Boston from 1O:3O in the morning until 9 o'clock in the evening.
 The United States army made their first experiments with armored motor cars in the summer of 1899.
 In September 1895. there were on file in Washington over five hundred applications for patents on automo- piles. Three hundred different types of motor vehicles had been built or were in process of construction at that date.
 The first automobile insurance com pany in this country was started in New York City This was in 1899.
 Motor cars were used as early as 1896 to bring voters to the polls during elections
 The first automobile club was started in Chicago in 1895.
 Jacob German was the first man ar- rested in New York City for exceeding the speed limit in a motor vehicle. On a bright spring morning in May, 1899 German drove down Lexington ave- nue at the terrific speed of twelve miles an hour and wound up in a nice cool cell in the police station.
 
 The present king of England, King George. placed his stamp of approval upon the motor car in 1900, when he took up motoring for the first time.
